Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley County Board,
during its regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, May 26,
authorized the funding for the
watershed coordinator posi-
tion.
This position is supposed
to be a grant funded position,
but the current grant will ex-
pire in August of 2015 and a
new grant to cover the posi-
tion will not begin until
March of 2016. The Board
approved funding the posi-
tion during the interim by a
4-1 vote. Commissioner
Bobbie Harder voted against
funding the position. The
cost to fund the position be-
tween grants will be $20,782
plus taxes and benefits
Tax
Assessments
The Board approved the
Memorandum of Understand-
ing for professional services
agreement for tax assess-
ments with the districts.
Each district enters into a
memorandum of understand-
ing with Sibley County
through the Sibley County
Assessor’s office. The costs
to the districts for the 2016
assessment was increased
five percent over the previous
year. The cost to the City of
Arlington will be $10,800
and the cost to the City of
Green Isle will be $4,400.
The districts have already
signed the memorandums.
MnDOT
10-year plan
Ronda Allis, Principal
Planner at MnDOT, reviewed
the 10-year district work pro-
posal. Sibley County is in
MnDOT District 7 which
covers Blue Earth, Brown,
Cottonwood, Faribault, Jack-
son, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicol-
let, Nobles, Rock, Sibley,
Waseca and Watonwan coun-
ties. The 10-year proposal
covers the years 2016-2025.
Allis stated that the proj-
ects for 2016-2019 have al-
ready been decided, but
MnDOT wanted to share pro-
posed projects for the years
2020-2025 with the Board.
Proposed projects for 2020
include bridge work in
Winthrop, work on Highway
22 south of Gaylord and
Highway 93 east of Hender-
son. Work on 22 and 93 may
shift to 2021 because of fund-
ing availability and input
from local government.
Allis also asked County
Commissioners to begin
thinking about potential proj-
ects in the area. Some of the
things the county should
begin considering are utili-
ties, lighting, streetscape
ideas, local plans and safety
concerns. The 10-year work
proposal is updated annually
and reflects priorities identi-
fied by the Minnesota State
Highway Investment Plan
(MnSHIP).
Public Works
Updates
The Board accepted the
quote from J & R Larsen
Ground Maintenance out of
Lakeville for the grass seed-
ing at Rush River Park. This
project will cost $20,625 and
is funded by FEMA.
The Board authorized Pub-
lic Works Director Tim Beck-
er to sign a purchase agree-
ment with Cretex Concrete
Products from Maple Grove
for an eight foot by eight foot
box culvert and end sections
for replacement of a timber
box located approximately
1,000 feet north of the
Jessenland Church on CSAH
6. The Board also authorized
Becker to obtain quotes for
the culvert repair. Becker
will bring the quotes back to
the next Board meeting.
Becker would like to proceed
with the project as soon as
possible because he said that
the pavement has fallen at the
shoulder of the road and it
has been reduced to a single
lane.
In another item, the Board
accepted a quote of $35,305
from Barnett Brothers Incor-
porated from Kilkenny for
culvert repairs on CR 164
and CSAH 16. The 2014
flood event caused many of
the existing joints to separate
and the roads are settling into
the nearly 50 year old cul-
verts. Becker stated that part
of the culvert of CR 164 is
completely collapsed. This
project is funded 75 percent
by FEMA and 25 percent by
the State.
In addition, the Board au-
thorized the county engineer
and county attorney to exe-
cute a drainage and utility
easement with Jerome Nuss-
baumer and Audrey Jean
Mary Dickie for $250. The
drainage easements are need-
ed on CSAH 8 approximately
500 feet west of CSAH 18 in
order to replace a drainage
culvert which was also dam-
aged in the June 2014 flood-
ing.

Arbor Day & Sibley Serve
The City of Arlington and the Sibley East Public
School in Arlington partnered and held an Arbor Day
celebration and city clean up day called Sibley Serve
on Friday, May 22. (Left Photo) Arlington Mayor Rich
Nagel read the Arbor Day Proclamation during a brief
ceremony at Frenzel Park. City Forester Stephen
Nicholson collaborated with Christine Butler’s Sibley
East Senior High School biology students on tree
identification and evaluation. The students learned
from the city forester the proper method for tree plant-
ing and tips on caring for young trees. (Top Photo)
This group of students helped to plant trees as a part
of Sibley Serve at Frenzel Park. Left to right: Devon
Schultz, Leah Serbus, Sadie Lane, Ricardo Martinez.
One Day plus One School equals Positive Impact. That
was the motto for Sibley Serve. This endeavor
brought students and staff together as one school to
serve the schools and communities, according to Sib-
ley East Senior High Principal Tim Schellhammer.
Over 175 sophomores and juniors and staff were
available to complete service projects throughout the
school district on Friday, May 22.
Brau Motors to celebrate renovation project with open house
Enterprise photo by Kurt Menk
An open house to celebrate the renovation
project at Brau Motors in downtown Arlington
will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday,
May 30.
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Brau Motors, located along
Highway 5 in downtown Ar-
lington, will hold an open
house to celebrate its recently
completed renovation project.
The open house will be held
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Satur-
day, May 30. Cookies and
coffee will be served, accord-
ing to Bruce and Rob Brau.
Interior renovations were
made to the complete sales
area, customer service area
and parts department. The
service reception area is brand
new. In addition, the entire
lighting system is new as well
as the ceiling and floor.
Exterior renovations in-
clude a new canopy and the
new blue tower. New garage
doors have also been in-
stalled. In addition, the entire
building has been re-stuccoed
and repainted.
Overall, the entire renova-
tion project took 1 1/2 years.
The renovation project
began during the spring of
2013 and was completed in
mid December of 2014.
“It was a real mess for a
long time,” said Bruce. “We
sold a lot of vehicles sitting
around a dust covered desk.
Our customers have been just
remarkable.”
Rob said the renovation
project has been a lot of work,
“but we have received numer-
ous compliments and have
gotten so many encouraging
words from local people dur-
ing the process that we feel
we need to celebrate.”
Rob added, “While we are
proud to have been in busi-
ness for 69 years, our building
needed to be updated and was
showing its age. When Gener-
al Motors made it known that
they wanted to uniform the
look of its dealerships, we
made the decision to invest in
our businesses and, therefore,
in this town because we be-
lieve in both.”
Their father, Norb, passed
away before he could see the
finished project, “but he
agreed with the renovation
and was very much for doing
it,” said Bruce and Rob.

Despite chilly tempera-
tures and light rain, a
groundbreaking ceremony
was held for the new Sibley
East Elementary School in
Gaylord on Tuesday after-
noon, May 26.
Approximately 700 ele-
mentary students and teach-
ers from the Arlington and
Gaylord campuses gathered
for the event.
“The future is bright at
Sibley East,” said Sibley
East Elementary Principal
Mari Lu Martens. She
added that the new school
“marks a new chapter in the
history of Sibley East.”
Superintendent Jim Ams-
den encouraged the children
to thank their parents and
community members for in-
vesting in their future.
The students and teachers
spelled out SE near the new
elementary building site. A
picture was taken by a Life
Touch photographer from a
boom truck. That photo will
be published in next week’s
edition of the Arlington En-
terprise.
After the picture, a
groundbreaking ceremony
was held with Sibley East
and Gaylord dignitaries and
a dozen students.
The new Sibley East Ele-
mentary School in Gaylord
will house students in
grades PreK through the
fifth grade. It will be located
east of the stormwater pond.
The hope is to have the new
school ready for the 2017-
2018 school year.
Groundbreaking ceremony held for new school

20, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment.
Approximately 15 yards of beans sustained damage,
according to the report. The bean field is owned by John
Ed Dacey. The total loss is estimated at $50.
People who have any information about this incident
are encouraged to contact the Sibley County Sheriff’s
Department at 1-888-8880-4567.

The Golden Age Club of Arlington is looking for new
members.
Sheephead is played at the Senior Citizens Building
from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. every Thursday.
Sheephead or 500 is played after the monthly meet-
ings which are held on the second Thursday of every
month.

G.I. Lions Club ready to donate
The Green Isle Lions Club would like to donate
$4,800 to the City of Green Isle for improvements at the
Lions Park.
Green Isle Lions Club member Kris Winkelman made
that announcement during a recent regular meeting of
the Green Isle City Council.
A Park Board meeting will be called and City Council
member John Schauer will check into the cost of in-
stalling a water heater. In addition, Schauer will also
check into the possibility of re-siding the building in the
park.
City Council member Shawn Harms mentioned that
the city constructed a new basketball court in the park. I
& S representatives and Harms will look into possible
help in writing grants for playground equipment.
Thies receives scholarship
Sibley East senior Sam Thies has been awarded a
$1,500 scholarship from America’s Farmers Grow Ag
Leaders, a new program sponsored by the Monsanto
Fund.
Thies, rural Arlington, will attend South Dakota State
University in the fall to study agronomy and crop sci-
ence with plans to become an agronomist.
“Sam has been a leader within FFA for the last three
years and defines leading by example,” said Jeff Eppen,
the high school FFA advisor. “He has a really good un-
derstanding of agricultural production and why it is im-
portant. He can look at it from all different perspectives,
not just as a kid who grew up on a farm, but also on a
consumer level and from a business perspective.”
The future of agriculture relies on talented young peo-
ple like Thies to fill thousands of jobs in a variety of
fields, such as plant science, engineering, communica-
tions, finance and more. Grow Ag Leaders encourages
rural youth to remain in agriculture and provides schol-
arships to support their education.

The Arlington Municipal
Hospital and the Arlington, Gay-
lord and Winthrop clinics are
moving closer toward the inte-
gration of both organizations.
Under the proposed terms of the

Trailblazer Transit received
high praise from Tom Got-
tfried, program director for
the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) Of-
fice of Transit at the joint
powers board’s Thursday
morning meeting.
Gottfried lauded Trailblaz-
er for its success in incorpo-
rating most of Wright Coun-
ty’s communities into its
service area.
Gottfried said Trailblazer
began work on taking in
Wright County into its serv-
ice area well over a year ago
after River Rider, which
served Wright and Sherburne
counties, was slated to dis-
solve in July 2014.
“I’m exceedingly pleased
with the process and profes-
sionalism,” said Gottfried.
“Despite the slings and ar-
rows, you managed to man-
age this in a very, very pro-
fessional and effective man-
ner. Trailblazer is one of my
stellar transit systems, and I
don’t say that lightly.”
Gary Ludwig, Trailblazer’s
executive director, said he
also is pleased, although
Trailblazer’s expansion into
Wright County has not al-
ways been easy.
“The numbers look very
good, ” said Ludwig, who
added that Trailblazer added
20,000 rides in the first quar-
ter of 2015 as compared to
2014.
“We continue to provide at
least as much service as River
Rider, and we’re looking at
expanding that service,” Lud-
wig stated.
Ludwig also reported that
funding has finally been se-
cured for the new Trailblazer
facility to be constructed in
Buffalo, with the help of the
city of Buffalo. Buffalo will
build the facility, and Trail-
blazer will rent it from Buffa-
lo with the option to buy it
for $1 after the bond is paid
off. Trailblazer’s rent will
provide revenue to Buffalo to
make the bond payments.
The total cost is estimated
at $3.4 million, with the inter-
est at 2.87 percent.
A groundbreaking for the
Buffalo facility was set for
July 1 at 9 a.m.

awarded a grant from South-
ern Minnesota Initiative
Foundation for a business ex-
pansion and retention pro-
gram. The grant funds will
be used to retain Amy New-
som to serve as a business de-
velopment consultant.
Newsom will be contacting
Sibley County businesses to
discuss a variety of topics
ranging from general busi-
ness climate, employment,
future investment plans, com-
munity initiatives and other

Contact Amy Newsom to
schedule an appointment.
Newsom will be contacting
businesses in the next few
weeks to schedule a half hour
visit. “We hope you will as-
sist our efforts by participat-
ing in a short interactive dis-
cussion, ” said Newsom.
“Your feedback is valuable in
helping the County and Re-
gion better serve the business
community. Hearing from
businesses in the community
is the key to successful busi-
ness retention efforts.”
People who have any ques-
tions or would like to sched-
ule an appointment with
SBDC are encouraged to con-
tact Newsom at 507-237-

Sibley East to graduate 89 seniors on Sunday

Trailblazer Transit needs
32 drivers and eight adminis-
trative and support staff em-
ployees, its joint powers
board heard Thursday morn-
ing.
“I’m challenged to fill 40
open positions,” said Execu-
tive Director Gary Ludwig.
The upshot, said Ludwig, is
that there is a huge demand
for drivers right now in all as-
pects of the economy.
“The economy is doing
very well at the moment, and
transportation is one of the
leading factors in that recov-
ery,” said Ludwig. “We’re
losing drivers.”
In fact, said Ludwig, driv-
ers are leaving Trailblazer
and moving to other commu-
nities, knowing they can land
a job. Even Ben Armstrong,
the fleet manager, left after
6
1
⁄2 years to move to Chicago
to be closer to family, on the
assumption he would be able
to find another, comparable
job in that area.
Trailblazer increased its
wages a few months ago to
try to keep up with the de-
mand, and on Thursday, its
joint powers board approved
another $2 an hour increase
for all employees, effective
July 1.
Tonia Parsons, operations
manager for Trailblazer, said
she has interviewed 189 peo-
ple in the past 18 months, and
made 33 job offers. Of those,
21 accepted jobs with Trail-
blazer. The others declined.
The primary reason people
declined jobs, Parsons said,
“was due to wages or hours.”
Ludwig said that while the
addition of communities in
Wright County to Trailblaz-
er’s service area has been fi-
nancially beneficial, employ-
ees in Wright County tend to
be paid more because of their
proximity to the Twin Cities.
“It’s an entirely different
planet up there (Wright
County), ” said Ludwig.
“There is a more robust econ-
omy, and it’s difficult to at-
tract employees.”
McLeod County Commis-
sioner Doug Krueger, himself
an over-the-road trucker,
agreed that wages being of-
fered to commercial drivers
have risen dramatically with
the improved economy.
Krueger asked if experi-
enced drivers were able to
start higher on the wage
schedule.
Ludwig said that while that
had been the case at one time,
it was later decided by earlier
members of the joint powers
board to have all new em-
ployees start at the beginning
of the salary scale, regardless
of experience.
“I know that if I was com-
ing in with 20 years of expe-
rience, I’d have a hard time
starting at the beginning of
the wage scale, ” said
Krueger.
On the other hand, Ludwig
acknowledged, current em-
ployees have a hard time ac-
cepting new employees start-
ing at higher wages when
they haven’t yet been trained
into the system.
“They wonder why some-
one else is making more
when they’re doing the same
job,” Ludwig said.
The joint powers board
agreed to Ludwig’s suggested
increase of $2 per hour, effec-
tive July 1, and asked him to
look into the feasibility of of-
fering higher wages to expe-
rienced drivers, particularly
those with transit experience.

Opinions
The nature of editorials
in the local newspaper
Our View: Opinion pieces open a
dialogue on timely and important issues
Letters To The Editor
A weekly editorial has been a feature in the Arlington En-
terprise newspaper for almost six years now. These opinion
pieces, which had been the heart and soul of weekly newspa-
pers 40 to 50 years ago, are a rarity in hometown newspapers
across the state today. The Arlington Enterprise, in fact, is the
only newspaper in Sibley County to publish an editorial on
its opinion page each and every week.
The purpose of an editorial is to open dialogue and facili-
tate discussion on timely and important issues primarily in
the Arlington and Green Isle communities and Sibley County.
When writing an editorial for publication in the local news-
paper, the editor or manager identifies a timely and important
issue, examines the different sides of the issue, takes a stand
on the issue which is supported with facts, and tries hard to
offer a solution or future course of action.
Some topics are much easier to write about than others. In
addition, it is sometimes difficult to write an editorial on a
sensitive topic in a small community were everybody seems
to know everybody. Although some individuals or groups
may take an editorial in a personal way, this newspaper will
never personally attack any individual or group, but simply
toss the opinion out into the public eye.
Some people may believe that a publication which takes a
stand on these types of issues is a negative newspaper. That is
hardly the case at all. Again, the purpose of editorials is to
open that dialogue and facilitate discussion and get people,
especially elected officials, to think before they officially act
on important issues.
Finally, the editor and manager of this newspaper are hard-
ly the final voices of authority on every topic and readers wil
surely not agree with each weekly editorial. When that hap-
pens, this newspaper hopes readers will exercise their right
and write a letter to the editor.

To The Editor,
I was happy to see the Minnesota
Supreme Court backed the voters of
ISD 2310 and validated the election
results from last November. Upon
reading Mr. Kranz’s response to the
ruling that we should disrespect the
court system, it struck me as odd
considering this is the same court
system that allowed him to contest
an approved election. Once Judge
Eide validated the election results,
this court system allowed him to
bring it to the Minnesota Court of
Appeals to be heard. Then, even
though it took them all of one day to
dismiss the appeal, he was allowed
to proceed to the Minnesota
Supreme Court. I don’t know
Nathan Kranz, he might be a very
nice person, but it is he that is disre-
spectful to the 1,634 majority voters
that approved this referendum, be-
cause for once the referendum vote
didn’t go his/their way.
There have been many letters to
the editor over the past seven
months giving every reason why a
majority vote shouldn’t be allowed.
It now appears it has moved on from
the election to the attorney fees.
The letter in last week’s Enterprise
made me laugh as the writer finds it
mind boggling that the school dis-
trict would go after legal fees. I
found it mind boggling that this
would get pushed all the way to the
Minnesota Supreme Court but it was
in Mr. Kranz’s rights to do so. The
same goes for the school district.
They had every right to sue for legal
fees and then appeal if they so de-
sired, that is the country in which
we live. Why does one party have
the right to appeal, appeal, appeal
and the other party it makes no
sense when they appeal? I would
say at this point it’s time for all par-
ties to move on and get excited
about the groundbreaking.
Finally, I would like to name
those who are liable, accountable
and responsible for the new school.
Thank you to Superintendent James
Amsden, Board Members Brian
Brandt, Anne Karl, Scott Dose, Beth
Dufrane, Michelle Weber and Dan
Woehler for all your hard work and
time you spent getting the votes to
approve our school. I’ll also throw
in Laura Reid and Sara Ziegler for
your commitment to the school
going forward and most important to
all the teachers and administration
of Sibley East. We trust our children
to you everyday and now we can
also trust that we are sending them
to, and providing you, with a safe
building for many years to come.
I’m very proud of ISD 2310.

Time to get excited about SE building projects
To The Editor,
It is said that news is the first draft
of history. Locally the newspaper of
record is the Arlington Enterprise.
They cover local news, and feature
History 100 years ago, 75 years ago,
45 years ago, and 15 years ago.
The Headline read, Supreme
Court denies Kranz Petition for Re-
view. And the story read The Sibley
School District is relieved and look-
ing to move forward. The bonds can
finally be issued. The construction
start date and projection of an open-
ing date will be offered as we move
forward. It will be a busy year at
Sibley East. Nathan Kranz was dis-
appointed but remains resolved.
That is the first draft, but the cen-
tral question is after a contentious
referendum that barely passed have
the actions of the School Board
made it nearly impossible to bring
both sides together. There are those
who think the new school is long
overdue, an investment in the com-
munities, and will be a growth fac-
tor. The other side thinks we cannot
afford this, it places an unfair bur-
den on the farmers and land owners,
and the population actually is not
growing. Those were the issues and
it broke 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent.
But then the news that the School
District had bungled the publication
statutes before the election an addi-
tional issue came forward. They
hoped no one would notice. Nathan
Kranz did notice and brought this to
light. If they cannot meet a 40-day
window and publish the complete
unedited Commissioner’s Summary,
then what can you expect they can
do? What else do they need to do,
or are not doing on time?
Is there a statute covering the is-
suing of bonds, solicitation of bids,
or final certification of the levies? Is
there any need for the district to
publish notice on the intended proj-
ects, the amount of the bond issue,
and the total indebtedness of the dis-
trict? How many days published no-
tice do they need to give on this be-
fore they move forward?
If there is a Statute covering this,
and it is not observed, what are the
consequences? Maybe there is no
prescribed penalty, but a second
round of violations would be a pat-
tern.
Then there is another question, is
the School Board required by statute
to publish their meeting notes?
How soon after the meeting are the
notes required to be published?
And then there was the overreach.
The Board and Superintendent
unanimously sued Kranz for their
legal fees. This raises the question,
what won’t they do? They have been
unabashed in attempting to intimi-
date Kranz. The 48.5 percent is
outraged and galvanized, and cer-
tainly some of the original 51.5 per-
cent have had questions and second
thoughts raised on how this all was
handled. If they were taken aback
by violation of statutes, the intimi-
dation of Kranz, or a lack of leader-
ship, you are looking at more than
50 percent who have serious ques-
tions or are opposed to how the
School Board and the Superintend-
ent are operating the Sibley East
School District.
Moving forward is more than
about a new school rather the focus
must be focused on restoring trust
and uniting these two factions. That
would seem to be an impossible hur-
dle.

To The Editor,
As the school year comes
to a close I would like to take
a moment to thank the teach-
ers at the Green Isle Commu-
nity School (GICS) and share
with the public the impact the
school has had in my chil-
dren.
As the director of the
school I understand that I
may be biased; however, my
husband and I initially chose
this school for our children
long before I was in this role.
We first came to GICS
when our eldest child was in
first grade. Although he liked
kindergarten and first grade
he did not like school so
much and didn’t want to do
his homework because he
didn’t enjoy the worksheets.
It was within a couple weeks
of that year we toured GICS
and decided the drive was
worth it.
We now have four kids at
GICS, one child in each
classroom. They are each
very different but all love
school. Our youngest is in
kindergarten and has excelled
in reading far beyond his
level yet Mrs. Kroehler has
continued to challenge him.
He also enjoys playtime and
crafting. Play centers are his
favorite part of the day. When
he grows up he wants to be a
police officer. Our first grader
is ahead in both Math and
Reading and his teacher, Mrs.
Djerf, has worked hard to
help us balance social and ac-
ademic challenges. He loves
school so much he cries when
he is sick because he hates to
miss school. When he grows
up he wants to be a banker
and wants to serve in the mil-
itary. Our daughter is in
fourth grade and has always
been interested in school. She
is our creative one who loves
to write stories, poems and
plays. She is a book worm
and never thought she was
good at math. She has since
proved herself wrong and has
excelled in math. Mrs. Barrett
has helped give her confi-
dence and pushed her to be
better. She aspires to be a
children’s author or art
teacher. This week our oldest
will be graduating from sixth
grade at GICS. So much has
changed for him. He doesn’t
just like school, he loves
school, he loves to read, he is
finishing up Algebra I, he has
gone to Legionville Safety
Patrol camp, he has gone to
the regional science fair, he
has learned he likes to act in
the Elders’ Celebration plays
and enjoys trap shooting on
the Sibley East Trap Team.
When he grows up he wants
to be an engineer. I’d like to
thank his teachers for the
amazing job they have done
helping him to not just learn
but love learning. Mrs. Julie
Grams and Ms. Kristen
Strauss spent years with this
boy. Thank you ladies for car-
ing for and teaching my son.
To the staff at GICS both
past and present thank you so
much for all of your hard
work and dedication to help-
ing students find their pas-
sions. I have seen first hand
how hard you all work, how
many hours you put in at
school and how many more
hours you put in at home.
You have all made GICS
more than just a school, it's
family. My children not only
have friends, they have great
memories with their siblings
through homeroom and field
trip. They have all learned so
much both academic and oth-
erwise. I’m confident they
have and will continue to re-
ceive a well-rounded educa-
tion. I feel incredibly blessed
to have this school for my
children. Thank you teachers
for making it all happen.

Green Isle school impacts children
To The Editor,
In the May 21 edition of
the Arlington Enterprise, Edi-
tor Kurt Menk stated over 20
residents voiced concerns
over street and utility im-
provement and why shouldn’t
he because it fell on the deaf
ears of our mayor and city
council.
Council member Jennifer
Nuesse stated that there were
public hearings in 2014 and
people should have voiced
their concerns. At these hear-
ing the streets were to be nar-
rowed one foot on either side.
Somewhere about a month or
so ago the streets were to be
narrowed to two feet on ei-
ther side. No residents were
informed of this change at
that time.
Mayor Rich Nagel said it
was too late in the process to
make any changes. The two-
foot change was made after
the 2014 meeting. It was al-
right for them or the engineer
to change this about a month
or so ago with no residents
informed of it, so why can’t
the changes to the street
width be made now as con-
struction of the curb hasn’t
started.
Not mentioned also in the
newspaper is that when the
new school is built the streets
could become bus routes and
if they were narrowed and it
became a safety hazard to
pedestrians and traffic, the
streets would be designated
as one-way streets or parking
on one side only.
The school will provide a
parking area sacrificing the
playground area, but will it
hold 75 to 100 cars (conserv-
atively speaking) that park
around the school and neigh-
boring blocks not only for
school time but for events
such as basketball, etc.
City Council member Jim
Heiland remarked about a
street in the Twin Cities as
being narrow and cars pass
safely on them. How many
streets become one-ways or
park on one side only when
the snow piles up. Arlington
isn’t the Twin Cities nor do
we want to be.
We were informed by the
engineer that by narrowing
the streets the city could save
$100, 000 in blacktop if
streets were narrowed. How
far will $100,000 go if acci-
dents occur to fix vehicles not
to say hopefully not lives.
Why sidewalks? Replace
them where they are needed.
Very few people use them nor
do children going to school.
The remark was made at the
city council meeting to have
policemen arrest them. We
have an excellent police de-
partment whose time can be
used for other duties than jay
walking people and if that be
the case we all at sometime
would be arrested in the
downtown area.
We as concerned citizens
hope the mayor and city
council will make some
changes to keep Arlington a
safer place to live and safe
streets to drive on.

The Sibley County Board,
during its regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, May 26,
approved out-of-state travel
for Rachel Fruhwirth.
Fruhwirth will travel to
Rutgers University in
Brunswick, NJ on June 18 to
present at the New Jersey As-
sociation of County and City
Health Officials. There is no
cost to the county for Fruh-
wirth to attend. The costs will
be paid for by the National
Association of County and
City Health Officials.
In other Public Health and
Human Services news, the
Board approved a resolution
authorizing South Country
Health Alliance and Medica
as the managed care organi-
zations providing services to
Sibley County.
Public Health and Human
Services Director Vicki Stock
also presented the Board with
the 2014 cash and medical
payments for Sibley County
residents. The total paid out
in cash and medical payments
was $25,968,008. Commis-
sioner Bobbie Harder com-
mented that the number
seemed high per capita since
Sibley County only has
15,226 residents.
Stock also pointed out that
May is Foster Care Month
and recognized the foster and
child care providers in Sibley
County.
Contract With
Renville County
The Board approved a re-
newal contract with Melissa
Koford, eligibility worker
from Renville County, to pro-
vide training and mentoring
for new eligibility workers in
Sibley County. Koford will
be paid $18.28 an hour and
the contract is effective May
31 through Dec 31.
Greater MN
Contract
The Board approved an
amendment to the Greater
Minnesota Family Services
contract to increase the full-
time equivalents (FTE) from
1.5 to 2 full-time equivalents.
Public Health and Human
Services Director Vicki Stock
said that Greater Minnesota
Family Services asked for
this increase because it is eas-
ier to recruit for a full-time
position than a part-time po-
sition. The cost to increase
the position from .5 to 1 FTE
is $39,464 before third-party
reimbursements such as med-
ical assistance and private in-
surance. The Board voted 4-1
to amend the contract to in-
crease the position to full-
time. Commissioner Harder
voted against.
