The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Oct. 7,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to accept the resignation
from maintenance worker Jeff
Paine effective Friday, Oct.
11.
City Council members Ben
Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse,
Jason Ruehling, Curt Reetz
and Galen Wills all voted in
favor of the motion.
“Thank you for the oppor-
tunities you have provided
me during my time with the
city,” Paine wrote in his letter
of resignation. “If I can be of
any assistance during this
transition, please let me
know.”
Paine was hired by the City
of Arlington during Septem-
ber of 2008.
In conjunction with the
move, the City Council also
agreed to advertise for the
full-time maintenance worker
in the Public Works Depart-
ment. The application dead-
line will be Friday, Oct. 25.
The plan is to interview
candidates on Tuesday, Nov.
5 and fill the position by the
end of November.
In other business, the City
Council also discussed the
transitional period.
The Streets Committee,
comprised of Ruehling and
Wills, recently met and made
an offer to Paine to assist
with setting up Christmas
lights on Main Street and
other potential duties that
may arise for $15 per hour.
Paine, according to the
Streets Committee, counter
offered with 1 1/2 times his
current hourly rate or a little
over $25 per hour.
The City Council believed
the 1 1/2 rate was too expen-
sive. After some discussion,
the City Council authorized
City Administrator Liza Don-
abauer to arrive at a plan and
ask former and current part-
time employees to assist with
various duties at a much
lower hourly rate during the
transitional period.

The City of Green Isle
has not received a bid to
date in conjunction with
the sale of 43 vacant lots
in that community.
That was the news re-
ported by Mayor Dale
ZumBerge to the Green
Isle City Council during a
regular meeting on Tues-
day night, Oct. 8.
ZumBerge did report
that the City of Green Isle
has received one tele-
phone call and one other
inquiry in regard to the va-
cant lots.
History
The City Council, dur-
ing the previous regular
meeting, unanimously
adopted a resolution to
offer the sale of 43 vacant
lots to the highest bidder.
The vacant lots, about
one year ago, were forfeit-
ed to the State of Min-
nesota, according to the
Sibley County Auditor’s
Office and Sibley County
Assessor’s Office.
The City of Green Isle,
over two months ago, re-
gained the ownership of
the 43 lots originally de-
veloped by the Rosemount
Development Corporation.
A few of the lots are lo-
cated in the Green Isle
Third Addition and Green
Isle Fifth Addition. Most
of the lots are located in
the Green Isle Sixth Addi-
tion and Green Isle Sev-
enth Addition, according
to the Sibley County Audi-
tor’s Office.
The bids may be for in-
dividual lots or for all of
the lots together. The sale
terms will be cash on clos-
ing. 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 Of-
fice, P.O. Box 275, Green
Isle, MN, 55338. The
deadline is Tuesday, 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 assess-
ments which average ap-
proximately $15,000 per
lot, according to city offi-
cials. Potential buyers will
not have to pay delinquent
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 assess-
ments, delinquent property
taxes, penalties and inter-
est on the 43 lots, one year
ago, was $717,280, ac-
cording to the Sibley
County Auditor’s Office.
The delinquent property
taxes and penalties have
since been waived so the
new total for the special
assessment is approxi-
mately $660,000.
The City of Green Isle
originally bonded for the
development of the seven
additions. The special as-
sessments were to be used
to make the bond pay-
ments.

The completion date for
the Highway 5 Project from
Arlington to Green Isle has
been pushed back once again,
according to a representative
from the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Transportation.
The completion date,
which was most recently set
at Monday, Oct. 14, has now
been pushed back to Monday,
Oct. 21.
The paving between the
two communities is expected
to be finished on Thursday,
Oct 10.
The touch up on the aggre-
gate shoulders is scheduled to
take place on Friday, Oct. 11
and Monday, Oct. 14.
The construction crew is
expected to grind in the rum-
ble strips on Tuesday, Oct. 15
and Wednesday, Oct. 16.
The highway is expected to
be striped on Wednesday,
Oct. 16 and Thursday, Oct.
17.
Although the highway
could be completely open on
Friday, Oct. 18, the goal date
is Monday, Oct. 21, weather
permitting.
In the meantime, the cur-
rent detours will remain in ef-
fect.
As announced in the Ar-
lington Enterprise last week,
there is now a shorter detour
from north of Arlington to
Green Isle. The new detour is
from County Road 9 north of
Arlington to County Road 15
just west of Green Isle.
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.
Another update on the
project will be published in
next week’s edition of the Ar-
lington Enterprise.

Project is pushed back again

Sibley County Attorney
David Schauer was directed
to write a resolution that
would combine the elected
auditor and treasurer offices
by no later than 2019.
This first step was taken at
the meeting of County Com-
missioners on Tuesday, Oct.
8. After approval of the reso-
lution, the next step is to ask
the voters at the November,
2014 election if the position
should become an appointed
position or remain as an
elected position, effective
Jan. 1, 2019.
Another question could be
should the county recorder
remain as an elected position
or changed to appointed.
Since the offices cannot be
combined until current four-
year terms are concluded at
the end of 2014, the earliest
this can take place is January,
2015.
However, to know if the
public would want this new
office to be appointed or
elected, either a referendum
vote or special legislation has
to take place prior to the 2014
general election. First notices
would have to go out by the
end of this month.
County Commissioner Jim
Swanson said he has been
often asked why Sibley
County has not combined the
offices such as in other coun-
ties. He said he likes to do
things through attrition, such
as what the county did in
combining the public health
and human services depart-
ments last year.
Swanson added that the
board can go on record to an-
nounce it will combine the
two positions on first vacan-
cy, be it by a retirement or by
the end of the terms in 2019.
“This way, if we are only
hearing a squeaky wheel,
there is the option for the
public to request a reverse
referendum,” said Swanson
about if the push for combin-
ing the offices is a minority
opinion. The consensus of the
board is to move ahead.
County Administrator Matt
Jaunich said the county board
does have the authority to
combine the offices through a
resolution which requires a
four-fifths majority vote of
the board.
If the board does not re-
quire a referendum to com-
bine the elected positions,
voters may demand a referen-
dum by filing a petition of a
number of voters equal to 10
percent of those voting in the
county at the last general
election.
Steps for an appointed
combined auditor-treasurer
include seeking special legis-
lation or a referendum with
approval.
Jaunich handed out a com-
parison listing the pros and
cons between having an ap-
pointed vs elected auditor,
treasurer and recorder system.
Jaunich noted that with
elected positions there is lim-
ited ability to expand duties
other than those that are de-
fined by law.
If the positions are appoint-
ed, it would allow the county
board to pre-determine a set
of qualifications and duties
and institute those into a job
description to be used in the
performance of the position.
It would allow for a hiring
process by the county board
based on qualifications and
experience. It also could po-
tentially allow for other col-
laborative efforts with other
offices.
“One of the things to think
about surrounds the idea of
what is our long-term goal
and vision for the structure of
our county government?”
said Jaunich in his fact-find-
ing memo. “This is some-
thing we really have not dis-
cussed in detail.”
Jaunich suggested it may
be best for the board to have
a workshop session where it
has an in-depth discussion on
the structure of the workforce
and where it would like to be
in the future. Plus, there is a
proposal to do an organiza-
tional study.
The administrator suggest-
ed the study and workshop be
concluded before taking the
route of appointment with
these positions.
Schauer said he will bring
wording for the resolution to
combine the offices to the
board meeting on Tuesday,
Oct. 22.
The County Commission-
ers will hold their next regu-
lar meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday,
Oct. 22.

Sibley County finds way to support
Lake Titlow dam funding request
By Dave Pedersen
Correspondent
The Lake Titlow dam proj-
ect funding request by the
City of Gaylord was granted
by the Sibley County Board
of Commissioners at the
meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
The County Commissioners
found a way to offer support
without setting too much of a
precedent in case other dam
projects in the county also re-
quested support.
At the Sept. 10 meeting, the
county board heard a request
from Gaylord City Adminis-
trator Kevin McCann request-
ing between $10,000 to
$20,000 contribution from the
county to assist in the
$575,000 replacement of the
existing dam that is 100 years
old and is no longer effective
in holding water back.
Due to the costs and the re-
gional impact of the dam,
Gaylord submitted a Capital
Appropriation request to the
State of Minnesota. Local leg-
islators agreed the dam is a
big need, but wanted local
groups, including Sibley
County, to come up with at
least a 10 percent funding
commitment.
The county board directed
County Attorney David
Schauer to research possible
ditch proceedings that could
be used to address this request
from Gaylord.
The board voted 4-1 to
pledge at least $10,000 conti-
nent upon Gaylord receiving
the bonding that would cover
90 percent of the cost. Sibley
County’s contribution would
be about two percent of the
cost.
Schauer reported at the
Sept. 24 meeting that there
are two ditch systems that
drain into Lake Titlow.
Schauer highlighted three po-
tential possibilities for the
county to consider including
proceeding with a ditch im-
provement project to CD 18
or JD 18.
The county also could pro-
vide for the order to construct
a dam pursuant to state
statute. The board could also
provide general funds to Gay-
lord for it to construct the
dam.
The county attorney ex-
pressed concern about how
the use of general fund dollars
on the Lake Titlow dam proj-
ect could complicate the
funding of other dam projects
within the county.

Nearly 600 residents in the
Nicollet area were without
power much of Saturday
morning, Oct. 5, after a car
crashed into a utility pole at
the intersection of Highway
14 and Highway 99, accord-
ing to the KNUJ Radio web-
site.
Ryan S. Ellingson, 19,
Courtland, was driving a Toy-
ota Corolla when he reported-
ly lost control of the vehicle
at 2 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, ac-
cording to the report. The ve-
hicle entered the ditch and
knocked over a utility pole.
Ellingson was not seriously
injured, according to the re-
port.
However, nearly 600 Xcel
Energy customers were with-
out power until after 9 a.m.
due to the damaged power
lines, the report said.
The pole was replaced, the
lines repaired and power was
fully restored, according to
the report.
Nicollet area without power after crash last Saturday
There were 2,488 car-deer
crashes reported in Minneso-
ta during 2012, according to
Sergeant Jacalyn Sticha from
the Minnesota State Patrol.
In addition, there were 230
accidents involving other ani-
mals.
Overall, eight of these
nearly 2,500 crashes were
fatal while 325 accidents re-
sulted in injuries.
“Our best defense is to ex-
pect deer, especially, at dawn
and dusk in the fall and
spring,” said Sticha. Scan the
road/horizon continually,
which we should be doing
anyway. Being alert and
scanning may buy you extra
seconds, allowing you more
time to slow down. This will
reduce the impact if you hit
the deer or allow you to avoid
it safely. We do not want
drivers to go off the roadway
or into oncoming traffic
lanes, for obvious reasons.”
Sticha added, “We have all
heard the saying, ‘if you see
one deer, there are likely
more,’ maybe at that location
or just down the road.”

Sibley East Homecoming Parade
The Sibley East Marching Band, under the direction of
Jim Callahan, made its debut in the Sibley East Home-
coming Parade in Arlington on Friday afternoon, Oct.
4.
The first edition of the
new Standard-Gazette &
Messenger was published
on Oct. 2.
The newspaper is a
combination of the Fairfax
Standard, Gibbon Gazette
and Morgan Messenger.
The newspaper will con-
tinue to cover GFW
schools, Cedar Mountain
schools, the City of Mor-
gan, City of Gibbon, and
the City of Fairfax.
First copy of the paper
hits the news stands
“Unless we want to get into
the dam business, that leaves
the two other options,” said
County Commissioner Bill
Pinske about not wanting to
take money from the general
fund.
County Commissioner Jim
Swanson said he wants to see
the county give some sort of
support to the dam project.
His first choice is to do a
ditch improvement where
viewers would determine ben-
efits.
“The problem with that is it
pushes us out six to eight
months and this goes to the
bonding committee in No-
vember,” said Swanson, who
added the county could pledge
funds now and have a ditch
improvement project ready to
go by May when bonding
funds may be available. “It
could be a win-win where
funds do not come out of our
coffers, but the ditch fund.”
County Commissioner
Harold Pettis asked if there is
a problem with two different
government entities involved,
with one owning the dam and
the other paying for it.
Schauer said the law allows
for outside contributions to be
paid to the ditch authority,
such as a grant or bond funds.
Swanson said other dam
projects are much smaller and
if the county did help based it
this precedent the cost would
be far less. For example, he
said the dam on Clear Lake is
about six feet compared to the
Lake Titlow dam of about 100
feet.
The cost estimates for three
other dams in the county are
$66,000, $70,000 and $76,000
compared to around $600,000
for the Lake Titlow dam.
County Commissioner Jim
Nytes said the county has the
obligation to help keep prop-
erty values up. Pettis was the
lone no vote.
In other business, the board
has a conflict with the board
meeting scheduled on Dec.
10, so the meeting was
changed to 9 a.m. Thursday,
Dec. 12.
The meeting on Dec. 24
was previously changed to
Dec. 23. The first meeting of
the new year will be Tuesday,
Jan. 7. By law it has to be the
first Tuesday after the first
Monday. Board meetings are
normally the second and
fourth Tuesdays each month.

Free items are popping
up on local boulevards
Our View: The issue has become an
eyesore in the community
Opinions
The Superintendent’s Note Pad
Letter To The Editor
In the past, local homeowners would place free items
along their boulevard for a short period of time. The hope
was that other local residents would pick up these items and
homeowners would escape the cost to discard these objects.
These innocent gestures never seemed to cause any prob-
lems.
This popular trend, however, has recently escalated to a
whole new level where some local homeowners now place
these free items out on their boulevard for a much longer pe-
riod of time. Some of these items have also become an eye-
sore and have created dangerous situations.
In one case, a refrigerator was placed near a curb where a
child could have easily climbed inside and closed the door.
In another circumstance, a couch remained out on the boule-
vard in the rain. Who wants a couch that has sat out in the
rain for a couple of days?
Although there is a junk ordinance, the City of Arlington
has no specific ordinance on the books to deal with these
free item situations. The problem is every situation is differ-
ent. A couple of free items out on the boulevard for a few
days can be innocent while other objects along the curb for a
long period of time can become an eyesore and even danger-
ous.
A move by the City Council to bring back the annual clean
up day in April might help solve part of the problem. How-
ever, a move by the local police department to keep an eye
out for junky and dangerous items along boulevards would
have more of an immediate impact and hopefully reduce
most of the issues in question.
In the end though, it comes down to local homeowners. In-
nocent gestures by a majority of local homeowners can be
ruined by reckless and dangerous moves by a small group of
people. The last thing Arlington needs is another ordinance
on the books for local residents.

A young boy had just gotten his
driving permit. He asked his father,
who was a minister, if they could
discuss the use of the car. His father
took him to his study and said to
him, “I’ll make a deal with you. You
bring your grades up, study your
Bible a little and get your hair cut
and we’ll talk about it.”
After about a month, the boy came
back and again asked his father if
they could discuss use of the car.
They again went to the father’s study
where his father said, “Son, I’ve
been real proud of you. You have
brought your grades up, you’ve stud-
ied your Bible diligently, but you
didn’t get your hair cut!”
The young man waited a moment
and replied, “You know Dad, I’ve
been thinking about that. You know,
Samson had long hair, Moses had
long hair, Noah had long hair, and
even Jesus had long hair.”
To which his father replied,
“Yes, and they walked everywhere
they went!”
*****
Feeling edgy, a man took a hot
bath. Just as he’d become comfort-
able, the front doorbell rang. The
man got out of the tub, put on terry
cloth slippers and a large towel,
wrapped his head in a smaller towel,
and went to the door. A salesman at
the door wanted to know if he need-
ed any magazines. Slamming the
door, the man returned to the bath.
The doorbell rang again. On went
the slippers and towels, and the man
started for the door again. He took
one step, slipped on a wet spot, fell,
and hit his back against the hard
porcelain of the tub.
Cursing under his breath, the man
struggled into his street clothes and,
with every move a stab of pain,
drove to the doctor.
After examining him, the doctor
said, “You know, you’ve been
lucky. Nothing is broken. But you
need to relax. Why don’t you go
home and take a long hot bath?”
*****
After a young couple brought their
new baby home, the wife suggested
that her husband should try his hand
at changing diapers.
“I’m busy,” he said. “I’ll do the
next one.”
The next time came around and
she asked again.
The husband narrowed his eyes
as he looked at his wife. “I didn’t
mean the next diaper. I meant the
next baby.”
*****
Question: What did the police of-
ficer say to the midget complaining
that someone picked his pocket?
Answer: I can’t believe someone
would stoop so low.

Sibley East Superintendent
September has flown by and the
start of the school year greeted our
students and staff with some ex-
tremely hot weather and difficult
classroom conditions due to the heat
and humidity. Now, students and
staff are being greeted with crisp
mornings and cooler fall breezes.
During the last month the Min-
nesota Department of Education re-
leased scores for the 2013 Minneso-
ta Comprehensive Assessments
(MCA). These tests are the most
commonly referred to measures of
how our students are performing ac-
ademically. It should be noted that
the results are not always consistent
for a variety of reasons. Each year a
different set of students are meas-
ured and different exams may be
given. This was the case with the
implementation of the MCA III for
reading in the spring of 2013. This
test was aligned to more challenging
career and college readiness stan-
dards and was more rigorous than
the previous MCA test.
Sibley East Schools use the MCA
testing results from grades 3-11 in
several ways. First, it allows us to
monitor the progress of every stu-
dent who has taken the exam. In-
struction can be individualized to
help students become more profi-
cient and strive to meet and exceed
the standards. The results of entire
grade levels allow us to assess cur-
riculum and ensure that it is aligned
with standards preK-12 and improve
programming for all students. Final-
ly, professional development can be
linked to helping staff members
hone their teaching craft, embed
standards in their class curriculum
and help all their students grow aca-
demically. Most importantly, using
and recognizing the data, both good
and not so good, helps make our
school system stronger and increas-
es our students’ opportunities for
success.
Finally, I would like to recognize
and say congratulations to senior
Ben White who was named a Com-
mended Student through the Nation-
al Merit Scholarship program, Amy
Sell and the ECFE program for
gaining a four star rating in the Par-
ent Aware Program and receiving
$25,000 in Early Learning Scholar-
ships Pathway II from MDE to ex-
tend the number of days offered to 4
year olds and improve ECFE pro-
gramming and Amanda Feterl who
was recognized in the Minnesota
Educator Magazine for her use of
technology in art education.
If you have questions, concerns,
or comments regarding Sibley East
Schools please feel free to contact
me at the district office 507-964-
8224 or email jamsden@sibley-
east.k12.mn.us.
Superintendent explains use of test results at SE
To The Editor,
Recently the USS Minnesota
Stealth Nuclear Attack Submarine
was commissioned. It is a high tech
marvel and wizardry, powered by an
ultra-efficient nuclear reactor. The
nuclear material that powers the
submarine is about the size of a
human fist. It will power the sub-
marine for over 35 years. Yes, you
read that correctly, 35 years.
Many people are unaware of the
tremendous technological advance-
ments in efficiency for nuclear ener-
gy. In addition, the nuclear waste
currently stored in the U.S. can now
be reprocessed under current tech-
nology to utilize more than 90 per-
cent, leaving less than 10 percent of
the nuclear waste to remain.
Unfortunately, our nation has laws
against reprocessing nuclear waste.
President Carter passed this law in
the late 1970’s. Republicans gener-
ally support building new nuclear
power plants because they recognize
the advancements in technology for
nuclear power and waste. Generally
the Democrats in our State and Na-
tion have failed to recognize techno-
logical advancements in dealing
with nuclear power waste and have
refused to support the repeal of
these laws. Instead, Democrats con-
trolled by the radical extremist envi-
ronmentalist movement, have sup-
ported the expensive agenda of wind
turbines and solar power, which are
only being built as a result of gov-
ernment mandates and huge subsi-
dies per megawatt hour. As an ex-
ample, natural gas receives a sub-
sidy of 25 cents per megawatt hour.
In contrast, wind turbines receive a
government subsidy of over $23.37
per megawatt hour (source: Min-
nesota REA).
New proposals by the Federal
EPA and recently passed Minnesota
solar mandates under Democrat
leadership will raise the cost of elec-
tricity even higher. The radical en-
vironmentalists have also influenced
some in the Republican Party, but
the majority opposes these energy
boondoggles, as does the Republi-
can platform.
Modern nuclear power is environ-
mentally safe and soon we will be
able to reprocess 99 percent or all of
our nuclear waste. American ingenu-
ity has always solved environmental
problems when not encumbered by
government ignorance.
Informed and activated citizens
can be influential, as they demand
that legislators vote to repeal the nu-
clear power plant ban in Minnesota
and the federal ban on reprocessing
nuclear waste.
Many readers will fondly remem-
ber the advertising jingle; “Electrici-
ty is penny cheap from NSP to you”.
With the advancements of modern
technology, electricity could once
again be penny cheap and this could
fuel an economic recovery that
would create a prosperous future for
our children and grandchildren.
Remember, our country was
founded on limited government be-
cause our founding fathers realized
that whenever government becomes
overly involved in almost any thing,
it creates waste, fraud, abuse and
higher costs.

“Pickles” Moskop returned
Tuesday from North Dakota
where he was employed in the
harvest fields all fall. He says
harvest help was mighty scarce
in the Dakotas and he received
$5 a day for his services.
In response to the call issued
by the Red Cross last week for
old clothing for the Belgian Re-
lief, people from this village
contributed nearly 1,000 pounds
of serviceable clothing, which
was shipped to the headquarters.
The Arlington Cement Works
is busy fulfilling a contract to
build a large concrete bridge in
Jessenland Township, between
Sections 7 and 18, near the
Chas. Kleist farm. A petition
was circulated by Mr. K. over a
year ago to have the roof
straightened at this point. The
bridge will cost about $2,500
while the expenditure for grad-
ing the approach will also
amount to nearly $1,500.
Cash prices at Noack’s plant:
Cream, 60c; eggs, 43c; springs,
21c; hens, 19-22c; old roasters,
15c; hides, 15-22c; we sell
creamery butter, 57c.

The Izaak Walton League of
Minnesota has been requested
by the War Production Board,
Salvage Division to help the war
effort by inaugurating a plan
whereby duck and goose feath-
ers can be collected and shipped
to a central receiving station, to
be used for manufacture of
equipment for our armed forces.
A WPB order prohibits duck
and goose feathers for any other
than military purpose. These
feathers are vitally needed for
sleeping bags and for flight suits
for our men in the arctic. Feath-
ers should be placed in small
bags and may be deposited at
Thomes Bros. hardware store in
Arlington.
Two members of the Arling-
ton High School football team
were painfully injured while
participating in practice sessions
at the municipal play grounds,
both of the mishaps occurring in
the same scrimmage. Jimmy
Klancke, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Klancke, received a bro-
ken left shoulder, and Ronald
Noack, son of Mr. and Mrs. M.
F. Noack sustained a dislocation
of the right wrist. The injury of
these two boys, together with
that sustained by other members
of the team in recent games, has
all but eliminated the squad
from active competition.
A new high in the price paid
for milk cows was set at the
auction on the Wm. Ortloff
farm, north west of Arlington,
on Tuesday of this week. One of
the animals was purchased by
Ed O’Conner of Kelso for
$235.00.

The Arlington Municipal
Hospital was among nine of the
12 facilities that received a grant
for $50,000 in each of the next
three years. They had petitioned
for the federal funding to help
them implement their plan for
improving health care services
in this area. One of the pro-
grams to be implemented is
adult day care.
Our community has received
40 1/2 inches of rain and 25
inches of snow so far in 1993.
At this same time last year, Ar-
lington received 29 1/2 inches
of rain and 16 inches of snow.
The Sibley County Sheriffs
Department received a call at
4:26 p.m. from Mrs. Harold
Wiest of rural Le Sueur that
there was a three-year-old girl
missing from their farmstead.
Samantha Sue Wiest, daughter
of Gary and Paula Wiest of Le
Center was last seen about 3
p.m. playing outside with their
black lab dog named Nikki,
when she wandered into a corn-
field next to the farm yard. At
about 5 p. m. Samantha and
Nikki walked out of a bean field
onto the farm of Kenneth
Pioske, which is about one mile
northwest of the Wiest farm
Samantha was in good condi-
tion, but stated that she was
cold.

day, Oct. 22, according to
Curator Sharon Haggen-
miller.
Saundra Schaitberger of
Pines N Tiques from Plato
will be present to share her
expertise. Because of time
constraints, she will be able
to appraise about 30 items
during the evening.
There will be a nominal fee
for each appraisal. If people
have an item too large, they
are encouraged to bring a
photo of the object.
There will be a small ad-
mission fee for non SCHS
members.
To make a reservation for
this event, please call Judy at
507-248-3345.

ers of the Arlington Historical
Society (AHS) have taken
upon themselves to find sur-
viving buildings built of Ar-
lington bricks. Members of
the AHS document and pho-
tograph the building and also
search for any other historical
information of the building.
They already have a power
point presentation of the
buildings they have found so
far, but are looking for more.
People who have additional
information about the loca-
tion of these buildings are en-
couraged to contact Dwight
Grabitske at 507-964-5878.

The teachers’ lounge and
an elementary classroom
were vandalized at the Sibley
East Public School in Gay-
lord, according to an article
in The Gaylord Hub.
According to Gaylord Po-

bottle of butter and strawber-
ry sauce all over the desk.
Nothing was reported miss-
ing. Entry was gained
through a screen of an open,

Football Lights 
A section of lights located
on the northwest corner of the
football field temporarily
went out during the Sibley
East and Norwood Young
America game on Friday
night, Oct. 4.
The lights went out late in
the first quarter and came
back on very early in the sec-
ond quarter. The game, how-
ever, still continued during the
outage.
There is only one more reg-
ular season game scheduled at
home this year. That game is
Wednesday night, Oct. 16.
The Sibley East School
Board will have some difficult
decisions to make on the foot-
ball lights which are estimated
to cost $125,000.
Plus, weeds are growing in
cracks across the track.
Joke
It was a particularly tough
football game, and nerves
were on edge.
The home team had been
the victim of three or four
close calls by the officials,
and they were now trailing the
visitors by a touchdown and a
field goal.
When the official made yet
another close call in the visi-
tors’ favor, the home quarter-
back blew his top.
“How many times can you
do this to us in a single
game?” the quarterback
screamed. “You were wrong
on the out-of-bounds, you
were wrong on that last first
down, and you missed a clip
in the first quarter.”
The official just stared. The
quarterback seethed, but he
suppressed the language that
might get him tossed from the
game. “What it comes down
to,” the quarterback bellowed,
“is that you stink!”
The official stared a few
more seconds. Then he bent
down, picked up the ball,
paced off 15 yards, and put
the ball down. He turned to
face the steaming quarterback.
“And how do I smell from
here?”
Jared Allen
Minnesota Vikings defen-
sive end Jared Allen reported-
ly stopped at the Sibley East
fifth and sixth grade practice
in Arlington on Tuesday, Oct.
8.
That must have been a thrill
for the young Wolverines. It’s
a shame nobody bothered to
call the local newspaper to
take a picture.

The Sibley East varsity
football team rallied for three
second-half touchdowns and
defeated visiting Norwood
Young America 20-14 in
Minnesota River Conference
action on Friday night, Oct.
4.
The Raiders, on their first
possession, drove 67 yards
before junior quarterback
Isaac Hormann rolled out and
ran eight yards for a touch-
down. Sophomore Zach
Schnabel followed with the
extra point kick as NYA raced
to a 7-0 lead with 3:25 left in
the opening quarter.
The Wolverines, mean-
while, ran only three offen-
sive plays during the entire
first quarter.
NYA, on its next posses-
sion, marched 36 yards be-
fore Hormann hooked up
with senior Casey Clemensen
on a 23-yard touchdown pass.
Schnabel again booted the
extra point kick as the
Raiders increased their lead
to 14-0 with 11:56 left in the
second frame.
NYA maintained that lead
into halftime and a few min-
utes into the third quarter
until the Wolverines began to
mount a long drive.
Sibley East faced a fourth-
and-five at the NYA 29-yard
line when senior running
back Erik Danielson took a
handoff and raced 29 yards
for a touchdown. The extra
point kick by senior Quentin
Gex was no good as the
Wolverines drew within 14-6
with 8:56 remaining in the
third quarter.
The Wolverines scored
their next touchdown, on a
fourth-and-two play, when
Danielson hit paydirt on a 5-
yard run. A pass for the two-
point conversion fell incom-
plete as Sibley East climbed
within 14-12 with 8:14 left in
the fourth frame.
Sibley East, one possession
later, scored the go-ahead
touchdown when Danielson
found the end zone on a 29-
yard run with just 4:33 re-
maining in the fourth quarter.
Senior Beau Swenson ran for
the two-point conversion as
the Wolverines grabbed a 20-
14 lead and eventual win.
“I thought we played very
well in all three phases of the
game in the second half, but
not so much so in the first
half,” said Sibley East head
coach Chuck Hartman.
“The  defense actually did not
play bad in the first half. We
just allowed them to make
some plays.   We knew we
had to clean those mistakes
up at halftime.  On offense,
we were not hitting the holes
with authority early on and
we also put ourselves in some
long yardage situations.  In
the second half we really got
after it.”
The Wolverine offense
compiled 248 total yards in
the victory.
Danielson sparked the
ground game with 25 carries
for 171 yards and three
touchdowns. Swenson con-
tributed eight rushes for 56
yards. Senior Alex Pedraza
added 20 yards on eight at-
tempts.
Senior quarterback Brody
Rodning did not complete a
pass in five attempts.
“The offensive line did a
nice job as did the tight ends
Colton Bates and Nick
Haupt,” said Hartman.  “Beau
Swenson ran hard and
blocked well and Alex Pe-
draza got us tough inside
yards when we needed.   Erik
Danielson made some great
runs because of those guys,
but a couple of his broken
tackles are what we call
‘weight room plays.’   He
broke the tackle and stiff-
armed the defender on the go-
ahead score because he
squats 500 pounds and cleans
300 pounds.   Beau Swenson
made a couple blocks be-
cause he was in the weight
room all summer.  It shows.”
The Sibley East defense
pitched a shutout during the
entire second half.
Senior Ben White led the
defense with seven solo tack-
les, eight assisted tackles, one
tackle for a loss, one quarter-
back sack and one forced
fumble. Senior Cordell Bates
collected two solo tackles,
three assisted tackles and one
quarterback sack while soph-
omore Logan Jorgenson had
two solo tackles and four as-
sisted tackles. Sophomore
Christian Figueroa recorded
three solo tackles and three
assisted tackles while sopho-
more Travis Schmidt added
five assisted tackles. 
“The defense really stepped
up and did their jobs,” Hart-
man said. “I thought the de-
fensive line played with bet-
ter pad leverage and the line-
backing corps was able to
flow and get into their run fits
better the second half.”
Hartman added, “Our kids
played with a lot of heart that
cannot be underestimated
how important heart is in
high school sports.”
The Wolverines will travel
to Le Sueur-Henderson at 7
p.m. Friday, Oct. 11.

Nearly one-third of car-
deer collisions each year
occur between now and No-
vember, said the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR), citing a na-
tional report.
Minnesota is ranked eighth
when it comes to car-deer
crash totals, according to
State Farm Insurance, which
tracks the trends nationwide.
Most states, the company re-
ports, are seeing a decline in
their numbers. There are two
exceptions: Wyoming and
Minnesota.
Though most people would
expect these crashes to be
more likely in rural areas,
motorists in urban regions of
the state also need to watch
out for these dangerous —
and sometimes deadly — ac-
cidents involving deer. Min-
nesota has 3 million drivers
and 136,000 miles of road-
way.
More than 20,000 deer-ve-
hicle accidents are reported
annually, according to the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation.
While trying to predict
when and where a deer and
motorist will meet is an im-
possible task, drivers who un-
derstand how deer behave are
more likely to avoid a crash.
The DNR advises motorists
to use these driving tips to
help avoid collisions with
deer:
See the signs. Deer-cross-
ing signs are posted in high-
risk areas. Drive with cau-
tion, especially in the posted
areas.
Deer don’t roam alone.
Deer often run together. If
one deer is near or crossing
the road, expect that others
will follow.
Danger from dusk to dawn.
Watch for deer especially at
dawn and after sunset. About
20 percent of these crashes
occur in early morning, while
more than half occur between
5 p.m. and midnight.
Safety begins behind the
wheel. Always wear safety
belts and drive at safe, sensi-
ble speeds for road condi-
tions.
If a vehicle strikes a deer,
motorists should report the
crash by calling local law en-
forcement, the sheriff’s de-
partment, or the Minnesota
State Patrol. By following
these tips and maximizing
one’s situational awareness, it
becomes less likely to experi-
ence a deer-vehicle crash.
Avoid deer-vehicle crashes this fall
With Minnesota’s small
game hunting season under-
way and the firearm deer sea-
son set to begin Nov. 9, the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR)
says making a blaze orange
fashion statement this fall
might not get you on the best-
dressed list, but it just might
save your life.
“Wearing blaze orange
clothing is a safety require-
ment to hunt or trap during
Minnesota’s small game sea-
son or deer season,” said
Capt. Mike Hammer, DNR
enforcement education pro-
gram coordinator. “It’s im-
portant to be seen by others.”
Small Game Seasons: At
least one visible article of
clothing above the waist must
be blaze orange when taking
small game, except when
hunting wild turkeys, migra-
tory birds, raccoons, preda-
tors, when hunting by falcon-
ry, trapping or while hunting
deer by archery while station-
ary.
Deer Season: The visible
portion of a cap and outer
clothing above the waist, ex-
cluding sleeves and gloves,
must be blaze orange when
hunting or trapping during
any open season where deer
may be taken by firearms (in-
cluding special hunts, early
antlerless, youth seasons and
muzzleloader). Blaze orange
includes a camouflage pattern
of at least 50 percent blaze
orange within each square
foot. This restriction does not
apply to migratory bird
hunters on waters or in sta-
tionary shooting locations or
to trappers on waters.
“The failure to wear blaze
orange puts a hunter in jeop-
ardy of not being seen by
someone who does not take
the time to properly identify
their target and what’s be-
yond it,” Hammer said.
Hammer recommends
faded blaze orange garments
be replaced.
“Blaze orange, more than
any other color, is the most
easily seen and recognized
bright, unnatural color
against a natural back-
ground,” Hammer said. “This
shade of orange is the only
satisfactory color for hunters
to wear under all weather and
light conditions. The color of
the cap, vest, or coat should
be plainly visible from all
sides while it is being worn.”
From the standpoint of
hunter safety, the wearing of
this high-visibility color
while deer hunting and while
small game hunting in heavy
cover, such as for grouse and
pheasant, is a great communi-
cations tool.
“Blaze orange clothing is a
tremendous aid in helping
hunters maintain visual con-
tact with one another, particu-
larly when moving through
dense cover or woods,” Ham-
mer said. “Any hunter who
has ever identified someone
strictly by seeing blaze or-
ange knows its value in keep-
ing track of other hunters in
the field.”
For those that use ground
blinds, Hammer said to re-
member to place some blaze
orange on the outside of the
blind for others to see. Tent
style blinds can fully conceal
even the best dressed hunter.
Some safety tips for non-
hunters:
Wear bright clothing.
Choose colors that stand out,
like red, orange or green, and
avoid white, blacks, browns,
earth-toned greens and ani-
mal-colored clothing. Blaze
orange vests and hats are ad-
visable.
Don’t forget to protect pets.
Get an orange vest for an ac-
companying dog.
Make noise. Whistle, sing
or carry on a conversation
when walking to alert hunters
that someone is in the area.
Sound carries well across
woods and forests, and
hunters should listen for any
sounds of animal movement.
Be courteous. Don’t make
unnecessary noise to disturb
wildlife. Avoid confronta-
tions.
Make presence known. If a
nonhunter hears shooting, the
person should raise their
voice and let hunters know
they’re in vicinity.
Know the dates of hunting
seasons. Learn about where
and when hunting is taking
place.
If hunting makes a non-
hunter uneasy, the nonhunter
should choose a hike in a lo-
cation where hunting is not
allowed.
Blaze orange safety requirements
reduce hunting accidents, DNR says
For the first time since sur-
plus permits were offered in
2007, no leftover either-sex
deer permits are available for
purchase after the lottery
deadline, the Minnesota De-
partment of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) said.
The DNR offered 38,850
either-sex permits in 58 deer
permit areas this year. Every
permit area received applica-
tions for at least 100 percent
of the permits available.
In lottery deer areas,
firearm and muzzleloader li-
cense holders who intend to
take an antlerless deer must
have an either-sex permit;
otherwise, they are restricted
to hunting bucks. The total
bag limit for deer in lottery
areas is one deer per year.
Availability of leftover per-
mits has declined since the
development of the hunter
choice management designa-
tion, which was first used in
2011. Similar to lottery areas,
hunter choice-designated
areas have a bag limit of one
deer; however, no limit is
placed on the number of
available either-sex permits
and lottery applications are
not required.
No surplus either-sex deer
permits available for 2013
The results of recent fall
test netting on Leech Lake
conducted by the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) show the
walleye population remains
strong and anglers who visit
Leech Lake should continue
to expect quality fishing.
Lake-wide, walleye counts
in DNR test nets averaged 8.9
walleye per net lift, which
was similar to results from
the past 5 years and was
above the long-term average
of 7.7 walleye per net lift.
“September gill nets
showed above-average num-
bers of all sizes of walleye,”
said Doug Schultz, DNR area
fisheries supervisor in Walk-
er. “Fishing reports have been
excellent all season, and this
survey confirms that good
walleye fishing is expected to
continue through the winter
and into next year.”
Schultz added that the
strong 2010 year class
reached harvestable sizes this
summer, which “had a lot to
do with angling success.” Ad-
ditionally, 36 percent of wall-
eye sampled were within the
current slot limit and have
provided anglers the opportu-
nity to catch larger fish.
The DNR is considering re-
laxing the current 18- to 26-
inch protected slot limit on
Leech Lake to a 20- to 26-
inch protected slot limit. If
the proposal is carried for-
ward, the relaxed slot limit
would be effective for the
2014 fishing opener.
“The proposed change in
the slot limit would allow an-
glers the opportunity to add
18 and 19-inch walleye to
their bag,” said Schultz.
“These fish comprise about
one-third of walleye currently
protected with the existing
18- to 26-inch slot limit.”
Schultz noted this regula-
tion review and potential re-
laxation of the slot limit was
programmed into the current
management plan. The man-
agement plan detailed that if
walleye population objectives
were met or exceeded and all
metrics indicated the walleye
population could sustain in-
creased harvest opportunity,
the DNR would consider re-
laxing the slot limit. Results
of this year’s survey indicate
the timing of this review is
appropriate.
Other game fish species
targeted with test nets include
yellow perch and northern
pike. Yellow perch abundance
declined for the sixth consec-
utive year, while northern
pike abundance continues to
remain stable. The primary
species of nongame fish as-
sessed with the test nets is
cisco. Fall test netting indi-
cated cisco continue to be
present at moderate levels of
abundance.
Strong walleye population continues in Leech Lake

U of M Extension
Trees and other perennial
plants are visibly stressed this
fall primarily due to drought
conditions from the past two
or more years. Tree stress
symptoms include abundant
seed production, leaf scorch,
early fall colors, leaf drop,
limb die back and yellowing
or browning of leaves/nee-
dles. Trees and shrubs, espe-
cially conifer trees and trees
and shrubs planted in the last
three years should be watered
generously until the soil
freezes. Mulching newly
planted trees will help reduce
winter root damage.
Young maples and thinned
barked trees may benefit
from some kind of sunscald
protection to prevent the bark
from cracking this winter and
spring. This protection is
usually in the form of a plas-
tic tube or tree wrap (remove
in spring). These practices
can also help in reducing
winter animal damage. Other
fall management practices
which will help reduce winter
damage to trees and shrubs
can be found at
http://z.umn.edu/winterdam-
age
Protecting trees from rab-
bits, mice, voles and deer is a
major concern in some land-
scapes during the winter.
Mow or remove tall grass to
reduce mice and vole dam-
age. If the bark is removed
or severely damaged around
the tree, it will die. Protec-
tive physical barriers such as
tree tubes, hardware cloth or
fencing can be done when
practical.
Odor, taste and visual re-
pellents can be used to repel
many wildlife species, but
may have inconsistent effec-
tiveness. Human hair, soaps,
garlic oil, hot sauce and ani-
mal repellents can be applied
to branches and foliage to
discourage browsing. Weath-
er, application frequency, ani-
mal population and feeding
pressure affect the success of
repellents. Some animals be-
come desensitized to the re-
pellent, so you may want to
alternate repellents. A web
resource that reviews preven-
tion and control of wildlife
damage can be found at
http://z.umn.edu/critters
If you’re unsure what is
causing problems in your
landscape, Extension has a
great website to help home-
owners diagnose tree, shrub
and plant problems or identi-
fying a weed or insect. This
site also has links to the UM
Plant Disease Clinic and Soil
Testing Lab.
http://z.umn.edu/diagnose
Fall is also a good time to
plant trees (water till the soil
freezes). Recommended trees
for all regions of Minnesota
can be found at
http://z.umn.edu/rectrees The
best time to prune trees is
during the dormant season
from January to March.
Flowering shrubs can be
pruned in the summer after
flowering.
