The Sibley East School
Board, during its regular
monthly meeting in Arlington
on Monday night, July 20,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to approve the Like-Kind
Exchange and Option Agree-
ment with the City of Gay-
lord.
School Board members
Brian Brandt, Beth DuFrane,
Laura Reid, Missy Weber,
Dan Woehler and Sarah
Ziegler all voted in favor of
the motion.
The document was drafted
by the Schauer Law Office,
Winthrop, and reviewed by
School District Attorney Tony
Nerud.
The Gaylord City Council
is expected to approve the
same document during its
next regular meeting.
The Sibley East Public
Schools will receive approxi-
mately 22 acres of property
located east of the storm
sewer in the City of Gaylord.
This will be the site of the
new elementary school.
Sibley East and the City of
Gaylord continue to discuss
who will cover the cost of the
15,000 cubic yards of fill
needed at this site, according
to Superintendent Jim Ams-
den. He added that the esti-
mated $187,000 cost is well
within the scope of the proj-
ect budget.
Furthermore, Amsden re-
ported that Sibley East will
work on an emergency plan
for ammonia and LP leaks for
the new elementary school in
Gaylord and the renovated
building in Arlington.
In exchange, the City of
Gaylord will receive property
located along Highway 22
which includes three softball
fields, football field and foot-
ball practice area. Sibley East
will have the right to continue
to use these current school
athletic facilities. Sibley East
and the City of Gaylord will
enter into a separate facilities
lease for a cost sharing of
maintenance and improve-
ment costs and a process for
termination of the lease.
In addition, the City of
Gaylord will receive the Sib-
ley East Junior High School
building and the parking lot
located north of the facility.
Sibley East will have the
right to continue to use the
current school building and
the obligation to maintain the
building in its present condi-
tion until the new school
building is constructed and
ready for occupancy.
Along with this exchange,
Sibley East will provide for
abatement of asbestos from

Construction continues on the 2015 Utility &

Tuesday morning, July 22. Paving on Phase 1
streets is currently scheduled for late during
the week of July 27. Underground work within
Fourth Avenue and Chandler Street is current-
ly expected to take about three weeks to com-
plete. The completion of street work is still

The Sibley East School
Board, during its regular
monthly meeting in Arlington
on Monday night, July 20,
approved two moves in con-
junction with the construction
of a new elementary school in
Gaylord and the renovation
of the existing school build-
ing in Arlington.
The School Board unani-
mously approved a motion to
approve Draft AIA Document
C132 Standard Form of
Agreement Between Owner
and Construction Manager
RA Morton and Associates,
Inc., as Advisor.
School Board members
Brian Brandt, Beth DuFrane,
Laura Reid, Missy Weber,
Dan Woehler and Sarah
Ziegler all voted in favor of
the motion.
The School Board also
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to approve AIA Docu-
ment B132 Form of Agree-
ment Between Owner and Ar-
chitect, Construction Manag-
er as Advisor Edition.
Superintendent Jim Ams-
den reported that bid pack-
ages “will be ready to go in
September.”
Reconsider
Soccer
School district resident
Erica Mendez asked the
School Board to reconsider
an earlier decision to dissolve
the soccer co-op agreement
with the Glencoe-Silver Lake
Public Schools.
The School Board, by a 4-1
vote, made the decision dur-
ing a regular monthly meet-
ing in June. The decision was
made due to low numbers and
the lack of a strong feeder
program.
Mendez said the School
Board did not have all of the
accurate information and the
public did not have adequate
time to provide input on the
matter.
Mendez said Sibley East
has never promoted soccer or
recognized the student-ath-
letes in that sport.
Brandt said there are a lot
of elementary children play-
ing soccer, but the numbers
drop off in the junior high.
Brandt and Weber added
that parents are needed, much
like in other sports, to assist
the soccer program during the
off season.
Mendez said G-SL is very
accepting of the Sibley East
student-athletes in soccer and
the coaches are willing to at-
tend a meeting and make a
presentation.
Since the comments were
made during the visitor/guest
comment portion of the meet-
ing, the School Board was
unable to make any formal
decision on the request.
Brandt, however, said the
School Board could discuss
the request at a future meet-
ing and decide if it would like
to revisit the issue.
Amsden reported that it
would be too late for the
School Board to revisit the
issue at its next monthly
meeting in August. The
School Board, he added,
would have to call a special
meeting very soon.
Bids
The School Board sepa-
rately and unanimously ap-
proved several motions to ac-
cept a variety of bids for fis-
cal year 2016.
Bimbo Bakeries USA was
awarded the low quote to pro-
vide bakery products. Kemps
was awarded the lone quote
to provide dairy products. In-
dianhead Foodservice and
Reinhart Foodservice were
awarded the low line item
quotes to provide food prod-
ucts. Gaylord Sanitation was
awarded the low quote to pro-
vide refuse collection. UFC
was awarded the low quote to
provide diesel.
Other Business
The School Board sepa-
rately and unanimously ap-
proved motions to renew its
membership and services
with the Minnesota School
Board Association and Min-
nesota Rural Education Asso-
ciation.
The School Board also
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to approve the Project Ed
21 Handbook.
In other action, the princi-
pals will send out the elemen-
tary, junior high and senior
high handbooks to the School
Board members for review.

Storm Damage
Heavy rain and strong winds
caused some tree damage in
Arlington on early Saturday
morning, July 18. (Top

snapped from a tree and fell
in the backyard at the Char-
lie and Brenda Thomes resi-
dence along the 100 block of
East Adams Street. (Right

Austin and Zel Lentz house
along the 200 block of Sec-

A group of local officials
and residents have asked the
state Public Utilities Com-
mission to revoke the site
permit for Sibley Wind Sub-
station, according to a recent
article in The Free Press.
The request, which was
dated Tuesday, July 14, ar-
gues that the developer Sib-
ley Wind Substation LLC had
not made continuous con-
struction as required in a May
12 order from the commis-
sion, the article said.
“There has continued to be
no SWS construction activity
at all,” the request said. “The
July 1, 2015, deadline for
construction activity set in
the Commission order passed
13 days ago.”
Star Distributed Energy,
which controls Sibley Wind
Substation LLC, first applied
for a permit in 2008, accord-
ing to the article. The permit
is for 10 turbines with a max-
imum capacity of 20
megawatts. Over the course
of a year, turbines produce up
to 25 percent of their maxi-
mum capacity, so this project
could produce enough elec-
tricity to power about 3,800
homes.
Steve Estes, president of
Star, was busy during a call
from The Free Press on Fri-
day morning, then did not re-
turn afternoon calls at his
work or cell number.
Estes told The Free Press
in May that work on the proj-
ect had begun with $1.7 mil-
lion in electrical upgrades
and other civil work. After
the utility work, the site work
for the 10 foundations and
turbines was required to
begin by the end of June.
Estes said turbine construc-
tion was expected for the fall.
State Representative Glenn
Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe,
signed the revocation request
with 38 other boards, families
or individuals, according to
the article.
Gruenhagen said he oppos-
es the project because wind
and solar energy subsidies in-
crease the cost of electricity
for power, in wind’s case, that
is inconsistent, the article
said.
“It’s hurting our business-
es, it’s hurting our residents,”
he said. “And, in the end, it’s
producing lower tax rev-
enues. We’re pursuing a
ridiculous idea through gov-
ernment mandates.”

An Eagle Lake man died
from injuries he suffered in a
two-vehicle accident at the
intersection of County Road
9 and Highway 19 south of
Arlington at 10:41 p.m. Sat-
urday, July 18, according to
the Minnesota State Patrol.
Shawn M. Lang, 37, Eagle
Lake, was driving a 1996
Oldsmobile Ciera southbound
on County Road 9 when he
reportedly failed to stop at the
stop sign at Highway 19, ac-
cording to the report. The
Ciera went through the inter-
section and was struck by an
eastbound 2007 Infiniti G35
driven by Kelly J. Tadd, 44,
Minneapolis. Both vehicles
came to rest in the southeast
ditch.
Lang, who was not wearing
a seatbelt, was ejected from
the vehicle, according to the
report. He was transported by
the Arlington Ambulance to
the Ridgeview Sibley Med-
ical Center, Arlington, and
then airlifted by North Air
Care to the Hennepin County
Medical Center, Minneapolis,
where he died.
Tadd did not suffer any re-
ported injuries, the report
said. His passenger, Amanda
L. Meyer, 51, New Prague,
was transported to the
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center where she was treated
for non-life threatening in-
juries.

iff’s Department, Arlington

$90,000 in costs to the school.
This capped cost is within the
project budget, according to
Amsden.
Finally, Sibley East will
grant the City of Gaylord the
option to acquire the current
bus garage in Gaylord along
with its parking lot and green
space located north of the fa-
cility.
If the City of Gaylord de-
sires to exercise the option, it
must give written notice to
Sibley East. Upon notice, Sib-
ley East and the City of Gay-
lord will negotiate the precise
terms of the option, but any
terms will result in the school
obtaining, or being provided
funding for, a new school bus
garage and storage facility
similar to the current facility.
This option will terminate on
July 1, 2020.

McLeod County Chronicle
Editor
McLeod and Sibley county
representatives on the Trail-
blazer Transit Joint Powers
Board got some good news
Thursday morning — their
counties will be reimbursed a
good portion of their “local
share” from 2014.
According to Trailblazer
Transit Executive Director
Gary Ludwig, McLeod Coun-
ty is set to be reimbursed
$105,483, while Sibley Coun-
ty will be reimbursed
$52,741.
The local share is what the
counties contribute to the
service above what is finan-
cial through the Minnesota
Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) and revenue from
fares.
Ludwig said Trailblazer
had originally anticipated
more expense in 2014 as it
expanded its service to com-
munities in Wright County.
“We didn’t get service on
the road as quickly as we had
hoped,” said Ludwig, so ex-
penses were less than antici-
pation. In addition, Trailblaz-
er had hoped to have a facili-
ty built in Wright County by
September of 2014. That
building will be constructed
this year with occupancy ex-
pected in spring 2016.
But Ludwig also noted that
Wright County Area Transit
(WCAT), a coalition of
Wright County cities now
participating as a partner in
Trailblazer Transit, still owes
$77,085 from 2014.
WCAT is hoping to use
money left over in the River
Rider system to pay its share.
River Rider, which served
Wright and Sherburne coun-
ties, dissolved.
Bev Herfindahl of MnDOT
said an independent audit of
the River Rider system needs
to be completed before the
leftover funds are meted.
Herfindahl also said that
those funds cannot be put
back into general funds for
the cities or Wright County.
“That money needs to go
back to public transit, and it
needs to go to someone who
is already receiving transit
aid,” said Herfindahl.
The Joint Powers Board
agreed to refund McLeod and
Sibley counties, and to allow
WCAT to pay its share when
the River Rider funds become
available.
Looking ahead, Ludwig
also said that local shares by
the three entities — Sibley
County, McLeod County and
WCAT — should be consid-
erably less in 2015 because of
increased revenues from the
Wright County expansion.
Preliminary estimates are
that Sibley County and
WCAT will each need to con-
tribute $21, 737 in 2015,
while McLeod County’s
share will be $43,475.
Because Trailblazer bills
for some of its fares, it won’t
close its 2015 books until
spring 2016, after all the bills
are collected. Ludwig said the
actual local share won’t be
known until that point.
In other business, the Joint
Powers Board:
• Heard that the Adult
Training and Habilitation
Center (ATHC) is considering
other transportation options
rather than contracting with
Trailblazer to transport
clients to their jobs.
Martha Brannon, executive
director of ATHC, said that
the center is losing about
$110, 000 yearly in trans-
portation costs. While there is
some state reimbursement for
transportation, it’s not enough
to cover ATHC’s expenses.
Lisa Parteh of Functional
Industries, a similar service in
Wright County, said she is
willing to work with ATHC to
make sure it is maximizing its
eligible reimbursements.
The Joint Powers Board
will hear from ATHC again at
its September meeting.
In the meantime, said Lud-
wig, Trailblazer needs to con-
sider how to fill or transition
its four schedules dedicated
to ATHC if it chooses to end
its contract with Trailblazer.
• Heard that bids for its
Wright County facility, to be
located in Buffalo, came in at
about $2.9 million, its bud-
geted amount. The facility is
being constructed by the city
of Buffalo, which will lease it
to Trailblazer with an option
to buy.

Sibley County Fair has
free admission this year
Our View: It’s the best five
days of summer
Letter To The Editor
Guest Column
The Sibley County Fair Board, earlier this year,
voted to discontinue all gate fees and have a free fair
in 2015.
It is one of the biggest moves made during the 146-
year history of the Sibley County Fair.
This year’s Sibley County Fair will be held from
Wednesday, July 29 through Sunday, Aug. 2.
The Fair Board made the move after the Sibley
County Commissioners increased its yearly stipend for
the Sibley County Fair. In addition, monies from off
season events and storage have grown to the point
where the Sibley County Fair will come close to
breaking even.
To help in this major transition, the Fair Board will
have to institute a $5 parking fee for four days of the
fair.
In addition to the free admission, the Sibley County
Fair will feature a variety of activities for fairgoers of
all ages including free entertainment, free horse arena
events, grandstand events, heritage stage events, 4-H
exhibits and carnival rides. There will also be plenty of
food and beverages. Five thousand dollars in scrip
money will also be given away during the fair.
As Bear Trocke and Bob Thomes always say, “It’s
the best five days of summer.”

Two accountants go to their credit

armed robbers burst in. While sever-
al of the robbers take the money
from the tellers, others line the cus-
tomers, including the accountants,
up against a wall, and proceed to
take their wallets, watches, and other
valuables.
While this is going on accountant
number one jams something in ac-
countant number two's hand.
Without looking down, account-
ant number two whispers, “What
is this?” To which accountant
number one replies, “It's that $50

“Doctor, I just can't get to sleep at

the problem - I make a mistake
and then spend three hours trying
to find it.”

about her husband spending all his

took her along with him. "
“What'll you have?” he asked.
“Oh, I don't know. The same as
you I suppose,” she replied.
So, the husband ordered a couple
of Jack Daniels and threw his down
in one shot.
His wife watched him, then took a
sip from her glass and immediately
spat it out. “Yuck, that's terrible!”
she spluttered. “I don't know how
you can drink this stuff!”
“Well, there you go,” cried the
husband. “And you think I'm out
enjoying myself every night!”

To The Editor,
Last week we learned that MN-
sure now has a 180,000 case back-
log of public-program enrollees who
are unable to renew their health cov-
erage. These glitches have left MN-
sure unable to send bills to thou-
sands of people in order to pay their
2015 premiums, and MNsure is un-
able to check eligibility information
for thousands more, some of whom
may be receiving benefits improper-
ly.
This is the latest in a long line of
technical failures that have plagued
MNsure since the beginning. That’s
why I was glad to see HHS Chair
Matt Dean and Rep. Greg Davids
call for a MNsure Legislative Over-
sight Committee meeting so we can
begin to discuss a path forward and
a transition away from the MNsure
exchange. Due to the Supreme
Court’s recent Obamacare ruling,
Minnesotans who are eligible for
premium subsidies under the law are
not in danger of losing support if we
revert to the federal exchange. With
upwards of $300 million already
spent on MNsure why would we
continue throwing good money after
bad and not just switch over to the
federal hub?
Here is a rundown and timeline of
the recent glitches:
• July 2014: glitches force 16,000
low-income families to wait as long
as six months for coverage (Star
Tribune, 7/2/2014)
• July 2014: 3,000 MinnesotaCare
recipients sent wrong bills by DHS,
some for months (KSTP, 7/21/2014)
• July 2014: DHS incorrectly tells
8,700 MinnesotaCare recipients to
renew by 8/1/2014 or coverage
would cancel (Pioneer Press,
7/28/2014)
• September 2014: 29,000 on pri-
vate and public plans waiting
months to update coverage through
DHS and MNsure for spouses, new-
borns, other life events (Pioneer
Press, 9/1/2014)
• September 2014: DHS indefi-
nitely delays transition of 800,000
insured through public programs to
MNsure (Pioneer Press, 9/1/2014)
• November 2014: DHS/MNsure
life event backlog grows to 30,000
(Star Tribune, 11/4/2014)
• January 2015: MNsure glitches
block 7,500 from enrolling in public
programs (Star Tribune, 1/13/2015)
• March 2015: 1,300 still waiting
for tax forms from MNsure – one
month before tax filing deadline
(Star Tribune, 3/6/2015)
• March 2015: MNsure cuts en-
rollment projections by 68 percent
for 2016
• May 2015: MNsure glitches put
coverage for over 55,000 on public
programs in question (Star Tribune,
5/11/2015)
• July 2015: 180,000 public pro-
gram renewals delayed by MNsure
glitch; 60,000 threatened with termi-
nation of coverage (Star Tribune,
7/11/2015)
Minnesotans deserve better. We
can save the state money, and give
citizens a better user-experience that
MNsure has failed to deliver. It’s
time for the Governor and DFLers
to join with us in these efforts and to
be honest that the failed MNsure ex-
periment that they brought to Min-
nesota needs to come to an end.

Editor’s Note: The following arti-
cle was submitted by the North
American Retail Hardware Associa-
tion (NRHA).
As we head into the busiest sea-
sons for home improvement, it is
important to know that where con-
sumers choose to shop for their
home improvement needs can have
a dramatic impact on the communi-
ties where they live.
A new study shows that for every
dollar a consumer spends at a local-
ly owned home improvement store,
nearly twice as much of that money
stays in the local community than if
the purchases were made at a big-
box chain store.
That means, when consumers buy
products at their local home im-
provement store, such as Thomes
Bros., rather than from a major
chain, local communities clearly
reap the benefits.
The data comes from a study
sponsored by the North American
Retail Hardware Association
(NRHA) and Independent We Stand,
which are organizations dedicated to
helping independently owned busi-
nesses succeed. Civic Economics,
an economic analysis and strategic
planning firm, conducted the study
on behalf of the two organizations.
The new research shows that
shopping at a local home improve-
ment business like Thomes Bros.
provides a 97-percent local econom-
ic advantage, but what does that
mean for Arlington? That means
twice as much money goes to what
matters close to home, such as
schools and Little League teams.
In addition, buying power equip-
ment from an independent dealer re-
sults in a 71 percent increase in local
economic activity compared to pur-
chasing comparable outdoor power
equipment from the major chains,
according to the study.
When consumers buy from chain
stores, most of the money they
spend leaves the area and funds cor-
porations. But if consumers shift
their home improvement spending
to independent stores instead of
chains for one year, $379,016 would
stay in Arlington.
The potential national impact of
shopping at local home improve-
ment stores is much bigger. Togeth-
er, the two largest national home
center chains—Lowe’s and Home
Depot—sold $114 billion in goods
in 2013. If just 10 percent of that
business had gone to independent
stores throughout the country, home-
towns across the U.S. would have
collectively seen an increase of $1.3
billion in economic activity.

study, visit

History
The Sibley County Histori-
cal Society (SCHS) will not
have a meeting this month.
Members are busy preparing
exhibits for the Sibley Coun-
ty Fair which will run from
Wednesday, July 29 through
Sunday, Aug. 2, according to
Curator Sharon Haggen-
miller.
The SCHS exhibits will be
located in the former Boy
Scout building between
Porky’s Ham House and the
new Heritage Building.
“This year our visitors will
be invited to help make but-
ter,” said Haggenmiller. “Of
course, butter goes best with
fresh homemade bread and
other toppings. Find out
about ‘Bees and Honey’ from
Honls of Winthrop, ‘Making
Preserves’ from Kelly Sloot
of Winthrop and ‘Making
Sorghum’ from David Tesch
of Henderson. Butter, honey,
jam, and sorghum will be
available for tasting.”
The times of scheduled
demonstrations will be posted
outside of the building.
In addition, there will be a
special coloring project for
the children. There will also
be a sample of the museum’s
4-H display, and guess the
mystery items.
The regular open hours for
the museum are 2 p.m. to 5
p.m. Sundays through Octo-
ber. One exception will be on
Sunday Aug. 2, when volun-
teer guides will be working at
the Sibley County Fair.
The annual SCHS tour is
tentatively planned for Tues-
day, Aug. 24. Watch for de-
tails in newspapers and the
SCHS newsletter. Check our
website at sibleycountyhistor-
icalmuseum.com for more in-
formation.

Billy Berger of Jessenland
was in town Tuesday, the first
time for nearly three months.
His many friends are glad to see
that he is gradually recovering
after a prolonged attack of sciat-
ic rheumatism. He returned re-
cently from Mankato where he
was under the care of a special-
ist.
Butcher Bigot’s new ice ma-
chine was installed last week
and is now in operation. The
machine is the object of much
curiosity by patrons of the shop
who wonder why it is possible
to make ice with the mercury
hovering around 90 degrees in
the shade.
The school election Saturday
evening attracted the usual small
number of voters, the same citi-
zens who attend each year. Dr.
M. E. Bushey and R. L. Sander
were re-elected to succeed
themselves as members of the
board. According to the officers
the financial condition of the
school is very good as are also
the affairs in general. The ques-
tion of consolidating this district
with the surrounding rural dis-
tricts was discussed and all pres-
ent appeared to favor the propo-
sition. The movement is very
popular in North Dakota and is
now being taken up in this state.

The body of Howard
Mehlhop, young Arlington man
who was drowned in Lake
Pleasant near Annandale on
Sunday, July 16th, was recov-
ered the following Friday
evening. It was found by two
men from Howard Lake in about
40 feet of water not far from the
spot where he is thought to have
drowned. The recovery was
made after a 6-day search in
which hundreds of men took
part. Many local organizations
including the Arlington Fire De-
partment, Lutheran Men’s Club,
American Legion and Sports-
men’s Club organized crews to
aid in the search. Many other in-
dividuals from the Arlington
community also helped.
Herb Kruger, owner of the
building which houses the post
office, is having a big remodel-
ing job done in that part of it.
New fixtures and a new rubber
tile floor have been installed,
and the walls will be covered
with plywood. A new vestibule
will also be placed at the en-

Marv’s Lanes, located on
Highway 5 in Arlington have
been sold according to an an-
nouncement this week by the
owner, Marvin Boettcher. The
new owner is Bernard A. Boik
of Webster, South Dakota. Mr.
Boik is married and the father
of six. He plans to build a home
just east of the bowling alley.
The alleys will be closed until
the middle of August for remod-
eling and the addition of a lunch
counter.
Wm. Mathwig, one of our
local fishermen, states he
doesn’t believe in going up
north fishing when he can get

caught a nine and one-half
pound northern pike in Buck’s

is unknown. One thousand bales

Henry C. Hardel of Arlington,
suffered electrical burns Thurs-
day when he came in contact
with a high voltage power line
in Gaylord. He is hospitalized in
satisfactory condition at the Ar-
lington Hospital. Hardel, an em-
ployee of the Arlington Cement
and Stone Works, was unloading
concrete blocks for the new
swimming pool at Gaylord,
using a boom on a truck. The
boom came into contact with the
overhead line, causing a short-
circuit to the ground.
25 Years Ago

Kurt Menk, Editor
Minnegasco presented a grant
of $1,500 to the City of Arling-
ton as part of the company’s
Star City Grant Program. Min-
negasco’s Star City Grant Pro-
gram provides grants to commu-
nities in its Minnesota service
territory that are seeking Star
City designation.
The City of Arlington will be
allowed to keep diagonal park-
ing on both sides of Main Street
when the county reconstructs
County State Aid Road 17 (Ar-
lington’s Main Street) next year.
Members of the Arlington
Conquerors 4-H Club donated
and erected a welcome sign
along Highway 5 just southwest
of Arlington.
Second District Congressman
Vin Weber filed for his sixth
term in Congress. Weber is the
fifth-ranking member of the
House Republican Caucus and
is currently serving as the secre-
tary of the Republican Confer-
ence.
George Foreman in Zaire,
Hillary used the rope to
dodge, run and hide from
nasty journalistic blows in
Gorham, New Hampshire.
Trump can’t rope a dope.
He doesn' t know how. All
Trump knows how to do is to
stand toe to toe and throw,
well, uh words. Don't let that
make you withdraw from your
ringside seat. Trump is ex-
tremely capable of rendering
punishing blows with words
that deliver one sting after an-
other. “You' re fired, ” and
“Rapist” are just a couple of
stinging zingers.
Donald Trump is not the
smooth talking, teleprompter
reading Barack Obama.
Trump is not the Bush Boy
raised in wealth, political aris-
tocracy and who will go out
of life feeling like a failure if
he doesn't make President like
his dad and brother. Trump is
not a slob like Chris Christie
who pushes his weight around
and reminds me more of a
mafia boss closing a lane on
the George Washington
Bridge.
Actually I have never been
a Trump fan. I rarely watched
the Apprentice, thought he
had made some personal mis-
takes in the past and that his
ego was bigger than a Mar-
riott hotel ballroom. Howev-
er, Trump is not a career
politician. He has been one of
America' s very successful
businessmen and television
entertainers. He is not stupid.
He communicates even
though his rant about Mexican
illegals did not come out the
way his Republican competi-
tion would have liked. To that
I say, too bad for them be-
cause a large number of
Americans are sick and tired
of wussy talk and even worse,
wussy politicians. Our coun-
try is at a serious juncture in
our history. Look at Greece.
We are headed in that direc-
tion rapidly. Something radi-
cal must be done or we will
become like Greece, hungry,
poor and with very little hope
for the future.
Trump means business
when he talks about the bor-
der, bringing jobs home and
illuminating ISIS' s money
flow. Maybe he has not articu-
lated the way the republicans
want him to. They want him
to tone it down. Interesting, il-
legals are running us over in
this country. Jobs are flooding
to Mexico and China and
Americans become poorer
and poorer. ISIS is on the
move recruiting everybody
they can via Twitter. Thus,
they are asking Trump to tone
it down. How can anyone run-
ning for office seriously be
running a relaxed, calm and
low intensity campaign? I
think it's time for someone to
get mad about this mess that
is drowning our nation and
like Howard Beale in the
movie Network, get mad as
hell and not take it anymore!
We also need a few million
Americans to wake up, get
mad and stop electing wussy
politicians who just want to
build their legacy, get a gov-
ernment paycheck and then
dodge dealing with issues
such as illegal immigrants
who have broken the law.
They have invaded our nation
illegally. They are working il-
legally. They have been em-
ployed illegally. Both the em-
ployer and the immigrants are
criminals. We need a Presi-
dent who will crack down on
these people. So, for the Re-
publicans who are worried
about tone I say, yell louder
Trump. Stomp your feet and
wake up the wussies. Time is
not on our side.

An open house on
aquatic invasive species
(AIS) is being hosted by
Sibley County Environ-
mental Services at the
High Island Conservation
Club on High Island Lake
in New Auburn from 7
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday,
July 28. It is located at the
end of Fifth Avenue.
The public is encour-
aged to discuss the poten-
tial risks and impacts of
AIS within Sibley County
and the region. Attendees
will have an opportunity
to share their comments
and help guide future ef-
forts to protect our valued
lakes and streams, espe-
cially those concerning the
potential impacts to water-
fowl hunting.
With the rapidly grow-
ing number of water bod-
ies infested with zebra
mussels, spiny waterflea,
purple loosestrife, and
Eurasian water milfoil
around the state, public
discourse and feedback is
necessary to prevent the
spread.
This event includes the
showing of a brief docu-
mentary produced by the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, a brief
presentation highlighting
the current status of Sibley
County’s AIS program, in-
teractive stations, and a
question-and-answer ses-
sion with natural resource
professionals.

SE American Legion

Cleanup following a
windstorm can be an over-
whelming task for home-
owners. Knowing which
trees to save and which to
remove can impact safety
and the survival of remain-
ing trees, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources.
Forest health specialist
Brian Schwingle offers the
following tips.
Do:
• Carefully inspect stand-
ing trees for damage and
deal with hazardous trees
first. If possible, ask a
forester or arborist for ad-
vice.
• Trees should be removed
if more than 50 percent of
the trunk or live branches in
the tree crown are damaged,
or if the tree is leaning and
roots are damaged.
• Watch for detached
branches, loosely hanging
branches and split or
cracked trunks that can
cause injury or further dam-
age.
• Use proper pruning tech-
niques by cutting just out-
side the branch collar, but
limit pruning to making the
tree safe. Too much pruning
can damage an already
stressed tree.
• Water stressed and dam-
aged trees weekly to help
them repair and rebuild. Be
careful not to overwater, es-
pecially in heavy clay soils.
• Monitor damaged trees
in upcoming years to make
sure they don’t become a
hazard.
Don’t:
• Don’t be rushed by
promises of bargains from
inexperienced or unqualified
tree service providers. Im-
proper pruning or unneeded
removal can result in unnec-
essary costs or loss of
healthy trees.
• Don’t repair a broken
branch or fork of a tree with
tape, wire, bolts or other
wraps. It will not heal, and
the split will invite decay
and further weaken the tree.
Cabling or bracing should
only be performed by a cer-
tified arborist and inspected
annually.
• Don’t remove the tops of
trees. This makes the tree
more susceptible to insects
and disease, and results in
new branches that are weak-
ly attached.
• Don’t apply paint or
dressing to wounds as these
materials interfere with the
natural wound sealing
process.
• Don’t remove small,
leaning trees. Trees less than
15 feet tall may survive if
they are gently pulled back
into place. Press out air
spaces in the loosened soil.
The tree can then be staked
for up to a year.
• Don’t fertilize stressed
or damaged trees.
Information on tree care,
proper pruning techniques
and handling damaged trees
is available on the DNR
website. For more extensive
information on tree care,
contact a DNR forester, city
forester, certified arborist or
county extension staff. Take
the right steps to correct
damaged trees so they can
continue to provide shade,
clean air, beauty and in-
creased property value for
many years to come.
DNR offers advice for dealing with storm damaged trees

ing Committee will conduct a pub-
lic hearing on Thursday, August 6,
2015 at 7:01 p.m. or as soon
thereafter, in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 204 Shamrock Drive.
The purpose of the hearing is to
consider an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance relating to uses

for company vehicles to be parked
off-street; and a requirement to re-
tain a storefront or office.
Any person desiring to com-
ment on these matters is invited to
do so in writing or orally at the
time of the public hearing. Written
comments should be directed to
Cynthia Smith Strack, Zoning Ad-
ministrator, 204 Shamrock Drive,

The Minnesota Department
of Transportation has closed
Highway 15 from Highway
19 at Winthrop to just south
of U.S. Highway 212 south of
Brownton, according to an ar-
ticle in the Winthrop News.
The project will consist of
a three-inch milling and over-
lay of the highway through-
out the stretch. There will
also be culvert replacement
closer to Highway 212 and
culvert lining on the other
culverts in the project area.
The expected re-opening
date is Sept. 18. Traffic will
be detoured east to Gaylord.
It will be routed north on
Highway 22 and then back
west on Highway 212 to
Highway 19.
