City officials in Arlingtonand Green Isle, along withmembers of both fire de-partments, remind residentsto clear the snow away fromthe fire hydrants on theirproperty this winter.

Clearing the snow away

from a fire hydrant increas-es its visibility and can saveprevious time when fire-fighters need to hook up tothe hydrant in an emer-gency.

Residents are also askedto clear snow away fromstorm sewer catch basins tohelp prevent street flooding

and icing.When the weather be-

comes warmer and snow be-gins to melt, it is importantthat the runoff water is ableto get into the storm sewer.If the catch basin is coveredby a build up of snow andice, street flooding canoccur. If the weather gets

colder after melting, a streetcan become an ice risk.

City and fire departmentofficials also ask residentsto help out their elderlyneighbors with these en-deavors.

A sales pitch on the RSFiber Cooperative was madeto the Green Isle City Coun-cil and Arlington City Coun-cil during the past 10 days.

Mark Erickson presentedan update to the Green IsleCity Council on Tuesdaynight, Jan. 28.

Denny Schultz, Tim Dolanand Cindy Gerholz presentedan update to the ArlingtonCity Council on Mondayevening, Feb. 3.

Under the restructuredproject, the private coopera-tive board will own and oper-ate the fiber network, accord-ing to the presenters.

The RS Fiber Joint PowersBoard will remain in exis-tence, expand its membershipto include townships and pro-vide an economic develop-ment loan to the cooperative,according to the presenters.The loan will be used by thecooperative to secure addi-

tional needed financing.The new structure also has

distinct advantages, the pre-senters said.

The new financing methodsubstantially reduces theamount of money that needsto be borrowed, lowering thepenetration rate for breakeven and reducing risk, ac-cording to the presenters. Inaddition, since it will now be-come a private business, itwill not be subject to poorlywritten telecommunicationslegislation regarding partici-pation by units of govern-ment.

The new RS Fiber Cooper-ative will have the same foot-prints, benefits and advan-tages as the previous RSFiber Project, the presenterssaid.

Again, the private coopera-tive will own and operate thenetwork. There will be faster

A man whose Mankato res-idence was searched after aninformant reported he had ahandgun and was sellingmethamphetamine was arrest-ed after authorities found thegun and about 2 ounces of thedrug, according to an articlein The Free Press.

Agents with the MinnesotaRiver Valley Drug Task Forceassisted other agencies duringa search in Sibley County onThursday, Jan. 23. Accordingto the affidavit used to justify

the Mankato search, while in-vestigating the Sibley case,an informant told officers thatMichael Benard Eken, 37,had sold him or her metham-phetamine several times. Theinformant also reported Ekenbuys the drug by the quarteror half pound, that he fre-quently has a holstered gunon his hip, and he had said hewould be willing to shoot po-lice to avoid going to prison,the affidavit said.

Task Force agents were is-

sued a warrant and searchedEken’s residence at 1901Sunray Drive at about 11:30p.m. that day. Eken and an-other person allegedly at-tempted to escape out theback of the residence whenagents arrived. Eken wascaught and about 55 grams,which is about two ounces, ofmethamphetamine were al-legedly found in four baggiesin his possession, accordingto a criminal complaint filedin Blue Earth County District

Court. The complaint did notsay if the other person was ar-rested.

Investigators had been toldEken was selling “8-balls,” ofabout 3.5 grams, of the drugfor $200. So the value of themethamphetamine allegedlyfound would be about $3,000.

Agents also reported find-ing a “ZAP baton Taser,” gunammunition items such as a

The snow blower for theCity of Arlington broke downduring snow removal on earlyFriday morning, Jan. 31, ac-cording to City AdministratorLiza Donabauer.

“After the snow blowerwas put out of commission, adecision was made to sendhome Mueller & Sons so thatMaintenance SupervisorJason Lovaas could assess thesituation,” said Donabauer.

Lovaas spent Friday morn-ing “tearing apart” the two-year-old blower and discov-ered that a part on the two-

piece clutch was broken, shesaid.

“This obviously was unfor-tunate timing as there werelarge piles of snow alongmain thoroughfares includingMain Street,” said Don-abauer. “With the unusualsnow amount and winds lastweek, the two-mannedStreets Department was wellover on overtime by Thurs-day.”

The City Council, accord-ing to Donabauer, was in-formed of the situation onFriday, Jan. 31.

Lovaas called back thecrew, William Mueller &

Sons and Klehr Excavating toremove the snow “the oldfashioned way” with a pay-loader and dump truck onearly Monday morning, Feb.3, Donabauer said.

The cost of the replacementclutch is approximately$2,000 plus repair time, ac-cording to Donabauer. TheSNOGO MP-3D Cummins260HP blower was acquiredin October, 2011, and paid forin February, 2012, as part ofthe 2012 Capital Improve-ment Plan (CIP) for$129,318.75.

City snow blower breaks down

A mobile home was de-stroyed on the northeast sideof Gaylord on Monday morn-ing, Feb. 3, according to Ar-lington Fire Chief JohnZaske.

Fire departments from Ar-lington and Gaylord werecalled to the home owned by

Juan Martinez at around 9:45a.m., Zaske said. The homewas declared a total loss, butno one was injured in the fire.

The Mankato Free Pressand KNUJ Radio reportedthat it is believed that the firewas started by a keroseneheater which had been placed

underneath the trailer to thawout frozen pipes.

The fire departments wereon the scene for approximate-ly two hours, according toZaske.

The American Red Crossand the Salvation Army areassisting the family.

Internet speeds offered. Inter-net speeds will be symmetri-cal. Live high schoolsports/events programmingwill be provided. Telemedi-cine services will be offered.Home and farm security serv-ices will be offered. U.S. Ing-nite will add value to the proj-ect.

Under the previous financ-ing plan, the break even pointoccurred when 69 percent ofhouseholds and small busi-nesses in the project areasigned up for service.

Under the new plan, ac-cording to the presenters, thebreak even point drops to 45percent. That means the proj-ect already has more pledgecards than needed for breakeven. Overall, the project bor-rows less money and interestdoes not accrue as fast.

Under the previous financ-ing plan, a $70 million rev-enue bond was required be-cause of the type of financingand the public nature of the fi-nancing.

Under the new financingplan, according to the presen-ters, the total constructioncosts will remain at $55 mil-lion. Cities and townships will

provide a $15 million eco-nomic development loan tothe cooperative in the form ofa general obligation tax abate-ment bond.

The cooperative will lever-age that into a $40 millionprimary loan with bank,USDA, SBA and HUD sup-port and guarantees, the pre-senters said. No debt reservefund is required. The $15 mil-lion economic developmentloan will be used for start upconstruction and cash flowneeds. Interest will accrueonly when the funds are ac-cessed.

The cooperative will makebond payments on behalf ofthe cities and township, ac-cording to the presenters.Public hearings will be re-quired along with votes of theparticipating city councils andtownship boards. There is noreal cost to cities/townships toparticipate unless the projectfails. Unlike traditional gener-al obligation bonds sold bycities and townships, this onewill be supported by a rev-enue stream. It is, however,guaranteed by the ability ofthe participating governmententity to raise taxes if the co-

operative cannot make thepayments. The 20-year gener-al obligation abatement bondwill be subordinate to primaryfinancing. That means citiesand townships will be re-quired to make bond pay-ments if the cooperative is un-able to make them on their be-half.

In the coming months, theRS Fiber Cooperative Boardwill reintroduce and remarketthe project to everyone in theproject area through mailingsand public meetings, accord-ing to the presenters.

They said potential cus-tomers will be asked to sign aone-year contract for servicesinstead of a pledge card. Thecontract will include pricesfor all three services, allowfiber to be buried on the cus-tomer’s land, may or may notrequire a down payment andonly be enforced if the projectis constructed.

The construction of theproject, which is a three-yearbuild, will begin in 2015, ac-cording to the presenters.

A meeting for all city andtownship elected officials willbe held in Winthrop on Thurs-day night, Feb. 20.

Letters To The Editor

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton recently rolled out his$986 million bonding bill. As with his past bonding bill, theproposal primarily focuses on big cities and regional centersand spends too much money on nonessential projects.

If passed, a majority of money in the bonding bill will bespent in the Twin Cities area and in regional centers likeMankato, Rochester, St. Cloud and Duluth. It will strengthenthe big cities and regional centers and weaken the smallercommunities across the state. It will also force citizens fromrural Minnesota to further rely more heavily on these big citiesand regional centers.

If passed, too much money will also be spent on nonessen-tial projects. Some of these projects include $63 million forcivic center improvements in Mankato, Rochester and St.Cloud; $20 million for Minneapolis to redesign and renovatethe Nicollet Mall, nearly $7 million for the NorShor Theatre inDuluth; $7 million to the Minneapolis Parks and RecreationalBoard; and $6 million to renovate the Palace Theater in St.Paul. The citizens in these big cities and regional centers,along with the people who frequent these buildings, shouldpay for these improvements and renovations. They are not es-sential projects to all Minnesota residents. Why should peoplein the Arlington and Green Isle area pay for the redesign andrenovation of the Nicollet Mall or civic center improvementsin Mankato, Rochester and St. Cloud?

The whole intent of a bonding bill is not to satisfy the wantsof special interest groups or for certain legislators to bringhome pork to their districts. The sole intent of a bonding billto expend money on capital projects to improve the way thestate can further serve all citizens. Some prime examples arehigher education, roads, bridges, water systems, correctionalfacilities and sewer systems. Only $79 million in the bondingbill proposal is dedicated to roads and bridges.

The good news is that the Minnesota State Constitution re-quires a 60 percent super-majority in both houses of the Legis-lature to enact a bonding bill. That translates into 41 votes inthe Senate and 81 votes in the House. That means two Repub-lican State Senators and eight Republican Representatives willhave to join every Democrat in both houses to pass the pro-posed bonding bill. That will never happen.

The hope is that the final bonding, after some compromise,will focus more on essential projects across the entire stateand not center on the big cities and regional centers and ex-pend too much money on nonessential projects.

*****A Minnesota man left the snow-

filled streets of Minneapolis for avacation in Florida. His wife was ona business trip and was planning tomeet him there the next day. Whenhe reached his hotel he decided tosend his wife a quick email. Unfor-tunately, when typing her address, hemissed one letter, and his note wasdirected instead to an elderly preach-er’s wife whose husband had passedaway only the day before. When thegrieving widow checked her email,she took one look at the monitor, let

out a piercing scream, and fell to thefloor in a dead faint.

At the sound, her family rushedinto the room and saw this note onthe screen: Dearest Wife, Just gotchecked in. Everything preparedfor your arrival tomorrow. P.S.Sure is hot down here.

*****It was the day of the big sale. A

long line had formed by openingtime.

A man pushed his way to the frontof the line, only to be pushed back,amid shouts. On the man's secondattempt, he was knocked around andthen thrown to the end of the lineagain.

As he got ready for a third try,he said to the person at the end ofthe line, “That does it! If they hitme one more time, I won't openthe store!”

*****A man was interviewing for a job.

The interviewer said, “In this job weneed someone who is responsible.”

“I'm the one you want,” theman replied. "At my last job everytime anything went wrong, theysaid I was responsible.”

*****A man went to his lawyer and

said, “I would like to make a will butI don't know exactly how to goabout it.”

The lawyer said, “No problem,leave it all to me.”

Astonished, he replied, “Well Iknew you were going to take thebiggest slice, but I'd like to leave alittle to my children too!”

To The Editor,Here it is another snowfall and the

same people have got their vehiclesparked on the street. I thought theCity of Arlington was going to finethose owners? Evidently, it’s not

enough if it’s always the same dead-beats. For those of us who live nextdoor, we have to shovel our drive-ways halfway into the street to get towhat the snowplow left. Maybe theArlington Enterprise should publish

the names and fines. Better yet,maybe the city should start towing.

To The Editor,As you have likely heard by now,

propane prices are going up. I haveheard from a number of constituentsregarding how the cost of propane isaffecting their budgets to heat theirhomes and businesses.

The spike in propane is a classiccase of supply and demand beingout of balance. This past fall’sweather was both cold and wet,which resulted in the increased de-mand by farmers in order to drytheir crops. Furthermore, we havehad the coldest winter in 30 yearsraising residential demand and cre-ating difficulties in delivery.

Additionally, the propane pipelinefrom Alberta through the northernMidwestern states was shut downfor much of December, limiting sup-ply. This pipeline imported 40 per-cent of Minnesota’s propane and fu-ture supplies from Canada will beshipped via rail rather than pipeline.If you’re interested in reading moreon this issue, please see this link:http://www.startribune.com/busi-ness/234815871.html.

I have been asked to do what I canto help control the price, but unfor-tunately this is a market driven com-modity. The export prices are moreattractive than domestic prices, sodomestic prices must rise somewhatto provide the incentive for produc-ers to keep supplies at home rather

than selling abroad. If China andEurope are willing to pay more forpropane that is where the supplierswill sell. Anything short of a federalban on exports would be ineffectiveand limited to only domestic pro-duction. Canadian propane would beunaffected. If price controls areplaced on propane sold in Minneso-ta, this could potentially only in-crease exports and further cripplesupplies for Minnesota customers.

There really isn't a state role inregulating the price of propane.Only Hawaii with its very uniquecharacteristics, has any sort of priceregulation on propane. Some west-ern states regulate prices for propanesystems that serve 10 or morehouseholds, but no state regulatesdelivered propane. From researchthat I have done, there isn’t any statepolicy change that can help otherthan allowing trucks to deliverpropane more hours of the day toease the local supply. In Decemberand January, the Governor and stateDOT commissioner have issued or-ders loosening regulations on thehours of delivery and the US De-partment of Transportation has alsoissued waivers from certain regula-tions for delivery of propane - in ef-fect until February 11.

Companies are delivering nightand day, but supplies are tight andprices will inevitably go up with in-

creased demand and decreased sup-ply. Regrettably, I don't see theissue going away until the weatherwarms up and supply is able to catchup with demand.

Cold weather rules that apply toother utilities do not apply topropane households so the compa-nies aren't required to deliver thesame way natural gas or electricutilities are forced to continue toprovide heating and electricity dur-ing cold weather seasons. If you arein need of assistance because of theincrease, you can find out if you areeligible for the federal Low IncomeHeating Assistance Program (LI-HEAP) and smaller programs areavailable to those who cannot pay.To find out if you qualify, please fol-low the links below:https://mn.gov/commerce/energy/media/newsdetail.jsp?id=207-112334http://mn.gov/commerce/energy/top-ics/financial/Energy-Assistance-Pro-gram/

If there are instances where indi-vidual companies are gouging, Iwould expect the Attorney Generalto have an interest, so please report.

If you have any questions or con-cerns, please feel free to contact me.

The Minnesota BetterBusiness Bureau is warningresidents about a new take onan old phone scam, accordingto the KNUJ Radio website.

The scammers use a com-puter to call random cellphones with what looks like a473 area code – and thenhang up after one ring. Offi-cials warn that 473 is an in-

ternational area code forGranada, and if people callthe number back they canvery quickly ring up some bigbills. The typical charges are$20 right off the bat for theinternational call, and then $9per-minute after that. Otherinternational area codes aresometimes used as well.

The scam is a new version

of “ring and run” frauds inwhich third parties use a tac-tic called “cramming” to addunauthorized or deceptivecharges to a phone bill with-out their knowledge.

Officials state that the bestway to beat this scam is tonot answer unknown num-bers, and don’t call themback.

FSA Matters

By Edward Usset U of M Extension

Soybean plantings willlikely increase by two millionacres or more in 2014, indi-cating reason to be nervousabout new crop soybeanprices in the months ahead.

It's reasonable to assume alarge increase in soybeanacres this year. That's becauseNovember 2014 new cropsoybean prices are at a favor-able level related to Decem-ber 2014 futures of new cropcorn. The resulting greatersupplies could lead to muchlower soybean prices by har-

vest.Despite this outlook, No-

vember 2014 futures pricesare currently close to a prof-itable level compared to pro-duction costs.

When the new crop price ofsoybean is high relative tonew crop corn, farmers natu-rally increase soybean plant-ing. For example, in 2004 and2006 farmers increased soy-bean plantings by 1.8 and 3.5million acres, respectively.

What happens to new cropsoybean prices when farmersplant more soybeans?

There have been 14 years

since 1980 when Novembersoybean futures led farmersto increase soybean plantingsby at least two percent. Forperspective, a two percent in-crease in soybean plantings in2014 means an additional 1.6million acres of soybeans --not a particularly large in-crease. In 12 of the 14 years,November soybean futuresprices were substantiallylower at harvest compared toprice levels the winter before.

Corn prices are low. Wheatprices are establishing life-of-contract lows nearly everyday. I am averse to price 2014

corn or wheat because newcrop pricing opportunities arewell below production cost. Itis possible that early soybeansales will be an only opportu-nity to price any new cropgrain before the harvest of2014.

With wheat prices in verypoor condition, soybeanprices are just as favorablecompared to wheat. Farmersin the northern Plains, such asNorth Dakota and SouthDakota, have an equallystrong incentive to plant moresoybeans.

Pricing 2014 soybeans: Is it time to get aggressive?

The Minnesota Departmentof Agriculture (MDA) is con-cerned about the health andsafety of the state’s farmingfamilies and their livestockduring this cold spell. Thecurrent propane shortage notonly jeopardizes farm fami-lies’ ability to heat theirhomes, but also to provideadequate care for their live-stock. Governor Mark Day-ton issued a Peacetime Stateof Emergency yesterday tostand up the state’s emer-gency operations center to as-sist farm families and produc-ers who are facing propane

shortages and need help.Any farm families or pro-

ducers facing a critical short-age of propane should contactthe Minnesota duty officer at1-800-422-0798 or 651-649-5451. The MDA is also work-ing with our sister agenciesand industry groups to identi-fy areas of the state in need.

MDA Commissioner DaveFrederickson has met withthe governor and other emer-gency management officialsto discuss the shortage andhow to improve the supply toMinnesota consumers.

have beautiful facilities, astrong message, and qualityprograms.”

Also contributing to mem-bership growth are the em-phasis on diversity recruit-ment and the diversity pro-grams that Twin Valley Coun-cil has implemented in theMankato area.

Samlaska said, “We arecontinually focusing on whatSouth Central Minnesotawants from Scouting andwhat we’re delivering, to en-sure we are giving our boys

the BSA program they de-serve. We have a lot of sup-port from the communitieswe serve.”

basic skills necessary to be-come a weather spotter.Storm spotters help theircommunities by participatingin an organized effort towatch for approaching stormsand warn of the formation oftornadoes or other threaten-ing severe weather. Evenwith the use of Doppler radarequipment, there is a need forspotters in the field. Radarcan only detect the parent cir-culation that spawns torna-does; information is neededabout whether tornadoes areactually being produced andtheir precise location.

For additional information,please contact the SibleyCounty Emergency Manage-ment.

Walleye anglers on MilleLacs Lake will likely see reg-ulations similar to last yearwhen the season opens May10, based on the safe harvestlevel announced today by theMinnesota Department ofNatural Resources.

The 2014 walleye safe har-vest level is 60,000 pounds.Of this amount, 42,900pounds is allocated to thestate and 17,100 pounds is al-located to the eight Chippewabands with 1837 Treaty har-vest rights. These allocationamounts were recently agreedupon at a meeting of DNRand tribal natural resourceleaders.

DNR Fisheries Chief DonPereira said a limited harvestunder the existing restrictiveharvest slot, combined withpotential additional more re-strictive regulations, will pro-vide the needed protection tothe lake’s struggling walleyepopulation. Under existingregulations, anglers are ableto keep walleye only between18- and 20-inches. All othersmust be immediately re-leased. The possession limitis two, with only one longerthan 28 inches.

“Is the walleye populationwhere we want it? Absolutelynot,” Pereira said, “but re-strictive harvest opportunitiesthis year will not impair thelake’s ability to produce fu-ture generations of walleye.Mille Lacs has and alwayswill be a great fishing desti-nation.”

Pereira said the conserva-tive allocations – the lowestsince cooperative treaty man-agement of the lake began in1997 – reflect biologists’deep concern about the lake’srecent inability to producelarge crops of young walleye,despite adequate spawningstock and excellent produc-tion of young-of-the-year,fingerling-sized fish. The lakehas not produced a strongyear class of walleye since2008.

The Mille Lacs safe harvestlevel has ranged from a highof 600,000 pounds in 2006 tothis year ’s low of 60,000pounds. Actual harvests,however, have been very lowin some previous years. In2003, for example, state an-glers took only 66,492pounds of walleye and simi-lar situations occurred in

2004 and 2008.“We have not yet finalized

size or bag limit regulationsfor the 2014 fishing seasonand won’t until we confer fur-ther with citizens later in Feb-ruary,” Pereira said. “Mean-while, we will continue toseek answers to the perplex-ing problem of young wall-eye survival and will alsoopen our entire fisheries man-agement books to a newlyformed “blue ribbon” panelof nationally recognized fish-eries experts.”

Pereira said the agency isexploring new ways to en-gage citizens this year be-cause it will seek input onharvest reduction options inaddition to walleye slotlength and bag limit regula-tions. These options, such asan extended night fishingban, would help to ensure thewalleye safe harvest level isnot exceeded.

“Nothing has been decidedother than we need to havethis discussion with anglersand affected interests,”Pereira said. “We want toidentify a variety of regulato-ry options because regula-tions are how we manage har-

vest.”In contrast to walleye,

northern pike continue to in-crease in abundance, withrecord catches of young fishin the last two assessments.The total harvest cap will beincreased for the coming fish-ing season to 100,000 poundswith equal allocation betweenthe state and the bands. TheDNR will also explore ex-panded angling opportunitiesfor both pike and smallmouthbass.

Pereira also said Brad Par-sons, the DNR’s central Min-nesota regional fisheries man-ager and a long-time researchbiologist, has been assignedto lead the DNR’s efforts toturn the Mille Lacs walleyepopulation around as quicklyas possible, while minimizingnegative impacts to the localcommunity and economy.“Brad is a strong leader whobrings a fresh set of eyes tothis effort, as well as exten-sive walleye research andmanagement experience,”Pereira said.

Final 2014 Mille Lacs openwater fishing regulations willbe announced in March.
