Serving the Communities of Arlington and Green Isle, Minnesota

Cities and counties in-
volved in the original
Renville-Sibley Fiber to the
Home Project over three
years ago are being sued for
not paying their legal fees,
according to court docu-
ments.
Best & Flanagan, LLP,
Minneapolis, recently served
notice of the lawsuit in the
Fourth Judicial District Court
in Hennepin County. The law
firm is seeking $120,000 in
legal fees and costs.
The defendants listed in the
lawsuit include Renville
County, Sibley County, City
of Arlington, City of Brown-
ton, City of Buffalo Lake,
City of Fairfax, City of Gay-
lord, City of Gibbon, City of
Green Isle, City of Hender-
son, City of Lafayette, City of
New Auburn, City of Stewart,
and the City of Winthrop, act-
ing by and through the
Renville-Sibley County Fiber
Joint Powers Agency and the
Renville-Sibley County Fiber
Cooperative Joint Powers
Board.
According to the lawsuit,
the defendants agreed to pro-
vide reimbursement to Op-
penheimer and Company, up
to $120, 000, for the law
firm’s expenses as under-
writer’s counsel, whether or
not a financing occurred.
The defendants, by their
duly authorized representa-
tives, have acknowledged
their obligation to pay Best &
Flanagan, LLP, for legal fees
and costs, but, to date, have
refused to tender any pay-
ment, according to the law-
suit.
The defendants have assert-
ed, through Mark Erickson,
the Board’s Executive Direc-
tor, that the law firm would
be paid from a future financ-
ing, according to the lawsuit.
The defendants, however,
have not issued any payments
to Best & Flanagan, LLP,
from their new financing to
date. The defendants have
specifically obtained new fi-
nancing through the June
2015 issuance of $8.065 mil-
lion in taxable general obliga-
tion abatement bonds for the
most recent fiber to the home
project in 10 communities.
The defendants, the lawsuit
claims, have not responded to
the law firm’s many requests
for payment except to offer to
pay lesser amounts. The de-
fendants have not explained
to the plaintiff why amounts
apparently dedicated in their
Series 2015 Bonds for the
payment of prior financing-
related expenses cannot or
should not be used toward the
payment of the unpaid legal
services invoices.
As a result, Best & Flana-
gan, LLP, has brought this ac-
tion and in its view is entitled
to judgment against the de-
fendants in the amount of
$120,000 in accordance with
each defendant’s obligation
under the Joint Powers
Agreement, plus 10 percent
pre-judgment interest, costs
and legal fees incurred in at-
tempting to collect this obli-
gation as permitted by law or
contract.
The lawsuit did not specify
the exact dollar amount owed
by each city and county.
Extension
Best & Flanagan, LLP,
served notice of the lawsuit
on Wednesday, Sept. 2. The
defendants listed in the law-
suit were initially given 20
days to respond.
Ross Arneson, who serves
as the city attorney for both
Arlington and Green Isle,
said the deadline has been ex-
tended to Friday, Oct. 16. The
extension, he said, will allow
additional time for attorneys
from Best & Flanagan, LLP,
and the Renville-Sibley Fiber

Sibley County Attorney
Dave Schauer presented the
County Board with a request
to increase his salary to be
more in line with neighboring
communities. The request
was made during the County
Board’s regular meeting in
Gaylord on Tuesday morn-
ing, Sept. 22.
The county’s proposed
2016 salary for Schauer is
$88,078.98 for a .80 FTE. If
this position was a full-time
position Schauer would earn
$110,099 per year. Schauer
provided the County Board
with an average of the fol-
lowing five counties:
McLeod, Renville, Nicollet,
Le Sueur, Scott and Carver.
The average of those six
counties for an attorney with
20.83 years of experience is
$123,706 per year. Schauer
has 32 years of experience.
Schauer requested an in-
crease of $9,443 more per
year.
County Commissioner
Bobbie Harder voiced her
concern with a salary in-
crease. Harder said that her
constituents never said that
the county needed to increase
the salaries of elected offi-
cials and that it was contrary
to expect taxpayers to pay for
a pay increase for elected of-
ficials.
County Commissioner Jim
Swanson said that he appreci-
ated the excellent work that
Schauer does, but said that
“at some point it doesn’t
make a difference how long
you have worked.” Some-
times it’s not just about com-
paring a position to other
counties, but looking at the
county’s ability to pay.
By consensus, the County
Board directed County Ad-
ministrator Roxy Traxler to
draft a resolution giving all
elected officials a two percent
increase.
Flood Repairs
The Board awarded the
flood repair project on CSAH
6 in Faxon Township to Dirt
Merchant, Inc., Mankato, for
$559,617.08. This amount is
21.69 percent under the engi-
neer’s estimate. The culvert
system and road in-slopes
will be repaired.
The County Board awarded
the flood repair project on
CSAH 8 in Alfsborg Town-
ship to Mathiowitz Construc-
tion, Sleepy Eye, for
$66,891.25. Mathiowitz came
in 1.41 percent under the en-
gineer’s estimate.
Because these roads were
damaged during the 2014
flooding, both projects are el-
igible to receive some federal
funding.
Eligibility Worker
The County Board ap-
proved an additional eligibili-
ty worker for Public Health
and Human Services. Sibley
County worker caseloads
have averaged 277 cases per
worker in 2015. The high
caseloads have caused errors
and the failure to meet per-
formance management re-
quirements for SNAP (food
support). SNAP cases meet-
ing the definition of expedit-
ed are required to be seen
within one business day. Sib-
ley County failed to meet the
minimum performance
threshold and now a perform-
ance improvement plan is re-
quired.

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Sept. 21,
voted 4-1 and adopted a reso-
lution to approve the prelimi-
nary 2015 tax levy for collec-
tion in 2016.
According to City Admin-
istrator Liza Donabauer, the
preliminary 2015 tax levy for
collection in 2016 will in-
crease from $768, 902 to
$826,582. This reflects an ap-
proximate 7. 5 percent in-
crease.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, James
Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse
and Galen Wills voted in
favor of the resolution.
City Council member Jim
Heiland, who voted against
the resolution, believed the
7.5 percent increase was too
high.
Wills agreed with Heiland,
but said the City Council will
have an opportunity to cut
that amount before the final
tax levy is adopted in Decem-
ber.
Donabauer reported that
the City Council will meet to
discuss the Capital Improve-
ment Fund (revenue sources
and equipment/project priori-
ties for 2016) in October.
The City Council, she said,
will meet to review the em-
ployee benefits, enterprise
funds and related utility rates
in November.
In addition, the City Coun-
cil will hold another budget
workshop before December.
The City Council will hold
its annual Truth In Taxation
public hearing at 6 p.m. Mon-
day, Dec. 7.
Parking Lot
For Sale
The City Council unani-
mously adopted a resolution
to authorize the City of Ar-
lington to sell a city-owned
and operated parking lot.
The parking lot is located
on the south side of the alley
between West Alden Street
and West Main Street be-
tween First Avenue North-
west and Second Avenue
Northwest. The size of the
parking lot is 58 feet by 100
feet.
In general terms, the park-
ing lot is located between
Jerry’s Home Quality Foods
and Schad Lindstrand &
Schuth.
Jaszewski suggested that
the businesses located near
the parking lot should be no-
tified about the sale first.
The city, according to Don-
abauer, currently owns and
maintains three parking lots
in town.
Drones
The City Council reviewed
an ordinance from the City of
St. Bonifacius relating to re-
stricting the use of drones in
the City of Arlington.
Discussion on the issue fol-
lowed. In the end, the City
Council informally author-
ized City Attorney Ross Ar-
neson to draft an ordinance
for the City Council to review
at its next regular meeting.
Other News
The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion to
purchase four eight-foot pic-
nic tables from St. Croix
Recreation at a total cost of
$3,183.40.
Local resident Thomas Von
Eschen submitted a petition
for the alley at 208 East Day-
ton Street be opened up for
access. The alley runs from
Third Avenue Southwest to
Henderson Road.
Two residents in attendance
spoke against the petition.
One person submitted a letter
of opposition.
The City Council, accord-
ing to Mayor Rich Nagel, will
discuss the issue at a future
meeting.
The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion to
approve change order number
three for additional costs at
the storm sewer out at High
Island Creek. The cost will be
$7,161.57. The change order
is in connection with the
2015 Street & Utility Im-
provement Project.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
Oct. 5.
Preliminary tax levy reflects a 7.5% hike in City of Arlington

Correspondent
Superintendent Jim Amsden
reported that enrollment at the
Sibley East Public Schools is
down by 11 students.
Amsden made the an-
nouncement during the Sibley
East’s regular monthly meet-
ing in Arlington on Monday
night, Sept. 21.
The 2014 enrollment was
1,268 while the 2015 enroll-
ment is 1,257. Amsden was
not concerned by the drop
stating that overall Sibley
East’s numbers have been
fairly constant.
Operating Levy
The School Board unani-
mously accepted the required
local optional revenue (LOR)
of $351.05 with the $300 ref-
erendum to maintain the cur-
rent voter approved authority
of $651.05 per resident pupil
unit. State aid will drop by
$70,645 requiring an increase
in the levy of $68,753. The
grand total revenue for the
school will drop by $1,893 for
fiscal year 2017.
Property taxpayers with a
$100,000 home will see an in-
crease of $18 in their 2016
property taxes for school dis-
trict #2310. This increase is
for property taxes on residen-
tial, homesteads, apartments,
and commercial-industrial
property. Agricultural proper-
ty will pay taxes only on the
value of the home, garage and
one acre. Seasonal recreation-
al properties will pay no taxes
for the proposed referendum.
School Board members
chose the option with the least
impact on local property
taxes. Other options would
have created an even larger in-
crease in 2016 property taxes.
The levy increase is due to a
decrease in aid.
The School Board will hold
its truth-in-taxation hearing at
the Arlington Campus at 6
p.m. Monday, Dec. 21.
Community Ed
Jennifer Strack, Community
Education Coordinator, updat-
ed the School Board on the
summer programming. Strack
said that for the 2014-2015
year 1,278 residents were
served. That is an increase of
776 residents from the prior
year. Strack said that the in-
crease was due to an increase
in the number of programs of-
fered. Strack said that Com-
munity Education has offered
more and different programs
to reach out to groups like
daycare providers with pro-
grams such as a trip to Como
Zoo.
Strack also reported an in-
crease in recreational pro-
grams. Youth football had 100
participants while soccer in-
creased to over 50 partici-
pants.
Community Education has
partnered with Ridgeview
Medical to offer $25 vouchers
to get more residents involved
in healthy living through com-
munity activities.
Strack would like to see on-
line registration in the future.
It will save Strack time in-
stead of having to enter all of
the paper registration forms,
prevent lost forms and possi-
bly encourage more residents
to sign up. Superintendent
Jim Amsden agreed that on-
line registration may be need-
ed if the programs continue to
grow. Strack would not have
enough time to do all of the
data entry required with paper
forms.

Thank You
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a floral piece,
If so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the
kindest words,
As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console

We thank you so much

Arlington has been named
one of four initial communi-
ties for an educational solar
installation by the city’s
wholesale electrical supplier,
the Minnesota Municipal
Power Agency (MMPA),
under the Agency’s new
Hometown Solar Grant Pro-
gram.
“The Hometown Solar
Grants are an extension of
MMPA’s Energy Education
Program, and are meant to
provide an educational asset
to each community that will
help teach students and com-
munity members about how
sunlight is converted into
electricity, and the unique
characteristics of solar
power,” said Steve Schmidt,
MMPA Chairman.
The next step for Arlington
is for an educational facility,
such as a school, community
center or library, to apply for
the grant by Oct. 30. Grant
recipients will receive a 5kW
solar installation to be locat-
ed at their facility. Applica-
tions have been sent to edu-
cational facilities and grants
are expected to be awarded
early next year. Installations
are planned for completion
in 2016.
MMPA will award four
grants each year for three
years, providing all 12 of
MMPA’s member communi-
ties the opportunity to partic-
ipate.
This spring, MMPA com-
pleted its first solar installa-
tion at its Faribault Energy
Park (FEP) power generation
facility on the north edge of
Faribault. The FEP installa-
tion supports MMPA’s Ener-
gy Education Program, in-
cluding educational tours at
the Faribault facility.
The Energy Education
Program demonstrates
MMPA’s commitment to pro-
vide educational resources
about energy for schools in
its member communities and
project host communities.
Since 2012, the program has
reached more than 7,800 stu-
dents. MMPA continues to
expand the program to reach
more students and communi-
ty members with the addition
of the Hometown Solar
Grant Program.

MMPA is available at

Cooperative to attempt to ne-
gotiate a settlement. If a set-
tlement cannot be reached,
Arneson said the defendants
will need to file a response to
the lawsuit by the new dead-
line date.
Arlington &
Green Isle
Arneson informed the Ar-
lington City Council about the
lawsuit during its regular
meeting on Monday night,
Sept. 21.
Arneson said he is “quite
confident Arlington has no li-
ability” since it opted out of
the endeavor four months be-
fore the preliminary bond
issue was authorized in con-
junction with the original
Renville-Sibley Fiber to the
Home Project. He added that
the City of Arlington has pro-
vided minutes and resolutions
to Best & Flanagan, LLP, that
indicate Arlington terminated
its participation in the original
project.
According to Arneson, the
City of Arlington should be
immediately dropped from the
lawsuit and should have never
been included in the lawsuit
in the first place.
Arneson also informed the
Green Isle City Council about
the lawsuit during its regular
meeting on Tuesday night,
Sept. 22. Green Isle, accord-
ing to Arneson, was an offi-
cial participant in the original
project from start to finish.

Opinions
Elected city officials set
their preliminary tax levies
Our View: Don’t be alarmed. Preliminary tax levies
usually decrease before final tax levies are approved
Principal’s Note Pad
Guest Columns
It happens every year. The headlines in the local newspa-
per state that local and area elected city officials have ap-
proved an increase in their respective preliminary tax levies.
As a result, some local and area residents are shocked and
get upset about the hike to their local property taxes.
Even though the accompanying article states that the goal
of these elected city officials is to decrease their respective
preliminary tax levies before final approval, some people
still believe the first figure they see in a headline is going to
be the same rate in the end.
That is normally not the case in the communities of Ar-
lington and Green Isle.
Last year, for example, the Arlington City Council ap-
proved a six percent increase in its preliminary tax levy, but
arrived at a 1.6 percent hike when the final tax levy was ap-
proved.
The Green Isle City Council, last year, approved a two
percent increase in its preliminary tax levy and remained at
two percent when the final tax levy was approved.
In the recent past, both City Councils have approved zero
percent increases in their final tax levies.
The city councils in Arlington and Green Isle normally set
their respective preliminary tax levy at a higher rate to give
themselves a little wiggle room. In the end, however, these
same elected city officials usually decrease the amount
when their respective final tax levy is approved.
With rising costs and projects always on the horizon, how-
ever, it may be difficult for these elected officials to hover
at or near a zero percent increase this year.
Whatever the case in either community, citizens will have
an opportunity to voice their concerns during the truth in
taxation public hearings in December.

*****
A school bus full of elementary
students pulled over to allow a fire
truck to zoom past.
The children began discussing the
role of the Dalmatian dog in fighting
fires.
“They use him to keep the crowds
back,” said one boy.
Another boy said, “He’s for good
luck.”
Certain she would end the de-
bate, a girl spoke up and said,
“The dog is used to find the fire
hydrant.”
*****
Upon finding one of her students
making faces at others on the play-
ground, a teacher gently reproved
the child. Smiling sweetly, the
teacher said, “When I was a child, I
was told if I made ugly faces, my
face would freeze like that.”
The student looked up and
replied, “Well, you can’t say you
weren’t warned.”
*****
The little boy was alarmed on his
first day of second grade when the
teacher asked him how to prove the
earth is round.
“I never claimed it was!” he
protested loudly.
*****
A motorist found his car bogged
down in a muddy pothole on a coun-
try road. Seeing a farmer on a tractor
in a nearby field, he called out to
him to ask for help. The farmer
agreed to pull his car out of the hole
for $100.
After the car was on dry ground,
the testy driver told the farmer, “At
these prices, you should be pulling
people out of the mud night and
day.”
“Can’t,” the farmer replied as
he hopped back up on his tractor.
“At night I have to haul water for
the hole.”
*****
Taxiing down the runway, the jet-
liner slowed to a stop, turned around
and returned to the gate.
After an hour’s delay, it finally
took off.
A passenger asked the flight atten-
dant about the problem.
“Well, sir,” explained the flight
attendant. “The pilot was con-
cerned about a noise he heard in
the engine and it took us a while to
find another pilot.”
*****
A state trooper pulled over a driv-
er who was speeding. Hoping to get
off with a warning, the driver tried to
appear shocked when the trooper ap-
proached his car.
“I have never been stopped like
this before,” she told the officer.
“What do they usually do,
ma’am?” he asked. “Shoot the
tires out?”
By Amy Klobuchar
U.S. Senator
This month, I will have the once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear di-
rectly from Pope Francis when he
addresses Congress during his visit
to the U.S. The pope has gained in-
ternational attention for his commit-
ment to protecting our world and
serving those in need. It will be an
honor to be with him in the U.S.
Capitol.
The pope has recently spoken out
on the need to move forward on ef-
forts to tackle climate change. One
idea that would help both our envi-
ronment and our local communities
is to ensure that nonprofit organiza-
tions can benefit from policies that
promote greater energy savings and
efficiency. I am leading a bipartisan
effort with Republican Senator John
Hoeven of North Dakota and with
the support of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops to do just that.
Whether feeding the hungry, help-
ing the sick, or mentoring youth,
Minnesota’s nearly 7,000 nonprofit
organizations work hard each day to
make a difference in people’s lives.
But like businesses, they must count
their pennies and operate on a budg-
et. Right now, nonprofit organiza-
tions, which include churches, syna-
gogues, and mosques, cannot benefit
from many of the energy efficiency
programs that are available to busi-
nesses because these programs pro-
vide tax credits, and since nonprofits
are tax-exempt, they can’t get the
credits. That often leaves nonprofits
with a difficult choice: They can ei-
ther invest in energy efficiency proj-
ects or they can dedicate their scarce
resources to providing valuable
services to the community.
Senator Hoeven and I are trying to
fix this problem through the biparti-
san Nonprofit Energy Efficiency
Act. Our bill provides funding each
year for the next five years to create
a pilot grant program at the U.S. De-
partment of Energy that would help
local nonprofit organizations make
their buildings more energy effi-
cient. The grants would promote en-
ergy efficiency and savings by sup-
porting projects to upgrade and
retrofit old buildings, as well as to
install renewable energy generators
and heaters. This will be especially
valuable to the many nonprofit or-
ganizations that work from older,
less energy-efficient buildings.
We are taking a fiscally responsi-
ble approach, making sure that these
projects will save a significant
amount of energy and that they can
be completed in a cost-effective
way. I am proud to say that in addi-
tion to the U. S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops, our effort is sup-
ported by the National Council of
Churches, the YMCA of the USA,
and the Union of Orthodox Jewish
Congregations.
The Senate Energy and Natural
Resources Committee recently voted
our bill out of committee and it is
headed to the Senate floor. As we
prepare to welcome Pope Francis to
our nation’s capital, it’s time to pass
the bill and get it signed into law.
Energy efficiency is an issue we
should be able to find common
ground on: It is good for the econo-
my, good for consumers, and good
for our environment. It is crucial
that we engage the nonprofit com-
munity, and our religious institu-
tions, in our efforts to conserve en-
ergy and protect our natural re-
sources for generations to come.
Senator Amy Klobuchar is the
senior U.S. Senator from Minnesota
and the author of the Nonprofit En-
ergy Efficiency Act.
Ensuring non-profits in energy efficiency efforts
By Ken Martin
Chairman, Minnesota DFL
A recent headline in the Rochester
Post Bulletin caught my eye: “Daudt
urges House to ‘let Minnesotans de-
cide’ road funding.” Once again Re-
publican Speaker of the House Kurt
Daudt is trying to kick Minnesota’s
transportation fix down a pot-holed
road.
Early in the 2015 Legislative Ses-
sion noting that more than half of
Minnesota’s roads are more than 50
years old and 40 percent of the
state’s bridges are 40 years old, Gov.
Mark Dayton laid out a detailed plan
to fix this aging transportation sys-
tem. Not only did the $6 billion, 10-
year plan build the infrastructure
necessary to meet the demands of
our growing economy, it would have
created more than 100,000 much-
needed, good-paying jobs.
Even though Republicans prom-
ised voters in the 2014 they would
“champion” roads and bridges, Re-
publican legislators proposed spend-
ing about $187 million a year over
the next four years to fix them. This
small amount of funding would
allow for very few projects and pit
areas of the state in dire need of
road and bridge fixes against each
other.
When this was met with outcry
from all corners of the state, Repub-
licans scrapped the $748 million, 4-
year plan for a $7 billion, 10-year
plan. The major problem with the
Republicans’ plan was that it took
money from the state’s general fund
– in other words pitting students and
seniors against safe roads and secure
bridges.
Everyone knows that transporta-
tion needs a steady, long-term
source of reliable funding, so the
Republicans Plan B was a no go. I
believe it’s time for Plan C – com-
promise at the Capitol.
With Minnesota motorists paying
$1.2 billion a year in vehicle repairs
because of bad roads, 2.5 million
commuters driving across deficient
bridges each day and the cost of fix-
ing our roads increasing each year
the work is delayed, the time for Re-
publicans to fulfill their promise to
voters is now.
Only leadership and a major in-
vestment will move Minnesota for-
ward. If Republican legislators fail
to pass the reliable funding needed
for significant improvements to
roads, bridges and transit systems in
the 2016 Legislative Session, voters
should send them packing and return
the House majority back to the DFL
and maintain the DFL majority in
the Senate. With the DFL in the dri-
ver’s seat, Minnesotans can count
on the needed upgrades to our roads,
bridges and transit systems to keep
our economy moving forward.
It’s time for compromise at the Capitol
By Mari Lu Martens
SE Elementary Principal
Sibley East Elementary students
and staff got off to a great start. We
welcomed our students back with a
“Red Carpet” roll out. As students
entered the school building on the
first day they were greeted by staff
with enthusiastic smiles, upbeat
music, and a celebratory tunnel
where they were given “high fives”
as they passed through. The first
couple of days were spent in parent
teacher conferences where parents
and students met individually with
their classroom teacher to learn
about the curriculum and the expec-
tations of that grade level, along
with necessary paper work of
course! Students and parents were
given the opportunity to talk about
student strengths and of any con-
cerns or apprehension they might
have about the upcoming school

History
Twyla Jean Fredin, age 50,
of Danube, formerly of Ar-
lington, passed away at her
home on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Prayer services were held a
the Johnson-McBride Funeral
Chapel in Glencoe at 7 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 17. Pastor
Harold Storm officiated.
Congregational hymns
were “What A Friend We
Have In Jesus” and “Abide
With Me.”
Interment will be at a later
date.
Twyla Jean Fredin was
born in Arlington on Dec. 6,
1964. She is the daughter of
Norman and Glenna (Hafe-
mann) Mielke. Twyla was
baptized as an infant by Pas-
tor H. J. Malotky at St. Paul’s
Lutheran Church in Green
Isle on Dec. 20, 1964, and
was later confirmed in her
faith as a youth by Pastor
Harvey G. Kath at First
Evangelical Lutheran Church
in Glencoe on April 29, 1979.
She received her education at
Glencoe Public High School
and graduated with the Class
of 1983.
Twyla grew up in the Ar-
lington area and was current-
ly living in Danube. She
farmed and also drove truck.
Twyla enjoyed crafting, an-
tiquing and anything that in-
volved trucks. She was con-
sidered a hardworking lady.
Twyla’s greatest passion was
her children. When she talked
of them, you could hear the
fondness in her voice. You
can see Twyla in Seth’s smile.
She called him her little
“Ladies Man” with that infec-
tious grin of his. She was so
proud of Edward with the
amount he has achieved in
such a short time. He has be-
come quite the athlete. Alex
is the genius and well on his
way to educating others. As
any mother of children like
these, she had reason to be
very proud indeed.
Twyla is survived by her
mother, Glenna Mielke, of
Arlington; children, Alex Re-
ichenbach, of Arlington, Ed-
ward Reichenbach, of Arling-
ton, and Seth Fredin, of Gay-
lord; siblings, Bev (Jim)
Mackenthun of Glencoe,
Delila (Jim) Duffy of Glen-
coe, Peg (Ken) Drentlaw of
Green Isle; as well as numer-
ous nieces, nephews and
friends.
Twyla is preceded in death
by her father, Norman
Mielke; and nephew, Dustin
Michaelis.

kills.
“I was pleased with the
way we were able to create

wait for their mistakes, and it
was also nice to get some
girls their first varsity game
experience,” said Sibley East
head coach Chip Wolverton.

The Sibley East varsity

played match on both sides
with lots of long rallies,” said
Sibley East head coach Chip
Wolverton.  “We made some
great defensive plays and
were in position to make
those plays more than we
have been all season.  Our
serving and blocking were
both very good all night and
we played with a high level
of energy throughout.  Losing
any match is frustrating, but
losing to a team that went to
state last year in a close
match that could have gone
either way gives some valida-
tion that we are a good team
that is on the right track.”

The Sibley East varsity
football team lost to visiting
New Richard-Hartland-Ellen-
dale-Geneva 34-19 on Friday
night, Sept. 18.
The Wolverines, who fell
behind 34-0, scored three
touchdowns late in the sec-
ond half to climb within 15
points.
Junior Brody Bates scored
the first Sibley East touch-
down on a 2-yard run. Senior
Lorenzo Bortoletto followed
with the extra point kick.
Sophomore Gavin Bates
scored the second Wolverine
touchdown on a 6-yard run.
The extra point kick was no
good.
The final Sibley East score
came on a 61-yard pass from
Gavin Bates to Brody Bates.
The run for the two-point
conversion was stopped.
Brody Bates led the Sibley
East ground game with 100
yards on 17 carries. Sopho-
more Kevin Durham con-
tributed 83 yards on 13 rush-
es while Gavin Bates had 24
yards on six attempts.
Gavin Bates, who did not
throw an interception, com-
pleted six of 13 passing at-
tempts for 148 yards and one
touchdown.
Brody Bates caught two
passes for 66 yards and one
touchdown while junior Scott
Holmquist had two receptions
for 37 yards. Senior Paul
Glisczinski snared one pass
for 30 yards while sophomore
Jesus Rodriguez added one
reception for 15 yards.
“We made a lot of unchar-
acteristic mistakes,” said Sib-
ley East head coach Chuck
Hartman. “We didn’t get off
blocks like we had been
doing all season or tackle
very well. Those two things
will get you beat all night
long. Once we started play-
ing better we played pretty
much even the rest of the
game and found some posi-
tives to build on. Our goal is
to continue to develop the
kind of elite consistency that
wins games.”
Hartman added, “We had
good balance on offense. We
had two backs at or around
100 yards apiece and Gavin
Bates continued to improve at
quarterback throwing for 148
yards with one touchdown
and no interceptions. He
spread the ball around to four
different receivers and had
the protection and patience to
find the drag route coming
across from the backside.”
Senior Christian Figueroa
sparked the Sibley East de-
fense with a solo tackle, an
assisted tackle and two quar-
terback sacks. Brody Bates
contributed five solo tackles
and three assisted tackles

Motorists traveling on Min-
nesota highways this fall
need to be aware of large
farm equipment transporting
crops to markets, grain eleva-
tors and processing plants,
according to the Minnesota
Department of Transporta-
tion.
“Harvest season is begin-
ning and farmers will be in
every corner of the state
using the highways,” said Sue
Groth, state traffic engineer.
“Motorists need to be pre-
pared to encounter slow-mov-
ing farm vehicles, especially
on rural, two-lane roads.”
Farm equipment is large
and heavy, making it hard for
operators to accelerate, slow
down and stop. The machines
also make wide turns and
sometimes cross over the
center line. In addition, farm
vehicles can create large
blind spots, making it diffi-
cult for operators to see ap-
proaching vehicles. All of
these factors can cause seri-
ous crashes.
During 2012-14, 414 traffic
crashes took place on Min-
nesota roads involving at
least one farm vehicle, result-
ing in 13 fatalities and 202
injuries. Of the 13 fatalities,
eight were farm vehicle rid-
ers; of the 202 injuries, 48
were farm vehicle riders.
“The biggest factors con-
tributing to farm
equipment/vehicle crashes are
inattention, unsafe passing
and speed,” Groth said. “Mo-
torists should always slow
down and use caution when
approaching farm equip-
ment.”
Motorists should:
• Watch for debris dropped
by trucks hauling sugar beets
and other crops. It is safer to
brake or drive through debris
than to veer into oncoming
cars or off the road
• Wait for a safe place to
pass
• Wear seatbelts
• Drive with headlights on
at all times
Farm equipment operators
should:
• Use lights and flashers to
make equipment more visible
• Use slow-moving vehicle
emblems on equipment trav-
eling less than 30 mph
• Consider using a follow
vehicle when moving equip-
ment, especially at night.
MnDOT asks motorists, farm equipment operators
to safely share the road during the harvest season

The Minnesota Department
of Agriculture (MDA) advis-
es farmers and fertilizer ap-
plicators to check soil tem-
peratures when timing appli-
cation of ammonium-based
nitrogen fertilizers this fall.
“In areas where fall nitro-
gen applications are appropri-
ate, soil temperature, not har-
vest progress, should be your
guide of when to apply,” says
Bruce Montgomery, manager
of the MDA Fertilizer Man-
agement Section. “Waiting
until soil temperature stays
below 50º F before applying
anhydrous ammonia and urea
increases the availability of
nitrogen to next season’s crop
and decreases the amount of
nitrate that could potentially
leach into groundwater.”
Soil temperature is meas-
ured at a six-inch depth; the
same depth anhydrous ammo-
nia is typically applied. To
help farmers know when the
target 50º F soil temperature
has been reached, the MDA
has established 21 real-time,
statewide soil temperature
monitoring stations,
(http://gis.mda.state.mn.us/so
iltemp). Station data is updat-
ed every 15 minutes with the
help of satellite uplink tech-
nology from the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources and the National
Weather Service.
According to Dr. Mark
Seeley, University of Min-
nesota Extension climatolo-
gist, on average soil tempera-
tures reach 50º F during the
first week in October in
northern Minnesota and the
fourth week of October in
southern Minnesota.
In addition to delaying ap-
plication until soil tempera-
tures stay below 50º F, best
management practices for ni-
trogen use developed by the
University of Minnesota Ex-
tension recommend using a
nitrification inhibitor when
fall applying anhydrous am-
monia and urea in south-cen-
tral Minnesota. In southeast
Minnesota’s karst region and
statewide on coarse-textured
soils, fall application of nitro-
gen fertilizer is not recom-
mended regardless of soil
temperature. Specific nitro-
gen use recommendations by
region of the state are at
www.mda.state.mn.us/nitro-
genbmps.
The MDA has announced
plans to develop a rule over
the next two to three years
which will restrict fall nitro-
gen fertilizer application in
areas vulnerable to ground-
water contamination. This
would include southeast Min-
nesota’s karst region and
statewide on coarse-textured
soils. The rulemaking is part
of the state’s revised Nitrogen
Fertilizer Management Plan
which was completed March
of this year. For more infor-
mation on the plan, go to
www.mda.state.mn.us/nfmp.
Farmers encouraged to use soil temperature
to guide the fall nitrogen application timing
A post-Labor Day report
from the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources
shows a significant increase
in the number of people buy-
ing permits and staying
overnight at Minnesota state
parks and recreation areas in
2015 compared with 2014.
Erika Rivers, director of the
DNR’s Parks and Trails Divi-
sion, expects the upward
trend to continue as fall color
spreads across the state.
“We are anticipating a lot
of visitors at parks this fall,
enjoying good weather and
fall colors,” she said.
The new report shows that
year-to-date (Jan. 1-Sept. 7)
sales of one-day permits in
2015 are up 16 percent over
the same time period in 2014,
and sales of year-round per-
mits are up 12 percent.
Overnight stays also are up
by 9 percent compared with
last year. These results con-
tinue the trend of steady in-
creases over the past several
years.
Earlier data showed that,
between fiscal year 2013
(July 1 to June 30) and fiscal
year 2015:
• Sales of one-day vehicle
permits ($5) increased 24 per-
cent.
• Sales of year-round vehi-
cle permits ($25) increased
19 percent.
• Overnight stays increased
13 percent.

Green Isle resident Bruce
Beckwith received the presti-
gious Spirit Award from
Lutheran Social Service of
Minnesota (LSS). The award
honors employees who
demonstrate outstanding
commitment and dedication
to Lutheran Social Service of
Minnesota’s vision and mis-
sion.
This year, 91 of the 2,300

Beckwith serves in Disability
Services as a Direct Support

cial Service of Minnesota.
"As we celebrate 150 years
of service in Minnesota, I am
proud to honor employees
who step up each day, some-
times in extraordinary ways,
to answer the call to help our
neighbors,” explained Jodi
Harpstead, CEO of Lutheran
Social Service of Minnesota.
"The Spirit Award is a special
recognition for employees
who have made outstanding
contributions in their work
and our mission to inspire
hope, change lives and build
community. It’s a privilege
to work with these colleagues
who exemplify our rich tradi-
tion of competence and com-
passionate care for the neigh-
bor.” Spirit Award winners
were honored and recognized
at an awards luncheon at

We offer traditional funeral options and cremation as well
as honoring all family wishes. Did you know that some
families have a traditional visitation and funeral and then
cremation? We also provide Irrevocable Funeral Trusts so the
monies can be sheltered in the event of an extended nursing
home stay.
Feel free to contact us for a no obligation visit. Pre-plan-
ning and possibly pre-funded final expenses can relieve fami-
ly stress and even save money.
