Brau Motors to celebrate renovation project with open house
Arlington ENTERPRISE Serving the Communities of Arlington and Green Isle, Minnesota Single copy $1.00 Volume 131 • Number 45 • Thursday, May 28, 2015 • Arlington, MN 55307 www.arlingtonmnnews.com County authorizes the funding for watershed 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 Enterprise photos by Kurt Menk 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.

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.

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. History 100 Years Ago May 27, 1915 Buck & Didra Publishers Frenzel’s pond, which was swelled by the recent heavy rains, is now being used for boating. Martin Wieman sold his 85acre farm, the old McDonald place in Jessenland, last week to Fred Brieshoff of Hamburg for $85 per acre. The contract for the new Lutheran church in Arlington township was awarded Monday to Chas. Guetschoff of Gaylord for $8,008. This includes the construction and material but does not include the heating plant, furnishings or altar which will cost several thousands additional. Last Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Bandelin occurred the christening of their baby, Rev. Fritze officiating. The name given was Earl George Willis. Alice Bandelin and Cora Breitkreutz served as sponsors. 75 Years Ago May 30, 1940 Louis Kill, Editor At St. Paul’s Lutheran church in this city last Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock occurred the marriage of Miss Verna Dittmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dittmer of Kelso, and Mr. Earl Ruehling. Rev. T. Heidmann performed the ceremony in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. A turtle fry will be held at Timm’s Tavern, Arlington, Saturday, June 1.

Walter Wiemann, who submitted to a tonsil operation recently, suffered a setback last week Wednesday which necessitated a quick trip to a doctor’s office. Walter was feeling quite well a week after the tonsilectomy and undertook some heavy lifting on the farm, which brought on a severe hemorrhage. 45 Years Ago May 28, 1970 Val G. Kill, Editor The announcement was made this week that Head Start sessions will be held at the Arlington Public School beginning Monday, June 8 and continue until July 17th. A 38 by 80 foot barn and two silos on the Roy Freudenthal farm, 2 1/2 miles northeast of Green Isle, were destroyed by fire on Wednesday night May 20. The barn could not be saved. It burned to the ground along with a 24 by 60 foot silo and a 12 by 36 foot silo. One hundred five seniors will receive their diplomas at the 75th annual commencement exercises at Arlington-Green Isle High School here Wednesday evening, June 3rd.

Dave Nieland made honorable mention. 15 Years Ago May 25, 2000 Kurt Menk, Editor 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. The Arlington Historic Restoration and Preservation Committee has been incorporated and renamed the Arlington Historical Society, Inc. The society is working on the next step which is to achieve its tax exempt status. Members of the society continue to work on the plans for the restoration of the old Arlington Fire Hall. Historical Society members include Curt Boeder, Dwight Grabitski, Greg Goblirsh, Pauline Wieman and Mike Spannaus. Les Trimbo is set to retire as the Green Isle Rural Route 1 mail carrier.

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 en House Op 90 Birthday for th Marion Woehler SHOP LOCAL y our area businesse s apprecia te it when you do! 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. Celebrating 80 years...

Sibley East to graduate 89 seniors on Sunday Memorial Day in Green Isle (Top Photo) The Green Isle Honor Guard stood at attention during the playing of the National Anthem at the Memorial Day program on late Monday morning, May 25. (Left Photo) Green Isle American Legion Commander Ken Rand introduced the guest speaker who was Sibley County Veterans Service Officer Lisa Klenk. The Sibley East Band, under the direction of James Callahan, played patriotic music throughout the Memorial Day program. Eighty-nine seniors will graduate during commencement exercises at the Sibley East Senior High School in Arlington at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 31. Elizabeth Thies and Brandon Raghu will be the senior speakers, according to Senior High Principal Tim Schellhammer. Immediately following the exercises, the graduates will receive families, relatives and friends on the sidewalk by the front entrance of the school. In case of inclement weather, the receiving line will be held in the hall in VETERINARIAN RG OVREBO DVM LLC • 5” Seamless Gutters • 6” Seamless Gutters • K-Guard Leaf-Free Gutter System MESENBRING CONSTRUCTION (507) 964-2864 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. “Your local home builder and remodeler for over 38 years” Member: MN River Builders Assn.

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.

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. -K.M.

One has 12 monkeys and another has 12 dogs. There’s no air in the room and it’s terrible! You’ve go to do something.” “Have you got windows?” asked the health department worker. “Yes,” replied the man. “Why don’t you open them? asked the health department worker. “And lose all my pigeons?” replied the man. ***** “Two elderly ladies were sitting on a porch rocking back and forth in rocking chairs. “Sally,” said the other lady, “do you ever think about the hereafter?” “All the time,” Sally responded. “I go into a room and look around and say, ‘Now what was it I came in here after.’” ***** When a woman in the office became engaged, a colleague offered her some advice. “The first 10 years are the hardest.” she said. “How long have you been married?” the first woman asked. “Ten years,” the second woman replied. ***** People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be.

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. Wayne Kube Jr. Arlington 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.

Letter Continued from page 4 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. Mary Menne Henderson 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.
