coordinator position
Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley County Board,
during its regular meeting on
Tuesday morning, May 26,
authorized the funding for the
watershed coordinator position.
This position is supposed
to be a grant funded position,
but the current grant will expire in August of 2015 and a
new grant to cover the position will not begin until
March of 2016. The Board
approved funding the position during the interim by a
4-1 vote. Commissioner
Bobbie Harder voted against
funding the position. The
cost to fund the position between grants will be $20,782
plus taxes and benefits

Arbor Day & Sibley Serve
The City of Arlington and the Sibley East Public
School in Arlington partnered and held an Arbor Day
celebration and city clean up day called Sibley Serve
on Friday, May 22. (Left Photo) Arlington Mayor Rich
Nagel read the Arbor Day Proclamation during a brief
ceremony at Frenzel Park. City Forester Stephen
Nicholson collaborated with Christine Butler’s Sibley
East Senior High School biology students on tree
identification and evaluation. The students learned
from the city forester the proper method for tree planting and tips on caring for young trees. (Top Photo)
This group of students helped to plant trees as a part
of Sibley Serve at Frenzel Park. Left to right: Devon
Schultz, Leah Serbus, Sadie Lane, Ricardo Martinez.
One Day plus One School equals Positive Impact. That
was the motto for Sibley Serve. This endeavor
brought students and staff together as one school to
serve the schools and communities, according to Sibley East Senior High Principal Tim Schellhammer.
Over 175 sophomores and juniors and staff were
available to complete service projects throughout the
school district on Friday, May 22.
Groundbreaking ceremony held for new school
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Despite chilly temperatures and light rain, a
groundbreaking ceremony
was held for the new Sibley
East Elementary School in
Gaylord on Tuesday afternoon, May 26.
Approximately 700 elementary students and teachers from the Arlington and
Gaylord campuses gathered
for the event.
“The future is bright at
Sibley East,” said Sibley
East Elementary Principal
Mari Lu Martens. She
added that the new school
“marks a new chapter in the
history of Sibley East.”
Superintendent Jim Amsden encouraged the children
to thank their parents and
community members for investing in their future.
The students and teachers
spelled out SE near the new
elementary building site. A
picture was taken by a Life
Touch photographer from a
boom truck. That photo will
be published in next week’s
edition of the Arlington Enterprise.
After the picture, a
groundbreaking ceremony
was held with Sibley East
and Gaylord dignitaries and
a dozen students.
The new Sibley East Elementary School in Gaylord
will house students in
grades PreK through the
fifth grade. It will be located
east of the stormwater pond.
The hope is to have the new
school ready for the 20172018 school year.
Tax
Assessments
The Board approved the
Memorandum of Understanding for professional services
agreement for tax assessments with the districts.
Each district enters into a
memorandum of understanding with Sibley County
through the Sibley County
Assessor’s office. The costs
to the districts for the 2016
assessment was increased
five percent over the previous
year. The cost to the City of
Arlington will be $10,800
and the cost to the City of
Green Isle will be $4,400.
The districts have already
signed the memorandums.
MnDOT
10-year plan
Ronda Allis, Principal
Planner at MnDOT, reviewed
the 10-year district work proposal. Sibley County is in
MnDOT District 7 which
covers Blue Earth, Brown,
Cottonwood, Faribault, Jackson, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Nobles, Rock, Sibley,
Waseca and Watonwan counties. The 10-year proposal
covers the years 2016-2025.
Allis stated that the projects for 2016-2019 have already been decided, but
MnDOT wanted to share proposed projects for the years
2020-2025 with the Board.
Proposed projects for 2020
include bridge work in
Winthrop, work on Highway
22 south of Gaylord and
Highway 93 east of Henderson. Work on 22 and 93 may
shift to 2021 because of funding availability and input
from local government.
Allis also asked County
Commissioners to begin
thinking about potential projects in the area. Some of the
things the county should
begin considering are utilities, lighting, streetscape
ideas, local plans and safety
concerns. The 10-year work
proposal is updated annually
and reflects priorities identified by the Minnesota State
Highway Investment Plan
(MnSHIP).
Public Works
Updates
The Board accepted the
quote from J & R Larsen
Ground Maintenance out of
Lakeville for the grass seeding at Rush River Park. This
project will cost $20,625 and
is funded by FEMA.
The Board authorized Public Works Director Tim Becker to sign a purchase agreement with Cretex Concrete
Products from Maple Grove
for an eight foot by eight foot
box culvert and end sections
for replacement of a timber
box located approximately
1,000 feet north of the
Jessenland Church on CSAH
6. The Board also authorized
Becker to obtain quotes for
the culvert repair. Becker
will bring the quotes back to
the next Board meeting.
Becker would like to proceed
with the project as soon as
possible because he said that
the pavement has fallen at the
shoulder of the road and it
has been reduced to a single
lane.
In another item, the Board
accepted a quote of $35,305
from Barnett Brothers Incorporated from Kilkenny for
culvert repairs on CR 164
and CSAH 16. The 2014
flood event caused many of
the existing joints to separate
and the roads are settling into
the nearly 50 year old culverts. Becker stated that part
of the culvert of CR 164 is
completely collapsed. This
project is funded 75 percent
by FEMA and 25 percent by
the State.
In addition, the Board authorized the county engineer
and county attorney to execute a drainage and utility
easement with Jerome Nussbaumer and Audrey Jean
Mary Dickie for $250. The
drainage easements are needed on CSAH 8 approximately
500 feet west of CSAH 18 in
order to replace a drainage
culvert which was also damaged in the June 2014 flooding.
Brau Motors to celebrate renovation project with open house
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Brau Motors, located along
Highway 5 in downtown Arlington, will hold an open
house to celebrate its recently
completed renovation project.
The open house will be held
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 30. Cookies and
coffee will be served, according to Bruce and Rob Brau.
Interior renovations were
made to the complete sales
area, customer service area
and parts department. The
service reception area is brand
new. In addition, the entire
lighting system is new as well
as the ceiling and floor.
Exterior renovations include a new canopy and the
new blue tower. New garage
doors have also been installed. In addition, the entire
building has been re-stuccoed
and repainted.
Overall, the entire renovation project took 1 1/2 years.
The renovation project
began during the spring of
2013 and was completed in
mid December of 2014.
“It was a real mess for a
long time,” said Bruce. “We
sold a lot of vehicles sitting
around a dust covered desk.
Our customers have been just
remarkable.”
Rob said the renovation
project has been a lot of work,
“but we have received numerous compliments and have
gotten so many encouraging
words from local people during the process that we feel
we need to celebrate.”
Rob added, “While we are
proud to have been in business for 69 years, our building
needed to be updated and was
showing its age. When General Motors made it known that
they wanted to uniform the
look of its dealerships, we
made the decision to invest in
our businesses and, therefore,
in this town because we believe in both.”
Their father, Norb, passed
away before he could see the
finished project, “but he
agreed with the renovation
and was very much for doing
it,” said Bruce and Rob.

G.I. Lions Club ready to donate
Thies receives scholarship
Sibley East senior Sam Thies has been awarded a
$1,500 scholarship from America’s Farmers Grow Ag
Leaders, a new program sponsored by the Monsanto
Fund.
Thies, rural Arlington, will attend South Dakota State
University in the fall to study agronomy and crop science with plans to become an agronomist.
“Sam has been a leader within FFA for the last three
years and defines leading by example,” said Jeff Eppen,
the high school FFA advisor. “He has a really good understanding of agricultural production and why it is important. He can look at it from all different perspectives,
not just as a kid who grew up on a farm, but also on a
consumer level and from a business perspective.”
The future of agriculture relies on talented young people like Thies to fill thousands of jobs in a variety of
fields, such as plant science, engineering, communications, finance and more. Grow Ag Leaders encourages
rural youth to remain in agriculture and provides scholarships to support their education.

The Arlington Municipal
Hospital and the Arlington, Gaylord and Winthrop clinics are
moving closer toward the integration of both organizations.
Under the proposed terms of the
agreement, the hospital will purchase the assets of the clinics
and will own and operate the
clinics at its current three sites.
Under the proposed agreement,
the clinics will become a private, non-profit corporation, but
will contract for management
services from the hospital. The
new corporation will be named
the Sibley Medical Clinic with
sites in Arlington, Gaylord and
Winthrop.

Trailblazer lauded by MnDOT for its service in Wright County
By Lori Copler
Editor
Trailblazer Transit received
high praise from Tom Gottfried, program director for
the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) Office of Transit at the joint
powers board’s Thursday
morning meeting.
Gottfried lauded Trailblazer for its success in incorporating most of Wright County’s communities into its
service area.
Gottfried said Trailblazer
began work on taking in
Wright County into its serv-
ice area well over a year ago
after River Rider, which
served Wright and Sherburne
counties, was slated to dissolve in July 2014.
“I’m exceedingly pleased
with the process and professionalism,” said Gottfried.
“Despite the slings and arrows, you managed to manage this in a very, very professional and effective manner. Trailblazer is one of my
stellar transit systems, and I
don’t say that lightly.”
Gary Ludwig, Trailblazer’s
executive director, said he
also is pleased, although

Trailblazer’s expansion into
Wright County has not always been easy.
“The numbers look very
good,” said Ludwig, who
added that Trailblazer added
20,000 rides in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to
2014.
“We continue to provide at
least as much service as River
Rider, and we’re looking at
expanding that service,” Ludwig stated.
Ludwig also reported that
funding has finally been secured for the new Trailblazer
facility to be constructed in
Buffalo, with the help of the
city of Buffalo. Buffalo will
build the facility, and Trailblazer will rent it from Buffalo with the option to buy it
for $1 after the bond is paid
off. Trailblazer’s rent will
provide revenue to Buffalo to
make the bond payments.
The total cost is estimated
at $3.4 million, with the interest at 2.87 percent.
A groundbreaking for the
Buffalo facility was set for
July 1 at 9 a.m.

SEDCO nets grant for business retention
The Sibley County Economic Development Commission (SEDCO) has been

With 40 jobs to fill, Trailblazer
approves $2 per hour wage hike
joint powers board approved
another $2 an hour increase
for all employees, effective
July 1.
Tonia Parsons, operations
manager for Trailblazer, said
she has interviewed 189 people in the past 18 months, and
made 33 job offers. Of those,
21 accepted jobs with Trailblazer. The others declined.
The primary reason people
declined jobs, Parsons said,
“was due to wages or hours.”
Ludwig said that while the
addition of communities in
Wright County to Trailblazer’s service area has been financially beneficial, employees in Wright County tend to
be paid more because of their
proximity to the Twin Cities.
“It’s an entirely different
planet up there (Wright
County),” said Ludwig.
“There is a more robust economy, and it’s difficult to attract employees.”
McLeod County Commissioner Doug Krueger, himself
an over-the-road trucker,
agreed that wages being offered to commercial drivers
have risen dramatically with
the improved economy.
Krueger asked if experienced drivers were able to
start higher on the wage
schedule.
Ludwig said that while that
had been the case at one time,
it was later decided by earlier
members of the joint powers
board to have all new employees start at the beginning
of the salary scale, regardless
of experience.
“I know that if I was coming in with 20 years of experience, I’d have a hard time
starting at the beginning of
the
wage
scale,” said
Krueger.
On the other hand, Ludwig
acknowledged, current employees have a hard time accepting new employees starting at higher wages when
they haven’t yet been trained
into the system.
“They wonder why someone else is making more
when they’re doing the same
job,” Ludwig said.
The joint powers board
agreed to Ludwig’s suggested
increase of $2 per hour, effective July 1, and asked him to
look into the feasibility of offering higher wages to experienced drivers, particularly
those with transit experience.

Trailblazer Transit needs
32 drivers and eight administrative and support staff employees, its joint powers
board heard Thursday morning.
“I’m challenged to fill 40
open positions,” said Executive Director Gary Ludwig.
The upshot, said Ludwig, is
that there is a huge demand
for drivers right now in all aspects of the economy.
“The economy is doing
very well at the moment, and
transportation is one of the
leading factors in that recovery,” said Ludwig. “We’re
losing drivers.”
In fact, said Ludwig, drivers are leaving Trailblazer
and moving to other communities, knowing they can land
a job. Even Ben Armstrong,
the fleet manager, left after
61⁄2 years to move to Chicago
to be closer to family, on the
assumption he would be able
to find another, comparable
job in that area.
Trailblazer increased its
wages a few months ago to
try to keep up with the demand, and on Thursday, its
front of the administrative
office.
Graduation information
is included in the annual
graduation supplement
which is inserted into this
week’s edition of the Arlington Enterprise.

Opinions
The nature of editorials
in the local newspaper
Our View: Opinion pieces open a
dialogue on timely and important issues
A weekly editorial has been a feature in the Arlington Enterprise newspaper for almost six years now. These opinion
pieces, which had been the heart and soul of weekly newspapers 40 to 50 years ago, are a rarity in hometown newspapers
across the state today. The Arlington Enterprise, in fact, is the
only newspaper in Sibley County to publish an editorial on
its opinion page each and every week.
The purpose of an editorial is to open dialogue and facilitate discussion on timely and important issues primarily in
the Arlington and Green Isle communities and Sibley County.
When writing an editorial for publication in the local newspaper, the editor or manager identifies a timely and important
issue, examines the different sides of the issue, takes a stand
on the issue which is supported with facts, and tries hard to
offer a solution or future course of action.
Some topics are much easier to write about than others. In
addition, it is sometimes difficult to write an editorial on a
sensitive topic in a small community were everybody seems
to know everybody. Although some individuals or groups
may take an editorial in a personal way, this newspaper will
never personally attack any individual or group, but simply
toss the opinion out into the public eye.
Some people may believe that a publication which takes a
stand on these types of issues is a negative newspaper. That is
hardly the case at all. Again, the purpose of editorials is to
open that dialogue and facilitate discussion and get people,
especially elected officials, to think before they officially act
on important issues.
Finally, the editor and manager of this newspaper are hardly the final voices of authority on every topic and readers wil
surely not agree with each weekly editorial. When that happens, this newspaper hopes readers will exercise their right
and write a letter to the editor.

Letters To The Editor
Time to get excited about SE building projects
To The Editor,
I was happy to see the Minnesota
Supreme Court backed the voters of
ISD 2310 and validated the election
results from last November. Upon
reading Mr. Kranz’s response to the
ruling that we should disrespect the
court system, it struck me as odd
considering this is the same court
system that allowed him to contest
an approved election. Once Judge
Eide validated the election results,
this court system allowed him to
bring it to the Minnesota Court of
Appeals to be heard. Then, even
though it took them all of one day to
dismiss the appeal, he was allowed
to proceed to the Minnesota
Supreme Court. I don’t know
Nathan Kranz, he might be a very
nice person, but it is he that is disrespectful to the 1,634 majority voters
that approved this referendum, because for once the referendum vote
didn’t go his/their way.
There have been many letters to
the editor over the past seven
months giving every reason why a
majority vote shouldn’t be allowed.
It now appears it has moved on from
the election to the attorney fees.
The letter in last week’s Enterprise
made me laugh as the writer finds it
mind boggling that the school district would go after legal fees. I
found it mind boggling that this
would get pushed all the way to the
Minnesota Supreme Court but it was
in Mr. Kranz’s rights to do so. The
same goes for the school district.
They had every right to sue for legal
fees and then appeal if they so desired, that is the country in which
we live. Why does one party have
the right to appeal, appeal, appeal
and the other party it makes no
sense when they appeal? I would
say at this point it’s time for all par-
ties to move on and get excited
about the groundbreaking.
Finally, I would like to name
those who are liable, accountable
and responsible for the new school.
Thank you to Superintendent James
Amsden, Board Members Brian
Brandt, Anne Karl, Scott Dose, Beth
Dufrane, Michelle Weber and Dan
Woehler for all your hard work and
time you spent getting the votes to
approve our school. I’ll also throw
in Laura Reid and Sara Ziegler for
your commitment to the school
going forward and most important to
all the teachers and administration
of Sibley East. We trust our children
to you everyday and now we can
also trust that we are sending them
to, and providing you, with a safe
building for many years to come.
I’m very proud of ISD 2310.

Focus on restoring trust and uniting both sides
To The Editor,
It is said that news is the first draft
of history. Locally the newspaper of
record is the Arlington Enterprise.
They cover local news, and feature
History 100 years ago, 75 years ago,
45 years ago, and 15 years ago.
The Headline read, Supreme
Court denies Kranz Petition for Review. And the story read The Sibley
School District is relieved and looking to move forward. The bonds can
finally be issued. The construction
start date and projection of an opening date will be offered as we move
forward. It will be a busy year at
Sibley East. Nathan Kranz was disappointed but remains resolved.
That is the first draft, but the central question is after a contentious
referendum that barely passed have
the actions of the School Board
made it nearly impossible to bring
both sides together. There are those
who think the new school is long
overdue, an investment in the communities, and will be a growth factor. The other side thinks we cannot
afford this, it places an unfair burden on the farmers and land owners,
and the population actually is not
growing. Those were the issues and
it broke 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent.
But then the news that the School
District had bungled the publication
statutes before the election an additional issue came forward. They
hoped no one would notice. Nathan
Kranz did notice and brought this to
light. If they cannot meet a 40-day
window and publish the complete
unedited Commissioner’s Summary,
then what can you expect they can
do? What else do they need to do,
or are not doing on time?
Is there a statute covering the issuing of bonds, solicitation of bids,
or final certification of the levies? Is
there any need for the district to
publish notice on the intended projects, the amount of the bond issue,
and the total indebtedness of the district? How many days published notice do they need to give on this before they move forward?
If there is a Statute covering this,
and it is not observed, what are the
consequences? Maybe there is no
prescribed penalty, but a second
round of violations would be a pattern.
Then there is another question, is
the School Board required by statute
to publish their meeting notes?
How soon after the meeting are the
notes required to be published?
And then there was the overreach.
The Board and Superintendent
unanimously sued Kranz for their
legal fees. This raises the question,
what won’t they do? They have been
unabashed in attempting to intimidate Kranz. The 48.5 percent is
outraged and galvanized, and certainly some of the original 51.5 percent have had questions and second
thoughts raised on how this all was
handled. If they were taken aback
by violation of statutes, the intimidation of Kranz, or a lack of leadership, you are looking at more than
50 percent who have serious questions or are opposed to how the
School Board and the Superintendent are operating the Sibley East
School District.
Moving forward is more than
about a new school rather the focus
must be focused on restoring trust
and uniting these two factions. That
would seem to be an impossible hurdle.

Green Isle school impacts children
To The Editor,
As the school year comes
to a close I would like to take
a moment to thank the teachers at the Green Isle Community School (GICS) and share
with the public the impact the
school has had in my children.
As the director of the
school I understand that I
may be biased; however, my
husband and I initially chose
this school for our children
long before I was in this role.
We first came to GICS
when our eldest child was in
first grade. Although he liked
kindergarten and first grade
he did not like school so
much and didn’t want to do
his homework because he
didn’t enjoy the worksheets.
It was within a couple weeks
of that year we toured GICS
and decided the drive was
worth it.
We now have four kids at
GICS, one child in each
classroom. They are each
very different but all love
school. Our youngest is in
kindergarten and has excelled
in reading far beyond his
level yet Mrs. Kroehler has
continued to challenge him.
He also enjoys playtime and
crafting. Play centers are his
favorite part of the day. When
he grows up he wants to be a
police officer. Our first grader
is ahead in both Math and
Reading and his teacher, Mrs.
Djerf, has worked hard to
help us balance social and academic challenges. He loves
school so much he cries when
he is sick because he hates to
miss school. When he grows
up he wants to be a banker
and wants to serve in the military. Our daughter is in
fourth grade and has always
been interested in school. She
is our creative one who loves
to write stories, poems and
plays. She is a book worm
and never thought she was
good at math. She has since
proved herself wrong and has
excelled in math. Mrs. Barrett
has helped give her confidence and pushed her to be
better. She aspires to be a
children’s author or art
teacher. This week our oldest
will be graduating from sixth
grade at GICS. So much has
changed for him. He doesn’t
just like school, he loves
school, he loves to read, he is
finishing up Algebra I, he has
gone to Legionville Safety
Patrol camp, he has gone to
the regional science fair, he
has learned he likes to act in
the Elders’ Celebration plays
and enjoys trap shooting on
the Sibley East Trap Team.
When he grows up he wants
to be an engineer. I’d like to
thank his teachers for the
amazing job they have done
helping him to not just learn
but love learning. Mrs. Julie
Grams and Ms. Kristen
Strauss spent years with this
boy. Thank you ladies for caring for and teaching my son.
To the staff at GICS both
past and present thank you so
much for all of your hard
work and dedication to helping students find their passions. I have seen first hand
how hard you all work, how
many hours you put in at
school and how many more
hours you put in at home.
You have all made GICS
more than just a school, it's
family. My children not only
have friends, they have great
memories with their siblings
through homeroom and field
trip. They have all learned so
much both academic and otherwise. I’m confident they
have and will continue to receive a well-rounded education. Ifeel incredibly blessed
to have this school for my
children. Thank you teachers
for making it all happen.

Concerned citizens want changes
To The Editor,
In the May 21 edition of
the Arlington Enterprise, Editor Kurt Menk stated over 20
residents voiced concerns
over street and utility improvement and why shouldn’t
he because it fell on the deaf
ears of our mayor and city
council.
Council member Jennifer
Nuesse stated that there were
public hearings in 2014 and
people should have voiced
their concerns. At these hearing the streets were to be narrowed one foot on either side.
Somewhere about a month or
so ago the streets were to be
narrowed to two feet on either side. No residents were
informed of this change at
that time.
Mayor Rich Nagel said it
was too late in the process to
make any changes. The twofoot change was made after
the 2014 meeting. It was alright for them or the engineer
to change this about a month
or so ago with no residents
informed of it, so why can’t
the changes to the street
width be made now as construction of the curb hasn’t
started.
Not mentioned also in the
newspaper is that when the
new school is built the streets
could become bus routes and
if they were narrowed and it
became a safety hazard to
pedestrians and traffic, the
streets would be designated
as one-way streets or parking
on one side only.
The school will provide a
parking area sacrificing the
playground area, but will it
hold 75 to 100 cars (conservatively speaking) that park
around the school and neighboring blocks not only for
school time but for events
such as basketball, etc.
City Council member Jim
Heiland remarked about a
street in the Twin Cities as
being narrow and cars pass
safely on them. How many
streets become one-ways or
park on one side only when
the snow piles up. Arlington
isn’t the Twin Cities nor do
we want to be.
We were informed by the
engineer that by narrowing
the streets the city could save
$100,000 in blacktop if
streets were narrowed. How
far will $100,000 go if accidents occur to fix vehicles not
to say hopefully not lives.
Why sidewalks? Replace
them where they are needed.
Very few people use them nor
do children going to school.
The remark was made at the
city council meeting to have
policemen arrest them. We
have an excellent police department whose time can be
used for other duties than jay
walking people and if that be
the case we all at sometime
would be arrested in the
downtown area.
We as concerned citizens
hope the mayor and city
council will make some
changes to keep Arlington a
safer place to live and safe
streets to drive on.

Contract With
Renville County
The Board approved a renewal contract with Melissa
Koford, eligibility worker
from Renville County, to provide training and mentoring
for new eligibility workers in
Sibley County. Koford will
be paid $18.28 an hour and
the contract is effective May
31 through Dec 31.
Greater MN
Contract
The Board approved an
amendment to the Greater
Minnesota Family Services
contract to increase the fulltime equivalents (FTE) from
1.5 to 2 full-time equivalents.
Public Health and Human
Services Director Vicki Stock
said that Greater Minnesota
Family Services asked for
this increase because it is easier to recruit for a full-time
position than a part-time position. The cost to increase
the position from .5 to 1 FTE
is $39,464 before third-party
reimbursements such as medical assistance and private insurance. The Board voted 4-1
to amend the contract to increase the position to fulltime. Commissioner Harder
voted against.
