Trailblazer board
looks at extending
its service hours

Rapid Progress
Rapid progress has been
made, especially in the last
three weeks, on the construction project at the Arlington school site. The construction on the new elementary school in Gaylord has
also progressed well. On a
side note, Sibley East students in grades 6-12 will
start school on Monday,
Sept. 12, according to
school officials. Sibley East
students in grades K-5 will
begin school on Wednesday,
Sept. 14.
By Lori Copler
Editor, The McLeod
County Chronicle
The Minnesota Department
of Transportation (MnDOT)
is updating its Greater Minnesota Transit Investment
Plan, and that has the Trailblazer Transit Joint Powers
Board pondering whether it
should be expanding service
hours into evenings and
weekends.
Beverly Herfindahl of
MnDOT said that the proposed plan is based on a survey of transit riders, and that
longer weekday hours and
expanded Saturday and even
Sunday service were top
themes that emerged.
“The investment plan is indicating a need to expand
services on the street,” said
Herfindahl. If a transit system
wants to add those service
hours, it would have to include them it its service plan.
If approved by MnDOT, state
and federal funds would pay
up to 85 percent of the additional cost.
While most board members
agreed at Thursday morning’s
meeting that longer service
hours would be helpful, they
wondered if Trailblazer
would be over reaching if it
tried to add hours at the same
time it is trying to expand
service in Wright County.
“The question is, how late
do you go for efficiency?”
said Sibley County Commissioner Jim Swanson. “Saturday is kind of a black hole, as
far as I’m concerned.”
Swanson said he could see
offering expanded hours in
high-density areas, such as
Buffalo, Glencoe and
Hutchinson.
But if Trailblazer targeted
certain areas, it would need to
deal with the “political” aspect of the decision. People
in less-populated areas will
wonder “how come they’re
getting the service, and we
don’t,” said Swanson.
Herfindahl said Trailblazer
may not be able to offer expanded hours in all areas.
“We know you aren’t going
to meet performance standards to start with, but we do
expect to see some progress
as people use the service,”
she said.
McLeod County Commissioner Sheldon Nies said criteria needs to be set for determining where to offer expanded hours. An example he
cited was that the McLeod
County Solid Waste facility
in Hutchinson also would like
to expand hours, but most of

Arden Kreft, Arlington’s longest serving mayor, passes away
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Arden Kreft, the longest
serving mayor in the history
of Arlington, passed away on
Friday, Aug. 26.
Kreft was first elected as
mayor for a three-year term in
the City of Arlington during
December of 1969. He received 355 total votes and defeated two other opponents.
Kreft was then re-elected
seven more times and served
from 1970 through 1993. He
did not file for a ninth term
and was succeeded by Mayor
Richard “Dick” Thomes in
1994.
“When he was first elected,
Arden didn’t come in with an
agenda,” said Bud Bruhjell,
who served as the Arlington
city clerk from 1966 through
1998. “He came in to provide
good solid leadership.”
The primary focus for Kreft
and his City Council members
was street and infrastructure
projects.
Numerous street projects
were completed under his
watch. The electrical system
received an upgrade and the
wastewater treatment plant
was constructed. The Main
Street Reconstruction Project
took place and a portion of
Henderson Road was closed
to accommodate the expansion project at the Big Stone
Canning Company. Main
Street was extended to County
Road 12 which allowed for
the construction of the Amberfield Apartments.
Kreft and the City Council
were also a major partner in
the rebuilding Big Stone after
a fire in the early 1970s. It
was during this time that Kreft
met then U.S. Senator Hubert
Humphrey who came to town
for a ceremony at the plant.
The construction of the Fire
Hall and Senior Citizens
Building occurred during his
24 years in office. At least a
half dozen building additions
became a part of the community.
In addition to these projects,
Kreft was a true fiscal conservative “who always looked
out for the taxpayers and
made sure they got the biggest
bang for every dollar spent,”
according to Bruhjell.
He was also very proud that
his son, Jim Kreft, followed in
his footsteps and served as
mayor in Arlington for two
terms from 2006 through
2013.
“As Mayor of Arlington,
Arden Kreft was a true public
servant,” said Ross Arneson,
who has served as the Arlington city attorney since 1978.
“This was his city, these were
his people, and he always
served our best interest. In addition to running a successful
business, raising an outstanding family, and keeping up
with Marie, he was willing to
devote countless hours to the
challenges of city government.”
Arneson continued, “As
city attorney, I was privileged
to serve with him for 15 years.
His leadership style was perfect for our community. He
encouraged and respected the
opinions of others, and thus
earned the respect of the community. He conducted council
meetings with quiet dignity
and efficiency. He was always
well informed about the needs
of Arlington, and the wishes
of the people, and did his best
for them. Our community was
fortunate to have him as a
leader for so long.”
A number of aldermen and
city council members served
under Kreft during his 24
years in office. They included
Harvie Obar, Irwin Jacobs,
Archie Battcher, Reuben Sickmann, Henry Griep, Larry
Klunder, Glenn Meyer, Lowell Nagel, Victor Dahlke,
Everil Trocke, Dennis Van
Moorlehem, Richard Thomes,
Edward Weydt, Blackie
Schwirtz, Marie Schneider,
Gene Moskop, Mel Pederson,
Randy Knutson, Gerald
Schultz, Rick Schultz, Robert
Meyers, Larry McCormick,
Darwin Mathwig and Nancy
Krentz.
“Mayor Arden Kreft was a
quiet, dedicated public servant, never seeking the limelight,” said current Arlington
Mayor Rich Nagel. “I’m
guessing his 24-year tenure as
mayor of Arlington will never
be surpassed. The community
and its organizations will miss
Arden Kreft’s lifelong commitment and leadership.”

Blood Drive nets
115 units in town
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The American Red Cross
blood drive netted 115 units
of blood at the Arlington
Community Center on Tuesday, Aug. 23, according to
Coordinator Karan Pichelmann. The projected number
of blood units was slightly
higher than the goal of 107
which was the Red Cross
projected units.
Kelsey Sunvold received a
one-gallon pin while Wendy
Klehr received a two-gallon
pin. Gordon Panning and
Duane Geib each received a
13-gallon pin while Debra
Stenzel and Lorraine Lieske
each netted a 14-gallon pin.
Karan Pichelmann received a
16-gallon pin.
“Thanks to all of the
donors who came and gave
again,” said Pichelmann.
“Without all of the donors
who kindly gave again, the
goal could not have exceeded
what the Red Cross was pro-
jecting.”
Members of St. Paul’s
Lutheran Church, Green Isle,
prepared and served the
luncheon of ham and egg
salad sandwiches to all
donors and volunteers.
Thrivent Financial and
Jerry’s Home Quality made a
donation to the lunch. Locher
Brothers, Green Isle, furnished the beverage.
“A big thank you to all of
these organizations for their
contributions and to everyone
who volunteered to work
with the blood drive and set
up the Community Center for
the day to make this event
here in Arlington always a
big success,” said Pichelmann. “Without everyone it
would not be such a successful time for the Red Cross
who is in need of blood donations this year.”
The next blood drive in Arlington will be held from 1
p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec.
27.
News Briefs
High speed pursuit in county
A Sibley County sheriff’s deputy clocked a vehicle
speeding on Highway 22 about two miles north of Gaylord at 8:39 p.m. Monday, Aug. 29, according to the
Sibley County Sheriff’s Department.
The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle fled northbound, according to the report. The vehicle was clocked at 125 miles per hour. After a three-mile
pursuit, the driver lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle entered the ditch where it rolled. The crash took

Green Isle Community School to
start school on Tuesday, Sept. 6
The Green Isle Community
School, which is a free public
charter school with multiaged small class sizes, will
open its doors for the new
school year on Tuesday, Sept.
6.
“We are so excited so many
new families are choosing to
share their children with us,”
said GICS Director Brandy
Barrett.
Due to increased enrollment, the school has a new
third and fourth grade teacher
in Sherry Urness.
GICS also bought its very
own bus this summer, according to Barrett.
“This will help provide
transportation for our students as they come from all
over several school districts,”
said Barrett.
A program for three, four
and five year olds will be
held all day on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays.
“This program has filled up
quickly,” Barrett said. “These
are some great changes for
the 2016-17 school year.”
GICS a project-based
school with an emphasis on
service learning. What does
that mean exactly? Projectbased learning is a teaching
method in which students
gain knowledge and skills by
working for an extended period of time to investigate and
respond to authentic, engaging and complex questions,
problems or challenges. The
students at GICS create projects to demonstrate their
learning. They present these
projects to their classmates
and teachers.
“We fit this in along with
the traditional math and reading classes,” said Barrett.
“Now, service learning allows
an educational experience
while teaching empathy.
Through service learning students get a chance to contribute to their community
and discover that, whether
they are three or 100, they
can make a difference. Some
of our service learning activities have been bingo at the
Good Samaritan Center in Arlington, visiting the Belle
Plaine Lutheran Home, and
visiting the DAC in Arlington.
GICS also has two Clean
the Community days per year
where the students and staff
walk around the community
and pick up trash along the
ground. GICS also delivers
May Day Baskets and
Thanksgiving wishes to
spread a little cheer in the
City of Green Isle.
“The GICS staff tries to
volunteer at different events
around the community every
summer,” said Barrett. “We
encourage our students to
create those community connections and also lead them
by setting an example. You
may have also noticed that
we were around town much
more frequently this baseball
season. This was our first season running the concession
stand at the Irish Yard. It was
great to be able to meet community members and connect
with them. All proceeds from
the concession stand went to
the school and we earned
$2,000. We are already looking forward to hosting the
state tournament next year.”

County Board receives an update
on South Country Health Alliance
Transit was a RideConnect
provider. She stated there
was no contract in place with
Trailblazer yet.
Lind reported that SCHA
had a net income of 1.4 million, but that those numbers
were misleading because it
included money that was
2015 income. The actual
numbers for 2016 show a 9.8
million-dollar loss. Lind stated this was due to less revenue and higher claims costs.
Public Health &
Human Services
The County Board unanimously accepted an additional $11,500 from Minnesota
Valley Action Council to be
used for the SNAP employment and training program.
This program is a four-county
program consisting of Brown,
Le Sueur, Nicollet, and Sibley counties. Sibley County
is the fiscal agent for the program.
Public Health and Human
Services Director Vicki Stock
provided a mid-year financial
report to board members.
The total revenue for Public
Health and Human Services
is at 47 percent of the expected income. Expenditures are
at 63 percent of expected expenses. Stock reported that
expenditures were higher
than 50 percent at mid-year
because of the increased
chemical dependency costs.
She said that even with the
increased costs she did not
expect the department to go
over budget for the whole
year. Public Health and
Human Services has a 2016
budget of $6,775,424.
Stock reported that the
county fell below standards
in a few of the Minnesota Department of Human Services
(DPS) performance measures.
One area where the county
fell below standards was that
“people are economically secure.” That area includes expedited SNAP applications
processed within one business day, and SNAP and cash
assistance
applications
processed in a timely manner.
Stock appealed those results
because the office struggled
with 100 percent employee
turnover. The appeal was denied and performance improvement plans were completed.
Other areas where the
county fell below standards
included: a repeat vulnerable
adult maltreatment report received within six months of
first, and current child care
support collected.
Possible penalties for being
below standards include performance improvement plans;
fiscal penalties; or reassignment of the program to another county, service delivery
authority, or transfer to DPS.
Stock also reported that
Sibley County is experiencing a great need for more foster homes. She has sent out
flyers to churches and is writing articles for the newspapers to recruit new foster parents. She stated that the Legislature approved a 15 percent increase for foster
homes.
Trailblazer Continued from page 1
its workers are challenged individuals who rely on public
transportation. Having longer
Trailblazer hours could help
that, he said.
Sibley County Commissioner Bill Pinske asked about
expanding hours when the
system already is having trouble putting buses on the road
in Wright County.
Scott Enter, a Wright County Area Transportation
(WCAT) representative, asked
if Trailblazer would consider
starting a pilot program in
Buffalo.
But along with drivers, it
was noted, Trailblazer also
would need more dispatchers
and possibly a supervisor.
“I think we need to keep reviewing this,” said McLeod
County Commissioner Doug
Krueger. “I think our hands
are already full for 2017.”

wants to expand hours during
that year, it can offer a revised
budget to MnDOT at a later
time.
“We can always ask for an
amendment to our budget
later on,” said Nies.
The board agreed not to ask
for expanded hours for 2017,
but to keep the issue on the
table.

update on Tuesday morning,
Aug. 23.
Lind reported that membership enrollment was down
931 members from 2015.
Sibley County enrollment
was down by 80 members
from 2080 to 2000. Enrollment in Medical Assistance is
down by 114 in Sibley County, while enrollment in MinnesotaCare is up by 16.
Lind stated that SCHA had

and that they have already hit
their goal and are down 28
percent. Lind also reported
that SCHA received 4.5 out

Lind also pointed out the

Enterprise reminds readers
of policy for letters prior
to the general election
Our View: Submit your letters early
Prior to the General Election, it has been the customary
practice for the Arlington Enterprise to publish its policy
for letters to the editor as a reminder to all readers.
This newspaper will print any and all letters received by 4
p.m. each Tuesday. Letters must not be over 500 words in
length. All letters must be signed by the letter writer if delivered to this newspaper office. Letters can also be emailed to kurtm@arlingtonmnnews.com.
This newspaper will not print letters that include personal
attacks or serve as advertisements from candidates. Overall,
this newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for purposes
of clarity and space.
During the week before the General Election, this newspaper will only print positive letters and letters which specifically respond to previously mentioned issues from the most
recent week. The Arlington Enterprise, during that same
week, will not publish letters which bring up new issues because readers will not have an opportunity to respond prior
to the General Election which is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Again, people who plan to write a letter to the editor about
a candidate in the upcoming General Election are encouraged to submit their letters early.

Letter To The Editor
Goodbye old buddy
To The Editor,
Forty years ago when the opportunity came up to install veterans flagpoles on city property, Arden Kreft
was among the first to apply for this
privilege. His being a city official at
that time did not hamper this endeavor. Those three flagpoles still
fly the flags of our country 24 hours
a day seven days a week.
Through the following years the
now named Veterans Walking Path
of Honor slowly grew from three
flagpoles on a pedestal to 50 small
flags and flagpoles. Later a helicopter was added and mounted on a
concrete pier. Granite pavers were
installed honoring veterans from
anywhere. Today’s total is 751 veterans pavers, along with a recently
added wing with room for 310 more
spaces available. Continuing to
grow, many other features were
added through the years including
benches, statues, plaques and lights.
Today the Veterans Walking Path of
Honor is among the finest veterans
memorials in Minnesota much be-
cause of Arden’s efforts. The Veterans Walking Path of Honor adopted
a motto “We Were Young Then
Don’t Forget Us Now.”
Through all this Arden was father,
businessman, veteran, politician and
friend. I had the distinct honor and
privilege of working with him on
this project and along with his family and friends, I will miss him.
Goodbye old buddy.

What color Is homelessness?
By Glenn Mollette
A young man stood on a street
corner in St. Paul, Minnesota last
Sunday. He was holding up a sign
describing his plight, "Homeless,
hungry, need help." He was across
the street from a church were I was
speaking. I stopped to talk to him
and did give him a small donation. I
asked him about his situation and he
said, "I'll be honest with you. I became addicted to drugs and I have
burned all my bridges. I have family
in the area but I can't go back to any
of them." Some people have no
place to go while others have places
to which they feel they can never return.
Two weekends ago my wife and I
were walking Michigan Avenue in
Chicago. On every block there were
at least two people holding up signs
saying they were homeless and
needed help.
Nashville, Tennessee, for the last
several years has had thousands of
homeless people on any given night.
It seems today that every city has
homeless people begging for financial help. Have we become a nation
of beggars? I pause here and say but

for the grace of God it could be me.
My hope and prayer is that I can
avoid homelessness and so can all
the people I hold near and dear to
me. However, I don't like seeing
anybody homeless.
When we first started out on
Michigan Avenue we were in the
heart of the shopping center when I
saw what appeared to be a grandmother, her daughter and month old
baby huddled up in a doorway. The
baby had a pacifier and was held by
who appeared to be her young mother. I walked by but had to turn
around and give them something. "I
don't know how you got to this point
but here is a little something. I hope
it helps," I said. They said thank you
as they slightly nodded their heads.
As I have seen so much homelessness in our country in the last few
years I always wonder how many
are truly homeless and how many
are just working the system? Are
they collecting welfare and begging
too? One man in Nashville a couple
of weeks ago said he could not get a
job because he would lose his $700
a month check.
Many in America are in dire situa-
tions due to drugs. Dependency on
heroin and other devastating drugs is
destroying people's health, families
and finances putting them on the
streets. Millions are dying early
deaths due to drug addictions.
Interestingly, everybody I am seeing holding up "homeless" signs are
either white people or black people.
I have not yet seen a Hispanic on the
street begging for food or claiming
homelessness, nor have I seen any
Asians or Middle Easterners. After
this article is published I may hear
differently. I haven't been everywhere.
We have to get Americans off the
street. Bumming is not a good use of
life. Every city in America must
come up with a solid plan for temporary housing and utilizing people
into a local constructive workforce.
If they are not sick and physically
able to do something, then helping
the community and contributing
something is better than begging on
the street.

syndicated columnist, speaker and
author. He is the author of 11 books

10-foot long redtail boa constrictor
found in park southeast of Glencoe
Paul and Danny Eckhoff
found a 10-foot long redtail
boa constrictor in Buffalo
Creek Park southeast of
Glencoe on Saturday night,
Aug. 27.
Paul and Danny went to the
park to go fishing and hunting for mushrooms. The two
boys initially heard the snake
fall out of a tree and thought
it was a turkey. They later
stumbled onto the giant
snake.
The brothers took pictures
of the snake and later showed
their parents.
The two boys and their
dad, Scott, later returned to
the park to look at the snake.
They later called the sheriff’s
office and a couple of
deputies came out to the
scene.
The deputies threw a blanket over the snake and loaded
it into a dog cage. The sheriff’s office turned the snake
over to the Minnesota Herpetological Society. If the
owner does not claim it, the
snake will be put up for adoption.
A few days earlier, there
was a report of a large snake
in a tree near Highway 212.
They believe the snake made
its way across the creek and
into the park.
Arden Erich Kreft, age 82,
of Arlington, passed away
peacefully at the Golden
Hearts Assisted Living Center
in Arlington on Friday, Aug.
26.
A funeral
service was
held
at
P e a c e
Lutheran
Church in
Arden Kreft
Arlington
at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug.
31.
Casket bearers were
Arden’s
grandchildren,
Alexus Kreft, Oscar Kreft,
Eleanor Kreft, Hailey Kreft,
Brianna Kreft, Isaac Kreft,
Theresa Lang, Claire Lang,
Frederick Lang, Edward
Lang, Lucas Kreft, Harrison
Kreft, Evelyn Kreft, Saul
Kreft and Eloise Kreft.
Visitation was held at
Peace Lutheran Church from
4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday,
Aug. 30. It continued one
hour prior to the service at
the church on Wednesday,
Aug. 31.
Burial with military rites
was in the Arlington Public
Cemetery.
Arden was born to Mabel
(Guetschoff) and Erich Kreft
on July 24, 1934. He was
raised in Arlington Township
on a farmstead homesteaded
by his maternal great-grandparents. He was baptized as
an infant at St. John’s Lutheran Church, rural Arlington.
Arden attended “Dutch
College” country school before joining the Arlington
High School Class of 1952.
After two years of farming
with his father, he enlisted in
the United States Army in
1954. He fondly remembered
his service time as a Military
Police Officer at Fort
Richardson, Alaska. Upon
Honorable Discharge from
the Army in 1956, he used his
GI Bill to enroll at Minneapolis Vocational School, and
soon earned a degree in cabinetmaking. After working for
a few years as a cabinetmaker
and carpenter in the Twin
Cities, Arden moved back to
Arlington in 1962 and founded Kreft Cabinets, Arden’s
own cabinet shop, Main
Street, Arlington. He sold the
business to his eldest son in
2003, and was extremely
pleased that the family business remains open in Arlington. He loved his chosen vocation, often stating that,
“There was never a Monday
when I did not look forward
to going to work.”
On Dec. 27, 1968, Arden
was united in marriage with
Marie Angeline Bauman at
St. Mary’s Catholic Church,
Arlington. Arden and Marie
settled at the corner of East
Baker Street and Fifth Avenue Southeast in Arlington
and raised seven children.
Arden was the longestserving mayor in the history
of Arlington—elected eight
times, and in office from
1970-1993. Arden’s legacy
of humble, quiet, steadfast
leadership is exhibited by innumerable community projects. He was a true servant of
the community—a member
of many community groups,
including being an original
member of the Arlington Ambulance Service with whom
he served 20 years. Arden’s
commitment to the community was recognized by the Sibley East School District when
he was part of the inaugural
group of “Wall of Fame” inductees, and by the City of
Arlington who presented him
the “Darwin Mathwig Community Service Award.”
Arden was an active and
passionate member of the
local American Legion and
VFW Posts, serving countless
terms in leadership positions.
In the 1960s he became a
member of the Arlington
VFW Drill Team. He thoroughly enjoyed recounting
stories of team camaraderie
and hijinks. In the early
2000s, Arden, with his great
friend, Elroy Schwirtz, spearheaded the project of remodeling and enlarging of the Arlington Veterans Memorial.
Arden was proud to be remembered with the Arlington
and Sibley County veterans’
organizations for the memorial’s success as a symbol of
our community’s devotion
and patriotism.
Arden was a member of
Peace Lutheran Church in Arlington where he was active
in the founding of the congregation, and served in many
leadership roles.
Arden’s hobbies included
playing cards, horseradish
gardening and grinding, collecting antique woodworking
tools, talking smart, road tripping, napping, and enjoying
morning coffee with friends.
One of his favorite times of
the year was the annual
“Kreft Camp” reunion when
he vacationed with his wife,
children, and grandchildren.
Arden is survived by wife
Marie of Arlington; children,
James (Holly) Kreft of Arlington, John (Kari) Kreft of
Elbow Lake, Mark Kreft of
Golden Valley, Kathryn
(Andy) Lang of Eagan,
Daniel (Heather) Kreft of
Hinckley, David (Abby)
Kreft of Belle Plaine, and
Mike Kreft of Willmar; sister,
Shirley (Bernie) Beneke of
Elk River; brother, Robert
(JoAnn) Kreft of St. Louis
Park; and 15 grandchildren.
He was preceded in death
by his parents; and grandson,
Anthony Lang.
Highway 14 Nicollet to North Mankato
traffic switch next week, MnDOT says
Highway 14 motorists
near the North Mankato
end of the construction
project to Nicollet noticed
some minor traffic switches
on about a two-mile section
on Monday, Aug. 29.
Westbound Highway 14
will be carried on the new
westbound outside lane and
eastbound traffic will be
carried on the existing
Highway 14 outside lane
from the east end of the
project to Nicollet County
Road 25 for work in the
median. This traffic change
will stay in place until the
project is complete in November.
The Highway 14 detour
will remain in place until
early November and consists of Nicollet County
Roads 25 and 23.
Highway 111/County
Road 23 (south of the new
interchange) also continues
to be detoured to County
Roads 25, 17 and Highway
99 until paving on the new
Highway 111 is complete.
Upcoming work consists
of removing the old inside
shoulders and finishing the
slopes in the median, resurfacing the existing Highway 14 pavement (eastbound traffic will experience brief delays) and concrete paving on Highway
111 and on the new Nicollet
bypass section of Highway
14.
“Progress has been
slowed by rains, but we
have worked with the contractor to make adjustments
so they are steadily making
progress towards a November completion,” explains
Adam Schendel, MnDOT
project supervisor.
The project, which includes building 6.5 miles of
two additional lanes north
of existing Highway 14 and
a 2.5 mile four-lane southern bypass of Nicollet with
an interchange for Highway
111/County Road 23 is
scheduled to be complete
by November. Mathiowetz

Sibley East football team to host
Tri-City United on Friday evening
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Sibley East varsity
football team returns 17 letterwinners this season with
hopes to improve upon last
year’s finish of 4-6 overall.
The returning letterwinners
include seniors Leighton
Rose, Seth Fredin, Scott
Holmquist, Brody Bates, Tim
Otto, Tanner Kurtzweg, Cody
Voight and Brandon Uecker;
juniors Jesus Rodriguez,
Kevin Durham, Holden
Lindquist, Gavin Bates, Paul
Schmidt, Lucas Chavez,
Jaden Podratz and Jacob
Willmsen; and freshman Lincoln Carpenter.
The remaining senior is
Tanner Pasvogel.
The remaining juniors are
Carlos Garcia, Jordan Traxler,
Logan Tesch, Harley Jo
Borgmann, Yadira Mendez,
Tim Lewis, Alex Borjas and
Alex Vazquez.
The sophomores are Brandon Donaldson, Kameron In,
Ryan Wolverton, Colton
Harens, Max Bartels, Austin
Bode, Austin Snyder, Rogeilio Lara, Alex Frauendienst and Austin Schwartz.
The freshmen consist of
Lucas Dose, Bogarrett
Rechtzigel, Mario Hernandez,
Lucas Tesch, Matthew Messner, Dakota Roehler, Elli Arrazolo, Beauen Harbarth,
JaBez Bates, Thomas Mayer,
Sean Alander and Peyton Lovaas.
“We had a good scrimmage
last Saturday and finally got
to do some truly live work,”
said Sibley East head coach
Chuck Hartman.
Hartmann continued, “We
have a lot of returning
starters, some of whom are in
their third or fourth year starting. Tanner Kurtzweg, Brody
Bates, and Jaden Podratz are
all in their fourth season as
starters. We also have several
upperclassmen in their third
year starting or playing considerable snaps including
quarterback Gavin Bates and
receiver Scott Holmquist and
tailback Kevin Durham.”
Hartmann added, “Defense
is always a concern, but that's
not to say I think we have a
problem there. I have faith in
our defense. You have to be
concerned about defense because even though our offense should score points this
year it’s tough to outscore the
good teams. You need to be
able to win 14-12 games to
make a run. But with several
multi-year starters like Cody
Voight and Tim Otto as well
as a seasoned secondary, improvements on defense
should follow.”
Hartman is assisted by
Michael Bullert, Jordan
Voigt, Rod Tollefson, Pat
Foley and Dustin Meuleners.
The student managers are
Lincoln Suedbeck, Josh
Sorenson, Taylor Perschau,
Morgan Stearns and Rachel
Rettmann.
The Wolverines will open
the season against visiting
Tri-City United at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2.

St. Paul’s Lutheran School
will start Tuesday, Sept. 6
Families and staff at St.
Paul’s Lutheran School are
ready to start the new school
year on Tuesday, Sept. 6.
“Each school year we focus
on a passage from scripture
as our theme,” said Principal
Eric Kaesermann. “The
Bible passage Psalm 23:1:
‘The Lord is my shepherd, I
shall not be in want’ serves as
our verse this year. Our
school emphasizes scripture
in all of our subject areas and
this passage summarizes why
our school exists, to rely on
Jesus as our Lord.”
St. Paul’s classrooms are
multigrade and its experienced staff manages these
multi-age classrooms to optimize student achievement.
The staff consists of Judy
Petzel, Pastor Matthew Rauh,
Lesley Kaesermann, Becky
Ziegler, and Principal Eric
Kaesermann. This staff
teaches combinations of
classes from preschool
through eighth grade. St.
Paul’s offers a home-school
program on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. This program includes students for class periods on art, science, music,
physical education, etc. This
is the fifth year of that program.
St. Paul’s has undergone an
accreditation process the lasts
two years. This was a huge
undertaking to complete a
comprehensive self-study,
host a site visit team of educators outside the school, and
develop and implement a
school improvement plan to
maintain accreditation. This
work was done through Wisconsin Evangelical Synod
School
Accreditation
(WELSSA)
standards.
WELSSA is a member in of
the National Council on Private School Accreditation
(NCPSA) and is recognized
by Minnesota Nonpublic
School Accrediting Association (MNSAA).
“We are very excited to
join this group of academically excellent schools,” said
Kaesermann.
St. Paul’s was also blessed
to receive a grant for a
statewide Health Initiative
Program (SHIP). Funds from
SHIP are used to encourage
student physical activity in
the classroom, at recess, and
in the lunch program. Another grant was given by the
Local Cable Commission.
The Cable Commission grant
was used in the area of technology, specifically towards
presentation projects by students.
“There have been plenty of
activities and projects at
school as well,” said Kaesermann. “This is just a few of
them. Our students have
been very active in the school
garden this year and harvest
looks great. We continue to
incorporate iPads as a supplement to our curriculum. Students create many projects
during the school year as they
learn and train with this technology. Around school we
updated some of our desktop
computer equipment. We installed a new swing set this
year on our school playground and a maypole. This
will be nice for our school
and community. Our students
have adopted Frenzel Park
for the second year. The kids
have enjoyed being caretakers of the park we use for our
phy ed and recess.”
School is set to begin on
Tuesday, Sept. 6 for K-8 students. The school year will
begin with an opening service
at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
at 8:15 a.m. The faculty is
looking forward to the new
school year.
Interested people who
would like to visit the school
or would like to learn more
about St. Paul’s can contact
the school office at 964-2397
or visit the website
www.stpaularlington.com/sch
ool. People can also follow
all of the events and see photos of what the school is
