ENTERPRISE
Serving the Communities of Arlington and Green Isle, Minnesota
www.arlingtonmnnews.com Volume 130 • Number 44 • Thursday, May 8, 2014 • Arlington, MN 55307
Single copy $1.00
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Representatives from Me-
diacom and Frontier Commu-
nications were in attendance
at the Arlington EDA meeting
on Tuesday night, April 29.
Arlington City Council
member Jennifer Nuesse re-
quested the invitation to the
two companies after a 3-2
resolution for the City of Ar-
lington to rejoin the Renville-
Sibley County Fiber Cooper-
ative Joint Powers Board was
vetoed by Mayor Jim Kreft.
Mediacom
Mediacom representative
Barry Paulsen announced that
residential Internet speeds
will soon increase in Arling-
ton at no cost to customers.
Paulsen said Mediacom
currently offers Internet
speeds as high as 105
megabytes. That will be in-
creased to 150 megabytes
without an increase in rates.
The 105-megabyte package
is not a big seller at the cur-
rent time, according to
Paulsen. The most common
residential service level is 30
megabytes. Paulsen added
that Mediacom could match
any residential service level
proposed by the RS Fiber To
The Home Project.
Paulsen also explained that
Mediacom primarily operates
a fiber to coax cable system
in Arlington. According to
Paulsen, many business cus-
tomers are using the fiber to
coax cable distribution sys-
tem. A few accounts have
fiber connections from end to
end. Two of these enterprise
accounts are the Sibley East
Public School and the
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center.
The fiber infrastructure, ac-
cording to Mediacom repre-
sentative Bob Zuzek, runs
through Winthrop and Gay-
lord to Arlington.
Zuzek added that current
business Internet speeds are
available up to 105
megabytes. The most com-
mon business package is 10
to 20 megabytes with a one to
two megabyte upload.
Green Isle
Has Fiber
One interesting tidbit about
Green Isle surfaced at the Ar-
lington EDA meeting.
The Frontier Communica-
tions fiber line comes through
Green Isle and to its office
near Four Seasons Park in
Arlington, according to repre-
sentative Denny Lusk.
Frontier
Lusk reported that Frontier
Communications is willing to
work with local businesses
who need fiber. He also stat-
ed that Frontier Communica-
tions has a fiber connection
to the Sibley East Public
School in Arlington. This
connection, he said, can be
activated at any time. He
added that the Frontier Com-
munications fiber system is
similar to the Mediacom fiber
system.
Frontier Communications
representative Mike Palletta
said a fiber to every home
project in Arlington would
not be financially feasible for
his company at this time. The
costs would outweigh the
generated revenues.
Palletta added that the most
common residential package
for Internet speed in Arling-
ton is six megabytes.
Broadband
Corporation
Broadband Corporation
also has fiber lines in Arling-
ton, but the delivery method
for the final mile is wireless
technology, according to rep-
resentative Anthony Will.
Broadband Corporation
can provide Internet speeds
of up to 100 megabytes or
more if it is needed.
Will said people should
focus on what is needed
rather than how it is deliv-
ered. He added that the ab-
sence of fiber to every home
will not prevent people from
moving forward.
Will also stated that his
company can provide any
service to meet any need.
Comments
The representatives then
commented on the proposed
RS Fiber To The Home Proj-
ect.
Lusk admitted that the
western part of Sibley County
is lacking in technology. He
then commented that resi-
dents would need to decide
whether or not the eastern
part of Sibley County should
subsidize the western part of
Sibley County.
Will said that fiber is not
financially feasible in rural or
low density areas. He also
said prices published for the
RS Fiber To The Home Proj-
ect would not work. Will
added that the RS network, if
built, would go bankrupt and
current providers would look
to purchase the network for
pennies on the dollar.

Devin Rau and Britany Reierson were one of approxi-
mately 65 couples who attended the Sibley East Prom

Arlington awarded Twins Fields for Kids grant for Sportsmen’s Park
By Kurt Menk
The City of Arlington has
been awarded a 2014 Twins
Fields for Kids matching
grant of $10,000.
Arlington City Administra-
tor Liza Donabauer made the
announcement to the Arling-
ton City Council on Monday
night, May 4. The Arlington
Park Committee handled the
application process.
The Twins Fields for Kids
program, funded through the
Minnesota Twins Community
Fund, provides financial sup-
port to improve baseball
and/or softball facilities for
youth in the Upper Midwest
and Southwest Florida. The
program makes matching
grants available to non-profit
organizations and local gov-
ernment units that operate
baseball and/or softball pro-
grams.
Since its inception in 1999,
the program has granted more
than $3 million to improve
nearly 600 Upper Midwest
and Southwest Florida ball
fields.
The Park Committee plans
to use the funds and improve
the baseball/softball field at
the 27-acre Arlington Sports-
men’s Park. The park was do-
nated by the Arlington
Sportsmen’s Club to the City
of Arlington years ago.
The goal is to match the
$10,000 in private donations
and sweat equity.
According to the grant re-
quirements, the improve-
ments must be substantially
completed within a year. The
Park Committee hopes to
complete the field improve-
ments at the Arlington
Sportsmen’s Park by the end
of this summer or early fall.
“The Park Committee has
worked very hard over the
last several years to improve
the parks within the City of
Arlington,” said Park Com-
mittee Chairperson Alan
Ihrke. “We are very fortunate
to have been awarded the
2014 Twins Fields for Kids
matching grant from the Min-
nesota Twins organization.
This grant will enable the
City of Arlington and the
Park Committee to improve
the ball field at the Sports-
men’s Park. On behalf of the
Arlington Park Committee, I
would like to thank the Min-
nesota Twins for this match-
ing grant. We appreciate the
generosity of the Minnesota
Twins Baseball Club in its ef-
forts to give our youth a safe
environment and the opportu-
nity to participate in baseball
and softball.”
In addition to Ihrke, the
Park Committee is comprised
of Bob Thomes, Jim Peder-
son, Gary Hultgren, Karan
Pichelmann, Jerry Ebersviller
and City Council member
James Jaszewski.

Sibley East Activity Direc-
tor Randy Walsh shared final
reports on the winter activity
season, gave an update on the
spring season and a preview
of the 2014-15 school year
for the school board at its reg-
ular meeting in late April.
Walsh said Sibley East had
a good winter season. The
participation numbers were
down slightly from 2012-13,
which was a record year.
Boys basketball had a total
of 64 participants, down 10
from 2012-13, but still up 11
from 2011-12.
Girls basketball was also
down 10 with 44 total partici-
pants in grades 7-12, but
down only three from the
2011-12 season.
Wrestling remained strong
with only a decline of two
wrestlers from 2012-13, still
up 12 from 2011-12.
The three winter sports saw
a total of 140 participants in
grades 7-12, which was down
22 participants from 2012-13,
but up 20 from 2011-12.
Walsh expressed concern
about the number of partici-
pants in speech. There were
only three or four students on
the speech team.
He has been in very prelim-
inary talks with Glencoe-Sil-
ver Lake (GSL), who have
also experienced a decline in
the number of participants,
about forming a co-op in
Speech.
Sibley East and GSL cur-
rently have a co-op for the
soccer teams in the fall sea-
son.
Spring sports are off to a
good start, weather permit-
ting.
Baseball is up two partici-
pants with a total of 70 as of
the middle of April.
Softball is down two at 49
participants in grades 7-12.
Track has a total of 73 par-
ticipants, 34 girls and 39
boys. The track team is down
five participants from 2012-
13.
The golf team has seen a
decline over the years. This
year a total of 18 students in
grades 7-12 are participating.
There are nine boys in
grades 10-12, three in grades
7-9.
A total of six girls are out
for the golf team, two in
grades 10-12 and four in
grades 7-9.
Walsh, along with golf
coach Mike Fetrel, continues
to be concerned about the
numbers.
Fetrel has held a number of
golf related events and clinics
with little participation.
Walsh said one big problem
is there isn’t a golf course in
the district. Kids don’t grow
up golfing. “They can’t hop
on their bikes and ride to the
golf course,” Walsh said.
Walsh also reported the vi-
sual arts team, now in its sec-
ond year, has 18 participants
going to the state meet very
shortly.
He also added that May
will bring a number of band
and choir concerts.
Activities and athletics remain consistent at SE

Members of the Trailblazer
Transit Joint Powers Board
voted Thursday to discontin-
ue talks with the Wright
County Board of Commis-
sioners on possibly expand-
ing Trailblazer service into
that county.
Wright County is facing the
loss of public transit in its
county as the system current-
ly serving it, River Rider, is
set to dissolve June 30. River
Rider also provides transit
service in Sherburne County,
which has struck out on its
own for transit service.
On Tuesday, April 22, the
Wright County Board voted
3-2 to accept Trailblazer’s
stipulations that it provide
$210,000 toward Trailblaz-
er’s working capital fund,
share in 35 percent of the
local share of costs not cov-
ered by the Minnesota De-
partment of Transportation or
fare revenue, and accept the
Trailblazer “model” for oper-
ation.
Gary Ludwig, Trailblazer
Transit director, told the Joint
Powers Board that the Wright
County Board voted 3-2 to
accept those three items, but
also added a contingency that
Trailblazer had to hire River
Rider drivers “provided they
met the background check
and DOT qualifications.”
Sibley County Commis-
sioner Bill Pinske, who chairs
the Trailblazer Board, said
that while Wright County had
passed a resolution to partici-
pate, “I’m a little concerned
that 40 percent of the Wright
County Board is not in favor
of this.”
Sibley County Commis-
sioner Jim Swanson, another
member of the Trailblazer
Board, said he had watched a
video of the Wright County
meeting, and was disappoint-
ed in how prior discussions
with Trailblazer were present-
ed.
Swanson said at the last
meeting, Wright County
Commissioner Pat Sawatzke
had asked what the “model”
for Trailblazer is.
“We let our executive di-
rector explain that, ” said
Swanson. “I thought that was
explained quite well that this
is the way we’re going to op-
erate.”
However, said Swanson,
Sawatzke told the Wright
County Board that Wright
County didn’t receive a satis-
factory answer to the ques-
tion.
Swanson also said that
Trailblazer has been “pretty
clear on numbers” regarding
operating costs, but that was-
n’t the impression given to
the Wright County Board, ei-
ther.
“Things just aren’t being
communicated very well,”
said Swanson.
McLeod County Commis-
sioner Kermit Terlinden, who
also is the Trailblazer Board’s
vice chair, expressed disap-
pointment with the way
things have developed be-
tween Trailblazer and Wright
County.
“We would have loved to
work with their County
Board,” Terlinden said, “be-
cause then we’d all be on the
same level.”
But after watching videos
of Wright County Board
meetings, Terlinden said there
is an obvious lack of confi-
dence in Trailblazer by the
Wright County Board.
“I don’t know if they even
trust us on what’s going on
here,” said Terlinden. He
pointed in particular to a
comment made at the Wright
County meeting that perhaps
Wright County could try a
two-year agreement with
Trailblazer “and then maybe
work with someone else.”
Terlinden said it is the con-
stituents who will suffer from
the lack of transit in Wright
County.
“This could have been such
a win-win situation,” said
Terlinden. “There are going
to be people who suffer, and
that hurts me.”
McLeod County Commis-
sioner Sheldon Nies said the
atmosphere of the Wright
County Board seems to be
“just continuous arguing, and
I’m opposed to being a part
of that.”
Terlinden made a motion to
discontinue discussions with
the Wright County Board and
Nies seconded it.
In discussion of the mo-
tion, McLeod County Com-
missioner Ron Shimanski
said he was “very reluctant”
to support the motion, but
also said that it appears that
Wright County may not be a
viable partner.
Shimanski said that when
Trailblazer was formed by
McLeod and Sibley counties,
“you had willing partners and
it was still a rocky ride,” and
that it would be much more
difficult with a partner who is
not “receptive to the process.
We just don’t have enough
support to proceed in a posi-
tive fashion.”
When it came time to vote,
Pinske, Swanson, Nies and
Terlinden all voted in favor of
Terlinden’s motion, while
Shimanski abstained.
The Trailblazer Joint Pow-
ers Board then discussed two
more issues: whether it would
be willing to contract with
Functional Industries on pro-
viding rides for its clients,
and whether it would be will-
ing to work with the cities
within Wright County to pro-
vide transit service.
Pinske said he would like
to see an agreement with
Functional Industries, which
helps disabled adults get jobs.
“I would like to see this
route be in existence to help
those folks get to work,” said
Pinske.
Ludwig said he had already
met with Functional Indus-
tries and felt Trailblazer
could provide uninterrupted
service to its clients as of July
1. Those rides would be dis-
patched from the Glencoe fa-
cility, and Trailblazer has
three existing buses available
for the service.
As to working with the
cities, Board members indi-
cated that they would like to
see those cities form a joint
powers board to partner with
Trailblazer, since there are 17
communities in Wright Coun-
ty.
“We’d have to do it on the
basis that they would have to
do the work of getting a joint
powers agreement among
themselves,” said Pinske.
“We don’t want to referee be-
tween 17 different towns.”
But even with a joint pow-
ers agreement, Nies said he is
reluctant to work with the
cities rather than the county.
Nies said the Trailblazer
model is to provide rides
throughout the county, not
just within cities.
“The apple farmer right
outside of town has as much
of a right to a ride as the per-
son who lives in the city,”
said Nies.
But Nies said he agrees
that Trailblazer should have a
discussion with those cities if
they approach Trailblazer. “It
would be a mistake not to,”
he said.
Ludwig said that Trailblaz-
er already had indicated it
would try to address the
cities’concerns, but agreed
that they, also, would need to
realize that it would be a
countywide service.
Ludwig also said that a
Wright County proposal may
come back to the table at
some point, “whether it’s
through time, pressure or the
pain and suffering of resi-
dents.”

A Green Isle man has
been charged with four
counts of second degree
criminal sexual conduct for
alleged crimes that took
place over 10 years ago, ac-
cording to the KNUJ Radio
website.
David I. Prahl, 51, is ac-
cused of sexually assaulting
an underage boy in 2003
and 2004. The victim, who
is now 16, told investiga-
tors that Prahl forced him
to perform oral sex on him
in his semi-cab. Prahl also
allegedly fondled him on a
separate occasion.
Although the Minnesota
statute of limitations on al-
leged crimes is nine years,
there is an exception in the
case of minors that allows
charges to be filed up to
three years after the victim
reports the abuse.

Arlington has the
lowest tax per capita
in Sibley County
Our View: City should market
the community and its low taxes
Opinions
Guest Columns
The City of Arlington does a lot of things well, but it has
missed a golden opportunity in one area over the past few
years. The city has never promoted or marketed the fact that
Arlington has some of the lowest taxes in Sibley County.
According to a recent study, Arlington has the lowest tax per
capita in Sibley County. The tax per capita is determined by a
city’s tax levy and dividing that figure by its population. Ar-
lington is the lowest at $339. Gaylord is a distant second at
$426 followed by Winthrop at $464 and New Auburn at $479.
Henderson ($545), Gibbon ($577) and Green Isle ($919)
round out the seven cities in Sibley County.
Every city in Sibley County is different. Some cities provide
more services than the others. Some cities have more commer-
cial buildings than the others. The tax per capita, in the opin-
ion of many people, is the fairest comparison because it takes
a look at the tax burden placed on each individual in a com-
munity.
Arlington also ranks second lowest when it comes to proper-
ty taxes in Sibley County, according to the Sibley County As-
sessor’s Office. On a $100,000 house in Sibley County, for ex-
ample, the property taxes in Arlington are $1,246. Winthrop is
the lowest at $1,180. Gaylord is third at $1,532 followed by
Henderson at $1,758. Green Isle ($2,219), New Auburn
($2,426) and Gibbon ($2,432) round out the remaining seven
communities.
The current Arlington mayor and city council can take some
of the credit for these low taxes, but most of the accolades
should go to all of the mayors and city council members who
have served the community over the years.
The present elected officials should seize the moment to pro-
mote and market Arlington as the community with the lowest
tax per capita in Sibley County. Other cities would love to
have that opportunity.

For the rest of his life Donald
Sterling will be remembered for
racist remarks even though they
were made in private. Paula Deen
and Cliven Bundy will also be re-
membered for their racist remarks,
as will Don Imus. Imus made on air
comments in 2007 about the Rutgers
women's basketball team. Regard-
less of all the good any individual
may have done in life it only takes
one racist remark to dismantle an
entire kingdom.
I thought Joan Rivers really
sounded stupid on April 22 when
she appeared on the Today Show
and compared accommodations in
her daughter's guest room to those
the Cleveland women kidnapped by
Ariel Castro experienced when they
were held captive and raped for 10
years. She was trying to be funny
but bad stuff that happens to people
is not funny.
Sterling, Deen, and Imus have
made massive amounts of money
and did not do so out of ignorance.
Although Deen suffered financial
consequences, Sterling's wealth is in
no danger as he stands to make even
more profit selling the Los Angeles
Clippers.
We need to eliminate racism all
around. Black people should elimi-
nate the "N" word and all other ter-
minology that is offensive. There is
no excuse for it in music, comedy or
professional sports. Racism is not
just about African Americans. Slurs
made about our Hispanic, Latino
and Asian citizens are just as
painful. America is now hugely mul-
ticultural and is becoming more so
almost every day. It's no longer the
blacks and the whites.
America cannot remain the num-
ber one country in the world until
we see each other as fellow Ameri-
cans regardless of race or gender. It
will take all of us to solve our issues
including energy, clean water, jobs,
debt, defense and the endless list. If
we continue to devour and hurt each
other we will destroy ourselves from
the inside.
Only teams win games. One indi-
vidual seldom carries a team to a
championship. Regardless if it' s
football, basketball or baseball
everyone is necessary to bring about
victory. There cannot be inward
fighting, jealousy, hatred and name
calling. Such activity divides a team
and guarantees defeat.
We have to work harder in this
country to move beyond color, gen-
der and ethnicity. We must see the
bigger picture. It can no longer be
the attitude of us four and no more.
We must make our circle bigger in-
cluding all that love our country,
abide by our Constitution and
pledge allegiance to the same flag.

columnist and author.
America cannot win with racist attitudes
By Lee H. Hamilton
Many trends in American politics
and government today make me
worry about the health of our repre-
sentative democracy. These include
the decline of Congress as a power-
ful, coequal branch of government,
the accumulation of power in the
presidency, and the impact of money
on the overall political process.
Recently, the Supreme Court’s
five-member majority declared that
it’s unconstitutional to limit the ag-
gregate amount an individual can
give to candidates, political parties,
and political action committees.
Campaign contributions amplify
free speech, these justices maintain,
and campaign finance laws violate
the First Amendment: any limit on
the ability of individuals to con-
tribute to candidates is a restraint of
free speech. The only legitimate
cause for the government to step in
is to fight blatant, obvious corrup-
tion; it should not act to limit access
and influence by well-to-do donors.
The result of this decision will al-
most certainly increase the impact of
money on the political system.
The problem is, money doesn’t
have to be handed over in an enve-
lope filled with one-hundred-dollar
bills to be harmful. The Supreme
Court decision seems to be insensi-
tive to what money is doing to the
political system.
Big money is here to stay in poli-
tics. Those of us who wish it were
otherwise have lost that argument —
at least for the near term.
But we weren’t mistaken about
the impact of free-flowing campaign
cash on the system. Politicians need
large sums of money to run for of-
fice, and they spend a lot of time
raising it. They are keenly attuned to
generous donors. Inevitably, this
gives more political influence to the
relative handful of wealthy donors
(only a few thousand at best) who
choose to “invest” in politics and
often, though not invariably, get
what they want. The influence of
voters without the financial means
to command attention is diminished.
Lawmakers, of course, insist that
big donors get nothing in response
for their contributions except, per-
haps, for a little face time. I am
skeptical of that claim. Money buys
access that people without money
don’t get, and access is nothing less
than an opportunity to affect legisla-
tion. It is a rare politician who can
remain entirely uninfluenced by
large political contributions to his or
her campaign. After all, members of
Congress seek assignments to com-
mittees that are known to be useful
for fundraising, and those wealthy
individuals and interests spend large
sums on wooing and electing politi-
cians for a purpose: to get public
policy favorable to their views and
interests.
Over many years both inside and
outside Congress, I saw very little
outright corruption, but on a fre-
quent basis I could see money’s dis-
proportionate influence on the deci-
sions of government and its distor-
tion of our representative democra-
cy. With their decision the justices
may have expanded personal liberty,
but they’ve done so lopsidedly:
boosting the liberty of ordinary indi-
viduals who cannot afford to give to
political campaigns gains them
nothing in the way of political influ-
ence.
The Court’s decision further em-
powers a few rich people and disem-
powers many ordinary people. This
is not a desirable direction for our
representative government. Our sys-
tem should encourage a government
responsive to all citizens, not just a
few.
What can we do? I would prefer
that the President and Congress step
in and design rules of campaign fi-
nance that would reverse the grow-
ing influence of money on our cam-
paigns, but that does not appear like-
ly to happen. Indeed, even now op-
ponents of campaign finance laws
are preparing challenges to the re-
maining limits on individual contri-
butions and to the easily avoided
disclosure laws we already have.
I’m certain they’ll get a sympathetic
hearing in the Supreme Court.
Paradoxically, this may be our
best hope. Because I also believe
that Americans are growing tired of
the outsized impact that great wealth
enjoys in politics, and that a back-
lash to the Court’s decisions is tak-
ing shape. My sense is that growing
numbers of ordinary voters are rec-
ognizing that money is a poison in
our system. I fervently hope that
support for public financing and for
muscular disclosure laws will grow
with time, because our politics will
be more democratic, more honest,
and more free if we reduce the im-
pact of money on elections.

Death Notice
History
Vinz Karl, Arlington, is
motivated and determined to
make a positive impact on the
world. As a sophomore at the
University of Minnesota
studying agricultural educa-
tion, he is off to a good start.
From leadership positions
to internships, Karl pursues
experiences that set him apart
from his peers and prepare
him to pursue his dream of
being a voice for agriculture
in the classroom. Most re-
cently, he was selected as one
of 17 Campus Ambassadors
for Agriculture Future of
America.
AFA is a leader and profes-
sional development organiza-
tion for collegiate leaders and
young professionals. Provid-
ing leader development, in-
tern support and scholarships,
AFA seeks to be a catalyst in
the preparation of a new gen-
eration of agriculture leaders.
Karl and his fellow team
members serve as liaisons be-
tween AFA and their college
campuses and AFA’s corpo-
rate partners.
“I value my relationship
with AFA because it allows
me to utilize a close-knit
community of agricultural
leaders,” he said. “My rela-
tionship with AFA has bene-
fited my agricultural career
by allowing me to utilize my
leadership abilities I came to
AFA with and learn where to
put my intentions forward.”
Karl and the other ambas-
sadors were selected through
a competitive application
process to serve as AFA’s stu-
dent voice. Karl says he is
looking forward to his experi-
ences with the team.
“I am excited for the op-
portunity to serve AFA as a
Campus Ambassador because
it allows me to both inspire
future students involved in
AFA and give back to the or-
ganization,” he said. “Serving
as a student leader will allow
me to be an integral part of
the future of agriculture and
agricultural leadership.”
In addition to serving as a
liaison between AFA and
their respective campuses, the
Ambassadors will assist the
Student Advisory Team in de-
livering the 2014 AFA Lead-
ers Conference. Held Nov. 6-
9 in Kansas City, Mo., this
event is AFA’s core leader de-
velopment program and 600
delegates from across the na-
tion will be selected to attend.
The Ambassadors and nine
Student Advisory Team mem-
bers met April 10-12 to kick
off the planning process with
team training and theme set-
ting exercises.
“I value the AFA Leaders
Conference because it al-
lowed me to utilize my lead-
ership abilities and it gave me
direction,” Karl said. “Con-
ference helped me build my
network of both business pro-
fessionals and fellow student
leaders.”
Karl’s entrance into the
AFA leader development pro-
gram began last fall when he
was selected as an AFA Lead-
ers Conference delegate.
Since then, he has attended
the AFA Food Institute and
the AFA Policy Institute. In
addition to his involvement
with AFA, Karl has also been
active in other organizations
including FarmHouse Frater-
nity, the Horticulture Club,
Agricultural Education Club
and FFA.
About AFA
AFA’s mission is to create
partnerships that identify, en-
courage and support out-
standing college men and
women who are preparing for
careers in the agriculture and
food industry. With student
participation increasing 122
percent in the last five years,
AFA leader development pro-
grams have impacted 10,000
college leaders and young
professionals from more than
200 colleges and universities
throughout 43 states since
1997. AFA has awarded more
than $8 million in academic
and leader development
scholarships. For more infor-
mation about AFA, visit

Louis Kill, Editor
The annual meeting and elec-
tion of board members of Inde-
pendent School District No. 69,
will be held next Tuesday, May
16th, in the high school build-
ing. Only the two board mem-
bers whose terms are about to
expire, have ﬁled. They are A.
W. Luff and O. H. Meyer. If
elected they will each serve an-
other three year term.
The traditional Junior - Sen-
ior Banquet, given for the sen-
iors, by the juniors, was held on
Saturday, May 6. The theme was
that of a Red Cross canteen. It
was very colorful with red,
white and blue decorations
everywhere. The Seniors’ motto:
“Better Faithful Than Famous:
was hung on the curtains in
large lettering. It really made the
Seniors feel their coming gradu-
ation. The food prepared by the
mothers of the junior class was
excellent.
Well “dogonit,” what are we
going to do with our dogs? So
say some of our canine owners
since the village council passed
an ordinance prohibiting dogs
from running at large during the
garden season. It appeared that
certain dogs in the village did a
lot of destruction in the veg-
etable gardens and ﬂower plots,
hence the complaints by irate
citizens and the action by the
city council. Just to what extent
the ordinance will be enforced
remains to be seen. We have
both good dogs and bad dogs in
the village - some of them ought
to be taken out and shot, while
others are worthwhile pets
which stay at home and do no
harm.

Sibley East senior Brody
Rodning tossed his fourth ca-
reer high school no hitter as
the visiting Sibley East varsi-
ty boys baseball team shut
out Jordan 2-0 in Minnesota
River Conference play on
Thursday afternoon, May 1.
Rodning, as a sophomore,
tossed his first no hitter in a
10-0 win over visiting Mayer
Lutheran on April 12, 2012.
The game lasted five innings
due to the 10-run rule.
Rodning, a couple of weeks
later, threw his second no hit-
ter in 2-0 victory over visiting
Watertown-Mayer on May 1,
2012. The game was called
after five innings due to light-
ning and rain.
Rodning, as a junior, hurled
his third no hitter in a 3-0 win
over visiting Mayer Lutheran
on May 2, 2013. The game
lasted six innings because it
was part of a conference dou-
bleheader.
“Brody has been outstand-
ing with his command of the
strike zone and with his
pitches,” said Sibley East
head coach Dan Tackmann.
“Over his career he has
grown into a dominating
pitcher with his ability to
throw all his pitches for
strikes.”
The record for most no hit-
ters by a single pitcher in
Minnesota high school histo-
ry is held by Larry Edlund,
Hayfield, from 1963-66, ac-
cording to the Minnesota
State High School League.

Rodning tossed a no hitter as
the visiting Sibley East varsi-
ty boys baseball team
blanked Jordan 2-0 during the
first game of a Minnesota
River Conference twinbill on
Thursday afternoon, May 1.
The lefty, who combined
on a no hitter with junior
Lukas Bullert a couple of
weeks ago, registered 14
strikeouts. He also walked
one batter.
Junior Andrew Bullert led
Sibley East’s 12-hit attack
with three singles. Junior
Austin Brockhoff and sopho-
mores Travis Schmidt and
Logan Jorgenson collected
two singles each while junior
Zac Weber ripped a double.
Lukas Bullert and Rodning
added one single apiece.
The Wolverines, during the
second game of the twinbill,
trailed 9-2 in the top of the
fifth inning when the game
was called due to darkness. A
date to resume the game has
not been scheduled.

also struck out three, walked
one and hit one batter.

ished out the sixth inning

TM Wellness Revolution Mudder Lovers
Members of the TM Wellness Revolution Mudder
Lovers competed at a Tough Mudder event in Topeka,
Kan., on Saturday, May 3. The team completed the 11-
miles obstacle course in four hours. Left to right: Jen
Carpenter, Amanda Fisher, Jodi Michaelis, Scott Per-
schau, Randi Perschau, Neil Vos and Jen Vos. Out of
the seven team members, three are three-time mud-
ders while three are two-time mudders. One team
member completed the course for the first time. In
July, the TM Wellness Revolution team, will head to
Hudson, Wis., with approximately 25 local partici-
pants to complete that course. The Tough Mudder
Challenges are designed to test all-around strength,
mental grit, stamina, and camaraderie. Tough Mudder
is not a race but a challenge. Events are not timed,
because the goal for each participant is to help your
team members and others on the course in any way
you can.
