The 2018 precinct caucuseswill be held at various loca-tions set by the parties at 7p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6.
Secretary of State SeveSimon provided the followinginformation about caucuses inMinnesota.
What is a precinct cau-cus?
Precinct caucuses are meet-ings run by Minnesota’s polit-ical parties. They are the firstin a series of meetings whereparties may endorse candi-dates, select delegates, andset goals and values (calledparty platforms).
In 2018, one part ofprecinct caucuses will be apreference ballot for the can-didates people want their po-litical party to support for
Governor.Who can participate in a
caucus?To participate, people must
be eligible to vote in the No-vember 2018 general electionand live in the precinct. Peo-ple also must generally agreewith the principles of the po-litical party hosting the cau-cus.
What happens at the cau-cus?
Each political party runstheir caucus meetings a littledifferently. People can checkwith their political party ifthey have specific questions.Generally, there are four mainactivities at a caucus:
1. Choose volunteers whowill organize political activi-ties in the precinct. Thiscould include maintainingcontact lists, holding political
meetings, and helping withcampaign efforts.
2. Vote for the person peo-ple want the party to supportfor Governor. This is calledthe preference ballot. The re-sults help gauge support forcandidates.
3. Discuss issues and ideasfor the party to support. Peo-ple can present an issue oridea for the party to support,called a resolution. If peopleconvince other attendees tosupport their resolution, itwill be taken to the next polit-ical convention. Eventually,this resolution could becomepart of the official party plat-form.
4. Choose delegates whowill endorse candidates at fu-ture conventions. At futureconventions, party delegateswill endorse state and federal
candidates, including forGovernor. Political partieshave different ways of choos-ing delegates at the precinctlevel caucus—contact yourparty for more information.
Feedback About Caucus-es
People who have ques-tions, concerns or a complaintabout their precinct caucus,please contact the politicalparty holding the caucusmeeting. Unlike elections,which are run by local andstate government election of-ficials, precinct caucuses arerun by political parties.Everything from site locationto conducting preference bal-lot voting is the responsibilityof the party.

History of Good Samaritan Society - ArlingtonAs the needs of the aged in the Arlington area became more evident, Mr. Lester Pinske, along with other Ar-lington leaders, made plans for a nursing home in Arlington. In June of 1958, their hard work paid off with theopening of a 49-bed nursing home. It was called the Arlington Convalescent Home.
In 1963, a 10-bed addition and 21x45-foot activity room were added to the center. On July 1, 1971, the Conva-lescent Home was sold to The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society and renamed the Arlington GoodSamaritan Center.
In 1987, office space, resident and staff lounge areas, a family conference room and expanded nurses’ stationand open lobby area was added.
In 1992, reconfiguration of 11 resident beds, new tub, and shower facilities, additional storage space and anew Physical/Occupational Therapy room was added. Four thousand five hundred square feet of new spacewas added to the center, with an additional 3400 square feet being remodeled.
In 1995, a grant was received from the Minnesota Department of Transportation to purchase a 12-passenger handicap-accessible bus.
In 1999, the entire mechanical system of the building was given an overhaul.
In 2000, the dining room was expanded.
In 2007, the Fairview Assisted Living facility was constructed and attached to the nursing home.
During 2011-2012, the center embarked upon a remodeling project.
In 2015 the main dining room went through an update.
In 2016 a new maintenance free gazebo replaced the old existing wood gazebo.

Senior citizens in the Ar-lington and Green Isle areahave recently received scamtelephone calls where a conartist impersonates a grand-child in distress.
According to the Office ofMinnesota Attorney GeneralLori Swanson, the con artistexploits the love and generos-ity of the grandparent by pre-tending to be a grandchild introuble and in need of emer-gency funds. The fraudsterthen convinces the grandpar-ent that they are assisting agrandchild by paying fortransportation home from aforeign country, medicaltreatment or bail. Somegrandparents, who are willingto come to the aid of a grand-child in need, set aside theirreservations and quickly wiremoney to the imposter. Thecon artist may ask the grand-parents not to contact the par-ents out of embarrassment orbecause the need is too ur-gent, helping the con artistavoid detection.
How The Scam WorksThe person receives a
phone call initiated with aphrase like, “Hi Grandma/-Grandpa! Do you know whothis is?” or something similar.If the grandparent respondswith a name, the con artist as-sumes the name is a grand-child’s and uses it to pose asthe grandchild. The “grand-child” describes some type ofurgent trouble, often in a for-eign country, and begs thegrandparents to immediatelywire money through WesternUnion or MoneyGram to payfor medical treatment, bailmoney, auto repair, or a tickethome. By claiming that theyare embarrassed or there is notime to talk to others, the conartist tries to dissuade thegrandparent from contacting
the grandchild’s parents orfriends.
Some con artists may in-vestigate the identity of thegrandchild before the initialphone call or pretend to be athird party, such as a govern-ment official or a bail bonds-man. The involvement of afamily member, an immediateneed for money, and a requestfor secrecy are the hallmarksof this scam.
Avoid The Grandparents Scam
Avoid the grandparentsscam by versifying a caller’sidentity and resisting pressureto act before the caller’s iden-tity is verified.
Verify The Caller’s Identity
Contact a family memberwho could confirm thecaller’s story. Try contactingthe real grandchild at a num-ber you know is accurate.You can also ask questions ofthe caller, the answers towhich only the real grand-child would know. Be atten-tive to whether the caller isanswering in detail or justguessing the answers. Re-member, while some fraud-sters investigate the grand-children to make their imper-sonations more accurate,many depend upon their in-tended victims providing nec-essary information over thephone. Do not give out namesor other information aboutfamily members unless youare certain of the identity ofthe caller. There may even besome similarities betweenyour real grandchildren and afraudster’s impersonations.For example, some grandpar-ents have a grandchild travel-ing in Canada when they re-ceive a fraudulent phone callclaiming that their grandchild
needs money to return home.Even if a story seems to betrue at first, verify its accura-cy.
Resist PressureTo Act Quickly
This scam depends upon agrandparent’s compassion fortheir grandchildren outweigh-ing any concern about poten-tial scams. The various ex-cuses created by fraudstersalmost always involve anemergency and a desire forsecrecy. A scammer oftenclaims that there is no time tospeak to others or that the“grandchild” will be embar-rassed if other family mem-bers know about the situation.Fraudsters ask for secrecy be-cause they know if you con-tact another family member,you will discover the scam.You should only wire moneyif you are certain of thecaller’s identity, particularlyif the caller wants you to wirethe money to a foreign coun-try. Remember, if you wiremoney, it may be impossibleto retrieve the money once itis picked up at the other end.Therefore, the money is virtu-ally untraceable, and UnitedStates law enforcement agen-cies have little success in re-covering wired funds.
If you receive a fraudulentphone call like the Grandpar-ents Scam, try to trace thecall. Also, you shouldpromptly file a criminal com-plaint. You can initiate calltracing by dialing *57 afteryou hang up from a fraudu-lent phone call. When you dothat, the caller’s phone num-ber will be forwarded andrecorded at the phone compa-ny’s call identification center.You should then contact yourlocal law enforcement agencyto file a complaint.
Beware of scams targeting grandparents

*****This Super Bowl for Min-
nesotans is like getting dumped,then your ex gets engaged, andyou have to host the wedding inyour backyard.
*****An artist asked the gallery owner
if there had been any interest in hispaintings on display there.
“I have good news and bad news,”the owner replied. “The good newsis that a gentleman inquired aboutyour work and wondered if it wouldappreciate in value after your death.When I told him it would, he boughtall 15 paintings.”
“That’s wonderful!” the artist said.“What’s the bad news?”
The owner replied, “He said hewas your doctor.”
*****A man was driving along a free-
way when he noticed a chicken run-ning along the side of the road. Hewas amazed to see that the chickenwas keeping up with him.
Glancing at his speedometer, theman saw that he was going 50 milesper hour. He accelerated to 60, then75 miles per hour, but the chickenstayed right beside him.
Then the man saw the chicken hadthree legs. Even more curious, hefollowed the chicken down a sideroad and onto a farm. He got out ofhis car and, looking around, saw thatall the chickens had three legs.
“What’s up with these three-legged chickens?” he asked a farmerstanding outside.
“Well,” the farmer replied, “when-ever we have chicken for dinner,everyone fights over the legs, butthere are only two. I have bred athree-legged bird. It’s going to makeme a millionaire.”
“How do they taste?” the manasked.
“I don’t know,” the farmerreplied. “I haven’t been able tocatch one yet.”
*****A new grocery clerk wasn’t sure
what to do when a customer asked ifshe could buy just half of a grape-fruit. He went to ask the manager.
“Some nut out there wants to buyhalf a grapefruit,” he said, before re-alizing the customer had walked upbehind him. He hastily added, “Andthis lovely lady would like to buythe other half.”
The manager liked the way theclerk thought on his feet, and laterhe asked him where he grew up.
“Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” theclerk replied proudly. “The home ofbeautiful women and great hockeyteams.”
“Really?” the manager said. “Mywife is from Lancaster.”
Without skipping a beat, theclerk asked, “What team was sheon?”
*****Teach a child to be polite and
courteous, and when he grows up,he’ll never be able to edge his caronto a freeway.”
*****“When I was a kid,” the old man
said, “my mother could send me tothe store, and I’d get a salami, twopints of milk, six oranges, twoloaves of bread, a magazine and apair of blue jeans, all for a dollar!”He continued, “You can’t do thatanymore. They’ve got those darnvideo cameras everywhere youlook.”

Minnesota caucusesare set for Feb. 6
Our View: It is a great opportunityto get involved with the process
Minnesotans will caucus on Tuesday night, Feb. 6. Thesecaucuses do not receive as much attention at a national levelas others across the country, especially Iowa, but they are animportant part of the political system here in Minnesota.
Precinct caucuses are meetings organized by Minnesota’spolitical parties to begin the process to select candidates forthe 2018 election and policy positions to shape the party plat-form. Caucuses are held in locations across Minnesota and areopen to the public. Participation is encouraged.
The caucuses give every voter an opportunity to meet withtheir local party and participate in the democratic process atthe grassroots level. It is a fantastic way for citizens, especial-ly people who are tired of the gridlock at the state and federallevels, to get involved and have their voices heard.
People of all parties can attend a caucus, vote in the strawpolls, offer resolutions and be selected as a delegate. The onlyrequirements are that citizens must be able to vote in the nextgeneral election, live in the precinct of the caucus they plan toattend, and consider themselves aligned with the views of thepolitical party.
For more information on the caucuses here at home, pleaserefer to the article about the Democrat and Republican partieson the front page in this week’s edition of the Arlington Enter-prise.
For additional information about Minnesota caucuses, visitMinnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon’s website atwww.sos.state.mn.us.
Rather than sit back and complain about politicians and thepolitical process, now is the perfect time for citizens to partic-ipate in the democratic process at the grassroots level andmake a difference.

Letter To The Editor
To The Editor,The Minnesota Caucuses occur on
Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. and aremeant to unite voters, potential can-didates and willing delegates to theGOP, DFL and other political par-ties. These caucuses are not to beconfused with the Russian Caucususdividing the world. The MinnesotaCaucuses are built with local neigh-bors meeting each other on equalturf at their respective political par-ties while the Russian Caucusus areamong the most impenetrable anddivisive mountain ranges on the faceof the earth. (There is of course a bitof irony here.)
Never believe the Minnesota cau-cuses are high and mighty and im-penetrable. The caucuses are “you”time where “you” are includedamong nearly normal neighbors,eager to vote the best candidatesinto office in the August primaryand the Nov. 6, 2018, election. Here,we communicate and question andcould become a neighborly delegateto the next party convention. Laterat a couple of follow-up party con-ventions, candidates for offices willappear in person to tell their story,and ask for party advertising, sup-port and volunteers. New Ameri-
cans and immigrants can come andobserve. Only citizens can actuallyvote or become delegates. The Min-nesota Secretary of State’s officegives accurate advice on electionsand candidate registration options.SOS, Steve Simon, 651-215-1440and 877-600-8683;www.sos.state.mn.us/elections--vot-ing & locations.
While America is not a whimsicaldemocracy, but an actual democraticrepublic, we are rightly amazed atthe foresight of our fore-parents whogave us a protective electoral col-lege. It serves to prevent rabid ad-vertising geniuses, fake news ex-perts and powerful groups from pro-ducing enough chaos to apply apost-democracy, dictatorship toAmerica. Think liberty. We evalu-ate, learn and choose -- and In GodWe Trust!
I looked up a democratic republic--it's better than I can explain here. Iread The Mayflower Compact, TheConstitution, The Bill of Rights, theBible and was pleasantly surprisedthat God is for us. Documented mir-acles have occurred and protectedthis nation. We freely think and in-vestigate, and yet barely 57 percentof us go vote. [Bipartisan Policy
Center, 2012]We haven’t made it this far on our
own. We learn to comply early on--sometimes for good reasons. But toooften, painfully and abusively, wetry to compel lock-step uniformityto our God given freedoms, whenGod didn’t make robots or evenparty platforms--we did that. Thinkoutcomes of choices like abortionand euthanasia and our kid's futures.Think government overreach and re-ject it. Question boldly and votewisely.
Come to the Minnesota caucuses.They are often opened with prayerand the pledge to the flag and theydo give us opportunity to hear andspeak out freely in our own neigh-borhoods. Right now we can breathea thankful prayer to God Who givesus life, His image in us, His invita-tion to us, our very own inalienablerights to live, some examples, goodfriends -- plus The Lord’s Prayerand God’s Word, freely accessible.
The Minnesota caucuses are com-ing right up, friends, and believe me,the Russians had nothing to do withit. (Did they...?)
