Options have saved Sibley East
money at Arlington school site
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Abby Hammes of Wendell
Architects presented the Sibley East School Board with
some cost saving options
from the engineers for the Arlington school site during the
regular monthly meeting on
Monday night, Aug. 15.
They were able to save
$42,249 by changing models
of electronic equipment and
using standard items versus
custom. They will also save
another $6,077 by omitting
certain items.
School Board members
have been assured that these
changes and omissions will
not affect the quality of the
systems in the gym or auditorium.
Gaylord Sign
The School Board unanimously approved allowing
Gaylord Downtown Association President Avery Grochow to install a sign on Sibley East property on the
northern border of the current
Gaylord practice field along
Highway 22.
Grochow said the sign
would be approximately
seven or eight feet high and
14 feet wide with a planter in
front.
The City of Gaylord will be
responsible for liability and
maintenance of the sign.
The Sibley East School
Board will hold its next regular monthly meeting in Arlington at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
Sept. 19.

Sibley East Principals Mari
Lu Martens, Steve Harter and
Tim Schellhammer presented
the results of Sibley East’s
Minnesota Comprehensive
Assessments (MCA) to the
Sibley East School Board during its regular monthly meeting in Arlington on Monday
night, Aug. 15.
Martens reported that reading grades in Gaylord elementary were slightly below
the state average while reading grades in Arlington were
slightly above. Math grades
in Gaylord were about 10
points below the state average
and Arlington’s about two
points below. Gaylord science
scores were well below the
state average, but up 22.9
points from the previous year,
while Arlington’s were above
the state average.
Martens stated that it was
not accurate to compare Sibley East with neighboring or
same size school districts because the Sibley East demographic is very different. Sibley East has a high population
of at-risk students, and it is
more applicable to compare
Sibley East to state averages.
School Board member
Nathan Kranz questioned who
decided which curriculum the
school uses. Martens explained that it was a local decision and that the Sibley East
curriculum is rigorous.
Harter compared Sibley
East test scores to other Minnesota River Conference
Schools. Sibley East math
scores were the lowest of the
group in 2016, but reading
scores were tied for third out
of eight schools. Harter said
three of the home rooms will
be math focused this year, and
another home room will be
reading focused.
Schellhammer reported that
senior high students performed better than 70.6 percent of the state in reading,
73.5 percent of the state in
math, and 86.7 percent of the
State in science. Schellhammer’s goal is to have Sibley
East perform better than 90
percent of the state in all three
areas.
5-1 Vote
The School Board voted 51 to approve the family facilitator agreement between Sibley East and Sibley County.
The facilitator is there to help
at-risk students and their families.
Kranz remarked “that’s
what churches are for” and
voted against approving the
facilitator agreement.
Superintendent Jim Amsden remarked that the facilitator is in place as a preventative stopgap before a crisis
hits.
Medical School
Amsden reported that there
had been no discussions with
medical school representatives or the City of Gaylord
about the bus garage, green
space, or early access to the
elementary playground area.
He stated that Sibley East
was “protective of that space”
until May 2017. Amsden also
stated that any discussion on
those things would have to
come before the School
Board.
Other News
Karen Archer, a resident of
Arlington, addressed the Sibley East School Board and
questioned the role of school
board members. She said that
it might be helpful for people
to know “what is the role and
responsibility of a school
board member?”
In other news, the School
Board announced the date and
location for the annual Truth
in Taxation meeting. The
meeting will be held in Room
149 at the Arlington school
site at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec.
19.
Sibley East School Board receives transportation report
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent
Sibley East Transportation
Director Lanny Woods provided an update to the School
Board during its regular
monthly meeting in Arlington
on Monday night, Aug. 15.
Woods said they have been
busy prepping for the start of
the new school year. They
have been performing mechanical work, body paint, repairing rust issues, and doing
some pre-trip testing. Woods
stated that route information
for new students would be
going out soon. Woods also
said that when school starts
they will take a class list and
pin the bus number of a
young student on to their
backpack so that teachers and
other helpers will easily be
able to identify which bus a
child belongs on and help
them to their bus.
Woods mentioned the banner on the school bus along
Highway 5 to attract new
drivers. He said that it had
garnered some applications.
He stated that they have
enough drivers to get the year
started, but wanted more
drivers that had gone through
the criminal background
check and were ready to
move into a full-time position
when the opportunity comes
up.
Woods also discussed the
inspection report from 2015
when the inspection did not
go well. He said the state
was “looking for things he
didn’t know they were looking for.”
“Things were corrected,
and the inspections have gone
well since then.” Woods said.
“Never were our children unsafe on the roads.”
Some of the things that
failed in 2015 were rear door
buzzer did not work, loose
seat cushion, cracked driver
window, moisture in an upper
glass door, amber rear light
burnt out, rust on body, etc.
In 2015, Sibley East had 10
inspections passed, 11 inspections failed and two temporary stickers.
In 2016, Sibley East had 15
inspections passed, six inspections failed and one temporary sticker.
School Board member
Nathan Kranz said that people were frustrated because
the perception is that there is
a problem. Kranz suggested
looking to sublease transportation.
It was the consensus of the
School Board to have the
transportation report annually.
Sibley East Superintendent
Jim Amsden suggested March
as a month to go over the
state inspection and consider
school bus replacements
when working on the new
budget.
Prayer Request
Kranz made a motion to
have a prayer before each
School Board meeting.
School Board Chairperson
Brian Brandt responded by
saying there would be no sep-
aration of church and state,
and the board cannot do a
prayer before the meeting.
Kranz responded that “they
do allow it at the State Congress.”
Sibley East Attorney Tony
Nerud stated that Kranz’s debate was “not appropriate.”
Brandt went on to say that
the School Board “must remain neutral” and a “prayer
would be inappropriate.”
Kranz’s motion to add
prayer failed for lack of a second.

Semi trailer tips and spills
A semi truck’s trailer somehow detached and tipped,
spilling the sand it was carrying across Highway 169 at
8 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, according to the Henderson
Independent.
The semi was turning onto Highway 169 south from
Highway 93 when the trailer detached, blocking traffic
and sending sand across the road, Gimenez said.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation used a
plow to remove much of the sand and a street sweeper
from Le Sueur cleaned up the rest.
Lottery scam in Winthrop
Over the past week, Winthrop Police Department has
responded to numerous calls from community members
who have received one or several calls from unknown
individuals claiming that they have won a lottery prize
in the form of a vehicle or cash and only need to pay for
the “taxes” to claim their substantial prize, according to
an article in the Winthrop News.
This scam has been widely used in financial fraud
rings throughout the United States and abroad and
scammers usually buy phone lists that are widely available online and target the elderly and/or vulnerable.

Packing School Backpacks
The Salvation Army recently teamed up with area organizations to provide backpacks filled with school supplies for students across Sibley County. The Salvation Army purchased the
backpacks while the Green Isle Lions Club, Arlington Lions
Club and Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative bought the
school supplies. Members of the groups met and filled the
backpacks at the American Lutheran Church in Gaylord on
Political campaign signs not permitted on state highway rights of way
Placement of campaign and
other advertising signage on
any highway rights of way is
not allowed under state law,
reminds the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
All state, county, city and
township roads and highways
fall under the same state law.
Highway rights of way include driving lanes, inside
and outside shoulders, ditches
and sight corners at intersections.
Also, landowner consent is
needed before signs are
placed on private property
outside of the right of way.
MnDOT crews are required
to remove unlawfully placed
signs and impound them at
one of its local maintenance
truck stations.
Violation of the law (Minn.
Stat. 160.27) is a misdemeanor. Civil penalties also
may apply if the placement of
signage contributes to a motor
vehicle crash and injures a
person or damages a motor
vehicle that runs off the road.
The Minnesota Outdoor
e
Now hiring part-tim
bartender
Advertising Control Act
(Minn. Stat. 173.15) also prohibits placing advertising materials on public utility poles,
trees and shrubs, and painting
or drawing on rocks or natural
features.
When improperly placed
signs are removed by
MnDOT, every effort is made
to temporarily store the sign
and notify the owner where
the signs can be retrieved.
For information about the
proper placement of campaign signs or where to re-
trieve signs, contact the local
MnDOT office in Detroit
Lakes at 218-846-3600. See
also www.dot.state.mn.us/
govrel/rw_signs.html.
When placing signs, the
best way to avoid an emergency or unintentionally striking an underground facility is
to call 811 before digging, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Go
to the GSOC website and request that underground utilities be marked near the area
of the digging.
Highway 169 Mankato to St. Peter partial opening is Thursday, Aug. 25
The detour for Highway
169 between Mankato and St.
Peter will be removed around
9 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25,
according to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation.
Highway 169 will carry one
lane of traffic each way in the
outside lanes with a 55 mph
speed limit.
Motorists must use caution
as the inside lanes will be
closed with workers present
and construction vehicles entering and exiting the open
lanes. MnDOT has retained
extra law enforcement and advises motorists to refrain from
gawking to keep traffic moving safely.
Work remaining includes
construction of the concrete
intersection crossings, concrete median, left turn lanes,
high tension guardrail and
raised concrete barrier.
Only the following Highway 169 intersections will
open at this time:
• Hiniker Saw Mill
• Old River Bluff Road
(south end)
• 492nd Street
• 381st Street
• 367th Avenue
• Freeman Drive
• Washington Avenue
Seven Mile County Park remains closed until the completion of the flood mitigation
project in mid-October.
Traffic control on the detour (Highway 99, County
Road 13) will have the temporary signals deactivated and
previous conditions restored:
• Nicollet County Road 13
(Lookout Drive) Howard
Drive intersection – returned
to four-way stop
• Westbound Highway
99/County Road 13 (left turn
lane removed
• Highway 99/County Road
333 (Shepard Road) intersection – returned to two-way

At the regular Sibley County Board meeting on Tuesday morning, Aug. 23, County Commissioner Bill
Pinske made a suggestion that the restructuring committee reexamine the placement of the Veterans Services
Office under Public Health and Human Services.
Pinske stated that veterans are extremely dismayed at
the possible placement of the Veterans Services Office
with Human Services. Pinske recommended that Veterans Services be placed under Administration. Pinske
also wanted to reassure veterans that the county will
“not be taking any services away from them.”
County Commissioner Jim Swanson was in agreement with Pinske and said veterans are adamant that
Veterans Services is not placed under Human Services.
County Commissioners Joy Cohrs and Bobbie Harder
will bring the recommendation to the restructuring committee.
Car fire in horse barn at
Sibley County Fairgrounds
A car fire reportedly occurred in one of the horse

Chief John Zaske.
Levi Allen, owner of the
vehicle, was transported to
the Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center, Arlington, where
he was treated and later released.
The Arlington Police Department and Arlington Area

The Final Ride
The Final Ride for the 10th Raise The Rouf event started at the
Club New Yorker in Green Isle on Saturday morning, Aug. 20.
Despite the rain, approximately 50 to 60 people participated in
The Final Ride, according to Ethan Henke. The ride consisted
of 130 miles and six stops. Overall, the Raise The Rouf event
Heated debates continue
at the Trailblazer meeting
That led to speculation as
to what exactly was laid out
in the letter.
Krueger said he had never
seen the actual letter after it
was drafted by the attorney.
As to the motion to refer
the letter to the attorney,
Krueger said he wanted to
move on.
“I’m not interested in
tabling this any further; I’m
interested in moving forward,” said Krueger.
Sibley County Commissioner Bill Pinske, however,
advised caution. He shared
Shimanski’s concern as to
whether the letter should be
discussed.
“We just hired a labor attorney,” said Pinske. “We
don’t know the legalities of
this, and the lawyer doesn’t
know because she just
walked into it.”
Shimanski said he has reviewed the letter and believes
that Ludwig has complied
with its requirements.
“I’m confident that we’re
complying with the letter of
reprimand,” said Shimanski.
Swanson said he knew that
Shimanski had issues with
the board even issuing a letter
of reprimand.
“I wonder about your impartiality when you didn’t
even want to sign the letter,”
said Swanson.
“But I did sign it,” said
Shimanski.
McLeod County Commissioner Sheldon Nies then
asked that the discussion be
returned to the original motion, as to whether the matter
should be referred to the attorney.
“We have a motion on the
floor, but we’re jumping all
over the place,” said Nies.
At that time, Jack Russek,
who represents Wright Area
County
Transportation
(WCAT) on the joint powers
board, said that his motion
was not in regard to the letter
of reprimand, but in regard to
a letter from an attorney from
WCAT questioning whether
the Joint Powers Board had
violated the open meeting
law and conducted other
business improperly when it
held a closed meeting regarding Ludwig’s job performance.
That motion was then withdrawn because of the confusion over which letter was
under discussion.
Krueger said that issues at
Trailblazer were becoming
more and more difficult to get
a handle on.
“I feel like I’m in quicksand,” said Krueger. “I started out at my ankles and now
I’m up to my chin, and I
don’t like that feeling.”
Swanson said he felt that
changes will not be made at
Trailblazer without a change
in leadership.
“I don’t think anything will
change until we have a different executive director,” said
Swanson. “Just like sometimes you need to change a
coach, we need to make a
change.”
He then made the motion
to terminate Ludwig’s employment. The motion was
seconded by Krueger.
Russek said that Ludwig
has high respect from WCAT.
“Gary gets 100 percent
support from Wright County,” said Russek.
Scott Enter of Buffalo, who
replaced Lynn Kissock as a
WCAT representative (she resigned) said he would like to
see the letter regarding alleged improprieties by the
board addressed before the
motion to terminate Ludwig
was acted upon.
Shimanski then called the
motion to terminate Ludwig
“out of order based on the
WCAT letter.”
The board then debated
whether the motion could be
ruled out of order.
Blaeser said she strongly
urged the board to table the
action, saying her firm should
review the issue.
“I would feel much better
about advising the board in
regard to this issue after
we’ve had time to review it,”
said Blaeser. “I worry about
the position and risk that you
may put yourself in.”
After more discussion,
Swanson and Krueger agreed
to withdraw the motion until
the matter was reviewed by
the law firm.
“But this will come up
again,” said Swanson.

County Chronicle
A motion to immediately
terminate Trailblazer Transit
Director Gary Ludwig’s employment was declared out of
order and ultimately withdrawn at a Joint Powers
Board meeting last Thursday
morning.
The motion was made in
the midst of another long and
messy discussion regarding
Trailblazer’s workplace environment, and whether Ludwig was complying with a
letter of reprimand issued by
the board. The motion to terminate Ludwig was made by
Sibley County Commissioner
Jim Swanson and seconded
by McLeod County Commissioner Doug Krueger.
At the beginning of the
meeting, Krueger asked that
the issue be put on the agenda, saying he would like “to
know specifically” if the conditions outlined in the letter
were being met.
When the topic came up on
the agenda, a motion was
made to have a newly hired
labor attorney review the letter.
“I don’t know why an attorney has to look at it,” said
Swanson. “If there are things
that are being done that can
be reported to the board, we
should be able to hear that.”
McLeod County Commissioner Ron Shimanski, who is
the Joint Powers Board chair,
said the letter was part of a
personnel file, and he wasn’t
sure it could be discussed
publicly.
Sandi Blaeser, an attorney
with Madden Galanter
Hansen, LLP, who the board
hired earlier in the meeting as
its labor law consulting firm,
said she wasn’t familiar
enough with the letter to offer
an opinion.
“I haven’t had the opportunity to review it (the letter) or
the background behind it,”
said Blaeser.
Swanson said the letter was
put together by a Minnesota
Counties Intergovernmental
Trust (MCIT) attorney and
given to the Trailblazer
Board’s executive committee
“to see if it’s what we wanted.”

Friends Care - Hearts Share, Inc.
has raised nearly $150,000 for
families with medical expenses
Our View: Non-profit organization
deserves a big shout out
The Arlington and Green Isle communities are blessed with several organizations that have made a huge difference in the lives of
many people in their respective towns and the surrounding area.
One such organization that sometimes flies under the radar and deserves more praise and recognition is Friends Care - Hearts Share,
Inc. (FCHS).
The non-profit organization, which was organized in 2007, sponsors the annual benefit “Raise The Rouf” each year. The benefit
bears the name of its first recipient, Natalie Roufs, who lost her battle with breast cancer seven years ago this week. The group’s mission statement is very simple. FCHS supports its local community
members coping with overbearing medical expenses due to a lifethreatening illness by providing moral and financial support.
FCHS has provided plenty of moral and financial support for
many individuals and families over the past decade. The group
raised nearly $13,000 during its 10th and final “Raise The Rouf”
benefit in Green Isle last Saturday. Overall, FCHS has raised nearly
$150,000 to assist individuals and families in their time of need during the past decade.
The current board members include Becky Cameron, President;
Afton Kuphal, Vice President; Joan Foley, Treasurer; and Rachel
Gieseke, Secretary. The current key contributors are Sara Hilgers
and Jeanette Steeves.
Individuals who have served on the FCHS Board include Dustin
Matz and Alicia Cameron. Eric Brockoff is a previous key contributor.
In addition, there have been dozens of volunteers, sponsors and
community members who have given their time to make this annual
benefit a huge success over the past 10 years.
The annual “Raise The Rouf” event will no longer take place. The
current FCHS Board will transition out by the end of 2016 and a
new board led by Felicia Brockoff and comprised of community
members and individuals associated with the Car Cruise of Sibley
County will take its place.
Again, a big shout out to the FCHS group and its supporters who
have made a huge difference in the lives of many individuals and
families over the past 10 years.
Good luck to the new group who will have some big shoes to fill,
but plans to carry out the tradition set by Friends Care - Hearts
Share, Inc. in supporting local community members coping with
over-bearing medical expenses due to a life-threatening illness.

“I’ll tell you why,” said Deacon

Minnesota’s economy faces a turning point
By Tom Steward
Center of the American Experiment
Most folks probably don’t realize
it but economists forecast that Minnesota will fail to keep pace with
much of the U.S. in producing new
jobs over the next decade.
Our state is projected to lag the
national average in job creation in
all but three of 22 major occupations
tracked by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic
Development. Moreover, many of
the occupations expected to fall
short have historically been a competitive strength, such as management, business and financial operations, and computer and mathematical occupations.
Job creation is just one of several
concerns highlighted in Center of
the American Experiment’s new report <http://2lffqo2moysixpyb349
z0bj6.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/
wp-content/uploads/2016/08/MNEconomy.pdf> , Minnesota’s Economy: Mediocre Performance Threatens the State’s Future.
A review of the current state economy and leading indicators suggests
that as a state we’re moving in the
wrong direction. In fact, Minnesota’s overall economic performance
has been average, at best, over the
last 15 years, trailing many states in
job creation, income growth and
other metrics. During that period,
Minnesota ranks 30th in per capita
income growth, 34th in growth in
disposable income and 28th among
the states in rate of job creation.
In addition, leading indicators
point to Minnesota’s economy performing below average in the years
ahead, a forecast corroborated by
state agencies cited in the study, including Minnesota Management and
Budget.
An analysis of a broad range of
economic data reviewed in American Experiment’s report shows a declining level of business creation,
entrepreneurship, investment and
job growth in key industries, weakening future growth prospects in the
state.
While Minnesota was once a
leader in the high tech industry, for
example, fewer Minnesotans work
in high-tech jobs today than in 2000.
A review of growth in output, jobs
and income in cities across Minnesota reveals a startling gap when
compared to their counterparts in
bordering states. Not one of Minnesota’s regional centers manages to
break into the top ten list of cities in
surrounding states for greatest
growth in GDP since 2000. Fargo
tops the list which includes two
cities in North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin respectively, along
with four cities in Iowa. Minnesota’s
top performing city, Rochester,
comes in 12th.
Minnesota has historically enjoyed a strong and diverse economy
with a high standard of living. Builtin advantages like educational attainment, family cohesion, healthy
populace and high workforce participation led to a productive and prosperous economy.
But Minnesota has been losing
ground and needs to address its fiscal and regulatory policies, before
falling further behind other cities
and states. There’s no escaping the
reality that Bismarck, Cedar Rapids,
Dubuque and Sioux Falls are growing faster economically than
Rochester, Mankato, St. Cloud and
Duluth.
Without a doubt Minnesota’s
higher tax and regulatory burdens
increase the cost of starting, operating and expanding a business.
Yet manufacturing, a bright spot,
may point the way to a more competitive future. Although several
factors contribute to Minnesota’s
edge in manufacturing, one stands
out. Minnesota imposes one of the
lowest tax burdens in the country on
certain manufacturers, a key competitive advantage that underscores
the promise of reforming our state
tax policy.

the American Experiment.
Stereotyping is never a good idea
By Glenn Mollette
We often hear about the crimes
and homicides that take place in
Chicago and in particular the south
side of Chicago. The murder and
overall crime rate is frightening.
I wouldn’t want to walk around
the streets of Roseland, Englewood
or a number of Chicago neighborhoods at night. Actually, I don’t
think I would want to walk around
them during the day. However, that
is not to say that all or even a large
number of people in South Chicago
are hoodlums. I think just the opposite; most of the people are good and
decent.
Last Sunday, I spoke at a church
in Roseland and spent almost five
hours with a group of very sweet,
kind people who live in this neighborhood and 99.9 percent of the
group was African American. My
wife and I had a beautiful time with
these people. I asked the pastor who
lives in the neighborhood if he felt
safe and he replied no. He went on
to tell me that he never lets his
grandkids out alone to play in his
own yard. He occasionally hears
shots in his neighborhood and even
had some bullet holes in his car
some months back. He went on to

Media’s responsibility to our democracy
By Lee H. Hamilton
Politicians spend a good bit of
their time complaining about the
media. But why should they have all
the fun?
I’m going to join in, though I tend
to get upset about different things
than most sitting politicians do. You
see, I don’t actually mind when
journalists — whether in print, on
television or online — treat what
politicians say with skepticism. That
means they’re doing their jobs.
But this doesn’t happen nearly as
much these days as it should. The
media today is less objective, more
ideological, and much showier than
it once was. What you see can be

eye-catching — both the graphics

brash and relentlessly self-promoting. A lot of journalists don’t just
want to report the news, they want
to be players and affect policy. They
see politics as a blood sport, often
exaggerating the differences among
players.
As one observer said, the media is
drawn to "superficiality, sensationalism, scandal, and sleaze." They’re
all too happy to seize on small
points of contention and fan them
into major points of discord. They
make building a consensus — the
key task of the democratic process
— much harder.

How long has it been since
you’ve seen a two-dollar bill?
Been quite a while, hasn’t it?
The Hub publishers got a look at
just one of these rare bits of
paper money each year. They
have a subscriber out in Port-
land, Oregon, who, every year
about this time encloses a $2bill in an envelope and sends it
along to renew her subscription.
Where does she get them? We
don’t know--unless perhaps,
they’re more numerous out
west. The Hub is saving every
one of the bills she sends them.
While plowing on the meadow of the C. P. Maloney farm,

the team of horses. But, strange
is the fact that neither Milo nor
his team suffered stings. It is the
first instance where a honey bee

tell me I was in one of the
most violent neighborhoods in
Chicago.
Sadly, there is horrific violence on the Southside of
Chicago. Tragically, there are
criminals and hoodlums in
this incredible city. However,
most of the people living on
the Southside are not bad people. They are good people trying to survive and overcome
the minority of criminals,
hoodlums and gang members
who make their community
scary.
I was raised in Martin
County, Kentucky President
Lyndon Johnson began his
campaign on poverty in our
hometown in 1964. He visited Tom Fletcher about three
miles down the road from our
family. The Fletcher family
became the poster family for
Johnson's war on poverty. We
didn't appreciate the stereotyping of all Martin county
people as poor, ignorant hillbillies. I’m sure the Fletcher
family didn't appreciate it either. However, with the history of the Hatfields and the
McCoys along with television
programs like The Dukes of
Hazzard, many of us got the
media's drift about how they
viewed Appalachian people.
Yes, just like Chicago, Appalachia has enough ignorance and poverty. President
Johnson’s war on poverty just
created more poor people.
However, lots of people from
Appalachia complete college
or conduct successful businesses, work hard and meaningful jobs and pay lots of
taxes, just like many people
do in Chicago. Like all the
people on the South Side of
Chicago we don't like to be
stereotyped either.
We stereotype in a multitude of other ways. Stereotypes freeze us into time.
They limit our ability to communicate, understand and
move forward. When we
stereotype we make a generalization that limits productivity
and success.
I’m so grateful I got to
spend a Sunday on the South
Side of Chicago. The next
time I hear about a Chicago
crime, murder or other violent
acts I will have some lovely
people on my mind and I will
be praying and thinking with
them about how we all need
to work together to rise above
the stereotypes and the problems and make this world better.

high that’s so often associated
with them. Instead, what I too
often find lacking now is the
spirit that drove the profession
in those days. I think the news
media had a sense of responsibility to make representative
democracy function. Journalists imbued their work with a
palpable sense that they were
involved in a public service.
There are still really excellent journalists out there who
are doing their best to serve
both their profession and the
country. Every day they struggle to make sense of enormously complex events. What
they understand — and what I
wish more of their colleagues
believed — is that democracy
demands journalism that improves its workings. Properly
done, journalism can bridge
differences, help consensus
emerge, improve the knowledge and judgment of voters,
and sharpen the performance
of public officials and government as a whole.
In the end, the democratic
process is about overcoming
disagreement. This is virtually
impossible without a solid
base of information and
analysis.
Governing well is immensely difficult, and good
journalism can keep government open and honest —
which serves not just the voters, but politicians who are
trying to resolve the problems
facing the country. Journalists
can and should be watchdogs,
keeping a watchful eye on
politicians — what they do,
what they say…and what they
don’t do or say. They should
serve not just the elites, but
the underdogs and have-nots
in society.
The independence of our
press was hard to win, and it’s
vital that we sustain it. People
must have sources they can
rely on in order to make our
system work. Our democracy
needs well-informed citizens
making decisions based on
facts about both policies and
politicians.
This means that the model
of the journalist that seems to
be going out of fashion — reporters who were reasonably
objective, independent of outside groups, and even independent of their company’s
owners — is actually crucial
to representative government.
Curious, skeptical journalists
who point out inconsistencies,
draw attention to mistakes,
call out misleading statements, and identify outright
lies serve a larger purpose:
they provide citizens what
they need to know in order to
be a good citizen, and public
officials what they need in
order to do their work well.
This is quite an ideal, especially in this age of economic
turmoil within the media universe. But I don’t think it’s
too much to hope that as the
profession sorts out its future,
it takes seriously its leadership role in advancing the
public good, and doesn’t sacrifice its part in making representative democracy work
properly.
Lee Hamilton is a Senior
Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government.

Volleyball team returns 4 letterwinners
By Kurt Menk
Editor
Four letterwinners return
for head coach Chip Wolverton and the Sibley East varsity girls volleyball team this
season.
The returning letterwinners
include seniors Emma Samletzka and Hannah Wentzlaff,
junior Taylor Brinkman and
sophomore Rachel Rettmann.
The remaining senior is
Alyssa Louwagie while the
other juniors are Veronica
Oyuela, Taylor Perschau,
Mercedes Roehler, Morgan
Stearns and Ali Stock.
The remaining sophomores
are Madison Grove, Madi
Krentz, Morgan Mathews,
Michaela Sylvester, Brooke
Willmsen, Madisyn Petree,
Rebekah King, Kasha Bates,
Olivia Otto and Kianna Garcia.
The Lady Wolverines hope
to improve upon last year’s
finish of 2-4 in the Minnesota
River Conference and 15-12
overall.
“We are a very athletic
team with great potential for
growth and improvement as
volleyball players,” said
Wolverton, who is assisted by
B-squad coach Stephanie
Schultz. “We have some
strong hitters in key spots and
we should serve at a high percentage. I’ve also been very
happy with our work ethic so
far which will be a huge factor in how much improvement we see and how fast.”
Wolverton said the team’s
number one weakness would
be its youth and inexperience
with just four returning letterwinners, three of whom are
starters.
“We will need to rebuild
quickly after losing seven
seniors, several of whom
were three-year starters,” said
Wolverton. “It may take us
awhile to settle into our roles
on the team, as well as our
regular rotation which will
likely be a work in progress

The Lady Wolverines,
under the direction of head

held a scrimmage at Mankato East on Thursday, Aug. 18.
Sibley East opened its season at Glencoe-Silver Lake
on Tuesday, Aug. 23. The

from those two events will be
published in next week’s edition of the Arlington Enterprise.
The Lady Wolverines will
host United South Central
and Tri-City United on Thursday, Sept. 1.
for a while.”
Wolverton added, “I think
our number one goal right
now is to improve every day
so that we are playing our
best volleyball as a team at
the end of the year. We will
see some tough competition
through the year in our conference which should help us
improve, but we'll have to
stick with it and keep a positive attitude to make it work.”
Wolverton predicts defending state champion Belle
Plaine, who features probably
the best player in the state,
will be the conference favorite. Jordan and Mayer
Lutheran should also be
tough.
Sibley East will open its
season at G-F-W in Winthrop
on Tuesday night, Aug. 30.
The Lady Wolverines will
also travel to Jordan on
Thursday night, Sept. 1.

Work begins on statewide
deer management plan
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
has begun work on a new
statewide deer management
plan – a multi-phase project
that will emphasize opportunities for citizen input
and involvement.
“The DNR values the
statewide significance and
cultural traditions surrounding deer, and recognizes the
importance of hearing from
all citizens who have a
stake in how deer are managed,”
said
Adam
Murkowski, DNR big game
program leader.
Overall goals of the deer
plan include setting a
statewide harvest objective,
describing the DNR’s responsibilities and activities
related to deer management, addressing regional
variations in deer habitat
and populations, and guiding the agency’s management of deer into the future.
The DNR has already
had early conversations
about the plan with interest-
ed groups. A statewide deer
plan advisory committee
will be formed this fall, and
opportunities for citizen
input will be announced.
The DNR aims to complete
the plan by the spring of
2018.
“To ensure the deer plan
best reflects statewide interests, we’ll be actively soliciting input from the general
population in addition to
our invested stakeholder
groups,” Murkowski said.
“The ultimate success of
the plan will depend largely
on citizen participation in
this process. Hunters are a
primary stakeholder group
and they will be actively involved, as will other interests, to ensure that decisions best serve the public.”
The deer plan advisory
committee will include representatives from a wide
array of interested groups
as well as open, nonaffiliated seats. The committee is
expected to begin work before the end of 2016 and
meet monthly for the duration of the planning
process.
“We’re currently working
on the selection process and
will announce in September
how individuals can apply
for committee membership,” Murkowski said.
Murkowski added that
the planning process will
include opportunities for
citizen participation beyond
the advisory committee, including public meetings,
online comments and small
group discussions. DNR
staff will also be talking
with participants about
ways to stay involved and
engaged in deer management even after the deer
plan is implemented.
To stay informed about
the deer management planning process, opportunities
to get involved, and other
deer-related topics, visit the
email updates page and
subscribe to the Deer Management email list.
Small game hunter survey results released
About the same number of
small game hunters took to
the field in 2015 compared to
the year before. By species,
the number of pheasant
hunters was up slightly, with
duck hunters stable and
grouse hunters down slightly,
according to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources annual small game
survey.
In 2015, the number of
pheasant hunters was 63,350,
representing an increase of 10
percent from 2014.
An estimated 76,243 people hunted ducks, essentially
the same as last year.
Ruffed grouse hunter numbers were estimated at 79,058
a decrease of 5 percent from
2014.
Statewide estimates show
small game hunters harvested
about 243,176 pheasants (up
59 percent), 663,811 ducks
(down 5 percent), and
267,997 ruffed grouse (down
11 percent) in 2015 with margins of error in the results of
between 9 and 14 percent.
With the exception of
pheasant, individual hunter
success rates were comparable to 2014. Pheasant hunters
harvested an average of 3.8
pheasants in 2015, which was
41 percent higher than 2014
when 2.7 pheasants were
taken per hunter. Duck
hunters harvested an average
of 8.7 ducks in 2015 compared to 9.3 in 2014. Woodcock hunters harvested 3
birds per hunter, compared to
2.7 in 2014. Ruffed grouse
hunters harvested an average
of 3.4 grouse in 2015, compared to 3.6 in 2014.
The DNR annually surveys
small game hunters to make
estimates of both hunter numbers and harvest trends. For
the 2015 season, 7,000 small
game license buyers were
surveyed of which 3,485 surveys were returned and usable.
The complete report is on
the DNR website.
