Highway 5 Gaylord to
Arlington construction
will begin in mid May
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Weather permitting, motorists are advised that road
construction on the Highway
5 Project from Gaylord to Arlington may begin as early as
Monday, May 13, according
to the Minnesota Department
of Transportation (Mn/DOT).
Mn/DOT officials said
work will begin on a bridge
just east of Gaylord which
will result in a two-week detour to Highway 19 and
County Road 13.
Work will also begin in
Arlington with the reconstruction of sidewalk ramps
throughout town on Highway
5, according to Mn/DOT officials. The sidewalk improvements will be made on alternating ramps so that pedestrians are not inconvenienced.
When the bridge work and
pedestrian ramps are complete, the contractor will
begin a resurfacing operation
from First Street in Gaylord
to Sheila Drive in Arlington,
according to Mn/DOT officials. Traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled
with flagging operations and
a pilot car. Motorists are advised to drive with caution
through the work zone and
watch for workers, equipment
and traffic control devices.
Central Specialties, Inc.,
Alexandria, is the contractor
on the $2,593,892 project.
The project should be complete in early July. Motorists
can expect a smoother ride on
Highway 5 and pedestrians in
Arlington will have ADA
compliant sidewalks.
A second project on Highway 5 from Arlington to
Green Isle is scheduled to
begin in July.

Amsden was recently hired

Despite reporting a low
collection rate for the cost of
the detox program, Sibley
County Public Health and
Human Services Director
Vicki Stock said it is getting
better at the April 23 meeting
of the board of commissioners.
The 2012 detox report
showed Sibley County was
billed $19,206 for services
provided by the Brown County Detox Center. After
$3,332.80 was collected and
another $3,903.20 was written off, the balance of costs
owed to the county was
$16,292.
“From $2001 we have a little over $101,000 still owed
to us from people who were
in detox,” said Stock. “We
typically don’t write off bills,
but there are situations when
we will have to. For instance,
if we don’t have any contact
information from a person for
three years, we may look at it
as a write-off.”
The county also can not
charge back to the clients
who are on federal poverty
guidelines or if they are on
public assistance. Sibley
County does continue to attempt cost collection and
does send cases to the revenue recapture program and
tries to get costs back.
“We send letters saying
what we are owed and a fair
number pay us right away,”
said Stock. “Others wait,
thinking it will go away. It
just won’t.”
Stock said the county has
“an unusual formula” with
the Brown County Detox
Center. Sibley County is
charged for services after any
third party liabilities are paid,
such as insurance companies.
In 2012, the amount billed
to Sibley County was
$19,206, including a 12 percent charge to the county for
helping with billing and collection.
“We found it is much easier for the detox center to do
the billing because they have
a person right there who can
take insurance information,”
explained Stock. “Previously,
they billed us the full amount
and we had to try to get a
hold of the people to get that
information. Often times they
would not provide it or we
could not find them. This is a
fairly new concept that seems
to be working very well.”

News Briefs
Accident in City of Gaylord
An accident involving a parked truck reportedly occurred in front of Oak Terrace on Third Street in Gaylord at about 2:15 p.m. Saturday, April 27, according to
the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department.
Elizabeth M. Stuewe, 32, Glencoe, reported that
someone had hit her parked truck and then drove off.
The driver, Raymond H. Otto, 86, Gaylord, had reportedly struck the truck, left the scene and then came back
to report the accident.
The Otto vehicle sustained moderate damage. The
Stuewe vehicle sustained minor damage.
Head-on crash near Le Sueur
A head-on accident, without injuries, reportedly occurred on Sand Prairie Road about two miles northwest
of Le Sueur at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, April 7, according to
the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department.
A vehicle driven by Brianna E. Robeck, 20, Le Sueur,

Sibley County Continued from page 1
The total amount billed to
clients in Sibley County was
$23,528, which is higher than
what the county was billed because the county bills for the
full cost, including the 12 percent fee charged by detox.
The county is named under
state statute to cover the costs
for detox. The average cost
per stay is $340 a day and the
average stay is two days.
“It is really our only option
in this area for detox,” says
Stock. “We are a member
county, so if we pay our bill
within 30 days we get a $65
reduction per client per day,
where a non-member county
does not get the discount.”

part of the Brown County
building, Sibley County rates
Several mailboxes vandalized
An individual or individuals reportedly smashed several mailboxes in New Auburn Township sometime between 9 p.m. Friday, April 26 through 8 a.m. Saturday,
April 27, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department.
Accident outside of Green Isle
An accident reportedly occurred along Highway 5
just outside Green Isle at 3:45 p.m. Friday, April 26, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department.
Further details were unavailable as information was
not included on the Minnesota State Patrol website. In
addition, the state patrol did not respond to an e-mail
from the Arlington Enterprise.
Kube named to President’s List
Thomas Kube, a 2012 graduate of the Sibley East
Senior High School, was recently named to the President’s List at Central Lakes College, Brainerd and Staples.
The President's List includes 299 students who earned
a grade-point average of 3.75 to 4.0 while enrolled for
at least 12 credits.
He is the son of James and Bonnie Kube, Arlington.
were raised. Stock said it is
still the cheapest option in the
area.
For the last four years, the
average of what Sibley County was billed for detox is just
under $26,000. Stock said the
county had two years since
2001 that stood out when it
had extremely high detox
bills, both higher than
$30,000 and one was over
$40,000.
Many years ago, the Sibley
Medical Center used to have
detox services, but got out of
it.
“They tell us that the people
they are seeing now are sicker
with drugs, alcohol and medication in their systems,” said
Stock, about how it takes
longer to detox a patient to get
drugs out of their system.
Other Business
• In other public health and
human services news, Stock
reported the resignation of
two staff, both going over to
Carver County.
“We will look to reorganize
internally,” said Stock. “We
anticipate more leaving because a lot of the staff does
commute. One cut commute
miles from 40 miles to 23.
With big fuel prices we can
understand that.”
• May is Mental Health
Month and National Foster
Care Month. To bring mental
health issues to the attention
of the public, the county will
do news articles and churches
will receive information for
their bulletins if they choose.
“We have bookmarks that
list famous people who had
mental health issues,” said
Stock. “It shows there should
be no stigma to it and we want
to get across that this is an illness.”
There will be a free food
stand set up in May at Jerry’s
Foods when handing out informational materials. To promote healthier eating, public
health will be giving out yogurt this year.
• Last year the county went
over its burial fund of
$20,000. Stock said she will
be coming to the board with a
new policy for burials, where
it should be made clearer what
the county pays or does not
pay.
The next Sibley County
board meeting is Tuesday,
May 14.

Green Isle resident Korri Perschau received the fourth
place soils specialist individual award during the Ridgewater College Agriculture Department Annual Awards

Matt and Corine Carney open new
restaurant, Side Dish, in Arlington
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Matt and Corine Carney,
owners of the Arlington
Dugout, have opened Side
Dish in the former VFW
Building along the 300 block
of West Main Street in downtown Arlington.
The new business is adjacent to the Arlington Dugout,
but an inside door connects
the two businesses.
The couple, after a year of
talks, purchased the building
for the new restaurant in February.
“We thought having the
food in the restaurant paired
with the alcohol in the bar
would be a big benefit,” said
Matt.
The front room of the new
restaurant has been completedly remodeled. The previous
bar has been removed to create more space for the salad
bar and to comfortably seat
45 people. The couple hopes
to add another 30 to 40 seats
in the back room. New chairs,
tables and booths are also
featured in the front room.
The restaurant, which features a full breakfast, lunch
and dinner menu, is open
from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven
days a week.
“We wanted to bring a new
style menu to the community,” said Matt. “Everything is
pretty much made in house.
We bake our own bread for
our sandwiches. We cut our
own steaks here too. We also
have a variety of turkey, beef,
lamb and pork chorizo burgers.”
The couple is also looking
to buy products from local
farmers as much as possible.
“Obviously, there will be
some items that we will have
to get off the truck,” said
Matt and Corine, who have
owned the Arlington Dugout
for the past four years.
The couple plans to offer
daily lunch specials and
theme style dinners on the
weekends in the future.
Fridley resident Shawn
Richardson, who previously
owned Woodsman Grill in
Anoka, has been hired as the
head chef.
The couple currently has
10 to 12 employees and
hopes to hire five to six additional employees down the
road.
The back room is also
available to rent for private
parties, meetings and luncheons.

Opinions
Sibley County Court news
makes its debut in this
week’s newspaper
Our View: Readers have
repeatedly requested it
The Arlington Enterprise, like any other business, has received its share of suggestions and requests over the years.
The one repeated request is for the local newspaper to publish the weekly Sibley County Court news.
The hometown newspaper, after several months of debate
and discussion, recently decided to publish the weekly Sibley County Court news. The debut of the court news is
published on page 8 in this week’s edition of the Arlington
Enterprise.
The Sibley County Court news is public record and will
add another dimension for people who read in the Arlington Enterprise. For some readers, it will become a popular
section in the newspaper like the front page news, sports,
obituaries and letters to the editor. Other readers may not
care unless their name appears in the court news.
Other than the weekly publication of this court news in
the local newspaper, another constant is the entire document will be printed exactly as it is received. No names
will be conveniently omitted. In other words, people can
save their dime in attempt to have their name removed
from the court news. All names will be published, even the
employees of this newspaper.

Before long, a cop came and said,
“What’s the problem, got stuck,

Thinking quickly, the truck

A woman got on a bus but soon

Letters To The Editor
Update on budget bills from Gruenhagen
To The Editor,
I wanted to share with constituents some updates about the
budget bills passed by the House
this past week. I hope, as always,
you’ll contact me with any input
you have about these or any future
bills. These bills will ultimately go
to conference committee, where differences between the House and the
Senate will be worked out before
coming back to the House for final
passage before heading to the Governor's desk.
Health and
Human Services
The only budget area Democrats
chose to cut this session was in
Health and Human Services. While I
was glad to see Democrats talking
about starting to bend down the cost
curve and get HHS spending under
control, the cuts that were made
were without any meaningful reforms that would reduce future
costs, and were made indiscriminately in areas that could have negative consequences on the state of
Minnesota.
Part of the $150 million dollar cut
to the HHS budget was $26 million
from nursing homes and senior care
centers. Minnesota has an aging
population. By 2020, it's estimated
that we will have more seniors in retirement than students in our K-12
education system. With these kind
of demographic realities, it doesn't
make sense to be cutting funding
from senior care centers.
The Republican budget we passed
in 2011 made a promise to seniors.
Unfortunately, Democrats reneged
on that promise to the tune of a $26
million dollar cut from what Republicans had set under law to give to
the nursing homes and senior care
centers.
Again, I applaud the majority for
finally coming to realize that we
must get our spending under control,
but this is simply the wrong way to
do it. We must make serious reforms
that address the cost drivers in our
health care system, and find ways to
deliver health care services to our
citizens more efficiently and more
effectively, rather than cutting from
our most vulnerable. With 100 nursing homes at risk of closure around
the state, it's irresponsible and risky
to be making these types of cuts.
K-12 Education
As a member of the Education Finance committee, it was great to see
months of work and collaboration
come to the floor in the form of the
K-12 Omnibus bill.
I ultimately voted no on the K-12
bill because it removes graduation
standard testing, and dilutes the
meaning of a students’ diploma. It
also grows the Minnesota Department of Education, adding layers of
bureaucracy in the form of “regional
centers of excellence” rather than
adding more funding that would go
directly to classrooms.
Worse, the bill has a $1 billion
dollar negative tail, meaning we will
be faced with a funding shortfall in
future years, even though the Democrats are already raising $3 billion dollars in new taxes and fees.
Will you and your family be better off?
To The Editor,
How bad is the Tax Omnibus
Bill? It is so bad that the DFL majority could not pass their own bill
the first time and after twisting some
arms revoted and passed the bill.
This bill raises $1,839,393,000 (1.84
billion) in new tax hikes for FY
2014-15. It would make Minnesota’s
income tax the fourth highest in the
nation, behind only California,
Hawaii and Oregon. This bill
freezes tax relief on commercial real
estate and creates a new sales tax on
services and internet sales.
Minnesotans can’t afford the Senate Democrats’ tax plan. Everyone
will pay more for clothing, auto repair, haircuts and over-the-counter
medication. We should not be extracting an extra dime from hardworking taxpayers of Minnesota
until the legislature goes line-by-line
through our budget and cuts the
waste that has been accumulating.
Raising taxes penalizes small busi-
nesses and jeopardizes the welfare
of people who work for those businesses.
Think about this, the DFL party is
elated to be raising your taxes. Senator Rod Skoe, Senate Tax Chair, was
quoted in Politics in Minnesota as
saying: “When I woke up this morning, I was so excited I almost
smiled,” on having his Tax Omnibus
bill being heard. You can read the
whole article here: http://politicsinminnesota.com/2013/04/senate-taxbill-increases-top-income-tax-rateto-9-4-percent/.
Below are the major provisions in
the bill that employers and employees alike will be facing should the
DFL pass this tax bill:
• Increases sales taxes in the
amount of $89 million over FY
2014-15 by expanding the sales tax
base to include a new sales tax on:
• Clothing, over the counter drugs,
personal services (hair, nails, tattoos), other personal services (wed-
ding planning, dating services, personal shopping), auto repair services, household goods repair and
maintenance, electronic and commercial equipment repair and maintenance, warehousing and storage
services, telecommunications equipment, court reporter documents, and
publications (excluding newspapers).
• Increases cigarette/tobacco taxes
by $333 million over FY 2014-15
largely through adopting the Governor’s $0.94 per pack additional tax
on cigarettes.
• Increases individual income
taxes by $1.2 billion by increasing
the current 7.85 percent third tier to
9.4 percent.
• Single: $79,730.
• Head of Household: $120,070.
• Married joint: $140,960.
This is not the “Tax the Rich.”

Tired of budget shenanigans?
By Lee H. Hamilton
With the formal release of President Obama’s budget, the pieces are
finally in place for a reprise of the
Washington drama we’ve all come
to know. There will be high-stakes
negotiations, lines in the sand, and
enough intrigue to keep Beltway insiders riveted by every piece of
breaking news.
The rest of us, though, are already
worn out. In repeated conversations
with ordinary people, I’ve been
struck by the immense frustration
I’ve encountered. They’re tired of
brinksmanship and constant fiscal
crisis. They’re fed up with accusations, spin, fear mongering, and intransigence. They’ve had it with a
complex, opaque process when the

growth — seems evident. Above all,
they’re weary of a government that
appears addicted to crisis. Why, they
wonder, can we not pass a budget in
an orderly, rational way?
It’s a good question, though the
answer is hardly reassuring: I believe Congress no longer knows
how. Talking to a group of younger
members recently, I realized they’d
had no experience of following regular procedures to craft a budget.
They’ve spent their congressional
careers watching the leadership put
it together in an ad-hoc, crisis-fueled
manner. True budget-making skills

Henderson Fire and Rescue
awarded $600,000 grant for
Sibley County radio project
U.S. Representative Collin
Peterson announced that the
Henderson Fire and Rescue
Department has been awarded $603,638 for operations
and safety from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant
(AFG) Program of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA).
“These grants are critical
to departments like Henderson Fire and Rescue, and I’m
happy to see them get these
funds for such an important
project,” Peterson said. “I'm
thankful for all the volunteer
firefighters and first-responders who are so critical to all
our rural communities.”
The grant will be used to
purchase communications
equipment for emergency re-
sponders throughout Sibley
County, including law enforcement, hospitals and public works departments, according to Tom Phillips, who
has worked on the project
since 2007.
“We are just really grateful
for the work of Representative Peterson and his staff to
see this project through,”
Phillips said.
Since 2001, the AFG has
provided approximately
$5.25 billion in grants to
first-responder organizations
to obtain much-needed emergency response equipment,
personal protective equipment, firefighting and emergency vehicles, and training.
The purpose of the AFG is
to award grants directly to
fire departments and Emergency Medical Services or-
ganizations (EMS) that are
unaffiliated with a hospital to
enhance their ability to protect the health and safety of
the public, as well as that of
first-responder personnel.
Using a competitive process
that is overseen by fire service subject matter experts,
grants are awarded to applicants whose requests best address the priorities of the
AFG Program.
Operations and Safety
Grant projects funded include
professional training, wellness and fitness programs
equipment, personal protective equipment, modifications
to facilities, and supplies that
support firefighting and nonaffiliated EMS operations and
safety.
ties. Once the full committee
acts, its measure goes to the
floor for further debate,
amendments, and a vote.
Eventually, the bills arrived at
separately by the House and
the Senate get reconciled and
go to the President to be
signed.
The advantage of the regular order, in addition to its
transparency and accountability, is that it spreads the workload and makes room for the
expertise and considered
judgment of a wide array of
legislators. In the past, the
leadership deferred to experienced committee chairmen
who knew the issues they
were confronting inside and
out, and who had a talent for
drafting legislation. Rankand-file members had a
chance to influence the outcome through amendments
and debate. The process
played to Congress’s core
strength of deliberation.
Not any longer. Now, huge
omnibus bills and continuing
resolutions — not to mention
represents a broken promise
to our Greatest Generation,
and an astonishing move
from the Democrats, whose
priorities are clearly out of
line,” said Gruenhagen, RGlencoe.
Gruenhagen explained that
the DFL’s budget cuts will
jeopardize 115 senior living
facilities, 15,000 long-term
care workers, and countless
rural communities.
“We need to be going line
by line through our budget to
eliminate wasteful government spending, streamline
our government programs
and find cost savings,” said
State Representative Dean
Urdahl, R-Acton Township.
“That money can be used to
fund the promises made to
our seniors. Why the Democrats feel the need to raise $3
billion in new revenue but
make cuts to our most vulnerable is simply beyond me.”
Urdahl said that House Democrats are claiming an increase in nursing home funding in their budget, but he explained that the “increase”
actually amounts to a net cut
of $26 million in the 20142015 biennium baseline. He
added that $26 million, at
minimum, was needed to
maintain current service levels at nursing home and senior care facilities across the
state.
Newman Continued from page 4
mantra the Governor has been
promoting, but rather a tax increase on middle income, taxpayers.
• Increases the Statewide
Property Tax by $176 million
largely by freezing the tax rate
for Commercial-Industrial
(C/I) property at the rate imposed for taxes payable in
2002. The inflator for C/I
property is eliminated.
• Increases business taxes
by a net $63 million in FY
2014-15 through the repeal of
the Foreign Royalty Deduction. With the repeal of this
deduction on business income
earned outside of the state of
Minnesota, why would a corporation remain or come to
Minnesota? Does our tax poli-
cy affect business decisions,
remember HTI?
• Creates a 13 percent
sports memorabilia gross receipts tax ($32 million tax increase) imposed at the wholesale level on licensed professional and Collegiate Division
1 merchandise.
• Recognizes a $24 million
estate tax increase by tightening current law criteria on exemptions for qualified farms
and small businesses.
• Increases sales tax on
rental vehicles by almost 50
percent from 6.2 percent to
9.05 percent raising $15 million.
• Expands sales taxes on internet sales, digital downloads
and direct satellite services.
The DFL campaigned that
they would only raise taxes on
the “rich” and that any tax increases would only impact a
few people. As you can see by
the proposed tax increases
above; that is not the case.
The simple truth is that higher
taxes do not lead to a healthier
economy. Minnesota can’t afford to have thousands of
small businesses, pay more in
taxes rather than hire new employees, buy new equipment
or otherwise expand their
business.
So I ask you: Will you and
your family be better off if
this bill becomes law?

a clear, fair way to scrutinize,
consider, debate, and reach
consensus on the divisive issues that go along with taxing
and spending.
The last time Congress
passed a regular-order budget,
not an omnibus spending bill,
was 1997. Though it was far
from a tidy process, its abandonment, I believe, is what
has produced our current
mess.
So what is the regular
order? The President submits
a budget on time (not two
months late, as President
Obama has just done). Then
congressional committees and
subcommittees take it up, dividing their work according to
the departments of government — agriculture, defense,
transportation and the like.
They hold hearings, call witnesses, explore what the executive branch has done with its
money in the past, and consider its plans for the future.
They debate and draft their
own proposals, and allow
amendments from both par-

a handful of leaders and their
staffs. They don’t have specific, detailed expertise, and
they’re more interested in
seeking partisan advantage
than in fair process or effective legislating.
Too often in the past, members of Congress have sought
some automatic budget mechanism — a balanced-budget
amendment, say, or budget
caps — to solve their problems. Mostly, these have been
a way to avoid the hard choices required by the regular
order. In the end, there’s no
substitute for experience,
knowledge, hard work, compromise, and a resolve to seek
solutions. That’s what the regular order would encourage.
It’s time for Congress to stop
paying it lip service and actually revive it.

Reminders For
CRP Contract Holders
The primary wildlife nesting season for Sibley County
begins May 15 and ends Aug.
1. CRP cover is not to be disturbed (mowed, burned,
sprayed, etc.) during this period of time. Spot treatment
(limited to the affected areas
of the field) for noxious weed
and insect control may be allowed during the primary
nesting season if left untreated, would adversely impact
the approved cover. It is your
responsibility as a CRP participant to comply with Minnesota’s noxious weed laws.
Request approval from
FSA in advance before conducting any acreage management activities which would
include mowing, burning or
light disking.
Annual acreage reporting
of CRP acres must be completed by July 15 in order to
receive your CRP annual
rental payment in October.
You may stop in our office to
certify the CRP acreage or
you may request the form by
e-mail or fax by calling the
office at 507-237-2948 ext. 2.
If you operate other cropland
in addition to having CRP,
your certification of CRP
acres can be done when you
certify crops.
Please contact our office if
you have any changes that
may affect CRP payment eligibility or interest in the CRP
contract acreage such as
transfer of ownership, establishment of trusts or entities,
etc.
If you have any questions
regarding the terms and conditions of your CRP contract,
please contact our office.

MVEC’s annual meeting celebrates year of reliable
power, competitive electric rates and quality service
2013 was another successful year of reliable power,
quality service and competitive electric rates, according
to General Manager Roger
Geckler at Minnesota Valley
Electric Cooperative’s 76th
Annual Meeting in Jordan on
April 23. “That’s our goal,”
said Geckler. “It’s why we
exist.”
Embracing new technologies has played a big part in
that success, said Geckler.
Looking ahead, MVEC recently completed a $24 million three-year work plan for
future construction and up-
grades within the cooperative’s nine-county service
area.
Geckler outlined three new
member programs launching
in 2013: the Beat the Peak
Energy Challenge (featuring
$20,000 in team and individual cash prizes), a WiFi programmable thermostat project
and a payback component to
the Pay as you Go pre-pay
program.
Financially, the cooperative
is in great shape, according to
Gerry Mareck, vice president
of finance. Increased kilowatt
hour sales, holding distribu-
tion costs flat and well-managed wholesale power purchases allowed the cooperative to give a $1.5 million refund to the membership in
December 2012, in addition
to a Capital Credit refund this
March for $751,000.
In the Board of Directors’
election, incumbents Deborah
Erickson of Savage and
James Connelly of Belle
Plaine were re-elected. Gary
Haberman of Chanhassen
was elected to replace Tom
Graham of Henderson who
retired from the board of directors this month.

Michael Asmus presents organ and
conducting evening in Christ Chapel
It’s Spring!
Arlington resident Dan Meffert and his
dog, Papi, took a break from their walk
around town on Sunday morning, April
28. The temperature was in the upper
70’s which was a huge difference from
the weather during the previous week.
Senior music major
Michael Asmus, Gaylord,
presented his senior organ
and conducting recital in
Christ Chapel on the Gustavus Adolphus College
campus on Sunday, April
21.
The program of organ,
chorus and chamber orchestra included the assistance of Michael’s instructor, organist Chad Winterfeldt, and nearly 60 of
Michael’s fellow students
in Le Grande Bande &
Chorus. The recital began
at 7:30 p.m.
Michael’s recital was
presented in two sections.
The recital began with
Michael playing the organ
for Charles Standfords’
Organ Sonata No. 2, Op.
151 and Dan Locklair ’s
work Rubrics. The following work, Standford’s Ye
Choris of New Jerusalem,
Op. 123, featured Michael
conducting a choral ensemble of his own creation, including 33 of his fellow
students accompanied by
Chad Winterfeldt on the
organ. The final work in the
first selection was a solo
organ selection with
Michael playing the organ
for O Mensch, bewein’ dein
Sünde groβ, BWW 622 by
Johann Sebastian Bach.
After an intermission, the
recital continued with the
addition of a chamber orchestra of 19 orchestral
members, and opened with
the Organ Concerto Op. 4,
No. 4 by George F. Handel
with Michael conducting
and playing organ. He then
moved to harpsichord and
directed Johann C. F.
Bach's Sinfonia in d minor.
The chorus then joined the
chamber orchestra for the
final selection of the recital,
Handel's The King Shall
Rejoice, with Michael con-
ducting his Le Grand
Bande & Chorus.
Sunday's recital was followed by a reception for
the musicians and the audience in the main entrance
to Gustavus' Christ Chapel.
The audience of more than
100 included Michael's
band, piano, organ, choral
and conducting mentors
from the Gaylord, Arlington, St. Peter and Gustavus
communities.
Michael is a 2009 Sibley
East Senior High School
graduate and is the son of
Brian and Diana Asmus,
Gaylord. He is a member of
the Gustavus Choir, under
the direction of Gregory
Aune, and has earned the
Gustavus Music Scholarship. After graduation,
Michael plans to continue
working with organ performance and go to graduate school for orchestral
conducting.
