McLeod and Sibley coun-
ties’ “local share” contribu-
tions to Trailblazer Transit
will be considerably less in
2014 than was anticipated in
2013.
Gary Ludwig, Trailblazer’s
executive director, updated
the Joint Powers Board on
the transit system’s financial
situation Thursday morning.
According to Ludwig, in-
creased funding by the Min-
nesota Department of Trans-
portation (MnDOT) and an
expansion of service into
Wright County has resulted
in more income to Trailblazer
Transit.
The “local share” con-
tributed by the two counties
covers the gap between
MnDOT-funded service and
fare revenue and actual costs
of providing public transit.
MnDOT typically funds 85
percent of approved financial
services. But Trailblazer also
offers service beyond the
scope of MnDOT’s funding,
including volunteer drivers
and service outside of normal
operating hours.
Ludwig said that Trailblaz-
er had asked MnDOT for
funding for $2. 4 million;
MnDOT approved $1.9 mil-
lion, of which it pays 85 per-
cent.
Beverly Herfindahl of
MnDOT pointed out that the
$1.9 million funding was
$300,000 greater than the
$1.6 million that had been ap-
proved for Trailblazer in
2013.
Although MnDOT also has
approved additional, transi-
tional funding for expanding
service into Wright County, it
had approved more funding
for Trailblazer before Wright
County entered the picture,
Herfindahl said.
“A lot of MnDOT’s extra
funding was for McLeod and
Sibley counties, even before
we started talking about
Wright County,” said
Herfindahl. “I don’t want to
put it out there that you’re
being handsomely rewarded
for moving into Wright
County, because you’re not.”
But having service in
Wright County will still help
financially, said Ludwig.
First, Trailblazer is provid-
ing contracted service to
Functional Industries, an em-
ployment agency for disabled
people, to transport its clients
to and from work.
Second, Trailblazer is
working with a coalition of
Wright County cities, to be
called Wright County Area
Transportation (WCAT), to
provide more service to the
general public. That coalition
also will be a partner in local
share costs with McLeod and
Sibley counties.
Without the Wright County
income and additional financ-
ing from MnDOT, Trailblazer
had expected McLeod and
Sibley counties to kick in a
total of $476,700 to cover op-
erational and capital expenses
not covered by MnDOT and
fare revenues. That number
will be closer to $303,000,
Ludwig said.
And once a joint powers
agreement is finalized with
WCAT, that $303,000 should
be reduced by an approxi-
mate $56,000 contribution
from WCAT, bringing it
down to about $247,000 total.
“That’s a very, very small
local share gap,” said Lud-
wig. “That’s the smallest it’s
been in a long time. That’s
the financial impact of being
in Wright County and addi-
tional MnDOT funding.”
Additional MnDOT funding,
expanded service helps
the Trailblazer’s finances

Trailblazer Transit cur-
rently has two buses on the
road in Wright County, pri-
marily through a contract
with Functional Industries,
and the two buses are full.
Trailblazer Transit Execu-
tive Director Gary Ludwig
updated the Joint Powers
Board Thursday morning on
progress on expanding serv-
ice into Wright County.
The Minnesota Depart-
ment of Transportation
(MnDOT) is relying on
Trailblazer to help fill the
gap when the current transit
provider in Wright County,
River Rider, folds on July 1.
Ludwig said that Trail-
blazer is providing morning
and evening commuter serv-
ice to Functional Industries,
an employment service for
disabled adults, to get its
clients to and from work.
Ludwig said that although
Functional Industries has
priority, the buses will be
open to the general public
on a space-available basis,
and between the morning
and evening shifts used by
Functional Industries.
“These buses are full,”
said Ludwig. “We’re pro-
jecting 33,000 rides a year
just on these two buses.”
And those 33,000 rides
are just for serving Func-
tional Industries clients, and
don’t include other rides.
“That’s phenomenal, ”
said Ludwig.
Ludwig added that a third
bus was expected to go into
service Monday, June 30.
Other buses will gradually
be phased in with the hope
of having seven buses on
the road by Oct. 1, Ludwig
said. Six of those seven will
serve Functional Industries.
In addition to its contract
with Functional Industries, a
coalition of cities is forming
to create Wright County
Area Transportation
(WCAT) which will partner
with Trailblazer to provide
additional service to the
general public, and be a
member of Trailblazer ’s
joint powers agreement with
McLeod and Sibley coun-
ties, which will allow Trail-
blazer to expand its service
even more in Wright Coun-
ty.
Merton Auger, city ad-
ministrator in Buffalo, told
the Joint Powers Board that
all of Wright County’s
cities, with the possible ex-
ception of Monticello and
Otsego, are willing to par-
ticipate in WCAT.
“Monticello and Otsego, I
don’t know about,” said
Auger.
Ludwig said that despite
the negative experience of
trying to work with the
Wright County Board of
Commissioners, Trailblazer
staff have been working
diligently on finding ways
to provide service in Wright
County.
“We focused on what we
needed to do, and we’ve
been doing it — somewhat
quietly, ” said Ludwig.
“MnDOT has paved the
way to make this happen.”
Auger said that people in
Wright County have been
looking forward to Trail-
blazer coming into its bor-
ders.
“You’ve done a lot of out-
reach,” said Auger. “People
are excited.”
Auger also said people
have high expectations of
Trailblazer, “but they’ve
been tempered by Gary
(Ludwig). We understand
this is going to be a slow
process.”
McLeod County Com-
missioner Sheldon Nies said
public perception is one of
his concerns, since Trail-
blazer isn’t in a position to
provide full service as of
July 1, River Rider will
cease to exist.
“We need to be prepared
for the downside of this, of
people not understanding
what is happening,” said
Nies.
Although there’s a plan to
gradually place more buses
on the road, Ludwig said
implementation will be im-
pacted by a couple of is-
sues: the hiring of drivers
and another dispatcher, and
the need for a facility in
Wright County.
Although Trailblazer has
had about 100 applications
for drivers, most don’t want
to drive to Glencoe to pick
up their buses, said Ludwig.
“The concern is we don’t
have a base of operations in
Wright County,” said Lud-
wig.
That issue is being re-
solved temporarily and,
hopefully, permanently.
Auger said the city of
Buffalo will provide tempo-
rary space at its public
works building with an of-
fice and a fenced-in area to
park buses, at no cost to
Trailblazer.
“We’re very committed to
this (bringing Trailblazer
service to Wright County),”
said Auger.
In addition, the Buffalo
Housing and Redevelop-
ment Authority has agreed
to make an offer on a for-
mer Dodge dealership
building in Buffalo and re-
model it for Trailblazer on a
lease-to-own basis.
Now that Trailblazer has
potential facilities in Wright
County, it has hired five of
the 14 drivers it will need,
Ludwig said.
Ludwig also compliment-
ed his staff for their dedica-
tion and work in getting
service on the road in
Wright County.
“They’ve done everything
they can to make this hap-
pen,” said Ludwig, whose
appreciation was echoed by
members of the Joint Pow-
ers Board and Auger, as
well as Bev Herfindahl of
the Minnesota Department
of Transportation.

Road Damage
The gravel road near the Arlington Sportsmen’s Park
was washed out due to the recent flooding. Much of
the road damage in Sibley County occurred in the
rural areas. 401st Avenue, which was closed after the
flooding, was reopened earlier this week. The East
Brooks Street Bridge remained closed on Wednesday
afternoon, July 2. It will not reopen until the bridge is
inspected.

The Sibley Broadband
Working Group will meet in
the Sibley Room at the Sibley
County Service Center in
Gaylord from 9 a.m. to 11:30
a.m. Tuesday, July 22. Regis-
tration will be held from 8:30
a.m. to 8:55 a.m.
The topic of discussion
will be “Putting Rural High
Speed Internet On Fast
Track.”
The group and meeting are
an idea derived by Winthrop
resident Mark Santelman
who is a candidate for the
Fifth District County Com-
missioner race.
“Getting high speed inter-
net to rural Sibley County has
been promised for years,”
said Santelman. “It is time to
let private sector and local
government collaborate to
make this reality. In 12
months, using teamwork, our
telecom providers can get
fast, secure, low cost internet
to all areas...without paying
bonds or raising taxes.”
State, county and city lead-
ers are invited to attend the
meeting.
To attend the meeting, peo-
ple should contact Santelman
at 507-217-1554 or email
mark.santelman@gmail.com.

An Albertville resident re-
ported that a black bear had
walked up to their sliding
glass door in the back yard on
Tuesday evening, July 1, ac-
cording to the KDUZ Radio
website.
Wright County Sheriff Joe
Hagerty sad the call came in
at 7:45pm from the resident
that lives in the 10000 block
of 64th Street Northeast in
the City of Albertville.
A Wright County sheriff’s
deputy responded to the area
and located the bear a short
distance away near a resi-
dence located in the 10000
block of Karston Avenue
Northeast.
Shortly after arriving, the
sheriff’s deputy heard a sin-
gle gunshot and observed the
bear running towards the
woods behind the residence.
The bear collapsed to the
ground and was found to be
deceased from a single gun-
shot.
The home owner contacted
the sheriff’s office and ad-
vised that his daughter had
been playing in the back yard
when he observed the bear
walk out of the woods toward
his residence. Being fearful
for his family’s safety, the
homeowner retrieved a hunt-
ing rifle and shot the bear.
The Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources and
Wright County Sheriff’s Of-
fice closed the incident as no
further action was needed.

Motorists on Highways 5,
19 and 22 in Gaylord can ex-
pect a detour to begin Mon-
day, July 7 as crews begin the
first stage of a two-year full
reconstruction project, ac-
cording to the Minnesota De-
partment of Transportation.
Highway 19 detour:
• Non-truck traffic will be
detoured to 8th Street, Main
Avenue.
• Truck traffic will be de-
toured to Sibley County
Roads 4, 8 and Highway 22
as the local city streets cannot
accommodate the turning
movements of larger vehi-
cles.
Highway 22 detour:
• All traffic will be de-
toured to Sibley County
Roads 12 and 13 and High-
ways 5 and 19.
Stage one construction on
Highways 19 and 22 extends
from Sibley Avenue to Gay-
lord’s north city limits. After
construction is complete be-
tween Sibley Avenue and
Main Avenue in late July,
traffic will be switched from
8th Street to Sibley Avenue,
which is stage two.
Work on the project in-
cludes grading, paving, in-
stalling utilities, lighting,
landscaping, replacing side-
walk and improving pedestri-
an accessibility on Highways
5, 19 and 22 in the City of
Gaylord.
Work will continue into the
fall of 2014 and resume with
additional stages to be com-
plete in the 2015 construction
season.
Detour maps, background
information and weekly up-
dates will continue to be post-
ed on Gaylord’s city website
at exploregaylord.org/.
Weekly public meetings to
provide update and address
concerns will be held begin-
ning July 10. Meetings will
be held at the Gaylord Public
Library at 11 a.m. Thursdays.
William Mueller & Sons,
Hamburg, has been awarded
the contract for $10,167,451.

New City Employee
Anastacia Shotliff, Henderson, recently
began her duties as the new part-time
community center coordinator/office
assistant for the City of Arlington.
Shotliff replaces Jennifer Strack who
resigned from the position in May.
Kaleb, a six-year-old from
Gaylord, with a hematologic
disorder, is the owner of the
coolest clubhouse in town,
according to a news release
from Kretschmar Deli.
Kaleb is an enthusiastic fan
of the movie “The Sandlot”
and wished for a fort inspired
by the 1993 cult classic.
Kretschmar Premium Deli
Meats and Coborn’s grocery
stores teamed with Make-A-
Wish Minnesota to make
Kaleb’s wish a reality. On
Tuesday, July 1, the three or-
ganizations granted him a
clubhouse just like the one
from the film. The project
was done in conjunction with
an association between
Kretschmar and Make-A-
Wish, in which Kretschmar
donated $105,000 for the sec-
ond consecutive year to grant
three wishes throughout
2014.
Actor Patrick Renna, who
played “Ham” in “The Sand-
lot,” was on hand to celebrate
with Kaleb for the official
dedication party. Renna
helped cut the ribbon to open
the clubhouse to Kaleb and
all of his friends and family.
The actor posed for several
pictures and signed numerous
autographs throughout the
day. Kretschmar and Coborns
supplied refreshments and
sandwiches for everyone and
gave Kaleb an oversized card
full of well wishes that were
collected over the month of
June from the customers and
employees at its stores.
The clubhouse is a near-
replica of the fort occupied
by the gang in “The Sandlot.”
It stands about five feet off
the ground in Kaleb’s back-
yard. It has a balcony, slide,
tire swing and a pole to slide
down. Just being near it, you
can imagine Kaleb having a
campout with friends like
“Ham,” “Smalls,” “Squints,”
“Yeah-Yeah, ” Kenny,
Bertram and Benny “the Jet.”
“We had a lot of fun in
helping bring Kaleb’s wish to
life, ” said Mike Sargent,
brand manager for
Kretschmar. “Above all,
we’re honored to fulfill
Make-A-Wish’s mission as
they bring hope, strength and
joy to children at a time they
need it most. We’re very
thankful to Coborn’s and the
local community for rallying
behind Kaleb and supporting
us to give Kaleb his club-
house.”
For Kaleb' s clubhouse,
Kretschmar partnered with
Coborn's to aid in sponsoring
the wish. In addition to
Kretschmar's $105,000 dona-
tion to Make-A-Wish Ameri-
ca, incremental funding for
the project was raised at
Coborn’s through sales of
paper stars that were sold at
its stores’ registers for $1,
with proceeds going to Make-
A-Wish. A sandwich was
named in Kaleb’s honor and
sold at the retailer' s deli
counters, with its proceeds
also benefitting Make-A-
Wish. Enough funding was
raised at Coborn's to enhance
Kaleb's clubhouse with bunk
beds, shelving and several
toys to fill the inside.
Tom McKinney, President
& CEO of Make-A-Wish
Minnesota stated, “We are so
thankful for the support we
received for Kaleb’s wish
through Kretschmar and
Coborn’s. Their support and
organizations like them make
it possible for us to grant 300
wishes a year.”

Representative Glenn Gru-
enhagen, R-Glencoe, is en-
couraging veterans, their
families, and surviving
spouses to consider applying
for Disaster Relief Grants
from the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs fol-
lowing the recent flooding
and storms that have impact-
ed Sibley and McLeod coun-
ties.
The grants, which are for
disaster-related reimbursable
expenses of up to $1,000, are
available to veterans and their
families in the counties under
the Governor's Emergency
Executive Order 14-11 after
severe storms caused severe
flooding and damage across
much of Minnesota. The
grants can be used to cover
costs associated with the re-
pair and recovery of their
homes and property. Receipt
documentation for costs be-
tween June 11 and Aug. 31 is
required in order to receive a
disaster relief grant, and ap-
plications must be post-
marked by Sept. 30.
“These grants are one way
to help Minnesotans clean up
from the disaster that has
caused a great deal of damage
and stress for families in our
area,” Gruenhagen said. “I
hope eligible veterans and
their families will take advan-
tage of this opportunity as a
way to limit the financial im-
pact of this natural disaster.”
According to a Minnesota
Department of Veterans Af-
fairs press release, Veterans
should contact their County
Veteran Service Office
(CVSO) to apply for a Disas-
ter Relief Grant, or call 1-
888-LINKVET (546-5838)
for assistance finding the lo-
cation and phone number of
their Veteran Service Office.
For more information, vet-
erans can also visit
www.mn.gov/mdva and fol-
low the “Disaster Relief
Available” link on the front
page.

to apply for disaster relief grants

Opinions
Meteorologists in
Minnesota have a
wonderful profession
Our View: Where else can a person be
wrong half the time and still keep their job?
Guest Columns
Local and area residents can hardly blame meteorologists for
the seven-plus inches of rain that fell on the Arlington and Green
Isle area late Wednesday night, June 18 and early Thursday
morning, June 19. These meteorologists, however, have been
anything but accurate since the big storm.
Additional rain was forecast and threatened the completion of
the baseball tournaments in Arlington and Green Isle later that
same weekend, but never materialized. Heavy rain was also fore-
cast and had local and area residents on the edge last weekend,
but Arlington and Green Isle received much less than predicted.
Although local and area residents were no doubt very happy
additional rain did not fall, the inaccurate forecasts and predic-
tions are a recurring theme in the state.
Meteorologists these days seem to be eager to forecast in-
clement weather and get people all hyped up. Why? A lot of it
has to do with TV ratings. They want and encourage people to
tune into their local television channels and see the latest cover-
age on the storm of the century. One TV station attempts to out-
cover the others with their latest weather technology and gadgets.
A week does not go by in which TV stations do not lead their
newscast or break into local programming with the threat of a
storm that, more times than not, never materializes.
Times have certainly changed. Years ago, meteorologists did
not cry wolf about the storm of the century every week. If they
forecasted or predicted a big storm, it was almost guaranteed.
People throughout the past couple of generations could better
predict and forecast with their local weather lore or by their
aches and pains.
Well, summer is now here. That means the weekly inaccurate
forecasts, predictions and threats of thunderstorms, straight line
winds and tornadoes will start and be abundant on the local tele-
vision channels throughout the rest of the summer. The best rem-
edy for local and area residents is to ignore the long-range fore-
casts and take their chances with the same-day predictions.

One day a little girl was sitting
and watching her mother do the
dishes at the kitchen sink.
She suddenly noticed that her
mother had several strands of white
hair sticking out in contrast to her
brunette hair. She looked at her
mother and inquisitively asked,
“Why is some of your hair white,
Mommy?’
Her mother replied, “Well, every
time that you do something wrong
and make me cry or unhappy, one of
my hairs turns white.”
The little girl thought about this
revelation for a while and then
gasped, “Oh, Mommy, how come
all of Grandma’s hair is white?”

We live in an interconnected
world. Energy, cars, televisions,
clothes and much more are traded
among the countries. There are posi-
tives with global trade. If we can't
get a good price at home then we
can shop elsewhere. Shopping is as
easy today as clicking on a comput-
er webpage.
Competition keeps everyone on
his toes. I've noticed in the last few
years that a lot of my shirts are com-
ing from Mexico, Vietnam and any
place except the United States it
seems. Years ago we laughed when
we looked at little transistor radios
that said made in Hong Kong. We
didn' t laugh very long as now it
seems that everything electronic is
made over "there" somewhere.
Competition grows as we import
food, furniture, billions of dollars in
oil and to be redundant, about every-
thing.
As competition stiffens Americans
must decide if we are going to com-
pete. If we don't work harder and
smarter we won't have anything in
America that anybody else wants to
buy. If we are buying everything
from someplace else then who is
buying our stuff made in America?
If we are not selling our stuff made
here then we will quit making or
growing anything. Eventually we
won't have any money in this coun-
try and China or Japan will not pay
our Social Security or medical bills.
We need to regain our independ-
ence in America. We need to use all
of our energy including oil, coal,
solar, wind and natural gas. We need
to stop buying all foreign oil. We
need to grow our own food and
catch our own fish. We need to bring
our jobs back to America. It's time
that we made that attractive to all
the corporations that we've lost. It
would benefit all of us for our jobs
to come home.
We need to secure our borders.
We can't take care of all the illegals
coming into this country because we
are struggling to take care of our-
selves. We need to get control of
those who pilfer our government
money. This includes public univer-
sities who charge exorbitant tuition
rates because most of the tuition is
either paid by taxpayers or student
loans that bury young adults. Med-
ical providers sock it to the system
as they bill Medical payers more
than most Americans could ever
pay.
We are spiraling out of control in
America. In the meantime our Veter-
ans are dying from poor medical
care and our active soldiers worry if
they'll even have a retirement or
medical care after serving our coun-
try.
While our country struggles, Con-
gress can't agree on anything except
paying themselves more while too
many Americans are drowning in
the pond of "Me, My, Mine and I."
America will make it but it will be
on the backs of those who are will-
ing to dream, work and compete.
Those are the people that carved out
this wonderful place of opportunity
and liberty over 200 years ago.
Those are the same people who will
keep this country going.

columnist and author.
Celebrating the 4th, who will keep America going?
By Lee H. Hamilton
Like other federal scandals before
it, the mess involving VA hospitals
has followed a well-trod path. First
comes the revelation of misdoing.
Then comes the reaction: a shocked
public, an administration on the de-
fensive, grandstanding members of
Congress. Finally, major reform
bills get introduced, debated, then
put aside when the heat dies down,
or the target agency gets more
money thrown at the problem.
With the VA, we’re at the reform
part of the cycle. The House and
Senate have each passed their own
legislation to fix the VA’s health sys-
tem, including a massive infusion of
money — at least $50 billion a year
— to allow veterans to seek private
health care. Fiscal watchdogs are
crying foul, and the measures have
ignited a furious debate over
whether Congress should cut other
programs. In its rush to address pub-
lic outrage, Congress is proposing
dramatic changes that could have
benefited from more thorough con-
sideration.
The irony is that this need not
have happened — not with the VA,
nor with the IRS or FEMA, or any
of the other cases in recent years
where the federal bureaucracy
proved to be dysfunctional and Con-
gress rushed in with a half-baked
fix. Mostly what is needed is for
Congress to do its job properly in
the first place.
This means exercising its over-
sight responsibilities and catching
problems before they mushroom.
Diligent oversight can repair unre-
sponsive bureaucracies, expose mis-
conduct, and help agencies and de-
partments become more effective. A
lot of federal employees are doing
good work, including at the VA;
Congress needs to encourage that
work while ridding the government
of shoddy practices.
To do this, it first needs to know
what’s happening. Each committee
and subcommittee with oversight re-
sponsibility should be keeping track
— on a close, even intimate basis —
of the department and agencies in its
purview. Performance, budget, per-
sonnel, management challenges,
major and minor problems: mem-
bers of Congress ought to be experts
on them all. They should also listen
carefully to their constituents and in-
terest groups focused on the per-
formance of a particular agency,
which are often in a position to give
Congress valuable information. Un-
derstanding the facts, working coop-
eratively with the federal agency,
and anticipating problems is a far
more useful approach than Con-
gress’s usual pattern of throwing up
its hands at a scandal and blaming
everyone else for the problem. The
crush of demand for VA services in
the wake of two wars was easily
foreseeable. Had Congress been on
its toes, it could have reacted to it.
Congress must also get serious
about reforming the federal bureau-
cracy. It needs to be careful not to
indulge in bureaucrat-bashing, but
federal managers do need more flex-
ibility with personnel systems than
they currently enjoy. Federal em-
ployees deserve to feel they’re being
listened to, respected, and treated
fairly, but management also must
have flexibility to hire and fire, and
to handle personnel problems proac-
tively. Congress also has to insist
that these agencies are training, re-
cruiting and retaining the necessary
talent.
These are immense agencies. The
VA is the nation’s largest health-care
system. In 2012, it dealt with 83.6
million outpatient visits. Its pro-
posed budget for 2015 is $164 bil-
lion, and it employs more than
300,000 people. This is work on a
scale most of us can barely imagine.
Mistakes are bound to happen.
This may be an argument for thor-
oughgoing administrative reform,
but it is also a fact Congress can’t
ignore: if it wants federal agencies
to work better, it has to work tire-
lessly to understand problems and
address them before they explode.
Does the agency have adequate re-
sources? How can it control bloat
and tighten the gap between the peo-
ple at the top and people on the front
line? Are there problems that need
addressing right now? Congress
cannot eliminate politics from this
oversight process, but politics
should not drive the whole oversight
enterprise.
The point is that many failures of
the federal bureaucracy can be
avoided with robust congressional
oversight. It’s a crucial part of im-
proving the performance of govern-
ment, and Congress has a duty to get
ahead of problems, not lag constant-
ly behind. Unless it’s willing to ac-
cept its responsibility for diligent
oversight, the next scandal is only a
matter of time.

Center on Congress at Indiana Uni-
versity. He was a member of the

History
The Fourth of July is one
of the most stressful and po-
tentially dangerous times of
the year for pets. While you
and your family, friends, and
neighbors are celebrating the
holiday with fireworks, pets
are finding these festive ac-
tivities anything but celebra-
tory.
Many pet parents assume
that if their pet is not afraid of
thunder or other loud noises,
they will not be bothered by
fireworks. This is not neces-
sarily true. Even pets who
normally are not bothered by
thunder and other loud noises
are often frightened and pan-
icked by the cumulative ef-
fects of the fireworks, the ex-
cited voices outside, and
being left alone inside the
house.
If pets are left outside and
unattended, the noise and rau-
cousness often drives them to
run away. In fact, the July 4th
holiday is a very busy time
for animal shelters across the
U.S. They report taking in a
higher number dogs that run
off during firework festivi-
ties. In addition, many police
stations log higher volumes
of stray dog calls and barking
complaints on July 4th com-
pared to any other day of the
year.
By planning ahead and tak-
ing some common sense pre-
cautions, you can help ensure
your pet is happy and safe
this Fourth of July.
Do not take your pet to
fireworks displays.
Do not leave your pet alone
in the car. With only hot air to
breathe inside a car, your pet
can suffer serious health ef-
fects even death in a few
short minutes. Partially
opened windows do not pro-
vide sufficient air, but they do
provide an opportunity for
your pet to be stolen. Howev-
er, if your pet is most com-
fortable in the car, some pet
parents find that driving
around with their pet in the
car helps to calm their pet.
Keep your pets in your
home in a comfortable and
quiet area with the shades
drawn. If your pet is crate
trained, then their crate is a
great choice. Some animals
can become destructive when
frightened, so be sure that
you' ve removed any items
that your pet could destroy or
that would be harmful to your
pet if chewed. Leave a televi-
sion or radio playing at nor-
mal volume to keep your pet
company while you're attend-
ing Fourth of July picnics,
parades, and other celebra-
tions.
If you know that your pet
is seriously distressed by loud
noises like thunder, consult
with your veterinarian before
July 4th for ways to help alle-
viate the fear and anxiety he
or she will experience during
fireworks displays.
If your pet seeks comfort
in a bath tub, under a bed or
other small space...let them.
Do not try to lure them out.
If the space is safe and it
makes them feel more secure,
let them be.
Never leave pets outside
unattended, even in a fenced
yard or on a chain. In their
fear, pets who normally
wouldn't leave the yard may
escape and become lost, or
become entangled in their
chain, risking injury or death.
Make sure your pets are
wearing identification tags so
that if they do become lost,
they can be returned prompt-
ly. Animals found running at-
large should be taken to the
local animal shelter, where
they will have the best chance
of being reunited with their
owners.

June 28, 1934
Louis Kill, Editor
The occasional showers of the
past few weeks have done much
to relieve the drought situation
in Sibley County. The corn crop,
especially, is coming along in
splendid shape, and small grains
took a new lease on life. Pas-
tures also benefitted to such an
extent that they provided some
feed and as a result no cattle had
to be taken out of our communi-
ty to other feeding grounds. We
understand, however that a few
of our farmers took advantage
of the Federal Emergency Serv-
ice and disposed of a few head
of cattle.
Sunday, July 1 will be a day
of jubilation for the members of
St. John’s Lutheran Church of
Arlington Township, the oldest
Lutheran Church in Sibley
County; the day marks the dia-
mond anniversary of her congre-
gation. This fact will be fittingly
observed by three commemora-
tive services to which fellow
Christians and friends are here-
with cordially invited.
Officer Herman Stahl and
Tom Burke, local restaurateur,
went to Wright County Saturday
and cleared up a mysterious slot
machine robbery which oc-
curred here several weeks ago.
On the night of June 11, a thief
entered the Burke restaurant in
this city and got away with one
of the slot machines by cutting
the heavy chain with which it
was fastened to the counter. Mr
Burke discovered the robbery
the next morning but there were
no clues which would lead to
the identity of the thief. Other
places along the line were
robbed of slot machines the
same night, among them soft
drink parlors at Winthrop, Gib-
bon and Morton. Hearing that a
slot machine bandit had been
apprehended at Montrose last
week and lodged in the county
jail in Buffalo, the local men
went there to investigate. After
considerable questioning, the
prisoner who gave his name as
Stall, confessed to being impli-
cated in the theft here and other
places that night.

The spring of 1953 saw the
erection of a 62x38-foot con-
crete block building in northeast
Arlington by the Nagel Packing
Company. This year Arlington’s
newest industry has branched
out to include the packaging and
bunching of radishes. The
owner of the business is 25
year-old Melvin Nagel.
This paper heard rather belat-
edly this week of the death of
Adam Didra, a former owner of
the Enterprise, who passed away
in Washington D. C. on June
8th. Mr. Didra owned the Enter-
prise in partnership with A. C.
Buck from 1910 to 1915 when
he sold out to the latter and took
a position in the government
printing office in Washington.
Deceased was a native of Hen-
derson, where he learned the
printing trade and later was em-
ployed at the Mankato Free
Press. He was about 80 years of
age.
A business transaction was
closed this past week through
which the B. & M. Bar was sold
to Mrs. Fred Schultz. The bar
was formerly owned by Barney
and Margaret Winterfeldt.

A ten-year-old Arlington boy
was rescued from High Island
Creek by his brother, according
to the Sibley County Sheriff’s
Department. Jonathan Mc-
Cormick, 10, was walking his
bike across the railroad trestle
near Arlington Food N’ Fuel
when the incident occurred.
Jonathan, authorities said, fell
into the creek after his bike
started to slip from the railroad
trestle and he attempted to grab
it. Jonathan’s brother, Wayne Jr.,
13, and their friend, Dylan
Lueth, 11, who were also walk-
ing their bikes across the rail-
road trestle, immediately reacted
to the situation. Wayne Jr. ran
down to the bank, jumped into
the creek and pulled Jonathan to
shore, authorities said. Wayne
Jr. then blew in Jonathan’s
mouth and pushed on his stom-
ach while Lueth ran to Food N’
Fuel for assistance. Jonathan
was taken by the Arlington Am-
bulance to the Arlington Munic-
ipal Hospital. He sustained
bumps and scrapes and was held
for observation.
The grand opening for the
AmberField Place Apartments
of Arlington will be held in the
community room of the senior
building at 822 West Main
Street from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources reports
a major drop in drunken boat-
ing arrests and accidents
around the state.
So far this year, 10 people
have been arrested for boat-
ing while intoxicated BWI on
Minnesota waters — com-
pared to more than 20 arrests
this time last year.
In 2013, 89 people were ar-
rested for BWI compared to
158 in 2012— a 50 percent
drop.
And one of the three boat-
ing fatalities in 2014 has been
alcohol related.
Alcohol use was a factor in
about 8 percent of fatal boat-
ing accidents in 2013 com-
pared to 33 percent in 2012.
“We have zero tolerance
for anyone found operating a
boat under the influence of
alcohol or drugs on our wa-
ters,” said Capt. Greg Salo,
DNR enforcement, central re-
gion manager. “Drinking al-
cohol and boating has seri-
ous, even deadly, conse-
quences and our goal is to
make sure everyone makes it
home after a day on the
water.”
Weather has played a role
in the decline in alcohol-re-
lated incidents, he said. Due
to a late spring, in combina-
tion with heavy rains, fewer
boaters are on the water. But
boaters are also making safe
decisions. DNR conservation
officers and water patrol
deputies are seeing more
boaters with designated sober
operators.
Operating a boat with a
blood alcohol level of .08 or
higher is against the law.
Boaters caught operating
under the influence will find
their day on the water come
to an end and their boat will
be impounded. Additional
penalties can include arrest,
fines and loss of boating priv-
ileges.
DNR: Drop in drunken boating arrests and accidents
For ground-nesting birds,
high-water levels present an-
other threat to their survival,
the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources said.
In southern Minnesota,
grassland ground-nesting
birds like pheasants, mead-
owlarks, dickcissels,
bobolinks, native sparrows,
and ground-nesting ducks like
the blue-winged teal lay their
eggs on or near the ground.
When nests become sub-
merged, the eggs get too cold
and incubation is aborted. If
there are very small chicks al-
ready in the nest, they too
could become too cold and
wet and die from hypothermia
or drowning.
“Wet conditions during
nesting times are always
rough, but this year has been
an exceptionally difficult
one,” said Carrol Henderson,
Nongame Wildlife Program
supervisor. “After the long,
cold winter we had, the birds
didn’t have much time to take
advantage of mild, dry condi-
tions they need for success.”
If the nests are flooded be-
fore the eggs hatch, the birds
will likely re-nest and hatch a
brood of young later in the
summer. If the chicks have al-
ready hatched and die from
exposure from being soaked
by the rains, the birds typical-
ly will not re-nest and they are
done for the year.
Early-nesting waterfowl
like Canada geese and Trum-
peter swans should be hatched
by now and the young should
be old enough to survive high-
er water conditions. However,
overall it is a tough year for
ground-nesting wildlife as
well as for the farmers,
landowners, and communities
affected by the heavy rains.

Bituminous Seal Coat – 2014
City of Arlington
Arlington, Minnesota
Sealed bids for the construction of a bituminous seal
coat project will be received at the Office of the City Ad-
ministrator, City of Arlington, 204 Shamrock Drive, Ar-
lington, MN 55307 until 11:00 a.m. on July 17, 2014.
The bids should be in a lump sum (not-to-exceed)

st
at 6:30 p.m. for
bid acceptance.
The work to be done consists of the construction of bitu-
minous seal coat on streets and public parking lots with-

City reserves the right to select a specific amount of
streets to be ‘fog sealed’ and not required to fog seal the
entire 2014 project limits.
All bids delivered to the City of Arlington become prop-
erty of the City. All bids must be signed by the individ-
ual. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids
and to waive any irregularities and informalities therein

served thereby. For additional information, or to set up a
time to inspect the streets, contact Maintenance Supervi-
sor Tony Voigt at (507) 380-6533.

The Minnesota Medical As-
sociation is advising Min-
nesotans to stay safe this
Fourth of July holiday by
leaving the lighting of fire-
works to the professionals.
“Every year, too many chil-
dren and adults are hurt by
fireworks that go off unex-
pectedly,” said MMA Presi-
dent Cindy Firkins Smith,
M.D. “Young people suffer
eye and hand injuries from
fireworks each summer. It’s
better to celebrate Independ-
ence Day by watching fire-
work displays set off by ex-
perts.”
On average 200 people go
to the emergency room every
day with fireworks-related in-
juries in the month surround-
ing the Fourth of July, accord-
ing to 2011 data from the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety
Commission. Forty-six per-
cent of those injuries are to
hands and fingers; 17 percent
to eyes. And it’s not just the
large fireworks that are hurt-
ing people. Seventeen percent
of the injuries were the result
of seemingly harmless
sparklers.
“The MMA would prefer
that fireworks not even be
available but as long as they
are around we encourage
everyone to use extreme cau-
tion,” Smith said.
Stay away from fireworks on the 4th
When working on outdoor
home projects, Great River
Energy urges homeowners to
be aware of underground haz-
ards associated with digging.
Underground power lines
can be just as dangerous as
overhead power lines. Avoid
serious injury and property
damage by calling 811 before
you dig to have underground
facilities marked. Striking an
underground facility can lead
to personal injury, repair
costs, penalties, delays and in-
convenient outages.
• Minnesota state law re-
quires everyone who intends
to excavate to contact Gopher
State One Call at 811 or 1-
800-252-1166 at least two full
working days in advance. The
law is designed to protect you,
your underground utilities and
the public, and is a free serv-
ice.
• During those 48 hours, the
utility companies will mark
the approximate location of
their facilities.
• It is your responsibility to
dig in a careful and prudent
manner. If you damage a line,
you may be financially re-
sponsible for repairs.
You may also submit your
dig information at gophersta-
teonecall.org/submit.
Safety is a shared responsi-
bility. Marking underground
utilities before digging and
digging with caution helps
protect you, your family and
your neighbors, and keeps
your community safe and con-
nected.

The 49th Biennial Conven-
tion of the WELS Minnesota
District was recently held on
the campus of Martin Luther
College.
This year ’s theme was
“Building the Walls of
Jerusalem.” The focus was on
healthy churches. From the
opening service led by Pro-
fessor Jon Boeder and Pastor
Jeff Limpert, accompanied by
the talents of choir directors
and musicians from MLC and
Minnesota District congrega-
tions, to the presentations
from Professor Alan Sorum,
and Pastors Jon Hein and
Elton Stroh, the emphasis
was on the importance of bas-
ing our plans, stewardship,
and outreach on the Word of
God, so that our congrega-
tions are spiritually healthy.
Delegates were challenged
to address the “elephants in
the room,” that is, to ask the
difficult questions about
needs and stumbling blocks
in our congregations, and to
consider how we might an-
swer those questions and
solve those problems. In re-
sponse to this, Staff Minister
Brandon Steenbock of St.
Paul’s, New Ulm asked: “Are
our churches places where
the unchurched would feel
comfortable, welcome, and
able to understand what is
being done? Or our churches
mostly for the churched?” He
then commented, “I think the
answer to all these questions
is founded on the Gospel –
first leading our people to see
themselves as sinners in des-
perate need of God’s grace,
and seeing God’s grace in
their lives very clearly. But it
cannot just be the hour spent
in the pew on Sunday morn-
ing. We need to find ways to
reach people and families
throughout their week, and
lead them to see their need
for their Savior in all aspects
of life, and to see Jesus is
their Savior, their leader, and
their strength.”
Dr. Gene Pfeifer of St.
Croix Lutheran High School
commented: “I am always en-
couraged by Isaiah 55:11:
‘...so is my word that goes
out from my mouth: It will
not return to me empty, but
will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for
which I sent it.’ I think our
conference did a good job of
keeping us focused on what
it’s all about – being a tool
used by God for his purpose
– the saving of lives eternal-
ly.”
Lay delegate Dale Neyhart
commented on the unity and
spirit of the convention: “The
unity [of the delegates] shows
through as Paul urges us to be
one body in Christ. As it is
written in 1 Corinthians
12:12. “The body is one unit
through its makeup of many
parts. So it is with Christ.
Now you are the body of
Christ, and each one of you is
a member of it.”
Another lay delegate, Dean
Willrett from St. Paul’s,
North Mankato, commenting
on the emphasis of the con-
vention said: “While it is im-
portant to have a long range
plan, it is equally important
to have short term plans that
help us reach our goal. These
plans need to be reevaluated
continuously, and if they are
not working, to discard them
and start new. We need to
trust in the work of the Holy
Spirit (working through the
means of grace) and not put a
stumblingblock in the way.”
One change in the Min-
nesota District was the elec-
tion of a new Second Vice
President, Pastor Dennis
Klatt. Pastor Klatt said: “The
convention reminded me that
ministry planning seldom
bears fruit without action
planning and follow-through.
Good intentions alone do not
result in the gospel being
shared.”
With such encouragement,
delegates were sent on their
way, compelled by the word
of God to make plans which
further the work of God’s
kingdom according to his will
and promise. The fallen walls
of Jerusalem have been re-
built by Christ who with his
sacrificial life and death, has
made us the living stones of
his house, and the servants of
his kingdom.
