Sibley County Board votes 4-1 to replace the sheriff’s office pickup By Amy Newsom Correspondent The Sibley County Board, at its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday morning, Aug. 9, voted 4-1 to approve the sheriff’s office purchase of a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD Crew Cab from Brau Motors, Arlington, for $35,866.78. The Brau Motors bid came in slightly lower than the second bid of $35,892.78 from Matt Saxe Chevrolet, Belle Plaine. County Commissioner Gary Kruggel questioned why a pickup versus an Explorer. Kruggel asked if it was “imperative that we have two pickups.” Chief Deputy Pat Nienaber explained that a pickup is more versatile than a sport utility vehicle. Nienaber explained that this pickup would just replace another pickup driven by Sheriff Bruce Ponath. The one that Ponath is currently driving is a 2012 with more than 100,000 miles. County Commissioners Bobbie Harder and Joy Cohrs questioned exactly how many miles were on the 2012 pickup. Nienaber thought about 130,000 miles but wasn’t sure. Harder also questioned what it would cost to fix the current pickup. Ponath had emailed her that the current truck is using a lot of oil, but she questioned if it would be possible to fix it. Nienaber stated that with “over 100,000 miles at some point you have to weigh fixing.” Harder voted against purchasing the new pickup because she just felt that she did not have enough information on the mileage and the cost to repair the 2012 pickup. Harder questioned if the 2012 pickup could be fixed and used by another county department. Sibley County Administrator Roxy Traxler will look into the costs to repair the pickup and if the pickup could be used by other departments. Final Payment The County Board approved the final payment of $160,231.83 to Asphalt Services Technologies Corporation, St. Cloud, for the 2016 crack filling and seal coat project. Public Works Director Tim Becker stated that the project was completed about a month ago and came in about $27,000 under budget. Commissioner Bobbie Harder questioned why it was under budget. Becker stated that there was a difference between the estimated amount of materials used and the actual amount used. Becker stated that the extra money stays in the Public Works budget to be used for something else because sometimes projects come in over budget. cumbent City Council member Brian Oelfke also filed. The terms of Mayor Dale ZumBerge, City Council member Mark Wentzlaff and Oelfke will expire at the end of this year. The terms for these three positions are for four years each. Sibley East Five candidates have now filed for the three open positons on the Sibley East School Board. Incumbent Nathan Kranz filed earlier this week. The four candidates, who filed last week, are incumbent Brian Brandt and challengers Michael Christeson, Jonathan Hazelwood and Avery Grochow. The terms of School Board members Brian Brandt, Nathan Kranz and Missy Weber will all expire at the end of the year. The terms for these three open positions are for four years each. Vicki Stock to retire in January of 2017 By Amy Newsom Correspondent Public Health and Human Services Director Vicki Stock submitted her resignation letter to the Sibley County Board at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9. Stock will retire on Jan. 27, 2017. In her resignation letter, Stock stated that she has worked for Sibley County for 39 years. She said that she “is excited to begin the next phase of my life but at the same time I am sad to see my working career end. I hope I am leaving a legacy of having made a difference in some small way.” County Administrator Roxy Traxler stated that she would like to start the hiring process now so that someone can be in place for crossover training before Stock retires. County Commissioner Bill Pinske asked if the county would have to hire a firm like Springsted to help with the hiring process. Traxler stated that the county would be able to do it. County Commissioner Joy Cohrs asked if there was someone in that department that would be able to move up. Traxler stated “maybe, but it will be an open recruitment.” Anyone in the department will have the option to apply. The County Board unanimously voted to allow Traxler to begin the recruitment process with an employee start date of Dec. 1, or sooner to make the start date overlap with Stock’s time left as director. Trailer Purchase The County Board unanimously approved allowing Public Works Director Tim Becker to purchase a T-50LP (low profile) trailer from Farm-Rite Equipment in Dassel. Becker stated that the new trailer would replace the existing lowboy trailer which needs to be pulled by a semi. Public Works will get rid of three pieces of equipment in exchange for the purchase of one new trailer that can be pulled by 11 pieces of equipment they already have. Public Works will auction off its lowboy trailer, tanker trailer, and Ford LTS 9000 semi. Becker received quotes for a new trailer from Farm-Rite and John Deere. John Deere, North Mankato, provided a quote of $32,725.08, while Farm-Rite’s quote was $31,254.54. Resurfacing The County Board awarded the contract for the County State Aid Highway 8 resurfacing project to William Mueller & Sons, Hamburg. Public Works Director Tim Becker received four bids for the cold-in-place recycle project on County State Aid Highway 8 from three-quarter of a mile east of County State Aid Highway 23 to Highway 22. William Mueller & Sons had the low bid of $568,497.85 which was 10.6 percent under the engineer ’s estimate. The County Board asked to do this project in place of the County Road 160 project. Individual still sought in vehicle pursuit which ended south of Gaylord An individual who was involved in a vehicle pursuit over the weekend is still on the loose, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department. Officers from the Belle Plaine Police Department began a vehicle pursuit which traveled southbound on Highway 169 around midnight Sunday, Aug. 7, according to the report. The pursuit eventually continued onto Sibley County Road 8. At this time, deputies with the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department took over the pursuit. The pursuit ended after the driver stopped on County Road 8 near County Road 13 in Sibley Township approximately five miles south of Gaylord, the report said. The pursuit went about 11 miles in Sibley County. The driver of the vehicle fled on foot into a cornfield. A passenger in the vehicle was taken into custody. Over one half pound of methamphetamine was located in the vehicle along with cash and counterfeit currency. The driver was not immediately located. A passenger, Oscar Garcia, Jr., 53, Mankato, was arrested and charged with first degree possession of a controlled substance. On Monday, Aug. 8, Garcia, Jr. made an appearance in the Sibley County District Court. His bail was set at $50,000 cash and/or $400,000 bond. A complaint warrant was later filed against the alleged driver, Jacquleine Rodriguez, 22, Gaylord. She was charged with first degree possession of a controlled substance and fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.

SE exceeded state average in 9 of 23 areas for the annual MCA test By Kurt Menk Editor The Minnesota Department of Education recently released the results of the math, reading and science tests taken by public school students across the state this spring. For the second consecutive year, there were only nominal changes in the number of Minnesota students scoring at or above a level considered proficient on the tests that measure students’ knowledge of state standards. “It’s disappointing to see the slow pace of progress,” Minnesota State Department of Education Director Brenda Cassellius said in a statement. “Closing achievement gaps is possible, but I am increasingly convinced that we cannot do it alone.” The MCA results included test scores from Sibley East third through eighth-graders in both math and reading, with juniors also tested in math and sophomores in reading. Sci- ence tests were only scored in fifth and eighth grades, as well as high school students. Students at the Sibley East Public Schools exceeded the state average in nine of 23 areas. At the Sibley East Elementary School in Gaylord, students exceeded the state average in one of nine areas. Sixth grade students were 66.7 percent proficient in reading compared to the state average of 62.3 percent. Third grade students were very close with 66 percent proficient in math compared to the state average of 69.3. Among the 357 students enrolled at the school, 43 percent are minorities and 52 percent are in poverty. At the Sibley East Elementary School in Arlington, students exceeded the state average in three of seven areas. Fifth grade students were 59.1 percent proficient in math compared to the state average of 58.8 percent. Fall L eagues NOW FORMING!

Gaylord bank teller charged with felony theft A Gaylord bank teller allegedly stole money from customers and her employer, according to the Mankato Free Press. Yolanda Catarina Cardenas, 24, Glencoe, was charged with felony theft on Thursday, Aug. 4. The Gaylord Police Department was called to the First National Bank in Gaylord in June by the bank’s manager who suspected Cardenas was stealing cash. After Cardenas was reportedly seen taking $30 from the vault, her boss found more than $1,700 was missing from her cash drawer, according to the criminal complaint. Cardenas resigned soon after the missing funds were realized. Further investigation found two instances in which Cardenas is suspected of keeping a portion of customers’ deposits for herself. The amount totaled $300, according to the criminal complaint. Cardenas also reportedly made a $900 deposit into her personal account without having another employee verify the deposit was legitimate, as required by company policy. Cardenas reportedly denied the alleged thefts, but acknowledged only she had access to her cash drawer and could not provide an explanation of what happened to the missing cash.

While most people follow the laws when placing these signs, other individuals have abused these regulations in past years. Some signs have been placed on a corner by a stop sign or a foot away from a public road. The laws and regulations for placing a sign are simple for property owners, homeowners and candidates. Candidates must first have the permission or consent of a property owner before the placement of a sign. Campaign and political signs are not permitted on city property or within the city right-of-way or utility easements. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) also prohibits the placement of signs within its right-of-way. A general rule of thumb is that if a property has a sidewalk, the sign should be placed on the house/business side of the sidewalk. Signs are to be placed a minimum of five feet from a property line except for those properties within the Central Business District. Signs should also not obstruct sight lines for traffic and should not obstruct an access to any building.

Afterwards the wife’s mother asked her how it went. “Oh, it was terrible,” the daughter replied. “Everything went wrong. We overslept, and then we got a flat tire, and the worst part was that I caught more fish than he did!” ***** When the lodge meeting broke up, John confided to a friend. “Mike, I’m in a terrible pickle! I’m strapped for cash and I haven’t the slightest idea where I’m going to get it from!” “I’m glad to hear that,” answered Mike. “I was afraid you might have an idea you could borrow it from me!” ***** A doctor remarked on his patient’s ruddy complexion. “I know” the patient said. “It’s high blood pressure. It’s from my family.” “Your mother’s side or father’s side?” questioned the doctor. “Neither, my wife’s,” the patient replied. “What?” the doctor said. “That can’t be. How can you get it from your wife’s family?” “Oh yeah,” the patient responded, “You should meet them sometime!” ***** An employee approached his boss regarding a dispute on his paycheck. Employee: “Sir, this is $100 less than my salary.” Boss: “I know. But last month, when you were overpaid $100 by mistake, you didn’t complain!” Employee: “Well, I don’t mind an occasional mistake, sir, but it seems to be becoming a habit, now!” ***** A presser in a tailor shop arrived one morning wearing a good sized diamond ring. One of the tailors noticed the sparkler and asked about it. “My mother-in-law gave me a thousand dollars before she passed away. She said that when she dies, I should buy a beautiful stone. So I did!” ***** Wife : “You hate my relatives!” Husband: “No, I don’t! In fact, I like your mother-in-law more than I like mine.” Arlington ENTERPRISE Established in 1884.

Letters To The Editor Being gay is not a sin either To The Editor, This letter is not a response to Representative Gruenhagen. Instead, I want to write this letter to my younger self. I want to remind myself of the little boy who grew up on a farm and in a small town where all the earliest people he loved had dirt under their fingernails and flour on the front of their aprons. The little boy who always knew he was different. The boy who learned to fear who he really was when he heard sermons and well-meaning Christians denounce “the lifestyle” some had chosen or had been tricked into. The boy didn’t want to be tricked! So he grew into a young man who believed as exactly as Glenn Gruenhagen does now. He learned all the arguments. And he also lived the pain. In fact, this young man became a victim of the very therapy that Glenn would prescribe for everyone like him. He would learn that it’s not a therapy based on love or science; it’s based on self-hate and ideology. It’s abuse. Fortunately, that young man grew to acknowledge his true self, not in spite of his faith, but because of it. He learned the hardest lesson for some people to learn: that your sexual orientation is not simply a behavior; it is part of your very identity. Stealing, addictions, pedophilia, adultery are all behaviors and sinful actions. Both straight and gay people can fall prey to such sin. But being straight is not a sin. Being gay is not a sin, either. That little boy eventually would grow and learn this. Fortunately, there are many people and churches that have come to know this as well. If this little boy reminds you of yourself or someone you love, please know this: LGBTQ people are not sick. They do not need to be “treated” or “fixed.” They are whole and beautiful and worthy of love. They are part of the wondrous variety in creation in which God takes delight. They bring unique and varied gifts to our communities, nation and world. And...despite any politician’s personal objections...they are due equal protection under the laws of this land. Glenn claims to know the truth, and can even pull out a book written by someon connected to a religious fringe group that disguises itself as an actual scientific organization. But Glenn’s objections to homosexuality fly in the face of actual science and the professional positions of all these groups: the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Amercan Academy of Pediatrics, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, American College of Physicians, American Counseling Associaton, American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychoanalytic Association, American Psychological Association, American School Counselor Association, American School Health Association, National Association of Social Workers, World Health Organization, and the National Association of School Psychologists. So to that little boy and others like him, I say: don’t pay attention to objections based on false science and prejudice. Pay attention to the God who claims you as a child of His own making. Pay attention to the Christ who died to heal the world’s hate. Pay attention to the Spirit who has a hold of you, and will never let you go. Rev. Scott Richards Gaylord Questions about alcohol in city parks To The Editor, In regarding the changes being proposed at the city parks: My questions being who carries the liability insurance in case someone gets hurt and someone gets sued? Does the person renting the park carry that under their homeowner’s or are the residents in Arlington open to be sued through the city? The next question being how are you ever going to control minors drinking? As a business in Arlington, we pay thousands of dollars a year for a liquor license and liability insurance. Denise Swenson Arlington Haus Guest Column Olympics, Trump and number one American success rule By Glenn Mollette The Olympics are big news these days. We are excited to see how many medals Michael Phelps and all the athletes bring home. From Soccer to swimming to basketball and so much more this is such a great world event. Hopefully for a couple of weeks Americans can rally behind our athletes and experience unity and national pride. The teams who do well in Rio de Janeiro will be the teams who are in unity. Unity means working together, helping each other, speaking well of each other and to each other. This means a good spirit, a good attitude and relaying manners and congeniality. This is the kind of stuff that helps teams win. Division and animosity divide and defeat. The latter is what we see so much in America. Democrats have had their share with emails, controversies and the many who have supported Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton. The Republican Party is taking the cake this year in division.

If Trump loses the election, which polls are indicative, it will be because of the Republicans who just simply will not find a way to embrace and help others. Even the Bible teaches us that a divided house cannot stand. Division has always existed as a part of life. This is certainly one reason we have two major political parties and other parties such as The Libertarians and others. We are divided and have different ideas. Counties divide over issues, as do states. We divide on healthcare, guns, military, welfare and much more. We divide on religion. There is too much resentment, finger pointing and hate in religious groups today. However, the churches and groups who have embraced love and unity are doing very well. Division ends multiple marriages today. People find it easier than ever to walk away from marriage. Many people will go through two or three marriages and more before life is over.

Many never financially recoup one divorce and then to add other divorces seldom spells lasting financial security. However, of course it’s better to divorce than to destruct. Why can’t we all just work it out and get along? We cringe when we see sports teams hassling among themselves unable to play together and win. We cringe when we see Trump, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney and these big boys act like babies. Please get over it and grow up. Pull together, play as a team and at least make your party proud. There is one key rule to any success in America - unity. Enough people have to pull together to make victory happen. When enough people get on the same team, pulling in the same direction success and victory will happen. Glenn Mollette is an American syndicated columnist, speaker and author.

Buck, Editor SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT The fly population of the United States, at the last census taken in June 1910, was exactly, 167,457,165,167,165,654. The intense heat of last week culminated Sunday with a record of 97, since then it has been somewhat cooler. One of the worst looking storm clouds ever seen here approached from the northwest early Thursday morning. It looked very threatening for a time and many thought a cyclone or tornado was due, but it proved nothing more serious than a heavy wind accompanied by rain and a little hail. Some grain and corn were badly lodged in some localities while others nearby it was hardly touched. Mueller Bros. of Gaylord, who are drilling the new well at the power house, are down over 100 feet and progressing nicely. It is a six inch well and when completed will give the city all the water it needs. 75 Years Ago August 7, 1941 Louis Kill, Editor The heaviest windstorm of the season struck this section early Monday morning, doing considerable damage to the corn crop, much of which was sheared of its leaves and some broken down. Trees were broken and stripped of their foliage and small buildings demolished. A wood stave silo on the Herman Meffert farm south of Arlington was blown down, and the top was blown off the silo on the Martin Mueller farm. A hog barn for exhibition purposes at the Sibley County fair grounds was completely wrecked. While it rained here quite heavily during the storm, other localities were hard hit by hail. It is reported that the corn crop on some farms north of Green Isle and Hamburg were ruined entirely. 55 Years Ago August 10, 1961 Louis H. Kill, Editor On Friday morning during his weekly news conference Governor Andersen introduced Arlington’s William P. Scott to the newsmen and announced that Scott was his selection to fill the post of State Public Examiner, effective September 1. The 32year-old Scott succeeds Raymond B. Vecillio, St. Paul in the $12,000 a year post. The Public Examiner is the post-auditor of public accounts for State, county and municipal governments. Scott is appointed to a six-year term and the appointment must be confirmed by the Senate.

The Sunset Drive-Inn in Arlington was opened Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Hillard Alsleben as the new owners. 35 Years Ago August 5, 1981 Val Kill, Editor The 1981 Sibley County Fair lived up to its slogan--bigger and better. According to fair board secretary John Paulmann, a total of 12,861 people attended the fair over the four days. That was 906 more than last year when the gate totaled 11,995. Mud wrestling, seen in Arlington for the first time ever at the 1981 Sibley County Fair, drew 1,402 people. Arson charges were brought against two Gibbon men for setting a fire which destroyed a barn owned by George Eckert in Gibbon. Sibley County Attorney Thomas McCarthy stated that James Loren Stark, 19, and Kevin Halvorson, 18, were charged with entering the barn and setting fire in separate piles of straw. These fires then spread to destroy the building. Violet Brockhoff, age 93, of Arlington, went to meet her Lord on Tuesday, Aug. 2.

Minnesota’s regular waterfowl season will open on Saturday, Sept. 24, with similar bag limits and season dates that were in place last year, according to the Department of Natural Resources. “All signs point to this being a great year for duck and goose hunting,” said Steve Cordts, DNR waterfowl specialist. “Many hunters look forward to the duck hunting opener all year. It’s a time to get into the marsh and spend time with family and friends.” Duck Seasons & Limits Duck season will again be open for 60 days in each of the three waterfowl zones. In the north zone, duck season is Saturday, Sept. 24, through Tuesday, Nov. 22. In the central zone, duck season is Saturday, Sept. 24, through Sunday, Oct. 2, closes for five days, then reopens Saturday, Oct. 8, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 27. In the south zone, duck season is Saturday, Sept. 24, through Sunday, Oct. 2, closes for 12 days, then reopens Saturday, Oct. 15, and runs through Sunday, Dec. 4. The daily bag limits for ducks remains at six per day and individual species limits are identical to those used last fall. Canada Goose Seasons & Limits Canada goose hunters will see some changes compared to last year. There is no August Canada goose management action in Minnesota. In the Intensive Harvest Zone during the September goose hunt, the bag limit is now five per day, the same as the rest of the state. Previously, the bag limit was 10 per day. “We made these changes for a few reasons. The Canada goose population in the state is near our goal and Canada goose harvest did not increase the past three years even when additional harvest opportunities were offered,” Cordts said. The early September Canada goose season will open statewide on Saturday, Sept. 3, and run through Sunday, Sept. 18. Bag limits for Canada geese are five per day statewide. A $4 permit is required to hunt Canada geese during the September season. The restriction prohibiting hunting within 100 yards of surface water remains in effect in the northwest goose zone, Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area, Ocheda Lake Game Refuge and an area surrounding Swan Lake in Nicollet County. Early season goose hunters should consult the 2016 Waterfowl Supplement for zone maps and additional details. Minnesota’s regular goose season will open in conjunction with the duck season statewide on Sept. 24, with a bag limit of three dark geese per day the entire season. “Dark” geese include Canada geese, white-fronted geese and brant. Goose season will be closed in the central and south duck zones when duck season is closed. Other Seasons Youth Waterfowl Day will be Saturday Sept. 10. The season for sandhill cranes runs Sept. 10 to Sunday, Oct. 16, in the northwest goose and sandhill crane zone only.

A31-33Ea Marilee Peterson Sibley County Auditor Sibley County, Minnesota Find us online at www.arlingtonmnnews.com Arlington Enterprise, Thursday, August 11, 2016, page 8 www.arlingtonmnnews.com A trial was avoided and a settlement was reached in the case of Joshua J. Krueger, now age 22, who was involved in the fatal car crash that claimed the life of Brendan Kroehler on the Henderson Hill on Sept. 27, 2014, according to an article in the Le Sueur News Herald. Krueger, who was facing three felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide, agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of criminal vehicular homicide with a stay of adjudication should he successfully complete the terms of probation. Two felony counts, two gross misdemeanor and two misdemeanor charges were dismissed by the court. Krueger was sentenced to 90 days in jail with less time for time served, work release, and Sentence to Serve options. Among the 21 conditions of probation, Krueger must attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victim impact panel, abstain from the use of alcohol and drugs, remain law abiding, and complete a chemical dependency evaluation and possible treatment. In addition, Krueger was sentenced to 40 hours of Sentence To Serve for each year he would remain on probation. Earlier in the case, state investigators had determined that Krueger’s 1999 Dodge Avenger was traveling at least 75 miles per hour east down the Highway 19 hill west of Henderson when it attempted to pass another vehicle, lost control and careened into the left ditch. Both Krueger and Kroehler, a graduate of the Le Sueur-Henderson High School, were ejected from the vehicle, as neither wore seat belts. Krueger told investigators immediately after the crash he was not certain who was driving the vehicle. Later, he also estimated he had consumed 16 beers and three shots of liquor earlier the day of the accident. The lengthy and complex accident reconstruction and investigation prompted some delays in the court case. An initial settlement conference was held Feb. 18, but no final agreement was reached, so the case was scheduled for a jury trial March 29. Buffer meetings set in Sibley County In 2015, the State Legislature passed what is known as the Buffer Law. This law establishes buffer widths for public waters and public ditches. Sibley Soil and Water Conservation District will be hosting three meetings to help understand this law and to give the public a chance to have landowner questions answered. The meetings will have a short presentation about the buffer law, followed by one on one time to look at a buffer map of everyone’s property. The compliance dates are fast approaching so people are encouraged to attend one of the following three meetings. The first meeting will be held in the Sibley County Courthouse Annex Basement, 400 Court Avenue, in Gay- lord on 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30. The second meeting will be held at the Green Isle City Hall, 310 McGrann Street, in Green Isle at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31. The third meeting will be held at the Gibbon Community Center, 985 First Avenue, in Gibbon at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1. Five steps to conserving water in your garden From container plantings to lawns and gardens, the University of Minnesota Extension horticulture team is focusing on ways to help people use water wisely. Extension horticulture educators Robin Trott and Julie Weisenhorn offer five easy steps to conserve water in your yard and garden. 1. Water thoroughly after planting, then once or twice a week. Apply enough water to wet the soil to a depth of 12 to 18 inches for trees and shrubs or 6 to 8 inches for annuals. If you're not sure how much water this is, do this easy test. Water your garden, wait an hour or so to allow the water to sink in, then dig a 1-foot hole. The soil at the bottom of the hole should be moist, but not sopping. 2. Water gardens in the morning and containers in the afternoon. Research shows that containers watered after noon outperformed plants that were watered in the early morning. The optimal watering time for the rest of the garden is early morning before the temperatures start to rise. Avoid evening watering; this can lead to fungal growth. 3. Mulch, mulch, mulch. Up to 70 percent of water can evaporate from the soil on a hot day. Mulch is one of the best moisture holding tools available. Use coarse mulch at a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Rock mulch might look pretty, but rocks can heat up the soil in full sun. 4. Select plants that are drought tolerant. Many of these plants require less water throughout the season. Foliage color is a good way to tell if a plant tolerates dry weather. Plants with silvery foliage, such as many herbs, are almost always drought tolerant. Examples include Artemisia, catmint and Perovskia (Russian sage). Other drought tolerant-flowering perennials include black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia, butterfly weed, Asclepias and obedient plant, Physostegia. More on drought-tolerant plants is available here (z.umn.edu/179c). 5. Increase organic matter in your soil. Organic matter absorbs many times its own weight in water, which is then available for plant growth. One of the easiest ways to build organic matter is to add compost that breaks down to humus. This has an amazing potential to hold moisture, nutrients and build soil health. It has a buffering effect against drought and plant stresses too. Learn more about conserving water in your yard and garden at z.umn.edu/waterwisely.

A fire Nov. 18, 2015, dur- ing the lunch rush started in the ventilation system and destroyed the upstairs apartment. Water and smoke damage caused the entire building to be declared a total loss. Johanson said while watching the historic building come down, there is anticipation that she and her husband hope to break ground on a new Crow Bar in the next six weeks with an opening date of the New Year 2017. On Tuesday evening, former employees, regulars and Courtland residents gathered around the building to reminisce and have a final drink in the Old Crow Bar.
