City Council to seek bids for electrical project
By Kurt Menk Editor The Arlington City Council, during its most recent regular meeting, unanimously approved a motion to approve the advertisement of bids for the 2014 Electrical Improvement Project. City Council members James Jaszewski, Jennifer Nuesse, Curt Reetz, Jason Ruehling and Galen Wills all voted in favor of the motion. Bid item number one will include a new approximately 5,260-foot feeder line from the new electrical substation to the downtown switch building. This is the core of the project. Bid item number two will include a new approximately 1,000-foot tie line between the new substation east feeder and the old south feeder. This item is important to bypass the old substation. It is not critical, but does weaken the reliability in the future if it is not completed. Bid item number three will include a new approximately 680-foot Prairie Line Trail underground conversion of the existing overhead line. It is being required by Sibley County for improvement and minimal reliability. Bid item number four will include electrical line and substation materials. The project was originally slated for 2013, but was pushed back to 2014, according to City Administrator Liza Donabauer. The bids will be opened on Thursday, Feb. 13 and be considered by the City Council at a future meeting.
Other Business
The City Council, in other business, reviewed the 2013 building permit report as presented. In 2013, there were 120 building permits which had a
total valuation of $859,391. The list included one new construction, 17 addition and remodeling permits, 43 roof, siding and window permits, seven garage and accessory permits, 21 plumbing and mechanical permits, 12 miscellaneous permits and 19 land use permits.
County Commissioners consider new ways of doing things in 2014
By Dave Pedersen Correspondent Sibley County is looking into some possible changes in the way of doing things, mainly involving who will do it. The deliberation took place at the year’s first meeting of the Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, Jan. 7. One area involved filling the vacant part-time position of deputy emergency management director. Another concerned a possible cooperative opportunity between the Sibley and Nicollet County Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD). The commissioners also wondered what can be done to speed up employee background checks. By law the county must have two people filling roles in emergency management. Sibley County has a part-time director and part-time deputy director, both trained in the field. Since the deputy position is open, County Administrator Matt Jaunich asked if the County Commissioners would consider some alternatives. There was talk about the possibility to partner with other entities. Research found that if Sibley County forms a Joint Powers Board with another county it would need state approval in advance. A resolution would be needed by both counties stating the intention. They must develop bylaws and any other documents that must be approved by the state. The counties would have to perform an actual exercise to show they can handle an emergency in either county. “I was surprised how difficult the process is to join with another county,” said Jaunich. “The state said there are no other counties that have done that. Some counties have a full-time emergency manager and designate someone from another department to be the deputy.” Jaunich said a grant funded position in Region 9 is designed to help counties in District 1 and Sibley County does not qualify. “Another option is to move Emergency Management Director Bryan Gorman to fulltime and then designate someone to the deputy position,” adds Jaunich. “We can talk to other counties asking how they make this work.” County Commissioner Jim Swanson wondered if it would be possible to have two or three alternates from different departments who were trained to fill in if needed. County Commissioner Bill Pinske said he understood the deputy position is not because there is more work, but if someone is on vacation or out of town. “If we go full-time with it I would like to figure out if there can be some additional duties,” said Pinske. “McLeod went to a full time position, but it has a lot more people.” Jaunich is concerned that he will continue to have difficulty keeping a part-time deputy and does not want to look for a new one every five or six months. “A full-time position would provide some stability,” said Jaunich. “My understanding is we have enough work for 40 hours between the two positions. Maybe our director can explain more about it.” The board agreed to pursue available options. Joint Powers Board. “It is worth looking at any consolidation we can do to save both entities money if we can,” said Swanson. “Nicollet County is looking to at least temporarily work with another county to get things done until they decide what they want to do with its open manager position. It is in our best interest to look at it.” Jaunich said there is no space at the current Gaylord office to merge and house everybody. “We should look into it, but if it involves going to the Nicollet County pay schedule that will be an issue,” said Pinske. Sibley County is set up where the SWCD board gets funds for doing business, including hiring employees as independent contractors. Jaunich will communicate the interest of the board to look at options. In another staff related matter, Jaunich said he has been asked why it takes so long to conduct employee background checks. The delay can hinder the hiring process. “There are four options out there for us now split into two different areas,” said Jaunich. “One is a public background check and the other is a full criminal history check that includes both public and private data. Now we do the full criminal history check which does not allow an opportunity for an on line search.” The only way to do it is through the mail or to do an impersonal background check that takes two to three weeks. Jaunich said more counties are going through a private third party hired to do background checks. County Auditor Lisa Pfarr said if the staff person would be handling funds it is one of the keys that trigger a full background check. Swanson asked if the coun-

Other Area
The other area involving a possible joint effort is combining the Sibley and Nicollet Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Nicollet County asked Jaunich if Sibley County would consider working together, having one person directing the two offices. Jaunich said there would still be a lot of details that have to be ironed out. He learned that the two counties could not essentially eliminate one of the offices, but they can join together with a

Sibley County Board of Commissioners regroup for the new year
By Dave Pedersen Correspondent The Sibley County Board of Commissioners organized for the new year during its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 7. County Commissioner Joy Cohrs was elected board chair person and County Commissioner Jim Nytes was elected vice chairperson. The Henderson Independent was designated as the official county newspaper for 2014 for the publication of legal notices, publications and delinquent tax lists. The Arlington Enterprise won the bid for designation of the first newspaper for publication of the 2013 financial statement. The Gaylord Hub was designated as the second publication of the statement. A goal setting workshop was set for 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11 where elected officials will talk about where they want to go as a county. Committee and board appointments for 2014 were set. Committees that will no longer be in existence are the Agriculture Development Board, Hazardous Material Advisory, Minnesota River Board, Personnel/Policy Compensation Administration Plan Review Committee, Radio Communications Task Force and Three Rivers Resource Conservation and Development.
Other Business
• In other business, a new agreement was approved for recycling services between the Tri-County Solid Waste Joint Powers Board and Waste Management, Inc. The counties involved in the three-year plan are LeSueur and Sibley. Al Christensen, Tri-County Director, said in the previous contract that Sibley County’s monthly fee was $1,265.23 compared to $240.51 per
month in the new proposal. The result is a savings of about $1,000 per month. Christensen said recycling contracts have become cheaper over the years. The old way of doing business was to pay large amounts per month and then get recovery rebates to offset the costs. There was a change to having flat rates. • County Commissioners approved a formal letter to a county veterans group and granted permission to display a replica of the USS Sibley in the county courthouse in Gaylord. • The board accepted an amendment to the construc-
tion agreement between the Sibley Wind Substation and Sibley County that will lower the letter of credit (LOC) from $300,000 to $25,000 while the project is limited in the winter. The LOC will be raised to $500,000 before construction activity ramps up in the spring. This would show good faith in the negotiations for road access in Cornish Township, plus replace high cost funds with much lower cost funds from a tax equity investor during down time. • In a breakdown of Sibley County attorney work, David Schauer said criminal prose-
cutions of adults went down from 61.3 cases in 2012 to 55.2 in 2013. Juvenile/human services matters went up from 24.3 in 2012 to 32.2 in 2013. • It was noted that 185 residents of Sibley County have enrolled in South Country Health Alliance as a result of the federal health care reform. • The next Sibley County board of appeal and equalization meeting was set for 6 p.m. Monday, June 16. • County offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 20 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The next board meeting is 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28.

Accident south of Gibbon
A one-vehicle accident, without injuries, reportedly occurred along County Road 2 about four miles south of Gibboon at 12:45 p.m. Monday, Jan. 6, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department. David B. Dalgleisch, 38, Gibbon, was driving a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer southbound on County Road 2 when he reportedly lost control of the vehicle around an icy curve, according to the report. The vehicle entered the ditch and rolled onto its side. There was moderate damage to the vehicle. The Gibbon Police Department also assisted at the scene.
Sibley County is in running for major road project grant funds
By Dave Pedersen Correspondent Sibley County Public Works Director Tim Becker has applied for $800,000 in grants to make major improvements on a 4 1/2-mile stretch of CSAH 6 on the east side of the county. The County Commissioners passed a resolution supporting the grant application at the meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 7. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is offering grant funding for Transportation Alternative Projects (TAP). Sibley County’s concept application advanced to the second phase. The concept application is for two projects, the first in 2017 and second in 2018. Phase 1 involves replacing two bridges and three large box culverts on CSAH 6 from CSAH 12 to CSAH 5. The total project cost would be $1.2 million. Each grant is eligible to receive up to $400,000 in funding. Each grant requires a resolution saying the county will maintain the project. Becker said that the county has secured $145,000 from the state for bridge bonding. The rest of the cost can come from the county CSAH road fund. The second grant application is for widening the remaining portions of CSAH 6 from CSAH 12 to provide an aggregate shoulder area for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The widening project is estimated to cost a total of $1,382,000. “This is the only segment of CSAH 6 that does not have a six-foot or wider shoulders on it,” said Becker. “The reason these two projects would become eligible for the TAP program is because we would be using the proposed shoulder area as a bike lane. The City of Henderson promotes pedestrian and bike traffic in that area because of the scenic byway and tourism.” County Commissioner Jim Nytes said most of the county gravel trucks use that road, plus there is a lot of grain traffic there. “This is proposed as a bike path, but it is more for safety on the road where there is no shoulder,” said Nytes. “When stuck behind a big truck or bike on the road, I have seen someone speed around them. It is a very dangerous situation with no margin for error because there is no shoulder.”
Bigaouette to lead BP board
The Belle Plaine School Board recently and unanimously selected director Matt Bigaouette as school board chairperson for 2014, according to an article in the Belle Plaine Herald. Bigaouette was first elected in 2007. This is his first year as chairperson of the school board. Bigaouette is a graduate of the Sibley East Senior High School Board in Arlington. He is the son of Francis and Wendy Bigaouette, Arlington.
Semi and train collide in City of Gaylord
By Kurt Menk Editor A semi and train accident, without injuries, reportedly occurred on Angie Drive in Gaylord at about 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14, according to information in The Gaylord Hub.

There was no hazardous material on the train or the semi, the police said. The front passenger side of the semi sustained damage while the train received minor damage, according to police. Weather may have been a factor in the collision, the police said.

Innovative biogas facility helps Arlington electric utility comply with renewable energy law
Food processing and agricultural waste converted into electrical power is now part of the electricity profile of Arlington and 11 other municipal electric utilities which are members of the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA). The Hometown BioEnergy facility, located in Le Sueur, has begun operation on schedule and is producing electricity from biogas created from agricultural and food processing waste. The 8 Megawatt facility is the largest of its kind in the country to employ an anaerobic digestion process -- a technology used extensively in Europe. “Anaerobic digestion is a natural process where waste is heated in large tanks, and the microbial action results in methane biogas,” said Kelsey Dillon, the project director of the MMPA facility. “The process is similar to what happens in a home septic system, where microbes degrade and stabilize organic matter; but in our case, we heat the material to accelerate the production of biogas on a commercial scale,” according to Dillon. “At optimal times when the power is needed, we draw off the biogas from storage and use it to fuel the electrical generators on the plant site,” she said, pointing out that this ability to time power production is a significant advantage to the technology. While the electricity from the site will be consumed in Le Sueur, it is considered by state regulators to be part of the MMPA’s total renewable energy supply. According to state law, by 2025 utilities will be required to have at least 25 percent of their power generated through renewable means (such as wind, solar, hydro or biomass). The anaerobic digestion process results in two byproducts – a liquid that will become fertilizer for area farmers and dried solid fuel that will be sold to be burned in boilers. Dillon said Hometown BioEnergy is working with area businesses and communities to identify waste that can be converted to energy, rather than ending up in a landfill or land applied. MMPA board chairman Steve Schmidt, also a City of Anoka council member, said, “Homeowners and businesses who rely on our member municipal utilities will benefit from our mix of cost-effective and local renewable energy generation sources.” MMPA’s long-time management partner, Avant Energy of Minneapolis, managed the facility’s innovative design and construction. MMPA financed the $45 million facility through a combination of federal stimulus grants and municipal bond sales. Project Director Dillon said, “This project is great for Minnesota and MMPA communities because it takes waste from Central Minnesota and converts it into electricity that is used locally and helps meet renewable energy requirements. “We also hope it serves as an inspiration for other renewable energy facilities of this type in the state and around the country,” Dillon said.

ty can do different degrees of background checks with personnel. He asked, “If some positions are not as critical why do we have to do such an extensive background check? Could we develop different levels?” Jaunich will work with the human resource director to identify who could get a less extensive background check in some cases.

Lieutenant governors have few defined duties and often make little or no impact
Our View: Let the voters decide if there should be a position of lieutenant governor
Think quick. Who is the current lieutenant governor in Minnesota? The answer to the question is Yvonne Prettner Solon. On Tuesday, Prettner Solon announced that she will not join Governor Mark Dayton on the ticket again as he seeks re-election later this year. Prettner Solon thanked the governor for the opportunity to focus on issues she cared about. However, she regretfully admitted that she had not been involved in the making of policy as much as she had originally hoped when named to the ticket less than four years ago. It should come as no surprise that most Minnesotans cannot name the individual who holds the position of lieutenant governor. The position has few defined duties and almost all lieutenant governors have made little or no impact at all during their respective stays in that office over the years. The position of lieutenant governor is vaguely defined in the Minnesota State Constitution. The role of the lieutenant governor, according to the state constitution, is to succeed the governor if that office is vacated or to stand in temporarily if he or she cannot perform the duties of the chief executive. Candidates for governor or governors who seek re-election almost always use the position of lieutenant governor for potential political gain. Pretter Solon, for example, was not originally selected for her political abilities and talents. Governor Dayton selected the former state senator and Duluth City Council member to attract more female voters and support from the Iron Range. Candidates for lieutenant governor, for most of Minnesota’s history, have run alone on their own ballots. That all changed in 1974 when lieutenant governors started to be elected on the ticket as running mates to the winning gubernatorial candidates. The current position of lieutenant governor has an annual salary of nearly $80,000. When the cost of staff are considered, however, the cost of having a lieutenant governor is closer to $250,000 per year. Since the position of lieutenant governor has a limited role and office holders make little or no impact, the State Legislature should place a constitutional amendment on a future ballot and let the voters decide whether or not to eliminate this position. -K.M.

A renewed commitment to our neighbors in need
By John Marty State Senator This month marks 50 years since President Lyndon Johnson declared a “war on poverty.” There were huge victories in that war during the following decade, but after that, the federal government reversed course, cut anti-poverty programs, and our national government effectively surrendered. A half century later, as Minnesota and the nation pull out of the recession, some families are doing better economically, and some are doing incredibly well. Yet there are working people and their families staying in homeless shelters because they cannot afford housing. Countless people with mental health or physical health challenges cannot get even basic care. As many as one in three children are growing up in families that cannot afford basic needs. Children raised in poverty are stripped of the opportunity we want for all young people - they are more likely to suffer from asthma and other health problems, their brain development and academic potential is compromised. Some overcome the odds and succeed, but many more do not. We are not proud of this. Sometimes we’d rather just ignore this ugly reality. But despite the federal government’s long-ago surrender in the war on poverty, people haven't stopped caring, and many community and religious leaders continue pushing to end poverty. About 10 years ago, some Minnesota faith leaders drafted a “Common Foundation” which stated, “We believe it is the Creator’s intent that all people are provided those things that protect human dignity and make for healthy life: adequate food and shelter, meaningful work, safe communities, healthcare, and education.... We are all called to work to overcome poverty, and this work transcends any particular political theory or party and any particular economic theory or structure.” Minnesota, through its legislature, took up the cause in 2008 with a bipartisan commission to map a route to end poverty. Recognizing it is not something we can change overnight, the commission’s charge - reflected in its name - was the “Legislative Commission to End Poverty in Minnesota by 2020.” 2014 marks the half-way point to the target date for accomplishing the goal. In 2008, one in ten Minnesotans lived in poverty. Now, it is slightly worse, and for some populations, much worse - almost half of African American children live in poverty. Fortunately, there appears to be new momentum. Last year, the state began addressing early childhood education needs. In 2014, it looks like the legislature will significantly increase the minimum wage. And the Dayton administration recently spelled out a bold plan to prevent and end homelessness in Minnesota. But even if we get a phased-in hike in the minimum wage to $9.50/hour, that’s not enough to live on. Many low income parents work at two, or even three, jobs to make ends meet. And, even if we do end homelessness, we must ensure that health care, and childcare, and food, and other necessities are affordable. The challenge is great, but 50 years after our nation declared war on poverty, there are signs of hope. Pope Francis has been outspoken about the moral obligation to end poverty, “A way has to be found to enable everyone to benefit from the fruits of the earth, and not simply to close the gap between the affluent and those who must be satisfied with the crumbs falling from the table, but above all to satisfy the demands of justice, fairness and respect for every human being.” There has been a positive, bipartisan response. Even Newt Gingrich has taken note of the problem of income inequality, calling on fellow politicians to “embrace the pope’s core critique that you do not want to live on a planet with billionaires and people who do not have any food.” Most of us recognize that poverty is morally unacceptable; many also understand ignoring the problem hurts our economy. We can use 2014, the halfway point in Minnesota's timeline, to recommit our state to building an economy that doesn't leave people behind, and doesn't rob so many children of their potential. It’s an ambitious agenda - providing living wage jobs, increasing the earned income tax credit, strengthening the childcare assistance program, delivering health care for all but the well-being of all Minnesotans matters. Paul Wellstone was right: “We all do better, when we all do better.”

Trust...but definitely verify
By Lee H. Hamilton Of all the numbers thrown at us over the course of last year, one stands out for me. I hope we can avoid repeating it this year. That number is 12. It’s the percentage of Americans in a December Quinnipiac poll who said they trust the government in Washington to do what is right most or all of the time. It’s a depressingly small number — especially compared to the 41 percent who say they “hardly ever” trust the government. This meshes with recent polls that echo a bleak truth: trust in government is at historically low levels. That’s not all, though. Americans are feeling vulnerable and highly distrustful of both government and private-sector prying. More worrisome, a few months ago an AP poll found that fewer than a third of Americans trust one another. The poll’s message is clear: our society is in the midst of a crisis in trust. This might seem like a touchyfeely concern, but it’s not. Trust is essential to our political system and

our way of life. The belief that people and institutions will do what they say they will do is the coin of the realm in our society. It is what allows people to work together — in their daily interactions with others and in their communities, legislatures and Congress. Negotiation, compromise, collegiality, and the mechanisms our complex and diverse society depends on are impossible without trust. Trust is one of the medley of virtues that have allowed our institutions to develop and prosper, along with honesty, competence, responsibility, and civility. A breakdown in trust between Congress and the executive branch invariably brings problems: the turmoil of the Vietnam War era, Watergate, Iran-Contra, our current budget travails. A society-wide lack of trust imposes real costs. It makes the drafting of laws and their implementation extremely difficult: government becomes more expensive because it requires more emphasis on regulations and enforcement.
In fact, you could argue that we see all around us the results of our trust deficit. Government dysfunction, an economy performing below its potential, public officials’ scandals and misdeeds, trusted institutions’ willingness to skirt the law and standards of good conduct, our social safety net under attack because people mistrust recipients — all of these speak to a society struggling as trust weakens. Yet here’s a question. Do the polls match your experience? In my case, they do not. Trust still figures in my dealings with institutions and individuals, most of whom are good people trying to live a decent life and to be helpful to others. They deal with one another honorably and with care. I’m convinced that this is because, no matter what the polls say at the moment, the habits instilled by parents, schools, and a vast number of public and private institutions do not just disappear.

These habits include the experience of grappling with the challenges that representative democracy throws at us — and they serve as a reminder that we need trust in one another to make our national experiment in representative government work. As idealistic or even naive as this may sound, we need to work toward more trust among our people and between people and their government. Some new laws might help, but the challenge is more basic than law can address. Higher standards of conduct at all levels of American life must become the norm. Trust may have weakened, but most of us do not see or experience a corrupt America. Even as we have become a larger, more diverse nation, a sense of community remains crucially important to make this country safe and secure for ourselves and our children. We cannot take for granted our success at self-government over the centuries: the only invisible hand guiding and preserving our institutions is our collective will. Events in recent years have given us plenty of reason to be distrustful. Clearly, healthy skepticism is warranted in the wake of the NSA revelations, the problems with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, and other evidence of both government and corporate misbehavior. In the end, however, “trust but verify” is still the golden standard. Our ability to function and move forward as a society rests on trust. Think about it.

Marian Martha Nagel, 84, Mankato
Marian Martha Nagel, age 84, of Mankato, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, Nov. 12, 2013, at Autumn Grace where she had resided for the past several Marian years. Nagel For as much as she will be missed by her family and many friends, her loss may be reconciled by her accomplishments and her many acts of kindness. She was a devoted mother and championed for many worthy causes. She will be remembered for her warm smile and her true love for literature and nature. Marian was born in Wells on Sept. 21, 1929. She grew up on a farm with her parents, Julius & Martha Prescher, and 12 other siblings. She was married to Melvin H. Nagel in 1950 and they had three children, Charles Nagel of Lafayette, Dan Nagel of Mission Viejo, Calif., and Lou Ann Nagel of Buda, Texas. She is also survived by her three grandchildren, Colton Nagel, Jacob Nagel and Natalie Nagel, all of Mission Viejo, Calif.; and her two sisters, Eleanor Possin of Hartland, and Shirley Eckert of Mapleton. A Memorial Service will be held sometime this summer. Notification of time and place is pending.
History
85 Years Ago
January 17, 1929 Louis Kill, Editor Thursday morning when Panning Brothers went to their store to open it for the day’s business, they found the front door had been jimmied and robbers had taken practically all the stock of men’s shoes, leather coats and vests, heavy mittens and silk underwear and stockings; also some silk ties and wool blankets. At this writing it is hard to tell the exact amount taken but it is estimated that the loss will total between $1,500 and $2,000. As the Panning brothers carried no insurance the loss is a hard blow to the firm. Our doctors say that the epidemic of flu is subsiding in the community. Perhaps the frigid weather of the past two weeks was a means of putting a damper on it. The ice harvest is on and the work of refilling the ice houses of the village is in full swing. Considerable ice is being taken from Silver Lake again this year. However, the bulk of it will be shipped from Waconia, as this is in excellent quality and can be used for all purposes. The Citizens Ice Co., which has about thirty patrons, has moved its ice house to the railroad yards and will pack the ice directly from the cars. opening. Carpenters are now fitting the doors and panels in the foyer and lobby, and it is hoped to have the chairs and carpeting installed in the auditorium within a week, after which the projection and sound equipment will be put in. The heating and air conditioning systems have been completed and in operation for some time, and most of the electrical work and plumbing is completed. A change of ownership in the local Red Owl Store took place this week when Galen Westensee sold the grocery stock and fixtures to Mr. F. E. Thiede of Menominee, Wis. Mr. Thiede is taking over the business today. A Florida bound vacation trip ended just twenty miles from home, 45 minutes after their departure, for the Arnold Schrupp family early Saturday morning, with Mrs. Schrupp and daughter Fayetta, ending up in Mankato’s Immanuel hospital with injuries they received in a four-car crackup on highway 169, about a mile north of Mankato. Mrs. Schrupp, 56, suffered undetermined injuries, and the daughter, 17, suffered head cuts. Both were thrown from the car driven by son Calvin. The father also was in the car, but neither he nor his son were injured. Thirteen phones were installed in Henderson over the past year, and many more have been ordered, to be installed when materials become available, according too Chief Operator Norma Wiest. ton community is observing her 100th birthday today January 16th. Mrs. Wiemann is the oldest of a family of 12 children born to Mr. and Mrs. Martin Bandelin. A rural Gaylord man, Calvin Schrupp, has been appointed Sibley County Agricultural Inspector for a period from January 1, 1969 to January 1, 1970. His salary will be $2,100 per year. A sample of residents in this area will be asked about their television sets in their households as part of a nationwide survey the week of January 20, Director Guy A. Lutz of the Bureau of the Census Regional Office in St. Paul announced. The questions are aimed at determining the proportion of households in the U.S. with television sets, and the proportion with color sets, and the proportion with sets which can receive UHF.

Blue Earth County Fair to move to Mankato
Shareholders of the Blue Earth County Fair Association voted by an overwhelming margin to move the fair from its current location in Garden City to the edge of Mankato, according to the KNUJ Radio website. The final tally was 175 votes to authorize the sale and 76 votes against it. The move is contingent on the construction of a new fairgrounds from scratch. A feasibility study will be done to determine the cost of obtaining at least 30 acres near Mankato and constructing the buildings necessary to host a fair. The study will also determine whether moving the financially struggling fair would return it to profitability. The vote came after over an hour of comments from shareholders, some for the move, some against it. The move could happen as soon as 2015. Two independent auditors were on hand to oversee the vote to verify its legitimacy.

Senior citizens urged to protect their money and prevent wire transfer fraud
Older Americans are scammed out of an estimated $2.5 billion dollars a year and an increasingly prevalent tool used by fraudsters is wire transfer fraud. Seniors are frequently tricked into wiring money, believing they are paying for the release of a grandchild from jail or to secure the payment of jackpot winnings in foreign countries. The Commerce Department reminds Minnesotans to take advantage of the strengthened consumer protections intended to fight this type that were passed by the legislature and signed into law by Governor Mark Dayton in 2013. “The new money transfer consumer protections will stop fraudsters who have too long targeted seniors through wire transfer fraud,” said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. “Being defrauded out of tens of thousands of dollars late in life can be devastating – and it happens to thousands of seniors every year. Seniors and their loved ones need to protect themselves from fraud and spot the signs of elder financial abuse through wire transfer fraud.” Under the new law, when consumers send money transfers, they may request the money transmitter to notify them if a person attempts to collect their money transfer at a location other than the one they have designated. Consumers may also request that the money transmitter provide them with verification that their money transfer was collected at the location they designated and the name of the person collecting their money transfer. The new law prohibits money transmitters from allowing a person to collect a money transfer at a location other than the location a consumer has designated unless the money transmitter has obtained consumer’s authorization to do so. Also included in the new law are expanded tools for the Commerce Department to regulate the industry and increased penalties for bad actors. If seniors choose to use a money transmitter to send money, they are reminded to utilize the destination provision to ensure their money is going to the right place. With this new law, the money transmitter must promptly notify the sender if a person has attempted to receive the transfer in a different location than specified by the sender. Signs of elder financial abuse and exploitation If you are concerned that a senior might be a victim of fraud and financial abuse, be on the lookout for unusual behaving including: • Unusual banking transactions that are inconsistent with past behavior, • Uncharacteristic attempts to wire large sums of money or closing accounts without regard to penalties, and • Changes in spending habits, such as giving large, unexpected gifts, suddenly missing routine bill payments, or developing secrecy around money. Other signs of financial fraud might be: • Confusion over recent financial transactions that included property transfers, refinanced mortgages, or legal documents, such as wills, have unexplained changes, • A lack of basic amenities or belongings have gone missing, • A new friend has taken an unusual interest in a senior and has assumed power of attorney or gained access to financial accounts, and • A caregiver is unable to adequately provide for the senior’s basic needs and is secretive about the senior’s finances. Statistics show that up to 80 percent of elder financial abuse goes unreported. Victims often face barriers in reporting due to embarrassment, fear of their abuser, and fear of losing their freedom. How can you protect yourself and your family members? End the Call – There is no such thing as being rude when protecting yourself and your investments from scammers. Trust your instincts. If you do not remember buying a lottery ticket or entering a sweepstakes, the call is most likely a scam. If you receive a call from a family member in danger, hang up and call loved ones to verify. Phone a Friend - When Commissioner Rothman’s grandmother is called by a solicitor over the phone, the first thing she does is call Commissioner Rothman. You should identify a trusted friend or family member you can call for questions and advice. Report the Fraud – The Minnesota Department of Commerce is here to help. Report the fraud so others don’t fall victim to the same scam. The Minnesota Department of Commerce Consumer Help Line can be reached by phone at (651) 539-1600 or (800) 657-3602. Complaints can also be sent by email to consumer.protection@state.mn.u s <mailto:consumer.protection@state.mn.us> or by mail to Minnesota Department of Commerce, 85 7th Place East, Suite 500, Saint Paul, MN 55101.
