To the Editor:
Many thanks to all the faithful donors who donated at the Glencoe Community Blood Drive on Wednesday, Nov. 16.

A Green Isle woman was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at the Glencoe hospital after a two-vehicle accident east of Glencoe Sunday.
The accident was reported at 5:27 p.m. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, Katie Finch, 34, of Glencoe, was driving eastbound on Highway 212, attempted to turn left and go north on Dairy Avenue, when her 2011 Toyota Rav 4 struck a westbound 2004 Pontiac Vibe, driven by Polly Rapp, 53, of Green Isle.

Tensions and frustrations erupted at Thursday morning’s Trailblazer Transit Joint Powers Board meeting when Sibley County Commissioner Jim Swanson proposed a questionnaire to follow up on the Sand Creek report, which assessed Trailblazer’s work environment and staff morale.
Swanson said a lot of questions were raised in the report, and the questionnaire he proposed would help the board determine if those concerns had been addressed.

The Glencoe City Council accepted a revised feasibility report on the proposed 2017 Baxter Avenue project at its meeting Monday night.
The new scope of the project eliminates 11th Street from Elliott to Ford avenues and Elliott Avenue from 11th Street to 12th Street.
It also adds installing a new water line, trench repair and paving on 11th Street from Armstrong to Chandler avenues.
The streets eliminated required minimal underground utility work and it is felt that the streets and surfaces are in adequate condition.
