The public is encouraged to
attend an informational meet-
ing on Highway 5 projects
scheduled for construction
this summer, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT).
The open house will be
held at the Arlington Commu-
nity Center from 5 p.m. to
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 19.
Mn/DOT staff and assisting
consultants will be able to ad-
dress impacts of the two proj-
ects.
The first project is High-
way 5 from Gaylord to Ar-
lington which will be con-
ducted in May and June. This
project will include mill and
overlay resurfacing. In addi-
tion, it will include sidewalk
reconstruction in Arlington.
There will be lane closures
and delays in conjunction
with this project. There will
also be a short detour for
bridge repair work.
The second project is High-
way 5 from Arlington to
Green Isle which will be con-
ducted in July to early Sep-
tember. This project will in-
clude pavement replacement
and culvert work. Traffic will
be detoured in two stages to
county roads.
Each project will cost
around $3 million and will
provide the motorists with a
smoother, safer ride, accord-
ing to Mn/DOT.
Prior to the resurfacing
project from Gaylord to Ar-
lington, the traffic signal light
at the intersection of High-
way 5 and West Main Street
in Arlington will be deactivat-
ed for a three-month evalua-
tion period.
In place of the signal light,
through-stop control (where
Highway 5 traffic does not
stop, but West Main Street
traffic does) will be imple-
mented and evaluated. If no
adverse traffic impacts are
observed during the evalua-
tion period, the signal will be
removed as part of the resur-
facing project, according to
Mn/DOT An earlier engi-
neering study determined the
existing traffic signal is not
needed now or in the future.
Public invited to Highway 5 construction meeting
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Green Isle City Coun-
cil, during a recent regular
meeting, unanimously ap-
proved a motion to raise the
water rates and base charge
beginning in 2013 through
2018 based on the study from
AEM Financial.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge and
City Council members Todd
Burg, Brian Oelfke, Shawn
Harms and Mark Wentzlaff
all voted in support of the
motion.
The base rate will increase
from $4.80 in 2012 to $6 in
2013.
The rate for up to 10,000
gallons of water will increase
from $3 in 2012 to $3.90 in
2013.
The rate for 10, 001 to
25,000 gallons of water will
increase from $3.75 in 2012
to $4.88 in 2013.
The rate for 25,001 and
more gallons of water will in-
crease from $4.69 in 2012 to
$6.10 in 2013.
The City Council made the
move after Sarah Rathlisberg-
er and Brad Falteysek from
AEM Financial presented a
basic overview on Fund Ac-
counting to the City Council.
Falteysek then presented a
detailed report on the water
and sewer rates for the City
of Green Isle. Falteysek sug-
gested that the city raise the
water rates and base charge
beginning in 2013 through
2018. The city, he said, could
then have a positive water
fund balance in 2018.
Other Business
• Joe Kreger commented
that the Green Isle Baseball
Association found a roller at-
tachment to be used with the
mower at the baseball park.
The equipment is at Arnolds
in Glencoe and the cost is
$394 plus $150 for assembly
to the mower.
• Kreger, in other news, re-
ported that the Park Board
met on Monday, Feb. 25.
There was some concern
about the safety of play-
ground equipment. Park
Board member Kris Winkel-
man offered to look at the
equipment and make sugges-
tions on possible repairs.
• In another matter, Kreger
is still working on a busing
arrangement with Arlington
officials to transport Green
Isle children to Arlington for
the Summer Recreation Pro-
gram.
• Kipp Trebesch, Sr. and
Kipp Trebesch, Jr. were pres-
ent and talked about the first
annual Jeff Gueningsman
Memorial Pull in Green Isle
last August. The event drew
approximately 1,500 people.
However, they heard there
were some hard feelings that
the local bars were not in-
volved with the event.
Kipp Trebesch, Sr. also in-
quired if the City Council
could eliminate the $500 fee
for the Industrial Park.
Mayor ZumBerge said the
city cannot waive the fee in
fairness to other groups who
pay the same amount for the
Industrial Park.
Oelfke suggested that the
two men may want to seek
donations to cover the fee.
• The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion to
approve a cell phone plan
with Supreme Wireless for
city employee Joe Dacey. The
plan will cost about $45 per
month plus two-year insur-
ance for $20.
• Oelfke reported that he
has received some complaints
about the plowing of streets
and the lack of sanding in
town after snowfalls.
The City Council will look
at the 2014 budget and deter-
mine if additional funds
should be added to the budget
for more sanding.
ZumBerge said plowing
complaints should be directed
to City Clerk Bert Panning.
He added that Panning and
Dacey will tour the town and
determine if the use of the
city tractor can help resolve
any issues.
• The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion to
hold the annual Spring Clean
Up Day on Saturday, April
27.

Tour Of Tables
A record 32 tables were featured during the annual
Tour Of Tables at the Arlington Community Center on
Sunday afternoon and evening, March 10. “Snowmen
Melt Our Heart” was the theme for this table spon-
sored by Barb Meyers and Beth Walters. Front Row:
(left to right) Beth Walters, Linda Sinell, Barb Meyers
and Fran Ferch. Back Row: (l to r) Cheryl Farber, Sta-
cie Swenson, Tara Swenson and Jean Walters. The
event was sponsored by the Good Samaritan Society
- Arlington. The funds raised will go toward the com-
pletion of raising $201,000 for Phase II of the Care
Center Renovation Project. The Good Samaritan Soci-
ety - Arlington is within $59,000 of reaching this goal.

It is not known if the re-
ceiving of tax forfeited prop-
erty by Sibley County is a
possible financial gain or
loss.
Sibley County Administra-
tor Matt Jaunich brought up
the topic of what to do with
tax forfeited property previ-
ously used as the Gaylord
Salvage Yard at the board of
commissioners meeting on
Tuesday, March 12.
Jaunich was seeking direc-
tion from the board since the
county has been charged for
the care of the property,
which needs to be cleaned up.
One possibility to save on
the cost is to use the sentence
to serve program.
One holdup is waiting for a
response from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) to find out the con-
dition of the land and what it
wants done if the land is con-
taminated.
Sibley County Attorney
David Schauer said until it is
known what pollution may be
there, it will be difficult to
sell the property and get it
back on the tax rolls.
Schauer added if the prop-
erty is contaminated enough,
the county may be able to get
on the state’s super fund list
to help pay for the cleanup.
Also what is not known is
what is inside two locked
buildings left behind by the
former owners and now be-
longing to the county. Will
the county strike gold or find
more costly problems?
Sibley County Assessor
Cal Roberts said there is
quite a bit of scrap iron, steel
and copper on the property.
He said in order to start the
salvage process, two of the
buildings need to be totally
torn down because they are a
danger.
Since nothing can be done
until spring anyway, Roberts
said Jaunich has a little time
to look into possibly offset-
ting the cleanup cost with sal-
vage material.
County Commissioner Bill
Pinske asked if the county
had to advertise for bids to do
the cleanup and salvage.
Schauer said that would make
sense and added that the
county has the right to cut the
locks on the buildings and
find out what is inside. Plus,
the county should make sure
the site is secure.
The next step is to hear
from the MPCA and get as-
sessment on the condition of
the property.
Other Business
• In other business, the
board voted to authorize the
purchase of Dragon Speak
speech recognition software
for public health and human
services at an estimated cost
of $10,954.58.
The computer software will
allow public health and social
service workers in the field to
speak notes at the time that
will go directly into the com-
puter system and can be
printed out later. The technol-
ogy will take advantage of
down time.
The final cost will depend
on how many other counties
go in on the cooperative proj-
ect. Funds are available in the
public health and human
services budget. The budget
committee has approved the
proposal.
• Information Systems Di-
rector Beth Wilson was given
authorization to purchase six
tables, three chairs and win-
dow coverings for the com-
puter training lab relocation
project at a cost of $4,600.
Wilson said the new tables
will allow for storage under-
neath where previously

Forfeited property could
be a financial gain or
loss for Sibley County
A bipartisan group of law-
makers is seeking to give
agricutural landowners more
rights under state eminent do-
main laws when their land is
condemned for construction
of a high-voltage electrical
transmission line, according
to a recent article in the Ses-
sion Daily.
State Representative David
Bly, a DFLer from North-
field, recently presented
House File 338 to the House
Energy Policy Committee.
The proposal aims to expand
the state’s “Buy the Farm”
law, which allows an owner
to require utility companies
to condemn and purchase
land contiguous to the parcels
needed to complete a public
improvement, up to and in-
cluding the entire property,
according to the article.
The proposal would uncap
appraisal fee awards to
landowners; remove a re-
quirement that a landowner
voluntarily elects to be con-
demned must be deemed
“commercially viable;” and
ensure that provisions of the
state’s condemnation laws --
like reimbursement for attor-
ney’s fees and damages for
loss of ongoing business --
apply to the acquisition of
land under “Buy the Farm.”
“We’re asking for farmers
to be justly and fairly com-
pensated,” Thom Petersen,
director of government affairs
for the Minnesota Farmers
Union was quoted in the arti-
cle.
Dale and Julie Schwartz
have a 100-cow, 575-acre
farm in rural Arlington. The
family has been in Dale’s
family for three generations,
but it may not make a fourth.
The farm is directly in the
path of the CapX 2020 Proj-
ect which is a major high-
voltage transmission line
under construction from

everything had to be on the
crowded top. The building
committee has given approval.
• The date was set for the
Sibley County Board of Ap-
peal and Equalization meeting
which is 6 p.m. Monday, June
17 in the board room. The
meeting has to run until at
least 7 p.m.
Cal Roberts, County Asses-
sor, wanted the change in the
scheduled time in order to
save money by including the
notice of tax value to residents
in with the property state-
ments.
The county did this last year
and saved close to $3,000 in
postage. Roberts wanted to
start printing that afternoon
and added, “It is very correct
and proper that we do it.”
• Linda Olson was hired as
a part-time home health aide
and will be utilized on an as
needed basis.
• Under commissioner re-
ports, County Commissioner
Joy Cohrs attended a meeting
in St. Paul where she learned
the state has in its proposed
budget $40 million for SHIP
health program grants.
Cohrs said the county em-
ployee “biggest loser” compe-
tition has resulted in a loss of
more than 300 pounds so far.
The next challenge coming in
April as part of the wellness
program involves teams using
pedometers, indicating how
far someone has walked.
At another meeting, Cohrs
learned that cleanup efforts on
the Crow River over the past
nine years resulted in the col-
lection of 58.9 tons of trash.
More spring cleanup projects
are planned on the river at dif-
ferent locations.
The Minnesota River Board
is going through some
changes after an external re-
view. The board is consider-
ing changing from involving
county commissioners to rep-
resentatives from the water-
shed groups.
County Commissioner Pet-
tis reported that the Minnesota
Valley Railroad Authority has
a pot of money it will use on
improvements to four county
bridges.
County Commissioner Bill
Pinske said the Trailblazers
bus transit company is having
trouble keeping and hiring
drivers. He said low salary is
the main issue.

Troy M. Berger now faces
four counts of criminal sexual
conduct in Sibley County for
allegedly molesting three
young children over a period
of several years. The new
charge was added after one of
the alleged victims was ex-
amined at a local hospital and
told the staff about incidents
not mentioned previously.
The crimes also allegedly
occurred in Nicollet and
Renville counties and Berger
faces more than two dozen
felony counts altogether.

The Sibley Medical Center
has been mandated by the Of-
fice of Aeronautics at the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation to bring its he-
lipad into compliance, ac-
cording to SMC Facility
Manager John Zaske.
The Sibley Medical Center,
after a recent inspection, was
found to meet the Minnesota
Private Helicopter Licensing
criteria except for a number
of discrepancies.
As a result, at least three
trees and as many as six trees
will have to be removed in
Memorial Park. Several more
trees will have to be trimmed.
One tree will have to be re-
moved at the Good Samaritan
Society - Arlington while
other trees will have to be
trimmed.
The Sibley Medical Center
will replant new trees in those
areas, Zaske said.
The helipad area will have
to be painted with reflective
paint.
In addition, spotlights will
have to be directed at the bell
tower and cross at St. Mary’s
Catholic Church.
Furthermore, a red light
will have to be installed
above the light pole at the
corner of West Douglas Street
and Seventh Avenue North-
west.
The Sibley Medical Center
will also lose one parking
stall in its parking lot and one
parking stall along West Dou-
glas Street.
The Sibley Medical Center
can continue to use its “Ar-
lington Helipad” while the
projects are completed. The
deadline is Friday, April 5.

light pole along the 400 block
of West Main Street in Ar-

The couple fears that stray
voltage and the electromag-

will harm their cows and
themselves. The couple wants
the utilities to buy a 160-acre
section of their farm so they
can relocate themselves and
their cows. The couple is not
satisifed with just selling the
150-foot right-of-way.
“They talk about a safe dis-
tance -- we don’t have a safe
distance,” Julie told members
of the committee. “We work
there and live there.”
Dan Lesher, the land rights
lead at Great River Energy,
told the committee that the
state’s “Buy the Farm” law,
which was passed in the
1970s, already goes beyond
similar laws in other states,
according to the article. He in-
dicated that higher project
costs could lead to higher
costs for customers of Great
River Energy which is one of
11 transmission-owning utili-
ties companies involved in the
CapX 2020 Project.
The meeting was strictly in-
formational and the Minneso-
ta House Energy Committee
took no action on the matter.

SMC exploring potential
affiliation with Ridgeview
Our View: It’s an excellent
proactive move for the future
Opinions
Guest Column
Letters To The Editor
The Sibley Medical Center Board and the Arlington City
Council, based upon a goal set by Mayor Jim Kreft, initiated
exploratory discussions with several other healthcare systems
for the purpose of affiliation opportunities in 2012.
The Sibley Medical Center reached out to seven other
healthcare organizations and had preliminary dialogue with
three of the seven which expressed interest in a possible affili-
ation with the local healthcare facility. Each of the three
healthcare systems was asked to respond to a series of ques-
tions by the Sibley Medical Center Board.
Based on the responses to these questions, the Sibley Med-
ical Center Board decided to focus preliminary discussions on
a potential affiliation relationship between the Sibley Medical
Center and the Ridgeview Medical Center.
The potential affiliation with the Ridgeview Medical Center
makes sense for a number of reasons.
The Sibley Medical Center Board and the Arlington City
Council are being proactive and looking at the big picture.
The Sibley Medical Center is also in an excellent negotiating
position because it is a successful healthcare facility.
Affiliations, consolidations, cooperations and specializations
are the current trend in the healthcare industry. During the past
several decades, small town hospitals could survive and
thrive. That is not the case these days. Medical facilities in
small communities need to partner and affiliate with large
healthcare organizations in order to be successful in the future.
Without an affiliation in the future, the long-term success of
the Sibley Medical Center would be jeopardy.
The Sibley Medical Center already has an excellent relation-
ship with the Ridgeview Medical Center in the form of an ad-
ministrative contract, ambulance service and various special-
ists. The Sibley Medical Center, based upon this current rela-
tionship, knows and trusts the Ridgeview Medical Center. In
addition, it is also in the Ridgeview Medical Center’s long-
term plan to be affiliated with the Sibley Medical Center.
The Sibley Medical Center and the Arlington City Council
are on the right track and have proceeded with caution during
the past several months. The ultimate goal for this affiliation is
to enhance access to excellent healthcare services now and for
decades down the road. Two other important goals are to
maintain a local voice and a long-term healthcare presence in
Arlington and for the surrounding area.

When the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) recently recom-
mended eliminating wrestling from
the games starting in 2020, it struck
me -- and I’m sure a great many
other Minnesotans -- as not only a
blow to Olympic tradition, but also
as just plain wrong.
As a former high school wrestler
from a state with a great wrestling
tradition, I think this ill-considered
decision should be reversed, and I
have joined a growing chorus of
people in the United States and
across the world who have called on
the IOC to reinstate the sport.
Wrestling taught me hard work,
discipline, and the ability to think on
my feet (and on the mat), just as it
has done for generations of athletes
from this country and the more than
70 other countries who send
wrestlers to the Olympics every four
years.
No doubt, the sport’s absence
would diminish the appeal of the
games for many observers, but to
me, much worse would be the loss
of a place for wrestlers to compete
at the highest level of international
competition.
In other sports -- like hockey, bas-
ketball, soccer, and tennis -- you can
go “pro” (we former wrestlers don’t
consider pro wrestling an actual
“sport”—more an “entertainment”).
In competitive wrestling, the
Olympic games are as good as it
gets. Stealing the gold-medal
dreams of so many hard-working
athletes across Minnesota and the
world seems almost unforgivable –
especially when sports with much
less Olympic tradition remain
Olympic sports.
Minnesota's Deep Olympic
Wrestling
Tradition Spans Decades
Former Minnesota Senator Paul
Wellstone attended the University of
North Carolina on a wrestling schol-
arship, where he was an undefeated
Atlantic Coast Conference champi-
on. He and his two sons – who also
excelled at wrestling – bonded over
the sport.
I’m sure Paul would join me in
opposing this decision, not simply
as a wrestling partisan, but because
he understood how much the sport
means to so many communities,
families and athletes in our state.
In Minnesota, our Olympic
wrestling tradition has spanned
many decades, with our state send-

Wrestling should remain an Olympic sport
To The Editor,
Last Thursday, the Senate voted to
pass the Democrats' insurance ex-
change plan as part of the Federal
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare),
which requires each state to set up
an internet portal (known as an “ex-
change”) for the purpose of provid-
ing access to health insurance.
Frankly, of the health exchange
plans I am aware of from across the
country, Minnesota’s is by far the
most flawed. Here are some of the
reasons why this bill is a dreadful
deal for my constituents:
• Growth of government; this bill
grows government by roughly 100
new state employees at an expected
cost of $60 million or more per year.
• The exchange will be run by a
seven-member board on which the
majority will rule; meaning four un-
elected people with almost complete
autonomy will run the insurance in-
dustry in Minnesota.
• Board members may be re-
moved only by a two-thirds vote of
board members. Basically, this
means the board can only remove
themselves.
• Initially, the board has super ex-
pedited rule making authority. This
power gives them complete autono-
my on making laws affecting the
health insurance industry with no
legislative or executive branch over-
sight.
• In the Senate’s bill, the board
will have unfettered access to the
health impact fund (cigarette tax),
equaling $200 million per year.
Again, no legislative oversight in
controlling what the board spends
the money on.
• The board will have complete
control over the number of and
which insurance companies will be
licensed to do business in the state
of Minnesota. This means you could
well find a monopoly of one or two
companies from which to purchase
health insurance.
• It is likely health care will be-
come more expensive under the
health insurance exchange. The IRS
estimates the cheapest cost for a
family of four will be $20,000 per
year under the new plan.
• The exchange itself will cost ap-
proximately $332 million between
2011-2016 and will do nothing to
improve health insurance or health
care in Minnesota.
• Throughout the legislative
process, the Republican Caucus of-
fered dozens of amendments de-
signed to address the above prob-
lems. The DFL accepted no substan-
tive amendments to resolve these is-
sues. I believe this exchange effec-
tively eliminates the business rela-
tionship between insurance
agents/brokers and their customers
and substitutes in their place a new
government agency. The health in-
surance exchange brings to mind
those infamous words "I am from
the government and I'm here to help
you." There is no way that I can sup-
port this concept and the health ex-
change board will have to change
significantly coming out of the con-
ference committee before it will gar-
ner my vote.
Following is a link to the actual
bill (http://tinyurl.com/a666t68). I
urge you to compare the above bul-
let points to the actual text of the
bill.
Scott Newman
State Senator
District 18
Newman comments on insurance exchange plan
To The Editor,
Last Monday the House debated
and passed one of the largest over-
hauls of Minnesota's healthcare sys-
tem in recent history. The bill cre-
ates a $300 million dollar “super-
agency” that will be responsible for
selling insurance to approximately
1.2 million Minnesotans.
Simply put, it's ObamaCare com-
ing to Minnesota. HF05, the Health
Insurance Exchange bill is yet an-
other expansion of government and
does nothing to lower costs or im-
prove the doctor-patient relation-
ship. In fact, it does the opposite. An
unelected board of seven bureau-
crats has the ability to arbitrarily ex-
clude health plans from being sold
on the Exchange, limiting the ability
for you to make the best healthcare
decisions for you and your family. If
you like your current doctor, and
your employer opts to purchase in-
surance through the exchange, you
may be at risk of having to change
doctors if your clinic isn't covered
by the plans sold on the exchange.
Republicans made repeated at-
tempts to increase legislative over-
sight, bolster data privacy protec-
tions, and bring down the costs asso-
ciated with this bill, but nearly all of
the amendments offered were reject-
ed by DFLers on the floor who, like
Nancy Pelosi, want us to just pass
the bill so we can find out what's in
it. It didn't work for ObamaCare,
and it won't work for the Health In-
surance Exchange.
I strongly oppose this bill, be-
cause it does nothing to solve the
real problems facing the healthcare
industry. I gave a speech on the
House floor explaining some of my
biggest objections to the bill.
The bill was passed by the Senate
last week, and now heads to confer-
ence committee. I urge you to con-
tact DFL leaders and the Governor
and urge them to rethink this boon-
doggle of a bill.

Kim Schneider, chairper-
son of the Arli-Dazzle Com-
mittee, reported that there
will be changes in the parade
route for the Arli-Dazzle Pa-
rade which is scheduled for
Saturday, Dec. 7.
The staging area will be
held down near the city shop
on the east end of Main
Street, according to Schnei-
der. This change has been
made to alleviate traffic con-
gestion near Highway 5 by
the parking lot at St. Paul’s
Lutheran Church.
To accommodate the large
group of parade goers, the
committee hopes to extend
the parade route to cross over
Highway 5 this year, said
Schneider.
If the group does not re-
ceive permission from the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation to cross over
Highway 5, the parade will
start in the residential area
along East Main Street, pro-
ceed down Main Street and
turn south at the City Parking
Lot where the parade will
end. This change in the pa-
rade exit has been suggested
to alleviate traffic congestion
near the Emergency Services
Building.
Schneider welcomes input
on possible new attractions to
keep the holiday celebration
fresh.

The annual Board of Ap-
peal and Equalization for the
City of Arlington will meet,
by appointment, at the Sibley
County Assessor’s Office in
Gaylord from 3 p.m. to 8
p.m. Tuesday, April 23.
The purpose of the meeting
is to determine whether tax-
able property within the City
of Arlington has been proper-
ly valued and classified by
the assessor, and to determine
whether or not corrections are
needed to be made for the
year 2013, according to the
City of Arlington Newsletter.
If people believe the value
or classification of their prop-
erty is incorrect or if they
wish to voice that the proper-
ty of another is valued too
low, they should contact the
Sibley County Assessor’s Of-
fice during normal business
hours to discuss those con-
cerns.
If people are still not satis-
fied with the valuation or
classification after the discus-
sion with the assessor, people
may appear before the Board
of Appeal and Equalization
on Tuesday, April 23.
The board will review the
valuation, classification or
both if necessary under an
open-book style meeting and
shall correct it as needed.
Generally, an appearance
before the Board of Appeal
and Equalization is required
by law before an appeal can
be taken to the County Board
of Appeal and Equalization.

Speech contest season has
begun and Arlington-Green Isle
students are off to a solid start.
Coaches Christopher Moore and
Marie Kreft report that over 60
students are preparing for the
local tournament to be held later
this month.
Approximately 75 landown-
ers who oppose the building of
an NSP power plant in Sibley
County attended the meeting of
the county commissioners at the
courthouse in Gaylord Tuesday.
They asked for a one-year mora-
torium on the siting of a power
plant. The county board again
stuck by their original position
in favor of the siting of a plant
in the county.

Pat Arneson was presented
with the Sub-Section 4A AAA
Award prior to the Sibley East
boys’ basketball game at Gus-
tavus Adolphus College in St.
Peter last Saturday night. Arne-
son is a senior at the Sibley East
Senior High School in Arling-
ton.
Craig and Linnea Bullert of
Arlington are proud to announce
the birth of their first child.
Michael Craig Bullert arrived on
February 18, 1993 at 1:09 p.m.
at Waconia’s Ridgeview Med-
ical Center. He weighed 8 lbs.,
15 ozs. and measured 21 inches

The Sibley East Varsity Boys’
Basketball team, under the di-
rection of head coach Darrell
Kreun, collected two wins last
week and captured the Sub-Sec-

Sibley East defeated LeSueur-
Henderson 72-49 to win the
title.
ing at least one wrestler to
every Olympics since 1968.
In fact, in 1972, Minnesota
was chosen to host the U.S.
Olympic wrestling trials at
Anoka High School. Three
U.S. wrestlers competing in
those trials, including the leg-
endary Dan Gable, won gold
medals at the Munich
Olympic games later that
year.
Keeping with our state’s
reputation for groundbreaking
leadership, the University of
Minnesota Morris, led by
wrestling coach Doug Reese,
was the first college in the na-
tion to make women’s
wrestling a varsity sport. By
opening that door of opportu-
nity in the 1990s, several of
the school’s women wrestlers
were able to compete and win
national and international
events. And it paved the way
for New Ulm native Ali
Bernard to compete in both
the 2008 and 2012 Olympic
games.
Outside of Minnesota,
many other states also have
proud wrestling traditions and
I have teamed up with a bipar-
tisan group of Senators from
those states to introduce a
Resolution urging the IOC to
reverse its decision to elimi-
nate wrestling. In the U.S.
House, Congressman Tim
Walz from Minnesota is lead-
ing a similar effort.
The good news is that the
recent IOC vote is only a pre-
liminary recommendation.
The final decision will not be
made until September, when
the entire IOC will weigh in
on the matter.
Between now and then, I
hope that the voices raised –
both in the United States and
internationally -- will help re-
store wrestling to the Olympic
games, where it has always
been, and where it should
stay. I know that a great many
Minnesotans - who under-
stand our state’s great
Olympic wrestling tradition --
would agree.

The visiting Sibley East
varsity boys basketball team
lost to Howard Lake-Waver-
ly-Winsted (HL-W-W) 84-83
during the opening round of
the Sub-Section 5AA South
Boys Basketball Tournament
on Thursday night, March 7.
The Wolverines, who
trailed 31-30 at halftime, built
a 51-43 lead on a three-point
shot by senior Tyler Bates
with 10:41 left in the second
half.
After HL-W-W tied the
game at 53-53, Sibley East
eventually built a 61-53 ad-
vantage on another Tyler
Bates three-point shot with
5:52 remaining in regulation.
Tyler Bates, who was
plagued with foul trouble in
both halves, fouled out with
3:11 left in regulation.
Sibley East, which missed
four free throws in the final
three minutes of regulation,
eventually held a 70-67 lead
with just 10 seconds left in
the game.
HL-W-W missed a three-
point shot with about six sec-
onds left in regulation, but
guard Joe Aalid rebunded the
ball, dribbled out to the arc
and hit a desperation bomb
which tied the score at 70-70
and sent the game into over-
time. The Wolverines held a
two-point lead on three sepa-
rate occasions in the overtime
sessions.
The Wolverines, however,
lost another frontline player
when senior Max Grabow
fouled out of the game with
1:10 left in overtime.
HL-W-W, after that point,
eventually built an 84-81 lead
with just five seconds left in
overtime.
Junior Brody Rodning,
who was fouled with 1.2 sec-
onds remaining, was off the
mark on his first free throw
shot and intentionally missed
his second free throw at-
tempt. Senior Sam Harrison
rebounded the missed free
throw and sank a short short
as Sibley East pulled within
84-83 at the buzzer.
Harrison and Rodning led
the Wolverines with 23 and
22 points respectively in the
loss. Tyler Bates hit for 18
points while sophomore Zac
Weber netted 10 points.
Grabow scored nine points
while senior Steve Haefs
added one point.
Sibley East hit 17 of 37
shots from two-point range
for 46 percent and eight of 15
long bombs for 53 percent.
The Wolverines also sank 25
of 35 charity tosses for 71
percent.
Cody Painschab sparked
HL-W-W with 37 points.
The winners and host team
connected on 23 of 40 shots
from two-point distance for
58 percent and seven of 23
shots from three-point land
for 30 percent. HL-W-W also
hit 17 of 24 foul shots for 71
percent.
Sibley East, which allowed
a number of second chance
baskets throughout the game,
was out-rebounded by a 34-
26 margin.
Grabow pulled down nine
boards while Tyler Bates and
Harrison collected seven and
six rebounds respectively.
Weber added three caroms.
Rodning also contributed
five assists and two steals
while Harrison had three
dishes and three thefts. Haefs
added three assists.
The Wolverines conclude
the season with a 7-7 mark in
the Minnesota River Confer-
ence and a 13-12 record over-
all.

Tyler Bates, a senior on
the Sibley East varsity boys
basketball team, was re-
cently chosen as the KNUJ
Player of the Week.
Bates averaged nearly 20
points and almost 10 re-
bounds per game during the
final eight games of the
season.
Bates was interviewed on
KNUJ Radio on Saturday
morning, March 9.
He is the son of Eric and
Kris Bates, Arlington.
Bates is KNUJ Player of the Week
A new 10,581-acre conser-
vation easement in Lake
County, in northeastern Min-
nesota, next to thousands of
acres of state, county and na-
tional forests, will boost the
state’s role as a national
leader in protecting private,
working forests, according to
officials with the Department
of Natural Resources (DNR).
The DNR and Marlow
Timberland, a privately-held
timberland holding company
in Duluth, recently reached
agreement on the easement,
which stays in place perma-
nently.
The agreement requires
public access to the land for
hunting, fishing and other
outdoor recreation. While
Marlow Timberland main-
tains ownership of the land,
the company must manage it
using sustainable forest man-
agement methods. The forest
land contains diverse, north-
ern forest types and wetlands
with nearly one mile of
shoreline on three lakes and
almost nine miles of stream
and river miles.
“Fragmentation of Min-
nesota’s north woods is one
of the most significant threats
to wildlife, especially species
that need large blocks of for-
est such as moose, bears,
wolves and many neotropical
migratory songbirds,” said
Forrest Boe, DNR Forestry
Division director. “This proj-
ect will keep the land intact
so that it continues to provide
essential habitat for wildlife.”
Conservation easements
protect millions of acres of
wildlife habitat and open
space throughout the U.S.,
and are an important tool in
keeping working forests as
forest land.
“The conservation ease-
ment the state has undertaken
with Marlow Timberland is a
great investment in Minneso-
ta’s future,” said DNR Com-
missioner Tom Landwehr.
“They will maintain access
for hunting and fishing and
other outdoor pursuits, while
guaranteeing that lands re-
main available for timber har-
vest.”
Marlow Timberland is the
fourth largest owner of forest
lands in northern Minnesota,
with a focus on long-term
preservation of natural re-
sources.
“For more than five years,
we have been working with
the Minnesota DNR, U.S.
Forest Service and Lake
County Land Department, as
well as other private interests,
to find the ultimate compro-
mise to allow responsible
economic benefits while se-
curing the long-term health
and integrity of these parcels
of land,” said Roy Marlow,
CEO of Marlow Timberland.
“Portions of the eased proper-
ty are located in the heart of
one of the most pristine areas
of the Superior National For-
est.”
The $5.67 million transac-
tion was made possible
through funds provided by
the Outdoor Heritage Fund,
created after voters approved
the Clean Water, Land and
Legacy Amendment in No-
vember 2008, which in-
creased sales tax by three-
eighths of 1 percent. The
fund receives some of the tax
money. Additional funding
came from state capital bond-
ing and Reinvest in Minneso-
ta.

Nine new conservation of-
ficers with the Minnesota De-
partment of Natural Re-

following 16 weeks of field
training.
“Through their training,
they’ve proven that they have
the desire, the skill and the
professionalism to uphold the
laws and regulations to pro-
tect and preserve Minnesota’s
natural resources,” said Col.
Jim Konrad, DNR Enforce-
ment Division director.
The new officers and their

Agriculture Commissioner
Dave Frederickson and Com-
merce Commissioner Mike
Rothman today issued a con-
sumer alert encouraging Min-
nesota farmers to consider
purchasing crop insurance
ahead of this year’s growing
season. The standard deadline
for purchasing crop insurance
is right around the corner.
Farmers must finalize a crop
insurance plan with their in-
surance agent by Friday,
March 15.
“Minnesota farmers may
stand to benefit from that
wisdom this growing sea-
son, ” said Commissioner
Rothman, the state’s top in-
surance regulator. “If dry
conditions persist in the
weeks and months ahead,
having proper crop insurance
coverage could be crucial. We
encourage all farmers to re-
view their crop insurance
needs this month.”
The threat of drought is
real again this year. Accord-
ing to the National Weather
Service, “extreme drought
conditions remain in place
across most of west central
and south central Minnesota”
and “severe drought condi-
tions” continue across the
bulk of the remainder of the
southern half of Minnesota.
“Risk comes in many
forms when you’re a farmer,
from commodity prices to
input costs to weather,” Com-
missioner Frederickson said.
“Crop insurance is an impor-
tant tool for managing that
risk, and I encourage farmers
to review their options care-
fully.”
According to the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture’s
Risk Management Agency
(RMA), before purchasing
crop insurance farmers
should consider how a policy
will work in conjunction with
their other risk management
strategies to ensure the best
possible outcome each crop
year. Crop insurance agents
and other agri-business spe-
cialists can assist farmers in
developing a good manage-
ment plan. A list of crop in-
surance agents by county can
be found on the RMA website
a t
http://www3.rma.usda.gov/ap
ps/agents/.
RMA provides policies for
more than 100 crops. Crop
insurance policies typically
consist of general crop insur-
ance provisions, specific crop
provisions, policy endorse-
ments and special provisions.
Minnesota farmers are en-
couraged to review RMA's
county crop program listings
at http://www.rma.usda.gov-
/data/cropprograms.html for
more information about crop
policies available in their
home county. Policies are
available for most commodi-
ties.
Farmers with questions
about crop and livestock in-
surance are encouraged to
visit the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Commerce website at
http://mn.gov/commerce/in-
surance/consumers/farmers.-
