Arlington ENTERPRISE Serving the Communities of Arlington and Green Isle, Minnesota www.arlingtonmnnews.com Volume 132 • Number 18 • Thursday, November 12, 2015 • Arlington, MN 55307 Single copy $1.00 By Kurt Menk Editor A motion by the Sibley East Public Schools for civil contempt and damages against surety bond against rural Gaylord resident Nathan Kranz will be heard in Sibley County District Court in Gay- lord at 9 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16. Sibley East will ask the court for that order in connec- tion with Kranz’s failure to obey the court’s amended order for surety bond and for a fine and/or damages to off- set the increased costs that will ultimately be borne by the school district’s taxpayers as a result of the contestant’s protracted litigation. Knutson, Flynn & Deans, P.A., which is representing Sibley East, said in a news re- lease, “The motion seeks an award of $2,903,424, the ad- ditional cost to the school dis- trict over the life of the bonds as computed by the school district’s financial consultant. The voter-approved bonds were scheduled to be sold by Jan. 14, 2015, but were de- layed by appeals filed by Nathan Kranz until June 10, 2015.” Knutson, Flynn & Deans, P.A., continued, “In an at- tempt to reduce the financial impact of Mr. Kranz’s con- duct upon the taxpayers, the school district has filed a mo- tion seeking to recover the in- creased costs related to the bond sale. Had Mr. Kranz ob- tained the surety bond or- dered by the court, the school district would have at a mini- mum been assured to recover a portion of the costs. With- out the surety bond, the school district has no assur- ance of any recovery and it would be a disservice to the school district’s taxpayers to do nothing. Mr. Kranz had the opportunity to limit the potential losses, but steadfast- ly did everything that he could to cause delay which resulted in substantially in- creased cost to school district taxpayers.” Kranz Erick Kaardal, who is rep- resenting Kranz, has sent a summons to Sibley East with a Notice of Motion and Mo- tion for Rule 11 Sanctions. Kranz is seeking attorney fees as sanctions under Rule 11 of the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure against Sib- ley East. The motion is based upon the recent filing of a motion for civil contempt and for damages filed by Sibley East. Sibley East is seeking a post-judgment order for civil contempt and damages on the district court’s amended order dated Jan. 22 which the appel- late court adjudicated as moot, according to the motion Sibley East-Kranz Continued on page 3 SE, Kranz matters will be heard in court Nov. 16 By Amy Newsom Correspondent At the regular Sibley Coun- ty Board meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, the Board approved a resolution which states that Sibley County endorses the following revisions to the Minnesota County Program Aid formula: a funding in- crease of $40 million, the cre- ation of a floor that guaran- tees each county $350,000 in tax-base equalization aid, ad- justments to the tax-base equalization formula factors to slow down counties’ loss of tax-base equalization aid, the elimination of special funds and transition aid, and the creation of a five percent cap on annual county pro- gram aid losses ensuring no county lose more than five percent of its funding each year. Since 2005, County Pro- gram Aid has been calculated by two formulas, need aid and tax-base equalization aid. Need aid is calculated 40 per- cent based on a county’s share of the total population over age 65, 40 percent based on its share of the number of households receiving food stamps, and 20 percent on its share of the average number of Part I crimes (violent crimes against another per- son) reported in the state. Tax-based equalization aid is calculated at 100 percent when $185 x the county’s population exceeds 9.45 per- cent of the adjusted net tax capacity. This formula is ad- justed for population and not all counties receive tax-base equalization aid. Seven counties who re- ceived less aid under the post-2004 formula also quali- fy for transition aid. The seven counties’ transition aid amount is permanently fixed at one-third of the amount re- ceived in 2005. Sibley Coun- ty does not qualify for transi- tion aid. The state of Minnesota began reducing County Pro- gram Aid payments in 2008 due to state budget cuts. Sib- ley County received $249,886 in County Program Aid in 2015 and will receive only $197,434 in 2016. County Program Aid is necessary to fund services that are mandated by the state of Minnesota, such as human services, public safety, and transportation. The State Legislature will have to pass the funding increase of $40 million as well as the changes to legislation. Chair Pinske said that it is “important that we talk to our legislators.” Lutheran Social Services Update Sarah Anderson, Assistant Director of Sibley West, pre- sented the Sibley County Board with the Lutheran So- cial Services of Minnesota (LSS) update on November 10. Anderson reported that LSS will be celebrating their 150-year anniversary at the Gibbon Community Center on Thursday, Dec. 10. The anniversary dinner will con- sist of a pork loin meal. LSS provides congregate dining options in Gaylord, Gibbon, and Henderson and provides home delivery or Meals on Wheels services in those cities as well as Arling- ton, Green Isle and Winthrop. Meals on Wheels recipients receive only the number of meals that they would like; they do not have to receive deliveries every time. Sen- iors can also take out a hot meal from a congregate loca- tion if they choose not to stay and socialize. Arlington and Green Isle do not have con- gregate meal locations, but seniors can come to the Gay- lord Forever Young Senior Center or use the Meals on Wheels program. Anderson also reported that LSS is enrolling three Ameri- Corps members for its new caregiver support and respite program. The volunteers pro- vide reassurance and com- panionship to those in need of care so that family caregivers can have a much-needed break. Volunteers receive a $200 monthly living al- lowance plus qualify for a $1,527 education award to be used for further education. Those 55 and older can gift that education money to a child or a grandchild.

Arlington is one of the 12member communities of theMinnesota Municipal PowerAgency (MMPA) that cantake pride in the nationalrecognition awarded to theAgency’s Hometown BioEn-ergy facility in Le Sueur asthe “Biogas Project of theYear” presented by the Amer-ican Biogas Council.
Based in Washington D.C.,the American Biogas Coun-cil, a trade association repre-senting the U.S. biogas indus-try, is dedicated to creatingjobs, environmental sustain-ability and energy independ-ence by growing the Ameri-can biogas industry.
MMPA’s HometownBioEnergy facility uses theanaerobic digestion processto produce renewable elec-tricity from food processingand agricultural waste. Elec-tricity generated frommethane gas can be dis-patched to the local distribu-tion system at times of high-est demand.
According to SteveSchmidt, MMPA chairman
and City of Anoka councilmember, “We’re very proudof this award because it rec-ognizes the innovation builtinto Hometown BioEnergy,where we produce methaneand store it, ready to burn inour generators during on-peak hours when the value ofthe energy is highest.”
Schmidt said energy pro-duced in the facility is distrib-uted directly into the City ofLe Sueur electrical system,and is an important compo-nent of MMPA’s renewableenergy portfolio – all de-signed to help MMPA com-munities meet Minnesota’srenewable energy productionrequirements.
“This biogas facility, be-cause of its ability to storebiogas until it’s needed, is anexcellent complement to re-newable power generatedfrom wind or solar,” he said.
Patrick Serfass, ExecutiveDirector of the AmericanBiogas Council said in anews release announcing theaward, “The quality of inno-vation in the biogas industry
is at a fever pitch today.”Hometown BioEnergy was
also recognized by POWERmagazine as a 2014 Top Re-newable Plant and was fea-tured on the cover of the De-cember 2014 magazine.
Schmidt said, “The Home-town BioEnergy facility in LeSueur is an important factorin MMPA’s mission to pro-vide reliable, competitively-priced energy to members,while meeting renewable en-ergy standards.”
More information aboutMMPA is available atwww.mmpa.org. Membersinclude municipal utilities inAnoka, Arlington, Brownton,Buffalo, Chaska, East GrandForks, Elk River, Le Sueur,North St. Paul, Olivia,Shakopee and Winthrop.MMPA’s management partneris Avant Energy, a Minneapo-lis-based energy managementcompany and an innovativesupplier of energy project de-velopment, management,trading, consulting and utilityoperations services.
City of Arlington shares in recent Biogas Project of the Year Award
by Kaardal.The motion by Sibley East
“lacks a basis in fact and inlaw and seeks merely to ha-rass” Kranz with “unreason-able and vexatious litigationafter judgment, and after allappellate remedies expired orwere waived by the SchoolDistrict,” according to themotion by Kaardal.
“Rule 11 sanctions for attor-
ney fees are justified becauseof the frivolous nature of themotion filing and because thefiling was done in bad faith,”
In conclusion, the motionrequests the district court todirect Sibley East to pay theattorney’s fees and costs fordefending the motion for con-tempt, for damages and for at-torney’s fees and costs for fil-ing the Rule 11 motion and
supporting documents andany other relief the courtdeems justified.
Kranz will move the districtcourt for sanctions under Rule11 of the Minnesota Rules ofCivil Procedure at the samehearing in Gaylord on Mon-day, Nov. 16.

OpinionsSibley East hosts a
wonderful Veterans Dayprogram each year
Our View: It’s a shame more peopledon’t attend this event
Guest Column
The Sibley East Senior High School, for a coupledecades, has hosted a wonderful Veterans Day programeach year.
The program honors and recognizes those people whohave served in this country’s armed forces. These veteranshave given their time and effort to keep this country safeand enable it to be the leader of the world’s free nations.The program also passes that appreciation and admirationon to the younger generation.
The program features a blend of local veterans and seniorhigh students. The VFW/American Legion Color Guardsfrom the communities participate in the program as well ascurrent students who are Army National Guard membersand Boys/Girls State representatives. Music by the SibleyEast Senior High Choir and Sibley East Senior High Bandadds to the program.
Although some people in the communities faithfully at-tend this program every year, it is a shame that more resi-dents do not take the time to frequent this event each year.There are a lot of chairs that sit empty in the gym everyyear.
Of course, it is always important to remember that honor-ing veterans does not mean speaking their praises andholding programs one day a year.
To truly honor veterans is to treat them with respect, sup-port the full funding of all veteran-related programs, andback their events/causes 365 days a year. Our veteransgave their best when they served us. They deserve our bestin return.

*****An especially self-righteous mem-
ber of the local church was tellingthe pastor that he was consideringnot attending church because he feltthere were too many hypocrites inthe congregation.
“That’s okay,” the ministerreplied. “There’s always room forone more.”
*****A Sunday School teacher asked
her class how Noah spent his time inthe ark. The youngsters seemed baf-fled. “Do you suppose, with all thewater around him, he did a lot offishing?” she asked.
“Ha,” one child replied, “Withonly two worms?”
*****“Too bad you flunked the test,”
said a high school student. “Tell me
how far were you from the right an-swers?”
The other student replied, “Twoseats!”
*****A problem child was becoming
too well acquainted with the princi-pal’s office. One day the principalremarked with annoyance. “Thismakes the fifth time I’ve punishedyou this week. What do you have tosay for yourself?”
“I’m glad it’s Friday,” the childquickly replied.
*****Expecting the world to treat you
fairly because you are a good per-son is a little like expecting thebull not to attack you because youare a vegetarian.
*****A truck driver pulled into a truck
stop for a bite to eat. He ordered acheeseburger, a slice of pie and acup of coffee.
A few minutes later, three men onmotorcycles also pulled into thetruck stop. The first man walked inand grabbed the truck driver ’scheeseburger. The second cyclisttook his pie and a third grabbed hiscoffee.
The truck driver didn’t say a word.He got up, paid the bill and walkedoutside.
“That truck driver sure doesn’thave any guts.” the first motorcycledriver told the waitress.
“He can’t drive either,” repliedthe waitress. “He just ran overthree motorcycles.”
*****The best after-dinner speaker is
the fellow who says, “Waiter,bring me the check.”
*****Despite his best sales pitch, a life
insurance salesman was unable toget a couple to sign up for a policy.
“I certainly don’t want to fright-en you into a decision,” he an-nounced, standing up to leave.“Please sleep on it tonight, and ifyou wake up in the morning, letme know what you think.”
*****A well-adjusted person is one
who makes the same mistake twicewithout getting nervous.

By Glenn MolletteAging Americans within a few
years of collecting Social Securityare concerned. Will governmentleaders push the retirement age to 68or even 70? Will the current prom-ised benefits be slashed ten, twentypercent or even more? The govern-ment continues collecting Social Se-curity but some politicians are say-ing it will be impossible to pay outwhat has been promised with fewerpeople paying into the system. Evenmore frightening is that the SocialSecurity Administration is sayingthe same thing.
While we are told that we are liv-ing longer, how many millions ofpeople will pay into Social Securitybut never live long enough to collecta penny? The government hopes ifthey can raise the age then a fewmore million people will never liveto collect. Or, possibly a few moremillion will not collect it very long.
Americans still have to fear dis-ease. People still die from cancer,
diabetes and neurological diseasesevery day. Heart disease still com-monly adds to the ranks of death.When was the last time we heard anannouncement that a cure for any-thing had been discovered?
We fear medical bills. Enormousmedical bills are still the biggestreason Americans are filing bank-ruptcy.
We fear the cost of education.Most all parents want a better lifefor their kids but education only be-comes a burden of debt to parentsand students. Who is trying to help?We don't need bigger and longerloans. We need affordable educa-tion.
Millions of Americans haveworked their lives for promised pen-sions that are in question. Many ofthese pension funds are broke andmillions of dollars in debt. There isa growing horror that what waspromised is not going to be there.
With all our financial, education-al, medical and golden year fears we
can throw in a few more fears. Wehave terrorism from the Middle Eastto our local movie theatre. Publicschools struggle with carrying outtheir mission due to funding,salaries, bullying and tensions fromvarying sources. Poverty is growing.So many people have given up andhave committed themselves to a lifeof welfare, which essentially is a lifeof depression and living with almostnothing. All the while our communi-ties are changing. People from allover the world are flooding intoAmerica and changing every cornerof our country. They are working forevery dollar they can make andseem to be happy.
As millions of Americans go tobed tonight fewer may be sweetdreaming and more wrestling withthe same nightmares shared by toomany Americans.

Are Americans sweet dreaming or having nightmares

In a sign that deer popula-tions are rebounding, archersthis year harvested 41 percentmore deer in two hunts atCamp Ripley Military Reser-vation near Little Falls.
“A more successful hunt atCamp Ripley is good newsfor Minnesota deer huntersbecause it’s another sign thatdeer populations are on theupswing,” said Steve Mer-chant, wildlife populationsand regulations programmanager. “Deer numbers inmost of the state are on therise after a milder winter andfewer does and fawns har-vested statewide last year.”
The first two-day CampRipley hunt took place onOct. 15-16; the second onOct. 31 and Nov. 1. Total har-vest in both hunts combinedwas 204 deer, a 41 percent in-crease from last year. In addi-tion, the buck harvest was 37percent of the total harvest inthe first hunt and 67 percentin the second hunt.
Total buck harvest doubledfrom last year. In both huntscombined, 2,723 hunters par-ticipated this year. Huntersuccess rates were also upsignificantly, and trackingvery well with how huntersuccess rates rebounded inthe past after conservativeseasons following severewinters. In 2014 in both huntscombined, there were 145deer taken with 2,966 huntersparticipating.
“Not only were there moredeer harvested this year, butlike in some previous years,we again had a long list ofbig bucks weighed, witheight over 200 pounds and
several more approachingthat weight,” Merchant said.“There were smiles allaround from these folks, andwe’re glad that the traditioncontinues of Camp Ripleybeing a truly special hunt forthose hoping to get close to abig buck.”
Second hunt big bucksFor the Oct. 31 to Nov. 1
hunt, archers took a two-daytotal of 115 deer, up 64 per-cent from last year. The buckharvest was up 167 percentcompared to last year’s sec-ond hunt. There were 2,000permits issued for the secondhunt, with 1,507 hunters par-ticipating.
Jeffrey Kugler of Erhardtook the largest buck regis-tered during the second hunt,tipping the scales at 239pounds. Hunters registeringother bucks over 200 poundsincluded Joel Kuebelbeck ofMcGregor (212 pounds),Mark Studniski of Avon (211pounds), Evan Boman ofHoward Lake (207 pounds),Terry Scheiber of Annandale(207 pounds), and AdamTschumperlin of Sartell (201pounds).
Of adult does registered,the largest weighed in at 133pounds, taken by Chad Virnigof Royalton. Derek Aspin-wall-Brun of St. Cloud regis-tered a doe nearly as big,weighing 131 pounds.

Minnesota firearms huntersregistered 68,401 deer duringthe first three days offirearms deer season, accord-ing to the Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources.
“Hunters are seeing moredeer this year as we continueto build deer populationsacross much of the state,”said Steve Merchant, wildlife
populations and regulationsprogram manager. “We’ve is-sued a conservative numberof antlerless deer permits, andbecause of this, many huntersare seeing deer they can’tshoot. However, patience thisyear should translate to moreharvest opportunities in thefuture.”
Final numbers from the
first three days show that thenumber of deer registeredrose 6.3 percent from 2014.Buck harvest during the firstthree days of the firearmsseason was up 8.5 percentfrom last year.
Zone 1 total firearms har-vest was up 8.2 percent, Zone2 was up 5.9 percent andZone 3 was up 3.2 percent.
The DNR is projecting the2015 total deer harvest to bebetween 140,000 to 155,000deer. The 2014 total harvestafter last year’s conservativeseason was just over 139,000.
In much of Minnesota, thedeer season continuesthrough Sunday, Nov. 15. Ad-ditional deer will be harvest-ed during the northern riflezone season, which continuesthrough Sunday, Nov. 22; thelate southeastern season,which runs Saturday, Nov.21, through Sunday, Nov. 29;and the muzzleloader season,which begins Saturday, Nov.28, and continues throughSunday, Dec. 13.
New this year, hunters canpreview an interactive deerinformation tool being devel-oped by the DNR on the deermap page. This map is thefirst step toward launching anonline application that deliv-ers useful information huntersneed and want. Hunters areencouraged to take a look atthe application, discuss it andprovide DNR with feedback.More information on deermanagement can be found onthe deer page.

The Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources recom-mends taking steps to helpyard trees survive the winter.
“Make sure your trees arehealthy when winter arrivesby taking action now,” saidJennifer Teegarden, DNRforestry outreach specialist.“When conditions are dry,soak the soil around your treeweekly with water until theground freezes to prevent thetree’s branch tips from dryingout.”
Teegarden also suggests thefollowing:
• Wrap the trunk of young,thin-barked trees such asmaple and honeylocust withcommercial tree wrap or plas-
tic tree guards to prevent frostcracks. Trunks can heat up inthe sun and quickly freezewhen temperatures drop,causing the bark to crack. Re-move wrap or guard in thespring.
• Remove tall grass aroundthe tree’s trunk to discouragerodents from feeding on bark.
• Rake and remove fallenleaves and needles to reducefungal diseases that can infectnew growth the followingyear.
• Protect the roots of newlyplanted trees from freezingby spreading a 2- to 4-inchlayer of mulch around thetree’s trunk, keeping themulch off the trunk.
• Wrap burlap around smallconiferous trees to protect theneedles from drying out whenexposed to the sun, wind androad salt spray.
• Prune trees to removemultiple stems and weakbranches that can fail duringa heavy snow or ice storm.Contact a certified arboristfor help or to answer ques-tions.
Trees that are suited forlocal growing conditionshave a better chance of sur-viving the winter. Considerthis in the spring when select-ing trees to plant.

Blessings[ Do Not Love the World ] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR CENTERPOINT ENERGY MINNESOTA CUSTOMERSCenterPoint Energy has asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to increase its rates for natural gas distribution service. The requested increase is for $54.1 million, or about 6.4 percent per year. The requested increase would add about $5.15 to a typical residential customer’s monthly bill.
CenterPoint Energy requested the rate changes described in this notice. The MPUC may either grant or deny the requested changes, in whole or in part, and may grant a lesser or greater increase than that requested for any class or classes of service.
The MPUC will likely make its decision on our rate request in the summer of 2016. If final rates are lower than interim rates, we will refund customers the difference with interest. If final rates are higher than interim rates, we will not charge customers the difference.

At the time the Adopted Budget was approved for FY 2016, the District was in the midst of a lawsuit to contest the building referendum vote of November 2014. Therefore, the District did not budget for the Building Construction Fund or Debt Service Fund. Budget amounts for these funds will be included in our FY 2016 Revised Budget which is approved in the Spring of 2016.
