of the business as it continuedto grow. In 1990, Nick’sgreat grandson, Richard, tookover Thomes Brothers Hard-ware and has continued thefamily hardware tradition.Richard’s son, Brian, is nowthe fifth generation of theThomes family in the hard-ware business.

Write-In Campaign

Despite the loss by onevote, Nytes informed the Ar-lington Enterprise that heplans to run “an aggressivewrite-in campaign” duringthe General Election.

Nytes said only 19 percentof the voters turned out at thepolls during the PrimaryElection. He said a number ofpeople did not vote and werenot heard from on that day.

“After the election, I haddozens, if not hundreds ofpeople come up to me andtell me they didn’t bother vot-ing because they thought Iwould win easily,” Nytes wasquoted in the Henderson In-dependent. “I can understand,though. It’s the middle ofsummer, the Car Roll-In wasgoing on at the time and thecounty commissioner racewasn’t on people’s mind.”

Sibley County Commis-sioners tabled decisions ontwo potential policy creationsat the meeting on Tuesday,Aug. 26.

County Administrator MattJaunich presented an amend-ed employee classificationand compensation guidelinesand procedures policy.

Jaunich also brought fortha proposed motor vehiclenoise ordinance with the helpof County Attorney DavidSchauer after hearing com-plaints from residents at theAug. 12 board meeting.

In both cases, the proposalswere tabled for future consid-eration. The employee com-pensation guideline issue wastabled until the next meetingon Sept. 9, mainly to getinput from Commissioner JimSwanson, who was not at themeeting.

The vehicle noise ordi-nance was referred to theplanning and zoning board.County Commissioner BillPinske said it is a legitimatecomplaint, but the board hasto make sure it does it rightby consulting with Jeff Ma-jeski, Environmental ServicesDirector.

Schauer presented a pro-posed Article 531 for the Sib-ley County Code. He used theLeague of Minnesota CitiesModel Ordinance as thebackbone for drafting this or-dinance.

“I would point out thatMinnesota Statute 169.693already regulates motor vehi-cle noise,” said Schauer in aletter to the board. “It appearsto me that this is more an en-forcement issue as we cannothave law enforcementcamped out all the time.”

County Commissioner JoyCohrs asked if the county

could put up signs in theproblem area. Schauer saidthe county would have to gothrough the Minnesota De-partment of Transportationfor approval of any road sign.

County Commissioner JimNytes said the county shouldinform the sheriff about thestate statute.

Regarding the employeeclassification issue, Jaunichsaid the county drafted thecurrent policy in 2005. Sincethen the county has run intoinconsistency in the policies,primarily because of staffpromotions and changes.

Jaunich said the update isto ensure these issues don’thappen anymore. He addedan employee compensationstudy is being done and theremay be more updates neededdown the road when it is fin-

Trailblazer Transit can’t getservice on the road fastenough in Wright County, itsJoint Powers Board heardThursday morning.

Trailblazer Executive As-sistant, Cindy Posivio, toldthe Board that Trailblazerprovided at least 3,750 rideson three buses in its firstmonth of operation in WrightCounty, the month of July.

Those statistics reflectedrides within cities in WrightCounty, not rides in the ruralarea, Posivio said.

“At this pace, we could see45,000 rides on an annualbasis, give or take 5 percent,”said Posivio.

Posivio said Trailblazerbegan a fourth bus route inWright County on Aug. 11,and plans to integrate morebuses into its schedule asdrivers are hired and busessecured.

But because of the current-ly limited service, Trailblazeralso had to turn down about700 requested rides in July,Posivio said.

“That just goes to showthat the need is there,” saidJack Russek, a member of theDelano City Council who at-tended the meeting as a mem-ber of the newly formedWright County Area TransitBoard, a coalition of WrightCounty cities that will partnerwith Trailblazer.

Trailblazer Joint PowersBoard Member Jim Swansonsaid he hopes that membercities are helping riders un-derstand that there will be atransition period.

“I just hope that it’s beingrelayed that we’re just getting

started,” said Swanson.While the high number of

requested rides shows a posi-tive response to Trailblazer,the expansion of service hasput a lot of stress on staff. Inparticular, dispatchers havetaken the brunt of questionsand complaints.

Posivio said the essentialissue is that Trailblazer runsunder a different model thanRiver Rider, the former tran-sit system in Wright County.

“Some people are accus-tomed to other service,” saidPosivio. “They think they’regoing to get a taxi service, soto say, and they’re gettingpublic transit instead.”

As an example, Posiviosaid some people try to flagdown Trailblazer buses.

“River Rider did flagdowns,” said Posivio. “Ourpolicy is not to do that” be-cause of record keeping andscheduled rides.

Posivio said that RiverRider also provided exclusiverides to preschools. However,public transit, by law, cannotrestrict service to certaingroups unless there is a con-tracted service, she said.

But parents of preschoolersare reluctant to place theirstudents on buses with otherpeople.

“It’s come to the point ofbeing threatened with litiga-tion,” said Posivio.

She said the dispatchers areworking hard to educate theriders how the Trailblazersystem works.

Klea Rettmann, dispatchmanager, agreed.

“It’s an educationalprocess,” said Rettmann, whosaid that dispatchers are han-dling complaints well. “We’retrained to be personable, not

personal.”While there have been

complaints, there also havebeen compliments, said Po-sivio, especially on thefriendliness of the drivers,timeliness and the cleanlinessof the buses.

“The brunt of the com-plaints come to the dispatch-ers; the drivers get the com-pliments,” she laughed.

Board Member Kermit Ter-linden said that Trailblazerwill get past the bumps of thetransition period.

“It will be a great servicewhen all is said and done,”said Terlinden.

FacilityTrailblazer also has been

looking for a facility to baseits Wright County buses anddrivers.

A purchase agreement on aformer Dodge dealership inBuffalo fell through, said Po-sivio.

Now, the city of Buffalo isworking with its housing au-thority to buy four acres ofland near the city’s publicworks building. If it worksout, the housing authoritywill build a facility similar tothe Trailblazer building inGlencoe, and provide it toTrailblazer on a lease-to-ownagreement.

“We would more or less betaking this building (Glen-coe’s) and putting it on thesite,” said Merton Auger,Buffalo’s city administrator.He said it is hoped that con-struction will begin this fall,with inside work completedover the winter and occupan-cy in spring 2015.

In the meantime, Trailblaz-er will be basing its buses atBuffalo’s public works build-ings, although they will have

to be housed outside.

BusesTrailblazer inherited six

buses from the now dissolvedRiver Rider system, only oneof which passed the Minneso-ta Department of Transporta-tion (MnDOT) inspection,said Ben Armstrong, fleetmanager.

One of the six had to bescrapped, but the engine wassalvaged to be placed in an-other bus. The others will berehabbed. MnDOT also willbe providing funding for ad-ditional buses for WrightCounty service.

WCATFour Wright County cities

— Clearwater, Monticello,Otsego and South Haven —have chosen not to join theWright County Area Transit(WCAT) joint powers agree-ment. Service will not beavailable between or withinthose cities, but will be al-lowed between them andcities that do participate.

The chair and vice chair ofthe WCAT board will becomemembers of the TrailblazerJoint Powers Board in Janu-ary 2015.

In other business, theBoard:

• Heard that Trailblazer Ex-ecutive Director Gary Lud-wig was unable to attend themeeting because of a knee in-jury.

• Heard that Trailblazerwas beginning to replace mo-bile computers on buses withtablets, and is updating itscomputers and dispatchingsoftware as well.

• Set its next meeting forThursday, Oct. 23, at 9 a.m.

Major blessings that theschool received last yearwere grants and funding fromMinnesota Dairy Council andNFL Play 60. Funds fromthese projects were used toencourage student activity inthe school.

“We used the funds to im-plement student activity inthe classroom and expand ourschool playground,” saidKaesermann. “That has ben-efited not only St. Paul’s butalso our local community.”

St. Paul’s Lutheran Schoolhas been involved in plentyof activities and projects.

“Our students have beenvery active in the school gar-

den and harvest looks verybountiful,” said Kaesermann.“We are looking forward tohaving those vegetables onour menu this school year.”

Kaesermann continued,“We continue to incorporateiPads as a supplement to ourcurriculum. Students createmany projects during theschool year as they learn andtrain with this technology.Around school we updatedsome of our desktop comput-er equipment. We currentlyare focusing our organiza-tional efforts into our schoollibrary. We want to updateour catalog system and serveour students with a more effi-cient way to access books.”

St. Paul’s Lutheran Schoollooking forward to new year

ished. With the amount of re-cruitments going on now, Jau-nich said the county needs toact now.

The Sibley County Com-pensation Administration Planfor employees and departmentheads has been established toequitably compensate em-ployees for work performed.

Jaunich said position de-scriptions have been writtento reflect job requirements.All position description ques-

tionnaires have been evaluat-ed and will be used as thebasis for measuring internaljob differences and transposedinto wage or salary ranges.

The proposed plan changessome wording such as chang-ing cost of living to annualadjustments and step increas-es would be changed to per-formance increase.

In the past, employeescould achieve salary increasesof as much as 12 percent by

transferring to positions with-in the county. The new policywould remove pay raises forlateral changes unless there isan increase in responsibilities.

In other business, the boardgranted a request from thesheriff’s office to purchase anew access control system forthe sheriff’s office and jail.The cost to switch from a keysystem to card system is$15,628.24, which is the lowbid from Bradley Security.

A question and answer column submitted by Superin-tendent Jim Amsden makes its debut on page four in thisweek’s edition of the Arlington Enterprise.

The purpose of the column is for Superintendent Ams-den to answer questions that the average taxpayer mayhave on the proposed Sibley East building bond referen-dum.

The first column is an interesting read and provides de-tailed facts and information on why the Sibley EastSchool Board has not seriously considered a county-wide school as a solution.

The question and and answer column will continue foranother five to six weeks as Superintendent Amsden willprovide facts and information in his answers to questionscommonly asked by the average taxpayer.

Voters in the Sibley East School District are encour-aged to read this weekly question and answer columnand become more informed about the proposed buildingbond referendum which will be held on Nov. 4.

In addition to the question and answer column, publicmeetings will be held and mailings will be distributed sovoters can study the issue and make an educated decisionin early November.

wheel chair for patients being dis-charged. A student nurse found anelderly gentleman already dressedand sitting on the bed with a suitcaseat his feet, who insisted he didn’tneed any help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules beingrules, he reluctantly let the studentnurse wheel him to the elevator. Onthe way down, the student nurseasked him if his wife was meetinghim.

“I don’t know,” he replied.“She’s still upstairs in the bath-room changing out of her hospitalgown.”

*****A kindergarten teacher was ob-

serving her classroom of childrenwhile they were drawing. She wouldoccasionally walk around to see eachchild’s work.

As she got to one little girl whowas working diligently, she askedwhat the drawing was.

The girl replied, “I’m drawingGod.”

The teacher paused and said, “Butno one knows what God looks like.”

Without missing a beat or look-ing up from her drawing, the girlreplied, “They will in a minute.”

*****Dan was a single guy living at

One evening at an investmentmeeting, he spotted the most beauti-ful woman he had ever seen. Hernatural beauty took his breath away.

“I may look like just an ordinaryman,” he said to her, “but in a fewyears, my father will die, and I’ll in-herit 20 million dollars.”

Impressed, the woman obtainedhis business card and three dayslater, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at es-tate planning than men!

pare her will and told her preachershe had two final requests. First, shewanted to be cremated, and second,she wanted her ashes scattered overWalmart.

Editor’s Note: Sibley East Super-intendent Jim Amsden will use hisSuperintendent’s Note Pad columnto answer one to two commonlyasked questions each week about theproposed building bond referendumuntil voters go to the polls on Tues-day, Nov. 4.By Jim AmsdenSibley East Superintendent

Week One: Why not pursue acounty-wide solution to school facil-ities?

Many people believe that declin-ing enrollment in the western half ofthe county will create the need for acounty wide district in the futureand by seeking this type of solutionSibley East residents could spreadthe costs of facilities to more peoplethus making the issue more afford-able. The reality is that when dis-tricts consolidate residents becomeresponsible for the operating levyobligations and other debt service

the consolidating districts have inplace. Currently residents in westernSibley County (GFW) pay higherschool taxes than Sibley East districtresidents. Based on total schoolproperty taxes, payable 2013, on ahome with an estimated marketvalue of $125,000 Sibley East resi-dents currently pay $294 per year,GFW residents pay $397. Totalschool property taxes, payable 2013,on an agricultural homestead with atotal estimated market value of*$850,000 (*assumes the house,garage, and one acre has an estimat-ed market value of $100,000) arealso higher for GFW residents;$1,084 per year than for Sibley Eastresidents $515 per year.

Finally, given the challenges theSibley East District has faced ingaining consensus on building op-tions and locations with the resi-dents of our three communities theprospect of reaching a consensus

with six different communitiesseems to be a political impossibility.While six communities could oftenagree on passing operating referen-dums for instructional programmingthe story is much different when itcomes to the often political questionof where a building should be im-proved or located.

Population projections providedby the Minnesota State Demograph-ic Center, Minnesota Planning, 2014suggest that the population of SibleyCounty will grow 11 percent overthe next 30 years. By passing thisbuilding referendum the Sibley Eastdistrict positions itself well to con-tinue to attract families and studentsto our communities and schools wellinto the future.

Week Two: Why not phase theprojects and do half the project nowand the second half in the future toreduce the initial tax burden on dis-trict?

SE building bond referendum weekly question

By Glenn Mollette Two thousand two hundred and

twenty-three people desperatelytried to escape from the sinking Ti-tanic. One thousand five hundredand seventeen perished, as theycould not escape. Most of themcould not escape because there werenot enough lifeboats. There wereboats for only eleven hundred andseventy-eight people. Sadly, the shipwas not properly equipped withenough lifeboats.

Who in their right mind wouldhave preferred the sinking ship to alifeboat? No one wanted a sinkingship. People who drowned desper-ately wanted a lifeboat. Escape wasimpossible because there was noplace to escape.

If I lived in Iraq, Syria,Afghanistan, Central America or nu-merous other countries includingMexico I would be scratching andclawing to find a way out. Whowants to live in such places of vio-lence and poverty? Millions arestuck and will never escape. Mil-lions of people have found a place

of safety and freedom in America.People keep coming and coming.Actually there will never be an endto the rush of people storming ourborders for safety and freedom, aslong there is a magnet to draw themhere. Also the best of any lifeboatswill sink. Even the Titanic sank. Dowe sometimes think we are unsink-able? America is not unsinkable.

I think too much of America sitsaround glued to social media eatingourselves into the grave while moreand more people are coming intoour boat. Some of them are hardworkers and will do their jobs row-ing and keeping the boat afloat. Oth-ers are climbing on board staring atus wondering what we are going todo to save them from drowning.

There is room for more people inAmerica, but, how much room dowe have?

We don't have room for morefreeloaders. We don't need moreliars filling out claims for social se-curity disability and then workingcash only jobs to keep their govern-ment check coming. We don't need

more people on food stamps andMedicaid getting free food and med-ical rides at the expense of the work-ing citizens. Unfortunately the boatis already crowded with Americanswho have learned entitlements as away of life. How many of these peo-ple can we take on before we sink?

There is room for people who willfill out their paperwork and comeinto our country documented. Wehave room for hard workers whowill pay their taxes, and keep Amer-ica strong and secure. Those whocross our border illegally are illegal.They are not going to fight forAmerica's freedom and values, servein our military and keep Americastrong. They are lawbreakers andneed to become legal.

We have kept the American boatof safety and liberty floating forquite a while. Millions have comehere and tremendously contributed.However, how many illegals will theboat hold before we sink?

Glenn Mollette is an Americancolumnist and author.

Minnesota’s mourningdove hunting season beginsMonday, Sept. 1, and contin-ues through Sunday, Nov. 9,with hunters allowed to shoot15 doves each day, and have45 in possession, according tothe Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources (DNR).

This is the 11th season ofdove hunting in Minnesota,where about 13,000 huntersharvest about 100,000 doveseach year. Nationwide, thereare about 350 million mourn-ing doves.

“Dove hunting is a great

way to introduce youngstersto hunting,” said Steve Mer-chant, wildlife population andregulation program managerfor the Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources.“It doesn’t require muchmore than a box of shells,shotgun, earth-tone clothing,a hunting spot and a bucket tosit on, which makes it easyfor mentors to work with in-experienced hunters undervery safe conditions.”

While not required, non-toxic shot is recommendedfor hunting mourning doves.

A small game license andHarvest Information Program(HIP) certification are re-quired for hunters 16 andolder. Hunters younger than16 must obtain a free small-game hunting license andHIP certification. More infor-mation on HIP certificationcan be found atwww.mndnr.gov/hunting/hip.

“The plan is to regularlymeet with citizens to take anin-depth look at a specificissue,” Jones said. “This isnew. It’s different. It willallow for more public interac-tion than in our past meetingformats.”

Jones said the meeting ispart of an emerging agencyapproach to more broadlycommunicate fish populationinformation, research find-ings and rationale for man-agement decisions. There isno charge for admission.
