The Sibley County Attor-ney’s Office will not filecharges in connection withthe bicycle-dump truck acci-dent that killed Gaylord resi-dent Tom Webster on Fridayafternoon, July 10.

Webster, 51, who was pres-ident of the Gaylord Ambu-lance Association, was ridinghis bicycle north on SixthStreet near High Avenue inGaylord.

Edgar Maldonado, Glen-coe, was driving a dumptruck north in the traffic laneon the same street. Maldona-do had then turned right ontoHigh Avenue. It was at thispoint where contact wasmade with the bicycle anddump truck.

Webster, who served as an

officer on the Gaylord PoliceDepartment from 1996-2013,was transported by the Gay-lord Ambulance to theRidgeview Sibley MedicalCenter in Arlington. He wasbeing transferred to the NorthMemorial Medical Center inRobbinsdale when he died.

KNUJ Radio reported thatthe primary factors in thecrash, according to the Min-nesota State Patrol Crash Re-construction Report, wereWebster being distracted andin a position to not see theturn signal and/or brakes ofthe dump truck. Webster alsoapplied the brakes too latecausing a loss of control ofthe bicycle.

Webster, who served on theSibley East School Boardfrom 2003-2006, was notwearing a helmet.

The Arlington City Coun-cil, during its regular meetingon Monday night, Oct. 5,voted 4-1 and approved a mo-tion to table action for a sig-nature on a purchase agree-ment for a Demers MX170ambulance which is includedin the 2016 budget.

The City Council is notagainst the purchase, butsome members wanted addi-tional information on the newambulance from ArlingtonArea Ambulance ServiceManager Kevin Sullivan.

City Council membersMichelle Battcher, JamesJaszewski, Jennifer Nuesseand Galen Wills all voted infavor of the motion.

City Council member JimHeiland, who believed thegroup should have movedforward on the issue, votedagainst the motion.

The total cost of the pur-chase, after the trade of the2000 E450 Road Rescue unit,would be $179,850. The Cityof Arlington’s portion wouldbe $120,005.42 while the re-maining amount would bepaid by the City of Green Isle

and the townships in the firedistrict.

The City Council, accord-ing to Arlington City Admin-istrator Liza Donabauer, hasbudgeted $180,000 for theambulance purchase.

Sullivan will be invited tothe next budget meeting onMonday night, Oct. 19.

RS Fiber Lawsuit

Arlington City AttorneyRoss Arneson informed theCity Council that a settlementagreement has been reached

in connection with the origi-nal Renville-Sibley Fiber tothe Home Project.

The cities and counties in-volved in this original projectwere being sued for not pay-ing their legal fees over threeyears ago.

Under the terms of the set-tlement agreement, the RSFiber Cooperative Boardshall pay and deliver $75,000to Best & Flanagan, LLP,Minneapolis, for a full andfinal settlement and satisfac-tion of the lawsuit. Once thepayment is made, the lawsuitwill be dismissed.

DronesThe City Council discussed

the first draft of an ordinancerestricting the use of droneaerial vehicles in the City ofArlington airspace. The firstdraft was presented by Arne-son and based on a St. Boni-facius ordinance which isboth simple and straightfor-ward.

It appeared that the consen-sus of the City Council was tolimit the use of drones withno cameras for people ontheir own property and to es-tablish a permit application

process for commercial usewith cameras. In addition,there were issues raised overthe flight path of helicopterstraveling to and from theRidgeview Sibley MedicalCenter.

The City Council later au-thorized Arneson to rewritethe ordinance and include thesuggestions made at the meet-ing.

The first reading of the or-dinance will be held at thenext regular meeting.

ARLINGTON Fire Department

Home fires

• Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most

people are asleep. Only one in five home fires were reported during these hours.

• One quarter of home fire deaths were caused by fires that started in the bedroom. Another

quarter resulted from fires in the living room, family room or den.

• Three out of five home fire deaths happen from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no

working smoke alarms.

• In 2013, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 369,500 home structure fires.

These fires caused 2,755 deaths, 12,200 civilian injuries, and $7.0 billion in direct dam-

age

• Home fires killed an average of eight people every day in 2013.

• Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home fire injuries, followed by heating equip-

ment.

• Smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths.

• Most fatal fires kill only one or two people. In 2013, 12 home fires killed five or more peo-

ple resulting in a total of 67 deaths.

• During 2007-2011, roughly one of every 320 households had a reported home fire per

year.

Smoke Alarms

• Three out of five home fire deaths in 2007-2011 were caused by fires in homes with no

smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

• Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half.

• In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated

93% of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 79% of the time.

• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnect-

ed, or dead.

• An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelec-

tric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection,

or where extra time is needed, to awaken or assist others, both types of alarms, or combi-

nation ionization and photoelectric alarms are recommended.

Escape Planning

• According to an NFPA survey, only one-third of Americans have both developed and prac-

ticed a home fire escape plan.

• Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, more than half

never practiced it.

• One-third (32%) of survey respondents who made an estimate thought they would have at

least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. The time avail-

able is often less. Only 8% said their first thought on hearing a smoke alarm would be to

get out!

Heating

• The leading factor contributing to heating equipment fires was failure to clean. This usually

involved creosote build-up in chimneys.

• Portable or fixed space heaters, including wood stoves, were involved in one-third (33%)

of home heating fires and four out of five (81%) home heating deaths.

• Just over half of home heating fire deaths resulted from fires caused by heating equipment

too close to things that can burn, such as upholstered furniture, clothing, mattresses or

bedding.

• In most years, heating equipment is the second leading cause of home fires, fire deaths,

and fire injuries.

Cooking

• U.S. Fire Departments responded to an estimated annual average of 156,600 cooking-re-

lated fires between 2007-2011, resulting in 400 civilian deaths, 5,080 civilian injuries and

$853 million in direct damage.

• Two of every five home fires started in the kitchen.

• Unattended cooking was a factor in one-third of reported home cooking fires.

• Two-thirds of home cooking fires started with ignition of food or other cooking materials.

• Ranges accounted for almost three of every five (57%) of home cooking fire incidents.

Ovens accounted for 16%.

• Children under five face a higher risk of non-fire burns associated with cooking and hot

food and drinks than of being hurt in a cooking fire.

• Microwave ovens are one of the leading home products associated with scald burns. Ac-

cording to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, two out of five of the mi-

crowave oven injuries seen at emergency rooms in 2012 were scald burns.

• Clothing was the item first ignited in less than 1% of home cooking fires, but these inci-

dents accounted for 15% of the cooking fire deaths.

• Fifty-five percent of people injured in home fires involving cooking equipment were hurt

while attempting to fight the fire themselves.

• Failure to clean was a factor contributing to ignition in 17% of reported home fires involving

ovens or rotisseries.

Smoking Materials

• Smoking materials started an average of 17,900 smoking-material home structure fires per

year during 2007-2011. These fires caused an average of 580 deaths, 1,280 injuries and

$509 million in direct property damage per year.

• Most deaths in home smoking-material fires were caused by fires that started in bedrooms

(40%) or living rooms, family rooms or dens (35%).

• Sleep was a factor in roughly one-third of the home smoking material fire deaths.

• Possible alcohol impairment was a factor in one in five (19%) of home smoking fire deaths.

• One out of four fatal victims of smoking-material fires is not the smoker whose cigarettes

started the fire.

Electrical

• About half (48%) of home electrical fires involved electrical distribution or lighting equip-

ment. Other leading types of equipment were washer or dryer, fan, portable or stationary

space heater, air conditioning equipment water heater and range.

• Electrical failure or malfunctions caused an average of 47,800 home fires per year in 2007-

2011, resulting in an average of 450 deaths and $1.5 billion in direct property damage.

Candles

• During 2007-2011 candles caused 3% of home fires, 4% of home fire deaths, 7% of home

fire injuries, and 6% of direct property damage from home fires.

• On average, there are 29 home candle fires reported per day.

• More than one-third of these fires (36%) started in the bedroom; however, the candle in-

dustry found that only 13% of candle users burn candles in the bedroom most often.

• Nearly three in five candle fires start when things that can burn are too close to the candle.

• Falling asleep was a factor in 11% of the home candle fires and 37% of the associated

deaths.

The death of a St. Paulwoman in a pedestrian crashlast week is a reminder thatas the days get shorter andthe nights longer, motoristsand pedestrians should watchout for one another. The fallmonths are the deadliestmonths for pedestrians, ac-cording to the Minnesota De-partment of Transportation.

Last year, 17 pedestrianswere killed and 837 were in-jured. This year so far, 23pedestrians were killed and655 were injured.

“With more hours of dark-ness in the fall, pedestriansare more difficult to see,”said Sue Groth, MnDOT statetraffic engineer. “Motorists

and pedestrians are equally atfault when we look at ourcrash data. That means thatboth groups need to knowand obey the laws.”

The crosswalk law includesthese highlights:

• Motorists should stop forcrossing pedestrians atmarked crosswalks and at allintersections without cross-walks or stop lights.

• Pedestrians must obeytraffic signs and signals at allintersections that have them.

• Vehicles stopped forpedestrians can proceed oncethe pedestrian has completelycrossed the lane in front ofthe stopped vehicle.

• Pedestrians shouldn’t

enter a crosswalk if a vehicleis approaching and it is im-possible for the driver to stop.There is no defined distancethat a pedestrian must abideby before entering the cross-walk; common sense shouldbe used.

For the full crosswalk law,go to:www.mndot.gov/sharetheroad/ped/crosswalklaw.html.

Because the sun rises laterand sets earlier, there aremore pedestrians before andafter daylight hours, increas-ing the risk of crashes. Chil-dren are going to or gettingout of school or walking totheir bus stop, and adults arewalking to or home from

work.About 30 percent of pedes-

trian crashes happen duringthe weekday rush hour driv-ing time, defined as 6 to 9a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. One outof every four pedestrian fatalcrashes occurred between thehours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.

Male pedestrians are morelikely than females to bekilled or injured. Males ac-counted for 76 percent of allpedestrian fatalities and 52percent of all injuries in2014.

The most cited contributingfactors to all pedestrian crash-es is driver failure to yieldand driver distraction or inat-tention.

Fall is deadliest time for pedestrians

With three duck huntingzones in effect in Minnesota,hunters in the Central andSouth duck zones are remind-ed of closed dates in thosezones that split the seasoninto two parts to providemore hunting opportunitylater in the fall.

The waterfowl season inthe Central Duck Zone (southof Highway 210) will beclosed from Monday, Oct. 5,through Friday, Oct. 9, andthen reopen Saturday, Oct.10. In the South Duck Zone(south of Highway 212), thewaterfowl season will beclosed from Monday, Oct. 5,through Wednesday, Oct. 14,

and then reopen Thursday,Oct. 15, which coincides witha long weekend off for manystudents. Goose season is alsoclosed in the central andsouth duck zones when duckseason is closed.

Opening Weekend ReportOver the opening weekend

of waterfowl season thatbegan Sept. 26, duck num-bers were good and hunternumbers were similar to lastyear. Blue-winged teal, woodduck and mallard comprisedmost of the harvest, accord-ing to Steve Cordts, water-fowl specialist for the Min-nesota Department of Natural

Resources.“As always, results varied

throughout the state, butoverall I’d say it was a verygood opening weekend – es-pecially with the shirt-sleeveweather, which isn’t con-ducive to duck hunting,”Cordts said.

Lac qui Parle Refuge hadthe second best opening dayin 26 years with 3.6 ducks perhunter. Big White Oak Lakehad the best opener in at least15 years with three ducks perhunter. Thief Lake WildlifeManagement Area (WMA),Roseau River WMA, BigRice WMA near Remer, andSwan Lake all averaged more

than two ducks per hunterand above their long-term av-erages for opening day.

“The outlook for the rest ofthe season remains good, al-though there will be the typi-cal lull until new birds mi-grate into the state,” Cordtssaid. “Migrant ring-neckedducks will soon begin tobuild in numbers in northernMinnesota. Teal and woodducks will still be fairly com-mon in southern Minnesotathis weekend.” For more in-formation on waterfowl hunt-ing, including waterfowl mi-gration reports, see the water-fowl hunting page.

Duck hunting season off to a great start

Following a milder winterand a conservative deer sea-son last year, hunters this fallmay see more deer on thelandscape during the archerydeer season and while scout-ing for the Saturday, Nov. 7,firearms deer opener, accord-ing to the Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resources.

“Hunters will experienceanother conservative deerseason in 2015,” said SteveMerchant, wildlife popula-tions and regulations programmanager with the DNR. “Thisyear, they may see deer theycan’t shoot, but this helpsprovide more opportunity inthe future. We are continuingto build the deer populationacross much of the state, andwe do that by harvestingfewer antlerless deer.”

For the 2015 season, one-deer limits remain in most ofthe state. This season willmark the second year of amanagement approach to re-build deer populations basedon goal setting and listeningsessions that indicated a de-sire for more deer in manyareas.

“For most hunters, it’s re-warding to see deer whilehunting,” Merchant said. “Sofar in many areas, the seasonlooks favorable for both deersightings and the opportunityfor harvest, based on reportsfrom the fields and forests.”

Acorns have been droppingover the past couple weeks,providing food for deer andalso giving hunters areas tofocus on for hunting andscouting. Deer are sheddingtheir reddish-brown summercoat in favor of the coarsegrey coat of fall and winter.In many parts of the state,crop harvest is just beginning,

which is a week or two laterthan normal.

The DNR strongly adviseshunters to review new deerhunting regulations, permitarea designations and bound-ary changes. Current and up-to-date information is avail-able on the deer hunting Webpage. Information about deermanagement and deer popu-lation goal setting is availableon the deer managementpage.

Hunting Season NotesNorthwestern Region

Deer numbers in the north-western region appear to beup from last year. Last winterbrought mild temperaturesand little snow. A conserva-tive 2014 deer season with alow number of antlerless per-mits issued has resulted inmore does and fawns on thelandscape. Hunters can ex-pect to see more deer fromthe stand this year. The north-western region offers a vari-ety of youth and adult deerhunting opportunities at mostof the region’s state parks andat Rydell National WildlifeRefuge. The cities of Bemidjiand Fergus Falls managearchery hunts, Red Lake Fallsoffers a deer hunt, several ofthe scientific and naturalareas offer a variety of deerhunting opportunities, andthere is a deer hunt for peoplewith disabilities in OrwellWildlife Sanctuary. Nearlytwo-thirds of the state’swildlife management areaacres are in the northwesternregion and are open for deerhunting as well.

Northeastern RegionIn northeastern Minnesota,

last winter wasn’t mild, but it

was milder than average.However, compared to someother areas of the state, a deerpopulation recovery in the re-gion can be slower because offactors including a shortergrowing season, fewer fawnsper doe on average, fewerdeer per square mile, winterseverity and predation.

In the southern portions ofthe northeastern region, win-ter severity was not as ex-treme, but population num-bers are still below target andare being managed for in-creases.

Duluth and some IronRange communities will holdspecial in-town hunts to re-duce the number of city deer.Permit areas around theAitkin and Brainerd areaswill generally be designatedas lottery with a limited num-ber of antlerless tags issued,and more permit areas will berestricted to bucks-only thefarther one travels north. Per-mit areas in the moose rangeare designated lottery tomaintain lower deer popula-tions.

Hunters who frequent thePillsbury State Forest in Cassand Crow Wing counties canexpect to encounter activesalvage logging operationsand other cleanup activitiesthroughout the fall and win-ter. The activity follows a se-vere wind storm July 12 thattoppled trees in portions ofthe state forest and surround-ing area between Brainerdand Nisswa.

Central RegionHunters in central Min-

nesota should expect to seemore deer than last year al-though many of the permitareas will continue to have

restrictive harvest regulationsin order to achieve new popu-lation goals. The exception isthe metro 601 permit areathat will again allow for un-limited antlerless deer har-vest.

Southeastern RegionIn the far southeastern per-

mit areas (346 and 349), anintensive harvest strategy willallow for harvest of up to fivedeer. These permit areas willalso have an early antlerlessseason that runs Thursday,Oct. 15, to Sunday, Oct. 18,providing opportunity to har-vest additional deer.

Opportunities abound fordeer hunting in the southeastduring the regular archery,two firearms and muzzle-loader seasons. Once again,300-series permit areas willbe open to a special youthseason over the weekend ofthe annual statewide teachers’conference when many stu-dents do not have schoolfrom Oct. 15-18.

Southwestern RegionIn southwestern Minnesota,

deer permit areas 234, 237and 286 will have a youth-only antlerless season in2015. With the exception ofyouth, veterans’ home resi-dents and hunters 84 years orolder, all other hunters are re-stricted to harvest legal bucksonly in these areas. The DNRtook this step to bring up deernumbers in these areas be-cause even conservativeantlerless quotas the past sev-eral years have resulted inantlerless harvests too highfor herd growth.

Conservative deer season in 2015will continue to build population

History

According the AmericanCancer Society, breast canceris the second most commoncancer among women. Aboutone in eight women borntoday in the U.S. will be di-agnosed with breast cancer atsome point. The good news isthat many can survive breastcancer if it’s found and treat-ed early. A mammogram–thescreening test for breast can-cer–can help find breast can-cer early, increasing the oddsof survival.

To enhance early detectionfor area residents, RidgeviewSibley Medical Center recent-ly upgraded its mammogra-phy technology to theSenographe® Essential full-field digital mammographysystem. This is the same ad-vanced equipment that isused at Ridgeview MedicalCenter in Waconia and at

Ridgeview’s Imaging Centerat Two Twelve Medical Cen-ter in Chaska.

“There are several patientbenefits with this digital sys-tem, including quicker examtimes, 20 percent less radia-tion and superb quality im-ages,” said Cindy Steenstra,director of Imaging Servicesat Ridgeview. “This advancedtechnology enhances the radi-ologists’ ability to detect ab-normalities and generate im-ages that are available imme-diately for viewing,”

Purchase of the new mam-mography system was madepossible through the generoussupport of the RidgeviewSibley Medical Foundation,which raised $12,000 at itsspring fundraiser event tohelp fund the purchase.

Principal’s Note Pad

By Tim ShellhammerSE Senior High Principal

September was quite themonth at Sibley East SeniorHigh. As a staff and studentbody, we’ve started the yearstrong and positioned our-selves to achieve great thingsduring the 15-16 school year.

“Who are we?” Currently,that question is driving theSenior High in Arlington.Eventually, we will be able toconfidently answer that ques-tion with “Who we are.”

As a collective unit, thestaff and student body haveimplemented several thingsschoolwide that we believe inand will rely upon throughoutthe current school year. Hereare some highlights –

1. Three Senior High Goals• We will increase student

achievement and eliminatethe achievement gap.

• We will investigate our

school climate and commit topromoting school pride andbuild up school morale.

• We will establish and ad-vance connections betweenthe school, home, and com-munity.

2. Teaching Staff estab-lished collective commit-ments to students, house-holds, and colleagues.

3. Student Body estab-lished collective commit-ments to classmates andteaching staff.

4. Teaching Staff formed asix member principal adviso-ry consisting of four teachers,one counselor, and one ad-ministrative assistant.

5. Student Body estab-lished a nine member princi-pal advisory consisting ofthree seniors, three juniors,and three sophomores.

6. Student Body estab-lished a six member spirit and

morale squad consisting oftwo seniors, two juniors, andtwo sophomores.

Very soon, more informa-tion regarding these high-lights will be found on theSenior High webpage andwill be sent out to SeniorHigh households.

As a senior high family, thenext big test for staff, stu-dents, households, and com-munity members will bemidterm grades prior to MEAbreak. At this time, we willbe able to measure progressregarding the first senior highgoal of increasing studentachievement and eliminatingthe achievement gap.

Finally, thanks to everyoneinvolved in homecoming fes-tivities. It was a spirit-filledweek, culminating in Friday’scoronation, parade, and foot-ball game.

‘Who are we?’ at the senior high school

local control and threateningcities with penalties if theydon’t meet certain populationgoals. This is not how weshould be doing business herein Minnesota.

Four counties of the sevencounty metro area under theauthority of the Met Councilare seeking legal action to puta stop to burdensome MetCouncil mandates and restoretrue local control. Elected of-ficials in these cities—not bu-reaucrats at the Met Coun-cil—should be the ones decid-ing the future for their cities

and towns. The Governor and most

DFLers support the MetCouncil and the SWLRT de-spite the glaring economic re-alities and have ignored theobjections of those residentswho will be most affected byit. They continue to funnelmore money into Metro proj-ects at the expense of GreaterMinnesota. We can have ro-bust economic growth for Sib-ley and McLeod County, butnot when government entitiesneglect rural areas and insteadpour more and more money

into the Metro and theseridiculous projects.

Always remember that gov-ernment boondoggle projectsenrich the few at the expenseof the many. Nobel prizewin-ning economist Milton Fried-man has stated, “If you putthe Federal Government incharge of the Sahara Desert,in five years there would be ashortage of sand.”

To The Editor,Many republican politi-

cians are nothing but hyp-ocrites, who like to shoot offat the mouth but have no con-victions behind their words.They are a bunch of spinelesscowards sitting in electivepositions, promising to thosewho voted for them what theywant. And yet every time thegoing gets tough they caveunder pressure putting theirtail between their legs cryingand giving up just like a littlebaby on the very convictionsthey say that they believe.

Planned Parenthood iskilling babies and republican

politicians will not defundthem, shame on them. Com-promise is the willingness toaccept what you don’t be-lieve, because you are notwilling to fight for what youdo believe. By doing this youare calling evil good andgood evil. Shame on you.You can smother murder withall kinds of fancy words likeabortion, mother’s rights, orit’s just a fetus but is stillmurder. Isaiah 14:9 says“Hell from beneath is excitedto meet you at your coming.”And that is exactly where allmurderers go. Our presidentsays that he is a Christian and

yet he will pass every bill thatcrosses his desk that calls forthe murder of the most inno-cent, the unborn. The republi-can politicians say that theyhave principles, but theyflush them down the toiletwhen it counts the most.Shame on You. DefundPlanned Parenthood Now.

The Gospel says “As-suredly I say to you, inas-much as you did it to one ofthe least of these Mybrethren, you did it to Me.”Judgment day is coming.

OpinionsUnanimous votes are too

frequent at some meetingsOur View: Voting against the flow is okay and

healthy when done respectfully

Letters To The Editor

There is a belief with some people that elected officialswho vote against the majority are negative individuals. Theyare sometimes labeled as elected officials who want to donothing but stir the pot or rock the boat. That could not befurther from the truth.

It is easy for elected officials to always vote with the major-ity. It takes courage for elected officials to sometimes voteagainst the flow. Constituents do not always share the samebelief or opinion on every issue and neither should electedofficials.

Unanimous votes are too frequent at some public meetings,but votes against the majority do occur. The Arlington CityCouncil had a 4-1 vote this past Monday night. The GreenIsle City Council had a 4-1 vote a couple weeks ago. TheSibley County Board has had several 4-1 votes the past fewmonths. The Sibley East School Board, late this summer, hada 5-1 vote.

These types of votes are refreshing to witness. These actsdemonstrate to the public that votes on all issues are not justa formality. It simply shows that some elected officials have adifferent view point on the same issue. Again, it takescourage for elected officials to stand up, but it is also their re-sponsibility to vote their true beliefs and the opinions frommany of their constituents.

Voting against the flow is okay and healthy, but it shouldalso be conducted in a respectful manner. Elected officialsneed to respect the vote of their fellow board member ormembers and then be able to move onto the next issue. In ad-dition, it is always helpful when elected officials who votedagainst the majority can offer an alternative choice or resolu-tion on the matter.

Who will win the World Series in the next weeks? Ask fiveor six people on the street and a variety of opinions will beoffered. It is a good bet that these five or six people will notshare the same opinion on this question. That should also bethe case with elected officials from time to time on differentissues at public meetings.

To The Editor,Yesterday the Commerce Depart-

ment released the individual insur-ance rates for 2016. This includesrates on the MNsure exchange, aswell as those who purchase individ-ual plans. When Democrats broughtObamacare to Minnesota they prom-ised a system that would increasechoice, decrease cost, and that Min-nesotans would be able to keepplans and doctors that they liked.

Instead, we’re seeing the opposite.Rates are going to rise for plans in2016 between 14 to 49 percent, witha plurality of consumers on the indi-vidual market seeing increases of 45percent or more. MNsure will nolonger offer platinum level plans,meaning headaches, hassles, andpossibly higher prices if those withplatinum plans want to stay on theircurrent plan.

Prices have continued to rise dra-matically for the past two yearsunder Obamacare. Since 2014, aver-age monthly premiums for a family

of four in Southeastern Minnesotawith a gold plan have risen $695 ad-ditional per month, and $376 forfamilies in Southern Minnesota.Gold plan premiums for a 40 yearold in Southwestern Minnesota haveincreased $154 per month.

These shocking increases are a farcry from promises made by Democ-rats, who said people could save$500 per year, and that some fami-lies could save well over $1000 peryear.

Simply put, MNsure and Oba-macare have failed Minnesotans andare causing more hassle andheadaches for people simply tryingto make a living and comply withfederally mandated insurance re-quirements. It’s well past time topull the plug on MNsure so we canat least save taxpayers from havingto spend millions more on this du-plicative program. The federal ex-change can provide the same fea-tures as a state exchange, withoutmillions of dollars from Minnesota

taxpayers.I strongly urge Governor Dayton

to continue pushing for the federalgovernment to grant us a waiver thatallows Minnesotans to access healthcredits outside of MNsure. Whyshould Minnesotans eligible for taxcredits only be able to access thosecredits by using the exchange? Ifthey find a plan outside the ex-change that fits their needs, there'sno reason we should restrict thoseoptions.

I anticipate many more discus-sions throughout the rest of interimand into next session on how we canaddress MNsure moving forward.We need to admit on a bipartisanbasis that the system isn't working,and roll up our sleeves and come upwith meaningful solutions to fix it.

Obamacare still isn’t working

To The Editor,In the Oct. 1 local paper, I saw

that Sibley East and attorney aregoing to sue Nathan Kranz for$2,903,424. The hearing will be atNov. 16 at the Sibley County Dis-trict Court in Gaylord.

Well first and foremost this wouldnot have happened if Sibley Eastand Jim Amsden would have pub-lished the school bond vote in legaltime in the paper. Jim Amsden ad-mitted he did not publish it in legaltime. To make this in legal time hewould have only had to change thedate for the vote to a different datewhere the cost would have been

about $13,000 compared to whatthey are going to sue Mr. Kranz.

Then let’s go back to just four orfive days before the school bondvote. There was an ad placed in thelocal paper by what was said to beconcerned farmers to vote yes forthe school bond for the Sibley Eastschool. Now this was not enoughtime for anyone to rebut this ad, andbeside the paper would not releasethe names of who these people were.I wonder if they were really farmersor who they really were. I’d like toknow and so would many otherfolks.

If you live in town you pay for

one house and one acre, but if youhave a farm you pay for one houseand all of your acres. I know this isthe law as of now, but when a law iswrong it must be changed, becauseany of the acres over one acre is tothe farmer the same as the workingman’s job. So then why not take apercentage of the working man’swages to pay for this bond? Andeach year for the next 20 years oruntil the bond is paid off.

You broke the law in the firstplace and now you want Mr. Kranzto pay for your mistake.

Don’t blame rural Gaylord resident Nathan Kranz

To The Editor,I appreciate an opportunity to ex-

change views with Joshua Storm onthe Southwest Light Rail Transit(SWLRT) project, which I stronglyoppose. I wish to clarify that I dosupport cost-effective Greater Min-nesota transit options and metrobuses, which are tax subsidized.

Mr. Storm leaves out several keypoints when evaluating the light railproject initiated by the Met Council.

SWLRT’s initial cost estimate was$1.289 billion, and has risen dramat-ically since 2012, peaking at an eye-popping $2 billion and finallyfalling a bit to its latest estimate of$1.770 billion. That amounts toabout $110 million per mile.

This outrageous price tag doesn'teven include future upgrades and re-pair work, which will cost taxpayerseven more.

A key economic principle iscalled the Return On Investment, orROI. When we apply this principleto the SWLRT project versus thecost of fixing or adding road lanes,we see that an additional lanearound 494 would cost only $10million per mile. Hundreds, perhapsthousands of miles of roads inGreater Minnesota could be rebuiltor replaced for a fraction of theSWLRT’s $1.7 billion price tag.

Minnesota has one of the highestprevailing wage laws in the nation,which artificially inflates the cost ofour road and bridge constructionprojects by 30 to 40 percent. It alsoaffects many county and city proj-ects. This will affect SWLRT projectas well.

When you compare the Return OnInvestment for SWLRT againstbuilding or replacing roads and

bridges, the answer is clear. Busi-nesses or governments can go bank-rupt if they ignore this economicprinciple.

In addition to the ridiculous pricetag, the portions of the Metro servedby SWLRT do not have the densityof population to justify the cost of alight rail project.

Light rail projects deplete stateand federal funds that could be usedon other projects like Highway 212and others that would help serve ourarea.

Instead of focusing on roads andbridges, the Met Council and MetroDemocrats want to build the lightrail and enable the building of high-density housing along the light railline. Simply put, they are ignoring
