The Green Isle City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Tuesday night, Sept. 24,
unanimously adopted a reso-
lution to offer the sale of 43
vacant lots to the highest bid-
der.
The vacant lots, about one
year ago, were forfeited to
the State of Minnesota, ac-
cording to the Sibley County
Auditor’s Office and Sibley
County Assessor’s Office.
The City of Green Isle,
over a month ago, regained
the ownership of the 43 lots
originally developed by the
Rosemount Development
Corporation.
A few of the lots are locat-
ed in the Green Isle Third
Addition and Green Isle Fifth
Addition. Most of the lots are
located in the Green Isle
Sixth Addition and Green Isle
Seventh Addition, according
to the Sibley County Audi-
tor’s Office.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge and
City Council members Todd
Burg, Shawn Harms, Brian
Oelfke and Mark Wentzlaff
all voted in favor of the reso-
lution.
The bids may be for indi-
vidual lots or for all of the
lots together. The sale terms
will be cash on closing. The
City of Green Isle, however,
reserves the right to reject
any and all bids.
The sealed written bids
must be delivered to the
Green Isle City Clerk at the
City Office or mailed to the
Green Isle City Office, P.O.
Box 275, Green Isle, MN,
55338. The deadline is Tues-
day, Oct. 15.
The City Council will open
and consider the sealed bids
during a closed meeting on
Tuesday night, Oct. 22.
The City Council hopes to
recover special assessments
which average approximately
$15,000 per lot, according to
city officials. Potential buyers
will not have to pay delin-
quent property taxes to the
State of Minnesota, Sibley
County and City of Green
Isle. Although the City of
Green Isle expects to take a
loss on the sale of any lot,
city officials believe it is
more important to get the
properties back on the tax
rolls rather than have the city
own them.
The special assessments,
delinquent property taxes,
penalties and interest on the
43 lots, one year ago, was
$717,280, according to the
Sibley County Auditor’s Of-
fice.
The delinquent property
taxes and penalties have since
been waived so the new total
for the special assessment is
approximately $660,000.
The City of Green Isle
originally bonded for the de-
velopment of the seven addi-
tions. The special assess-
ments were to be used to
make the bond payments.
The Green Isle City Coun-
cil and Green Isle Economic
Development Authority were
scheduled to hold discussion
on how to handle the sealed
bids during a workshop on
Monday night, Sept. 30.
Green Isle City Council
adopts resolution to
receive bids on 43 lots
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Green Isle City
Council, during its regular
meeting on Tuesday
evening, Sept. 24, voted 4-
0 and approved a motion
to accept the low bid of
$6,725 from John Schauer,
Green Isle, for a 30’ X 50’
concrete slab for a basket-
ball court in the Lions
Park.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge
and City Council members
Todd Berg, Shawn Harms
and Brian Oelfke voted in
favor of the motion. City
Council member Mark
Wentzlaff abstained from
the vote.
The bid from Schauer
included a gravel base and
steel rebar.
The other bid of $6,750
was received from Went-
zlaff Construction, Green
Isle. That bid included a
wire mesh, but not a grav-
el base.
Under the conditions of
the motion, Schauer must
start the job by Tuesday,
Oct. 15 and complete the
task by Monday, Oct. 21.
If Schauer is unable to
meet those deadlines, the
bid will go to Wentzlaff
Construction.
The City Council did re-
ceive a less expensive bid
for asphalt, but favored
concrete and its mainte-
nance-free issues.
Other
Business
The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion
to accept two bids from
William Mueller & Sons,
Hamburg. A bid of $9,809
is to repair and blacktop a
section of Western Av-
enue. A bid of $5,512 is to
repair and blacktop a sec-
tion of Fourth Avenue.
In another move, the
City Council directed
Green Isle City Attorney
Ross Arneson to draft a
proposal which will in-
clude a set of regulations
for fencing around busi-
nesses.
Green Isle City Clerk
Bert Panning, during an
earlier meeting, informed
the City Council that a
leak test was conducted by
the Minnesota Rural Water
Association at Dale Circle.
There were no leaks de-
tected.
Chris Larson, a repre-
sentative from I & S, is-
sued a handout which esti-
mated that the short-term
cost to solve the issues at
Dale Circle are $50,000
while the long-term cost is
$85,000.
The City Council direct-
ed I &S to prepare the
necessary paper work and
send out the request for
bids to a few possible con-
tractors at their discretion.

Editor’s Note: Information
for this article was taken from
the book “A History of St.
Brendan’s Parish, The Village
of Green Isle and Minnesota’s
First Irish Settlement,” by
Father Jerry Berger.
A 150th anniversary cele-
bration was held at St. Bren-
dan’s Catholic Church in
Green Isle on Sunday, Sept.
29.
A Mass was held at 10 a.m.
while a chicken dinner fol-
lowed at the Green Isle Com-
munity School at 11 a.m.
First Church
Although there is no ab-
solute certain date or year, the
first St. Brenden’s Catholic
Church in Green Isle was
very likely built in 1863 for a
number of reasons.
“The presence of Father
Venn in Sibley County is one
reason supporting 1863 as the
date the first church was built
here, since we can be sure a
church would be built when it
was certain a priest would
visit it regularly, ” Father
Berger wrote in the book.
A second point in support
of this claim is the informa-
tion given in the Catholic Al-
manac for 1864, according to
the book. Besides listing
Jessenland, Henderson and
St. John’s, it also gives the
following information:
“Washington Lake, Sibley
County, visited from Hender-
son,” and “Springmount,
Carver County, visited from
Waconia. Springmount, ac-
cording to the book, was an
early name for Assumption.
“Hence, Washington Lake
could only refer to the present
Green Isle parish. Since this
information would have been
gathered the previous fall in
1863, we are safe in saying a
church was built at Green Isle
in 1863,” Father Berger wrote
in the book.
A third point in support of
the claim is that the oldest
tombstone in the St. Bren-
dan’s Catholic Cemetery
bears the date 1863, accord-
ing to the book. Prior to this,
all funerals were held at the
church in Jessenland and
burials were made in the
cemetery there. If there was
no church in Green Isle in
1863, there would have been
no burials in Green Isle ei-
ther.
The fourth point in support
of the claim is that there is
also a record of a wedding in
Green Isle in 1863, according
to the book. “Again it would
seem strange that a wedding
was held here if there were no
church,” Father Berger wrote
in the book.
The land for the first
church was donated by
Phillip and Honora McGrann,
the book said.
From old photographs, the
first church was located about
100 feet directly east of the
present church, according to
the book.
“This first church was a
frame structure 31 feet by 56
feet and 25 feet from the peak
of the roof to the ground,”
Father Berger wrote in the
book. “It was quite a large
structure for its day. The logs
for this church were hauled
by ox cart to Walkers Saw
Mill in Faxon.”
It is unknown when the
first mass was said in the
church.
According to the book, Fa-
ther Venn said mass in the
church one day a week.
“That day was seldom Sun-
day since normally he was in
Henderson or at Jessenland
for Sunday and on the other
days of the week he visited
the outlaying parishes,” wrote
Father Berger in the book.
Father Berger continued,
“It should also be noted here
that the church of 1863 was
the first building in what is
now Green Isle Village. At
the time it was built the town
did not exist. Gradually the
town sprang up around it.”
Existing Church
In February of 1882, Father
Timothy Ryan was appointed
the first resident pastor of
Green Isle. The parish school,
which was built in 1870, was
converted to a rectory,

We thought of you
with love today,

We thought about you

and days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
we often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
with which we’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
we have you in our heart.

Correspondent
Changes are ahead for fed-
eral food program support in
Sibley County, reported Vicki
Stock, Public Health and
Human Services Director, at
the Board of Commissioners
meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
Changes will take place in
the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP)
involving adults without de-
pendents. Stock said before
2009 there was a requirement
that people in the food sup-
port program that didn’t have
dependents (single people or
married without children) had
to take part in a work pro-
gram to receive food support
dollars unless they are work-
ing 20 hours a week.
“This changed in 2009 be-
cause of the economy and in-
creased numbers” said Stock.
“They basically waived that
rule. People again will have
to participate in the work pro-
gram to get benefits. If they
do not cooperate, they can
only get three more months
of benefits. There is a sub-
stantial penalty for not partic-
ipating.”
Also going away is the in-
crease in food support bene-
fits that took place when the
economy was poor in 2009.
“All our families and peo-
ple will be seeing a decrease
in their benefits effective
Nov. 1,” reported Stock. “A
household of one will see a
decrease of about $11. A
household of four will see a
decrease of about $36. While
this may not seem substantial
for some, it is for those folks
with low income who rely on
the food support program.”
Stock reported that starting
Jan. 1, 2014, the requirements
to obtain a GED are going to
be tightening up and chang-
ing. The education certificate
is going to be required for
continued eligibility in some
of the county programs.
“The state was offering a
small grant of $950 so we
could get some people
through before changes occur
at end of this year,” said
Stock. “We have one person
participating and hope to
have more.”
The county has developed
what is called a GED reward
card program. If someone at-
tends four GED classes and
takes a test, they get a reward
card. If they successfully
complete two or more classes
and test they get another one.
If they complete all five
classes they get one more
card. The total is $90 in
award cards.
“We hope that will give
people incentive and encour-
agement,” said Stock. “GFW
and Sibley East schools do
offer GED classes, plus some
area libraries offer English as
a second language classes.”
In other department news,
Stock gave an update on the
state MNsure health insur-
ance program. She said train-
ing of eligibility workers is
not on target. The last train-
ing module for staff to do
training is still not developed.
“We anticipate nine to 15
hours per staff to do online
training,” said Stock. “To be
certified we are told we must
finish training by the end of
the month (September). We
ask staff to be cognizant of
overtime hours. They need to
get their own regular work
done, as well as training in a
specified time period given
by the state.”
Stock said that the system
is not yet set up to track train-
ing time for staff, which will
be reimbursed at 75 percent.
Staff is asked to manually
track time spent so it can be
billed later to MNsure.
Another concern is how
child support and medical as-
sistance, plus cash assistance
go hand in hand. However,
the computer information
systems required to do a MN-
sure application are not able
to talk to each other yet.
“We found out that people
who are currently on Min-
nesotaCare will need to do a
MnSure application at their
renewal time after March 31
of next year,” said Stock.
“So, statewide we are looking
at 110,000 people next year.
We have well over 200 in
Sibley County.”
Stock also found out that
690,000 people need to re-
apply for MNsure after
March 31 at renewal time.
This will be spread out start-
ing April 1 for a six to 12-
month period. It will mean
more paperwork for families
and people using the pro-
gram.
Sibley County is affiliated
with South Country Health
Alliance, which is looking at
an increase of more than
7,000 new people in all nine
counties.
“I wish I had good news,
but there is still a lot up in the
air,” said Stock. “We know it
will be at least a year before
they get it up and running.”

A theft reportedly occurred
at Jerry’s Home Quality
Foods in Arlington at 2:11
p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, ac-
cording to the Sibley County
Sheriff’s Department.
Hunter R. Solomonson, 18,
Gaylord, allegedly walked
into the store, approached the
clerk, reached into an open
cash register drawer and took
$160 in cash, according to the
report.
Solomonson then allegedly
fled the store on foot and fled
the parking lot in a motor ve-
hicle, the sheriff’s department
said.
Solomonson was identified
as the suspect based on de-
tailed information from the
clerk and video surveillance
from within the store, accord-
ing to the report.
Solomonson was later lo-
cated and charged with mis-
demeanor theft.

There is good news and
bad news to report on the
Highway 5 Project from Ar-
lington to Green Isle.
The good news is that final
paving has been completed
on the ends of both communi-
ties, according to a represen-
tative from the Minnesota
Department of Transporta-
tion.
In Arlington, final paving
has been completed from the
Cenex Convenience Store to
County Road 12. That area is
open to all traffic. The area of
Highway 5 beyond County
Road 12 will be open to local
traffic only.
In Green Isle, final paving
has been completed from
County Road 1 and County
Road 15 through the commu-
nity. That area is open to all
traffic. The area of Highway
5 beyond County Road 1 and
County Road 15 will be open
to local traffic only.
In addition, there will be a
switch from the present de-
tour north of Arlington and
Green Isle to a much shorter
detour. The new detour will
be from County Road 9 north
of Arlington to County Road
15 just west of Green Isle.
The bad news is that the
completion date, weather per-
mitting, has been pushed
back from Friday, Oct. 4 to
Monday, Oct. 14.
The contractor will return
on Tuesday, Oct. 8 and finish
the final paving between the
two towns.
Knife River Corporation –
North Central of Sauk Rapids
is the contractor on the proj-
ect that includes seven miles
of pavement replacement and
a mill and overlay in Green
Isle.
The cost of the project is
approximately $5 million.

A Gaylord man remains in
custody in the Sibley County
Jail after being charged with
second degree burglary, ac-
cording to the KNUJ Radio
website.
Cody J. Servin, 24, al-
legedly burglarized an apart-
ment in the Gaylord Motel.
Servin had initially called
the Gaylord Police Depart-
ment to report a break-in at
his apartment and was report-
edly heavily intoxicated.
While authorities were in-
vestigating the alleged bur-
glary in Servin’s apartment,
they received a report of bur-
glary at an adjacent apart-
ment. Upon investigation,
several of the items missing
from the other apartment
were reportedly seen lying
around in plain sight in the
Servin apartment. The door to
the other apartment had been
kicked in as well and a foot-
print on it allegedly matched
shoes found in Servin’s apart-
ment. There were also blood
splatters in the other apart-
ment and Servin allegedly
had a cut on his hand.
Servin faces up to 10 years
in prison and a $20,000 fine.

County Board discusses
request from Gaylord
over Lake Titlow dam
Our View: Any contribution could
open a pandora’s box to future requests
Guest Columns
The Sibley County Board of Commissioners, during their last
regular meeting, discussed a request from the City of Gaylord to
contribute between $10,000 to $20,000 to assist in the $575,000
replacement of the current dam that is 100 years old and is no
longer effective in holding water back.
The request is a smart move by the City of Gaylord. It has
nothing to lose if the request is rejected by the County Board. It
is also a reasonable request since a county ditch and a joint
county ditch empty into Lake Titlow. In addition, the $10,000 to
$20,000 request may seem like a drop in the bucket out of the
county’s annual $4 million general budget.
The County Board, however, should kindly reject the request
for a few reasons.
First, the City of Gaylord owns the Lake Titlow dam in the
Sibley County ditch system. The Sibley County ditch system
owns four dams while the Department of Natural Resources
owns five dams.
Second, the state law states that the benefitted property own-
ers are responsible for paying 100 percent of the ditch improve-
ment costs.
Third, the Sibley County ditch system already has three dams
scheduled for replacement at an estimated cost of $210,000 next
year. The ditch system will cover those costs and not money
from the county’s general fund.
Finally, the request could open a pandora’s box to future re-
quests for improvements from other parties in the Sibley Coun-
ty ditch system.

A man and his wife were having
some problems at home and were
giving each other the silent treat-
ment. The next week the man real-
ized that he would need his wife to
wake him at 5 a.m. for an early
morning business flight to Chicago.
Not wanting to be the first to break
the silence, he finally wrote on a
piece of paper, “Please wake me at 5
a.m.”
The next morning the man woke
up, only to discover it was 9 a.m.
and that he had missed his flight. Fu-
rious, he was about to go and see
why his wife hadn’t woken him
when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. It said, “It is 5 a.m. Wake
up.”

A Republican and a Democrat
were walking down the street when
they came to a homeless person.
The Republican gave the homeless
person his business card and told
him to come to his business for a
job. He then took $20 out of his
pocket and gave it to the homeless
person.
The Democrat was very im-
pressed, and when they came to
another homeless person, he de-
cided to help. He walked over to
the homeless person and gave him
directions to the welfare office. He
then reached into the Republican’s
pocket and gave the homeless per-

Three contractors are bidding to
fix a broken fence at the White
House. One is from Chicago, anoth-
er is from Tennessee, and the third is
from Minnesota. All three go with a
White House official to examine the
fence.
The Minnesota contractor takes
out a tape measure and does some
measuring, then works some figures
with a pencil.
“Well,” he says, “I figure the job
will run about $900: $400 for mate-
rials, $400 for my crew and $100
profit for me.”
The Tennessee contractor also
does some measuring and figuring,
and then says, “I can do this job for
$700: $300 for materials, $300 for
my crew and $100 profit for me.”
The Chicago contractor doesn’t
measure or figure, but leans over to
the White House official and whis-
pers, “$2,700.”
The official, incredulous, says,
“You didn’t even measure like the
other guys! How did you come up
with such a high figure?”
The Chicago contractor whispers
back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you,
and we hire the guy from Tennessee
to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the government
official.”

By Lee H. Hamilton
Washington is beginning to debate
the proper extent of government
eavesdropping powers in the wake
of Edward Snowden’s revelations
about the NSA. It’s hardly as robust
a discussion as it should be, but it’s
a desperately needed start.
The colossal effort to monitor
Americans’ communications has
been going on for at least seven
years, under two presidents. It con-
stitutes an expansion of government
power without precedent in the
modern era. Yet while some mem-
bers of Congress were informed
about it — and all had the opportu-
nity to learn — none saw an urgent
need for public discussion. This is
astounding. It took the actions of a
leaker to spur any real airing of the
matter on Capitol Hill.
Even now, it seems unlikely that
Congress will make significant poli-
cy changes. That’s because all the
nation’s key actors and institutions
appear to approve of the surveil-
lance programs. By its silence, Con-
gress clearly supported them. Presi-
dents Bush and Obama backed
them. The intelligence community, a
powerful voice on national security
issues, has resolutely defended
them. The courts that are supposed
to keep them in line with the Consti-
tution have been deferential to na-
tional security authorities, raising a
few questions from time to time, but
in the end approving all but a hand-
ful of tens of thousands of data-
gathering requests.
And the American people, by their
lack of widespread outrage, have
signaled that in this one case, at
least, they believe the government
can be trusted to keep us safe.
In short, Congress — the forum
where issues of such national impor-
tance should be hashed out —
missed its chance to lead a reasoned
national debate over how extensive
we want surveillance over Ameri-
cans’ communications to be. It’s un-
likely that genie can ever again be
forced back into its bottle.
Yet even the director of national
intelligence, James Clapper — who
once denied point-blank to Congress
that the government collects data on
millions of Americans — now sees
the need for some sort of change.
“We can do with more oversight and
give people more confidence in
what we do,” he said in a mid-Sep-
tember speech.
Yes, indeed. Here’s the problem:
once given power, the government
rarely yields it. So you have to think
not only about its present use, but
how it will be used a decade or even
more from now. Even if you con-
cede that the current administration
and its intelligence leadership have
been responsible stewards of the
powers they’ve been given — and I
don’t — that is no guarantee that the
people who follow them, or the peo-
ple who come after that, will be
equally trustworthy.
This means that Congress has
some challenging work ahead. It
needs to restore the proper balance
between effective intelligence-gath-
ering and intrusion into Americans’
privacy. It needs to demand more
thoroughgoing accountability from
the intelligence community. It needs
to exercise greater oversight and in-
sist on more transparency, more in-
formation, and more constraint on
surveillance programs — defining
what is truly relevant to an investi-
gation, creating more stringent defi-
nitions of which communications
are fair game, and finding ways to
assure Americans that protecting
their privacy and civil liberties need
not mean the wholesale vacuuming-
up of every domestic phone and
email record in existence.
There is no place for the timidity
Congress has shown so far on these
issues.
Our system depends on a vigorous
Congress. The administration argues
that it can provide rigorous intelli-
gence-gathering oversight, but it has
yet to prove it can do so — and in
our system of checks and balances,
it’s not enough to have one branch
of government overseeing itself.
Congress, the courts, and the presi-
dentially appointed Privacy and
Civil Liberties Board all have to
step up to their responsibilities.
Americans should demand action
to strike a better balance between
privacy and security. In the past, the
congressional overseers of the intel-
ligence community have been capti-
vated, if not captured, by the people
they’re supposed to be supervising.
Same with the courts. And the ad-
ministration has hardly been forth-
coming. That means it’s up to the
American people to insist that our
leaders do their jobs. It’s no less true
today than it was at our founding:
the price of liberty is eternal vigi-
lance.

versity. He was a member of the

What Congress needs to do about the NSA
By Sen. John Marty,
DFL-Roseville
Forty-eight years ago this sum-
mer, President Lyndon Johnson
signed Medicare into law, providing
health care for millions of older
Americans. As our state begins full
implementation of the Affordable
Care Act, it is appropriate to reflect
on the progress we have made on
giving health care access to Ameri-
cans, and commit to delivering
Medicare for All.
At the signing of the Medicare
law, President Johnson said, “No
longer will older Americans be de-
nied the healing miracle of modern
medicine. No longer will illness
crush and destroy the savings that
they have so carefully put away over
a lifetime so that they might enjoy
dignity in their later years.”
The Medicare program has largely
succeeded in fulfilling that promise.
Seniors get the health care they
need, when they need it. It still does-
n’t cover all medical needs, but over
the years, it has been expanded sev-
eral times to increase the number of
people covered, and the number of
services provided.
In 1972, people under age 65 who
had long-term disabilities were in-
cluded in Medicare. In 2003, pre-
scription drug coverage was added.
More recently, the Affordable
Care Act (often called ObamaCare)
added preventive care services to
Medicare, as well as mammograms
and other health screenings, and it
reduced the co-payments seniors
pay for prescription drugs.
For older Minnesotans, Medicare
has been a lifesaver.
Minnesotans under 65, however,
have been covered — or not covered
— under a fragmented and broken
system of employer-based health in-
surance, private plans, public pro-
grams, or no insurance at all.
Fortunately, during the next five
months, many previously uninsured
Minnesotans will receive health care
coverage through the MNSure insur-
ance exchange of the Affordable
Care Act (ACA). Those who were
denied coverage because of preex-
isting conditions should no longer
face that problem. Young adults
whose parents have good coverage
are now eligible for coverage
through them.
Minnesota, under Governor Day-
ton and the DFL Legislature this
year, is leading the nation in its
thoughtful and comprehensive im-
plementation of the ACA. By up-
grading MinnesotaCare and expand-
ing Medicaid, Minnesota will make
health care accessible to hundreds of
thousands of additional people.
However, the ACA is not
Medicare. It does little to eliminate
the bureaucratic waste in our current
system or reduce the overall costs of
our health care system — and it will

Linda P. Franzen, age 67,
of Belle Plaine, passed away
peacefully with her husband
and children
at her side at
t h e
Ri dge vi e w
M e d i c a l
Center in
Waconia on
S a t u r d a y
Sept. 28.
Mass of
C h r i s t i a n
Burial was
held at St. Brendan’s Catholic
Church in Green Isle on
Wednesday, Oct. 2. Father
Keith Salisbury officiated.
Visitation was held at the
Johnson Funeral Home in
Waconia from 4 p.m. to 8
p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1. It con-
tinued one hour prior to the
Mass at the church on
Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Casket bearers were Dale
Meierbachtol, Adam Meier-
bachtol, Alyssa Meierbachtol,
Jeff Schuetz, Tim Berg, Jon
Franzen, Larry Leuer.
Interment was in the
church cemetery.
Linda was born in Water-
town on March 30, 1946. She
was the daughter of Lambert
and Helen (Van Lith)
Bukowski. She was baptized
at St. Peter and Paul Catholic
Church in Loretto. Linda and
her husband, John, created
their home in Green Isle. She
worked with her husband on
their dairy farm while raising
four children. Linda enjoyed
fishing, baking, reading,
music, visiting friends and
playing cards. After the dairy
herd was sold, Linda enjoyed
working part-time at the Hill-
crest Café where she made
lifelong friendships.
Linda learned from her par-
ents the enjoyment of
fishing. That is something
Linda and John shared and
passed onto their children.
The children remember won-
derful times of getting away
for an afternoon of fishing,
going up north for a long
weekend, and meeting their
grandfathers at the lake. In
2010, John and Linda pur-
chased a camper and pontoon
on Rice Lake in Eden Valley.
The whole family loved
meeting there for campfires,
BBQs, cards, and especially
fishing. We would tease mom
while fishing, because we
would stop at a spot, she
would wait to see who would
catch a fish, then she would
cast out right to where that
person was fishing. If her
line got tangled or needed
fixing, she would give it to
John to fix, and ask someone
else for their pole. We all en-
joyed fishing with mom, and
loved how she would laugh
and enjoy the banter back and
forth.
Though Linda did not say
too much, especially when in
a group of people, she loved
hearing others joking and
poking fun. We will miss
mom for so many reasons,
and for so many things that
cannot be put into words.
She was always there,
whether we were kids getting
off the bus and needing her
comfort after a rough day of
school or needing to share the
excitement of a fun day. She
was always there to jump in
and help with a project on the
farm, or when you just want-
ed someone to talk to and lis-
ten who would not judge and
who would always be on your
side.
Mom lives on in her chil-
dren and grandchildren. Her
knowledge of baking and
fishing has been passed down
and become a love of all of us
(the girls like to bake and the
boys like to eat it) and we all
love to fish.
We take comfort in the
wonderful family that mom
and dad have provided us.
We are surrounded by very
caring aunts, uncles, nieces,
and nephews. We were taught
how to treasure family, life,
and everyone around us. We
appreciate all the holidays
and birthday celebrations that
she provided and that we
were able to share with her.
We will all miss mom’s
phone calls, voicemails, and
the security she provided us.
Linda is survived by her
loving family: husband, John

Every farmer who is within
reach of a patch of sugar beets
should make a batch of syrup
for their own use during the
coming winter. Sugar products
of all kinds are so scarce that
every quart of syrup made at
home serves the cause.
Fred Riebe and R. L. Sander
traded cars one day last week.
R. L. exchanged his roadster for
Fred’s touring car.
Gust Knapp is now back at
his old stand, having taken pos-
session of the Fisher blacksmith
shop Tuesday. Gus expects to
move his furniture and house-
hold goods to Arlington as soon
as a suitable home can be se-
cured.
The Halpin Hotel at Green
Isle had a narrow escape from
being consumed by flames a
week ago Saturday. The chim-
ney burned out and set fire to
the roof. The blaze was extin-
guished without doing much
damage.
A crew of linemen from Wa-
conia started work last week on
our electric light system. It will
be entirely overhauled and re-
paired by replacing the old
wires, brackets, insulators and
also posts where necessary. The
work will not interfere to any
extent with the service.

Friends of Sgt. Clarence J.
Sylvester, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Otto Sylvester of this city, will
be pleased to hear of his mar-
riage to Miss Phyllis Ward of
Rochester, Minn. The ceremony
took place on Thursday, Sep-
tember 23rd, at the Lutheran
parsonage in Owatonna.
Ed Graupmann received first
degree burns on his face and
second degree burns on his arms
Tuesday when he made a futile
attempt to save his truck from
burning up. Mr. Graupmann was
baling straw on the Fred Tem-
plin farm, 2 miles northwest of
Hamburg, which he rents, when
sparks from a gasoline engine
used to power the baler, started
some straw burning. The fire
spread so rapidly that it was im-
possible to save the straw or the
truck.
War Ration Book Four, which
will last about two years, will be
ready for distribution in the na-
tion’s school houses late in Oc-
tober, the office of Price Admin-

contain 384 small-size stamps,
red, blue, green and black and
will cover all foods now ra-
tioned as well as possible addi-
tional needs for ration currency.

SE football team falls to TCU 47-6
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The visiting Sibley East
varsity football team fell hard
to Tri-City United 47-6 in
Minnesota River Conference
action on Friday night, Sept.
27.
Sibley scored their only
touchdown on a 20-yard run
by senior Alex Pedraza with
1:49 left in the second quarter.
The extra point kick by sen-
ior Quentin Gex was no good.
The score, which was set up
by an interception by sopho-
more linebacker Logan Jor-
genson, cut the lead to 21-6.
“TCU is a very good team
that will make some noise in
the post season,” said Sibley
East head coach Chuck Hart-
man. “They have a lot of ath-
leticism and you can tell they
are really committed to the
strength program that is
school-wide there now not
just in football. They are also
a very senior dominated team
and we have six or seven
starters in 8-10 grade. I’m not
trying to make excuses be-
cause at some point we just
have to step up and play better
ball.”
The Wolverine offense
compiled only 148 yards.
Pedraza led the ground
game with 11 attempts for 44
yards and one touchdown.
Senior Erik Danielson, who
injured his knee, was limited
to 15 carries and 28 yards.
Junior Lukas Bullert had six
rushes for 24 yards while
sophomore Brody Bates
added five carries for 21
yards.
Senior quarterback Brody
Rodning, who suffered three
interceptions, completed only
three of 11 passing attempts
for just 10 yards.
Senior Beau Swenson
caught all three passes.
The Wolverine defense,
meanwhile, forced two
turnovers, but gave up several
big plays.
Senior linebacker Ben
White recorded eight solo
tackles and eight assisted
tackles and became the all
time leading tackler at Sibley
East.
“Coach Carl Bratsch has
done a great job with our line-
backers since taking over in
2011 as the lineback position
coach,” said Hartman. “He
identified Ben as a kid who
would be a great ‘Mike LB’
and he has started every game
since week one his sophomore
year. Ben is a student of the
game and knows where his
teammates should be pre-snap
and gets them in the right po-
sition. His eight forced fum-
bles last season is also a
school record.”
Hartman added, “Ben also
proves that stereotypes don’t
win high school football
games. When most people
think of a middle linebacker,
they think of a 5’10,” 220-
pound kid. Ben isn’t that. If
you have a great work ethic
and study the game you can
be successful no matter your
size. Ben proves that.”
Jorgenson had one solo
tackle, three assisted tackles
and one interception while
sophomore Travis Schmidt
collected two solo tackles and
two assisted tackles. Senior
Austin Sadler contributed five
assisted tackles while Swen-
son added two solo tackles
and one assisted tackle.
“When we watch video, you
can tell the young kids, espe-
cially the two sophomore line-
backers (Travis Schmidt and
Logan Jorgenson) are getting
better,” Hartman said. “They
are in the right position on
most plays and have a great
mentor in Ben White to emu-
late. Same thing can be said
on the offensive line. Tanner
Kurtzweg and Jaden Podratz
keep getting better and all
those young kids have shown
great resolve too.”
The Wolverines, 0-4 in the
MRC and 1-4 overall, will
host Norwood Young America
in conference action at 7 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 4.
“Norwood is 0-5 but they,
like us, should have a few
more wins,” said Hartman.
“They played Watertown
tough last week. They’ll
probably be a traditional Nor-
wood team in the I-formation
on offense. They have a good
triple threat in wide receiver
Casey Clemonsen, quarter-
back Issac Horman and tail-
back Noah Peterson.”
Hartman added, “This is
also the first year we will be
playing for the Wedge
Trophy. It’s a traveling trophy
that Norwood head coach
Paul Henn and I came up
with. After slugging it out the
last couple years with hard
nosed running play called
‘Wedge,’ we decided it would
be fun to create a trophy for
the teams to battle over every
year.”
Steve “Little Bill” Pioske, a member of the Arlington
Greys, tossed a 5-0 shutout over St. Croix during the
annual Arlington Greys Vintage Base Ball Tourna-
ment.

Governor Mark Dayton is
extending an invitation to the
general public to join him in
celebrating the third annual
Minnesota Governor’s Pheas-
ant Hunting Opener on Fri-
day, Oct. 11, and Saturday,
Oct. 12, in the south-central
Minnesota city of Madelia.
The community events on
Friday include: a sporting
clays range; “Best of the
Best” tournament, featuring
four of the top exhibition
shooting acts in the world;
and the 2013 Minnesota Gov-
ernor ’s Pheasant Hunting
Opener’s banquet and recep-
tion, which will include live
music by Minnesota-based
singer/songwriter Martin Zel-
lar and the Hardaways.
On Saturday, a pancake
breakfast will kick off a day
of pheasant hunting for the
community, state leaders, dig-
nitaries and other hunters
who will participate in the
event, among hunters across
the state.
The Governor ’s Opener
honors and promotes Min-
nesota’s longstanding hunting
tradition. This event will
showcase the many hunting,
recreational, travel and local
opportunities that the Madelia
area and south-central Min-
nesota has to offer visitors.
More information, event
details and updates can be
found at www. mn-
pheasant.com.
Dayton initiated the Gover-
nor ’s Pheasant Hunting
Opener in 2011. Previous
host communities were Mon-
tevideo and Marshall. The
2013 event is being coordi-
nated by the city of Madelia,
Madelia Chamber of Com-
merce, Explore Minnesota
Tourism and the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR).
Madelia has more than
8,600 acres of public hunting
land, within 20 miles of the
city, which is 20 minutes
west of Mankato and just
over an hour and a half south-
west of Minneapolis.
Governor’s pheasant hunting opener
to be held in Madelia on Oct. 14, 15
Three small areas of
Winona and Houston counties
that have high deer densities
will be open to an early antler-
less deer hunt Thursday, Oct.
17 through Sunday, Oct. 20,
the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR)
said.
Two portions of deer permit
area 346 will be open as well
as one portion of permit area
345. Hunt areas are detailed
online and on the large, fold-
out deer map included in the
2013 Hunting and Trapping
Regulations Handbook.
“While the overall deer per-
mit areas are at or near estab-
lished population goals, there
continue to be localized areas
where deer densities need to
be reduced to desired levels,”
said Leslie McInenly, the
DNR’s big game program
leader. “This year’s more lim-
ited early antlerless season
will be evaluated as an addi-
tional management tool to re-
duce deer densities on a local
level.”
Only antlerless deer may be
taken, and hunters may use up
to five early antlerless per-
mits. Deer harvested during
the special season do not con-
tribute a hunter’s statewide
limit during the regular sea-
son. Early antlerless permits
cost $7.50 for residents and
may be purchased wherever
hunting licenses are sold.
All deer harvested during
this season must be tagged
with an early antlerless per-
mit. Hunters must also have a
valid archery, firearms or
muzzleloader license and har-
vest a deer using the method
for which they are licensed.
The antlerless hunt coin-
cides with the four-day special
youth deer season.
Early antlerless deer hunting will
open in 3 southeast Minnesota areas

FSA Matters
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 Transportation
(Mn/DOT).
“Harvest season will be in
full swing and farmers in
every corner of the state will
be using the highways,” said
Sue Groth, state traffic engi-
neer. “Motorists need to be
prepared to encounter slow-
moving farm vehicles, espe-
cially 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.
Extra care should be taken
traveling in work zones as
load widths may be restricted
and on detour routes where
there is increased traffic
mixed with farm equipment
operators.
During 2010-2012, 377
traffic crashes took place on
Minnesota roads involving at
least one farm vehicle, result-
ing in 13 fatalities and 211 in-
juries. Of the 13 fatalities, six
were farm vehicle riders; of
the 211 injuries, 53 were farm
vehicle riders.
“The biggest factors con-
tributing to farm
equipment/vehicle crashes are
inattention, speeding and un-
safe passing,” Groth said.
“When approaching farm
equipment, motorists should
always slow down and use
extreme caution.”
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 opera-
tors should:
• Use lights and flashers to
make equipment more visi-
ble.
• 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.
Motorists, farm equipment operators
urged to safely share the road this fall

Sibley FSA
2013 County
Committee Elections
The election of agricultural
producers to the Farm Service
Agency (FSA) county com-
mittees is important to all
farmers and ranchers. It is
crucial that every eligible pro-
ducer participate in these
elections because FSA county
committees are a link be-
tween the agricultural com-
munity and the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
County Committee (COC)
members are a critical com-
ponent of FSA operations.
The intent is to have the COC
reflect the makeup of the pro-
ducers and represent all con-
stituents. This means that mi-
norities, women or lower in-
come producers need to be on
the committee to speak for
underrepresented groups.
County Committee election
ballots will be mailed to eligi-
ble voters on Nov. 4, 2013.
The last day to return com-
pleted ballots to the USDA
Service Center is Dec. 2.
2014 NAP
Coverage Available
Our Non-insured Crop Dis-
aster Assistance Program
(NAP) is designed to offer in-
surance coverage to produc-
ers who are growing non-tra-
ditional crops that crop insur-
ance does not cover. The
coverage costs $250 per crop
per county, limited to $750
per county and $1875 per per-
son. For producers who have
NAP coverage, they are re-
minded that the CCC-576,
Notice of Loss, must be filed
at the county office within 15
days of the occurrence of the
disaster or when losses be-
come apparent.
The NAP Basic Provisions
document is available to pro-
ducers at the county office
upon request. The application
closing dates are as follows:
Sept. 30 - Perennial forage
and select fruits & vegetables;
Nov. 20 – Perennial fruits and
vegetables; Dec. 1 – honey;
Feb. 1 – Maple sap; March 15
– Spring-seeded annual crops
& perennial forage pasture;

The University of Min-
nesota Extension in Sibley
County will be offering a
Soils 101 course in the Vet-
erans Building at the fair-
grounds in Arlington on
Thursday, Nov. 14.
This course is an inten-
sive, eight-hour class that
provides a hands-on teach-
ing environment for pro-
ducers who want to learn
more about the soils they
farm. The class is beneficial
for producers that have
never had a soils class and
for the soils enthusiast.
The objective of the class
is to understand soil chemi-
cal, biological and physical
characteristics, to help man-
age soil quality, improve
soil structure, decrease
tillage operations and un-
derstand nutrient cycles in
the soil.
The class size is limited
to 15 producers to ensure
interactive learning and
plenty of time to ask indi-
vidual questions. This class
will offer four CEU’s in
Soil and Water, two CEU’s
in Nutrient Management,
and two CEU’s in Crop
Management that can be
self-reported. Pre-registra-
tion is required by Nov. 4.
The instructor is Jodi De-
Jong-Hughes who has a MS
degree in Soil Fertility and
17 years of experience with
the University of Minnesota
Extension working with
producers pertaining to soil
fertility, soil quality, and
compaction issues across
Minnesota.
Class will start at 8 a.m.
and end at 5 p.m.. Since
class sizes are limited,
please register early to en-
sure availability. A class
brochure can be viewed on-
line at z.umn.edu/Soils-
Fall13.
For more information,
contact Julie Sievert, Agri-
culture Extension Educator
at schu0944@umn.edu or
by phone at 507-237-4100.
Soils 101 course will be
offered in town on Nov. 14
Farm land rent is of criti-
cal concern to landowners
and operators. The added
costs of inputs, higher mar-
kets and agricultural land
prices has greatly affected
farm land rent.
Sibley County is conduct-
ing its annual farm land rent
survey. This survey is
available to take online at
http://www.surveymonkey.c
om/s/TVHZY57. Renters
and landlords are encour-
aged to fill out this survey
to better help the Extension
office answer land rent
questions. No personal in-
formation is requested. The
information requested is the
number of acres rented, the
township farm land is locat-
ed in, 2013 rental rates, esti-
mated 2014 rental rates, and
how well the land it tiled.
Deadline to fill out the sur-
vey is Friday, Oct. 25.
People can also request a
paper copy of the survey to
fill out by calling the Sibley
County Extension office at
507-237-4100.
Results of the survey will
be available on Nov. 1.
These results will be posted
online on the county web-
site (http://www.co.sibley
.mn.us), along with being
available at the Extension
office.

“Everyone says forgiveness
is a lovely idea until they
have something to forgive…”
writes C.S. Lewis.
Forgiveness is a complicat-
ed, yet beautiful topic.
Winthrop Covenant Church
will be hosting a forgiveness
seminar centered around a
documentary entitled The
Power of Forgiveness on Sat-
urday, October 12. The movie
will be shown in two parts,
with breaks for discussion
and lunch.
This event is open to the
community. Admission is free
though offerings will be ac-
cepted to cover meal costs.
People should arrive at 9:30
a.m. The movie will begin at
10 a.m. and conclude by 3
pm. RSVPs for the meal can
be made on the church web-
site: www.wincov.org, or by
phone at (507)647-5777.
Childcare will not be provid-
ed.
Why have this conversa-
tion? Lindsay Kachelmeier
recently graduated with her
Master’s Degree in Marriage
and Family therapy and de-
cided to focus her Master’s
thesis around forgiveness.
“The issue of forgiveness
always seems to make an ap-
pearance in the therapy
room,” said Kachelmeier. “It
is an issue that people wrestle
with and think about often on
a daily basis, in both small
and large ways.”
She uncovered this docu-
mentary while doing research
for her paper and asked her
husband, Pastor Kyle
Kachelmeier, to watch the
movie with her. Both were
left stunned and wanting to
discuss the movie more.
This documentary is pow-
erful and stretches people to
think more deeply and seri-

Minnesotans will now be
able to apply online to regis-
ter to vote, or update their ex-
isting registration, thanks to
an application developed by
the Office of the Minnesota
Secretary of State and ac-
cessed at mnvotes.org. The
online process will deliver
convenience to voters, reduce
errors in voter rosters, and de-
liver significant cost- and
time-savings for local election
officials.
“Today we join many states
that have already demonstrat-
ed that online registration is
secure and that it saves tax-
payers money,” said Minneso-
ta Secretary of State Mark
Ritchie.
In addition to launching on-
line voter registration during
National Voter Registration
Month, the office is making
absentee ballot applications
available online for military
and overseas voters. This will
allow those voters to apply
for an absentee ballot quickly
and easily without the need to
print, scan forms, and return
by mail, fax or email. In the
2012 general election, there
were 10,506 absentee ballots
successfully cast by military
and overseas Minnesota vot-
ers.
“This is a great improve-
ment in voting absentee for
our men and women overseas
or at U.S. military bases far
from home,” said retired Lt.
Col. John Kingrey, judge ad-
vocate general officer, Army
Reserve. “Those defending
our freedoms should be able
to exercise their right to vote
in a simple, straightforward
manner.”
Ritchie noted that applying
for voter registration online
provides another delivery
method for the application but
will not replace paper appli-
cations, which will still be
available.
The online tool was built to
ensure that only persons pro-
viding verifiable identifica-
tion numbers will be able to
register, and online applica-
tions will go through the same
verification process as paper
registrations. Information pro-
vided on the application will
be verified with data from the
state’s Driver and Vehicle
Services or Social Security
Administration. County elec-
tion officials will continue to
review applications in the
Statewide Voter Registration
System and be responsible for
approving an application or
otherwise. If approved, the
applicant will be added to the
voter roster, and a postcard
will be mailed to the voter to
verify their address and pro-
vide the location of their
polling place.
According to Ritchie, on-
line registration will reduce
the primary costs of current
registration: paper, printing,
postage and manual data
entry. The Office of the Sec-
retary of State estimates the
time required by counties to
process an online application
will be one-third to one-half
of that needed to process a
paper application.
In addition to reducing the
workload and cost of process-
ing registrations, online regis-
tration minimizes inaccurate
records that arise from pro-
cessing handwritten paper
forms, such as data entry
error, illegible handwriting
and incomplete forms. More
accurate registration rolls will
lead to fewer problems and
shorter lines on Election Days
as voters will have updated
and accurate records when
they arrive at the polling
place.
“I expect that all county
election officials will greatly
appreciate online registra-
tion,” said Debby Erickson,
deputy auditor and elections
coordinator for Crow Wing
County, and chair of the Elec-
tions Committee for the Min-
nesota Association of County
Officers. “It’s going to signif-
icantly reduce the time and
associated costs of manual
data entry and processing.
We’ll have more accurate
voter rosters at the polling
place.”
Minnesota is the 15th state
to offer online voter registra-
tion, joining California, Col-
orado, Indiana, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada,
New York, Oregon, South
Carolina, Utah, Virginia and
Washington. Arizona first in-
troduced online registration in
2002. Six other states, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Georgia,
Hawaii, Illinois and West Vir-
ginia, plan to implement on-
line registration in the near
future. According to projec-
tions by the Pew Charitable
Trusts at least half of the
states will employ online reg-
istration by 2016.
“In a world where people
bank, renew their license, and
pay taxes online, citizens ex-
pect that online voter registra-
tion will be available, as
well,” said David Becker, di-
rector of The Pew Charitable
Trusts’ election initiatives
project. “With online voter
registration, states and coun-
ties save taxpayer dollars
while reducing workload and
errors in their voter rolls.”
Ritchie encourages Min-
nesotans to check their regis-
tration online to ensure it is
up-to-date. In Minnesota, a
person must re-register to
vote if their address has
changed, if they have changed
names, or if they have not
voted in the previous four
years.
More than 35 municipali-
ties across the state will hold
elections on November 5 for
various city officers, and 113
school districts will hold elec-
tions for school board mem-
bers and/or have ballot ques-
tions. Eligible voters will be
able to register online up until
5 p.m. on October 15. Pre-
registration is not required,
and eligible voters may regis-
ter at their polling place on
Election Day.

Lions Donate New Bed
The Arlington Lions Club recently made
its first payment toward a new bariatric
bed at the Good Samaritan Society - Ar-
lington. The new bed will cost a total of
$2,044. The purchase will accommo-
date residents who need a bed that is a
larger size. Left to right: Campus Mar-
keting Director Theresa Bjorklund, In-
terim Administrator Donald Alexander
and Arlington Lions Club member Ray
Farniok. The Good Samaritan Campus
continues to move toward Phase Two
of its renovation project. Seven resi-
dent rooms will be reconfigured in a
way that there will be better utilization
of space with easy access which will
benefit both residents and caregivers.
Non-slip flooring, upgraded bathrooms
and new closet space will be the focus
of this upcoming phase of the renova-
tion project. Good Samaritan continues
to gratefully accept support to raise the
final $45,000 to reach its $201,000 goal.
For more information on this important
project and how people can help, con-
tact Interim Administrator Donald
Alexander or Office Manager Tiffany
Brockhoff at 507-964-2251.
not cover everyone.
Nationally, about two-thirds
of the low-income people eli-
gible for coverage under the
ACA will not be covered be-
cause their states have chosen
not to expand Medicaid.
Minnesota is doing much
better than those states, but
there will still be a couple
hundred thousand Min-
nesotans without coverage,
and many more who have
coverage will not have afford-
able access to some needed
services.
Although the ACA will
close some gaps in our dys-
functional health care system,
gaps will remain, and many
people needing care will fall
into those cracks.
As soon as the ACA is fully
implemented, it is time to turn
our attention to completing
the promise of Medicare for
all. Legislation to enact a pro-
posed Minnesota Health Plan
(MHP), a Medicare-style plan
for everyone is the only solu-
tion to rapidly rising medical
costs.
The MHP would beef up
the coverage that Medicare re-
cipients get — including nurs-
ing home care and many other
needed services — and extend
those same benefits to every-
one, regardless of age. The
Minnesota Health Plan would
cover all Minnesotans for all
of their medical needs.
Yet the MHP would save
money, eliminating the costly
bureaucratic insurance system
and delivering health care di-
rectly. And, in providing
health care to all instead of
health insurance for some, we
would leave medical decision-
making with patients and their
doctors, not subject to govern-
ment or insurance company
interference.
A growing number of Min-
nesota physicians and nurses
are supporting the MHP, be-
cause they are tired of patients
who get inferior treatment
based on insurance company
restrictions.
Two years from now, when
the nation celebrates the 50th
anniversary of Medicare, we
want to be on the verge of
passing the Minnesota Health
Plan. Five decades after
Medicare covered people over
65, it is time for Minnesota to
cover people under age 65 as
well, finally delivering
Medicare for All.

according to the book.
On Sunday, April 30, 1882,
the cornerstone of the new
church was laid, the book
said.
The exterior of the church
was completed by Dec. 1,
1882. “The interior of the
church may have been plas-
tered by that time,” Father
Berger wrote in the book.
The new church measured
44’ X 85’ and had an overall
length of 107 feet, the book
said. The peak of the roof was
50 feet above the ground and
the steeple rose to a height of
160 feet.
“This church was built to
last indefinitely,” Father Berg-
er wrote in the book. “The
walls built of solid brick are
16 inches thick. There were
few buildings in Minnesota of
any type that proved its equal
in size and substance in
1882.”
Father Ryan held Mass in
the new church for the first
time on Dec. 3, 1882, accord-
ing to the book. The first High
Mass was not said in the new
church until Christmas Day.
With the pews in place, the
church had a seating capacity
of 450 people, the book said.
When all the bills were in, the
total cost was found to be be-
tween $20,000 and $25,000.
“Prior to 1882, the Green
Isle parish was listed merely
as the Green Isle Parish, but
when the present church was
built it was placed under the
patronage of St. Brendan,”
Father Berger wrote in the
book.
The new church in Green
Isle was dedicated on June 4,
1883.
