It has taken a lot ofwork, time and effort bymany individuals to make itto this point, but all of thatwork has finally paid off.This is a significant achieve-ment that will benefit theRenville and Sibley countyresidents in so many ways. Itis very satisfying to see fiberoptic cable being installed!”

The RS Fiber Cooperativeand Hiawatha Broadband

Communications, Inc. (HBC)anticipate offering serviceswith fiber to approximately1,600 homes and businessesand cover 90 percent of theservice area with high-speedwireless services in late 2015.By the end of 2016 the num-ber of homes and businessesthat can be served with fiberwill climb to 4,200. Uponfinal completion, the RSFiber Cooperative will oper-ate a fiber optic network formost of Sibley County andportions of Renville, Nicollet,and McLeod Counties.

Over 6,200 potential cus-tomers will be able to use thishigh-speed fiber optic net-work, which will provide dataspeeds that can be over tentimes faster than speeds of-fered by current serviceproviders. Construction willbe completed in two phasesover the next five to six years

with Phase One now under-way. The initial network con-struction phase is projected tocost $15 million.

The original project beganin 2012 and was restructuredby the joint-powers board asa private cooperative, makingit easier to finance and great-ly lowering financial risk. Asthe project was refined, andthe engineering and financialmodels revised, the total proj-ect cost was reduced by over30 percent. The RS Fiberproject is funded through is-sued bonds and commercialloans.

The project is moving for-ward under the managementof Hiawatha BroadbandCommunications. HBC isoverseeing the design, devel-opment and construction ofthe fiber optic network, aswell as day-to-day manage-ment duties. HBC is an expe-

rienced operator of similarlydesigned, rural fiber opticnetworks in 17 communitiesthroughout southeastern Min-nesota including Red Wing,Wabasha, Lewiston, LakeCity, Plainview, Dover, Eyotaand Elgin.

HBC’s experience in devel-oping rural fiber networkshas helped the RS FiberBroadband initiative gain mo-mentum and successfullyreach the groundbreakingstage.

Arlington residents are re-minded that a new stop signwill soon be erected at thecorner of Henderson Roadand First Avenue South.

There are currently stopsigns at two sides of this in-tersection. A third stop sign isbeing added for safety rea-sons. It will eventually be anall-way stop.

The City Council, lastmonth, made the move after arecommendation from PoliceChief Cory Danner andStreets Superintendent TonyVoigt.

The city intends to place aflag on top of the new stopsign to draw attention to it.

Since motorists will not beused to the new stop sign,City Council member GalenWills also suggested that thepolice department issue onlywarnings at that location forthe first 60 days.

Most older people are inde-pendent. But later in life es-pecially in the 80s and 90s,you or someone you knowmay begin to need help witheveryday activities like shop-ping, cooking, walking, orbathing. For many people,regular or "long-term" caremay mean a little help fromfamily and friends or regularvisits by a home health aide.For others who are frail orsuffering from dementia,long-term care may involvemoving to a place where pro-fessional care is available 24hours a day.

The good news is that fam-ilies have more choices inlong-term care than ever be-fore. Today, services can pro-vide the needed help whileletting you stay active andconnected with family,friends, and neighbors. Theseservices include home healthcare, adult day care, andtransportation services forfrail seniors as well as fostercare, assisted living and re-tirement communities, andtraditional nursing homes.

Planning AheadThe key to successful long-

term care is planning. You oryour family may need tomake a decision in a hurry,often after an unexpectedemergency like a broken hip.Be prepared by getting infor-mation ahead of time. Thatway, you will know what's

available and affordable be-fore there is a crisis. To start:

• If you are having troublewith things like bathing, man-aging finances, or driving,talk with your doctor andother health care profession-als about your need for help.

• If you are helping a fami-ly member or friend, talkabout the best way to meethis or her needs. If you needhelp for yourself, talk withyour family. For instance, ifyou are having trouble mak-ing your meals, do you wantmeals delivered by a localprogram or would you likefamily and friends to help?Would you let a paid aide inyour home? If you don'tdrive, would you like a friendor bus service to take you tothe doctor or other appoint-ments?

• Learn about the types ofservices and care in yourcommunity. Doctors, socialworkers, and others who seeyou for regular care may havesuggestions.

• Find out how you may ormay not be covered by insur-ance. The Federal Medicareprogram and private "Medi-gap" insurance only offershort-term home health andnursing home benefits.

Be aware that figuring outcare for the long term isn'teasy. Needs may change overtime. What worked 6 monthsago may no longer apply. In-surance coverage is often

very limited and families mayhave problems paying forservices. In addition, rulesabout programs and benefitschange, and it's hard to knowfrom one year to the nextwhat may be available.

A Need For More CareAt some point, support

from family, friends, or localmeal or transportation pro-grams may not be enough. Ifyou need a lot of help witheveryday activities, you mayneed to move to a placewhere care is availablearound-the-clock. There aretwo types of residential care:

• Assisted living arrange-ments are available in largeapartment or hotel-like build-ings or can be set up as"board and care" homes for asmall number of people.They offer different levels ofcare, but often include meals,recreation, security, and helpwith bathing, dressing, med-ication, and housekeeping. ·

• Skilled nursing facilitiesalso known as "nursinghomes” provide 24-hour serv-ices and supervision. Theyprovide medical care and re-habilitation for residents, whoare mostly very frail or sufferfrom the later stages of de-mentia. Sometimes, healthcare providers offer differentlevels of care at one site.These "continuing care com-munities" often locate an as-sisted living facility next to a

nursing home so that peoplecan move from one type ofcare to another if necessary.Several offer programs forcouples, trying to meet needswhen one spouse is doingwell but the other has becomedisabled.

Finding The Right PlaceTo find the residential pro-

gram that's best for you: • Ask questions. Find out

about specific facilities inyour area. Doctors, friendsand relatives, local hospitaldischarge planners and socialworkers, and religious organi-zations can help. Other typesof residential arrangements,like "board and care" homes,do not follow the same Feder-al, state, or local licensing re-quirements or regulations asnursing homes. Talk to peo-ple in your community orlocal social service agenciesto find out which facilitiesseem to be well run.

• Call. Contact the placesthat interest you. Ask basicquestions about vacancies,number of residents, costsand method of payment, andparticipation in Medicare andMedicaid. Also think aboutwhat's important to you, suchas transportation, meals,housekeeping, activities, spe-cial units for Alzheimer's dis-ease, or medication policies.

Story Hour In Green IsleThese children played Three Billy Goats Gruffduring the Story Hour event in Green Isle onTuesday morning, July 7. Front Row: (left toright) Ava Bruegger, Parker Sprengeler andAleah Parrott. Back Row: Preston Sprengeler(troll). In Green Isle, the Story Hour is held in

the Community Room from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.every Tuesday and Thursday. In Arlington, theStory Hour is held in the Senior Citizens Build-ing at Four Seasons Park from 10 a.m. to 11a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

• Visit. When you find aplace that seems right, go talkto the staff, residents, and, ifpossible, family members ofresidents. Set up an appoint-ment, but also go unan-nounced and at different timesof the day. See if the stafftreats residents with respectand tries to meet the needs ofeach person. Check if thebuilding is clean and safe. Areresidents restrained in anyway? Are social activities andexercise programs offered--and enjoyed? Do residentshave personal privacy? Is thefacility secure for people andtheir belongings? Eat a meal

there to see if you like thefood.

• Understand. Once youhave made a choice, be sureyou understand the facility'scontract and financial agree-ment. It's a good idea to havea lawyer look them over be-fore you sign.

A Smooth TransitionMoving from home to a

long-term care facility ornursing home is a big change.It affects the whole family.Some facilities or communitygroups have a social workerwho can help you prepare forthe change. Allow some time

to adjust after the move hastaken place.

Regular visits by family andfriends are important. Theycan be reassuring and com-forting. Visits are necessary,too, for keeping an eye on thecare that is being given.

Years ago, it was a big deal when politicians an-nounced their candidacy to run for president of theUnited States. This year, in the Republican Party, it isalmost a daily occurrence. The field is getting socrowded that the average person almost needs a score-card to keep track of all the candidates.

The large number of candidates is good for democra-cy, but not so good for the Republican Party.

Unlike the Democratic Party, there is no clear frontrunner in the Republican Party. Candidates in thiscrowded field will need to use additional resources andno doubt beat up on each other during the primaries.

Another fear is that candidates could adopt radicalopinions on various issues in an attempt to distinguishthemselves from other candidates. This could turn theprimaries into a circus.

The Republican Party will also have a debate prob-lem. It will be a challenge to arrange as many as 20candidates on a single stage for debates which willstart in August. The Republican Party will need to con-sider certain criteria, such as poll numbers andfundraising, to qualify for debates.

In the long run, the large number of candidates willscatter votes and any support for one person thateveryone can get behind.

*****After losing another tooth, eight-

year-old Timmy became more curi-ous about the elusive tooth fairy.

Finally putting two and two to-gether, he came right out and askedhis mother, “Mom, are you the toothfairy?”

Assuming he was old enough tohear the truth, she replied, “Yes, Iam.”

Timmy seemed to take this newsquite well. But as he headed for thedoor, he slowly turned back towardhis mother with a curious look on hisface and said, “Wait a minute. Howdo you get into the other kids’houses?”

*****Eight-year-old Sally brought her

report card home from school.Her grades were good — mostly

A’s and a couple of B’s. However,her teacher had written across thebottom: “Sally is a smart little girl,but she has one fault. She talks toomuch in school. I have an idea I am

going to try, which I think maybreak her of the habit.”

Sally’s dad signed her reportcard, putting a note on the back:“Sally gets it from her mother.Please let me know if your ideaworks.”

*****At a wedding rehearsal, the minis-

ter told the father of the bride, “Asyou give your daughter’s hand to thebridegroom, you should say some-thing nice to him.”

The father, a grocery store man-ager, took the advice. During thewedding ceremony, he placed thebride’s hand on his son-in-law’sarm and said, “No deposit, no re-turn.”

*****Sam walks into his boss’s office.

“Sir, I’ll be straight with you, I knowthe economy isn’t great, but I haveover three companies after me, and Iwould like to respectfully ask for araise.”

After a few minutes of haggling,the boss finally agrees to a five-per-cent raise, and Sam happily gets upto leave.

”By the way,” asks the boss asSam is getting up, “which threecompanies are after you?”

“The electric company, watercompany, and phone company,”Sam replies.

*****The Smiths were proud of their

family tradition. Their ancestors hadcome to America on the Mayflower.They had included Senators andWall Street wizards.

They decided to compile a familyhistory, a legacy for their childrenand grandchildren. They hired a fineauthor. Only one problem arose -how to handle that great-uncleGeorge, who was executed in theelectric chair.

The author assured the family hecould handle the story as tactfully aspossible and was given the go-aheadto write the book.

The book appeared. It said“Great-uncle George occupied achair of applied electronics at animportant government institutionand was attached to his positionby the strongest of ties. His deathcame as a great shock.”

By Lee H. HamiltonMembers of Congress get catego-

rized in all sorts of ways. They’reliberal or conservative; Republicanor Democrat; interested in domesticaffairs or specialists in foreign poli-cy.

There’s one very important cate-gory, though, that I never hear dis-cussed: whether a member wants tobe an inside player or an outsideplayer. Yet where members fall onthe continuum helps to shape the in-stitution of Congress.

First, I should say that the cate-gories are not hard and fast. Somepoliticians are insiders part of thetime and outsiders at other times.Still, most fall on one side of theline or other, especially as they goon in their careers.

Insiders focus on making the in-stitution work. They tend to givefewer speeches on the floor, issuefewer press releases, and spend lesstime considering how to play thepublic relations game or how toraise money. Instead, they put inlong, tedious hours on the minutiaeof developing legislation, attendinghearings, listening to experts, ex-ploring policy options, and workingon building consensus. They’re ded-icated to finding support for a bill ora set of proposals wherever theycan, and they appreciate the necessi-ty of bipartisanship.

They’re constantly engaged innetworking and so tend to be popu-lar within the Congress —they havethe respect of their colleagues be-cause other members know these arethe people who make the institutionmove forward. They’re the ones

who do the necessary work of legis-lating.

Outsiders pass through the institu-tion of Congress, but many of themare using Congress — and especial-ly the House of Representatives —as a stepping-stone to another office:the Senate, a governorship, the pres-idency.

On Capitol Hill, these people be-have very differently from insiders.They raise money aggressively, puta lot of effort into developing a pub-lic persona, and are consumed withpublic relations. They travel a lotand take every opportunity they canto meet and address conferences andlarge organizations. They churn outpress releases and speak on the flooron every topic they can find some-thing to deliver an opinion about.

They miss votes more frequentlythan insiders, and often do not at-tend committee hearings. They tendnot to socialize with other members,and so generally are not as popularas insiders. When they do attend acommittee hearing, they use it as aplatform to help them build a con-stituency beyond their own districtor state. They tend to be more parti-san than insiders, because they areseeking to build a political base.They’re often impatient with Houseand Senate traditions, and are impa-tient with the democratic process.

I remember late one night — actu-ally, it was more like 3:00 or 4:00 inthe morning— standing behind therail of the House talking with acharismatic, charming congressmanfrom the South. He’d been in theHouse for only a term or two, andwas chagrined at the parliamentary

tangle we were working our waythrough that night. “Lee,” he said,“how can you stand this place? I’mgoing to go home and run for gover-nor!” And he did.

I want to be clear that I’m notmaking a judgment here as to whichkind of member is more valuable. Imay prefer to spend my time withinsiders, but both are needed tomake the system work. You have tohave members reaching out to thebroader public, talking about the bigissues and engaging Americans inthe issues of the day. And you needpeople on the inside who are dedi-cated to resolving those issues by at-tending to the legislation that willmake this possible.

The truth is, Congress wouldn’twork if everyone were an outsideplayer. The process is tedious: espe-cially when you’re trying to draft abill, you get into arcane argumentsover language; you have to go lineby line over the bill and eachamendment. Outsiders have little pa-tience for this process, and oftendon’t show up for it.

Yet if everyone were an insider,the country would be deprived ofthe dialogue, debate, and sheer spec-tacle that give Americans a sense ofstake and participation in the policy-making process.

Lee Hamilton is Director of theCenter on Congress at Indiana Uni-versity; Distinguished Scholar, IUSchool of Global and InternationalStudies; and Professor of Practice,IU School of Public and Environ-mental Affairs. He was a member ofthe U.S. House of Representativesfor 34 years.

We need both insiders and outsiders in Congress

To The Editor,We recently took a drive to see the

new hiking trail, new bridges androad out to the Sportsmen’s Park.Very nice. However, the road in the

park is very bad shape - full of lowspots and very bumpy.

With all the money spent to up-grade the road to the park, couldn’tsome money be spent on the road in

the park?Thanks for listening.

Anglers are never far froma lake where they can catchwalleye in Minnesota. Fishstocking keeps it that way.

Stocking walleyes involvestaking eggs from waters thathave reproducing walleyepopulations and releasingnewly hatched fry or smallwalleye fingerlings into lakesthat don’t have reproducingpopulations.

The Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources pays forits stocking effort with fish-ing license and walleye stampdollars. This year, the processstarted April 8 in the PikeRiver near Tower, used eightegg-take sites and endedApril 26 in Fergus Falls.

Curious about walleyestocking? Here’s a snapshot,by the numbers.

2015 stocking effortEggs taken: 4,655 quarts of

eggs, or 582 million eggs,

close to the 10-year average.2015 stocking plan: 286

rearing ponds get 115 millionfry and 272 lakes get 296million fry. The goal for fin-gerling stocking is about140,000 pounds.

General walleye stocking stats

Length of a walleye fry:about 1/3-inch.

Length of a walleye finger-ling: 4- to 6-inches.

Lakes stocked with walleye(each lake usually every otheryear): about 1,050, all overthe state.

Lakes where, without anystocking, anglers could stillcatch walleye: 260, mostly inthe northern half of the state.

Estimated percentage ofwalleye harvested that resultfrom natural reproduction: 85percent, with about half frompopular walleye lakes likeLake of the Woods, Leech,

Red and Winnibigoshish.Cost of an easy way to sup-

port walleye stocking: $5, tobuy a walleye stamp, soldwherever Minnesota huntingand fishing licenses are sold.

Stocking other fishThe DNR also rears and

stocks catfish, muskellunge,lake sturgeon and northernpike using 11 warm-waterhatcheries; and stream trout,lake trout and splake in fivecold-water hatcheries. To pro-vide youth fishing opportuni-ties in numerous Twin Citiesmetro area lakes, the agencystocks bluegill, channel cat-fish, crappie, largemouthbass, northern pike, perch andwalleye.

Walleye stocking: By the numbers

Minnesota’s breeding mal-lard population counts aredown from last year whileother species saw increases,according to the results of theannual Minnesota Depart-ment of Natural Resourcesspring waterfowl surveys.

This year’s mallard breed-ing population was estimatedat 206,000, which is 20 per-cent below last year’s esti-mate of 257,000 breedingmallards, 17 percent belowthe recent 10-year averageand 10 percent above thelong-term average measuredsince 1968.

The blue-winged teal popu-lation is 169,000 this year, 66percent above the 2014 esti-mate of 102,000, but the pop-ulation remains 21 percentbelow the long-term averageof 212,000 blue-winged teal.

The combined populationsof other ducks, such as ring-necked ducks, wood ducks,gadwalls, northern shovelers,canvasbacks and redheadswas 149,000, which is 29 per-cent higher than last year and16 percent below the long-term average.

The estimate of total duckabundance (excluding scaup)was 524,000, similar to lastyear’s estimate of 474,000ducks.

The estimated number ofwetlands was 220,000, down36 percent from last year, and

13 percent below the long-term average. Wetland num-bers can vary greatly basedon annual precipitation.

“We generally expect tosee lower duck numbers dur-ing dry years. We did seelower mallard numbers thisyear, but blue-winged tealand other duck numbers wereimproved from last year,”said Steve Cordts, DNR wa-terfowl specialist. “In addi-tion to our counts, the conti-nental waterfowl populationestimates will be released bythe U.S. Fish and WildlifeService later this summer andthey provide an indicator ofwhat hunters can expect thisfall.”

The same waterfowl surveyhas been conducted each yearsince 1968 to provide an an-nual index of breeding duckabundance. The survey cov-ers 40 percent of the state thatincludes much of the best re-maining duck breeding habi-tat in Minnesota.

A DNR waterfowl biologistand pilot count all waterfowland wetlands along estab-lished survey routes by flyinglow-level aerial surveys froma fixed-wing plane. The sur-vey is timed to begin in earlyMay to coincide with peaknesting activity of mallards.The U.S. Fish and WildlifeService provides groundcrews who also count water-

fowl along some of the samesurvey routes. These data arethen used to correct for birdsnot seen by the aerial crew.

Canada GeeseThis year’s Canada goose

population was estimated at250,000 geese, which wassimilar to last year’s estimateof 244,000 geese. Thisdoesn’t include an additionalestimated 17,500 breedingCanada geese in the TwinCities metropolitan area.

“The number of Canadageese in Minnesota remainshigh but the population hasbeen very stable for manyyears. With the early springthis year, we should see agood hatch of goslings aswell,” Cordts said.

The number of breedingCanada geese in the state isestimated via a helicopter sur-vey of nesting Canada geesein April. The survey, whichincludes most of the state ex-cept for the Twin Cities met-ropolitan area, counts Canadageese on randomly selectedplots located in prairie, transi-tion and forested areas.

The DNR will announcethis fall’s waterfowl huntingregulations later this summer.Read the Minnesota water-fowl report online.

Minnesota’s ruffed grousespring drumming counts wereunchanged this year com-pared to last year, accordingto a survey conducted by theDepartment of Natural Re-sources.

This follows a significantincrease of 34 percent from2013 to 2014, said CharlotteRoy, DNR grouse projectleader. “While it can be tenu-ous to compare the results ofonly one year to the next, wesuspect the cold, wet springof 2014 may have hurt grouseproduction,” she said. “Wealso had comparatively littlesnow last year for roosting,which may have influencedoverwinter survival.”

Drumming is a low soundproduced by males as theybeat their wings rapidly andin increasing frequency tosignal the location of their

territory. Drumming displaysalso attract females that areready to begin nesting.

Compared to last year’ssurvey, 2015 survey resultsfor ruffed grouse showed nostatistical change in all re-gions of the state. In thenortheast survey region,which is the core of grouserange in Minnesota, countswere 1.3 drums per stop; inthe northwest there were 1.0drums per stop; in the centralhardwoods, 0.7 drums perstop; and in the southeast, 0.4drums per stop.

Ruffed grouse populations,which tend to rise and fall ona 10-year cycle, are surveyedby counting the number ofmale ruffed grouse hearddrumming on establishedroutes throughout the state’sforested regions. This yearobservers recorded 1.1 drums

per stop statewide. The aver-ages during 2013 and 2014were 0.9 and 1.1, respective-ly. Counts vary from about0.6 drums per stop duringyears of low grouse abun-dance to about 2.0 duringyears of high abundance.

Drumming counts are anindicator of the ruffed grousebreeding population. Thenumber of birds present dur-ing the fall hunting seasonalso depends upon nestingsuccess and chick survivalduring the spring and sum-mer. For the past 66 years,DNR biologists have moni-tored ruffed grouse popula-tions. This year, DNR staffand cooperators from 12 or-ganizations surveyed 126routes across the state.

Sharp-tailed grousecounts remain steady

Statewide sharp-tailed

grouse counts were similar in2015 compared to 2014 onboth the regional andstatewide levels. Observerslook for male sharptails dis-playing on traditional matingareas, called leks or dancinggrounds.

This year’s statewide aver-age of 9.8 grouse counted perdancing ground was similarto the long-term averagesince 1980. The 2009 averageof 13.6 was as high as duringany year since 1980. Duringthe last 25 years, the sharp-tailed grouse index has beenas low as seven birds countedper dancing ground.

The DNR’s 2015 grousesurvey report, which containsinformation on ruffed grouseand sharp-tailed grouse, isavailable online.

Ruffed grouse counts similar to last year
