Board votes 4-1 and tables request to add Gaylord sign
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley East School
Board, during its regular
monthly meeting in Arlington
on Monday night, July 18,
voted 4-1 and approved a motion to table a request from
Gaylord Downtown Association President Avery Gro-
chow to add a Gaylord sign
on the northern border of the
Gaylord practice field.
School Board members
Brian Brandt, Laura Reid,
Dan Woehler and Sarah
Ziegler all voted in favor of
the motion.
School Board member
Nathan Kranz voted against
the motion.
School Board member
Missy Weber had a prior
commitment and was unable
to attend the meeting.
Grochow would like to install a Gaylord sign on the
north end of the City of Gaylord because there are signs
on the other three sides of the
city, but not the north side.
Grochow requested to install
a sign this fall about 100 feet
south of the existing Sibley
East sign.
School Board member
Laura Reid questioned if
there would be lights on this
sign and would they be digging trenches for electricity.
School District Attorney
Tony Nerud questioned who
would maintain the sign and
what happens if a storm damages the sign? Nerud also
brought up the question of liability.
The School Board tabled
the request and would like information from Grochow on
lighting, maintenance and liability.
The School Board plans to
revisit this request at its regular monthly meeting on Monday night, Aug. 15.
Shared county EDA position is
topic of discussion at meeting
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, July 18,
discussed a possible shared
Economic Development Authority (EDA) position with
Sibley County.
Sibley County Administrator Roxy Traxler developed
the following criteria as a
starting point:
• Cities would contract for
a set amount of hours to be
dedicated to the individual
city, either as a full economic
development or project basis
for small cities.
• The office hours could be
designed in each contracted
cities as well as attendance at
EDA meetings and City
Council meeting per each city
contract.
• Information for or about
individual city contracts
would remain confidential.
• The county administrator
would still act as the executive director economic development and oversee/guide/supervise this position. Ongoing staff meetings would
occur to stay up to date on
projects and goals. The county administrator would attend
at least one EDA/City Council meeting per year for those
contracted cities and address
any concerns or issues related
to the work of staff on an ongoing basis.
• The staff person would
have a better understanding
of the county as a whole,
know how businesses within
cities could help each other
and how the county and cities
could help them.
• This person would also
work with businesses, chamber of commerces and other
organizations on a countywide basis to help businesses
to better promote themselves
and help promote the county
as a whole.
• Depending on need, there
could be more than one position or a combination of staff
time in addition to the main
contact person.
• Programs like Digital
Town, computer classes and
business training could be
better coordinated and
shared.
Members of the City Council cited the trust factor as
their main concern. They said
the individual could live in
another town and favor that
community.
The City Council also
raised budget concerns since
there were no cost estimates
included in the proposal for
the paid position.
Traxler is seeking input
from all of the Sibley County
communities on the possible
shared EDA position.

Construction of elementary school
is about 4 weeks behind schedule
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Sibley East Superintendent
Jim Amsden reported that the
Gaylord site is about four
weeks behind schedule with a
contingency of $527,909.89.
Amsden made the statement during the regular
monthly meeting of the Sibley East School Board in Arlington on Monday night,
July 18.
Amsden stated that the Arlington site is progressing
nicely, and a good deal of the
interior work is done. He
said that everything is “looking good for the start of the
school year.” The Arlington
site has a contingency of
$379,315.27, but they are
continuing to look at value
engineering.
The School Board plans to
tour both sites before the next
School Board meeting on
Monday night, Aug. 15.
2nd Semester
Conferences
The School Board voted to
amend the 2016-2017 school
calendar to add second-semester parent-teacher conferences.
The School Board discussed whether it would be
worth having parent-teacher
conferences during the second semester and if enough
parents would come. With
the increased use of the parent portal and email, most
parents can track their student’s grades and instantly
communicate with their
child’s teachers. The School
Board questioned if the conferences were necessary.
School Board Chair Brian
Brandt felt that face-to-face
interaction was still important
and Elementary Principal
Mari Lu Martens agreed.
The School Board voted to
hold second-semester conferences from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Thursday, Feb. 16 and from 8
a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday, Feb.
17.
Handbook
The School Board voted 41 to approve the Sibley East
Schools Project Ed. 21 Handbook. The handbook is a pro-
cedure and information guide
on the 1:1 iPad initiative.
The handbook outlines care
of the iPad, use at school,
managing files and saving
work, software, acceptable
use, protecting and storing
the iPad, loss or damage, cost
of repairs, technology fee,
and the student pledge to take
care of their iPad.
School Board members
Brian Brandt, Laura Reid,
Dan Woehler and Sarah
Ziegler all voted in favor of
the motion.
School Board member
Kranz voted against approving the handbook. He stating
that he has a problem with
the word pledge.
School Board member
Missy Weber had a prior
commitment and was unable
to attend the meeting.
The School Board also
voted 5-0 to approved the
2016-2017 Activity Handbook.
The activity handbook was
aligned to the academic policy and the senior high handbook.
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, at its regular meeting on
Monday night, July 18, unanimously approved a motion to
accept the low bid of $26,475
from Midwest Tree Experts
MN, Inc, for provide tree
trimming services under and
around electrical lines in the
entire community.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland, James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the motion.
City Administrator Liza
Donabauer explained that the
issue was not a budgeted
item, but a necessary action.
She added that the electric
fund has a healthy balance to
cover this expenditure.
Maintenance Supervisor
Tony Voigt said the move
should “buy” the city about
four or five years before the
next tree trimming about and
around electrical lines.
Voigt suggested that the
City Council budget money
every year and divide the
town into four parts in the future. The tree trimming services could then be conducted
in one-fourth of the town
every year.
Repairs
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to
accept the low bid of $17,000
from Litzau Excavating to repair storm sewer catch basins
in the amount of $17,000.
Voigt has determined that
about 30 storm sewer catch
basins are in need of repair.
The bid includes repairs at six
locations. Voigt would like
the City Council to come up
with a schedule to repair remaining storm sewer catch
basins in the future.
He added the City Council
budgets $10,000 for storm
sewer catch basin repairs
every year.
Air Unit
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to
authorize the replacement of
a make up air unit at the local
wastewater treatment plant.
The current air unit was installed in 2009 and has been
problematic.
The new make up air unit
will be purchased from AEM
Mechanical for a cost of
$18,152.47.
Donabauer again explained
that the issue was not a budgeted item, but a necessary
action. The money for this
purchase will be taken from
the A-GI Sewer Fund.
Other Business
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to
approve pay estimate number
seven to William Mueller &
Sons, Hamburg, for the 2015
Street & Utility Project. This
pay estimate was for
$65,636.84.
This brings the project to a
91 percent billing completion, according to Donabauer.
In other action, the City
Council held the first reading
of Ordinance 308 entitled
Opting Out of the Requirements of Minnesota Statutes
Section 462.3593 Relating To
Temporary Family Health
Care Dwellings.
In other news, the City
Council unanimously adopted
a resolution to approve a conditional use permit and acknowledging extension of an
existing not conforming setback to allow a 728 SF detached garage for Tom
Whalen at 302 East Main
Street.
Discussion on guidelines for transgender
students is held at School Board meeting
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Sibley East School District
Attorney Tony Nerud led the
discussion on guidelines for
transgender students at the
School Board meeting on
Monday night, July 18.
Nerud stated that there are
various policies provided
from the Minnesota School
Board and the National
School Board that provide a
“basis on how to handle unfair or unequal treatment of
any student.” Nerud felt that
right now districts should not
be creating any more policies
and didn’t know “why this
issue was being brought up.”
School Board member
Nathan Kranz asked if it was
ruled on in the courts would
they have to do something at
that time.
Nerud stated yes, but “why
try to find a solution to a
problem you don’t have.”
Nerud felt that the best thing
to do when there is a problem
is talk to the kids and parents
first.
Agenda Policy
Kranz requested to add
agenda items to that night’s
School Board meeting agenda.
Kranz was reminded by
School Board Chair Brian
Brandt and Nerud that the
school has a policy requiring

Pheasants Forever awarded 3 NAWCA grants in Sibley County
Pheasants Forever was involved in all but one of 10
North America Wetlands
Conservation Act small
grants that were awarded for
conservation work in Minnesota, according to an article
in the Outdoor News newspaper.
The grants, each for
$75,000, leverage matching
dollars, much of which came
from the state’s Outdoor Heritage Fund, for the purpose of
enhancing, restoring, and acquiring important lands for
wildlife habitat.
The small grants involve
3,447 acres of land, most of
which is in Minnesota’s portion of the Prairie Pothole Region. A pair of the projects
also fall inside what the federal program classifies as the
Upper Mississippi River-
Great Lakes area.
No other state received as
many of the 52 small grants
that were awarded nationwide, said Rodecia Mcknight,
NAWCA’a small grants coordinator.
Eran Sandquist, Minnesota
Pheasant Forever’s state coordinator, said the state’s Outdoor Heritage Fund, established by voters in 2008,
when the Clean Water, Land
and Legacy Amendment was
passed, has seemingly led to
more off these small grants
being awarded to Minnesota.
“We are very thankful that
NAWCA sees what we are
doing here in the state,”
Sandquist said. “It’s easy to
take for granted, but we
don’t. We are blessed to have
the partnerships and the dollars to do the work that we

ACT on Alzheimer’s committee members will begin
surveying businesses, caregivers and community members this week as part of Arlington’s
ACT
on
Alzheimer’s grant.
ACT members are conducting interviews to determine
how Arlington can become a
dementia friendly community. Arlington applied for the
ACT grant with goals of
keeping seniors in the community and allowing them to
keep doing everyday tasks
such as banking and dining
out.
ACT committee members
will take the next several
months to conduct interviews, then the ACT coordinator will enter the data into
the ACT database and the
community will be able to determine the next steps to take
to make the community dementia friendly. These steps
could include things like resource pamphlets, support
groups, or dementia friendly
business training.
Everyone in the community is welcome to attend the
regular ACT on Alzheimer’s
meetings. The next meeting
will be held at the Arlington
Community Center at 5:30

Opinions
Sibley East School Board
received misleading
information on diplomas
Our View: Area schools handed out
signed diplomas on graduation day this year
Misleading or incomplete information that is presented can
often times become fact when it goes unchallenged. That is
what has happened with the diploma issue at the Sibley East
Senior High School in Arlington.
After last year’s commencement exercises, Sibley East contacted schools and asked for their advice on the issue of signed
diplomas on graduation day. In an e-mail to the School Board,
Senior High Principal Tim Schellhammer stated that the vast
majority of received responses said Sibley East’s “approach to
populating graduation sleeves, with signed diplomas, in alphabetical order, within one week of classes being done, within
less than one week of grades being finalized, and with less
than one week to verify transcript credits ... was foolish,
stressful, and made time leading up to the ceremony way too
high stakes.” Several school districts even responded that it
“did not know any high schools still tried to pull that off.” The
responses, according to the e-mail, “came from schools smaller than Nicollet, larger than Minnetonka, and everywhere in
between.”
The Arlington Enterprise, in a few hours last week, contacted graduating seniors/school officials in the area and asked
whether or not those high schools presented signed diplomas
on graduation day this year. The responses received by this
newspaper were in sharp contract to the information presented
by Schellhammer in his e-mail to the School Board.
G-F-W, Glencoe-Silver Lake, Norwood Young America,
Belle Plaine, Le Sueur-Henderson and St. Peter all handed out
signed diplomas on graduation day this year.
The most important point in having a healthy discussion or
debate on any issue is having the most accurate and complete
information possible. That does not appear to be the case in the
current discussion and debate over diplomas at Sibley East.
It does not take a genius to figure out that the reason Sibley
East did not hand out signed diplomas at this year’s commencement exercises is because one graduate did not receive a
signed diploma on stage at last year’s program. To avoid another embarrassing moment, Schellhammer decided to change
the format for this year’s commencement exercises.
Like most issues, there often can be a solution to a problem
if there is healthy discussion. One area high school handed out
graduation folders to all seniors on stage this year. Once a student exited the stage, the graduating senior received a class
flower and his/her official diploma. That would be a good
compromise for Sibley East to consider at next year’s graduation program. It would eliminate any chance for an embarrassing moment on the stage and graduating seniors could leave
the school with their diploma. Students would have a diploma
to display at their graduation party and would not have to return to school and pick it up a week after graduation.

Feeling edgy, a man took a hot
bath. Just as he’d become comfortable, the front doorbell rang. The
man got out of the tub, put on terry
cloth slippers and a large towel,
wrapped his head in a smaller towel,
and went to the door. A salesman at
the door wanted to know if he needed any magazines. Slamming the
door, the man returned to the bath.
The doorbell rang again. On went
the slippers and towels, and the man
started for the door again. He took
one step, slipped on a wet spot, fell,
and hit his back against the hard
porcelain of the tub.
Cursing under his breath, the man
struggled into his street clothes and,
with every move a stab of pain,
drove to the doctor.
After examining him, the doctor
said, “You know, you’ve been
lucky. Nothing is broken. But you
need to relax. Why don’t you go
home and take a long hot bath?”

Letters To The Editor
Glenn Gruenhagen missed the point
To The Editor,
Glenn Gruenhagen missed the
point of my response to his initial
letter to the editor. (Glenn, I’m not
comparing you to a terrorist). But he
proves the point. Representative
Gruenhagen’s consistent words and
actions as a public leader contribute
to continued prejudice in our society. And such a public stance deserves a public response. If he can
stand the cameras on him when he’s
chasing after his personal causes, I
think he can handle a local editorial
or two.
Glenn shows his hand when he
maintains the falsehood that being
“homosexual” is something that can
and should be treated. In 1973, the
American Psychiatric Association
removed their classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. As
a survivor of “Christian” anti-gay
treatment programs, I can speak directly to the psychological and spiritual harm caused by the so-called
therapy Glenn endorses. There is a
reason that states across the nation
continue to outlaw such hack therapy. There is a reason that Exodus International, the largest ex-gay ministry in the world - the one that I,
myself, participated in - shut down
in 2013 after issuing a public apology to all the innocent people it hurt.
Having lived that nightmare, I continue to pray for those who are
trapped in the mindset that their orientation is wrong and should be
“cured.” There is no lifestyle to
leave. There is only an identity to be
loved. Thanks be to God!
You say you have LGBTQ
friends...good. I hope I can be
counted among them someday. You
say I’m taking advantage of a national tragedy. No...for me it was a
personal tragedy and I do not want it
minimized or whitewashed for political affect. You say I’m not being
tolerant. The fact is...I’ve had to tolerate prejudice my whole life. And,
unfortunately, we were shown in Orlando that prejudice kills more than
human dignity...it can actually kill
humans.
I, too, welcome the opportunity to
visit with Glenn. In fact, I would
love to have a public conversation
that goes beyond dueling letters to
the editor. You have my contact information, Glenn. Let’s talk.

Commissioners responsible for courthouse repairs
To The Editor,
At the Sibley County Board meeting of July 12, commissioners had a
lengthy discussion regarding the
condition of the Sibley County
courthouse, enumerating the many
issues that are affecting the structural and operational well-being of this
historical landmark. I publicly expressed my concern about this issue
in a letter to the editor a few weeks
ago. The commissioner’s July 12
discussion confirmed what I stated
in that letter, “…the Sibley County
Courthouse is in desperate need of
repair.”
Commissioners expressed concern
at the condition and the cost of ad-
dressing needed repairs, to which
County Administrator Traxler stated,
“That’s what happens when you
have a 100 year old building.” No,
that is not what happens when you
have a 100 year old building.
• That is what happens when you
have a 100 year old historical landmark that has not been properly
maintained over a very long period
of time.
• That is what happens when you
have a 100 year old historical landmark and no one has taken responsibility for developing a proper maintenance/repair plan to preserve the
structure.
• That is what happens when you
have a 100 year old historical landmark and there is no accountability
for how decisions were made or not
made about the preservation of this
building.
The responsibility and accountability for the condition of the Sibley
County Courthouse is first and foremost that of the Sibley County
Commissioners. It has been under
their watch that this building has
fallen into disrepair and that the Sibley County taxpayers will be required to bear the burden for the
high cost of preserving part of Sibley County’s legacy.

Gaylord
Bob Rezner misses the point of the letter
To The Editor,
In response to Mr. Rezner’s letter
last week, I want to clarify that I
never attached a headline to my letter when I submitted it to the paper.
The Enterprise headline regarding
Kranz needing to be a team player
was done by the paper editor. The
first I knew of that headline was
when I read the paper. I feel as
though Mr. Rezner missed my point
of the letter with that headline and I
do not feel I did any “name calling”
as he states.
I was making the residents aware
that Mr. Kranz’s letter was portraying incorrect information to residents. I was not intending to defend
Principal Shellhammer. I was simply
stating the facts of the information
that board members were provided.
Actually Mr. Rezner, I am a lifelong
district resident. I have had kids in
the Sibley East district for over 20
years, and I am a taxpayer (whose
taxes have gone up significantly in 2
years). Our last child just graduated
which means I have a senior who

entire slide show on graduation day,
and I did not 100 percent agree with
the changes that were made this
year. I did have a better understanding of why the decisions were made
after I took that responsibility as a
parent to speak to those who made
those decisions.
I have no problem with Mr. Kranz
feeling situations need board discussion. The problem I have is how he
presents his requests. There is a policy on how to handle complaints and
also how board members are to get
an item for discussion on the board
agenda.
I encourage district residents to
communicate to administration any
concerns or questions you have. If
you have concerns about the poor
bus inspection report, then ask to
meet with Superintendent Amsden
and see the reports & the action for
correction as I did. There was never

Noack’s big Wilcox truck
made several trips to Green Isle
during the week hauling loads of
produce from Green Isle to the
packing plant in Arlington. The
motor is a big one and can stow
away an amazing pile of crates
and cases, making the runs between the two towns with very
little fuss.
The Glencoe Brewing Co. suffered the loss of two of its delivery horses here last Saturday
due to the intense heat. One of
the animals dropped on upper
Main Street at about noon and
died a few hours after. The other
succumbed in the evening while
driving back to Glencoe.
The hot weather of the past
two weeks melted every press

Highway 14 detour to begin Monday, July 25
Weather permitting, Highway 14 motorists from Nicollet to North Mankato are advised to prepare for a threemonth detour beginning
Monday, July 25 to build the
connections between existing
Highway 14 and the new
alignment to the south of
Nicollet.
The Highway 14 detour
consists of Nicollet County
Roads 25 and 23. Motorists
can expect added stops at
county road intersections. As
with any changes in routes
and travel conditions, motorists are advised to use
added caution, slow down
and put down the phone.
Highway 68 is an alternate
route.
Highway 111/County
Road 23 (south of the new interchange) will be detoured to
County Roads 25, 17 and
Highway 99.
The duration of the Highway 14 detour has been increased from two months to
three months to assist construction that has been
slowed by numerous rains.
This is the second year of
construction on the expansion
project. This year work includes installing granular and
aggregate bases then concrete
paving, striping, signing, and
erosion control. The bridge
for the new interchange was
completed ahead of schedule,
but rain after rain has slowed
the earthwork by several
weeks.
The project, which includes
building 6.5 miles of two additional lanes north of existing Highway 14 and a 2.5
mile four-lane southern bypass of Nicollet with an interchange for Highway 111/CR
23 is scheduled to be complete by November. Mathiowetz Construction Company of Sleepy Eye is the contractor on the $32 million
Corridors of Commerce project.
A detour map and information about Highway 14 can be
found at www.dot.state.mn.us/d7/projects/14newulmtonmankato/ as well a way to

project progresses.

the possible sexual assault by
a concerned adult. The adult
told deputies that the girl may
have been sexually assaulted
by a registered sex offender
while traveling to Iowa with a
relative, later identified as
Mitteness. The sheriff’s office did not disclose the identity of the concerned adult, or
the adult’s relationship to either the victim or Mitteness.
Deputies served a search
warrant at Mitteness’ Mayer
residence on Friday, July 8.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies recovered electronics, documents and
books. As part of the investigation, deputies reviewed
what authorities described as
“explicit” messaging between
Mitteness and a male sex offender in Iowa, later identified as Michael Williams, 50,
of Runnells, Iowa. Williams
was arrested by authorities in
Polk County, Iowa, on Friday,
July 8, on charges of felony
human trafficking and sexual
exploitation of a minor.
Mitteness is being held at

The visiting Arlington A’s
Grant program aims to help
increase number of hunters
and anglers in Minnesota
A dozen organizations are
receiving funding to help increase how many people hunt
or fish – or support those who
already do – through a new
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources grant program.
“We’re excited about how
these organizations plan to
support fishing and hunting in
Minnesota,” said Jeff Ledermann, DNR angler recruitment and retention supervisor.
“What these groups shared
was a commitment to getting
people outdoors for these pursuits.”
The Angler and Hunter Recruitment and Retention
Grant Program began this
year and award winners are
posted on the grants webpage.
The program was very competitive with 35 applicants in
round one.
The application for round
two of the grant program can
be found at the same webpage. Organizations interested
in applying for the grant program are invited to apply by
Thursday, Oct. 13.
“We are preparing for a
second round of this program
and organizations can apply
for funding,” Ledermann
said. “We give priority to programs that are new and innovative and have an ongoing
impact, rather than one-time
events.”
Grant awards range from
$5,000 to $50,000, and require a dollar-for-dollar
match of the state grant award
amount, or else a match of the
value of labor, materials or
services of the state award.
The DNR expects to have
over $100,000 to distribute in
round two.
Eligible projects have a
purpose that supports angler
or hunter recruitment and retention. Types of activities
could include fishing and
hunting educational programs, clinics, workshops and
camps, and funding for fishing and hunting equipment
and transportation. Secondround projects must be completed in Minnesota and be
finished by June 30, 2018.

Youth can hunt with adult mentors
Youth can apply to hunt
deer in select state parks and
other refuge areas during 17
special deer hunts in October
and November.
Youth have until Friday,
Aug. 19, to apply for the
hunts. Of the 17 special hunts,
15 are firearms hunts for
youth ages 12 to 15, and two
are archery hunts for youth
ages 12 to 17.
Participation in other deer
hunting seasons remains an
option for youth who take part
in the special youth deer
hunts, but any deer harvested
count against the youth’s season bag limit. An adult parent,
guardian or mentor must accompany the youth at all
times while hunting, but only
the youth may hunt. Both
youth and mentor must attend
a mandatory pre-hunt orientation clinic.
A limited number of eithersex permits are available for
each hunt. However, the hunt
in Buffalo River State Park
and Camden State Park are
for antlerless deer, and in the
Lake Shetek State Park hunt
youth need to harvest an
antlerless deer before getting
a permit to harvest a buck.
Youth must apply for the
hunt of his or her choice,
which can be done anywhere
DNR licenses are sold, at the
DNR License Center, 500
Lafayette Road, St. Paul, or
online at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense. For archery
hunts, apply with code 630;
for firearms hunts, apply with
code 631.
If the number of applications exceeds the number of
permits, the DNR will randomly draw names to choose
participants. Youth may apply
for one archery hunt and one
firearms hunt. Successful applicants also must meet all
firearms safety requirements,
purchase appropriate licenses
and follow hunting regulations.

Aly Dieball recently represented Minnesota in the recent National Junior Holstein Convention.
Aly Dieball represents MN in recent
National Junior Holstein Convention
For most 13-year-olds, representing the state of Minnesota at a convention in
New York would seem like
an overwhelming responsibility.
But for Aly Dieball of
Green Isle, it was just another
week in the life.
Aly, daughter of Jim and
Wendy Dieball, Green Isle,
traveled to Saratoga Springs,
New York, with her family
for the National Junior Holstein Convention. She participated in the national public
speaking competition for the
third year in a row.
Aly’s road to Saratoga
Springs began in March when
she represented Sibley County in the Minnesota Holstein
Association’s statewide
speech competition in Willmar. The winner of the competition would represent Minnesota in New York. Aly’s
speech on rBST shots given
to dairy cows was good
enough for first place and a
ticket to Saratoga Springs.
In 2014, Aly won the competition and headed to
Dubuque, Iowa, for the national competition. Last year,
Aly won again and presented
her speech at nationals in Illinois. And this year, Aly’s
speech landed her in the Empire State.
For the third year in a row,
Dieball, from a town of about
300 people, would represent
her whole state on a national
level.
Aly performed her speech
in front of a panel of judges
in New York. She was scored
on content, presentation,
knowledge of the subject and
her responses to questions at
the end of the speech.
Growing up on a farm with
over 130 cows, Aly has always been interested in topics
of dairy. She chose to speak
about rBST shots out of pure
curiosity.
“I heard about the shot
quite a bit and didn’t know
what it was at first, so I
thought I would educate myself,” Dieball said.
Although the Dieball farm
doesn’t use rBST shots, Aly’s
speech convinced judges otherwise. They noted her great
depth of knowledge on the
topic.
At the family farm, Aly
feeds calves, helps with fieldwork, picks up bales, and assists with milking, among
other tasks.
“She works hard,” Wendy
Dieball said. “You always
want the best for your kids,
but when they work hard at
something and do their best,
it makes you happier than
anything.”
The trip to New York was
Aly’s first time on a plane.
While in Saratoga Springs,
located about three hours
north of New York City, the
Dieball family visited a horse
track, toured six different
farms, took a bus tour of the
city, and attended an auction
where a cow was sold for
$115,000.
Aly will be an eighth grader at the Sibley East Junior
High School in the fall. At
school, she participates in
tennis, track, band and student guides. She is a constant
member of the “A” Honor
Roll in school and has danced
for 12 years. Aly also is active with the Minnesota Holstein Association and has
been involved with 4H since
kindergarten, where she currently serves as treasurer.
In the future, Aly would
like to attend the University
of Minnesota and become a
veterinarian. The talented and
incredibly busy 13-year-old
keeps herself going by following her motto:
“Try your hardest in everything you do so you know
you did your best.”
For the past three years,
Aly has followed the wise
words of her own and succeeded. She plans on participating in the speech competition as long as she can. Aly
will attempt to make it four
straight first-place finishes in
state and four-straight trips to
the National Junior Holstein
Convention.
She is the granddaughter of
Harlan and Barb Krueger, Arlington, and Karl and Rosemary Dieball, Green Isle.

United Youth Missions was hands and
feet of Jesus in Benton Harbor, Mich.
United Youth Missions had
the opportunity to be the
hands and feet of Jesus in
Benton Harbor, Mich., from
Sunday, July 3 through
Thursday, July 7.
In Benton Harbor, some of
the random acts of kindness
that the group was blessed
doing were helping under
privileged children at the
Lighthouse Ministries and
Boys and Girls Club, picking
invasive species in the Dunes
of Michigan (over 1,000
pounds it was reported), helping in the community at
churches and several gardens,
painting and repairing things
in community members’
homes, and so much more.
The community was so appreciative of everything.
They blessed the group more
by their hard work, determination to restore their com-
munity, their love for others
and by allowing the group to
help in some small way.
United Youth Missions is a
group of students in grades 912 of all denominations and
from many communities
going out to be the hands and
feet of Jesus serving less fortunate communities in the
United States. Youthworks is
the organization that the
group goes through. Students
in this age group who would
like more information on the
next mission trip or would
like to register should e-mail
Sharon
Marshall
at
samarsh@frontier.com.
The next trip is set for the
Blackfeet Indian Reservation
near Glacier National Park in
Montana from June 16
through June 23, 2017. The
deadline for registration is
Monday, Aug. 1.
The Winthrop Evangelical
Covenant Church is saying
goodbye to their pastor of
nine years.
Pastor Kyle Kachelmeier
has accepted a Pastoral Call
from the Journey Church in
Wichita, Kansas, and has resigned his position with
WECC effective at the end of
July.
The congregation is understandably sorrowful about the
loss of Pastor Kyle, but wishes him and his family blessings as they move to their
new church, and trust that he
is following God’s leading.
Church Chair Dan Messerli
noted “I greatly appreciate
the friendship and pastoral
leadership Pastor Kyle and
his family have given the
church.”
The church family is confi-
dent that God will be with the
them through this time of
transition, and many in the
congregation have expressed
the benefit of working without a pastor for a short time,
when the church can be challenged and grow together.
WECC will be hosting a
farewell party at 6 p.m. Friday, July 22. Pictures and
memories will be shared over
a good meal. Anyone who
wishes to say their goodbyes
is welcome to attend.
Those who desire to help
with the meal can bring a
dish to share.
Winthrop Evangelical
Covenant Church is located
at 107 W 3rd Street in
Winthrop. For more information, call the church office at

Board votes 4-1 and tables request to add Gaylord sign
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley East School
Board, during its regular
monthly meeting in Arlington
on Monday night, July 18,
voted 4-1 and approved a motion to table a request from
Gaylord Downtown Association President Avery Gro-
chow to add a Gaylord sign
on the northern border of the
Gaylord practice field.
School Board members
Brian Brandt, Laura Reid,
Dan Woehler and Sarah
Ziegler all voted in favor of
the motion.
School Board member
Nathan Kranz voted against
the motion.
School Board member
Missy Weber had a prior
commitment and was unable
to attend the meeting.
Grochow would like to install a Gaylord sign on the
north end of the City of Gaylord because there are signs
on the other three sides of the
city, but not the north side.
Grochow requested to install
a sign this fall about 100 feet
south of the existing Sibley
East sign.
School Board member
Laura Reid questioned if
there would be lights on this
sign and would they be digging trenches for electricity.
School District Attorney
Tony Nerud questioned who
would maintain the sign and
what happens if a storm damages the sign? Nerud also
brought up the question of liability.
The School Board tabled
the request and would like information from Grochow on
lighting, maintenance and liability.
The School Board plans to
revisit this request at its regular monthly meeting on Monday night, Aug. 15.
Shared county EDA position is
topic of discussion at meeting
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, July 18,
discussed a possible shared
Economic Development Authority (EDA) position with
Sibley County.
Sibley County Administrator Roxy Traxler developed
the following criteria as a
starting point:
• Cities would contract for
a set amount of hours to be
dedicated to the individual
city, either as a full economic
development or project basis
for small cities.
• The office hours could be
designed in each contracted
cities as well as attendance at
EDA meetings and City
Council meeting per each city
contract.
• Information for or about
individual city contracts
would remain confidential.
• The county administrator
would still act as the executive director economic development and oversee/guide/supervise this position. Ongoing staff meetings would
occur to stay up to date on
projects and goals. The county administrator would attend
at least one EDA/City Council meeting per year for those
contracted cities and address
any concerns or issues related
to the work of staff on an ongoing basis.
• The staff person would
have a better understanding
of the county as a whole,
know how businesses within
cities could help each other
and how the county and cities
could help them.
• This person would also
work with businesses, chamber of commerces and other
organizations on a countywide basis to help businesses
to better promote themselves
and help promote the county
as a whole.
• Depending on need, there
could be more than one position or a combination of staff
time in addition to the main
contact person.
• Programs like Digital
Town, computer classes and
business training could be
better coordinated and
shared.
Members of the City Council cited the trust factor as
their main concern. They said
the individual could live in
another town and favor that
community.
The City Council also
raised budget concerns since
there were no cost estimates
included in the proposal for
the paid position.
Traxler is seeking input
from all of the Sibley County
communities on the possible
shared EDA position.

Construction of elementary school
is about 4 weeks behind schedule
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Sibley East Superintendent
Jim Amsden reported that the
Gaylord site is about four
weeks behind schedule with a
contingency of $527,909.89.
Amsden made the statement during the regular
monthly meeting of the Sibley East School Board in Arlington on Monday night,
July 18.
Amsden stated that the Arlington site is progressing
nicely, and a good deal of the
interior work is done. He
said that everything is “looking good for the start of the
school year.” The Arlington
site has a contingency of
$379,315.27, but they are
continuing to look at value
engineering.
The School Board plans to
tour both sites before the next
School Board meeting on
Monday night, Aug. 15.
2nd Semester
Conferences
The School Board voted to
amend the 2016-2017 school
calendar to add second-semester parent-teacher conferences.
The School Board discussed whether it would be
worth having parent-teacher
conferences during the second semester and if enough
parents would come. With
the increased use of the parent portal and email, most
parents can track their student’s grades and instantly
communicate with their
child’s teachers. The School
Board questioned if the conferences were necessary.
School Board Chair Brian
Brandt felt that face-to-face
interaction was still important
and Elementary Principal
Mari Lu Martens agreed.
The School Board voted to
hold second-semester conferences from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Thursday, Feb. 16 and from 8
a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday, Feb.
17.
Handbook
The School Board voted 41 to approve the Sibley East
Schools Project Ed. 21 Handbook. The handbook is a pro-
cedure and information guide
on the 1:1 iPad initiative.
The handbook outlines care
of the iPad, use at school,
managing files and saving
work, software, acceptable
use, protecting and storing
the iPad, loss or damage, cost
of repairs, technology fee,
and the student pledge to take
care of their iPad.
School Board members
Brian Brandt, Laura Reid,
Dan Woehler and Sarah
Ziegler all voted in favor of
the motion.
School Board member
Kranz voted against approving the handbook. He stating
that he has a problem with
the word pledge.
School Board member
Missy Weber had a prior
commitment and was unable
to attend the meeting.
The School Board also
voted 5-0 to approved the
2016-2017 Activity Handbook.
The activity handbook was
aligned to the academic policy and the senior high handbook.
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, at its regular meeting on
Monday night, July 18, unanimously approved a motion to
accept the low bid of $26,475
from Midwest Tree Experts
MN, Inc, for provide tree
trimming services under and
around electrical lines in the
entire community.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland, James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the motion.
City Administrator Liza
Donabauer explained that the
issue was not a budgeted
item, but a necessary action.
She added that the electric
fund has a healthy balance to
cover this expenditure.
Maintenance Supervisor
Tony Voigt said the move
should “buy” the city about
four or five years before the
next tree trimming about and
around electrical lines.
Voigt suggested that the
City Council budget money
every year and divide the
town into four parts in the future. The tree trimming services could then be conducted
in one-fourth of the town
every year.
Repairs
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to
accept the low bid of $17,000
from Litzau Excavating to repair storm sewer catch basins
in the amount of $17,000.
Voigt has determined that
about 30 storm sewer catch
basins are in need of repair.
The bid includes repairs at six
locations. Voigt would like
the City Council to come up
with a schedule to repair remaining storm sewer catch
basins in the future.
He added the City Council
budgets $10,000 for storm
sewer catch basin repairs
every year.
Air Unit
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to
authorize the replacement of
a make up air unit at the local
wastewater treatment plant.
The current air unit was installed in 2009 and has been
problematic.
The new make up air unit
will be purchased from AEM
Mechanical for a cost of
$18,152.47.
Donabauer again explained
that the issue was not a budgeted item, but a necessary
action. The money for this
purchase will be taken from
the A-GI Sewer Fund.
Other Business
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to
approve pay estimate number
seven to William Mueller &
Sons, Hamburg, for the 2015
Street & Utility Project. This
pay estimate was for
$65,636.84.
This brings the project to a
91 percent billing completion, according to Donabauer.
In other action, the City
Council held the first reading
of Ordinance 308 entitled
Opting Out of the Requirements of Minnesota Statutes
Section 462.3593 Relating To
Temporary Family Health
Care Dwellings.
In other news, the City
Council unanimously adopted
a resolution to approve a conditional use permit and acknowledging extension of an
existing not conforming setback to allow a 728 SF detached garage for Tom
Whalen at 302 East Main
Street.
Discussion on guidelines for transgender
students is held at School Board meeting
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Sibley East School District
Attorney Tony Nerud led the
discussion on guidelines for
transgender students at the
School Board meeting on
Monday night, July 18.
Nerud stated that there are
various policies provided
from the Minnesota School
Board and the National
School Board that provide a
“basis on how to handle unfair or unequal treatment of
any student.” Nerud felt that
right now districts should not
be creating any more policies
and didn’t know “why this
issue was being brought up.”
School Board member
Nathan Kranz asked if it was
ruled on in the courts would
they have to do something at
that time.
Nerud stated yes, but “why
try to find a solution to a
problem you don’t have.”
Nerud felt that the best thing
to do when there is a problem
is talk to the kids and parents
first.
Agenda Policy
Kranz requested to add
agenda items to that night’s
School Board meeting agenda.
Kranz was reminded by
School Board Chair Brian
Brandt and Nerud that the
school has a policy requiring

Pheasants Forever awarded 3 NAWCA grants in Sibley County
Pheasants Forever was involved in all but one of 10
North America Wetlands
Conservation Act small
grants that were awarded for
conservation work in Minnesota, according to an article
in the Outdoor News newspaper.
The grants, each for
$75,000, leverage matching
dollars, much of which came
from the state’s Outdoor Heritage Fund, for the purpose of
enhancing, restoring, and acquiring important lands for
wildlife habitat.
The small grants involve
3,447 acres of land, most of
which is in Minnesota’s portion of the Prairie Pothole Region. A pair of the projects
also fall inside what the federal program classifies as the
Upper Mississippi River-
Great Lakes area.
No other state received as
many of the 52 small grants
that were awarded nationwide, said Rodecia Mcknight,
NAWCA’a small grants coordinator.
Eran Sandquist, Minnesota
Pheasant Forever’s state coordinator, said the state’s Outdoor Heritage Fund, established by voters in 2008,
when the Clean Water, Land
and Legacy Amendment was
passed, has seemingly led to
more off these small grants
being awarded to Minnesota.
“We are very thankful that
NAWCA sees what we are
doing here in the state,”
Sandquist said. “It’s easy to
take for granted, but we
don’t. We are blessed to have
the partnerships and the dollars to do the work that we

MnDOT places ground-in,
wet-reflective pavement
markings along highway centerlines and edge lines as a
safety and cost-saving measure. The lifespan of the markings are extended due to reduced damage from snowplows, which improves visibility and safety for the traveling public. The paint being
used also aids striping visibil-

ACT on Alzheimer’s committee members will begin
surveying businesses, caregivers and community members this week as part of Arlington’s
ACT
on
Alzheimer’s grant.
ACT members are conducting interviews to determine
how Arlington can become a
dementia friendly community. Arlington applied for the
ACT grant with goals of
keeping seniors in the community and allowing them to
keep doing everyday tasks
such as banking and dining
out.
ACT committee members
will take the next several
months to conduct interviews, then the ACT coordinator will enter the data into
the ACT database and the
community will be able to determine the next steps to take
to make the community dementia friendly. These steps
could include things like resource pamphlets, support
groups, or dementia friendly
business training.
Everyone in the community is welcome to attend the
regular ACT on Alzheimer’s
meetings. The next meeting
will be held at the Arlington
Community Center at 5:30

Opinions
Sibley East School Board
received misleading
information on diplomas
Our View: Area schools handed out
signed diplomas on graduation day this year
Misleading or incomplete information that is presented can
often times become fact when it goes unchallenged. That is
what has happened with the diploma issue at the Sibley East
Senior High School in Arlington.
After last year’s commencement exercises, Sibley East contacted schools and asked for their advice on the issue of signed
diplomas on graduation day. In an e-mail to the School Board,
Senior High Principal Tim Schellhammer stated that the vast
majority of received responses said Sibley East’s “approach to
populating graduation sleeves, with signed diplomas, in alphabetical order, within one week of classes being done, within
less than one week of grades being finalized, and with less
than one week to verify transcript credits ... was foolish,
stressful, and made time leading up to the ceremony way too
high stakes.” Several school districts even responded that it
“did not know any high schools still tried to pull that off.” The
responses, according to the e-mail, “came from schools smaller than Nicollet, larger than Minnetonka, and everywhere in
between.”
The Arlington Enterprise, in a few hours last week, contacted graduating seniors/school officials in the area and asked
whether or not those high schools presented signed diplomas
on graduation day this year. The responses received by this
newspaper were in sharp contract to the information presented
by Schellhammer in his e-mail to the School Board.
G-F-W, Glencoe-Silver Lake, Norwood Young America,
Belle Plaine, Le Sueur-Henderson and St. Peter all handed out
signed diplomas on graduation day this year.
The most important point in having a healthy discussion or
debate on any issue is having the most accurate and complete
information possible. That does not appear to be the case in the
current discussion and debate over diplomas at Sibley East.
It does not take a genius to figure out that the reason Sibley
East did not hand out signed diplomas at this year’s commencement exercises is because one graduate did not receive a
signed diploma on stage at last year’s program. To avoid another embarrassing moment, Schellhammer decided to change
the format for this year’s commencement exercises.
Like most issues, there often can be a solution to a problem
if there is healthy discussion. One area high school handed out
graduation folders to all seniors on stage this year. Once a student exited the stage, the graduating senior received a class
flower and his/her official diploma. That would be a good
compromise for Sibley East to consider at next year’s graduation program. It would eliminate any chance for an embarrassing moment on the stage and graduating seniors could leave
the school with their diploma. Students would have a diploma
to display at their graduation party and would not have to return to school and pick it up a week after graduation.

Feeling edgy, a man took a hot
bath. Just as he’d become comfortable, the front doorbell rang. The
man got out of the tub, put on terry
cloth slippers and a large towel,
wrapped his head in a smaller towel,
and went to the door. A salesman at
the door wanted to know if he needed any magazines. Slamming the
door, the man returned to the bath.
The doorbell rang again. On went
the slippers and towels, and the man
started for the door again. He took
one step, slipped on a wet spot, fell,
and hit his back against the hard
porcelain of the tub.
Cursing under his breath, the man
struggled into his street clothes and,
with every move a stab of pain,
drove to the doctor.
After examining him, the doctor
said, “You know, you’ve been
lucky. Nothing is broken. But you
need to relax. Why don’t you go
home and take a long hot bath?”

Letters To The Editor
Glenn Gruenhagen missed the point
To The Editor,
Glenn Gruenhagen missed the
point of my response to his initial
letter to the editor. (Glenn, I’m not
comparing you to a terrorist). But he
proves the point. Representative
Gruenhagen’s consistent words and
actions as a public leader contribute
to continued prejudice in our society. And such a public stance deserves a public response. If he can
stand the cameras on him when he’s
chasing after his personal causes, I
think he can handle a local editorial
or two.
Glenn shows his hand when he
maintains the falsehood that being
“homosexual” is something that can
and should be treated. In 1973, the
American Psychiatric Association
removed their classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. As
a survivor of “Christian” anti-gay
treatment programs, I can speak directly to the psychological and spiritual harm caused by the so-called
therapy Glenn endorses. There is a
reason that states across the nation
continue to outlaw such hack therapy. There is a reason that Exodus International, the largest ex-gay ministry in the world - the one that I,
myself, participated in - shut down
in 2013 after issuing a public apology to all the innocent people it hurt.
Having lived that nightmare, I continue to pray for those who are
trapped in the mindset that their orientation is wrong and should be
“cured.” There is no lifestyle to
leave. There is only an identity to be
loved. Thanks be to God!
You say you have LGBTQ
friends...good. I hope I can be
counted among them someday. You
say I’m taking advantage of a national tragedy. No...for me it was a
personal tragedy and I do not want it
minimized or whitewashed for political affect. You say I’m not being
tolerant. The fact is...I’ve had to tolerate prejudice my whole life. And,
unfortunately, we were shown in Orlando that prejudice kills more than
human dignity...it can actually kill
humans.
I, too, welcome the opportunity to
visit with Glenn. In fact, I would
love to have a public conversation
that goes beyond dueling letters to
the editor. You have my contact information, Glenn. Let’s talk.

Gaylord
Commissioners responsible for courthouse repairs
To The Editor,
At the Sibley County Board meeting of July 12, commissioners had a
lengthy discussion regarding the
condition of the Sibley County
courthouse, enumerating the many
issues that are affecting the structural and operational well-being of this
historical landmark. I publicly expressed my concern about this issue
in a letter to the editor a few weeks
ago. The commissioner’s July 12
discussion confirmed what I stated
in that letter, “…the Sibley County
Courthouse is in desperate need of
repair.”
Commissioners expressed concern
at the condition and the cost of ad-
dressing needed repairs, to which
County Administrator Traxler stated,
“That’s what happens when you
have a 100 year old building.” No,
that is not what happens when you
have a 100 year old building.
• That is what happens when you
have a 100 year old historical landmark that has not been properly
maintained over a very long period
of time.
• That is what happens when you
have a 100 year old historical landmark and no one has taken responsibility for developing a proper maintenance/repair plan to preserve the
structure.
• That is what happens when you
have a 100 year old historical landmark and there is no accountability
for how decisions were made or not
made about the preservation of this
building.
The responsibility and accountability for the condition of the Sibley
County Courthouse is first and foremost that of the Sibley County
Commissioners. It has been under
their watch that this building has
fallen into disrepair and that the Sibley County taxpayers will be required to bear the burden for the
high cost of preserving part of Sibley County’s legacy.

Gaylord
Bob Rezner misses the point of the letter
To The Editor,
In response to Mr. Rezner’s letter
last week, I want to clarify that I
never attached a headline to my letter when I submitted it to the paper.
The Enterprise headline regarding
Kranz needing to be a team player
was done by the paper editor. The
first I knew of that headline was
when I read the paper. I feel as
though Mr. Rezner missed my point
of the letter with that headline and I
do not feel I did any “name calling”
as he states.
I was making the residents aware
that Mr. Kranz’s letter was portraying incorrect information to residents. I was not intending to defend
Principal Shellhammer. I was simply
stating the facts of the information
that board members were provided.
Actually Mr. Rezner, I am a lifelong
district resident. I have had kids in
the Sibley East district for over 20
years, and I am a taxpayer (whose
taxes have gone up significantly in 2
years). Our last child just graduated
which means I have a senior who

the changes that were made this
year. I did have a better understanding of why the decisions were made
after I took that responsibility as a
parent to speak to those who made
those decisions.
I have no problem with Mr. Kranz
feeling situations need board discussion. The problem I have is how he
presents his requests. There is a policy on how to handle complaints and
also how board members are to get
an item for discussion on the board
agenda.
I encourage district residents to
communicate to administration any
concerns or questions you have. If
you have concerns about the poor
bus inspection report, then ask to
meet with Superintendent Amsden
and see the reports & the action for
correction as I did. There was never
a request made by a resident or

Adam C. Buck, Editor
Noack’s big Wilcox truck
made several trips to Green Isle
during the week hauling loads of
produce from Green Isle to the
packing plant in Arlington. The
motor is a big one and can stow
away an amazing pile of crates
and cases, making the runs between the two towns with very
little fuss.
The Glencoe Brewing Co. suffered the loss of two of its delivery horses here last Saturday
due to the intense heat. One of
the animals dropped on upper
Main Street at about noon and
died a few hours after. The other
succumbed in the evening while
driving back to Glencoe.
The hot weather of the past
two weeks melted every press
roller in the Enterprise print

all recast.

Highway 14 detour to begin Monday, July 25
Weather permitting, Highway 14 motorists from Nicollet to North Mankato are advised to prepare for a threemonth detour beginning
Monday, July 25 to build the
connections between existing
Highway 14 and the new
alignment to the south of
Nicollet.
The Highway 14 detour
consists of Nicollet County
Roads 25 and 23. Motorists
can expect added stops at
county road intersections. As
with any changes in routes
and travel conditions, motorists are advised to use
added caution, slow down
and put down the phone.
Highway 68 is an alternate
route.
Highway 111/County
Road 23 (south of the new interchange) will be detoured to
County Roads 25, 17 and
Highway 99.
The duration of the Highway 14 detour has been increased from two months to
three months to assist construction that has been
slowed by numerous rains.
This is the second year of
construction on the expansion
project. This year work includes installing granular and
aggregate bases then concrete
paving, striping, signing, and
erosion control. The bridge
for the new interchange was
completed ahead of schedule,
but rain after rain has slowed
the earthwork by several
weeks.
The project, which includes
building 6.5 miles of two additional lanes north of existing Highway 14 and a 2.5
mile four-lane southern bypass of Nicollet with an interchange for Highway 111/CR
23 is scheduled to be complete by November. Mathiowetz Construction Company of Sleepy Eye is the contractor on the $32 million
Corridors of Commerce project.
A detour map and information about Highway 14 can be

Grant program aims to help
increase number of hunters
and anglers in Minnesota
A dozen organizations are
receiving funding to help increase how many people hunt
or fish – or support those who
already do – through a new
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources grant program.
“We’re excited about how
these organizations plan to
support fishing and hunting in
Minnesota,” said Jeff Ledermann, DNR angler recruitment and retention supervisor.
“What these groups shared
was a commitment to getting
people outdoors for these pursuits.”
The Angler and Hunter Recruitment and Retention
Grant Program began this
year and award winners are
posted on the grants webpage.
The program was very competitive with 35 applicants in
round one.
The application for round
two of the grant program can
be found at the same webpage. Organizations interested
in applying for the grant program are invited to apply by
Thursday, Oct. 13.
“We are preparing for a
second round of this program
and organizations can apply
for funding,” Ledermann
said. “We give priority to programs that are new and innovative and have an ongoing
impact, rather than one-time
events.”
Grant awards range from
$5,000 to $50,000, and require a dollar-for-dollar
match of the state grant award
amount, or else a match of the
value of labor, materials or
services of the state award.
The DNR expects to have
over $100,000 to distribute in
round two.
Eligible projects have a
purpose that supports angler
or hunter recruitment and retention. Types of activities
could include fishing and
hunting educational programs, clinics, workshops and
camps, and funding for fishing and hunting equipment
and transportation. Secondround projects must be completed in Minnesota and be
finished by June 30, 2018.

youth ages 12 to 15, and two
are archery hunts for youth
ages 12 to 17.
Participation in other deer
hunting seasons remains an
option for youth who take part
in the special youth deer
hunts, but any deer harvested
count against the youth’s season bag limit. An adult parent,
guardian or mentor must accompany the youth at all
times while hunting, but only
the youth may hunt. Both
youth and mentor must attend
a mandatory pre-hunt orientation clinic.
A limited number of eithersex permits are available for
each hunt. However, the hunt
in Buffalo River State Park
and Camden State Park are
for antlerless deer, and in the
Lake Shetek State Park hunt
youth need to harvest an
antlerless deer before getting
a permit to harvest a buck.
Youth must apply for the
hunt of his or her choice,
which can be done anywhere
DNR licenses are sold, at the
DNR License Center, 500
Lafayette Road, St. Paul, or
online at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense. For archery
hunts, apply with code 630;
for firearms hunts, apply with
code 631.
If the number of applications exceeds the number of
permits, the DNR will randomly draw names to choose
participants. Youth may apply
for one archery hunt and one
firearms hunt. Successful applicants also must meet all
firearms safety requirements,
purchase appropriate licenses
and follow hunting regulations.

Aly Dieball recently represented Minnesota in the recent National Junior Holstein Convention.
Aly Dieball represents MN in recent
National Junior Holstein Convention
For most 13-year-olds, representing the state of Minnesota at a convention in
New York would seem like
an overwhelming responsibility.
But for Aly Dieball of
Green Isle, it was just another
week in the life.
Aly, daughter of Jim and
Wendy Dieball, Green Isle,
traveled to Saratoga Springs,
New York, with her family
for the National Junior Holstein Convention. She participated in the national public
speaking competition for the
third year in a row.
Aly’s road to Saratoga
Springs began in March when
she represented Sibley County in the Minnesota Holstein
Association’s statewide
speech competition in Willmar. The winner of the competition would represent Minnesota in New York. Aly’s
speech on rBST shots given
to dairy cows was good
enough for first place and a
ticket to Saratoga Springs.
In 2014, Aly won the competition and headed to
Dubuque, Iowa, for the national competition. Last year,
Aly won again and presented
her speech at nationals in Illinois. And this year, Aly’s
speech landed her in the Empire State.
For the third year in a row,
Dieball, from a town of about
300 people, would represent
her whole state on a national
level.
Aly performed her speech
in front of a panel of judges
in New York. She was scored
on content, presentation,
knowledge of the subject and
her responses to questions at
the end of the speech.
Growing up on a farm with
over 130 cows, Aly has always been interested in topics
of dairy. She chose to speak
about rBST shots out of pure
curiosity.
“I heard about the shot
quite a bit and didn’t know
what it was at first, so I
thought I would educate myself,” Dieball said.
Although the Dieball farm
doesn’t use rBST shots, Aly’s
speech convinced judges otherwise. They noted her great
depth of knowledge on the
topic.
At the family farm, Aly
feeds calves, helps with fieldwork, picks up bales, and assists with milking, among
other tasks.
“She works hard,” Wendy
Dieball said. “You always
want the best for your kids,
but when they work hard at
something and do their best,
it makes you happier than
anything.”
The trip to New York was
Aly’s first time on a plane.
While in Saratoga Springs,
located about three hours
north of New York City, the
Dieball family visited a horse
track, toured six different
farms, took a bus tour of the
city, and attended an auction
where a cow was sold for
$115,000.
Aly will be an eighth grader at the Sibley East Junior
High School in the fall. At
school, she participates in
tennis, track, band and student guides. She is a constant
member of the “A” Honor
Roll in school and has danced
for 12 years. Aly also is active with the Minnesota Holstein Association and has
been involved with 4H since
kindergarten, where she currently serves as treasurer.
In the future, Aly would
like to attend the University
of Minnesota and become a
veterinarian. The talented and
incredibly busy 13-year-old
keeps herself going by following her motto:
“Try your hardest in everything you do so you know
you did your best.”
For the past three years,
Aly has followed the wise
words of her own and succeeded. She plans on participating in the speech competition as long as she can. Aly
will attempt to make it four
straight first-place finishes in
state and four-straight trips to
the National Junior Holstein
Convention.
She is the granddaughter of
Harlan and Barb Krueger, Arlington, and Karl and Rosemary Dieball, Green Isle.

United Youth Missions was hands and
feet of Jesus in Benton Harbor, Mich.
United Youth Missions had
the opportunity to be the
hands and feet of Jesus in
Benton Harbor, Mich., from
Sunday, July 3 through
Thursday, July 7.
In Benton Harbor, some of
the random acts of kindness
that the group was blessed
doing were helping under
privileged children at the
Lighthouse Ministries and
Boys and Girls Club, picking
invasive species in the Dunes
of Michigan (over 1,000
pounds it was reported), helping in the community at
churches and several gardens,
painting and repairing things
in community members’
homes, and so much more.
The community was so appreciative of everything.
They blessed the group more
by their hard work, determination to restore their com-
munity, their love for others
and by allowing the group to
help in some small way.
United Youth Missions is a
group of students in grades 912 of all denominations and
from many communities
going out to be the hands and
feet of Jesus serving less fortunate communities in the
United States. Youthworks is
the organization that the
group goes through. Students
in this age group who would
like more information on the
next mission trip or would
like to register should e-mail
Sharon
Marshall
at
samarsh@frontier.com.
The next trip is set for the
Blackfeet Indian Reservation
near Glacier National Park in
Montana from June 16
through June 23, 2017. The
deadline for registration is
Monday, Aug. 1.
The Winthrop Evangelical
Covenant Church is saying
goodbye to their pastor of
nine years.
Pastor Kyle Kachelmeier
has accepted a Pastoral Call
from the Journey Church in
Wichita, Kansas, and has resigned his position with
WECC effective at the end of
July.
The congregation is understandably sorrowful about the
loss of Pastor Kyle, but wishes him and his family blessings as they move to their
new church, and trust that he
is following God’s leading.
Church Chair Dan Messerli
noted “I greatly appreciate
the friendship and pastoral
leadership Pastor Kyle and
his family have given the
church.”
The church family is confi-
dent that God will be with the
them through this time of
transition, and many in the
congregation have expressed
the benefit of working without a pastor for a short time,
when the church can be challenged and grow together.
WECC will be hosting a
farewell party at 6 p.m. Friday, July 22. Pictures and
memories will be shared over
a good meal. Anyone who
wishes to say their goodbyes
is welcome to attend.
Those who desire to help
with the meal can bring a
dish to share.
Winthrop Evangelical
Covenant Church is located
at 107 W 3rd Street in
Winthrop. For more information, call the church office at
