Value engineering approved to cover bid overage
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
The Sibley East School
Board, at its regular monthly
meeting on Monday night,
May 16, approved several
value engineering savings at
the Arlington school site as
presented by Joe Cecko, project manager with RA Morton.
The value engineering sav-
ings items included delete
new flag pole and repurpose
existing for a savings of
$2,500, brick type revision
from modular to utility size
saving $81,300, omitting the
roof top mechanical screening saving $141,413, delete
the 44 X 44 opening in gymnasium bar joist not required
for duct routing saving
$20,000, omit the gypsum
board finish above false ceiling and sound sealant saving
$8,585, vertical unit ventilator model change saving
$42,000, and drop-in ceiling
light fixture change saving
$12,000.
Cecko stated that the value
engineering equals a total deduction of $307,798 which
covers most of the base bid
overage.
RA Morton will also consider changes to the auditorium and gymnasium audio visual systems. Cecko stated
that they will “not compromise overall quality.”
The School Board also approved changing the light fixtures at the elementary school
to match the ones at the high
school for a savings of
$26,506. RA Morton will
also continue to research
other cost savings. Superintendent Jim Amsden stated
that they should “pursue the
ones that make the most
sense.” Cecko assured the
School Board it will not make
any changes that would affect
the quality.

Arlington City Council votes 3-1 to
reaffirm acceptance of TSE building
By Kurt Menk
Editor
The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, May 16,
voted 3-1 and approved a motion to reaffirm its decision
from one year ago and accept
the donation of the administrative building from Technical Services for Electronics,
Inc, at no cost.
The agenda item had been
tabled at the previous regular
meeting on Monday night,
May 2.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Heiland and James Jaszewski all
voted in favor of the motion.
City Council member
Galen Wills voted against the
motion. Wills said the city
currently does not have a use
for the building. He also cited
the cost to maintain the building.
City Council member Jennifer Nuesse had a prior commitment and was unable to
attend the meeting.
The donation includes the
security system along with
some furnishings, according
to City Administrator Liza
Donabauer. The size of the
building is 10,000 square
feet. The building was valued
at $79,200 one year ago.
TSE, according to Donabauer, plans to vacate the
building by the end of July.
The City Council did not
discuss any plans for the use
of the building at the regular
meeting.
3-1 Vote
The City Council, in other
action, voted 3-1 and approved a motion to authorize
a Central Business District
Facade Loan Program.
Battcher, Jaszewski and
Wills all voted in favor of the
motion.
Heiland voted against the
motion because the program
is not open to businesses outside the central business district.
The program will provide
an incentive to stimulate visible investment in Arlington’s
central business district
(downtown). Property owners
are encouraged to consider
improvements that incorporate the surrounding community design and atmosphere
including but not limited to
aesthetics, environment, cultural and historic elements,
and architecture.
The program will provide a
matching forgivable loan for
actual design and construction costs up to $2,500 property address, per calendar
year.
The proceeds from the sale
of the former drycleaner
building has been placed in
the Economic Development
loan fund and will fund the
program.
Overall, it will allow 14
projects to move forward
using the proceeds from the
sale of the building. At this
time, one property owner has
expressed interest in the program.
Other Business
The City Council, in other
business, voted 4-0 and approved a motion to approve a
dance permit for the Arlington Fire Department.
The fire department plans
to combine its previous annual dance held in January and
open house held in October
into a Fall Block Party on
Saturday night, Oct. 15.
A dinner dance will be held
at the fire hall and parking lot
that evening. The meal will
be served from 5 p.m. to 7
p.m. while The Rhythm
Kings will provide musical
entertainment from 5 p.m. to
8 p.m. Maiden Dixie will
play from 8 p.m. to midnight.
A recreational fire (similar to
the one held at Fish Camp
during the Arli-Dazzle celebration, is also planned.
Heiland encouraged the fire
department to keep the volume down on the outdoor
band and be good neighbors.
In other news, Donabauer
announced that the Arlington
Farmers Market is right
around the corner and will
start on Monday, June 6.
Donabauer, in another matter, also announced that the
Arlington Clean Up Day will
be held at the Sibley County
Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. Thursday, June 23.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
June 6.
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Superintendent Jim Amsden, during the regular
monthly meeting of the Sibley East School Board on
Monday night, May 16, reported that Sibley East did
not receive any bids or offers
for the garages at the Arlington school site. He reported
that the garages would have
to be demolished.
School Board member Dan
Woehler then indicated an interest in them. Woehler will
have to supply a bid just like
any other individual and remove them before the construction deadline.
If
Woehler removes the garages
it will lower the estimated
$13,000 in demolition costs.
5-1 Vote
The School Board approved the consulting agreement with Harbo Consulting,
Mankato, by a 5-1 vote.
Harbo agrees to coordinate,
develop, and monitor health
and safety projects; conduct
annual and semi-annual inspections of the facilities for
asbestos and OSHA compliance; prepare reports of all
inspections including proposed work needed to bring
facilities and/or equipment
into compliance; coordinate
testing for lead, radon, asbestos, air quality, and other
substances as needed; coordinate hazardous waste disposal and recycling activities;
provide required training in
Right to Understand, respirator use, and infectious agent,
blood borne pathogens,
chemical hygiene plan, twohour asbestos awareness, and
other agency mandated training; develop an annual health
and safety program for
School Board approval; develop an annual health and
safety 10-year budget as part
of the overall 10-year long
term facility maintenance
plan for fiscal year 2018 to
fiscal year 2029; complete
annual long term facility
maintenance fund application; coordinate and review
health and safety expenditures; maintain all necessary
environmental records and
prepare all required public
notices for distribution; address environmental issues at
the request of the superintendent.
The amount of the contract
will be $57,267 or $19,089
per year during the three-year
contract.
School Board member
Nathan Kranz voted against
approving the contract because Sibley East had not
priced around with other consultants.
Superintendent Amsden
stated that they had not
shopped around because they
have been “happy with
[Harbo’s] service and they
are already familiar with the
area.”
Lease
Agreement
The School Board entered
into a lease agreement with
Arlington Storage, Inc. to
lease 1,980 square feet located at Sixth Street in Arlington
at $200 per month. Arlington
Storage, Inc. is owned by
School Board member Dan
Woehler.
Woehler presented an affidavit which stated he was a
school board member and
owner of the business, but
that the price offered was a
reasonable value because the
expected price for such a size
unit would be in excess of
$500 per month.
Increase In
Lunch Prices
Board approved a 10 cent increase in school lunch prices
to continue to move toward
full compliance with the Federal Health Hunger Free Kids
Act of 2010. The bill allows
the USDA to implement new
standards for lunches provided in schools and provides
funding for nutrition programs and free lunch programs. This bill was signed
into law in December of 2013
by President Obama and the
new nutrition standards are
part of First Lady Michelle
Obama’s fight against childhood obesity. The bill provided $4.5 billion in new
funding for these programs
for 10 years and requires
schools to be audited every
three years to improve compliance with nutritional standards.
Superintendent Amsden reported that “42 to 43 percent
(of Sibley East students) receive free and reduced lunches.”
Board will hold its next regular monthly meeting in Arlington at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
June 20.

The former Lazy S Saloon
in New Auburn was destroyed in a fire early Sunday
morning, May 15, according
to the Sibley County Sheriff’s
Department.
The sheriff ’s department
took a report of a structure
fire at 7401 Seventh Avenue
to approve renewed membership in the Minnesota State
High School League for 20162017.
Kranz questioned the cost
of membership and voted no
because he “did not know the
dollar amounts.”
Business Manager Janna
Tessmer later informed the
School Board that the costs
were $2,090.
Revised Budget
The School Board approved
the revised 2016 school budg-
et presented by Tessmer. The
total revised revenue for
2015-2016 is at $59,827,826.
The revenue amount includes
the $43 million for the school
construction projects. The expenditures are at $21,904,726.
Tessmer budgeted a loss of
$35,664 in the unassigned
general fund balance and stated that they would like to see
it close to zero. If necessary,
they will move some of the
tech director’s salary and benefits into operating capital.

Construction to begin
on Arlington school site
Our View: Selling memorial bricks
would be an outstanding fundraiser
The renovation/addition project at the Sibley East Public School in Arlington is set to begin Monday, May 23.
As Superintendent Jim Amsden stated in a letter to the
editor this week, “During the next 18 months there will
be a significant amount of construction activity at the Arlington site.”
This is also an excellent opportunity for the Sibley
East School Board to explore an idea to sell bricks as
memorials from the 1936 portion of the building which
is set to be demolished. Former and current students and
teachers, along with school district residents, would have
a chance to purchase a brick and have a permanent part
of Arlington, Arlington-Green Isle and Sibley East
school history.
The Arlington Historical Society, which pushed to
have the south entrance arch of the 1936 building to be
part of the new construction, would be a logical choice
to facilitate the memorial brick program. The Arlington
Historical Society, for its efforts in this endeavor, could
be given a portion of the fundraising monies. The remaining monies could go into special fund and be a resource for additional scholarships or a particular project
at the school.
The memorial brick program would be a win-win opportunity for Sibley East. People could have a part of
history and the school could raise additional funds at the
same time. Since the bricks are already there, the only
real expense would be the purchase of a small inscripted
plaque which could be glued to each stone.
This idea and opportunity beats the current plan of
hauling the bricks to a landfill.

Two inexperienced hunters went
hunting in the woods. Before long
they got lost. “Don’t worry,” said the
first hunter, “I heard that when
you’re lost you should fire three
shots in the air and someone should
hear you.”
They fired three shots in the air
and waited a half hour. They tried
again another three and nothing happened. Finally they decided they
would try it once more.
“This better work,” said the second hunter nervously. “These are
our last arrows!”

A passenger train is creeping
along, slowly. Finally it creaks to a
halt. A passenger sees a conductor
walking by outside. “What’s going
on?” she yells out the window.
“Horse on the track!” replies the
conductor.
Ten minutes later, the train resumes its slow pace. However, five
minutes later it stops again.
The lady sees the conductor
walking by again. She leans out
and yells, “What happened? We
caught up to that horse again?”

“Take out a pen and paper,” the
teacher said. “Imagine you are a millionaire, and write an essay on how

A husband and wife are fighting,

Letters To The Editor
They just can’t help themselves
To The Editor,
For months, years actually, I have
been complaining about the increased rate of spending approved
by the Minnesota Legislature. This
session alone I have been critical of
the spending in the Transportation,
Bonding, Supplemental Budget, and
Tax bills approved by the Senate
DFL majority. Allow me to use SF
3572, which passed off the Senate
Floor today, to better illustrate my
frustration with the level of legislative spending in Minnesota.
Senate File 3572 is a composite
of several state agencies that found
some money left unspent from a
prior appropriation that is about to
expire. Rather than allowing that to
happen, the Department of Agriculture discovered an unfunded “need”,
so they proposed to grab the money
before the appropriation expires. It’s
not a lot of money by State standards (only about $3.5M), but that’s
not the point. The point is “they”
(the DFL majority in the Senate)
cannot stop spending. I think they
have Addictive Spending Syndrome,
not unlike being an adjudicated
spendthrift. It’s a political condition
that develops when part of the legislature is left in control for decades
and has no fear of reprisal from constituents.
Whether you consider yourself a
Republican, Democrat, or Independent, you must face the reality that
the DFL-led Senate is spending us
into perdition. For a least a decade,
your state spending has increased at
an alarming rate and has been ex-
tracted from you to pay for programs you don’t know about and
likely wouldn’t approve of if you
did.
I’m sending out a warning to you
and using SF 3572 as the best example I can find to illustrate the mindset of those who are in control of the
Minnesota Senate. They just can’t
help themselves, so you are going to
have to hold them accountable and
let them know they can’t get away
with this kind of spending.
Please do not hesitate to contact
me with any comments, questions,
or concerns.

Superintendent Amsden updates school neighbors
Dear School Neighbors,
The new construction and remodeling project at the Arlington Campus is set to begin on May 23. During the next 18 months there will be
a significant amount of construction
activity at our Arlington site.
Workers will begin their work day
at 7 a.m. and conclude each day by
5 p.m. During this period of time
residents will notice increased diesel
truck traffic on Second Avenue as
equipment and materials are delivered to the Arlington site. There will
undoubtedly be increased noise levels from back-up beepers and construction equipment during the work
period. During dry periods there will
be increased levels of dust surrounding the site.
RA Morton Construction Managers have assigned Mr. Michael
Beach to be the site construction
manager. He will work closely with
city and school officials to coordinate all construction activities that
surround the school site. He will
also be available to surrounding res-
idents to address questions or concerns related to the construction
process. Mr. Beach can be contacted
by phone at 218-766-7350 or e-mail
[email protected].
We look forward to the completion of the new and updated facilities during the next 18 months.
These facilities will serve our students for generations to come and be
an asset to our local communities
and school district.

Charity helps, but it’s not the answer
By Glenn Mollette
I’ve been involved in benevolent
projects for many years. Most of
these efforts have been buying and
distributing food and clothes for the
very poor. In recent years I have
been involved in Safe Fresh water
wells for rural South Africa. As long
as I live I will be involved in some
type of Christian related humanitarian project at some level. I don’t regret being connected to doing something to help people who are hurting. There is a tremendous blessing
that comes through handing a kid a
new pair of athletic shoes or a new
coat. I wish I could do more.
The problem is that charity is not
the answer. It helps. It’s just not the
answer.
I would take one small factory
hiring one hundred people in a
county over fifty charities in a county. A paycheck is always better than
a handout. One factory or any employer hiring one hundred people at
a reasonable salary is better than a
bunch a little charities raking and
scraping to keep a light bulb burning
at their local food bank. Unfortunately, too many of these charities
are visited once or more a month by

low paid workers who simply cannot survive on $8 an hour. Thus, you
have the unemployed and the working poor who keep the food pantries
open and scurrying for funds to buy
cheap food from a larger national
network chain. Overall, America
must have higher wages. We hear
too much about sticking higher
wages to a few certain corporations.
However, we must bring real paying
jobs back to America from coast to
coast.
Sadly, I can go back to the same
places where food and clothes have
been disbursed and nothing has
changed. The same little shacks with
the same families live inside. As I
have heard, give a man a fish and
you’ll feed him again and again.
Teach him to fish and he will feed
himself.

have idle space Monday through

al support might enable somebody
to get started in a business that
might eventually hire others. Years
ago, one of our local churches put in
a Subway restaurant as a way to
help church members have employment. Churches have to do more
than just plan the next potluck dinner. What if your church or nonprofit could help a few people out of
unemployment? Surely, this would
be the beginning path to a brighter
life. Also think about how you might
help others educationally. You could
provide a free Internet Café with
some weekly adult education. Please
know there are lots of people out
there in your community who do not
know how to do anything. Some
training might save them and a future generation.
If you are feeling entrepreneurial

From the Green Isle RecordEvidence of the redskins having at one time inhabited the
shores of lakes in Washington
Lake township was proven last
week when Owenie Keefe found
an Indian axe or tomahawk on
his land near the lake last week.
The weapon or tool was made
out of a piece of granite rock
and weighs about five pounds
and is in perfect condition. It is
reported that a number of other
articles, such as pipes and arrowheads, have been found near
there some years ago. The axe
can be seen at the Green Isle
filling station.
The new turbine pump which
was installed at the village
pumping station last week, was
tried out Saturday and is operating very satisfactorily. The
pump is delivering about 600
gallons of water per minute and
can fill the huge tank in one
hour and a half. A couple of
hours of pumping each day is
now sufficient to keep the village supplied, whereas, with the
old pump it was necessary to
pump almost continually.

Milt Fall had been fishing but
with bad luck. On his way home
he entered a fish market and said
to the dealer, “Harry, stand over
there and throw me five of the
biggest of those trout.”
“Throw ‘em? What for?”
asked the dealer in amazement.
“I want to tell the family I
caught ‘em. I may be a poor
fisherman, but I’m no liar.”

Good neighbors gathered at
the Clarence Bergs farm on the
east side of the city last Sunday
and took over the job of planting
the crop for the owner, who is
hospitalized with injuries sustained in a tractor accident last
week. They plowed, harrowed
and seeded all day, and when
evening came the job was done.
The skies literally opened up
and shed their moisture to the
very limit Tuesday night. It
started raining shortly after the
supper hour and continued at intervals during the night. About
two and one-half inches of rain
fell before morning, according
to the rain gauge at the Big
Stone Canning Co. The rain put
a damper on farm work for a
few days at least.

Protect your personal information from marketers
Editor’s Note: The following article was submitted by
the Office of Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson.
Senior citizens often receive mail that asks for their
personal information in exchange for details about life
insurance, funeral expense
benefits or supplemental
Medicare benefits. Once seniors provide their information, they are sometimes
flooded with mailed solicitations or hounded by sales
calls.
The organizations that send
these mailings are not affiliated with the government. They
sell your personal information to insurance companies
that then use it to try to sell
you life, burial, or supplemental Medicare insurance.
These companies, called
“lead generators,” send mailings that look like they may
be from government agencies. They feature headings
like “New 2016 Government
Benefit Update for Minnesota
Citizens,” “IMPORTANT
LETTER OF NOTIFICATION” or “Medicare Open
Enrollment Qualification Request Card.”
One mailing pressures seniors to return the card to see if
they qualify for a “Final Expense Insurance Program”
that may pay 100% of final
expenses or as much as
$25,000.
Another mailing asks seniors to provide their personal
information to see if they
qualify for a “NEW state-regulated” life insurance program that would pay up to
$50,000. The mailing also
claims that by returning the
card, people may receive a
no-cost dental, vision, and
hearing discount plan.
They ask you to fill out a
postage-paid card with your
name and date of birth and
promise to provide free information about the “benefits
available to you.”
Lead generators want you
to hand over your personal
information before you have
time to think about it. The
mailings usually ask you to
act quickly. One states that
your request for information
won’t be processed if it is re-
ceived later than 15 days.
You Should Know...
The Minnesota Department
of Commerce regulates the
insurance industry. When a
mailing uses a phrase like
“state-regulated,” it may be
trying to sound more official
or like it is notifying you
about a new government benefits program. In reality, all
insurance companies are regulated by the state, so a
“state-regulated” plan is nothing new or special.
What can you do?
Contact local folks first. If
you think you need the benefits that these mailings mention, don’t send your personal
information to someone you
don’t know in order to get
more information. Contact
your local insurance agent or
chat with a friend or family
member about possible options.
Throw the mailing away.
You don’t have to disclose
your personal information to
receive information about insurance options. Personal in-
formation is only necessary
to get an insurance quote or
to apply for coverage.
Check your existing insurance coverage. Lead generators try to scare you and
make you think that you may
not have enough money to
pay your final expenses or
that Medicare won’t pay your
medical bills. A lot of people

linden trees can attract pollinators. Sturdy, long-lived
trees such as oak, walnut or
hackberry can add beauty and
increase property values.
“I recommend planting a
variety of different tree
species to add diversity to
your property, which will
make it more resistant to tree
pests and climate change,”
said Jennifer Teegarden,
DNR forestry outreach specialist. “Some trees, like
green ash, aren’t recommended at all because of their susceptibility to the tree-killing
emerald ash borer beetle.”
Teegarden reminds homeowners that if they plan on
digging, they should first call
Gopher State One Call at 811.
Someone will be dispatched
to mark underground utility
lines. It’s also important to
not plant trees under power
lines or right next to building
foundations.
Caring for trees extends beyond simply planting them.
Place two to four inches of
mulch around the base of the
tree, making sure to keep
mulch away from the trunk to
avoid rot. Also, new trees
need a good soaking of water
every week in the summer
and fall for a few years after
planting.
Be sure to plant your tree

Spring is a great time to plant trees, according to DNR
With the warm weather, the
Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources reminds
homeowners and forest
landowners that spring is an
excellent time to plant trees.
There are many good reasons
to plant trees.
Deciduous trees—those
that shed their leaves in the
winter—can help save money
on summer cooling bills, if
planted on the south or west
sides of buildings. Planting
conifers on a building’s north
side can help block energysucking winter winds. Fruitand nut-bearing trees can provide homes and food for hungry wildlife. Basswood and

earnest in March. Every student is expected to learn each
of the songs. At the same
time, students began learning
their lines and marks as tdbarna directed the show, with
teachers leading a majority of
the rehearsals.
School Director Brandy
Barrett is proud of the Elders
program. “It’s a unique way
to give back to the community, honor those who have
paved the way, and for the
children to learn about history and culture first hand. It is
sheer joy to witness the intergenerational bonds forming.”
The one-night-only performance is free to the public.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the

Dim the lights. Cue the
music. It’s show time! Two
southern Minnesota artists
will come together to help
create Minnesota’s only Elders Celebration hosted annually by elementary students
from Green Isle Community
School at 7 p.m. Thursday,
May 26.
As it has done every year
since 2005, Green Isle Community School selects a noteworthy elder to honor with a
night of original musicals
based on his life and performed by the students before
a packed house.
The creative process began
in December during an oral
history presentation made by
this year ’s selected elder,
Judge Thomas G. McCarthy.
Based on those presentations,
Tara Jungclaus (composer),
and tdbarna (lyricist & playwright) together forged a 60minute musical.

County Museum to open on Memorial Day
The annual, traditional and
season opening of the Sibley
County Historical Museum
follows Henderson’s Memorial Day services, according
to Curator Sharon Haggenmiller.
Volunteer guides have been
on hand for this event since
1949 or 67 years. Why Memorial Day? Members of the
Sibley County Historical Society (SCHS) had been considering the idea of purchasing a building to become the
permanent home for all of the
artifacts collected since the
Society began in 1940. After
looking at several sites, the
former A.F. Poehler house
came up for sale. It was a
perfect investment for SCHS
to be able to purchase the
house where its President August L. Poehler spent his
childhood. With the help of
several area organizations,
members were able to open
the doors to a museum on
Memorial Day in 1949.
This year, the Society is
eager to host a special Memorial Day event on Monday,
May 30. Two of its donated
organs from the late 1800s
have been refurbished recently by Myron Lindemann,
Redwood Falls. He has been
invited to demonstrate the results of his handiwork and his
musical talent for our visitors.
He will also give a bit of history about each of the organs.
His schedule will be 2:15
p.m., 2:45 p.m., 3:15 p.m.
and 3:45 p.m. This will give
people the opportunity to attend a Memorial Service in
their respective communities,
then take a drive over to Henderson and stop by the Sibley
County Historical Museum to
hear strains of beautiful organ
music from these century old
instruments.
Volunteer guides will also
be on hand to show new displays of tools and arrowheads
once used by Native Americans who inhabited the area,
military items including a
parachute, and artifacts from
area churches. Everyone is
invited. Refreshments will be
served.
The Sibley County Historical Museum is located at the
west edge of Henderson
along State Highway 19.
This is a huge brick house
built in 1884 with three floors
of displayed artifacts from
the late 1800s to the early
1900s all donated by Sibley
County families. A small log
cabin (1858) is also located
on the grounds. It was
moved there in 1960 and
shows a contrast of lifestyles
from pioneer days.
