The RS Fiber Cooperative
fiber optic broadband initia-
tive officially broke ground
on the project in Sibley
County on Wednesday morn-
ing, July 8. A groundbreaking
ceremony was held along
Sibley County Road 8 be-
tween County Road 17 and
County Road 9 at 9 a.m.
RS Fiber Cooperative Gen-
eral Manager Toby Brummer
said, “We couldn’t be more
excited that the project is un-
derway. It has taken a lot of
work, time and effort by
many individuals to make it
to this point, but all of that
work has finally paid off.
This is a significant achieve-
ment that will benefit the
Renville and Sibley county
residents in so many ways. It
is very satisfying to see fiber
optic cable being installed!”
The RS Fiber Cooperative
and Hiawatha Broadband
Communications, Inc. (HBC)
anticipate offering services
with fiber to approximately
1,600 homes and businesses
and cover 90 percent of the
service area with high-speed
wireless services in late 2015.
By the end of 2016 the num-
ber of homes and businesses
that can be served with fiber
will climb to 4,200. Upon
final completion, the RS
Fiber Cooperative will oper-
ate a fiber optic network for
most of Sibley County and
portions of Renville, Nicollet,
and McLeod Counties.
Over 6,200 potential cus-
tomers will be able to use this
high-speed fiber optic net-
work, which will provide data
speeds that can be over ten
times faster than speeds of-
fered by current service
providers. Construction will
be completed in two phases
over the next five to six years
with Phase One now under-
way. The initial network con-
struction phase is projected to
cost $15 million.
The original project began
in 2012 and was restructured
by the joint-powers board as
a private cooperative, making
it easier to finance and great-
ly lowering financial risk. As
the project was refined, and
the engineering and financial
models revised, the total proj-
ect cost was reduced by over
30 percent. The RS Fiber
project is funded through is-
sued bonds and commercial
loans.
The project is moving for-
ward under the management
of Hiawatha Broadband
Communications. HBC is
overseeing the design, devel-
opment and construction of
the fiber optic network, as
well as day-to-day manage-
ment duties. HBC is an expe-
rienced operator of similarly
designed, rural fiber optic
networks in 17 communities
throughout southeastern Min-
nesota including Red Wing,
Wabasha, Lewiston, Lake
City, Plainview, Dover, Eyota
and Elgin.
HBC’s experience in devel-
oping rural fiber networks
has helped the RS Fiber
Broadband initiative gain mo-
mentum and successfully
reach the groundbreaking
stage. HBC’s expertise has
also helped create the most
efficient project possible.
Formed in 1997, the Winona,
Minnesota-based HBC helps
foster economic advancement
in communities throughout
Minnesota with fiber optic
technology for television, In-
ternet and telephone services.

Construction Continues
Construction continues on the 2015 Utility & Street Improve-
ment Project in Arlington. This picture was taken near the in-
tersection of West Elgin Street and Second Avenue Northwest.
The project is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 1.

Arlington residents are re-
minded that a new stop sign
will soon be erected at the
corner of Henderson Road
and First Avenue South.
There are currently stop
signs at two sides of this in-
tersection. A third stop sign is
being added for safety rea-
sons. It will eventually be an
all-way stop.
The City Council, last
month, made the move after a
recommendation from Police
Chief Cory Danner and
Streets Superintendent Tony
Voigt.
The city intends to place a
flag on top of the new stop
sign to draw attention to it.
Since motorists will not be
used to the new stop sign,
City Council member Galen
Wills also suggested that the
police department issue only
warnings at that location for
the first 60 days.
Grand Opening
The Prairie Line Trail
Committee plans to host a
grand opening for phase two
of the Prairie Line Trail
sometime in August.
The trail runs from the Ar-
lington community out to the
Arlington Sportsmen’s Park.
The trail is open and has
already been a popular place
for walkers, runners, bikers
and rollerbladers.
Other Business
City Administrator Liza
Donabauer announced that a
special meeting for a budget
workshop will be held at 5
p.m. Monday, July 20.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Mon-
day, July 20.

The Arlington City
Council, during a regular
meeting that lasted a little
over 30 minutes, voted 4-0
and adopted a resolution
to authorize the City of
Arlington to enter into an
agreement with U.S. Bank
for a commercial credit
card.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim
Heiland, Jennifer Nuesse
and Galen Wills all voted
in favor of the resolution.
City Council member
James Jaszewski had a
prior commitment and was
unable to attend the meet-
ing.
The City Council, dur-
ing a regular meeting last
October, unanimously ap-
proved a credit card poli-
cy, according to City Ad-
ministrator Liza Don-
abauer.
Partial Payment
The City Council voted
4-0 and approved a motion
to approve a partial pay-
ment of $262,658.86 to
W. M. Mueller & Sons,
Hamburg, in conjunction
with the 2015 Utility &
Street Improvement Proj-
ect.
Concerns
Local resident Curt
Reetz, who served on the
City Council for several
years, was in attendance at
the meeting and expressed
concerns over the slopi-
ness in conjunction with
the 2015 Utility & Street
Improvement Project.
Prior to the recent heavy
rain, Reetz said a tempo-
rary cover was placed over
a manhole and water ran
into the sanitary sewer.
He also voiced concerns
that the construction crews
have not kept an eye on
the barricades which have
been tipped over.
In addition, Reetz be-
lieved the project is be-
hind schedule and the City
Council should deal with
any delays now and not
near the completion date.
The City Council, later
in the meeting, discussed
this concern and informal-
ly authorized Donabauer
to contact the general con-
tractor about the matter.
Other
Business
The City Council voted
4-0 and approved a motion
to approve the annual rate
and service agreement
from the Sibley County
Library System. The rate
is $21.30 per hour for nine
hours per week.
Donabauer also an-
nounced that the MMPA
annual summer meeting
will be held in Le Sueur at
5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July
28.
The City Council also
reviewed a letter written
by local resident Lorraine
Bliss about the poor road
conditions in the Arlington
Sportsmen’s Park.
A copy of that letter is
reprinted on page 4 in this
week’s edition of the Ar-
lington Enterprise.
The City Council, in an-
other matter, adopted a
resolution to transfer and
close city funds.
Under this resolution,
$56, 832 will be trans-
ferred from the General
Fund to the 2008 Equip-
ment Certificate and
$19,968 from the Sewer
Fund to the 2008 Equip-
ment Certificate to cover
debt service payments as
budgeted; $147,811 from
the General Fund to the
Capital Equipment Fund
and $3, 000 from the
Cemetery Fund to the
Capital Equipment Fund
to fund 2015 projects as
budgeted; $17,864 from
the Medical Center Lease
Revenue to the General
Fund which is the city’s
portion of the joint com-
munity education/recre-
ation coordinator position;
$87,55 from the Medical
Center Lease Revenue to
the Capital Equipment
Fund to cover a variety of
healthy living initiatives;
and $28,521.74 from the
General Fund to Safe
Routes to cover engineer-
ing fees which were not
reimbursed by the Safe
Routes to School grant.
This latest action will
close that fund.

Walleyes
Trevor Schrupp, above, and Mariah Schrupp, left, caught
these walleyes on Lake Miltona during a good early evening
of fishing. Trevor’s walleye measured 22 inches while Mari-
ah’s fish was 18 inches long.
Most older people are inde-
pendent. But later in life es-
pecially in the 80s and 90s,
you or someone you know
may begin to need help with
everyday activities like shop-
ping, cooking, walking, or
bathing. For many people,
regular or "long-term" care
may mean a little help from
family and friends or regular
visits by a home health aide.
For others who are frail or
suffering from dementia,
long-term care may involve
moving to a place where pro-
fessional care is available 24
hours a day.
The good news is that fam-
ilies have more choices in
long-term care than ever be-
fore. Today, services can pro-
vide the needed help while
letting you stay active and
connected with family,
friends, and neighbors. These
services include home health
care, adult day care, and
transportation services for
frail seniors as well as foster
care, assisted living and re-
tirement communities, and
traditional nursing homes.
Planning Ahead
The key to successful long-
term care is planning. You or
your family may need to
make a decision in a hurry,
often after an unexpected
emergency like a broken hip.
Be prepared by getting infor-
mation ahead of time. That
way, you will know what's
available and affordable be-
fore there is a crisis. To start:
• If you are having trouble
with things like bathing, man-
aging finances, or driving,
talk with your doctor and
other health care profession-
als about your need for help.
• If you are helping a fami-
ly member or friend, talk
about the best way to meet
his or her needs. If you need
help for yourself, talk with
your family. For instance, if
you are having trouble mak-
ing your meals, do you want
meals delivered by a local
program or would you like
family and friends to help?
Would you let a paid aide in
your home? If you don' t
drive, would you like a friend
or bus service to take you to
the doctor or other appoint-
ments?
• Learn about the types of
services and care in your
community. Doctors, social
workers, and others who see
you for regular care may have
suggestions.
• Find out how you may or
may not be covered by insur-
ance. The Federal Medicare
program and private "Medi-
gap" insurance only offer
short-term home health and
nursing home benefits.
Be aware that figuring out
care for the long term isn't
easy. Needs may change over
time. What worked 6 months
ago may no longer apply. In-
surance coverage is often
very limited and families may
have problems paying for
services. In addition, rules
about programs and benefits
change, and it's hard to know
from one year to the next
what may be available.
A Need For More Care
At some point, support
from family, friends, or local
meal or transportation pro-
grams may not be enough. If
you need a lot of help with
everyday activities, you may
need to move to a place
where care is available
around-the-clock. There are
two types of residential care:
• Assisted living arrange-
ments are available in large
apartment or hotel-like build-
ings or can be set up as
"board and care" homes for a
small number of people.
They offer different levels of
care, but often include meals,
recreation, security, and help
with bathing, dressing, med-
ication, and housekeeping. ·
• Skilled nursing facilities
also known as "nursing
homes” provide 24-hour serv-
ices and supervision. They
provide medical care and re-
habilitation for residents, who
are mostly very frail or suffer
from the later stages of de-
mentia. Sometimes, health
care providers offer different
levels of care at one site.
These "continuing care com-
munities" often locate an as-
sisted living facility next to a
nursing home so that people
can move from one type of
care to another if necessary.
Several offer programs for
couples, trying to meet needs
when one spouse is doing
well but the other has become
disabled.
Finding The Right Place
To find the residential pro-
gram that's best for you:
• Ask questions. Find out
about specific facilities in
your area. Doctors, friends
and relatives, local hospital
discharge planners and social
workers, and religious organi-
zations can help. Other types
of residential arrangements,
like "board and care" homes,
do not follow the same Feder-
al, state, or local licensing re-
quirements or regulations as
nursing homes. Talk to peo-
ple in your community or
local social service agencies
to find out which facilities
seem to be well run.
• Call. Contact the places
that interest you. Ask basic
questions about vacancies,
number of residents, costs
and method of payment, and
participation in Medicare and
Medicaid. Also think about
what's important to you, such
as transportation, meals,
housekeeping, activities, spe-
cial units for Alzheimer's dis-
ease, or medication policies.

Story Hour In Green Isle
These children played Three Billy Goats Gruff
during the Story Hour event in Green Isle on
Tuesday morning, July 7. Front Row: (left to
right) Ava Bruegger, Parker Sprengeler and
Aleah Parrott. Back Row: Preston Sprengeler
(troll). In Green Isle, the Story Hour is held in
the Community Room from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
every Tuesday and Thursday. In Arlington, the
Story Hour is held in the Senior Citizens Build-
ing at Four Seasons Park from 10 a.m. to 11
a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
• Visit. When you find a
place that seems right, go talk
to the staff, residents, and, if
possible, family members of
residents. Set up an appoint-
ment, but also go unan-
nounced and at different times
of the day. See if the staff
treats residents with respect
and tries to meet the needs of
each person. Check if the
building is clean and safe. Are
residents restrained in any
way? Are social activities and
exercise programs offered--
and enjoyed? Do residents
have personal privacy? Is the
facility secure for people and
their belongings? Eat a meal
there to see if you like the
food.
• Understand. Once you
have made a choice, be sure
you understand the facility's
contract and financial agree-
ment. It's a good idea to have
a lawyer look them over be-
fore you sign.
A Smooth Transition
Moving from home to a
long-term care facility or
nursing home is a big change.
It affects the whole family.
Some facilities or community
groups have a social worker
who can help you prepare for
the change. Allow some time
to adjust after the move has
taken place.
Regular visits by family and
friends are important. They
can be reassuring and com-
forting. Visits are necessary,
too, for keeping an eye on the
care that is being given.

formation on “Planning for
Long-Term Care” feel free to

Opinions
Republicans have a
crowded field of
presidential candidates
Our View: Large number is good for democracy,
but will scatter votes and support
Letter To The Editor
Guest Columns
Years ago, it was a big deal when politicians an-
nounced their candidacy to run for president of the
United States. This year, in the Republican Party, it is
almost a daily occurrence. The field is getting so
crowded that the average person almost needs a score-
card to keep track of all the candidates.
The large number of candidates is good for democra-
cy, but not so good for the Republican Party.
Unlike the Democratic Party, there is no clear front
runner in the Republican Party. Candidates in this
crowded field will need to use additional resources and
no doubt beat up on each other during the primaries.
Another fear is that candidates could adopt radical
opinions on various issues in an attempt to distinguish
themselves from other candidates. This could turn the
primaries into a circus.
The Republican Party will also have a debate prob-
lem. It will be a challenge to arrange as many as 20
candidates on a single stage for debates which will
start in August. The Republican Party will need to con-
sider certain criteria, such as poll numbers and
fundraising, to qualify for debates.
In the long run, the large number of candidates will
scatter votes and any support for one person that
everyone can get behind.

After losing another tooth, eight-
year-old Timmy became more curi-
ous about the elusive tooth fairy.
Finally putting two and two to-
gether, he came right out and asked
his mother, “Mom, are you the tooth
fairy?”
Assuming he was old enough to
hear the truth, she replied, “Yes, I
am.”
Timmy seemed to take this news
quite well. But as he headed for the
door, he slowly turned back toward
his mother with a curious look on his
face and said, “Wait a minute. How
do you get into the other kids’
houses?”
*****
Eight-year-old Sally brought her
report card home from school.
Her grades were good — mostly
A’s and a couple of B’s. However,
her teacher had written across the
bottom: “Sally is a smart little girl,
but she has one fault. She talks too
much in school. I have an idea I am
going to try, which I think may
break her of the habit.”
Sally’s dad signed her report
card, putting a note on the back:
“Sally gets it from her mother.
Please let me know if your idea
works.”
*****
At a wedding rehearsal, the minis-
ter told the father of the bride, “As
you give your daughter’s hand to the
bridegroom, you should say some-
thing nice to him.”
The father, a grocery store man-
ager, took the advice. During the
wedding ceremony, he placed the
bride’s hand on his son-in-law’s
arm and said, “No deposit, no re-
turn.”

Sam walks into his boss’s office.
“Sir, I’ll be straight with you, I know
the economy isn’t great, but I have
over three companies after me, and I
would like to respectfully ask for a
raise.”
After a few minutes of haggling,
the boss finally agrees to a five-per-
cent raise, and Sam happily gets up
to leave.
”By the way,” asks the boss as
Sam is getting up, “which three
companies are after you?”
“The electric company, water
company, and phone company,”
Sam replies.

The Smiths were proud of their
family tradition. Their ancestors had
come to America on the Mayflower.
They had included Senators and
Wall Street wizards.
They decided to compile a family
history, a legacy for their children
and grandchildren. They hired a fine
author. Only one problem arose -
how to handle that great-uncle
George, who was executed in the
electric chair.
The author assured the family he
could handle the story as tactfully as
possible and was given the go-ahead
to write the book.
The book appeared. It said
“Great-uncle George occupied a
chair of applied electronics at an
important government institution
and was attached to his position
by the strongest of ties. His death
came as a great shock.”

By Lee H. Hamilton
Members of Congress get catego-
rized in all sorts of ways. They’re
liberal or conservative; Republican
or Democrat; interested in domestic
affairs or specialists in foreign poli-
cy.
There’s one very important cate-
gory, though, that I never hear dis-
cussed: whether a member wants to
be an inside player or an outside
player. Yet where members fall on
the continuum helps to shape the in-
stitution of Congress.
First, I should say that the cate-
gories are not hard and fast. Some
politicians are insiders part of the
time and outsiders at other times.
Still, most fall on one side of the
line or other, especially as they go
on in their careers.
Insiders focus on making the in-
stitution work. They tend to give
fewer speeches on the floor, issue
fewer press releases, and spend less
time considering how to play the
public relations game or how to
raise money. Instead, they put in
long, tedious hours on the minutiae
of developing legislation, attending
hearings, listening to experts, ex-
ploring policy options, and working
on building consensus. They’re ded-
icated to finding support for a bill or
a set of proposals wherever they
can, and they appreciate the necessi-
ty of bipartisanship.
They’re constantly engaged in
networking and so tend to be popu-
lar within the Congress —they have
the respect of their colleagues be-
cause other members know these are
the people who make the institution
move forward. They’re the ones
who do the necessary work of legis-
lating.
Outsiders pass through the institu-
tion of Congress, but many of them
are using Congress — and especial-
ly the House of Representatives —
as a stepping-stone to another office:
the Senate, a governorship, the pres-
idency.
On Capitol Hill, these people be-
have very differently from insiders.
They raise money aggressively, put
a lot of effort into developing a pub-
lic persona, and are consumed with
public relations. They travel a lot
and take every opportunity they can
to meet and address conferences and
large organizations. They churn out
press releases and speak on the floor
on every topic they can find some-
thing to deliver an opinion about.
They miss votes more frequently
than insiders, and often do not at-
tend committee hearings. They tend
not to socialize with other members,
and so generally are not as popular
as insiders. When they do attend a
committee hearing, they use it as a
platform to help them build a con-
stituency beyond their own district
or state. They tend to be more parti-
san than insiders, because they are
seeking to build a political base.
They’re often impatient with House
and Senate traditions, and are impa-
tient with the democratic process.
I remember late one night — actu-
ally, it was more like 3:00 or 4:00 in
the morning— standing behind the
rail of the House talking with a
charismatic, charming congressman
from the South. He’d been in the
House for only a term or two, and
was chagrined at the parliamentary
tangle we were working our way
through that night. “Lee,” he said,
“how can you stand this place? I’m
going to go home and run for gover-
nor!” And he did.
I want to be clear that I’m not
making a judgment here as to which
kind of member is more valuable. I
may prefer to spend my time with
insiders, but both are needed to
make the system work. You have to
have members reaching out to the
broader public, talking about the big
issues and engaging Americans in
the issues of the day. And you need
people on the inside who are dedi-
cated to resolving those issues by at-
tending to the legislation that will
make this possible.
The truth is, Congress wouldn’t
work if everyone were an outside
player. The process is tedious: espe-
cially when you’re trying to draft a
bill, you get into arcane arguments
over language; you have to go line
by line over the bill and each
amendment. Outsiders have little pa-
tience for this process, and often
don’t show up for it.
Yet if everyone were an insider,
the country would be deprived of
the dialogue, debate, and sheer spec-
tacle that give Americans a sense of
stake and participation in the policy-
making process.

To The Editor,
We recently took a drive to see the
new hiking trail, new bridges and
road out to the Sportsmen’s Park.
Very nice. However, the road in the
park is very bad shape - full of low
spots and very bumpy.
With all the money spent to up-
grade the road to the park, couldn’t
some money be spent on the road in
the park?
Thanks for listening.

Anglers are never far from
a lake where they can catch
walleye in Minnesota. Fish
stocking keeps it that way.
Stocking walleyes involves
taking eggs from waters that
have reproducing walleye
populations and releasing
newly hatched fry or small
walleye fingerlings into lakes
that don’t have reproducing
populations.
The Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources pays for
its stocking effort with fish-
ing license and walleye stamp
dollars. This year, the process
started April 8 in the Pike
River near Tower, used eight
egg-take sites and ended
April 26 in Fergus Falls.
Curious about walleye
stocking? Here’s a snapshot,
by the numbers.
2015 stocking effort
Eggs taken: 4,655 quarts of
eggs, or 582 million eggs,
close to the 10-year average.
2015 stocking plan: 286
rearing ponds get 115 million
fry and 272 lakes get 296
million fry. The goal for fin-
gerling stocking is about
140,000 pounds.
General walleye
stocking stats
Length of a walleye fry:
about 1/3-inch.
Length of a walleye finger-
ling: 4- to 6-inches.
Lakes stocked with walleye
(each lake usually every other
year): about 1,050, all over
the state.
Lakes where, without any
stocking, anglers could still
catch walleye: 260, mostly in
the northern half of the state.
Estimated percentage of
walleye harvested that result
from natural reproduction: 85
percent, with about half from
popular walleye lakes like
Lake of the Woods, Leech,
Red and Winnibigoshish.
Cost of an easy way to sup-
port walleye stocking: $5, to
buy a walleye stamp, sold
wherever Minnesota hunting
and fishing licenses are sold.
Stocking other fish
The DNR also rears and
stocks catfish, muskellunge,
lake sturgeon and northern
pike using 11 warm-water
hatcheries; and stream trout,
lake trout and splake in five
cold-water hatcheries. To pro-
vide youth fishing opportuni-
ties in numerous Twin Cities
metro area lakes, the agency
stocks bluegill, channel cat-
fish, crappie, largemouth
bass, northern pike, perch and
walleye.

at the DNR Fish Minnesota
page.
Walleye stocking: By the numbers
Minnesota’s breeding mal-
lard population counts are
down from last year while
other species saw increases,
according to the results of the
annual Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
spring waterfowl surveys.
This year’s mallard breed-
ing population was estimated
at 206,000, which is 20 per-
cent below last year’s esti-
mate of 257,000 breeding
mallards, 17 percent below
the recent 10-year average
and 10 percent above the
long-term average measured
since 1968.
The blue-winged teal popu-
lation is 169,000 this year, 66
percent above the 2014 esti-
mate of 102,000, but the pop-
ulation remains 21 percent
below the long-term average
of 212,000 blue-winged teal.
The combined populations
of other ducks, such as ring-
necked ducks, wood ducks,
gadwalls, northern shovelers,
canvasbacks and redheads
was 149,000, which is 29 per-
cent higher than last year and
16 percent below the long-
term average.
The estimate of total duck
abundance (excluding scaup)
was 524,000, similar to last
year’s estimate of 474,000
ducks.
The estimated number of
wetlands was 220,000, down
36 percent from last year, and
13 percent below the long-
term average. Wetland num-
bers can vary greatly based
on annual precipitation.
“We generally expect to
see lower duck numbers dur-
ing dry years. We did see
lower mallard numbers this
year, but blue-winged teal
and other duck numbers were
improved from last year,”
said Steve Cordts, DNR wa-
terfowl specialist. “In addi-
tion to our counts, the conti-
nental waterfowl population
estimates will be released by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service later this summer and
they provide an indicator of
what hunters can expect this
fall.”
The same waterfowl survey
has been conducted each year
since 1968 to provide an an-
nual index of breeding duck
abundance. The survey cov-
ers 40 percent of the state that
includes much of the best re-
maining duck breeding habi-
tat in Minnesota.
A DNR waterfowl biologist
and pilot count all waterfowl
and wetlands along estab-
lished survey routes by flying
low-level aerial surveys from
a fixed-wing plane. The sur-
vey is timed to begin in early
May to coincide with peak
nesting activity of mallards.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service provides ground
crews who also count water-
fowl along some of the same
survey routes. These data are
then used to correct for birds
not seen by the aerial crew.
Canada Geese
This year’s Canada goose
population was estimated at
250,000 geese, which was
similar to last year’s estimate
of 244,000 geese. This
doesn’t include an additional
estimated 17,500 breeding
Canada geese in the Twin
Cities metropolitan area.
“The number of Canada
geese in Minnesota remains
high but the population has
been very stable for many
years. With the early spring
this year, we should see a
good hatch of goslings as
well,” Cordts said.
The number of breeding
Canada geese in the state is
estimated via a helicopter sur-
vey of nesting Canada geese
in April. The survey, which
includes most of the state ex-
cept for the Twin Cities met-
ropolitan area, counts Canada
geese on randomly selected
plots located in prairie, transi-
tion and forested areas.
The DNR will announce
this fall’s waterfowl hunting
regulations later this summer.

Minnesota’s ruffed grouse
spring drumming counts were
unchanged this year com-
pared to last year, according
to a survey conducted by the
Department of Natural Re-
sources.
This follows a significant
increase of 34 percent from
2013 to 2014, said Charlotte
Roy, DNR grouse project
leader. “While it can be tenu-
ous to compare the results of
only one year to the next, we
suspect the cold, wet spring
of 2014 may have hurt grouse
production,” she said. “We
also had comparatively little
snow last year for roosting,
which may have influenced
overwinter survival.”
Drumming is a low sound
produced by males as they
beat their wings rapidly and
in increasing frequency to
signal the location of their
territory. Drumming displays
also attract females that are
ready to begin nesting.
Compared to last year ’s
survey, 2015 survey results
for ruffed grouse showed no
statistical change in all re-
gions of the state. In the
northeast survey region,
which is the core of grouse
range in Minnesota, counts
were 1.3 drums per stop; in
the northwest there were 1.0
drums per stop; in the central
hardwoods, 0.7 drums per
stop; and in the southeast, 0.4
drums per stop.
Ruffed grouse populations,
which tend to rise and fall on
a 10-year cycle, are surveyed
by counting the number of
male ruffed grouse heard
drumming on established
routes throughout the state’s
forested regions. This year
observers recorded 1.1 drums
per stop statewide. The aver-
ages during 2013 and 2014
were 0.9 and 1.1, respective-
ly. Counts vary from about
0.6 drums per stop during
years of low grouse abun-
dance to about 2.0 during
years of high abundance.
Drumming counts are an
indicator of the ruffed grouse
breeding population. The
number of birds present dur-
ing the fall hunting season
also depends upon nesting
success and chick survival
during the spring and sum-
mer. For the past 66 years,
DNR biologists have moni-
tored ruffed grouse popula-
tions. This year, DNR staff
and cooperators from 12 or-
ganizations surveyed 126
routes across the state.
Sharp-tailed grouse
counts remain steady
Statewide sharp-tailed
grouse counts were similar in
2015 compared to 2014 on
both the regional and
statewide levels. Observers
look for male sharptails dis-
playing on traditional mating
areas, called leks or dancing
grounds.
This year’s statewide aver-
age of 9.8 grouse counted per
dancing ground was similar
to the long-term average
since 1980. The 2009 average
of 13.6 was as high as during
any year since 1980. During
the last 25 years, the sharp-
tailed grouse index has been
as low as seven birds counted
per dancing ground.
The DNR’s 2015 grouse
survey report, which contains
information on ruffed grouse
and sharp-tailed grouse, is
available online.

Sibley County FSA
ARCPLC Notification
and Enrollment Process
All producers and
landowners with base acres
on their farm should have re-
ceived a “Notification of
Bases and Yields for
ARC/PLC” in the mail for
every FSA farm number you
have an interest in. You
should review the informa-
tion in the notification and
verify that it is correct. With-
in 30 calendar days of receipt
of the notification, a farm op-
erator, owner, or other pro-
ducer can appeal to FSA in
writing. Appeals are limited
to errors only in the informa-
tion contained on the notifi-
cation and the accuracy of
that information with respect
to the specific farm.
Producers are now able to
enroll their farms for both the
2014 and 2015 crop years.
The enrollment period began
on June 17, 2015 and will end
on September 30, 2015. The
purpose of the annual enroll-
ment is to determine who had
or has a share in the crop,
which will determine who is
to receive the farm’s ARC-
PLC payment for that respec-
tive crop year. Producers will
also be completing eligibility
forms for both the 2014 &
2015 crop years.
County Committee
Nominations Being
Accepted
The Sibley County Com-
mittee is accepting nomina-
tions for a three-year term in
LAA 2. LAA 2 is composed
of New Auburn, Dryden, Ar-
lington, Sibley and Kelso
Townships in Sibley County.
Larry Podratz currently holds
the position and will not be
running again.
County committee mem-
bers are a critical component
of the operations of FSA.
They help deliver FSA farm
programs at the local level.
Farmers who serve on county
committees help with the de-
cisions necessary to adminis-
ter the programs in their
counties. They work to en-
sure FSA agricultural pro-
grams serve the needs of
local producers.
To be eligible to serve on a
FSA county committee, a per-
son must participate or coop-
erate in an agency adminis-
tered program, be eligible to
vote in a county committee
election and reside in the
local administrative area
where they are nominated.
Farmers and ranchers may
nominate themselves or oth-
ers. Organizations represent-
ing minorities and women
also may nominate candi-
dates. To become a candidate,
an eligible individual must
sign an FSA-669A nomina-
tion form. The form and other
information about FSA coun-
ty committee elections are
available at
www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.
Nomination forms for the
2015 election must be post-
marked or received in the
local USDA Service Center
by close of business on Aug.
3, 2015.
FSA will mail election bal-
lots to eligible voters begin-
ning Nov. 9, 2015. Ballots
will be due back to the local
county office either via mail
or in person by Dec. 7, 2015.
Newly elected committee
members and alternates will
take office on Jan. 1, 2016.
While FSA county commit-
tees do not approve or deny
farm ownership or operating
loans, they make decisions on
disaster and conservation pro-
grams, emergency programs,
commodity price support loan
programs and other agricul-
tural issues. Members serve
three-year terms. Nationwide,
there are about 7,800 farmers
and ranchers serving on FSA
county committees. Commit-
tees consist of three to 11
members that are elected by
eligible producers.
