County Board updated
on jail project progress
By Lori Copler
Editor
Now that there has been a good
stretch of dry weather, rapid
progress is being made on the extension to the McLeod County Jail
and Courthouse, the County Board
heard at its Tuesday meeting.
Sam Lauer of Contegrity, the
county’s construction management
firm, told the board that load-bearing walls for the first floor of the
jail addition are done, the lower
level floors have been poured, and
the topping is ready for the first
floor.
Once the first floor is done, the
contractors can begin to get the roof
in place.
“The big push is to get the roof
done and get it (the addition) closed
up,” said Lauer.
He also reported that the contractors will be able to use natural gas
from the permanent service line to
heat the addition during the remainder of construction, rather than having to use liquid propane. Lauer
said that using natural gas should
save significantly on heating costs
over the winter.
Lauer also reported that the new
Judd Avenue between 10th and 11th
streets, located east of the Courthouse parking lot, is close to being
opened.
Lauer said the first two lifts have
been paved, and the final lift will be
done in spring.
Lauer said the road should be
ready for traffic once appropriate
signage is in place.
County Attorney Mike Junge said
that the county will need to make
arrangements to turn ownership of
the road over to the city of Glencoe,
and he wasn’t sure if its should be
opened until ownership transfer is
complete.
Lauer also said that he plans to
document the road in its current
condition so that if there are issues
over the winter, there would be
something to compare it to in the
spring.
Commissioner Doug Krueger
asked about a planned storm water
pond.
Lauer said the pond is currently
at its maximum depth, but is not
finished yet. He said clay will be
brought in, and the pond will be
much more shallow than its current
state.
Krueger also brought up the fact
that several cars in the area were
coated with construction dust on a
day of light drizzle, and some car
owners were asking that they be reimbursed for cleaning costs.
“I just wanted to make sure you
are aware of it,” Krueger told his
fellow commissioners.
Lauer said cars affected were
some belonging to county employees, and some parked at the Post
Office and a nearby dental clinic.
Lauer said he is pushing the contractor to make contact with the car
owners.
Veterans Day program
set Friday at high school
Glencoe-Silver Lake High School
will host its Veterans Day program
Friday, Nov. 11, at 10:10 a.m., in
the high school gymnasium. The
program is open to the public.
The featured speaker will be Sgt.
Vihin Patel of the Minnesota National Guard.
Patel enlisted in the U.S. Marines
Corps in 2004 as a motor transportation operator. He conducted
three tours in Iraq and one tour with
the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft
carrier U.S.S. Tarawa. He transferred to Quantico, Virginia, in 2010
and held the billet of dispatch supervisor for base motors. Patel organ-
ized the logistical movements of
two Marine Corps marathons and
conducted numerous OCS operations to train future commissioned
officers of the Marine Corps.
Patel was discharged from active
duty on Dec. 25, 2012, and moved
to Minneota. He enlisted in the
Army National Guard in 2013 as an
88mm motor transportation operator
and currently drills in Chisholm
with the 114th Transportation.
Patel and his wife Kathryn reside
in Glencoe and have two children,
Noah, 7, and Brooklyn, 4, both students at Glencoe-Silver Lake’s
Helen Baker Elementary School.

‘Legally Blonde’ to open Thursday
“Audience members will be tickled pink by ‘Legally Blonde the
Musical,’” says Kay Wilson, director of GSL’s fall theater production.
“The musical entertains, but also
conveys a valuable message: Be
true to yourself!”
Based on the hit movie, “Legally
Blonde,” the musical is an invigorating gift of musical fun, wrapped
up with a snappy pink bow! Elle
Woods is the southern California
co-ed cutie, who is accustomed to
getting what she wants. When her
boyfriend, Warner, calls it off because she is not serious about her
future, Elle turns her attention from
fashion to the books and enrolls in
Harvard Law School. Along the
way, Elle proves that kindness and
compassion never go out of style.
The show features Emmi Jerabek
as Elle Woods. Elise Petersen plays
the beautician who encourages Elle
to be true to herself and her natural

City Council to file order of repair
for Hennepin Avenue property
Ehrke updates City Council on
economic development progress
By Karin Ramige
Publisher
Glencoe Assistant City Administrator Dan Ehrke updated the Glencoe City Council
on the many economic development projects going on in
the city.
Ehrke reported that the sale
of land to Twin Cities and
Western (TC&W) railroad
was completed a couple of
weeks ago. TC&W immediately started work on its expansion project in the industrial park on the east side of
Glencoe.
Also in the east industrial
park, Rice Builders has been
making progress on its new
building and it is working on
hiring staff for the location.
In the Glenctech Industrial
park, along Highway 22 west
of Glencoe, the sale of land to
BP Seeds has been closed and
construction is expected to
begin shortly.
Ehrke also reported that he
has been working on securing
a grant from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) that would provide
100 percent of the funding for
a phase two environmental
study at the old creamery site.
The owners of the property
have completed the phase one
study. The phase two study
must be completed in order to
seek grant funding for contamination removal.
The city is working on an
access agreement with the
owners.
The location has been mentioned as a possible site for a
new fire hall.

The Moreno family will be able to move
into their new home, built by Crow
River Habitat for Humanity, by Thanks-
Habitat to dedicate new home
After months of hard work,
construction is nearly complete and the Moreno family
of seven will buy and move
into their new home before
Thanksgiving.
This is Crow River Habitat
for Humanity’s 24th home
since 1994 and the community is invited to the home dedication on Saturday, Nov. 12,
at 10 a.m., at 504 Hilltop
Drive NE in Hutchinson.
Along with local Habitat for
Humanity representatives and
neighbors, the family will
speak during a short program.
Becoming Habitat Homebuyers has given parents
Julio and Mayra Moreno the
confidence to improve their
family’s lives.
The family has also been
very active in the building of
their new home, spending
over 400 hours of “sweat equity,” a basic tenet of Habitat
for Humanity. Julio Moreno
is grateful to his employer,
Millerbernd Systems, who
was flexible with his time this
summer so he could commit
time to building the home, as
well as while he battled thy-
roid cancer in recent years.
Mayra and Julio Moreno
and their five children, ranging from age 1 up to 15, are
extremely excited for their
future in this new home.
They look forward to having
a dog, enjoying backyard
camping, and going on family
bike rides on the Luce Line
Trail.
“We all can’t wait to have
more space,” said Mayra
Moreno. “Everyone will be
happier with more bedrooms
and closets, plus a place for
the children to play.”
The family is filled with
appreciation and is very
thankful, not only for Habitat
for Humanity in McLeod
County, but to the hundreds
of volunteers who have
helped build their home and
the generous support from
everyone in this community.
Crow River Habitat plans
to build a 25th home in 2017.

tax alone could be around
$5,000. The licensing fees
were unknown.
Mayor Randy Wilson noted
that with the low interest rate,
he would recommend paying
over the five years to leave
cash available for other projects.
Council Member Dan Perschau said the matter was discussed at length at the finance
committee meeting with no
issues in the five year payment plan.
Robeck voted against the
purchase.
• Approved a recommendation by the finance committee
to transfer $10,000 annually
from the profits of the Oak
Leaf Park campground to the
Parks Improvement Fund
(PIF).
Money from the PIF was
used for the initial costs of
the campground.
• Voted to approve a recommendation to replace the
roof at the joint maintenance
facility building. The city
shares the facility with the
Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT).
The roof sustained significant hail damage earlier in
the year. The council approved a recommendation to
replace the existing asphalt
roof with a standing seam
metal roof pending MnDOT
approval. The metal roof
would be an additional
$20,000, which would be
split with MnDOT.
• Approved the third and
final reading of Ordinance
596 in regards to the mayor
and council salaries.
• Set a canvassing board
meeting for Tuesday, Nov.
15, at 4 p.m., to canvass the
Nov. 8 election results.
• Closed the meeting to discuss police union negotiations. Robeck voted against
closing the meeting.

• Install proper electricity
to the building and take necessary steps to connect a
water supply to the property.
• Repair all areas where
there is water intrusion.
• Repair all structural defects of the building and its
components.
• Repair all roof leaks and
sagging of the roof.
• Repair all roof joints.
• Replace the wood floor
system that is covered with
moisture and has been exposed to the water for a significant period of time.
• Repair structural integrity
and threat of collapse to
avoid damage or collapse
onto the neighboring buildings.
After the 30-day period,
the city has the right to repair
the hazardous conditions or
tear down the building.
Larson reported that the
county auditor’s office has indicated that the county has no
interest in the property and
will turn it over to the city
once forfeited.
In other business, the
Council:
• Approved the purchase of
a 2017 Ford F550 Supercab
with plow, box and hoist
from Nelson Auto Center of
Fergus Falls for approximately $65,710 before tax and licensing.
The purchase will be made
with a five-year municipal
lease/purchase agreement
with annual payment of
around $15,225, including
tax and licensing, at an interest rate of around 2 percent.
The city would have the option to purchase the vehicle at
little cost at the end of the
five-year term.
Council Member Alan
Robeck asked if it was possible to pay for the vehicle in
full to save around $10,000.
After a quick calculation,
Council Member John
Schrupp noted that the

The Glencoe City Council
voted to move forward on filing an order for repair for
1128 Hennepin Ave.
The building, formerly the
General Store and a number
of Mexican restaurants, has
been vacant for more than
five years and is scheduled to
be forfeited to the county for
back taxes in 2017.
The owners listed on the
order are Fernando Cruz, address unknown, and Security
Bank and Trust of Glencoe.
The order states the city
finds the building to be hazardous because there is:
• No electricity or running
water to the building.
• Water intrusion.
• The structure of the building and its components are
failing.
• The roof is leaking, sagging, and unlikely to handle a
snow load.
• Structural failure of roof
joints.
• Thirty percent of the floor
system is covered with moisture and has been exposed to
water for a significant
amount of time.
• Due to the roof’s condition, the building may lack
structural integrity and there
is a threat to collapse onto the
neighboring buildings.
The property has been inspected by Paumen and Associates, a structural engineering firm from Glencoe, and
Glencoe Fire Marshal Bob
Scheidt.
City Administrator Mark
Larson reported that there has
been concern that the building was attached to the adjacent building, but further inspections have indicated that
there is a very little space between the two buildings with
only the front facade attached.
The order gives the listed
property owners 30 days to
make the following repairs:

The McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, November 9, 2016, page 4
Nov. 8: The end of
nation’s oddest election
Our view: Plenty on the ballot
besides the presidential candidates
I
t’s been good news, bad
news for those who qualify
for Social Security benefits.
The good news: recipients received an increase in their benefit. The bad news: the average
raise amounts to $5 per month.
A $5 per month increase is almost an insult to those who have
paid into the system and worked
hard all their lives and expect to
reap the benefits of their endeavors. It’s like tipping a waitress a
nickel for two hours of excellent
service in a busy restaurant.
People in this country are in a
near-panic over Social Security.
With an ever-increasing elderly
population, full retirement benefits have already been pushed
well past the former age of 65.
And many of us worry that we
will never see a dime of what we
paid into Social Security when
we finally reach retirement age.
Experts are blaming the stingy
raise on the consumer price
index. Social Security benefits
are based on a formula that includes, in part, the consumer
price index. Recently, the index
had been kept down by lower
gasoline prices. While lower gas
prices help those of us who regu-
larly commute to work, school
and activities, they don’t do
much for those who don’t work,
rarely leave home and who may
not drive at all.
There are those who think the
formula needs to be fixed. That’s
all well and good, but that’s only
a small bandage on a large
wound.
Congress has been kicking the
problems of Social Security and
an aging population (which
brings with it increased healthcare costs) down the road long
enough.
Whoever is in power when we
wake up today, the morning after
the election, needs to have two
primary goals in mind as the new
administration and Congress
goes to work: reform of health
care, and reform of the Social Security system.
So many other issues will
begin to fix themselves once
those two huge matters are resolved.
Let’s encourage everyone,
from the president on down, to
roll up their sleeves and get to
work on these issues.

Letter to the Editor
Lunch issues on GSL board agenda
To the Editor:
It appears that there are concerns
and/or issues with the lunch program/process at the various schools
within the Glencoe-Silver Lake
School District, including, but not
limited to, there not being enough
time given to the students to sufficiently eat a healthy, nutritious meal.
Unfortunately, many parents may not
actually be aware of the whole
process that the kids must go through
before they are able to sit down and
begin eating.
This issue has been brought to the
attention of various members of
school administration, as well as the
school board, and we have finally
gained approval to bring this issue
up at the next school board meeting
on Monday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m., at the
Lincoln Meeting Room (Room 124),
1621 E. 16th St., Glencoe.
The reason for this letter is to aid
in getting this information out to the
general public so that they may join
in the School Board meeting in order
to gain more information, as well as
show their support in working with
all individuals to come up with the
best solution for all involved.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Rejoice, Christmas has come
early to the citizens of Glencoe. We
have a new street in town just in
time for Heat in the Street … 2017.
The new block of Judd Avenue
connecting busy 10th Street with the
not-as-busy 11th Street now has its
first layer of blacktop as of last
week. And it only took an additional
three months to complete.
The McLeod County Board and
its top officials should be commended for their “swift” action. If only all
government responded as quickly.
Oh, that’s right, government does
act about as swiftly. Never mind to
that commendation.
It was a tough race to see whether
the one new block of Judd Avenue
would be completed before the
snow flies. Since its original completion date flew past months ago, it
was a good bet the street would remain in disarray throughout the winter.
Plan B may have been to use the
bare street as a one-block cross
country ski trail or have it flooded
and used as another outdoor skating
rink. We still have a mound of dirt
on site to use as a sledding hill if the
Rich Glennie
county ever cuts down the tall
weeds and small trees growing on it.
So with Judd Avenue complete,
Glencoe can now claim a city
“street-to-nowhere” to match our
“trail-to-nowhere.” Aren’t we
lucky?
That goes hand-in-hand with
Glencoe’s theme of being the “stop
sign capitol of the state.” Ever notice that stop signs have a habit of
popping up where least expected?
Now after years of being a
straight shot on 11th Street from
Pryor Avenue east to Union Avenue,
we now have a stop sign on that
stretch at Stevens Avenue. Didn’t
even know there was a Stevens Av-
enue? Or Queen Avenue for that
matter?
Haven’t noticed the new stop
signs? Well, you probably blew
through them like so many of us.
Apparently it just showed up without warning.
Why that three-way intersection
needed a two-way stop sign designation is known only to the local
stop sign gods. There did not seem
to be that much traffic congestion
along that stretch of 11th Street, and
it seemed to be one of the few remaining stretches without a stop
sign every other block.
One aim of the stop signs is to
channel motorists to other streets
with less signage. But at this rate,
there will be no other streets with
less signage.
So those traveling the streets of
Glencoe, add a few more minutes to
your commute through town, unless,
of course, you are taking the new
“street-to-nowhere.” No stop signs
on that one … yet.

Agriculture, horticulture resources
Have a question and need
help finding the answer for
farm and garden related topics? Look no further and contact the McLeod County or
Meeker County Extension office!
Extension is designed as
the outreach arm of the University of Minnesota to provide a broad range of education and informational resources to the public. University of Minnesota Extension
works to provide the research-based information to
help solve the critical issues
of the farm and garden. This
education is provided through
many different outlets. A few
of the outlets for education
include news releases, publications, radio interviews,
email, social media, technical
service, and educational programs.
Often during the months of
November through March,
Extension offers a number of
different types of workshops
being hosted. Land rental
meetings, private pesticide
applicator training, horticulture day and winter crops
days are most common in our
area. In utilizing this timeframe, we utilize the slower
time of the year to showcase
research and education resources to aid in farm and
garden decision making.
Through the local Extension
offices, we encourage the
public to share topic ideas
and insight on how to improve Extension workshops
and resources provided. Feel
free to share your thoughts
with me at either the McLeod
County or Meeker County

Extension office.
Another 24-7 resource
available is the University of
Minnesota Extension website. Simply type www.exten
sion.umn.edu into your
browser to access unlimited
informational resources at
your fingertips. There are a
number of different icons
across the top of the Extension web page to help guide
you toward the information
you may be looking for. Outside of agriculture and the
well-known 4-H youth development program, there are
several other areas such as
community, environment,
family, food and gardening
that showcase resources on
the Extension website.
The last way to access resources is by visiting your
county Extension Services

Brownton Council bumps up sanitary sewer rate
Weather Corner
By Jake Yurek
Our weather winning streak will continue this week as
high pressure continues to dominate the upper Midwest.
The only chance we had of seeing even a sprinkle of
rain should have been Monday, so if you didn’t see anything, odds are you won’t this week. Temperatures won’t
be as high as we saw over the weekend, but still well
above average. The average high for this time of year
should be around 42-45 degrees, but we’ll be in the 50s
to lower 60s for most of the forecast period.
A quick-moving cold front will pass through Friday,
knocking highs into the 40s to 50 but that’s about it.
Lows will hang in the 30s to lower 40s.
The extended for next week doesn’t show much
change except for a slight temperature drop-off closer to
average.
Have a great week, everyone; continued luck to all the
hunters out there; be safe! Happy Veterans Day as well;
thank you for all your service!
Ma dobry weekendem

The Brownton City Council
approved a $1 increase per
1,000 gallons for its sewer
utility at its Tuesday, Nov. 1,
meeting.
The new usage rate will be
$9 per 1,000 gallons, up from
the previous rate of $8 per
1,000 gallons.
City Clerk Ella Kruse said
that had not it been for some
unexpected repair bills —
$21,000 worth — the sanitary
sewer fund would have
shown a net profit of $9,600
in 2016.
The water fund, in comparison, showed a gain of
$55,900 so far in 2016.
The profits in those funds
are set aside for future improvements to the sanitary
and water systems.
Kruse said the water rates
could probably stay the same,
but the sewer fund should
have an increase. An additional $1 per 1,000 gallons
will provide an additional
$12,780 annually for the
fund.
Mayor Norm Schwarze
said he prefers a rate increase
based on usage rather than a
bump in the base rate.
“If we raise the base rate,
they (residents) have no control over that,” said
Schwarze. “But if we raise
the price per gallon, they can
have some control over that.”
Schwarze said people could
reduce their usage to help cut
their costs.
The City Council voted to
institute the rate increase.
The Council also discussed
raising its natural gas rates.
While the city-owned utility
turned a profit in 2014 and
2015, a loss is expected for
2016 because of a mild winter
in 2014-15, and because the
grain elevator in town will
not be used as much for drying corn.
The City Council decided
to do more research on the
rates and consider the issue
again in December.
In other business, the City
Council:
• Heard that a home on
First Avenue S, which has
been a blight issue, had been
deemed uninhabitable.
Police Chief Ken Bauer
said the home was inspected
by the building inspector, fire
department and police depart-
ment.
The family has been asked
to vacate the premises until a
list of improvements has been
completed. If the improvements are not done, the city
may acquire the home.
The City Council approved
the proposed work order for
improvements. Bauer said the
order would be served
through the city attorney, and
the homeowners have 10 days
to respond as to whether they
intend to comply with the
order or not.
• Set a public meeting for
Tuesday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m.,
to introduce its proposed
street and utility project to the
public.
• Set the annual election

Weather Quiz: Will it ever get cold enough to start
making ice?
Answer to last week’s question (Forecasters are saying
colder and more snowy this winter. Do they have it
wrong considering our current and near future weather
being so far above average?): At this stage, it looks like a
warmer than average winter is setting up, but a lot can
change once we head into December and January. After
our extremely wet summer, the pattern has also shifted to
a dry one. I lean towards saying less than average snow
as well, just because these wet/dry patterns comes in
spurts.
Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!
