City Council appoints, then
debates, role of its liaisons
By Alyssa Schauer
Staff Writer
At its annual meeting and
first meeting of the year on
Monday, the Silver Lake City
Council started the evening
with swearing-in ceremonies
and reviewed city council appointments.
City Clerk Kerry Venier
swore in Mayor Bruce Bebo,
who will be starting his sixth
two-year term as mayor of Silver Lake, and Councilors Pat
Fogarty and Nolan Johnson,
who were all re-elected in November’s election.
Fogarty will be serving a
two-year term and Johnson
will be serving a four-year
term.
Councilor Carol Roquette
also was re-elected to a fouryear term, but was absent for
Monday’s meeting. She will
be sworn in at a future date.
The City Council also discussed the liaisons appointed
by Mayor Bruce Bebo for
2013. The Council liaisons
will remain the same as 2012.
“Everything is moving really smoothly between liaisons
and departments heads. I feel
there is good, open communication, so I am proposing that
we keep liaisons as they are
for this next year,” Bebo said
during the December meeting.
Councilors agreed, and at
the Monday meeting, a resolution was passed to keep liaison
appointments. The following
were approved by the Council:
• Official city depositories:
First Community Bank and
Minnesota Municipal Money
Market Fund.
• Official newspaper: Silver
Lake Leader.
• City attorney: Gavin,
Olson, & Winters, LTD.
• Acting mayor: Councilor
Nolan Johnson.
• Deputy weed inspector:
Dale Kosek.
• Civil defense director and
emergency response coordinator: Chris Wawrzyniak.
• City administration liaison: Bebo.
• Public works liaison: Johnson.
• Public safety liaison:
Councilor Eric Nelson.
• Municipal liquor dispensary liaison: Fogarty.
• Community development
and planning commision liaison: Roquette.
• Assistant to all liaisons:
Bebo.
• Regular meeting dates and
times: third Monday of each
month at 6:30 p.m. and April
1, July 1, and Oct. 7 at 6:30
p.m.
• Economic development
authority: members of the city
council.
• Personnel committee:
Bebo, Roquette and Department Head Dale Kosek.
Council meeting etiquette
and liaison descriptions also
were reviewed and Fogarty
asked about including pay in
next year’s budget for councilors attending special meetings with their liaisons, such
as the quarterly meetings
scheduled for the Municipal
Liquor Store.
Venier emphasized that the
liaisons are “not supervisory.
“The liaisons were created
to provide an individual link to
each department. The goal was
that each department head
would meet with the liaison,
and give them the report,” Venier said.
He said liaisons shouldn’t
have to attend the meetings.
Venier felt that liaisons may
then “overstep their boundaries” and that the department
heads should be capable of relaying information to their employees and reporting back to
the liaisons.
Johnson disagreed. “I think
it’s good for liaisons to attend
these meetings, so we can put
faces to names, and vice
versa.”
Bebo suggested that if liaisons attend such meetings,
they should serve as “an observer.”
Venier also reminded councilors that the department reports they give should also
include their own observations.
“They shouldn’t be regurgitated. It would be nice to include your observations in the
reports, also,” Venier said.
He asked that councilors
also include their observations
along with the typed reports
given by department heads.
“That was the initial intent
of having liaisons meet with
department heads,” Venier
said.
“I agree, and I disagree with

County Board: new commissioners, chair
By Lori Copler
Staff Writer
The McLeod County Board
of Commissioners’ new year
got off to an odd start Tuesday.
Newly elected 1st District
Commissioner Ron Shimanski
was unable to attend because
of illness, and therefore was
not sworn in to his new position.
That meant that current
Commissioner Ray Bayerl,
who thought his retirement
would start with the adjournment of the 2012 business year
on Tuesday, stayed around to
vote during one more meeting.
According to County Attorney Mike Junge, state statute
says that an incumbent commissioner remains in office
until his successor is administered the oath of office.
While Shimanski was absent and unable to vote because he had not be sworn in,
the County Board kept the
new commissioner on speakerphone so he could listen in its
discussions.
And 5th District Commissioner Bev Wangerin, who
also was the chair and was to
have led the current board in
finishing its 2012 business,
also was absent and Vice Chair
Kermit Terlinden led the
County Board through that
part of the agenda, until new
Paul Wright, chair
5th District Commissioner Jon
Christensen was allowed to assume his seat for the commencement of the 2013
session.
Along with Christensen, incumbents Paul Wright, 3rd
District, and Sheldon Nies, 4th
District, who were re-elected
in November, took their oaths
of office and resumed their
seats at the table.
Shimanski will be sworn in
sometime this week by County
Auditor/Treasurer
Cindy
Schultz.
The County Board then
went on to elect its 2013 chair
and vice chair, with Wright,
who is starting his second
four-year term, getting the nod
as chair, while Terlinden was
re-elected vice chair.
Because of the absence of
Shimanski and because it was
Christensen’s first day on the
board, Nies suggested the
County Board table committee
assignments until its Jan. 22
meeting, adding that the newcomers should meet with
County Administrator Pat
Melvin to learn about the various committees to determine
upon which they may be most
interested in serving.
In other business Tuesday,
the County Board:
• Heard that work on a
bridge replacement on County
Road 15 has been suspended
and will resume in spring.
Highway Engineer John
Brunkhorst said the bridge is
ready for the pouring of concrete, but the weather isn’t favorable for the job.
The contractor did not complete the job on time, and has
been fined since the anticipated completion date.
Brunkhorst said the contractor could try to pour the concrete now, but the end result
may be less than desirable and
shorten the expected lifespan
of the bridge, which will cost
about $750,000.
The highway department
had hoped the bridge could be
open to traffic before Christmas, but Brunkhorst said it
will now likely not open until
the first of May.
Junge said that the daily
fines levied against the contractor are no longer in effect.
“The penalty stops with the
date of the suspension,” said
Junge. The work was suspended Dec. 20.
Brunkhorst said the county
will continue to have a priority
of plowing the detour route.
He also said that he had one
complaint from a neighbor
about the bridge not being
open to traffic on time.
“She understood the issue,”
said Brunkhorst. “She doesn’t
like it, but she understood why
we stopped the work.”
• Approved the McLeod
County Chronicle as the official newspaper for the county
for 2013.
• Agreed to buy iPads for the
commissioners to replace the
used laptop computers they are
currently using at meetings.
• Agreed to trade in a 20year-old floor scrubber for a
new one at a net cost of
$5,700.
Charges against
deputy dropped
Criminal charges against
McLeod County Sheriff
Deputy Mark Eischens have
been dismissed.
Eischens had been indicted by a grand jury Oct.
19 on four separate charges
that resulted from the discharge of his weapon while
he and other members of an
emergency response team
were executing a search
warrant in April 2012.
Eischens faced a felony
charge of assault in the second degree — dangerous
weapon and a felony charge
of possessing a dangerous
weapon and discharging a
firearm that endangered
safety.
He also faced a misdemeanor charge of assault in
the fifth degree — inflict or
attempt bodily harm; and a
misdemeanor charge of dangerous weapons — recklessly handle or use.
The case had been scheduled for a jury trial Monday
in McLeod County District
Court, but the trial was cancelled after the charges were
dropped.
Sibley County Attorney
David Schauer, who was the
prosecutor because Eischens
is a county employee, said in
a court filing that “the state
does not believe the case can
be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Schauer’s filing dismissed
the charges, with approval
from a district court judge.
According to court documents, the team had made
entry, and Eischens heard a
“thud” or a “bang” just as
Harry Lee Ondracek, 58, of
rural Glencoe, had come
around a corner and emerged
into view. Eischens asserted
that he thought Ondracek
had fired a weapon, and fired
his in return in self-defense.
It was later determined that
Ondracek was unarmed.
Ondracek was taken to a
hospital for treatment of injuries sustained, and later released and booked into the
McLeod County Jail on a
fifth-degree charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Eischens has been on paid
administrative leave pending
the outcome of the court proceedings.
Glencoe hospital imposes visitor restrictions because of flu
Glencoe Regional Health
Services has implemented visitor restrictions due to the recent outbreak of influenza-like
illnesses.
Visitors will be limited to
family members and to a maximum of two visitors per hospital patient. Individuals who
are ill are being asked to re-
consider their visit. If visits are
necessary and visitors are sick,
they must wear a mask. In addition, children under the age
of 5 will not be allowed to visit
patients or long-term care residents until the outbreak of influenza-like illnesses subsides.
South Central Minnesota
continues to see high volumes
of patients with influenza and
others with flu-like symptoms
prompting all hospitals in the
region to announce they are
adopting the same visitor restrictions at each of their facilities. Counties impacted by the
flu outbreak include Blue
Earth, Brown, Faribault, Le
Sueur,
Martin,
Meeker,
McLeod, Sibley and Waseca.
“We realize these restrictions may be inconvenient, but
we believe they are necessary
to protect the health of our patients, residents, staff and visitors,” said Jon Braband,
President and CEO.
In addition to enforcing
these restrictions, GRHS
would like to remind the public that each of us can help reduce the spread of influenza
and other illnesses by taking a
few simple steps, washing
your hands often, covering
your cough, and staying home
if you are sick.
It is also not too late to get
vaccinated against the flu.
GRHS has both injectable flu
vaccine and flu mist available.
To schedule a vaccination-only
appointment, call 320-8647816 or 1-800-869-3116.

you. I can honestly say that I
thought the liaisons and department heads did an excellent job this year,” Bebo said.
He said department heads
shared their written reports,
and councilors added their
concerns and observations to
the reports.
Nelson agreed. “I saw
everybody had a report, but
everyone also had their personal thoughts and concerns.
That told me we were doing
our jobs,” Nelson said.
*****
The Council also discussed
the duties of the community
development liaison. Bebo
said part of the duty is to
“work with county boards,
township boards and other development boards to ensure
that growth and development
opportunities are capitalized
upon.
“I’d like to see somebody
keep a pulse on things. I think
the county is moving on that
county shed. Something we’ve
never really had is a constant
dialogue with a county repre-
sentative,” Bebo said.
Councilors agreed and Johnson thought it would be a good
idea to invite Commissioner
Ron Shimanski to attend
Council meetings.
Bebo also suggested that
Roquette be put on an e-mail
list with the county and township boards if possible, so she
may receive updates and agendas of future meetings to have
an idea of upcoming projects.
****
In open discussion, Bebo reported that the Silver Lake
Civic Association is working
on improving the auditorium.
“They started taking steps
last year, when they replaced
the ceiling tiles, and this last
Saturday, they went to the
Lake Marion Ballroom auction
and purchased tables and
chairs to replace the booths,”
Bebo said.
He said the goal is to update
and remodel the auditorium.
He added that the Silver Lake
Lions are also working to
make improvements to the facility.

Bloodmobile
drive set here
for Jan. 29
The Silver Lake blood drive
is set for Tuesday, Jan. 29,
from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the
Silver Lake Legion.
Due to Hurricane Sandy,
blood is in short supply and is
greatly needed.
Volunteers will be calling
shortly to set up an appointment or call Margaret Benz at
320-327-2249. Walk-ins are
welcome.
January is National Blood
Donor Month, a time when the
American Red Cross recognizes and thanks the millions
of dedicated blood donors
across the country for helping
ensure a stable blood supply
for patients in need.
Since 1970, National Blood
Donor Month has been celebrated in an effort to educate
Americans about the importance of regular blood donation and the impact it can have.
Every day, around 44,000
pints of blood are needed in
hospitals to help treat trauma
victims, surgery patients,
organ transplant recipients,
premature babies, cancer patients and more.
January can be an especially
challenging month to collect
blood donations because of inclement weather and seasonal
illnesses.
Throughout the month, the
Red Cross is honoring the contributions of those who roll up
their sleeves to help save lives,
one donation at a time.

Each year, I promise myself
I’m going to be more healthy,
and every year, I work at this
in spurts. Summers are usually
productive, with the warmer
weather, and I’m outside doing
something active nearly everyday.
But when the colder weather
comes around, in October or
so, I find comfort in staying on
the couch and eating obscene
amounts of potato soup.
Then of course, Thanksgiving and Christmas are right
around the corner, and I indulge in pecan pie, sweet potato casseroles, and all
varieties of cookies on the holiday treat table.
It’s embarrassing, really.
And so, in order to keep up
a routine of healthy habits
throughout the entire year, and
not just spring and summer,
I’ve decided to register for a
few 5K races.
Lucky for me, there are
Thanksgiving “turkey trots”
and “polar dashes” in the winter, so that my indulgences
may be offset by physical activity.
I think I should maybe tell
my goals to my grandmothers,
so that they are more inclined
to send me home with carrots
and apples instead of pudding
and pies.
Another favorite resolution
of mine is to organize my finances.
Each year, I tell myself I’m
going to put away a little bit of
each pay check and build up
my savings account, but then I
see the cutest pair of shoes at
Target or I find summer
dresses that I just have to have,

and my savings go to pot.
Most of you know this about
me, and as the title of this column suggests, I love to travel.
And so, I have opened a savings account at another bank
specifically dedicated for a
travel fund, so that I can adventure off to a new place this
year. And I can use this column as accountability to report
back.
My final resolution this year
revolves around organizing
my belongings. As I dug
through boxes upon boxes
stacked in my closets and
under my bed looking for
check blanks, I realized I keep
everything. I mean, EVERYTHING.
I found a movie ticket receipt from 2009 for the movie
“Avatar,” an unopened box of
fish hooks, bobby pins, broken
pencils, a Christmas ornament,
corroded pennies, a clothespin,
an empty white-out bottle,
photographs from high school,
and yarn in a small cardboard
box, filled with other miscellaneous junk.
Talk about a hoarder.
So I’m going to ring in the
New Year by cleaning up and
getting rid of junk. I think I’ll
start by taking down my
Christmas tree and putting
away the Christmas decorations. And I should probably
get rid of the box of cookies on
the table and put all loose
change I find into a glass jar
labeled “Travel Fund.”
Check back with me in July
and we’ll see how everything
is coming. Good luck to all on
their own resolutions!

A two-snowmobile accident, reported at 3:17 p.m.,
Saturday, injured two people
seriously enough to call in the

According to the McLeod

two snowmobiles crashed into
a drainage ditch in the area of
Highway 212 and Hilton Avenue, west of Glencoe.

How are the New Year resolutions coming?
I read this quote once that
said, “May the New Year bring
you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is
to swear off every kind of virture, so that I triumph even
when I fall!”
I had to laugh at that one. It
sounds like something I could
live up to.
I don’t make resolutions that
are unattainable, but inevitably, it seems that every
January of a new year is strong
and successful, as I plow into
the year full steam ahead, but
by Feb. 10 or so, my schedule
gets busy with meetings and
meetings and meetings, and
some weather disaster like a
blizzard sets in and then I have
no motivation to do anything.
Oh, who am I kidding? By
Jan. 10 I am pooped out from
trying so hard to accommodate
my resolutions into a busy
schedule that I forget what
they even were.
This year, I’ve been so sidetracked with the holiday
schedules and deadlines and
family get-togethers, that I
didn’t even get the chance to
make any New Year’s resolutions.
I know it’s not yet too late to
make a few resolutions, as we
round off our second week in
January, and a few goals for
2013 have crossed my mind.
And you know what? I think
writing them down and putting
them in print will hold me
more accountable. Not to mention, it gives the few of you
who read this section the
power to hold me to them
throughout the year, so I better
work at them.
But this year, I’m going to
try something a little different
with my resolutions. I usually
make promises to myself that
surround the popular subjects,
like health and finance and organization, but I need to be
more specific.

Panther wrestlers repeat at Ogilvie
By Kevin Simonson
Special to The Leader
On the strength of seven individual champions and 20
total pins, the GSL/LP
wrestlers have brought home
the championship trophy from
the Ogilvie Lions Invitational
for the second straight year.
Panther wrestlers went 27-10
in matches wrestled and scored
20 pins while giving up only 4.
Only seven teams participated in the 33rd annual event,
and GSL/Lester Prairie was
the only team to fill all 14
weights. Second-place SartellSt. Stephen used 13 wrestlers.
Panthers earning championship medals were Jacob
Jewett (106), Michael Donnay
(120), Brandon Richter (126),
Nate Tesch (138), Mitchell
Hartwig (152), John Williams
(170) and Dalton Clouse
(195).
Jewett, a second seed, won
his first two matches each by
fall; then jumped out to an 111 lead against top-seeded
Caleb Kreitter of Crosby-Ironton in the championship
match. Jewett, who settled for
a 13-2 victory, also was recognized as being the tournament’s outstanding wrestler.
Donnay opened his title run
with a 15-0 technical fall —
his 60th career win at the varsity level. He won his final two
matches by fall, in 24 seconds
and 49 seconds.

GSL girls’ team tops Luverne, New Ulm
By Lee Ostrom
Sports Editor
After starting the season with
six straight losses, the GlencoeSilver Lake girls’ basketball
team now operates with a
three-game winning streak.
The Panthers got to 2-6 by
downing Luverne, 39-26, Dec.
28 in Marshall; then won again,
51-29, last Saturday at New
Ulm.
Defense was a key factor in
each victory. GSL limited Luverne to only eight second-half
points. Eight days later, GSL
outscored New Ulm 30-6 in the
first half of the teams’ Jan. 5
clash.
As a result, the Panthers took
a 3-6 mark into last night’s
Wright County Conference
home date with Dassel-Cokato.
GSL is at Mound-Westonka on
Friday, home against NYA
Central (6 p.m. tip) Saturday,
and at New London-Spicer on
Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Decorated forwards Clarissa
Ober and Stephanie Klockmann led Panther scorers and
rebounders in GSL’s most recent games.
Against Luverne, Ober tallied 16 points and grabbed 16
boards, while Klockmann, a
junior, added 13 points and 11
rebounds.
At New Ulm, Klockmann
topped all scorers with 18
points. She also took down six
boards. Ober added eight points
and 11 rebounds.
A 6-1 senior, Ober also
blocked five shots and got
credit for seven steals in the
two games.
Against Luverne, GSL had
an 11-to-11 ratio of assists and
turnovers. Klockmann and
guard Maddie Monahan were
charted for three assists apiece.
At New Ulm, Monahan
added six points, six boards, six
steals and four assists, while
Samantha Lange also tallied six
points.
In all, no fewer than 10 Panthers tallied at least two points
against the Eagles.

GYMNASTICS
GSL boys fall 66-55 at home
November
By Rich Glennie
Editor
lagued by foul trouble,
missed scoring opportunities, turnovers and
poor free throw shooting, the
Glencoe-Silver Lake Panthers
dropped a 66-55 non-conference decision to the visiting
Jordan Hubmen Saturday afternoon.
Ethan Masss and Travis
Rothstein, the Panthers starting
guards, were both in foul trouble midway into the first half.
In a foul-plagued game, Jordan was having the same trouble. It was a matter of whose
depth would prevail, or whose
star would stay in the game. It
also boiled down to who could
make free throws. Jordan won
on all counts.
In the end, it was Jordan’s
Brian Hartman who propelled
the Hubmen to victory.
Maass, who sat out a large
portion of the first half and
picked up his fourth foul early
in the second, re-entered the
game and pulled GSL within
51-50 with a basket with 4:04
left to play.
But Hartman and the Hubmen came right back. The junior guard hit a three-point shot
at the top of the circle to give
Jordan a 54-50 edge.
Later, Hartman drove the
lane for a basket and two free
throws in a span of 29 seconds
that sealed Jordan’s victory.
The physical game was
closely called. Both teams
were in the bonus early in each
half. Jordan simply made more
January
P
free throws down the stretch.
***
— GSL made 23 of the 77
shots it attempted from the
field, an icy 29 percent. The
Panthers were 3 of 14 (21 percent) from beyond the 3-point
arc.
Greg Ober, a senior guard,
was 6-for-11 and senior forward Trenton Draeger 4-for-6.
But Maass was 5-for-13, Reed
Dunbar 4-for-18 and Keaton
Anderson 2-for-13.
— At the free-throw line,
GSL went 6 of 16 (37.5 percent). Ober was 4-for-6 and
Brandon Ebert was 2-for-2.
Collectively, everyone else was
0-for-8.
Jordan made 16 free throws
and missed 16 free throws.
Rebounds went 41-37 in Jordan’s favor. Anderson led GSL
rebounders with 11 boards.
Dunbar pulled down seven. He
also got credit for four assists
and a couple of steals.
Ober finished with a Panther-high 16 points, to go with
three steals, two assists and
four boards.

GSL Knowledge Bowl teams in top 4
On Saturday, Jan. 5, Glencoe-Silver Lake Knowledge
Bowlers competed at Lac qui
Parle Valley High School in
western Minnesota, and
placed in the top four at the
meet.
“It had been a month since
the last meet for the junior varsity and varsity, and they were
ready,” said GSL coach Vicky
Harris.
“Lac qui Parle Valley had
decided to add some unusual
‘nerdy’ questions about science fiction series like ‘Star
Trek’ and ‘Doctor Who,’ TV
shows like ‘The Big Bang
Theory’ and video games.
This, and an invitation to wear
costumes, made the meet interesting,” Harris added.
There were 13 teams in the
varsity division from nine
schools. The two GSL teams
placed in the top four.
Willmar and Hutchinson
started in first and second
places with written scores of
49 and 45 and competed for
the whole meet in Room 1.
Willmar won the meet with
104 points.
GSL’s teams began the meet
in Room 2 with slightly lower
written scores (44 for GSL 1,
40 for GSL 2). After round 1,
GSL 1 moved up to Room 1.
It competed in Room 1 for the
next two rounds, while GSL 2
stayed in Room 2.
However, the scores of the
top four teams remained similar, and for round four the two
GSL teams traded places.
GSL 2 finished in second
with 100.5 points, while
Hutchinson and GSL 1 ended
tied for third with 100 points,
“so these three teams were extremely close,” Harris said.
The members of the second
place GSL 2 were Lindsey
Becker, Patrick Fehrenbach,
and Jacob Wawrzyniak. Third
place GSL 1 members were
Joe
Fehrenbach,
Mark
Broderius and Chandler Swift.
The junior varsity division
included 13 teams from 10
schools.
GSL’s team began in Room
3 with a written score of 31,
but steadily moved up during
the meet. For rounds two and
three, it was in Room 2, where
it won each round, then went
to Room 1 for the final round.
Harris said the Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City (ACGC)

Weather Corner
By Jake Yurek
This week’s forecast will be quite difficult as a warm,
then active, weather pattern sets up over the upper Midwest. Warning: forecast confidence is low as computer
models are having a very tough time deciding what is actually going to happen.
We’ll start the week out very warm, producing a not-toooften-seen January thaw. Highs should make it well into
the 30s, with some areas of southern Minnesota pushing
perhaps to 40. This is all ahead of what basically amounts
to a double-barreled storm system sliding its way into the
area late week.
The first impulse will come Thursday into early Friday.
Right now, computers are keeping most of the precipitation
in the form of rain as things will be too warm in all layers
of the atmosphere to get snow. As the precipitation moves
on, there could be a mess, however, with rain, freezing rain,
sleet and snow not out of the question.
The second, and possibly more powerful storm for us,
should enter the area by very late Friday into Saturday.
There will be enough cold air with this one to make everything snow, but it’s hard to pinpoint almost a week out who
the bullseye will be on.
My advice about the end of this forecast … stay tuned
to more up-to-date forecasts, especially if you have weekend plans!
Behind the storms, COLD air will move back in so get
out and enjoy the warmth while it is here. There is a very
cold pool of air building in northern Canada and a piece is
wiggling its way free, so we could be in for some of the
coldest air of the season by late next week if things pan
out.
Have a great week!

Weather Quiz: What were the top five weather stories
for 2012 in Minnesota?
Answer to last week’s question: It was a year of ups and
downs. We started out near normal and then went very
warm and wet early. We proceeded to end the year warm,
but the rain faucet turned off, and we are currently in the
middle of a moderate to severe drought. In the end, the
Twin Cities tied for the warmest year on record, with St.
Cloud coming in with its second warmest year ever. Can’t
wait to see what this year brings!
