Public reception to be held for city administrator finalists on Sept. 25 By Amy Newsom Correspondent Superintendent Jim Amsden addressed the busing issues during the regular monthly meeting of the Sibley East School Board on Monday night, Sept. 18 Amsden stated that times are getting better. School Board member Laura Reid felt that “we lost quality” during the first week of school in regard to busing. Amsden said Sibey East was able to condense to one less route and one less bus driver. Reid stated that “it’s not all about the money.” School Board member Sarah Ziegler said, “We need to give it a little time.” She felt that as time goes by they will get more efficient. School Board Chairperson Brian Brandt also felt that they have to allow time to let the program work. School Board member Missy Weber said she re- ceived a complaint about kids having to ride three to four to a seat or stand. Amsden stated that he agreed with Ziegler that “we need to give it a little time.” Elementary Update Sibley East Elementary Principal Mari Lu Martens provided an update on the playground equipment at the elementary school in Gaylord. Martens stated that it still needed awnings which are not usually put up over winter, but she requested that they be put up for a photo. Martens explained that the swings they were planning to move from Arlington did not come out of the ground well. The posts twisted and she did not think they would be us- able. She is looking at cost es- timates for new swings. Martens is also planning to have a “community day” for all those individuals, business- es and groups who donated time or money for the play- ground equipment. Martens also updated the School Board on the breakfast situation at the Gaylord site. All of the students start eating breakfast at 8:15 am and it is taking until 9 am to finish. Weber was concerned about students not starting actual class time until 9 a.m. Martens explained that they were getting some time in be- fore going to breakfast and that with all the buses coming in at different times, starting at 8:15 am to eat worked the best. Martens stated they are working to get the students finished with breakfast sooner. Martens also explained that they are doing a much better job with security. Visitors have to be buzzed into the school and go to the school office to sign in and receive a name badge. Other News The School Board approved the FFA Fruit sales beginning in October. Last year, the group had a total profit of $7,517. The School Board also ap- proved the out-of-state travel for the FFA National Conven- tion in Indianapolis, Indiana from Oct. 22 through Oct. 27. Busing issues addressed at Sibley East School Board meeting Preliminary tax levy reflects a 5.9% increase in Arlington By Kurt Menk Editor The Arlington City Council, during its regular meeting on Monday night, Sept. 18, unan- imously adopted a resolution to approve the preliminary 2017 tax levy for collection in 2018. According to Interim City Administrator Laura Elvebak, the preliminary 2017 tax levy for collection in 2018 will in- crease from $811,428 to $859,934. This reflects an ap- proximate 5.9 percent in- crease. City Council members Michelle Battcher, Adam Cowell, Tom Hatlestad, Jim Heiland and James Jaszewski all voted in favor of the reso- lution. The City Council can only reduce the preliminary amount before the final tax levy is adopted in December. The City Council will hold the Truth In Taxation public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4. The City Council, last year, adopted a 4.2 percent hike in its preliminary tax levy during September, but lowered it to a 2.5 percent increase before final adoption in December. In other action, it was an- nounced that the new police chief will begin his duties in Arlington sometime during mid November. In another item, Elvebak announced that no candidates have yet to apply for the open police officer position. The deadline is Wednesday, Sept. 27.

The Green Isle City Council will hold its next regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26. Ringing church bells has been family tradition for 125 years By Kurt Menk Editor Ringing the bells at St. John’s Lutheran Church, rural Arlington, has been a tradition for the Nagel and Schneider families for the past 125 years. The two bells were installed in the old church, located northwest of the current church, in 1892. One bell weighs 2,400 pounds while the other bell weighs 2,000 pounds. The bells bear the name of the congregation and are in- scribed with Bible passages. The heavier bell has the “Glory to God in the highest” inscription. The inscription on the lighter bell is “Faith, Hope, Charity.” Howard Schneider’s grand- father, Martin Nagel, was the first bell ringer at the original church. Martin, who also served as the custodian at the church, would walk about one mile from his farm to the church early every Sunday morning. His family would arrive later prior to the church service. The bells were brought from the original church to the current church when it was built in 1915. Howard’s uncle, Victor Nagel, eventually took over the duty and rang the bells until 1945. Howard’s father, Harry Schneider, was next in line and rang the bells until the early 1980s. During the first 80-plus years, it was the tradition to ring one bell one hour before the church service and both bells at the start of the church service. “They would also toll one bell during the Lord’s Prayer,” said Howard. “That’s some- thing we still do today.” Howard and his brother, Roger Schneider, changed off and rang the bells until just a few years ago. Howard and his son, Wayne, currently ring the bells for church services and funerals. “It’s just down to Dad and me for now,” said Wayne. Other church members will also ring the bells when Howard and Wayne are not available. The bells are also rung for a death of a church member. The bells are sounded accord- ing to the age of the deceased parishioner at the time of their death. A special ceremony to rec- ognize the 125th anniversary of the bells will be held at St. John’s Lutheran Church dur- ing the church service at 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 24.

The Minnesota Prairie Lineand Minnesota Valley Re-gional Rail Authority are cel-ebrating 15 years of rail serv-ice after the reopening bysponsoring special events inFranklin on Friday, Sept. 22to thank its customers and thecommunities it serves whohave helped make the rail-road a success.
In January 2002, the Min-nesota Prairie Line (MPL)was established as theagent/operator of a 94-milerail line that serves communi-ties between Norwood YoungAmerica, Minn. and HanleyFalls, Minn. This line isowned by the Minnesota Val-ley Regional Railroad Au-thority (MVRRA). The MPLis a wholly owned subsidiaryof the Twin Cities & WesternRailroad (TC&W).
The rail line provides agateway to world markets forits rural communities. Lastyear (2016), customer prod-ucts were shipped to/fromover 40 U.S. states, Canada,
and Mexico, as well as over-seas export markets.
MPL customers and com-munities have access to allClass 1 railroads serving theMinneapolis/St. Paul area(BNSF Railway, CN Railway,Canadian Pacific Railway,and Union Pacific RailroadCompany), and major Missis-sippi River facilities in theMinneapolis/St. Paul area.Various transloading sitesalong the rail line allow thosenot located directly on rail allthe advantages of shipping byrail.
Since 2002, the first 34miles of rail line has been im-proved with segments ofheavier rail, and thousands ofnew rail ties with fundingfrom several sources, includ-ing the State of Minnesota,MVRRA, shippers, alongwith contributions fromTC&W and federal sources.Future plans include addingheavier rail to the remaining60 miles so the entire 94 milerail line can handle today’s
freight rail standards.Being a publicly-owned
rail line, collaboration withthe various stakeholders hasbeen key to the line’s contin-ued success. MPL works inpartnership with the MVRRAand many other stakeholdersto improve the rail line, andprovide enhanced rail serviceto its communities and cus-tomers. This in turn has led toprivate investment in railserved facilities, adding jobsto this corridor.
“We especially want tothank the customers and com-munities along the line andtheir elected representativeswho have helped to provide apositive business environ-ment, which led to invest-ment and jobs,” noted MPLPresident Mark Wegner.“This has allowed MPL tooffer responsive and efficientrail service that is essential torural America and attractsnew business development.”

*****A pastor was leaving his church,
and stood at the doors to sayfarewell to his congregation for thelast time. He shook the hand of anelderly lady as she walked out.
“Your successor won’t be as goodas you.” she told him.
“Nonsense,” replied the pastor, ina somewhat flattered tone.
“No really,” said the woman.“I’ve lived through five ministers,and each one has been worse thanthe last.”
*****A young woman moved into a
new neighborhood. The next morn-ing while they were eating breakfast,the young woman saw her neighborhanging the wash outside.
“That laundry is not very clean,”the young woman said. “She doesn’tknow how to wash correctly. Per-haps she needs better laundry soap.”
Her husband looked on, but re-mained silent.
Every time her neighbor wouldhang her wash to dry, the youngwoman would make the same com-ments.
About one month later, the womanwas surprised to see a nice cleanwash on the line and said to her hus-band, “Look, she has learned how towash correctly. I wonder who taughther this?”
The husband said, “I got up earlythis morning and cleaned our win-dows.”
And so it is with life. What wesee when watching others dependson the purity of the windowthrough which we look.
*****David figured out a way to re-
member his wife’s birthday and theirwedding anniversary. He opened anaccount with a florist and told him tosend flowers to his wife on thosedates, along with a note signed,“Your loving husband.”
His wife was thrilled by the at-tention, and all was great until oneanniversary. Joe came home, sawthe bouquet, kissed his wife, andsaid, “Nice flowers.Where’d youget them?”

Elected city officials settheir preliminary tax levies
Our View: Don’t be alarmed. Preliminary tax leviesusually decrease before final tax levies are approvedIt happens every year. The headlines in the local newspa-
per state that local and area elected city officials have ap-proved an increase in their respective preliminary tax levies.As a result, some local and area residents are shocked andget upset about the hike to their local property taxes.
Even though the accompanying article states that the goalof these elected city officials is to decrease their respectivepreliminary tax levies before final approval, some peoplestill believe the first figure they see in a headline is going tobe the same rate in the end.
That is normally not the case in the communities of Ar-lington and Green Isle.
Last year, for example, the Arlington City Council ap-proved a 4.2 percent increase in its preliminary tax levy, butarrived at a 2.5 percent hike when the final tax levy was ap-proved.
The Green Isle City Council, last year, approved a 3.1 per-cent increase in its preliminary tax levy, but reduced it to2.19 percent when the final tax levy was approved.
In the recent past, both City Councils have approved zeropercent increases in their final tax levies.
The city councils in Arlington and Green Isle normally settheir respective preliminary tax levy at a higher rate to givethemselves a little wiggle room. In the end, however, thesesame elected city officials usually decrease the amountwhen their respective final tax levy is approved.
With rising costs and projects always on the horizon, how-ever, it may be difficult for these elected officials to hoverat or near a zero percent increase this year.
Whatever the case in either community, citizens will havean opportunity to voice their concerns during the truth intaxation public hearings in December.

Guest Column
By Glenn GruenhagenState RepresentativeR-Glencoe
As we begin a new school year, Iwant to alert parents to some impor-tant information on an issue that iscurrently being promoted in someMinnesota schools.
On July 19, 2017, the “Toolkit”for Ensuring Safe and SupportiveSchools for Transgender and GenderNon-conforming Students wasadopted by the Minnesota SchoolSafety Technical Assistance Council(SSTAC). The SSTAC, a committeeunder the Minnesota Department ofEducation (MDE), created the docu-ment to “assist schools” and offer“guidance,” claiming these “poli-cies” and “best practices” will en-sure a safe and supportive environ-ment for all students.
As with many past educationalexperiments promoted by the MDE,the results will be just the oppositeof the title and will, in fact, endan-ger and violate the privacy andhealth of all students in publicschools. The Toolkit is another at-tempt by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisex-ual and transsexual) activists toforce all school staff and students toembrace their unscientific and mis-guided agenda. Under the guise ofanti-bullying policy, they have be-come the bullies, violating the rightsand privacy of children and under-mining the parent-child relationship,which is critical for children'shealth, well-being and success.
The Toolkit encourages schools toadopt policies that direct all staffand students to refer to transgenderstudents by their preferred pronouns.According to the Toolkit, students’genders are no longer determined bytheir DNA but by their personal
feelings. Defining a student by theirpreferred “gender identity” is notbased on science or biology, but in-stead on feelings, which can changedaily.
The Toolkit also recommends thatschools allow transgender studentsto use locker rooms, showers andrestrooms based on their perceivedidentity. This violates student priva-cy and grossly violates Minnesotalaw MS 626.556 Subd 1.
It is important for the public tounderstand that there is currently nostate or federal legal basis to imple-ment this Toolkit. This Toolkit wasdeveloped and adopted by a com-mittee comprised of gender activistgroups and not by elected officials.
The Minnesota School Board As-sociation has published a briefingfor Minnesota schools confirmingthat directives such as the MDE’sToolkit “do not carry the force oflaw.”
There is confirmed evidence thatthe MDE, with the support of Gov.Dayton, has developed and is pro-moting transgender curriculum intothe public schools that teaches chil-dren as young as age 5 that they canchoose whether they are a boy or agirl, based on their feelings. It is ofgrave concern to me that the MDE ispromoting unscientific and emotion-ally harmful curriculum in our pub-lic schools.
According to the American Psy-chiatric Association, transgenderchildren suffer from “gender dys-phoria,” which is a treatable mentalcondition. It could be likened to theperson suffering from anorexia, whosees a fat person in the mirror, whenin actuality they are dangerously un-derweight. No truly caring individ-ual would encourage the anorexic
person to go on a diet and furtherdestroy their body. The compassion-ate response is to get them the helpthey need and understand that theyare suffering from an unhealthy anddangerous delusion.
Yet, in some Minnesota schooldistricts, gender-confused studentsare being encouraged to be injectedwith cross sex hormones that willhave severe side effects, includingcancer and sterility. Many will con-tinue down this path and seek irrev-ocable mutilating surgery eventhough their DNA can never bechanged.
Dr. Michelle Cretella, President ofthe American College of Pediatri-cians has stated, “When kids saythey think they have been born inthe wrong body, they are crying outfor help, and rushing them down theroad to hormones and surgery isakin to child abuse.”
Parents, talk to your school boardmembers and administrators and re-spectfully let them know you opposeany implementation of the policiesrecommended by the Toolkit intoyour school.
Citizens should also contact Gov.Dayton (800-657-3717) and MDECommissioner Cassellius (651-582-8200) to tell them to rescind theToolkit and stop these efforts to co-erce and bully teachers, parents andchildren into embracing a false reali-ty that is not grounded in biology orscience. Responsible adults willdemonstrate love and compassionfor gender-confused students by get-ting them the help they desperatelyneed to accept their biological sex.
May the God who gave us life andliberty help us stop this pervertedand dangerous attack on our chil-dren.
Beware of Toolkit implementation

Kenn Mueller and JonHarbarth came before theSibley East School Boardon Monday night, Sept. 18.Mueller and Harbarthasked if the school wouldconsider making the trapteam an accepted sport.The Sibley East Trap Team,according to Mueller, iscurrently considered a club.
Mueller said there were58 shooters at Sibley Eastlast year. He also statedthat they do not receive anyfunds from the school forthe trap team and they werenot looking for any. Stu-dents pay $125 toward the$300 cost to participate.The rest is given to themby organizations like theGaylord Game ProtectiveLeague.
Mueller also requestedthat the trap team be fea-tured in the school year-book. The trap team did notget a picture in the 2016yearbook because theywere not notified in timeabout the deadlines. In ad-dition, Mueller requestedmore communication withthe school.

Duck hunting is expected tobe good when Minnesota’sregular waterfowl seasonopens a half-hour before sun-rise on Saturday, Sept. 23.
“The number of breedingducks in Minnesota and NorthAmerica has been good in re-cent years, so we’re optimisticthat will result in a good duckseason,” said Steve Cordts,waterfowl specialist with theDepartment of Natural Re-sources. “Wetland habitat con-ditions and wild rice lakes arein pretty good shape. Canadagoose populations remainhigh as well, so there’s lots ofopportunity to hunt geese thisfall.”

• In the south zone, duckseason is Sept. 23 throughOct. 1, closes for 12 days,then reopens Saturday, Oct.14, and runs through Sunday,Dec. 3.
The daily duck bag limit re-mains six per day. The mal-lard bag limit remains four perday, including no more thantwo hen mallards. The dailybag limits are three for woodduck and scaup; and two forredheads, canvasbacks andblack ducks and one for pin-tails.
The DNR will post a week-ly waterfowl migration reporteach week during the duckseason. The reports are typi-cally posted on Thursday af-ternoon at mndnr.gov/hunt-ing/waterfowl.

‘Make An Oskar Box’ workshop on Oct. 7The Arlington Historical
Society will conduct a “MakeAn Oskar Box” workshop forchildren ages 8-13 at 9 a.m.Saturday, Oct. 7.
The workshop will be heldat the Arlington MunicipalParking Lot at West MainStreet and Fourth Avenue nearthe Arlington Museum. Partic-ipants in the workshop will berequired to bring their ownhammer and safety glassesand must have a parent to as-sist with the project.
The simple, but unique,Oskar Box is named for OskarAltnow, the Arlington wood-
worker (sawyer, lumberman,cabinetmaker, house builder,etc.) who devised the firstboxes. Because of its uniquedimensions, the Oskar Boxhas many uses around thehome and workshop. Manypeople who saw the value ofthe box copied the pattern andmade their own.
The workshop will give thestudents an opportunity tocopy a piece of local historyand learn the story behind thisunique tool. The best part isthat each student will keep theOskar Box he or she assem-bles.
Because of the amount ofmaterials necessary for thisworkshop, the number of stu-dents will be limited with theclosing date for the workshopapplications on Friday, Sept.29.
For more information onthe “Make An Oskar Box”workshop and an applicationblank, visit the Arlington Mu-seum from 9 a.m. to noonSaturday, Sept. 16.
Application blanks are alsoavailable at the ArlingtonPublic Library.
The Highway 99 Minneso-ta River Bridge at St. Peter isexpected to remain closed forconstruction until the firstweek in December. Trafficwill continue to be detouredto Highway 22 and Le SueurCounty Road 21 until theproject is complete.
MnDOT and the contractor,Kraemer North AmericaLLC, have been discussingvarious options to assure thework is completed yet thisyear. The structural repairsare complete. The final phaseof construction work includesremoval of the existing leadpaint down to bare metal andthe reapplication of a newprime/paint system. Addition-al options under considera-tion for completing the final
phase of construction includeheating the enclosed bridgeas well as bringing in addi-tional people to complete thework.
The rehabilitation of thehistoric bridge was originallyscheduled to be completedOct. 31. However, unplannedextra work has caused thecompletion to be pushedback. “When working on ahistoric bridge, you’re goingto run into unexpected issuesincluding additional steel re-pairs,” said MnDOT con-struction lead Todd Kjolstad.“Those repairs include fabri-cating new steel parts andthose take time to arrive onsite”
The project includes pre-serving the 1931 historic
bridge by strengthening thetruss floor beams, repairingthe piers and abutment,adding riprap (rocks) aroundabutments, replacing thebridge deck and sidewalk,adding new lights and re-painting the structure theoriginal color of a dark green.
The project was awarded toKraemer North America LLCin December 2016 with a bidof $4,416,517. Constructionwork started in March 2017.The project webcam to viewconstruction progress can beviewed at http://www.dot.-state.mn.us/d7/projects/hwy99stpeter/.
