Food Shelf to try some evening hours

The McLeod Emergency Food Shelf will be trying out some evening hours at both its locations — Glencoe and Hutchinson.
Executive Director Lennie Albers said that evening hours for both accepting donations and distributing food will be held each Thursday starting Thursday, Jan. 8. Donations will be accepted from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, while distributions will be from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Albers said both donors and clients have been asking for some evening hours.

County Board drops proposed tax hike

After a failed motion to increase its 2015 levy 2 percent, the McLeod County Board voted Tuesday morning for a 0 percent increase.
A 2 percent increase would have raised an additional $365,872 in 2015, which Board Chair Paul Wright said would have been tagged for implementing the results of a salary compensation study that is currently under way.
But commissioners Ron Shimanski and Jon Christensen argued against the proposed increase, citing the current farm economy.

Denny’s Barber Shop next on city of Glencoe’s demolition list

Glencoe’s downtown area will lose its third business building on Greeley Avenue within a year.
The Glencoe City Council heard Monday night that the building that houses Denny’s Barber Shop, 1218 Greeley Ave., was recently condemned for occupancy after a city building inspection of the rental units resulted in a structural engineer being called in. That resulted in the condemnation action after it was discovered the building was leaning to the north and could not be repaired.

Living Nativity set for Saturday evening

The Evangelism Committee at First Lutheran Church in Glencoe, along with the Rev. James Gomez of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, also in Glencoe, are planning another live nativity to take place at Oak Leaf Park this Saturday, Dec. 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The two organizing churches were approached by the Glencoe Area Chamber of Commerce two years ago with hopes that Glencoe could have a living nativity similar to that in Arlington.
