teachers' master agreement
By Amy Newsom Correspondent
The Sibley East School Board, during its regular monthly meeting on Monday night, April 16, voted 5-0 and approved a motion to approve the 2017-2019 teachers' master agreement. Language changes are effective for the 2018-2019 school year.
School Board members Avery Grochow, Laura Reid, Missy Weber, Dan Woehler and Sarah Ziegler all voted in favor of the motion.
School Board member Brian Brandt abstained from the vote.
A summary of the changes provided by Sibley East Superintendent Jim Amsden include:
Memorandum of Understanding added back in for special education teachers allowing days for paperwork; district will cap insurance increases at 10 percent each year, anything over 10 per-
cent will be paid by the individual; entered into a new memorandum of understanding to look at the new licensing laws with Tiers 1 through 4 licenses and craft language for the contract prior to July 1, 2019; increase extra-curricular schedule 2 percent in 2017-2018 and 1 percent in 2018-2019; rebuilt salary schedule to make all steps even, add step 17+ for individuals who were on Step 17 last year only, increase step 17+ of 1.9 percent for 20172018, increase salary 2 percent for 2018-2019 and eliminate step 1; the reported contract package salary and benefit increase over 2 years will be 6.99 percent, (with current staffing, district teaching staff cost for salary and benefits will increase approximately 4 percent).
Changes to Days Out Of District (DOOD) include individuals receive 12 days down from 15; remaining
days put into an individual's bank up to a maximum of 135; when using DOOD for medical, family medical, or bereavement days 1 and 2 come out of this year's DOOD, additional days come from the individual's bank; for non-illness or bereavement individuals may only take 5 consecutive days of leave once in a three year period; only 10 percent of individuals per building may take pre-approved days; people with an excess of 135 DOOD days at the end of the year may sell back up to 8 days at a rate of $100 per day.
Woehler asked if the changes were something Sibley East could afford. Superintendent Amsden replied yes and said the changes were required to fill spots that would become available because of teacher retirements. He also felt the salary schedule and DOOD were right in line.

Landscaping at the SE Elementary School in Gaylord
By Amy Newsom
Correspondent Sibley East Elementary
Principal Mari Lu Martens and Sibley Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) approached the Sibley East School Board and asked for some landscaping plans for the Sibley East Elementary School in .
Martens is working with SWCD on a possible pollinator garden at the school. SWCD would also like to do-
nate one to two trees per year so the students can see the trees grow as they grow.
Martens said there were also some people who wanted to donate memorial trees and she did not want to plant them somewhere they would need to be moved in a few years.
She asked if a landscaper could be hired to draw a plan for free. School Board members felt that they may draw the plans for free, but would expect Sibley East to buy
plants. School Board member
Avery Grochow said the woman who designed the planters in Gaylord would be back in town this summer and she may be able to put something together. Grochow stated that if it costs a few hundred dollars he would pay her.
SWCD plans to have a presentation at the school next month and to hand out lilac bushes to all of the fifth graders. They will also plant
prairie plugs or pollinator plugs for a bee garden if a space has been established.
SWCD said the only cost to Sibley East would be to water the plants if it is a dry summer.
The Sibley East School Board will hold its next regular monthly meeting in Gaylord at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 21.

Parents voice concerns over teacher
By Amy Newsom Correspondent
Three parents, Vicki Pomplun, Lisa Otto, and Nicole Voight, attended the Sibley East School Board meeting on Monday night, April 16, to speak out against struggles with a certain teacher at the Sibley East Middle School/-High School in Arlington.
While the parents would not name the teacher, Otto stated they wanted to go to High School Principal Steve Harter, but lots of parents said "good luck" and that it was "a waste of time." She questioned the Sibley East policy to evaluate teachers.
Superintendent Jim Amsden stated that non-tenured teachers are evaluated three times per year, and tenured teachers once every three years. He reported that they rely heavily on peer evalua-
tions with other teachers, setting goals for the teacher, and then progressive discipline which ranges from a letter in the teacher's file to loss of position.
Sibley East District Attorney Tony Nerud recommended that parents keep a log of their concerns.
Pomplun questioned if an entire class is getting substandard grades is that a reason to look at the teacher? Nerud replied yes that it would be a reason to look at the teacher.
School Board member Laura Reid asked Superintendent Amsden if there was a complaint form on the website.
Superintendent Amsden reported that there was a complaint form, but he would have to check if it was still online.
School Board member
Missy Weber stated that it all comes down to communication. Even if other parents say it is a "waste of time" to contact someone, the school needs to be contacted to correct the problem.
School Board Chairperson Brian Brandt stated to follow the chain of command. If parents are not getting any support at the building level, then their next call should be to Superintendent Amsden. If that does not work, parents should call the School Board.
School Board member Avery Grochow stated that if parents feel discriminated against they should talk to Attorney Nerud. Nerud stated that his office was on Main Street and parents are welcome to stop by.
Principal proposes hybrid school schedule
By Amy Newsom Correspondent
Sibley East Principal Steve Harter reported to the Sibley East School Board that he was in the process of researching and probably implementing a new type of schedule for next year.
He stated that the current A/B schedule has a lot of positives; however, there are some negative aspects of the schedule that really need to be improved. He said the prior
eight-period schedule also had a lot of pros and cons, so he is looking at a hybrid of the two.
Harter is proposing an eight-period schedule on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and a four-period schedule on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Harter said fourhour periods were good for classes like science labs, but eight-hour periods were also good to build student/teacher rapport.
School Board member
Sarah Ziegler was concerned about the large amounts of homework during an eighthour period, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays.
School Board member Laura Reid suggested sixhour periods, but Harter stated it would be difficult to fit in elective classes.
Harter felt that the hybrid schedule was the best of both worlds.

Opinions
There is about one
month left in the
legislative session
Our View: Now is the time to contact
your state representative and senator
It does not seem like it with all the snow on the ground, but spring is already one month old and that means there is one month left of the 2018 Minnesota legislative session at the State Capitol in St. Paul. The legislative session officially ends on Monday, May 21.
The last four weeks will be very interesting. Governor Mark Dayton and state lawmakers from both major political parties will need to budge and compromise on their way to a final budget and votes on other key issues.
Now is a good time for elected officials to hear from their constituents again. This is especially important since State Representative Glenn Gruenhagen (R-Glencoe) and State Senator Scott Newman (R-Hutchinson) did not hold town hall meetings in Arlington and Green Isle this spring.
Telephone calls and e-mails from many citizens in this area can help influence Gruenhagen and Newman or sway their opinion as they define their priorities on the final budget and other important issues.
Gruenhagen can be contacted by phone at 320-864-6713 or by e-mail at rep.glenn.gruenhagen@house.mn.
Newman can be contacted by phone at 651-296-4131 or by e-mail at sen.scott.newman@senate.mn.
Again, now is the time for constituents to contact their elected officials and let their voices be heard.

***** A man named John was 32 years old and still single. One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who would make a good wife?" "Actually," John replied, "I've found women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn't like them." His friend thought for a moment and said, "You should find a girl who is just like your mother." A few months later John and his friend met again, and his friend asked, "Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?" With a frown on his face, John answered, "Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right. My mother liked her
very much." "Then what's the problem?" asked
the friend. John replied, "My father
doesn't like her." *****
A Sunday School teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her class of five and six-yearolds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked. "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

Letter To The Editor
County Commissioner clarifies some issues
To The Editor, This letter is to clarify some issues
presented in some recent letters to the editor. Although many facts were presented, missing details don't reflect the entire story.
The county board has tried to maintain a fund balance (cash on hand) of approximately 50% of the budget as recommended by the state auditor. The county basically gets paid twice a year during the tax season. With this in mind, more money is on hand until some projects are completed such as in the case of road reconstruction. This money is reserved for budgeted items but sits in the account until the bills come in. In other words, there is a lot of money in the account, but this isn't extra money available for other expenditures.
The board and administration also established a capital expenditures fund a couple years ago. Its purpose is to set aside money for future purchases whether it is for equipment, supplies, or for road improvements.
It is similar to individuals who put money aside for a future purchase of car or furniture. Once the money is saved up, the item can be purchased without getting a loan. The board reviews the items on the capital list each year to decide if priorities have changed. We are in that review process now. We are not just looking to see what we can spend some money on as letters to the editor suggest. Could we spend this fund down to zero to help pay for the courthouse renovations? Yes we could, but that would defeat the purpose of the capital fund and what most people do to save up for future needs. Letters have indicated that as a board, we are not looking out for saving taxpayer dollars. They seem to forget that we are also taxpayers and certainly aren't going to try to spend this money foolishly. We have maintained the tax levy at an average of under four percent for the past ten years while neighboring counties are regularly at a five to seven per cent increase.
Another issue is that the sound/recording system used at county board meetings is wearing out. The video has not been working correctly for quite some time. The insurance carrier for all counties in the state has recommended that we do not tape our meetings other than what is required for the open meeting law. Reasons they gave are that we may need to also provide language transcription among other issues to be ADA compliant. There has been an average of 2 requests per meeting to listen to the tapes. One newspaper asked us to continue taping and the board decided to keep it running until the system wears out.
I would ask that anyone who has questions about county board actions to please contact us so we can give you the correct information as well as the entire background for our actions.

Put everyday Minnesota families first
By Ken Martin DFL Chairman
As Minnesotans anxiously await their tax returns, the State Legislature faces its own looming tax deadline. Legislators have until the end of this session to respond to the federal Republican tax law. Their decision will determine whether our state has a tax system that unfairly favors the wealthy, or one that puts everyday Minnesotans first.
Any way you slice it, the tax law passed by President Trump and Republicans in Congress is a bad deal for Minnesotans. It unfairly favors big corporations at the expense of working families. In fact, nearly 50 percent of new individual federal tax cuts go to the richest few Americans, and corporations will see their taxes cut by 40 percent. Meanwhile, many
middle class families will see few benefits, or watch their taxes rise.
The stakes are high here in Minnesota. If state legislators fail to take action, over 300,000 families will see a steep tax increase. Fully conforming to the federal Republican law would be even worse. If the legislature does that, over 870,000 families will see a tax increase of nearly $500 on average.
Luckily, Governor Mark Dayton has put forward a third and better option. His plan separates our state income tax system from the federal government, giving us control over the fairness of our own taxes and the stability of our revenues. It would protect Minnesotans from state tax increases caused by the Republican tax law and cut taxes for over two million Minnesotans.
Governor Dayton's proposal would repeal unaffordable tax breaks enacted last year by Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature that threaten our state's fiscal stability. It would roll back tax breaks for tobacco companies, huge property tax cuts for corporations, and estate tax cuts for the wealthiest Minnesotans while protecting estate tax benefits for farmers and small businesses.
While no one is ever particularly excited for tax season, Minnesota has the opportunity to make it much less painful for hard-working families. But we need your voice. Contact your local legislators and let them know that you support Governor Dayton's tax plan to put everyday families first.

Caden Frauendienst will collect, package
and send care boxes to military personnel
An Eagle Scout Project by Caden Frauendienst is to collect, package, and send care boxes to our military personnel currently serving overseas.
The project is being called Operation Military Appreciation.
Frauendienst, who currently has his Life rank, has been a member of Boy Scout Troop #140 for the past 10 years. He is currently working toward his Eagle. In order to achieve Eagle Scout, which is the highest rank in Boy Scouting, a scout must earn his Life Rank, be active in his troop, demonstrate in his daily life that he lives by the principles of the Scout Oath and Law, complete a community service project, and earn a total of 21 merit badges. Among these merit badges are Citizenship in the Nation, Lifesaving, Personal
Management, Environmental Science, and Communication.
Frauendienst chose Operation Military Appreciation as his service project. "I don't feel that our troops receive the appreciation they deserve." he said. "The items on my wishlist are everyday items for us, but they are not readily available to our servicemen and women serving overseas."
Help show appreciation to our military men and women by donating today.
The collection drive will run from Sunday, April 22, through Sunday, May 13.
A complete wish lists of requested items are available at drop box locations.
The drop boxes will be located at Jerry's Home Quality Foods in Arlington, Cornerstone State Bank of Green Isle, and Peace Lutheran Church in Arlington.

Free advance care planning sessions hosted by Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center in Arlington
In health care settings, families may feel conflicted as they struggle to make difficult health care decisions for a loved one. When patients are incapable of making their own choices, family members are called upon to make decisions which can cause stress, uncertainty and guilt if conversations do not happen in advance.
Along with other Minnesota hospitals, Ridgeview Sibley Medical Center participates in Honoring Choices Minnesota, an initiative focused on creating awareness and providing resources for advance care planning.
Advance care planning is a process which helps you think about, talk about, and document your choices for future health care decisions. While it's not an easy topic of conversation, it is important for
every adult to have a Health
Care Directive ? a written
plan for loved ones and health
care providers to follow ? so
that your wishes are known if
you cannot speak for yourself.
Honoring Choices Min-
nesota is focused on helping
every adult understand ad-
vance care planning, and
working with health care
providers to make sure they
offer assistance to all patients,
and will honor your choices.
Ridgeview is hosting a free
information session in Confer-
ence Room A at the
Ridgeview Sibley Medical
Center in Arlington from 5
p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday,
May 8.

All airplanes manufactured in the United States for the Army and Navy will bear a red, white and blue bull's-eye of three concentric circles similar to the insignia of allied planes on the wings and vertical red, white and blue stripes on the rudders.
An automobile, which is attracting considerable attention, is being displayed by Mueller Bros., local Ford dealers. It is a Ford Sedan, or enclosed touring car. It is elaborately upholstered and the body is constructed of steel and plate glass windows.
The people of Green Isle experienced another bad fire scare last Thursday afternoon, which resulted in the total destruction of an old barn which stood across the street from St. Brendan's church. The barn was an old frame structure and caused a serious blaze, which was fanned by an east wind. The steeple of the church also caught on fire and was extinguished with difficulty.

At a meeting held in Glencoe Tuesday evening the Arlington baseball team transferred its affections and allegiance from the Tomahawk to the Midwest league and became a recognized member of the latter organization for the 1933 season.
A clogged sewer main on the south side of the village kept the village authorities on the jump for several days the past week and also caused considerable inconvenience to some of the residents of that neighborhood. The sewer ceased to function very suddenly and the sewage backed up into the basements of some of the homes. After the clog was located workmen had to dig down a
distance of 25 feet to the main, discovering several broken tile which had to be replaced. The tile had apparently been broken when the sewer was put in four years ago and this part of the system never did function properly as a result.
Arlington's two banking institutions, the Farmers & Merchants State Bank and the First State Bank, which have been operating under restrictions of the state banking department since the presidential holiday was proclaimed on March 5, have called a meeting of depositors at the Community Hall tonight (Thursday). The object of the meeting, we understand, is to present a plan outlined by the state banking department by which the banks will again be permitted to operate on a more liberal basis or, in other words, to accept deposits, make loans and handle checking accounts. Consolidation of the two banks is also a matter which is being considered, according to reports.

A snow storm which had earmarks of a blizzard swept through this area Wednesday. Several inches of wet snow came down and was churned by a brisk wind from the northwest. Fortunately, the temperature remained above freezing and most of the snow melted as it fell. The storm
abated later in the afternoon. Announcement was made at
St. Mary's church last Sunday of the approaching marriage of Miss Helen Thomes and Norbert Brau, two well known young people of this community.

Principal's Note Pad
By Steve Harter Sibley East Middle School/ High School Principal
Up until seven years ago the Sibley East student schedule (or matrix) had been the same for many years. The Sibley East Junior High and Senior High had always used the eight-period day to manage the school day. The eightperiod day meant that the students would attend eight (or maybe only seven) classes each day. The length of the class period was approximately forty-two minutes long with a four minute passing time between the periods. One of the beneficial aspects of this schedule was that the students and teachers were able to meet with each other every day. This was especially important for those students who missed a day because of sickness, etc.; they could meet with their teachers the next day to discuss what they missed. This student/teacher interaction is one of the reasons that we are considering
changing our current schedule to one that incorporates some of the aspects of the eight-period day.
For the last seven years we have been using an A/B schedule. In this schedule, classes meet four times per day for approximately eightythree minutes. The A/B indicates that four classes meet in "A" days and four different classes meet on "B" days. One of the reasons we switched to this type of schedule was so that teachers would have greater amount of time for labs, demonstrations, etc.. This worked just as we expected that it would. The science and vocational staff have really been able to take advantage of the "hands-on time" that the A/B schedule has allowed. However, we have realized that with the A/B there is also a decrease in the frequency of contact between the students and staff.
Both schedules (8-period and A/B) have pros and cons. Consequently, we are current-
ly in the planning stages for making a change in the type of schedule that we use at the Sibley East Middle School/High School. We are looking at using a hybrid of the two previously mentioned schedules. The tentative schedule would look something like this: On Monday, Tuesday and Friday have an eight-period day and on Wednesday and Thursday have a four-period "A/B" schedule.
One of the aspects of the change that I think has students somewhat skeptical is the increased frequency of home work on the eight-period schedule; this is an issue that we will need to be aware of in our discussions regarding this change. Both schedules have their own inherent advantages and disadvantages. It is our hope that a hybrid of the two schedules will produce the "best of both worlds."
I will discuss this more in the future.

SE baseball team returns 11 seniors this spring
By Kurt Menk Editor
The Sibley East varsity boys baseball team, under the direction of head coach Dan Tackmann, returns 11 seniors this spring.
The 11 seniors include Gavin Bates, Alex Borjas, Connor Deis, Kevin Durham, Sam Kistner, Holden Lindquist, Paul Schmidt, Kristian Schow, Josh Sorenson, Brennen St. John and Austin Weckwerth.
The juniors are Max Bartels, Adan Cardenas, Aaron
Deis, Brandon Donaldson, Colton Harens, Carter Kistner, Ty Knacke, Austin Schwartz and Ryan Wolverton.
The sophomores consist of Justin Allison, JaBez Bates, Tony Bullert, Lincoln Carpenter, Nathan Devries, Lucas Dose, Tom Mayer and Matt Messner.
"The guys are still eager to play baseball even though practices have been inside for over a month," said Tackmann. "It's been monotonous without even being able to get outside to catch fly balls. But,
the guys are staying positive and know that everyone in the whole state is in the same boat."
Tackmann said the Wolverines return a lot of experience both defensively and offensively.
"Many of the seniors played many innings last year," said Tackmann. "But, we also know that pitching is the key to any team. If we can throw strikes we should be able to play defense with our returning experience."
Tackmann added, "Even
though the season is going to be condensed because of the weather, we still want to show continual improvement as the season progresses. The Minnesota River Conference is very competitive and we need to be ready for every game."
Due to the recent heavy snowfall, it is uncertain when the season will start.
Tackmann is assisted by Bsquad coach Paul Pichelmann and C-squad coach Collin Grams.

that should guide us along the way. The overall depth of talent in our program continues to grow. "With the work the girls are putting in during the off season and during the season, we should see improvement come out on the field."
Schultz said hitting is key for the Lady Wolverines and a part of the game the team needs to improve upon.
"We have made it one of our top goals as we get ready for our first games," Schultz said.
She said Sibley East is looking to be over .500 this season and a top contender in the Minnesota River Conference. Schultz predicted that Jordan and Belle Plaine are the preseason MRC favorites.
Due to the recent heavy
snowfall, it is uncertain when the season will start.
Schultz is assisted by junior varsity coach Dave Strack. Chad Bachman is the eighth grade coach while Kelsey Sunvold is the seventh grade coach.

Gaylord and Green Isle receive grants
The Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council is pleased to announce that grants of $110,590 from the Arts and Culture Heritage Fund have been awarded to eighteen arts organizations, community groups and schools in the region. This fund was created by the people of Minnesota to support the arts and preserve our heritage. The Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, passed by the voters in 2008, created new resources for land conservation, water conservation, parks and the Arts.
In Region Nine these grants were awarded to organizations to increase their artistic offerings and to provide a variety of activities including: arts festivals, instrumental and vocal music concerts, theater and dance performances, visual art exhibitions, art classes, artist residencies, public art, etc. Arts and Cultural Heritage Grants were awarded to each of these eighteen non-profit organiza-
tions ranging from $1,000 to $8,000 for a total of $110,590.
Two Sibley County organizations received arts grants totaling $8,190.
The Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce received $5,000 and will sponsor "Music on Main" with twelve weekly concerts by Minnesota musicians in downtown Gaylord, June through August 2018. The funds will be used for the performer's artist fees and publicity.
The Green Isle Community School received $3,190 and will sponsor an Artist in Residency where students interview an elder from the community and work with local artists to create a play and music based on the elder's life. Public performance of the work will be May 24, 2018. The funds will be used for artist fees and travel, publicity and rental fees.
