Social host ordinance
passes on 3-2 vote
County Board debates underage drinking
By Lori Copler
Staff Writer
On a 3-2 vote Tuesday, the McLeod County
Board of Commissioners passed a social host
ordinance, with commissioners Jon Christensen and Ron Shimanski casting the dissenting votes.
Christensen had the strongest criticism of
the proposed ordinance, which would make
hosting a party at which underage drinking
took place a misdemeanor offense for the
“host.”
Christensen said he raised the issue with
constituents, many of whom felt the ordinance
does not address the real concern, “which is
how the kids are getting alcohol.”
Christensen said he also consulted an attorney, who indicated that adopting the law could
open those charged to civil, as well as criminal
action.
Christensen also called the proposed ordinance “more of a guilty until proven innocent
type of a law.”
Another concern raised by those to whom he
talked, Christensen said, was that it would create more drinking and driving.
“Now we’re putting them into vehicles and
they’re drinking and driving,” said Christensen. “Rather than be grounded in one place,
we’re putting them on the road.”
Shimanski, on his part, said he felt that there
are already too many laws on the books and,
while he felt current prosecutors would use the
ordinance responsibly in considering charges,
“is it crafted tight enough that another prosecutor wouldn’t try to stretch the boundaries.”

The McLeod County Board of Commissioners hosted its annual student government day Tuesday, with students from
both Glencoe-Silver Lake and Hutchinson in attendance. Pictured above is GSL
instructor Tom Schoper and the three
GSL delegates, Austin Jackson (pink
shirt), Brooke Noeldner and Chad
Thompson. The students were actively
involved in a discussion of a proposed
social host ordinance, and also met with
Judge Michael Savre and toured other
departments in the courthouse.

‘Around the World in 8 Plays’
Glencoe-Silver Lake’s spring play “Around the
World in 8 Plays” opens at 7:30 p.m., Thursday,
May 2, in the high school auditorium. The play
also has performances on Friday and Saturday at
7:30 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee performance on
Sunday. Director is Patrick Hiltner said the production is a comedic exploration of tales and cultures from around the world. Some of the large
cast include, from left to right, Ellie Forcier, Jordan Doolittle, Lillianna Mallak and Leah Peterson.
A settlement conference in the
criminal case against former Glencoe
businessman Bryan Koepp has been
set for Friday, according to District
Court records.
Koepp, former owner of the Glencoe Garden Center, is facing eight
felony counts of theft by swindle and
theft by false representation for allegedly obtaining loans from several
people under false pretenses and then
not repaying them.
A jury trial also remains on the
court calendar, and District Court
Judge Thomas McCarthy has granted
a motion for a change of venue that
was made by Koepp’s public defender. If the case proceeds to a jury trial,
it will be held in Sibley County District, rather than McLeod County,
starting Tuesday, May 14.
Koepp’s attorney, Fran Eggert, in
his motion, said that pre-trial publicity and the potential witness list will
make it difficult to find an impartial
jury pool in McLeod County.
McLeod County Attorney Mike
Junge, in a response, said that pretrial publicity had been “factual” and
“not derisive.” Junge also asked the
judge to deny the motion because
Koepp has relatives in Sibley County,
may have other alleged victims in
Sibley County, and has been employed at the Winthrop golf course.
According to Junge, some of the
same issues regarding venue in
McLeod County would apply in Sibley County.
Bryan Koepp
In his ruling, McCarthy said that
he did not feel that pre-trial publicity
was, in itself, enough justification to
move the trial to Sibley County. But
pre-trial publicity combined with a
potential witness list that contains
several prominent McLeod County
residents does warrant a change of
venue, he ruled. The judge also said
that an impartial jury could be seated
in Sibley County.
Once postponed, Panther Art Prowl reset for May 9
The public is invited to attend the first GSL
K-12 Panther Art Prowl, postponed due to a

Join Hands Day set May 4
at Good Shepherd church
Join Hands Day is set for
Saturday, May 4. This is a nation-wide effort, with local
project, supported by
Thrivent Financial for
Lutherans, with an emphasis
on doing good in the community and working together
across generations.
This year, the Glencoe Rotary Club will be involved
again in this joint effort, and
participants will be making
bags of soup.
The soup, once assembled,
will be donated to the local
food shelf, which is excited
to receive this help, as usual.
The partnership between the
Glencoe Rotary and Thrivent
Financial for Lutherans is
now into its third year, according to the Rev. James
Gomez.
The first year saw new
steps and small patios being
built for the trailer homes on
the east side of Glencoe, as
safety was a big concern with
some of the entrance/exit
areas.
The second year (last year),
Rotarians and residents of
those homes worked side-byside to build garden boxes for
many of the homes.
“This year, a different need
is being addressed, and we’re
working indoors at Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church to
make sure the job gets done,”
Gomez said.
“We’ll begin the event at
10 a.m., with some help arriving beforehand to set up.
With a target of 500 or more
bags, we project a strong
hour to accomplish our task,
after which we will enjoy a
little soup for lunch,” Gomez
said. “The community (all
ages) is welcome to join us,”
he added.

Neighbors express concerns
about proposed highway shed
By Lori Copler
Staff Writer
A couple of neighbors
protested McLeod County’s
plans to build a highway
maintenance shed southwest
of the Highway 7/County
State Aid Highway (CSAH)
15 intersection, but the
McLeod County Planning
Commission will recommend
approval of a conditional use
permit to allow the shed to
the County Board of Commissioners.
At a public hearing held by
the Planning Commission
April 24, neighbors expressed
concern about increased truck
traffic on CSAH 15, safety on
the road and potential noise
from back-up alarms and the
loading of sand and gravel.
The county is planning to
build the highway shed on
about 9-1/2 acres of land. The
proposal includes a nearly
12,000-square-foot shed to
store and maintain vehicles,
and another sand/salt storage
building of about 5,120
square feet.
County Zoning Administrator Larry Gasow said the
building of the facility is an
allowed use in an agricultural
zone, but it requires the conditional use permit because
the property is less than 10
acres in size.
Neighbor Joel Zellmann,
who has a retail automotive
business across the road from
the proposed site, said he had
concerns about the road.
“That road is already getting kind of narrow, and now
you’re going to add even
more traffic? Wow,” said
Zellmann. Zellmann said
concern about traffic “was a
big issue” when he applied
for his conditional use permit,
and “now we’re going to add
dump trucks?”
Ron Vorlicek, another
neighbor, said he was concerned about the driveway
being too close to the intersection. “There’s a lot of traffic coming up to the stop
sign, and there’s a little bit of
a hill,” he said. “The view is
tough for a car. It’s a safety
issue.”
Elvis Voigt, county highway maintenance supervisor,
said that plans to improve
CSAH 15 are in place, but
because he is not part of the
engineering department, he
was not sure of when or how
the road would be improved.
Voigt did say, however, that
“there has been talk of a turn
lane when the road is reconstructed.”
Until that reconstruction
project happens, Voigt said,
the highway department is
planning a wider driveway
approach to accommodate the
turning trucks.
Voigt also said that, except
during snow removal, traffic
in and out of the shed should
be minimal, with trucks leaving in the morning and not returning until the end of the
day.
“It’s not like they’re going
in and out all day long,”
Voigt said.
The building will have 12
stalls, and Voigt said the plan
is to house four trucks, a
motor grader, a loader and
other miscellaneous equipment in the building.
Ivan Alsleben, another resident in the area, asked why
the county was building the
shed.
Voigt said the proposed
shed will replace two aging
sheds currently located in Silver Lake and Lester Prairie,
with the one shed between
the two communities.
Voigt said the Silver Lake
and Lester Prairie buildings
were both designed for smaller, single-axle trucks, and
there is not enough area to
walk around today’s larger
equipment.
“The guys have to climb
over the trucks because they
can’t walk around them,” said
Voigt. “It’s a safety issue.”
Alsleben also asked how
the proposed $1.2 million
building would be paid for.
Mark Johnson, the Commission chair, said that Alsleben would have to take
that question to the County
Board.
“We’re just here to discuss
the building,” said Johnson.
Zellmann also was concerned about noise, particularly the back-up alarms early
in the morning on snowy
days.
Bill Hard, Commission
member, said that the building and lot were both designed for through traffic.
“The only backing up
would be inside the building,” said Hard.
Zellmann said that would
not hold true when the pay
loader was loading sand and
gravel into trucks.
Hard pointed out that
would take place to the northwest of the building, away
from the neighbors.
However, Hard did say he
felt some type of screening
should be used to shield view
of the building from Zellmann’s residence, and the
commission added a tree belt
as a condition on the permit.
With that condition, the
Commission approved the
permit, which will now go
before the County Board for
final approval at its May 21
meeting.

The McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, May 1, 2013, page 4
Is there a tax that
DFLers do not like?
Probably not
Our view: If all the proposed tax increases
are enacted, DFLers will be in minority in ’14
I
s there a state tax that Democrats do not like? Probably not
because there has been a
steady parade of tax increase proposals coming out of the state Capitol
this session on everything from sales
taxes to income taxes to “sin” taxes
(tobacco and alcohol). It adds up to
about $3 billion in new state taxes if
all are approved. What is left?
And what does the DFL-controlled Legislature plan to do with
all these new taxes being shoved
down our throats? The list is substantial ranging from free all-day
kindergarten to repaying school districts for funds shifted by past legislatures to a wide variety of other
new projects and initiatives.
Do not be surprised if someone
proposes that state taxpayers foot the
state’s share of the new Vikings stadium. It will likely sneak into an
omnibus bill late in the session,
buried deeply so no one notices until
it is too late.
It appears DFLers want to right all
the perceived legislative wrongs of
the past several decades — all in one
fell swoop.
Maybe they already know this, but
if any or all of these tax bills are enacted, DFLers will be in the minority
after the next election. And rightly
so. So this may be DFLers’ only opportunity to do as much budget damage as possible before being ousted
from the Capitol.
The problem is, it may take years
of budget austerity to get state
spending back under control.
The DFL House is trying to keep
up with the DFL Senate in seeing
who can raise taxes faster and in bigger increments.
The Senate’s comprehensive $1.8
billion tax overhaul plan aims directly at income taxes to raise more revenue. It also takes aim at tobacco
users and expands the sales tax to
clothing for the first time.
DFLers claim the money would
go toward wiping out the state’s
$627 million deficit. Prior to the session, that deficit was estimated at
$1.2 billion. That alone implies the
economy is improving with more
workers going back to work and
paying more taxes. There has been a
gradual reduction in the deficit on its
own. More taxes will likely slow
down that natural growth in state
revenues.
But forget the obvious.
DFLers in the House, not to be
outdone, have proposed free all-day
kindergarten statewide and more
dollars for K-12 education to the
tune of a $15.7 billion education bill,
or another $500 million over current
spending.
So does this major infusion of new
tax dollars into classrooms guarantee
better results? Does it guarantee
smarter students, better prepared for
post-secondary education or the
work force?
No. So why not spend additional
dollars on programs that have
proven to be successful, instead of
tossing money at the “achievement
gap” in hopes that something positive happens?
Let us get right to the point. If the
main goal this session is supposed to
be balancing the next biennium
budget to cover the projected $627
million deficit, why do we need $3
billion in new revenues?
The simple answer is DFLers want
to spend your money; they want to
expand the size and scope of state
government. They also want to buy
their re-election in 2014.
DFLers have chafed under the
tight budgets of the past. It is like a
pent-up spending frenzy being unleashed this session.
If DFLers are paying attention at
all, the economy is improving, state
tax revenues are increasing and the
state budget deficit is declining —
all without the use of additional
taxes.
So get out of the way and let the
state economy heal itself. Freeze
state spending at current levels,
spend what is available wisely and
let state revenues catch up.
And by the way, forget all those
non-essential issues, like same-sex
marriage, this session. If not,
DFLers will learn the hard way what
Republicans already know from the
2012 election — it is all about jobs
and the economy. Veer from that,
and you will be in the minority
again.

Guest columns:
Tax Omnibus Bill: Will you be better off?
By State Sen. Scott Newman,
R-Hutchinson
The Tax Omnibus Bill:
• Everyone pays more.
• How does this bill grow Minnesota’s economy?
• What are we getting for this
massive tax increases?
How bad is this bill? It is so bad
that the DFL majority could not pass
its own bill the first time and after
twisting some arms REVOTED and
passed the bill.
This bill raises $1.84 billion in
new tax hikes for FY 2014-15. It
would make Minnesota’s income tax
the fourth highest in the nation, behind only California, Hawaii and
Oregon. This bill freezes tax relief
on commercial real estate and creates a new sales tax on services and
Internet sales.
Minnesotans can’t afford the Senate Democrats’ tax plan. Everyone
will pay more for clothing, auto repair, haircuts and over-the-counter
medication.
We should not be extracting an
extra dime from hard-working taxpayers of Minnesota until the Legislature goes line-by-line through our
budget and cuts the waste that has
been accumulating. Raising taxes
penalizes small businesses and jeopardizes the welfare of people who
work for those businesses.
Think about this, the DFL party is
elated to be raising your taxes. Senator Rod Skoe, Senate Tax chair, was
quoted in Politics in Minnesota as
saying: “When I woke up this morning, I was so excited I almost
smiled,” on having his Tax Omnibus
bill being heard.
You can read the whole article
here: http://politicsinminnesota.
com/2013/04/senate-tax-bill-increases-top-income-tax-rate-to-9-4-percent/.
Below are the major provisions in
the bill that employers and employees alike will be facing should the
DFL pass this tax bill:
• Increases sales taxes in the
amount of $89 million over FY
2014-15 by expanding the sales tax
base to include a new sales tax on:
• Clothing, over-the-counter
drugs, personal services (hair, nails,
tattoos), other personal services
(wedding planning, dating services,
personal shopping), auto repair services, household goods repair and
maintenance, electronic and commercial equipment repair and maintenance, warehousing and storage
services, telecommunications equipment, court reporter documents, and
publications (excluding newspapers).
• Increases cigarette/tobacco taxes
by $333 million over FY 2014-15
largely through adopting the governor’s 94-cent-per-pack additional tax
on cigarettes.
• Increases individual income
taxes by $1.2 billion by increasing
the current 7.85 percent third tier to
9.4 percent — single: $79,730; head
of household: $120,070; and married
joint: $140,960.
This is not the “tax the rich”
mantra the governor has been promoting, but rather a tax increase on
middle income, taxpayers.
• Increases the statewide property
tax by $176 million largely by freezing the tax rate for commercial-industrial (C/I) property at the rate imposed for taxes payable in 2002. The
inflator for C/I property is eliminated.
• Increases business taxes by a net
$63 million in FY 2014-15 through
the repeal of the Foreign Royalty
Deduction. With the repeal of this
deduction on business income
earned outside of the state of Minnesota, why would a corporation remain or come to Minnesota? Does
our tax policy affect business decisions, remember HTI?
• Creates a 13 percent sports
memorabilia gross receipts tax ($32
million tax increase) imposed at the
wholesale level on licensed professional and Collegiate Division 1
merchandise.
• Recognizes a $24 million estate
tax increase by tightening current
law criteria on exemptions for qualified farms and small businesses.
• Increases sales tax on rental vehicles by almost 50 percent from 6.2
percent to 9.05 percent raising $15
million.
• Expands sales taxes on Internet
sales, digital downloads and direct
satellite services.
The DFL campaigned that they
would only raise taxes on the “rich”
and that any tax increases would
only impact a few people. As you
can see by the proposed tax increases above, that is not the case.
The simple truth is that higher
taxes do not lead to a healthier economy. Minnesota can’t afford to have
thousands of small businesses pay
more in taxes rather than hire new
employees, buy new equipment or
otherwise expand their business.
So I ask you: Will you and your
family be better off if this bill becomes law?

State Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen,
R-Glencoe
I wanted to share with constituents
some updates about the budget bills
passed by the House this past week.
I hope, as always, you’ll contact me
with any input you have about these
or any future bills. These bills will
ultimately go to conference committee, where differences between the
House and the Senate will be
worked out before coming back to
the House for final passage before
heading to the governor’s desk.
Health and Human Services:
The only budget area Democrats
chose to cut this session was in
Health and Human Services. While I
was glad to see Democrats talking
about starting to bend down the cost
curve and get HHS spending under
control, the cuts that were made
were without any meaningful reforms that would reduce future
costs, and were made indiscriminately in areas that could have negative consequences on the state of
Minnesota.

Part of the $150 million cut to the
HHS budget was $26 million from
nursing homes and senior care centers. Minnesota has an aging population. By 2020, it’s estimated that we
will have more seniors in retirement
than students in our K-12 education
system. With these kind of demographic realities, it doesn’t make
sense to be cutting funding from
senior care centers.
The Republican budget we passed
in 2011 made a promise to seniors.
Unfortunately, Democrats reneged
on that promise to the tune of a $26
million cut from what Republicans
had set under law to give to the
nursing homes and senior care centers.
Again, I applaud the majority for
finally coming to realize that we
must get our spending under control,
but this is simply the wrong way to
do it.
We must make serious reforms
that address the cost drivers in our
health care system, and find ways to
deliver health care services to our

citizens more efficiently and more
effectively, rather than cutting from
our most vulnerable.
With 100 nursing homes at risk of
closure around the state, it’s irresponsible and risky to be making
these types of cuts.
K-12 education: As a member of
the Education Finance committee, it
was great to see months of work and
collaboration come to the floor in
the form of the K-12 Omnibus bill.
I ultimately voted no on the K-12
bill because it removes graduation
standard testing, and dilutes the
meaning of a students’ diploma. It
also grows the Minnesota Department of Education, adding layers of
bureaucracy in the form of “regional
centers of excellence” rather than
adding more funding that would go
directly to classrooms.
Worse, the bill has a $1 billion
negative tail, meaning we will be
faced with a funding shortfall in future years, even though the Democrats are already raising $3 billion
dollars in new taxes and fees.

Glencoe blood drive surpasses its goal
To the Editor:
I am excited to thank the
donors and volunteers for the
Glencoe Community Blood
Drive for another very successful blood drive on
Wednesday, April 24.
The American Red Cross
set a collection goal for us of
109 units. I was so happy to
learn at the end of the day
that we surpassed that goal
by collecting 130 units!
Each unit of blood can save
up to three lives, so the units
donated at this drive have the
potential to save 390 lives.
Awesome!
First and foremost, we appreciate all the donors for
taking time out of your busy
days to sit with us awhile and
give of yourselves to save the
life of someone you will
probably never meet. Your
generosity is invaluable.
Blood is a perishable product
and cannot be manufactured;
it can only come from volunteer donors. Thank you for
that donation!
We appreciate also all the
dozens of volunteers (including businesses) who make the
blood drives possible. Without your selfless donations of
talents and time and services,
there would be no blood
drives.
My greatest appreciation
goes to the backbone of our
volunteers: scheduling chairperson, Nelda Klaustermeier,
and her crew of callers. Without the scheduled appointments, we wouldn’t have the
donors!
I will be interested to see
where the units collected on
April 24 will be utilized. At
our November 2012 blood
drive with a goal of 106
units, we collected 142 units
which had the potential to
benefit 426 lives.
We received a notice that
those November donations
were dispersed where most
needed to help patients in the
following hospitals: (in Minnesota) U of M Riverside
Minneapolis, Fairview Edina,
Crosby, Lake City and New
Prague; (in Wisconsin)
Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire
and Osceola; some of the
units were also dispersed to
Gulfport, Miss., and Little
Rock, Ark.
Maybe your donation
helped someone you know.
Our next Glencoe community blood drive is scheduled
for Wednesday, July 31, at
the Glencoe City Center.
Some donors have already
pre-scheduled their donation
times for that July drive. If
you wish to also pre-schedule
your appointment, please call
Nelda at 320-864-3475. Otherwise, please respond positively when you are contacted
by one of our callers in July.
You have the ability to give
the “gift of life;” one of the
lives you save may be someone you know.

Guest column:
Dangerous times for teen drivers
scription drugs (23 percent),
and about one in seven teens
who report drinking and driving (14 percent), say they’re
not distracted “at all” when
mixing substance use with
driving.
This cavalier attitude toward driving under the influence is made more somber in
light of recent data from the
Governors Highway Safety
Association which found an
alarming 19 percent increase
in the number of teen driver
deaths (ages 16 and 17) in the
first half of 2012.
“The end of the school year
and the summer months are
exciting times for teens, but
they are also the most dangerous,” says Dave Melton, a
driving safety expert with
Liberty Mutual Insurance and
managing director of global
safety. “A celebratory toast
can quickly lead to serious
consequences down the line.
These new data illustrate that
there is clearly a strong need
to increase the level of education around risk. More importantly, it’s a flag for parents to
make sure they talk to their
kids regularly about the importance of safe driving behavior.”
His thoughts are echoed by
SADD.
“Parents play an incredibly
important role in communicating expectations to their
teen drivers, enforcing consequences for ignoring family
driving rules, and setting a
good example behind the
wheel,” says Penny Wells,
SADD’s president and CEO,
who points to Liberty Mutual’s Parent/Teen Driving Contract and SADD’s Contract
for Life as effective conversation starters for parents and
their teen drivers.
The good news is that more
than 90 percent of teens say
their school has a program or
policy in place to deter illegal
behavior, the most common
being security guards or police.
Additionally, the use of
breathalyzers at school events
is up nearly 25 percent. Yet,
while school programs play
an important role in keeping
teens from engaging in dangerous activities, unsupervised celebrations make parent communication about safe
driving more critical than
ever.
If teens really believe there
are no adverse consequences
from driving impaired, we
have our work cut out for us
… lest many more families
become shattered from injury
and death.
Stephen Gray Wallace,
senior advisor for policy, research and education at
SADD and an associate research professor and director of the Center for Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) at Susquehanna University, has broad experience as a school psychologist and adolescent/
family counselor.

Prom and graduation season, the Fourth of July and
summer vacation give pause
to parents of teenagers everywhere. Why? Because celebration paired with newfound
freedom can trigger tragedy
on our roads and highways.
Indeed, young people
themselves report that these
times of year are the most
dangerous when it comes to
driving. And alcohol and
other drugs are primary reasons.
According to new research
from SADD (Students
Against Destructive Decisions) and Liberty Mutual Insurance, 23 percent of teens
admit to driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana
or other drugs. With 13 million driving-aged teenagers,
according to the U.S. Census
Bureau, that means as many
as three million impaired
adolescents may be taking to
the road.
Ironically, most teens (91
percent) consider themselves
to be safe, cautious drivers.
For example, nearly 40 percent claim that alcohol has no
impact on their driving.
Some even say it helps. And
when it comes to operating a
motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana, a whopping 75 percent feel the same
way.
Specifically, about one in
four teens who have driven
under the influence of marijuana (25 percent) or pre-

Wilhelmine (Glander) Krueger, 61, died April 22 of blood
poisoning, caused by complications of diabetes. She and her
husband, F. Emanual Krueger,
had 14 children, six of whom
died in infancy, and another
daughter (Emma) who died a
year ago last November. Those
left to mourn her departure are
her husband, seven children
(four sons and three daughters),
one grandson, two sisters and a
brother.
Mrs. Gustave Rennecke, 24,
died at the German Lutheran
hospital in St. Paul on Thursday
morning, April 24. She was
taken sick with appendicitis four
weeks before and had been taken
to the city by Dr. Kohler, where
she was operated on for appendicitis as well as a floating kidney. She did as well as could be
expected after the operation until
Monday, when her condition
took a turn for the worse and she
died the following Thursday. She
is survived by her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Alsleben; her
sorrowing husband; and a little
3-year-old daughter.
Little Lester Zitelow died at
his home in this village Wednesday forenoon. He had been suffering from an abscess of the hip

Minneapolis resident, was
snuffed out Saturday evening in
a traffic mishap just a short distance from the bridge south of
the C.A. Sommerdorf farm on
Highway 212. Mr. West was enroute to Olivia to visit friends for
the weekend when the accident
occurred. There are many versions as to how the accident happened, but it seems he had a
blow out while going at top
speed and the car swerved to the
left side of the road and hit an
embankment, turning it over at
least once. He was evidently
thrown from the car because he
was discovered pinned underneath it. Jay Gould, who was
passing by, picked up him and
took him to the Glencoe hospital,
but before he reached the hospital the man was dead. The man’s
neck was broken.
The Junior Women’s Study

Wednesday,
April 17,
2013, at her
home at Orchard Estates
in Gladys
Roepke
Glencoe.
The organist was Bonnie Westmiller. The duet of Carolyn
and Charles Kirchoff sang
“This Garden Will Grow”
and “I Can Only Imagine,”
and the duet of Becky and
Preston Kranz sang “I Don’t
Need to Understand.” Special
music by Kenny Dose was a

Honorary pallbearers were
all her grandchildren and
step-grandchildren. Pallbearers were Charles Kirchoff,
Steve Roepke, Gregory

Gladys Elsie Von Berge
was born Aug. 24, 1920, in
Helen Township, McLeod
County, to Henry and Erbie
(Milbrandt) Von Berge. She
was baptized as an infant on
Sept. 12, 1920, and confirmed in her faith as a youth
on March 25, 1934, both by
the Rev. R.J. Duesterhoeft at
St. John’s Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Helen
Township. She received her
education at a country school.
On Sept. 3, 1939, Gladys
Von Berge was united in marriage to Loren A. Roepke by

The Power of Persistence
here is great power in persistence. Take for example, the angler who catches a large bass on that
final cast, or the hunter who stays on stand—just a little bit longer. Indeed, often “just a little
more” makes a big difference. The sales person sometimes makes their biggest sale at the end of the
day. Certainly the athletic team that continues to play hard right up to the end increases their odds of
winning when the buzzer sounds, or the whistle is blown. Even water that continually drips on a concrete floor will leave its mark. Eventually (perhaps after millions of drops) — the hardest concrete must
give way to persistence.
In the Bible believers are also encouraged to persist. Jesus clearly wanted His followers to be persistent when it came to prayer. In Luke 11 Jesus talked about a man who went to his friend at midnight in
order to borrow some loaves of bread to feed a friend on a journey. Jesus pointed out that although that
friend may not arise and give him the bread because he is his friend - he will because of the principle of
persistence. Jesus said, “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of
friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you
need” (Luke 11:8).
Later in the same Gospel Jesus again emphasized the importance of persistence by telling a parable
about a powerless widow woman and a wicked judge. The Scriptures state, “...Jesus told his disciples a
parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1). How about you? Are
you persistent when it comes to prayer?
The importance of persistence also applies when it comes to serving the Lord. The fact is (if you have
walked with the Lord long enough), there may be times when serving the Lord seems futile. In the
1700s, Irish statesman Edmund Burke wrote, “Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair.” Now,
the Lord does not want us to despair, but He does want us to faithfully serve.
The Apostle Paul knew that there were times when Christ’s followers would wonder if it was worth
the trouble. He told the believers in Galatia, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). And again, the Christians in Corinth
were challenged to persist in faithful service. Paul stated, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters,
stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you
know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
How about you? Are you persistent in the things of God? Friend, may God help you and may He help
me to keep praying, and keep serving. Let’s remember that there is power in persistence.

Chiropractor is
disciplined
HUTCHINSON — The
Hutchinson Leader reported
that Blaine M. MacDonald of
Glencoe, a chiropractor who
practices in Hutchinson and
Glencoe, has been disciplined by the Minnesota
Board of Chiropractic Examiners for having an inappropriate relationship with a female patient. His license has
been suspended for two
years, the Leader reported.
The order is stayed if MacDonald serves a 45-day suspension, after which he
would be on probation for
the rest of the two-year term.
The Plato Lions club celebrated its 30 years of service
to the community by emphasizing the motto “We Serve”
on March 25 at the Plato
Community Hall.
There were 23 members
present, along with 28 guests
to help the club celebrate.
Plato’s sponsoring club in
1983 was the Hamburg
Lions. The first four women
could not join until 1991, and
the club’s guiding Lion was
Bill Curtis of the Glencoe
Lions Club.
Guest speaker for the
evening was District Govenor
Ron Dahlke of the Glencoe
Lions Club, who spoke about
the “Reading Action” program, which is a call to action for every Lions club
around the world to organize
service projects and activities
that underscore the importance of reading and to address the specific needs related to illiteracy within their
own communities.
Lions are known in 207
countries and help at hospitals, senior centers, schools,
in areas battered by natural
disasters, eyeglass recycling
centers and with many community work projects.
Dahlke also said the Reading Action program will continue another nine years
thanks to the Lions.
One billion adults, or 26
percent of the world’s population, cannot read or write at
a fourth-grade level, Dahlke
said, and he asked that all
Lions clubs complete the
Reading Action program.
Dahlke also updated the
Plato Lions on the mid-winter
convention at Mankato and
that district Lions clubs collected 18,000 pairs of eyeglasses that are recycled for
use with matching recipients
often in third world countries.
The Plato Lions also participates in the Parade of
Green at the mid-winter
Lions convention, and the Parade of Green collected
$91,000 this past year for
programs like the leader dog,
LCIF, Project New Hope, the
Minnesota Diabetic Foundation, Can Do Canines and the
Minnesota Lions Eye Bank.
Dahlke also talked about
the well known, but very
unique day that the Plato
Lions celebrate — White
Squirrel Day. The celebration
consists of an omelet brunch,
silent auction, duck races,
community church service,
hamburgers in the park and
the Hutch Clown Club that
comes to entertain the kids
and adults.
At the March 25 celebration, four Plato Lions received chevrons from Dahlke
for their years of service. The
30-year recipients were Tom
Pinske, Ed Dummer, Kenneth
Franke and Harlan Wilkens.
The 25-year recipient was
Orvillle Wilkens, and 20-year
recipient was Alan Schramm.
Plato Lion Ron Templin
was the recipent of the
Melvin Jones Fellow award.
The Plato Lions club also
remembered those no long
with the club by holding a
candle ceremony. The candle
was extinguished by Bev
Wilkens when the names
were read. The members included Harry Lepel, Bob
Pinske, John Arens, Wilma
Arens, Donald Werth, John
Kress and Lois Pinske.
The Plato Lions Club currently has 27 members, but is
always looking for new members. If interested, find a
Lions member and see what
the club is all about.

1,000 Books
Glencoe-Silver Lake School District preschoolers were honored
by the Glencoe Public Library recently for reading, or being read to,
in the “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” program that stresses the
importance of reading at a young
age. The youngsters also had an
opportunity to perform as well as
Sofia Amaya, Danielle Hermann
and Amelia Boetel, above, danced
to the music. At left, Ty Winterfeldt
also felt the beat of the music.
Thirty-nine youngsters took part in
the program that is co-sponsored
by the public libraries in Glencoe
and Brownton as well as GlencoeSilver Lake Early Childhood Family
Education (ECFE) program. Those
youngsters completing increments
of reading 1,000 books received
prizes.
May planting considerations
Source: David Nicolai,
Regional Extension
Educator, crops
Snow cover and precipitation
during the week ending April 21
continued to limit field work in
Minnesota, according to the
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.
The topsoil and subsoil moisture
levels are slowly recharging between frosts. Across Minnesota
topsoil moisture supplies were
rated 3 percent very short, 14 percent short, 59 percent adequate
and 24 percent surplus. Subsoil
moisture supplies were rated percent 18 very short, 38 percent
short, 40 percent adequate, and 4
percent surplus.
Temperatures remained below
normal throughout much of the
state. The University of Minnesota’s South West Research and Outreach Center’s weather station reported a soil temperature at the 2inch depth average of 33 degrees
on April 21 compared to 50 degrees on April 21, 2012.
Corn requires soil temperatures
of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
for germination. However, once
the last week of April is reached,
corn planting should generally
occur as soon as soils are dry
enough, regardless of soil temperature.
Wet soil conditions present a
challenge with field operations
such as applying fertilizers and
planting in the spring. Ensure that
soil conditions are optimum at
planting.
The concern we need to think
about this spring is the potential
for soil compaction. Side-wall
compaction that can occur at
planting due to wet soil conditions
stymies early seedling growth both
below and above ground and reduces yield potential.
Soil compactions occurring during planting causes root deformation and subsequently yield reduction. Remember that deeper compaction from planting, spraying
and harvesting equipment can reduce yields for future row crops.
Seed furrows also can open up
after heavy soil dries following
wet conditions at planting, result-
Social host ordinance Continued from page 1
Glencoe prosecutes one to
two social host cases a year,
and that it is incumbent upon
the police department to “do
our due diligence and make
sure the investigation is done
properly.”
Shimanski also noted that
stringent laws have long-lasting impacts on people’s job
security, saying that many
with records can’t find jobs
and end up on welfare.
Michele Barley, a public
defender who helped craft the
ordinance with a Zero Adult
Provider (ZAP) committee,
presented information about
the ordinance to a group of
students who were in attendance for student government
day. She tried to address
some of the commissioners’
concerns.
Barley likened the ordinance to both the seat belt
law and the law passed to restrict the sale of certain overthe-sale medication that also
is used to manufacture
methamphetamine.
The goal of such laws, is
public protection and to educate people about the perils of
illegal drug use or, in the case
cited above, the benefits of
using seat belts.
“Hopefully, this will
change the way people look
at underage drinking, and we
won’t need ordinances like
this any more,” said Barley.
And, she said, sometimes
the government takes the role
of protector and enacts laws
for public safety.
“Sometimes you have to
force people to see that this is
a safety issue,” said Barley.
Barley also said that most
of the crimes she sees in
court involve alcohol, drugs,
sex and gambling.
“If you saw in this courthouse what I see every day,
there is no way you’d vote
against this ordinance,” said
Barley.
One student said that a
countywide ordinance is better than a city one, such as
the one currently in use in
Glencoe.
Otherwise, Thompson said,
the local law just “forces people to move their parties out
into the county.”
Other students pointed out
inconsistencies in the laws.
For example, under state
statute, a parent can allow
their underage child to drink
in private setting with their
parents’ permission.
One student thought that
was OK.
“Your parents aren’t going
to let you get hammered and
stumble around,” she said.
But other students said that
if research shows that if alcohol use is dangerous to young
people, it ought not be allowed at all.
Barley said research shows
that alcohol can have emotional, physical and social im-
pacts on young people.
Young people’s brains, she
said, don’t fully develop until
they are in their mid-20s.
“People don’t start to make
wise choices for themselves
until they are in their mid20s,” Barley said.
As the discussion came to a
close, and before the County
Board voted, Chair Paul
Wright asked for a show of
hands from the students, asking them “are we making the
community safer, or are we
just finding another way to
bust somebody?”
Wright then noted that
there was some student support of each view.
The County Board then
voted, with Sheldon Nies,
Wright and Kermit Terlinden
voting in favor, and Christensen and Shimanski voting
against it.
ing in poor seed-to-soil contact
and poor stand establishment.
In addition, soil crusting can
greatly hinder soybean emergence
in fields planted under marginal
conditions.
What is the yield penalty for
late-planted corn? In a study
from 1988 to 2003 at University of
Minnesota Research and Outreach
Center at Lamberton, planting
dates ranging from April 21 to
May 6 produced grain yields within 1 percent of the maximum. In
another study from 2009 to 2011
at Lamberton, Morris, and Waseca
that was funded by the Minnesota
Corn Growers Association, grain
yield was within 1 percent of the
maximum when planting occurred
between April 25 and May 10.
In both studies, rapid decline in
corn yield did not occur until
planting was delayed beyond midMay when yield reductions of 3
percent and 15 percent when
planting was delayed until midMay and late May, respectively.
In order to maximize economic
return, Dr. Jeff Coulter, University
of Minnesota Extension corn specialist’s guideline for growers in
Minnesota is to stick with the
planned seed choices until May 20
to May 25. When planting occurs
after May 20 to May 25, it is wise
to switch to hybrids that are five to
seven relative maturity units earlier than full season for the region.
What is the yield penalty for
late-planted soybeans? Soybean
planting date trials conducted by
the University of Minnesota’s
Lamberton Research and Outreach
Center show similar, but not as severe, yield losses with delayed
planting. Results from these trials
show that planting soybeans
around June 1 will provide about
85 percent of a maximum theoretical yield.
However, yield potential drops
quickly as planting is delayed
though June. Soybean maturities
should be adjusted when planting
after about June 10. At this point,
plant a soybean variety with a relative maturity rating of 0.5 units
shorter than your original soybeans.
