Despite reporting a lowcollection rate for the cost ofthe detox program, SibleyCounty Public Health andHuman Services DirectorVicki Stock said it is gettingbetter at the April 23 meetingof the board of commission-ers.

The 2012 detox reportshowed Sibley County wasbilled $19,206 for servicesprovided by the Brown Coun-ty Detox Center. After$3,332.80 was collected andanother $3,903.20 was writ-ten off, the balance of costsowed to the county was$16,292.

“From $2001 we have a lit-tle over $101,000 still owedto us from people who werein detox,” said Stock. “Wetypically don’t write off bills,but there are situations whenwe will have to. For instance,if we don’t have any contactinformation from a person forthree years, we may look at itas a write-off.”

The county also can notcharge back to the clientswho are on federal povertyguidelines or if they are onpublic assistance. SibleyCounty does continue to at-tempt cost collection and

does send cases to the rev-enue recapture program andtries to get costs back.

“We send letters sayingwhat we are owed and a fairnumber pay us right away,”said Stock. “Others wait,thinking it will go away. Itjust won’t.”

Stock said the county has“an unusual formula” withthe Brown County DetoxCenter. Sibley County ischarged for services after anythird party liabilities are paid,such as insurance companies.

In 2012, the amount billedto Sibley County was$19,206, including a 12 per-cent charge to the county forhelping with billing and col-lection.

“We found it is much easi-er for the detox center to dothe billing because they havea person right there who cantake insurance information,”explained Stock. “Previously,they billed us the full amountand we had to try to get ahold of the people to get thatinformation. Often times theywould not provide it or wecould not find them. This is afairly new concept that seemsto be working very well.”

Ribbon Cutting CeremonyMembers and friends of the Arlington Area Chamberof Commerce held a ribbon cutting ceremony at Com-puter Restore on Tuesday morning, April 30. The busi-ness, owned by Justin Nissen, is located insideSteve’s Copy Shop & More along the 200 block ofWest Main Street in downtown Arlington. Front Row:

(left to right) Chamber Secretary Terry Klages, ScottSorenson, Justin Nissen, Nikki Robinson, TimGillaspie and Chamber President Steve Gillaspie.Back Row: (l to r) Dave Hennies, Jim Heiland, JeanGillaspie, Kellie Roehler and Glen Schauer.

The total amount billed toclients in Sibley County was$23,528, which is higher thanwhat the county was billed be-cause the county bills for thefull cost, including the 12 per-cent fee charged by detox.

The county is named understate statute to cover the costsfor detox. The average costper stay is $340 a day and theaverage stay is two days.

“It is really our only optionin this area for detox,” saysStock. “We are a membercounty, so if we pay our billwithin 30 days we get a $65reduction per client per day,where a non-member countydoes not get the discount.”

When Brown County re-cently closed the detentionpart of the Brown Countybuilding, Sibley County rates

were raised. Stock said it isstill the cheapest option in thearea.

For the last four years, theaverage of what Sibley Coun-ty was billed for detox is justunder $26,000. Stock said thecounty had two years since2001 that stood out when ithad extremely high detoxbills, both higher than$30,000 and one was over$40,000.

Many years ago, the SibleyMedical Center used to havedetox services, but got out ofit.

“They tell us that the peoplethey are seeing now are sickerwith drugs, alcohol and med-ication in their systems,” saidStock, about how it takeslonger to detox a patient to getdrugs out of their system.

Other Business• In other public health and

human services news, Stockreported the resignation oftwo staff, both going over toCarver County.

“We will look to reorganizeinternally,” said Stock. “Weanticipate more leaving be-cause a lot of the staff doescommute. One cut commutemiles from 40 miles to 23.With big fuel prices we canunderstand that.”

• May is Mental HealthMonth and National FosterCare Month. To bring mentalhealth issues to the attentionof the public, the county willdo news articles and churcheswill receive information fortheir bulletins if they choose.

“We have bookmarks thatlist famous people who had

mental health issues,” saidStock. “It shows there shouldbe no stigma to it and we wantto get across that this is an ill-ness.”

There will be a free foodstand set up in May at Jerry’sFoods when handing out in-formational materials. To pro-mote healthier eating, publichealth will be giving out yo-gurt this year.

• Last year the county wentover its burial fund of$20,000. Stock said she willbe coming to the board with anew policy for burials, whereit should be made clearer whatthe county pays or does notpay.

The next Sibley Countyboard meeting is Tuesday,May 14.

Matt and Corine Carney are the ownersof Side Dish along the 300 block ofWest Main Street in downtown Arling-

ton. The new restaurant is adjacent tothe Arlington Dugout which the couplealso owns.

By Kurt MenkEditor

Matt and Corine Carney,owners of the ArlingtonDugout, have opened SideDish in the former VFWBuilding along the 300 blockof West Main Street in down-town Arlington.

The new business is adja-cent to the Arlington Dugout,but an inside door connectsthe two businesses.

The couple, after a year oftalks, purchased the buildingfor the new restaurant in Feb-ruary.

“We thought having thefood in the restaurant pairedwith the alcohol in the barwould be a big benefit,” saidMatt.

The front room of the newrestaurant has been complet-edly remodeled. The previous

bar has been removed to cre-ate more space for the saladbar and to comfortably seat45 people. The couple hopesto add another 30 to 40 seatsin the back room. New chairs,tables and booths are alsofeatured in the front room.

The restaurant, which fea-tures a full breakfast, lunchand dinner menu, is openfrom 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. sevendays a week.

“We wanted to bring a newstyle menu to the communi-ty,” said Matt. “Everything ispretty much made in house.We bake our own bread forour sandwiches. We cut ourown steaks here too. We alsohave a variety of turkey, beef,lamb and pork chorizo burg-ers.”

The couple is also lookingto buy products from local

farmers as much as possible.“Obviously, there will be

some items that we will haveto get off the truck,” saidMatt and Corine, who haveowned the Arlington Dugoutfor the past four years.

The couple plans to offerdaily lunch specials andtheme style dinners on theweekends in the future.

Fridley resident ShawnRichardson, who previouslyowned Woodsman Grill inAnoka, has been hired as thehead chef.

The couple currently has10 to 12 employees andhopes to hire five to six addi-tional employees down theroad.

The back room is alsoavailable to rent for privateparties, meetings and lunch-eons.

Letters To The Editor

The Arlington Enterprise, like any other business, has re-ceived its share of suggestions and requests over the years.The one repeated request is for the local newspaper to pub-lish the weekly Sibley County Court news.

The hometown newspaper, after several months of debateand discussion, recently decided to publish the weekly Sib-ley County Court news. The debut of the court news ispublished on page 8 in this week’s edition of the ArlingtonEnterprise.

The Sibley County Court news is public record and willadd another dimension for people who read in the Arling-ton Enterprise. For some readers, it will become a popularsection in the newspaper like the front page news, sports,obituaries and letters to the editor. Other readers may notcare unless their name appears in the court news.

Other than the weekly publication of this court news inthe local newspaper, another constant is the entire docu-ment will be printed exactly as it is received. No nameswill be conveniently omitted. In other words, people cansave their dime in attempt to have their name removedfrom the court news. All names will be published, even theemployees of this newspaper.

*****John was riding his brand new

bike down the block when heknocked over an old lady. “Youclumsy idiotic boy!” fumed the ladyas she struggled to her feet. “Don’tyou know how to ride a bike?”

“Of course I do,” replied John.“I just don’t know how to use thehorn!”

*****Teacher: “If there are a dozen flies

on a table and you swat one, howmany are left?”

Math clown: “Uhhhh, just thedead one?”

*****A truck driver was driving along

the highway when he saw a sign,“Low Underpass Ahead.” Thinkinghis truck could for sure make it, hedrove under and got stuck. Soon allthe cars were honking their hornsand shouting.

Before long, a cop came and said,“What’s the problem, got stuck,huh?”

Thinking quickly, the truckdriver smiled and said, “No, I did-n’t get stuck, I was delivering thisbridge and ran out of gas.”

*****A woman got on a bus but soon

regretted it. The driver sped downthe street, zigzagging across thelanes, breaking nearly every rule ofthe road. Unable to take it anylonger, the woman stepped forward,her voice shaking as she spoke. “Iam so afraid of riding with you, Idon’t know what to do.”

“Do what I do,” said the busdriver. “Close your eyes!”

*****Teacher: “Can you give me a ex-

ample of a national disaster?” Class clown: “How about my last

report card?”*****

A boy went to the ballet with hismother. As the program began, theboy leaned over his seat and whis-pered, “Mom, they’re all dancing ontheir toes.”

“Yes, I know,” said his mother.“That’s the way they do it.”

The boy watched for a momentlonger and then said, “Well, whydon’t they just get taller dancers?”

*****Upon entering a little country

store, a stranger noticed a warningsign that read: “Danger! Beware ofdog!” posted on the door. Inside, henoticed a harmless little dog asleepon the floor beside the cash register.“Is that the dog folks are supposed tobeware of?” he asked the owner.

“Yep, that’s him,” came the reply.The stranger couldn’t help but be

amused. “That certainly doesn’t looklike a dangerous dog to me. Why inthe world would you post that sign?”

“Because,” the owner explained,“Before I posted that sign, peoplekept tripping over him.”

*****A passenger train is creeping

along, slowly. Finally it creaks to ahalt. A passenger sees a conductorwalking by outside. “What’s goingon?” she yells out the window.

“Horse on the track!” replies theconductor. Ten minutes later, thetrain resumes its slow pace. Howev-er five minutes later it stops again.

The lady sees the conductorwalking by again. She leans outand yells, “What happened? Wecaught up to that horse again?”

*****A zookeeper saw a visitor throw-

ing $100 bills into the monkey cage.“Why you doing that?” he asked.“The sign says its ok,” the visitor

replied.“No it doesn’t,” the zookeeper

replied. “Sure it says ‘Do not feed. $100

fine.’” replied the visitor.*****

By Lee H. HamiltonWith the formal release of Presi-

dent Obama’s budget, the pieces arefinally in place for a reprise of theWashington drama we’ve all cometo know. There will be high-stakesnegotiations, lines in the sand, andenough intrigue to keep Beltway in-siders riveted by every piece ofbreaking news.

The rest of us, though, are alreadyworn out. In repeated conversationswith ordinary people, I’ve beenstruck by the immense frustrationI’ve encountered. They’re tired ofbrinksmanship and constant fiscalcrisis. They’re fed up with accusa-tions, spin, fear mongering, and in-transigence. They’ve had it with acomplex, opaque process when the

outline of a solution — controllingspending and entitlements, raisingrevenues to meet the country’s obli-gations, and investing in economicgrowth — seems evident. Above all,they’re weary of a government thatappears addicted to crisis. Why, theywonder, can we not pass a budget inan orderly, rational way?

It’s a good question, though theanswer is hardly reassuring: I be-lieve Congress no longer knowshow. Talking to a group of youngermembers recently, I realized they’dhad no experience of following reg-ular procedures to craft a budget.They’ve spent their congressionalcareers watching the leadership putit together in an ad-hoc, crisis-fueledmanner. True budget-making skills

on Capitol Hill are eroding. It’s indanger of becoming a lost art.

Yet it need not be. There is a time-honored process that we can rejuve-nate at any time for constructing abudget. On Capitol Hill, it’s knownas “the regular order.”

This is the insider’s way of refer-ring to procedures that Congress de-veloped over our history as a nation.Their guiding principle is to providea coherent and well-structured wayof deciding in detail where our na-tional priorities ought to lie, andthen funding them. They were de-signed to give members of Congress

HamiltonContinued on page 5

Tired of budget shenanigans?

To The Editor,I wanted to share with con-

stituents some updates about thebudget bills passed by the Housethis past week. I hope, as always,you’ll contact me with any inputyou have about these or any futurebills. These bills will ultimately goto conference committee, where dif-ferences between the House and theSenate will be worked out beforecoming back to the House for finalpassage before heading to the Gov-ernor's desk.

Health and Human Services

The only budget area Democratschose to cut this session was inHealth and Human Services. While Iwas glad to see Democrats talkingabout starting to bend down the costcurve and get HHS spending undercontrol, the cuts that were madewere without any meaningful re-forms that would reduce futurecosts, and were made indiscrimi-nately in areas that could have nega-tive consequences on the state of

Minnesota.Part of the $150 million dollar cut

to the HHS budget was $26 millionfrom nursing homes and senior carecenters. Minnesota has an agingpopulation. By 2020, it's estimatedthat we will have more seniors in re-tirement than students in our K-12education system. With these kindof demographic realities, it doesn'tmake sense to be cutting fundingfrom senior care centers.

The Republican budget we passedin 2011 made a promise to seniors.Unfortunately, Democrats renegedon that promise to the tune of a $26million dollar cut from what Repub-licans had set under law to give tothe nursing homes and senior carecenters.

Again, I applaud the majority forfinally coming to realize that wemust get our spending under control,but this is simply the wrong way todo it. We must make serious reformsthat address the cost drivers in ourhealth care system, and find ways todeliver health care services to our

citizens more efficiently and moreeffectively, rather than cutting fromour most vulnerable. With 100 nurs-ing homes at risk of closure aroundthe state, it's irresponsible and riskyto be making these types of cuts.

K-12 EducationAs a member of the Education Fi-

nance committee, it was great to seemonths of work and collaborationcome to the floor in the form of theK-12 Omnibus bill.

I ultimately voted no on the K-12bill because it removes graduationstandard testing, and dilutes themeaning of a students’ diploma. Italso grows the Minnesota Depart-ment of Education, adding layers ofbureaucracy in the form of “regionalcenters of excellence” rather thanadding more funding that would godirectly to classrooms.

Worse, the bill has a $1 billiondollar negative tail, meaning we willbe faced with a funding shortfall infuture years, even though the De-mocrats are already raising $3 bil-lion dollars in new taxes and fees.

Update on budget bills from Gruenhagen

To The Editor,How bad is the Tax Omnibus

Bill? It is so bad that the DFL ma-jority could not pass their own billthe first time and after twisting somearms revoted and passed the bill.This bill raises $1,839,393,000 (1.84billion) in new tax hikes for FY2014-15. It would make Minnesota’sincome tax the fourth highest in thenation, behind only California,Hawaii and Oregon. This billfreezes tax relief on commercial realestate and creates a new sales tax onservices and internet sales.

Minnesotans can’t afford the Sen-ate Democrats’ tax plan. Everyonewill pay more for clothing, auto re-pair, haircuts and over-the-countermedication. We should not be ex-tracting an extra dime from hard-working taxpayers of Minnesotauntil the legislature goes line-by-linethrough our budget and cuts thewaste that has been accumulating.Raising taxes penalizes small busi-

nesses and jeopardizes the welfareof people who work for those busi-nesses.

Think about this, the DFL party iselated to be raising your taxes. Sena-tor Rod Skoe, Senate Tax Chair, wasquoted in Politics in Minnesota assaying: “When I woke up this morn-ing, I was so excited I almostsmiled,” on having his Tax Omnibusbill being heard. You can read thewhole article here: http://politicsin-minnesota.com/2013/04/senate-tax-bill-increases-top-income-tax-rate-to-9-4-percent/.

Below are the major provisions inthe bill that employers and employ-ees alike will be facing should theDFL pass this tax bill:

• Increases sales taxes in theamount of $89 million over FY2014-15 by expanding the sales taxbase to include a new sales tax on:

• Clothing, over the counter drugs,personal services (hair, nails, tat-toos), other personal services (wed-

ding planning, dating services, per-sonal shopping), auto repair servic-es, household goods repair andmaintenance, electronic and com-mercial equipment repair and main-tenance, warehousing and storageservices, telecommunications equip-ment, court reporter documents, andpublications (excluding newspa-pers).

• Increases cigarette/tobacco taxesby $333 million over FY 2014-15largely through adopting the Gover-nor’s $0.94 per pack additional taxon cigarettes.

• Increases individual incometaxes by $1.2 billion by increasingthe current 7.85 percent third tier to9.4 percent.

• Single: $79,730.• Head of Household: $120,070.• Married joint: $140,960.This is not the “Tax the Rich.”

Obituary

Local legislators said theMinnesota House majority’splan to cut $26 million nextbiennium from senior livinghas rural nursing home staffsvery concerned, according tothe Office of State Represen-tative Glenn Gruenhagen.More than two dozen mem-bers from the GOP’s RuralCaucus participated in a pressconference on Monday, April22, to highlight the proposedcuts, and called on House De-mocrats to fully fund thepromises made to Minnesotaseniors.

“Democrats are proposingto cut $26 million from the2014-2015 baseline passed byRepublicans in 2011. This

represents a broken promiseto our Greatest Generation,and an astonishing movefrom the Democrats, whosepriorities are clearly out ofline,” said Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe.

Gruenhagen explained thatthe DFL’s budget cuts willjeopardize 115 senior livingfacilities, 15,000 long-termcare workers, and countlessrural communities.

“We need to be going lineby line through our budget toeliminate wasteful govern-ment spending, streamlineour government programsand find cost savings,” saidState Representative DeanUrdahl, R-Acton Township.

“That money can be used tofund the promises made toour seniors. Why the Democ-rats feel the need to raise $3billion in new revenue butmake cuts to our most vulner-able is simply beyond me.”

Urdahl said that House De-mocrats are claiming an in-crease in nursing home fund-ing in their budget, but he ex-plained that the “increase”actually amounts to a net cutof $26 million in the 2014-2015 biennium baseline. Headded that $26 million, atminimum, was needed tomaintain current service lev-els at nursing home and sen-ior care facilities across thestate.

Local legislators encourage DFL majority to fully fund nursing homes, senior centers

U.S. Representative CollinPeterson announced that theHenderson Fire and RescueDepartment has been award-ed $603,638 for operationsand safety from the Assis-tance to Firefighters Grant(AFG) Program of the De-partment of Homeland Secu-rity (DHS) and Federal Emer-gency Management Agency(FEMA).

“These grants are criticalto departments like Hender-son Fire and Rescue, and I’mhappy to see them get thesefunds for such an importantproject,” Peterson said. “I'mthankful for all the volunteerfirefighters and first-respon-ders who are so critical to allour rural communities.”

The grant will be used topurchase communicationsequipment for emergency re-

sponders throughout SibleyCounty, including law en-forcement, hospitals and pub-lic works departments, ac-cording to Tom Phillips, whohas worked on the projectsince 2007.

“We are just really gratefulfor the work of Representa-tive Peterson and his staff tosee this project through,”Phillips said.

Since 2001, the AFG hasprovided approximately$5.25 billion in grants tofirst-responder organizationsto obtain much-needed emer-gency response equipment,personal protective equip-ment, firefighting and emer-gency vehicles, and training.

The purpose of the AFG isto award grants directly tofire departments and Emer-gency Medical Services or-

ganizations (EMS) that areunaffiliated with a hospital toenhance their ability to pro-tect the health and safety ofthe public, as well as that offirst-responder personnel.Using a competitive processthat is overseen by fire serv-ice subject matter experts,grants are awarded to appli-cants whose requests best ad-dress the priorities of theAFG Program.

Operations and SafetyGrant projects funded includeprofessional training, well-ness and fitness programsequipment, personal protec-tive equipment, modificationsto facilities, and supplies thatsupport firefighting and non-affiliated EMS operations andsafety.

mantra the Governor has beenpromoting, but rather a tax in-crease on middle income, tax-payers.

• Increases the StatewideProperty Tax by $176 millionlargely by freezing the tax ratefor Commercial-Industrial(C/I) property at the rate im-posed for taxes payable in2002. The inflator for C/Iproperty is eliminated.

• Increases business taxesby a net $63 million in FY2014-15 through the repeal ofthe Foreign Royalty Deduc-tion. With the repeal of thisdeduction on business incomeearned outside of the state ofMinnesota, why would a cor-poration remain or come toMinnesota? Does our tax poli-

cy affect business decisions,remember HTI?

• Creates a 13 percentsports memorabilia gross re-ceipts tax ($32 million tax in-crease) imposed at the whole-sale level on licensed profes-sional and Collegiate Division1 merchandise.

• Recognizes a $24 millionestate tax increase by tighten-ing current law criteria on ex-emptions for qualified farmsand small businesses.

• Increases sales tax onrental vehicles by almost 50percent from 6.2 percent to9.05 percent raising $15 mil-lion.

• Expands sales taxes on in-ternet sales, digital downloadsand direct satellite services.

The DFL campaigned thatthey would only raise taxes onthe “rich” and that any tax in-creases would only impact afew people. As you can see bythe proposed tax increasesabove; that is not the case.The simple truth is that highertaxes do not lead to a healthiereconomy. Minnesota can’t af-ford to have thousands ofsmall businesses, pay more intaxes rather than hire new em-ployees, buy new equipmentor otherwise expand theirbusiness.

So I ask you: Will you andyour family be better off ifthis bill becomes law?

a clear, fair way to scrutinize,consider, debate, and reachconsensus on the divisive is-sues that go along with taxingand spending.

The last time Congresspassed a regular-order budget,not an omnibus spending bill,was 1997. Though it was farfrom a tidy process, its aban-donment, I believe, is whathas produced our currentmess.

So what is the regularorder? The President submitsa budget on time (not twomonths late, as PresidentObama has just done). Thencongressional committees andsubcommittees take it up, di-viding their work according tothe departments of govern-ment — agriculture, defense,transportation and the like.They hold hearings, call wit-nesses, explore what the exec-utive branch has done with itsmoney in the past, and consid-er its plans for the future.They debate and draft theirown proposals, and allowamendments from both par-

ties. Once the full committeeacts, its measure goes to thefloor for further debate,amendments, and a vote.Eventually, the bills arrived atseparately by the House andthe Senate get reconciled andgo to the President to besigned.

The advantage of the regu-lar order, in addition to itstransparency and accountabil-ity, is that it spreads the work-load and makes room for theexpertise and consideredjudgment of a wide array oflegislators. In the past, theleadership deferred to experi-enced committee chairmenwho knew the issues theywere confronting inside andout, and who had a talent fordrafting legislation. Rank-and-file members had achance to influence the out-come through amendmentsand debate. The processplayed to Congress’s corestrength of deliberation.

Not any longer. Now, hugeomnibus bills and continuingresolutions — not to mention

the mindless cudgel of the se-quester — are put together bya handful of leaders and theirstaffs. They don’t have specif-ic, detailed expertise, andthey’re more interested inseeking partisan advantagethan in fair process or effec-tive legislating.

Too often in the past, mem-bers of Congress have soughtsome automatic budget mech-anism — a balanced-budgetamendment, say, or budgetcaps — to solve their prob-lems. Mostly, these have beena way to avoid the hard choic-es required by the regularorder. In the end, there’s nosubstitute for experience,knowledge, hard work, com-promise, and a resolve to seeksolutions. That’s what the reg-ular order would encourage.It’s time for Congress to stoppaying it lip service and actu-ally revive it.

Qualify For NationalsThe Sibley East Health OccupationsStudents of America (HOSA) chapter re-cently attended the State HOSA Con-vention in St. Cloud. Members partici-pated in competitive events, informa-tional sessions, and healthcare relatedactivities. Sibley East students who at-tended included Morgan Setterman,

Karley Lind, Anna Whoehler, Andi Geiband advisor Tracie Bjorklund. Woehlerand Geib earned a first place finish inCommunity Awareness and now qualifyfor participation at the national conven-tion in Nashville, Tenn. Their awarenessproject focused on healthy skin andskin cancer.

2013 was another success-ful year of reliable power,quality service and competi-tive electric rates, accordingto General Manager RogerGeckler at Minnesota ValleyElectric Cooperative’s 76thAnnual Meeting in Jordan onApril 23. “That’s our goal,”said Geckler. “It’s why weexist.”

Embracing new technolo-gies has played a big part inthat success, said Geckler.Looking ahead, MVEC re-cently completed a $24 mil-lion three-year work plan forfuture construction and up-

grades within the coopera-tive’s nine-county servicearea.

Geckler outlined three newmember programs launchingin 2013: the Beat the PeakEnergy Challenge (featuring$20,000 in team and individ-ual cash prizes), a WiFi pro-grammable thermostat projectand a payback component tothe Pay as you Go pre-payprogram.

Financially, the cooperativeis in great shape, according toGerry Mareck, vice presidentof finance. Increased kilowatthour sales, holding distribu-

tion costs flat and well-man-aged wholesale power pur-chases allowed the coopera-tive to give a $1.5 million re-fund to the membership inDecember 2012, in additionto a Capital Credit refund thisMarch for $751,000.

In the Board of Directors’election, incumbents DeborahErickson of Savage andJames Connelly of BellePlaine were re-elected. GaryHaberman of Chanhassenwas elected to replace TomGraham of Henderson whoretired from the board of di-rectors this month.
