Primary Election is Aug. 12
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City
Council, during its regular
meeting on Monday night,
Aug. 4, unanimously ap-
proved a motion to table
any action on the formation
of a three-person full-time
police department. The City
Council will address the
same issue after a budget
meeting which is scheduled
for Tuesday, Sept. 2.
City Council members
James Jaszewski, Jennifer
Nuesse, Curt Reetz, Jason
Ruehling and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the
motion.
The Arlington Police De-
partment currently has two
full-time officers and a few
part-time officers. At the
present time, however, full-
time police officer Bruce
Rovinsky is on a medical
leave.
The City Council dis-
cussed the same issue three
years ago, according to
City Administrator Liza
Donabauer. At that time,
the additional cost to go
from a two-person to three-
person police department
was approximately
$31,000.
At the present time, the
additional cost to go from a
two-person to three-person
police department could be
as high as approximately
$43,000, according to Don-
abauer.
Prior to the motion to
table, Mayor Jim Kreft said
the City Council could al-
ways start the search for a
third officer now and have
the ability to shut down the
process if the financial
number did not fit into the
budget.
Ruehling was the
strongest supporter among
the City Council members
to speak out in favor of the
three-person police depart-
ment.
New Arlington Police
Chief Cory Danner also
listed four primary reasons
in support of a three-person
police department.
First, the move would
provide more accountabili-
ty within the police depart-
ment. Full-time officers
would have additional own-
ership and pride in their
job.
Second, public safety
would be enhanced as full-
time police officers would
be more visible in the com-
munity. In addition, there
would be greater coverage.
Third, there would be
greater consistency in the
way full-time officers
would handle and follow up
on all calls, traffic stops
and any other interaction
with the public.
Fourth, public interaction
and education would be en-
hanced. With a third full-
time officer, there would be
a greater chance to poten-
tially have an officer
trained in a specialized pro-
gram. In addition, officers
would be more available to
give presentations at
schools and in the commu-
nity.
Other
Business
In other business, Don-
abauer reported that the
City of Arlington is expect-
ed to received $726,233 in
Local Government Aid dur-
ing 2015. That is an
$11,826 increase from 2014
when Arlington received
714,407.
In other action, the City
Council unanimously ap-
proved a gambling license
for the Arlington Area
Chamber of Commerce to
sell button raffle which will
conclude during the Arli-
Dazzle festivities on Satur-
day, Dec. 6.
One hundred one buttons
were already sold at the
Sibley County Fair last
week, according to Arli-
Dazzle Chairperson Kim
Schneider. That leaves 899
buttons which will be dis-
tributed to local businesses
and Chamber members.
A planning meeting for
the Arli-Dazzle festivities
will be held at the Arling-
ton Haus II at 6 p.m. Mon-
day, Aug. 11.
The Arlington City
Council will hold its next
regular meeting at 6:30
p.m. Monday, Aug. 18.

History
80 Years Ago
August 2, 1934
Louis Kill, Editor
What looked like a bumper
crop of corn in this community a
week or more ago has dwindled
considerably at the present time.
It is now apparent that the in-
tense heat of the mid-July hot
spell stunted not only the corn
crop but practically all vegeta-
tion and kept it from maturing.
The early sweet corn is now
being picked and reports have it
that only about half of it has ma-
tured. The late sweet corn and
field corn is badly in need of
moisture and unless a soaking
rain arrives within a week it will
fare badly.
A fire broke out in a straw
stack just after a threshing crew
had finished its job on the Ed-
mund Kube farm 3 miles south
of Arlington Monday morning
and came very near developing
into a disastrous conflagration.
The stack was situated about 25
feet from the barn and it took a
lot of hard work on the part of
the Kube folks, the threshing
crew and others to keep the
blaze from igniting the barn.
Paul Weckworth of Kelso
was the unfortunate victim of a
runaway last Thursday after-
noon while assisting with the
grain stacking on his farm. His
right leg was broken above the
knee when a fractious team
hitched to a load of grain ran
away and one of the wheels of
the wagon passed over him.

sented with a folding buffet and
will take part in the district
bake-off at Farmington.

McLeod County Chronicle
J
ohn Lipke is the DFL
candidate for District
18B state representa-
tive, but his goal is to develop
bipartisan cooperation at the
State Capitol.
Lipke, of rural Stewart, is a
businessman and financial
consultant, and also has
farmed and been active in Ed-
ucation Minnesota in his role
as a bus driver for the former
McLeod West School Dis-
trict.
Lipke said he has advocat-
ed for all three interests —
business, agriculture and edu-
cation — at the Capitol, de-
veloping relationships on
both sides of the aisle.
“I believe I can bring
something to this district that
I believe it’s looking for —
bipartisanship,” said Lipke.
“I’m someone who knows
how to reach across the
aisle.”
*****
Lipke has lived most of his
life in McLeod County, al-
though his first three years
were spent near Buffalo
Lake.
His parents moved when he
was 3 to Stewart, and he has
lived in the Stewart area ever
since, with the exception of a
few years in Hutchinson after
he married his wife, Sandy.
The couple bought a farm
between Stewart and
Hutchinson, where they
raised Arabian horses for
many years before Sandy’s
death.
Lipke earned his degree in
business administration from
Gustavus Adolphus College
in St. Peter, and also has a
history degree.
He’s been involved in fi-
nancial planning, insurance,
taxation and accounting.
Lipke said he has been in-
terested in politics from a
young age, and has been in-
volved in one way or another
since he was 15 or 16 years
old.
“Mom and Dad were active
in politics, ” said Lipke.
“They laid the foundation for
me.”
*****
Lipke has worked mainly
behind the scenes in politics,
lobbying for business, agri-
culture, education and other
issues.
But he said he always had
an interest in holding an of-
fice, and decided to seek the
District 18B House seat, cur-
rently held by state Rep.
Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glen-
coe, because the DFL needed
a candidate.
“What prompted me is that
we needed a candidate, and
time was running out,” said
Lipke, who filed for candida-
cy on the closing day.
Lipke knows he’ll have a
tough race in District 18, a
Republican stronghold, but
he believes people are ready
for a representative who will
work both sides of the aisle.
“I want to be a voice for
District 18B — for Democ-
rats and Republicans alike,”
said Lipke. “We know we
need support from Republi-
can and independent voters as
well as Democrats — and we
do have support from a lot of
Republicans. I feel we can
win this race. In fact, we have
every intention of winning.”
Lipke said he intends to
have an open door, and will
listen to his constituents.
“I’ll listen to everyone,”
said Lipke. “I don’t want to
just speak, I want to listen.”
To that end, Lipke took the
unusual step of establishing a
campaign headquarters in
Glencoe, and said a recent
open house drew a good
number of people.
The headquarters is located
at 714 E. 13th St. in Glencoe,
and Lipke encourages con-
stituents to stop in and visit.
His campaign staff is hoping
to establish regular office
hours in the near future.
Lipke also said his cam-
paign intends to “have a large
presence” at both the
McLeod and Sibley county
fairs, and encourages con-
stituents to stop and chat.
*****
“I know a lot of people are
dissatisfied with their current
representation,” Lipke con-
cluded. “I intend to change
the way people are represent-
ed at the Capitol.”
Lipke wants a bipartisan
approach in state House

Primary Election
set for next Tuesday
Our View: Voting is not only a right.
It is also a responsibility
Guest Column
The Sibley County Fair is now over and summer is
drawing to a close. People are attending playoff base-
ball games, thinking about back-to-school shopping
and praying for rain. It is also time for the Primary
Election which is set for Tuesday, Aug. 12.
The Primary Election gives voters an opportunity to
decide which candidates will represent their political
party during the General Election in November. In ad-
dition, the Primary Election can also reduce the num-
ber of candidates in nonpartisan races for the General
Election. This will be the case for the County Commis-
sioner races on the east and west ends of Sibley Coun-
ty this year.
Since there are typically only a few races of impor-
tance on the ballot for the Primary Election, voter
turnout is usually low. However, it is very important
that all people go to the polls so the Primary Election
is not dominated by a small group of citizens. In addi-
tion, to have a good selection of candidates on the bal-
lot for the General Election, voters must turn out and
make wise choices during the Primary Election.
Voting is not only a right. It is also a responsibility.
That responsibility should start at the Primary Election
on Tuesday, Aug. 12.

A man decided to try skydiving.
He jumped out of the plane, pulled
the ripcord and nothing happened.
On the way down, he passed a guy
going up, so he hollered, “”Hey, do
you know anything about para-
chutes?”
“No,” the guy yelled back. “You
know anything about gas barbe-
cues?”

A gentleman walked out of church
and said to the pastor as he pumped
his hand, “I have nothing but praise
for you and your sermon today.”
Said the pastor, “I noticed that
when the collection plate went by.”

A space agency psychologist
asked one of the astronauts what he
was thinking about as he strapped
himself into his craft atop the rocket
which was to hurl him into space.
“All I keep thinking,” replied,
“is that everything that makes this
thing go was supplied by the low-
est bidder.”

In desperation, the mother of a
four-year-old girl said, If you keep
sucking your thumb, you’ll eventual-
ly blow up like a balloon.”
The next day the mother and her
daughter attended a small social
gathering. Among those present was
a woman who was obviously preg-
nant. The little girl spotted her and
couldn’t contain herself. She walked
up to the expectant mother and said,
“I know what you’ve been doing.”
*****
A painfully shy man fell in love
with a young woman. He sensed that
she felt the same way, but he
couldn’t find the courage to ask her
out.
Finally he decided he would mail
her a love letter every day for one
year, and then ask her for a date.
Faithfully, he followed his plan,
and at year’s end he was coura-
geous enough to call her - only to
discover she’d married the letter
carrier.

A fellow complained to the health
department.
“I’ve got six brothers,” he said.
“We all live in one room. They have
too many pets. One has 12 monkeys
and another has 12 dogs. There’s no
air in th room and it’s terrible!
You’ve got to do something.”
“Have you got windows?” asked
the health department worker.
“Yes,” replied the man.
“Why don’t you open them?”
asked the health department worker.
“And lose all of my pigeons?”
replied the man.
*****
An old man had lots of money and
he was in bad health. The doctor told
him he was going to die and told his
wife to get a suitcase, fill it with
money and put it in the attic. When
he passed this world, he would carry
it with him.
A few days after the old man died,
his wife decided to see if he got the
suitcase. It was still there. She said,
“I knew I should have put it in the
cellar.”

Whether it is sending a text, read-
ing an email, or changing stations on
the radio, it only takes a moment of
distraction to cause a tragedy. In
fact, research shows if a driver takes
their eyes off the road for just 5 sec-
onds at 55 mph they will travel the
entire length of a football field.
When you think about driving that
far, that fast, without paying atten-
tion, it’s not hard to see the potential
for disaster.
Unfortunately, drivers are taking
that risk and the numbers are stag-
gering. In fact, a recent report by the
Centers for Disease Control and Pre-
vention found that nearly half of all
U.S. high school students admitted
to texting or emailing while driving.
Every day, nine people die and more
than 1,000 are injured due to crashes
involving distracted driving. In 2012
alone there was an estimated
421,000 people injured in crashes
involving a distracted driver.
But these numbers don’t tell the
story of the real people who have
lost their lives and whose families
are still suffering. Take the Logan
family from Byron, Minnesota who
lost their daughter Deej to distracted
driving in 2012. In the afternoon on
the first day of her senior year, Deej
was killed when she looked down to
send a text and ran into the back of a
school bus. She was just 17 years
old.
Tragedies like this are occurring
in Minnesota, North Dakota and
across America. They are a stark re-
minder that putting a stop to dis-
tracted driving is a matter of life and
death. It is also a call to action and
why we have introduced bipartisan
legislation that would bring re-
sources to states taking a stand
against distracted driving. The Im-
proving Driver Safety Act would ex-
pand access to an existing grant pro-
gram that provides funds to states to
boost enforcement laws and educate
the public on the dangers of distract-
ed driving.
Unfortunately, too many states are
being prevented from receiving this
important funding. In 2013, out of
38 states that applied for grants only
seven qualified, leaving more than
50% in available funds unused. This
year only one state benefitted from
the program and 70% of the funding
was left unused. This makes no
sense.
Our bill would expand access to
these distracted driving grants by
adjusting the requirements to ensure
more states, including Minnesota
and North Dakota, that are taking
steps to curb distracted driving
aren’t prevented from receiving
funds. For example, if a state passes
a law that bans text messaging and
makes it a primary offense that state
would be rewarded for moving in
the right direction. Without our bill,
that state would receive no support
at all.
While these steps are important,
there is no single law that will end
distracted driving. Instead, we need
to start changing attitudes and rais-
ing awareness. It has been done be-
fore – in 1970, fewer than 15% of
Americans used seatbelts. Following
a comprehensive education cam-
paign by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration that
number is now near an all-time his-
toric high of 84 percent. That same
progress can be made with distract-
ed driving.
To be successful, we each need to
take responsibility and realize there
is no text message worth dying for.
We must reaffirm our commitment
to paying attention behind the wheel
and improving safety on our roads.
Together we can help ensure no one
will have to face the same tragedy
the Logan family has had to endure.
No text is worth dying for
By Glenn Mollette
I’ ve never lived in poverty. How-
ever, like most Americans I have
known a few tough times. I do know
that poverty is not pretty. I've never
been around a hungry family that
was dancing in joy because of their
dire situation. Poverty is hard.
I grew up in Martin County, Ken-
tucky. We were supposed to be the
poorest county in the United States
in 1964 when President Johnson
began his campaign against poverty.
Government assistance came into
existence to help the poor not only
in our county but also throughout
the United States. A few dollars
from the government helps if you
are down and out. However, living
on government handouts for months
and even years is a rock bottom life
for the poor and our nation. Barely
existing is an understatement when
you are dependent every day on
what you can get from the federal
government. Our government, like
many Americans, has spent more
than it has taken in. Our national
debt is headed to 18 trillion dollars.
Extra money to hand out to impov-
erished Americans is going to de-
crease. There is no room for federal
charity to grow.
Changing the direction of your
life involves making big decisions.
It could mean moving to a place
where there are opportunities. There
are paying jobs in America but you
may need to go to the area where
they are being offered. Staying
where you are and dreaming that
your ship will arrive is not reality.
Sometimes poverty has resulted
from years of bad decisions, addic-
tions and simply mentally zoning
out about the realities of life.
Bad things often happen to people
putting them into such a tail spin
that they hit rock bottom losing their
houses, cars and help from family
and friends. There are lots of real
reasons and stories that people have
about their situations
People in poverty are lonely and
feel hopeless. In Nashville, Ten-
nessee on any given night there are
over 8,000 homeless people bedding
down in public places, or homeless
shelters. There are also lots of veter-
ans, elderly and young singles with
no place to go. A family sleeping in
an old car or huddled together on a
park bench under a blanket is not
beautiful American scenery. This
same scenario is played out in most
American cities only in different
numbers.
Thousands of people storm our
borders every day with no clue of
how they will financially survive in
America. However, America is their
dream and their way of trying to
reinvent their desperate lives. More
poverty unfortunately is coming to
America. President Johnson's dream
of a great society of handouts to the
down and out has maxed out.
This doesn’t mean that America
cannot be even greater than we are
but the government is not going to
create it. Our country is made of
people. The fiber and soul of Ameri-
ca is the spirit, of the American peo-
ple, who each day says, “I must, I
can and I will take control of my life
and destiny.” And then, do some-
thing about it.

columnist and author.

The names of eight priests
accused of sexually abusing
children in the New Ulm
Archdiocese have been made
public, according to the
KNUJ Radio website.
Victim’s attorney Jeff An-
derson released the names of
possibly abusive priests that
came out during a recent dep-
osition of Father Francis Gar-
vey, who was once a top
church official. Anderson said
he made those names public
in the interest of public safety.
All eight priests are now
dead, but Anderson said there
could be victims who have
not come forward.
New Ulm is the only Min-
nesota Archdiocese that has
not released its internal list of
credibly accused priests. The
priests named by Father Gar-
vey in the deposition include
Father David Roney, Father
Francis Markey, Father Vin-
cent Fitzgerald, Father
William Marks, Father
Michael Skoblik, Father John
Gleason, Father Douglas
Schleisman and Father John
Murphy.
