Arlington ENTERPRISE Serving the Communities of Arlington and Green Isle, Minnesota Single copy $1.00 Volume 130 • Number 16 • Thursday, October 24, 2013 • Arlington, MN 55307 www.arlingtonmnnews.com Martens is a National Distinguished Principal Mari Lu Martens is among 61 outstanding elementary and middle school principals from across the nation and abroad who have been named as 2013 National Distinguished Principals by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP). Martens is the Sibley East elementary principal in Arlington and Gaylord. The National Distinguished Principals will be honored at an awards banquet at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Oct. 25. It will be part of a two-day program, which for more than 20 years has been generously funded by VALIC. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will provide congratulatory remarks. Established in 1984, the program recognizes public and private school principals who make superior contributions to their schools and communities. The distinguished principals are selected by NAESP state affiliates, including the District of Columbia, and by committees representing private and overseas schools. NAESP Executive Director Gail Connelly commended the honorees for being exemplars of successful school leadership. “Only a principal can move a school from good to great, simultaneously championing children and uplifting the communities they serve,” Connelly said. “We congratulate this class of NDPs for their steadfast dedication to educating our nation’s children to their fullest potential.” “VALIC is proud to continue its support as sole sponsor of the National Distinguished Principal’s Award Program,” said Bruce Abrams, President of VALIC. “This program al- lows us to recognize the important role of principals on the education and development of our nation’s children, our future leaders. On behalf of VALIC, I congratulate all 61 of this year ’s National Distinguished Principals and extend my deepest thanks for all that they do.” October is a particularly fitting month to acknowledge the work of principals, as legislation has been introduced in both chambers of congress declaring October 2013 National Principals Month. National Principals Month was established to recognize and honor the contributions of school principals and assistant principals toward the success of the nation’s students, and encourage awareness of their significance. Established in 1921, the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) serves elementary and middle school principals in the United States, Canada, and overseas. NAESP leads in the advocacy and support for elementary and middlelevel principals and other education leaders in their commitment to all children. Mari Lu Martens Highway 5 to open on Monday, Oct. 28 By Kurt Menk Editor The Highway 5 Project from Arlington to Green Isle is drawing to completion. The highway will be open for traffic on Monday, Oct. 28, according to a representative from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The construction crew is expected to wrap up odds and ends later this week. Construction on the project was originally scheduled to start on Monday, July 29, but was delayed twice to mid August. At that time, the completion date was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 25. Knife River Corporation North Central of Sauk Rapids is the contractor on the project that includes seven miles of pavement replacement and a mill and overlay in Green Isle. The cost of the project is approximately $5 million. SE School Board votes to suspend Doug Flieth without pay indefinitely Enterprise photo by Kurt Menk The Thirty-Ninth Man Minnesota author Dale Swanson shared his newly released work of historical fiction, “The Thirty-Ninth Man” at the Arlington Public Library on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 20. The book is about the Minnesota Dakota War of 1862. The Dakota Sioux uprising resulted in the largest mass hanging in U.S. history. Thirty-nine were sentenced and 38 died. One was pardoned at the last minute by President Abraham Lincoln. The event was sponsored by the Arlington Public Library League. Sibley County resolution combines the auditor and treasurer positions By Dave Pedersen Correspondent The Sibley County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution to consolidate the offices of Auditor and Treasurer to take effect Jan. 7, 2019 or earlier depending on the circumstances. The action was taken at the meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22 to create a single office of Sibley County Auditor-Treasurer “to promote efficiency in county government.” It was suggested the county wait until the referendum period ends before the board can pass another resolution that would set a public hearing as part of bringing the issue to the voters in the 2014 election. At that point the public can decide to have the new position elected or appointed. The public can file a reverse referendum after 90 days and within 30 days of the second publication notice if it opposes the resolution to consolidate the offices. Upon no objection, the county can vote on a resolution on Dec. 23 providing for the contingency if either the current auditor or treasurer should vacate their office before terms expire in 2019. The board could then assign the duties of the person who left to the one remaining. County Commissioner Bill Pinske said the idea of starting this in 2019 is so the incumbents do not have to run against each other. • In other business, the board approved extending Aaron Scharpe’s limited term agreement to work in the Auditor’s office through December of 2013. • The voluntary furlough policy was extended through 2014. Andrea Thielke was hired as fulltime income maintenance case aid. • Approved was the Public Health and Human Services contract renewal with Greater Minnesota Family Services for the provision of family based services. Also approved was the contract renewal with the Minnesota Valley Action Council for the provision of support and employment and training Services for SNAP and MFIP/DWP for $98,638. • Tim Becker, Public Works Director, was granted authorization to sign a purchase order from Towmaster Truck Equipment for $221,220. The funds will equip the two new trucks recently purchased. • The county hired B. McNamara Inc. to complete the 2014 gravel crushing for class 1 and 5 materials. The Sibley County Commissioners will hold their next regular meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12. By Karin Ramige Cornwell Manager The Sibley East School Board, during a non-public meeting on Monday, Oct. 21, discussed further action regarding Sibley East teacher and former head coach Doug Flieth. The School Board unanimously voted to place Flieth on unpaid suspension indefinitely under the recommendation of the School District Attorney Tony Nerud. Flieth, 39, Gaylord, pleaded guilty to one gross misdemeanor count of interference with privacy in Sibley County District Court on Oct. 10. As part of the sentence, Flieth was ordered to undergo psychological and psychosexual evaluations. In addition to the evaluations, Flieth was sentenced to 365 days in the Sibley County Jail with 335 days stayed. Flieth was placed on probation for two years. The conditions of probation include that he must serve 30 days in the Sibley County Jail and report within 30 days, perform 40 hours of sentence to service within an indeterminate period of time and pay $385 in fines and fees. Under Nerud’s recommendation, since Flieth will spend 30 days in the county jail, he will be physically unable to perform the requirements of his teaching contract with Sibley East. The School Board should then consider changing the Flieth’s status from paid suspension to unpaid suspension. After the results of the psychological and psychosexual evaluations are provided to the school administration or Nerud, the School Board will again review the status of Flieth’s employment with the district. “First priority, obviously, of the district is to act in a way to ensure the safety of the students and staff and I believe that since the court considered that evaluation a necessary component of his probation and rehabilitation, it is a necessary component in our determination of his fitness to return to the district in any capacity where he would be interacting with students and or adults,” Nerud said. The Minnesota State Board of Education has been aware of the sentence and are conducting an independent investigation. A motion was made by School Board member Missy Weber and seconded by School Board member Anne Karl to move Flieth to unpaid suspension. The motion was approved by a 6-0 vote. ******** Flieth was charged with one count of interference with privacy on Tuesday, July 9 for allegedly recording underneath a hair stylist’s dress with his cell phone in Arlington on Saturday, July 6, according to the Sibley County Attorney’s Office. The Sibley East School Board, during a regular meeting on Monday night, Aug. 5, adopted a resolution to authorize the district to suspend Flieth from his teaching contract duties with pay pending the investigations of the school district, Sibley County and Minnesota Department of Education. The School Board, during a regular meeting on Monday night, Sept. 16, approved a motion to not renew Flieth’s coaching contracts as head girls basketball coach and cohead golf coach. Arlington Enterprise, Thursday, October 24, 2013, page 2 www.arlingtonmnnews.com News Briefs Accident along Highway 19 A two-vehicle accident reportedly occurred near a private driveway along Highway 19 at 11:26 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department. Marc L. Reichenbach, 55, Henderson, was driving a 2007 Pontiac G6 westbound on Highway 19 and attempted to make a turn into his private driveway at 39815, according to the report. The Reichenbach vehicle was then struck by an eastbound GMC Sierra driven by Richard D. Bach, 22, Henderson. The Reichenbach vehicle ended up in the ditch. Reichenbach was not wearing his seatbelt, but the airbags deployed in his vehicle, according to the report. Bach was wearing his seatbelt and was not reportedly injured. Henderson resident Kimberly M. Bach, 18, who was a passenger in the GMC, was treated for a sore neck at the scene and released. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, according to the report. The Arlington Ambulance also assisted at the scene. Items taken from property An individual or individuals reportedly took some items from a parcel of land owned by John Mathwig and located in Section 20 of Washington Lake Township sometime between Sunday, Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 20, according to the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department. The items included a deer camera, a pole and several LED flashers, according to the report. These items were valued at approximately $200. The incident is still under investigation. People who have any information about this or any other incident are encouraged to call the Sibley County Sheriff’s Department at 507-237-4330. Enterprise photo by Kurt Menk In Memory Of Buck Thomes In early June, family members and friends gathered to plant a tree in memory of Dan “Buck” Thomes at the Arlington Sportsmen’s Park. In late September, a bench was donated by Mike Korth/Midwest Playscapes in memory of Buck and was placed not far from the tree. The inscription on the bench reads: “In loving memory of Daniel “Buck” Thomes. May he watch over this park forever.” Left to right: Buck’s dog, Buddy; wife, Lorie Thomes; best friend, Rick Rose; son, Jason Thomes; daughter, Lindsay Thomes; daughter, Michelle Thomes; and son, Nathan Thomes.

White receives scholarships County health care programs undergo change of heart Jenna White, a 2012 graduate of the Sibley East Senior High School in Arlington, recently received the Wenner/Reisinger Scholarship and Geraldine Raisler Hedberg Endowed Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Scholarships valued at more than $600,000 were awarded to 320 University of Wisconsin-Stout students this year through the Stout University Foundation at a reception on Thursday, Sept. 12. Many of the scholarship donors and members of the board of directors personally presented the awards. White is majoring in hotel, restaurant and tourism management. She is the daughter of Alex and Slava White, Gaylord. By Dave Pedersen Correspondent Health care services provided in Sibley County could suffer some ill affects with the announcing of upcoming changes that are in the works. Informational updates were provided by Vicki Stock, Public Health and Human Services Director, at the board of commissioners meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22. First of all, work is going at a fever pitch as the county contends with implementing the federal affordable health care system that is experiencing glitches throughout the country. Health insurance options for people at all income levels became available Oct. 1, but have not been totally accessible in some cases. Stock was in on a conference call with the state Department of Human Services (DHS) to discuss current changes and issues that are being worked out. This includes Minnesota’s health insurance system called MNsure that offers four rate lev- Interim worker is hired The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting on Monday night, Oct. 21, voted 4-0 and approved a motion to hire Taylor Weber as the interim part-time maintenance worker for the City of Arlington. City Council members Jennifer Nuesse, Curt Reetz, Jason Ruehling and Galen Wills all voted in favor of the motion. City Council member James Jaszewski had a prior commitment and was unable to attend the meeting. Questions about Health Care? MNsure Rates The good news is that MNsure individual rates are the lowest in the country across all levels as shown in a rate review by the Commerce Department. The Bronze plan is said to cover 60 percent of the expected costs for a person, while Silver covers 70, Gold 80 and Platinum 90 percent. However, rolling out the program has hit some bumps in the road. Stock said that training continues to be developed for the eligibility workers who are supposed to be provided services. “Some of the functionality in the system is not working properly,” said Stock. “One example is if someone from the public goes into the system and enters information, and then they go back in later to change or finish the application, a duplicate is being created.

So, those cases are going into pending status. Plus, Stock said there are real cases and test cases all in one cue, so the county is not able to tell the difference. “We can only see up to 100 cases at a time,” pointed out Stock about the new computer server designed for the new program. “So we have no idea how many cases may be out there for us. We are receiving calls from the general public, which are taking quite a bit of time. The public has many questions they don’t understand and we don’t have a lot of answers at this point in time.” Another issue involves four staff members who are not able to get into the system. Stock is working with the state security to get that figured out. It is not just Sibley County, but it seems every county has a certain number of people who are unable to access the system. If Sibley County residents are eligible for medical assistance, they have a choice to go with South Country Health Alliance as an option. MNsure plans are for the general public, replacing the former MinnesotaCare plans. Four insurance plans are available in Sibley County through MNsure. They are Blue Cross Blue Shield, Group Health, Medica of Wisconsin and Preferred One. Stock noted that four insurance agencies in the county have been approved to assist clients in the enrollment process. Two are located in Winthrop, one is in Gaylord and the other is in Gibbon. The deadline to join a health insurance plan is Jan. 1. “It has been an interesting month,” said Stock. “Staff is frustrated, but keeping a good attitude. It is what it is.” Frank’s Potato Supplier of fresh MN potatoes will be at the Nicollet Mart in Nicollet, MN Fridays & Saturdays October into November – Weather Permitting – or call: 507-995-1201 507-931-4572 *41-42SEa our area businesse s apprecia te it when you do!

Elaine met her future husband, Le Roy Breitkreutz, while he was on a trip to buy horses in North Dakota. “It was love at first sight,” said Elaine, who was 21 years old on her wedding day. After a long distance relationship, the couple got married at the Ebenezer Church, a country church located south of Arlington, on Nov. 25, 1934. “We were so happy that we finally got it over with because people were anxiously waiting for us to get married,” Elaine said. The couple began to live on a farm homesteaded by LeRoy’s grandfather and located about four miles southeast of Arlington. The couple was later blessed with a son, Douglas, and a daughter, Donna. There were always chores to do on the farm, according to Elaine. The couple had Holstein milking cows, two teams of Morgan horses, sheep for a while and always chickens. She remembered that the couple lost four steers in the Armistice Day Blizzard on Nov. 11 and 12, 1940. In addition to the livestock, Elaine also tended to a her garden. The garden was so big that it could be weeded with a field cultivator. She would also share her produce with friends from town. “She was always a worker,” said Donna. “After the farm chores, she would have four loaves of bread on the counter, clothes on the line and be at work at Kruger’s Dry Goods Store in Arlington by 8 a.m.” “That’s the way it had to be done,” added Elaine, who worked at Kruger’s for about five years. Elaine also loved her seasonal job at the canning company where she worked for several years. “She worked on the cutters,” said Donna. “She could push corn through there faster than anybody’s business.” After her kids had graduated from high school, Elaine also worked as a receptionist at the Arlington Clinic for three years. Aside from her family and the chores on the farm, Elaine made clothes for Donna and enjoyed various hobbies such as quilting, embroidery and, of course, dancing and later square dancing. She was also very active and generous in the community. Elaine was a 4-H leader for the Hearty Hustlers for many years. She was also involved in the Kelso Women Extension Group for several years. Elaine also served as a Sunday School teacher and later became the Sunday School superintendent. Mueller to retire as Gaylord Police Chief Gaylord Police Chief Kenn Mueller recently announced his plans to retire from law enforcement, according to an article in The Gaylord Hub. Mueller, a resident of rural Arlington, recently announced his retirement in a letter to the Gaylord City Council. His intention is to have a retirement date before April 1, 2014. In the letter, Mueller asked to be included in the process to hire his replacement. Mueller is also willing to continue as police chief until the position is filled. “I have greatly enjoyed working for the City of Gaylord, said Mueller, who graduated from the Arlington- Green Isle High School in 1978. “Gaylord is a great community and I am very happy to have been a part of it for the past few years.” The Gaylord City Council, at its next meeting, is scheduled to act upon the letter of retirement and discuss the process to fill the position. It was Elaine who came up with the idea for the Little Red Stocking cancer fundraiser years ago. Elaine, a lifetime member of the United Methodist Church in Arlington, “was always very active in her church,” according to Donna. In addition, Elaine is a member of the Eastern Star and recently received her 50-year pin. Over the years, Elaine has seen the many changes in technology as well as the growth of Arlington and the decline of family farms in the area. Elaine, who lost her husband in 1994, lived on the Breitkreutz family farm until she was almost 97 years young. She has been a resident at the Good Samaritan Society - Arlington since March of 2010. Elaine, who has two grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren, credits her longevity to taking good care of herself, staying busy and enjoying life. VETERINARIAN RG OVREBO DVM LLC Special Education Another impact on health services provided came in Stock’s update on changes in the River Bend Education District based in New Ulm. The cooperative is between Sibley, Brown and Watonwan counties. Stock reported that after an audit was done last spring, Sibley County was told the way it has been funding River Bend is no longer acceptable. There has been a joint process between River Bend, the counties and the schools. River Bend provides educational services to those students who can’t be in the public schools. “Our plan has also had very intense mental health services as part of that program,” said Stock. “The reason it was started was as a cost savings to the county for out of home placements. At a meeting, River Bend has indicated to us that what we call the team program has been decreasing 24” x 36” Photo Posters 18 $ .00 + tax Call • 5” Seamless Gutters • 6” Seamless Gutters • K-Guard Leaf-Free Gutter System MESENBRING CONSTRUCTION (507) 964-2864 “Your local home builder and remodeler for over 38 years” Member: MN River Builders Assn.

The School districts are seeing a shifting need to serve a larger population of those special education students.” As a result of the meeting, Stock said the counties have decided to terminate the joint powers agreement for the team program. River Bend is committed to providing the special education services, including socialization and mental health. It just will not be as intense. “The upside in the long run is I think this will save the county money because we will use more special education dollars,” said Stock. “This will be a major, major change. The team and day treatment programs have been in existence for 20 years. The team program provided for more one on one attention, but now we will be doing more in groups.” Home Care Month In other public health news, Stock said November is Home Care Month. The county has a staff of 19 with a combined 98 years of experience working with home health care. 507-964-5547 for details!

The 10-county adult mental health initiative has three state staff members located in Sibley County, whose contracts will be terminated effective July 1, 2015. “This community partnership as part of DHS has been a cost savings for Sibley County because we don’t have to employ these people,” said Stock. “We only provide a desk. Mental health is the only area where the state mandates a certain case load size. Our adult limit is 30 cases at most. Having state staff in house has helped us maintain that level.” Directors in the 10 counties met with the state commissioner and voiced concerns. They noted that local staff is vital to the success of this initiative. “They are very important to obtain the quality of service we have been able to provide to that population,” said Stock. “We were told the state staff located in the counties was never intended to be a long term answer, which is the first I ever heard of that. Some counties already have taken staff on as county employees. I have to figure out what is best for this office, agency and county.” Elaine Breitkreutz Business & Professional Directory Sibley County Continued from page 2 Staff Changes Enterprise photo by Megan Bennett M29tfnCLESAj By Kurt Menk Editor Elaine Breitkreutz recently celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends during an open house at the United Methodist Church in Arlington. Woodrow Wilson was the U.S. President and the price of gas was 12 cents a gallon when Elaine (Alwin) Breitkreutz was born on a farm about four miles south of Sleepy Eye on Sept. 30, 1913. She was the sixth of nine children. Elaine was 12 years old when her family moved to Lakota, N.D. Elaine recalled walking two miles to school in good weather and riding in a sleigh pulled by a team of horses in the winter months. She was very smart for her age and graduated from high school at the young age of 15. After graduation from high school, Elaine remained on the family farm. “Dad said I had to help out at the farm,” said Elaine. “My Mom was not feeling well.” Labeled as a worker, Elaine also helped to raise her three younger siblings. After a few years, Elaine was also a caregiver for a nearby farm family. Aside from her work on the farm, Elaine loved to dance.

Letters to the editor and opinion pieces may not change anyone’s mind, but it might at least make people think and realize that there is more than one way to look at an issue. It also starts or continues the discussion and dialogue on timely and important issues that affect people in the communities, school district, county and beyond. It may be difficult for some people to express their ideas and opinions, especially on sensitive topics, in a newspaper of a small community where everyone seems to know everyone. Some people may also believe that others who write a letter to the editor or an opinion piece and take a stand on these types of issues are negative individuals. That is hardly the case at all. These individuals have the right to exercise their freedom of speech and, more importantly, the courage to submit their letter or column for publication. In a lot of cases, people who write letters to the editor or opinion columns often times share the same opinion or ideas of readers who are reluctant to have their views in print. Finally, individuals who write a letter to the editor or an opinion column are hardly the final voices of authority on a particular topic and readers will surely not agree with them on every issue. When that happens, this newspaper hopes readers will exercise their right and write a letter to the editor or an opinion column for publication. Letters to the editor and opinion columns are always welcome. -K.M.

He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workers. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. “Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is,” the older worker said. “I will bet a week’s wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won’t be able to wheel back.” “You’re on, old man,” the braggart replied. “Let’s see what you got.” The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, “All right, get in.” ***** A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their Maker and because of the grief they have experienced, He decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter paradise. They’re all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. “I want to be gorgeous,” replies the first man. God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says, “I want to be gorgeous too.” Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted. This goes on for a while with each one asking to be gorgeous, but when God is halfway down the line the last guy in the line starts laughing. When there are only 10 people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his head off. Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy eventually calms down and says, “Make ‘em all ugly again.” ***** Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they laid down for the night, and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend awake. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.” “What does that tell you?” Holmes questioned. Watson pondered for a minute. “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?” Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. “Watson, you idiot.

Guest Column Making sense of the shutdown strategy By Lee S. Wishing From the moment I clicked on CSPAN to watch Sen. Ted Cruz’s quasi-filibuster, I’ve been trying to make sense of the defund Obamacare/government shutdown effort. It didn’t take a rocket scientist, or a political scientist, to know it wouldn’t work. But it might just be the first of many skirmishes that will save the country. After all, conservatives have two powerful allies on their side. When Sen. Cruz began his 21hour talking marathon, I immediately wondered how he thought it possible that the U.S. Senate, controlled by Democrats, would give up on Obamacare and why he thought President Obama would give up on his signature accomplishment, national healthcare – a progressive dream for a century. I share the sentiment of investor Stanley Druckenmiller, who told the Wall Street Journal, “I thought tying Obamacare to the debt ceiling was nutty.” The idea was quarterbacked by former Cruz colleague, Jim DeMint, who surprisingly resigned from the U.S. Senate last December to run the Heritage Foundation and link up with its political arm, Heritage Action for America. While Congress vacationed last summer, DeMint and Cruz fertilized the grassroots by participating in Heritage Action’s nine-city Defund Obamacare tour. Energized by large crowds, Cruz was ready to make his charge against the economy-killing healthcare program when Congress went back to work in the fall. But Cruz and his intrepid Republican platoon couldn’t overcome simple math: two is greater than one. A firm (Democrat) White House aligned with an unyielding (Democrat) Senate beats the (Republican) House of Representatives. After a few weeks of fighting, the Staff Bill and Joyce Ramige, Publishers; Kurt Menk, Editor; Karin Ramige, Manager; Marvin Bulau, Production Manager; Barb Mathwig, Office; Ashley Reetz, Sales; and Jean Olson, Proof Reading. insurgency went down in flames. Or did it? Well, yes it did but it will kindle future fires of rebellion. Something new and big and powerful is going on in the political world. Conservative think-tank leaders around the country aren’t content just to create intellectual ideas to promote the principles of freedom any longer. They’re getting into the fight to make sure their ideas win in the political arena. They’ve lost their patience because our $17-trillion federal deficit, our $200 trillion of unfunded federal liabilities, and our out-of-control Federal Reserve money printing machine could send our country into the economic abyss at any moment. These figures don’t even count our massive state and local government liabilities. So, yes, our country is in big trouble and we need leadership to save it. From an economic perspective, rather than a political perspective, linking the Defund Obamacare effort to a deal to fund the federal government wasn’t nutty; it made a lot of sense for the long run because Obamacare will create massive economic pain. Sadly, politics and elections are more important to politicians than the state of the American economy. Their aim is to get re-elected. And DeMint, Heritage Action, FreedomWorks and the dozens of other think tanks-turned-political-machines know it. This is certain – the politicians who vote recklessly will be dealing with DeMint and Matt Kibbe of FreedomWorks and others in a thousand skirmishes in their backyards where they can’t run for cover under the Capitol dome. DeMint, Heritage Action, Cruz and the Republican Party are bruised for now. But, they’ll be back to battle again. They’re learning how to fight this adversary, which includes big spenders in both parties. Heritage Action President Michael Needham, the 31 year-old brainchild of Defund Obamacare, told the Wall Street Journal, “There is nothing in my mission statement that says anything about the Republican Party. Our mission is to advance the conservative agenda. We are nonpartisan and we really mean it.” I anticipate that the older DeMint and young Needham will devise winning Fabian strategies, match their strengths against the opposition’s weaknesses, pester them in politically vulnerable districts, raise lots of money, improve their messaging, and link up with state-based think tanks with political arms. Finally and importantly, DeMint and the gang have two powerful allies on their side – economic truth and economic reality. Status quo Washington violates the laws of sound economics and is destroying the United States of America as we’ve known it. Inevitably, the economy will continue to decline and Obamacare will accelerate the downward spiral. As a result, voters will increasingly look for leadership with answers that reflect economic truth and reality. The electorate will remember Ted Cruz’s filibuster. For now, the battling conservatives may look bruised and ugly, but they’ll keep fighting and they’ll make incremental progress until they get chances to win big victories. Don’t count them out. They’re learning to fight big spenders on both sides of the aisle and economic truth and reality are on their side. Lee S. Wishing is the administrative director of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College and is president of the Grove City Christian Academy Board of Directors.

Obituary October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month It is estimated that intimate partner violence costs $4.1 billion per year for direct medical and health care services, plus an additional $1.8 billion for productivity losses. One in four women have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner while one in seven men were so victimized. One in six women and one in 19 men have been stalked during their life. The National Survey on Children’s Exposure to Violence, conducted January to May of 2008, found that one in nine children were exposed to some form of family violence in the past year. In a single day in 2007, 25,321 adults and children found refuge in a domestic violence emergency shelter or transitional housing facility. They are refugees in their own country. In 2011, the District Courts in Minnesota handled 27,288 domestic violence cases. Of these, 2,853 were felony level criminal charges of domestic assault, 2,863 were gross misdemeanor charges and 10,607 were misdemeanor level offenses. In addition, 10,965 petitions for Domestic Abuse Order for Protection were filed in Minnesota. Domestic violence does not occur only in large metropoli- tan centers. One of the key aspects of the power and control an abuser has over the victim is to isolate the victim from family and community. This is often simple to accomplish in rural areas where there is limited public transportation. Over the past five years in Sibley County, there have been over 200 criminal cases involving domestic abuse – assaults or violations of Orders for Protection. Of these, about 50 were a felony level offense, where the offender could have been sent to prison, for the seriousness of the offense or the number of previous cases against the defendant. In addition, 138 petitions for domestic abuse Orders for Protection have been filed in the past five years in our county. The recent death of running back Adrian Peterson’s son is only the latest and most visible tragedy that has resulted from the scourge of domestic violence. There are several groups in Sibley County who are working to reduce the violence in our community. Next week, we will describe the work these groups do and announce a kickoff event for a new project – the MENding Program – at the courthouse in Gaylord at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7. 95 Years Ago October 24, 1918 Louis Kill, Editor A huge pile, containing several hundred tons of sugar beets, is located near the beet dump near the railroad yards.

The Minnesota Department of Conservation tells how to cook a pheasant when you are lucky enough to get one: “First, get your pheasant - be sure you have your license and don’t take more than your limit. Remember, keep your gun cased when you’re in the car and don’t under any circumstances shoot from your car. Ask a farmer’s permission to hunt on his land. Don’t attempt to bring your friend’s birds back with you unless he accompanies you and don’t ship or take game outside the state when taken on a resident licence. Pick your pheasant, don’t skin it. The fat and flavor lie under the skin. Disjoint the bird and dredge it in flour. Brown it in deep fat; cover it with cream; turn fire to low and cook slowly until the meat almost falls off the bones. Eat with a clear conscience.” Lorene Nuessmeier, 86, Fullerton, Calif.

The first observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month took place in October 1987, and two years later in 1989, Congress passed a law designating October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Even 24 years later, domestic violence continues to plague our society. Every nine seconds in the United States, a woman is assaulted or beaten. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women – more than car accidents, muggings and rapes combined. And every day, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the United States. Since 2002 in Minnesota, at least 197 women died from domestic violence. 89 children died from child abuse. Financial costs of domestic abuse are staggering. Domestic abuse victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year – the equivalent of 32,000 full time jobs. www. www.AGIWomenofToday.org AGIWomenofToday.org Be a www.facebook.com/ N! agiwomenoftoday FA This frightful evening is sponsored by the Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce.

SE falls to Mayer Lutheran 34-17 By Kurt Menk Editor The Sibley East varsity football team concluded its regular season with a 34-17 loss to Mayer Lutheran in Minnesota River Conference action on Wednesday night, Oct. 16. The Wolverines, who fell behind 14-0, eventually rallied for a 17-14 lead, but later lost by 17 points. The Crusaders, on their first possession in the opening quarter, drove 60 yards before senior quarterback Cole Buttenhoff tossed a 10yard touchdown pass to junior Taylor Otterstatter. Senior Chad Anenson followed with the extra point kick as Mayer Lutheran jumped out to a 7-0 lead with 8:40 left in the first quarter. Mayer Lutheran, on its next possession, marched down the field and scored on a 27yard pass from Buttenhoff to senior Joel Burfeind. Anenson again coverted the extra point kick as the Crusaders increased their lead to 14-0 with 3:33 remaining in the opening quarter. The Wolverines, two possessions later, countered with a 58-yard drive capped off by a 12-yard touchdown run by senior running back Erik Danielson. Senior Francisco Guzman booted the extra point kick as Sibley East drew within 14-7 with 5:55 left in the second quarter. Sibley East, on the ensuing kickoff, recovered a pooch kick on the Mayer Lutheran 43-yard line. The drive eventually stalled inside the 10-yard line, but Guzman kicked a 25-yard field goal as the Wolverines drew within 14-10 with 3:34 left in the second quarter. An interception by Sibley East senior linebacker Ben White stopped a Crusader drive deep in Wolverine territory late in the second quarter. Sibley East, at its own 25yard line, scored a few plays later when Danielson raced 60 yards for a touchdown. The extra point kick by Guzman was no good as the Wolverines had to settle for a 17-14 lead with 1:50 left in the second frame. Sibley East had another drive late in the first half, but time expired as the Wolverines took a 17-14 advantage into halftime. The Wolverines, on their first possession in the third quarter, drove down to the Mayer Lutheran 17-yard line, but a run on a fourth-andthree play came up short. It was all Mayer Lutheran after that point. The Crusaders marched 43 yards before Buttenhoff hooked up with Burfeind on a 40-yard touchdown pass. Anenson followed with the extra point kick as Mayer Lutheran regained the lead at 21-17 late in the third quarter. Mayer Lutheran, on the ensuing kickoff, executed a successful onsides kick and recovered the ball on the Sibley East 40-yard line. Burfeind, a few plays later, found the end zone on a 23yard run. The Wolverines blocked the extra point kick, but not before the Crusaders opened its lead to 27-17 with 11:48 left in the fourth quarter. The Wolverines could not mount a serious drive after that point and even came up a pick-six interception to Anenson late in the game. Anenson also booted the extra point kick as the Crusaders cruised to a 34-17 lead and eventual win. The Wolverine offense compiled a total of 335 yards in the loss. Danielson sparked the ground game with 19 carries for 198 yards and two touchdowns. The effort put Danielson over 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season. Danielson and Sibley East graduate Logan Reid are the only two Sibley East running backs to rush for more than 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, according to Sibley East head coach Chuck Hartman. Senior running back Alex Pedraza had 16 rushes for 62 yards while senior Brody Rodning added two attempts for 33 yards. The Wolverine defense, meanwhile, created two turnovers, but gave up some big plays. White led the defense with nine solo tackles, six assisted tackles, one tackle for a loss, one quarterback sack, one forced fumble and one interception. Senior Cordell Bates contributed two solo tackles, four assisted tackles and one quarterback sack while junior Ben Frietag had one solo tackle, two assisted tackles and one tackle for a loss. Guzman, senior Austin Sadler and sophomore Travis Schmidt collected three solo tackles apiece while senior Darian Schulte and Colton Bates added five and four assisted tackles respectively. “It was a tough loss, but there are lessons to be learned and applied in the playoffs and in the careers for many of our young inexperienced starters,” said Hartman. “Football has a long learning curve if you want to be really good. There are so many moving parts, it is like no other game. The Wolverines conclude the season with a 2-5 mark in the MRC and a 3-5 record overall.

Sibley East, after a number of punt exchanges, scored its next touchdown late in the first half. The Wolverine offense marched 49 yards before senior running back Erik Danielson hit paydirt on a 2-yard run. Guzman again booted the extra point kick as Sibley East grabbed a 14-0 halftime advantage. St. Peter, on its first possession in the third quarter and after a long kickoff return to midfield, marched down the field and scored on a 1-yard plunge by senior running back Derek Meyer. The extra point kick by senior Valterri Korkiakoski was wide right as the Saints pulled within 14-6 with 8:52 remaining in the third quarter. Interceptions by seniors Beau Swenson and Austin Sadler stopped St. Peter drives late in the third quarter and early in the fourth frame. The Sibley East special teams then came up with another big play when Swenson recovered a fumbled punt on the St. Peter 23-yard line. The Wolverine offense, which later faced a fourthand-12 on the Saints 12yard line, scored when Sibley East senior quarterback Brody Rodning fired a 12yard touchdown pass to Danielson in the left corner of the end zone. Guzman converted the extra point kick as the Wolverines pulled ahead 216 with 3:14 left in the fourth quarter. Sibley East linebacker Travis Schmidt sealed the victory with an interception less than one minute later.

Arlington Enterprise, Thursday, October 24, 2013, page 8 www.arlingtonmnnews.com Sibley County Court Enterprise photo by Kurt Menk Fall Harvest The cool and wet weather has slowed down Minnesota’s corn and soybean harvests in the past week. Ninety-five percent of Minnesota’s corn crop is mature which is slightly behind the fiveyear average of 96 percent, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Ninety-seven percent of the soybean crop is mature. The corn harvest is only 19 percent complete which is well behind the normal 49 percent. The soybean harvest is 80 percent complete which is slightly behind the normal 83 percent. DNR urges area hunters to review trespass law, ask landowners first With Minnesota’s small game, waterfowl, and archery deer seasons underway, and the firearm deer season set to begin Nov. 9, conservation officers with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) remind hunters that there is one sure way to avoid landowner concerns associated with trespassing: “Always Ask First.” “Trespass is the biggest problem landowners have with hunters,” said Col. Ken Soring, DNR enforcement director. “It is critical for hunters to have good relationships with landowners, especially when you consider that in some parts of the state such as southwestern Min- nesota about 95 percent of the land is privately owned.” “If hunters and other outdoor recreationists would just make it a standard practice to always ask for permission before entering any private land, those relationships would improve a lot.” Soring encourages all hunters and landowners to obtain a copy of the 2013 Hunting and Trapping booklet and review the trespass information beginning on page 6. “I can’t stress enough how important it is to be very familiar with the trespass law.” Trespass penalties range from a $50 civil fine to a criminal penalty of several thousand dollars, confiscation of vehicles and hunting equipment, and revocation of hunting privileges for 2 years. Unlike urban law enforcement agencies, conservation officer response times to trespass calls may be longer, especially during the firearms deer season. Callers are urged to contact the Turn In Poachers (TIP) hotline at 800-652-9093 to report any alleged wildlife violation, including hunter trespass. Cell phone users can dial #TIP. Information must include precise time and location, along with a full description including a license plate number of any vehicle believed to be involved. Four anglers net nearly $3,000 in fines Four men recently pled guilty and paid fines of about $740 each following an investigation of sunfish overlimits by conservation officers with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). State conservation officers Jayson Hansen of Big Fork and Don Bozovsky of Hibbing checked the men and their wives while on patrol of Deer Lake near Effie. Searching freezers at various locations during the in- vestigation, the officers found bags of mostly frozen sunfish from Deer, Pickerel, Battle, Larson, and Poplar lakes. Deer, Pickerel, and Battle lakes have a 10 sunfish per person daily limit. The daily sunfish limit on most Minnesota lakes is 20 per person. The sunfish were seized and counted and the men were charged with 84 sunfish over the legal limit. Among the sunfish were 18 black crappie, 11 northern pike and nine bass. Fire deaths have decreased in Minnesota over last 40 years Fire deaths have gone down in Minnesota over the past 40 years — even as the population and number of recorded fires each year is going up. According to a new report from the state Fire Marshal’s office, 50 people died from fires in Minnesota in 2012. That is down from 56 in 2011. There were 16,581 reported fires in 2012, a 12 per- cent increase over the year before. Three people died in fires where there were working smoke alarms and 10 died from careless smoking. The report shows cooking continued to be the number-one cause of structure fires in 2012. No Minnesota firefighters died in the line-of-duty last year.
