Sonju receives favorable evaluation
By Rebecca Mariscal
Staff Writer
The Glencoe-Silver Lake School
Board heard a report on the formal
evaluation of Superintendent Chris
Sonju at the regular meeting Monday night. Personnel Committee Directors and Board Members Shannon Twiss and Clark Christianson
presented the report.
Twiss said Sonju had good overall job performance and the committee was pleased with the
progress he has made in the goals
set for the district.
She said the committee felt Sonju
made substantial gains in a successful building referendum, maintaining the financial status of the district and focusing on a student-centered culture. They also said he did
a good job in connecting the school
and community.
In other business, the School
Board:
• Heard a summary of the 2015
legislative special session on the E12 Omnibus Education Bill from
Business Manager Michelle Sander.
Updates include additional funding for early learning program, increase to education revenue, repeal
Chris Sonju
of required national college entrance exam for high school students and creation of a long-term
facilities maintenance revenue.
• Accepted a bid from McLeod
Publishing to be the official newspaper of the district from July 1,
2015 through June 30, 2016.
• Approved the call for fuel bids
for the 2015-2016 school year as
recommended by Sander. A notice
will be placed in the newspaper and
letters sent out as well.
• Approved the addition of a
half-time math interventionist position at Lakeside. The position will
be combined with a half-time elementary technology teacher position to create a full-time position.

move toward the STEM (Science,
technology, engineering and mathematics) model.

School Board
awards bid
on bond sale
By Rebecca Mariscal
Staff Writer
The Glencoe-Silver Lake School
Board resolved to accept a bid for
the bonds put up for sale last
month. The board awarded the sale
to Piper Jaffray and Co. of Minneapolis.
Ehlers Financial Specialist Betsy
Knoche presented the five bids
from the July 13 sale at the regular
board meeting Monday night. Piper
Jaffray’s price is $24,303,591.50,
higher than the projected premium
price.
All revenue from the bonds will
be used to pay for the upcoming
school building project that will
begin in spring of 2016. The higher
premium price means more funds
for the construction project, a total
of $23,683,938.83.
The proposed interest rate from
Piper Jaffray is 3.7568 percent,
lower than the projected interest
rate of 4.17 percent.
The higher price and lower interest will result in a smaller tax impact on the community. The tax rate
for the first year will now be 9.82
percent compared to the estimated
10.38 percent.
The sale will be closed on Aug.
13 and that is when the district will
receive the proceeds.
After the sale was awarded, Business Manager Michelle Sander discussed the investment of the bond
proceeds. She recommended a proposal from PFM Asset Management
LLC. The board will review.
Moving forward, the design team
for the construction project will
meet on Wednesday. The next step
is to select a construction manager
who will oversee all work on the
project.
Security Bank, Hoese

for GRHS remodeling

Music in the Park
Glencoe held its first Music
in the Park event of the summer on Wednesday, July 8.
Bluegrass band Carver
Creek, pictured above,
kicked off the summer series. At left, band member
Tom strums the musical saw,
one of the many instruments
he played throughout the
night. About 90 people attended the event. The Glencoe Lions Club provided dinner, and held a raffle with
prizes including gift certificates, coupons, sample
packs, zoo passes and more
from several sponsors.
Tonight’s concert will include
Jim and Mike Wendolek.
Food is available from 6 p.m.
to 7 p.m., and the music
starts at 6:30 p.m., all at Oak
Leaf Park.
Glencoe Regional Health Services (GRHS) has accepted a $311,000
gift from Security Bank & Trust
Co. and the Hoese Family to support a remodeling project in its hospital transitional care unit. The project includes a new patient and family lounge as well as treatment and
equipment rooms for respiratory
therapy services.
“High quality health care is a critical asset to any community. Security Bank & Trust Co. is pleased that
our donation will help Glencoe Regional Health Services provide excellent care and a comfortable environment to patients who might otherwise have to recover from a serious injury or illness far from
home,” said Gale Hoese, president
of Security Bank & Trust Co.
Transitional care provides a step
between an acute care hospital stay
and home for patients who need
complex medical care to recover
from surgery, stroke, severe infection or trauma. At GRHS, transitional care patients receive up to
three hours a day of rehabilitation
care that may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, or
speech-language therapy. Many
also require tube feeding, IV medications or specialized care for
wounds. Some patients require respiratory therapy care for a tra-
cheostomy or weaning from an assistive device such as a ventilator.
GRHS’ transitional care program
is based on a highly successful
model developed for 11 rural hospitals in the Mayo Clinic Health System. Since the program began in
May 2014, 80 percent of patients
cared for in the GRHS transitional
care unit have been able to return to
independent living after discharge.
When surveyed, these patients gave
GRHS an average of 4.75 out of 5
stars for providing excellent care.
“The length of stay for patients in
transitional care can range from
several days to more than three
months. That’s a long time to spend
in the hospital. They need a comfortable space to relax and pursue
leisure activities while they recover,
as well as a place to visit with their
friends and family members,” explained GRHS Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jon Braband. “Building
a patient and family lounge with the
help of Security Bank and Trust Co.
will help GRHS better meet the
unique needs of longer-stay patients.”
The new lounge will feature comfortable seating in several groupings, a kitchenette and dining ta-

a $1,798,903 Department of
Transportation grant to make
important infrastructure improvements.
“As a pilot, I understand
firsthand the significant infrastructure improvements made
possible by this grant,” Peterson said. “Keeping our rural

condition is important to
meeting the area’s air transportation needs and will
greatly benefit the local economy.”
The grant will fund the
construction of a 3,300 foot
parallel taxiway to eliminate
the need for aircraft to backtaxi on Runway 13/31; the
full rehabilitation of 6,030
square yards of the existing
apron pavement that has
reached the end of its useful
life; and the acquisition of
half an acre of land for development to allow the airport to
control compatible land use
and to protect the airport
from objects that would penetrate aeronautical surfaces.

vary depending on the current
season and what crop is ready
for harvest on the farm.
Other ways to purchase locally grown foods are to visit
farmers markets. Many communities have established
markets that convene weekly,
if not more frequently. If you
have never attended a farmers
market make note of when
and where they take place
and simply stop by to visit
with the growers and determine what produce, eggs,
meat, or other foods they currently have available or will
soon have available.
If stopping into a farmers
market or joining a CSA does
not interest you, there are still
other ways to purchase locally grown food. Roadside
stands have been a thing of
the countryside for decades.
Finally, a simple way is to
look at your local grocery
store. Look for signs or stickers indicating “Minnesota
Grown” or locally grown.
To find local growers visit
the Minnesota Grown website www.minnesotagrown.
com, visit your local farmers
markets, or roadside stands.

July brings us the beginning of Minnesota’s home
food preservation season.
Preserving food at home by
either canning, freezing,
pickling or drying is both an
art and, more importantly, a
science. Be sure to use up-todate credible resources and
utilize research-based preservation methods.
Whether you’re making
your first batch of salsa or
you’ve been pressure canning
green beans for years, you
may have questions. Where
to go for answers? Speak directly with a preservation expert at University of Minnesota’s AnswerLine, tollfree at 800-854-1678, Monday through Friday from 9
a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
To preserve safe high-quality fruits and vegetables this
summer, look for reliable information from these resources:

The Harry and Kellie Sloot
family has been chosen as the
2015 Sibley County Farm
Family of the Year.
The Sloots are from
Winthrop and have three children, Mollie, Heidie and Cassidy. Their farm has been in
the family since 1968, when
Harry’s parents, John and
Minnie, purchased 240 acres
on which the home site is
now located. The farm has
since grown to now include
385 total acres and has always been a livestock operation. The farrow-to-finish hog
operation has undergone numerous periods of change and
growth and now consists of
space to house 3,000 head of
hogs, wean to finish, which
come from a sow co-op near
Klossner. The Sloots purchased the farm from Harry
Sloot’s parents in 1994.
Kellie Sloot also shares her
time as Winthrop Chamber of
Commerce board member,
Winthrop Queen Program coordinator, Winthrop Area
Foundation board member
and St. Francis Church youth
education coordinator. Harry
Sloot shares his time on the
St. Francis church council,
Winthrop Area Foundation,
Sibley County Fair Board,
FFA Alumni Association and
Cornish Township officer.
At the local level, the Sloot
family will be honored during
the Sibley County Fair on
Friday, July 31, at 1 p.m. The

Over the past few years,
there has been a steady incline of interest in purchasing
and consuming foods that
were grown locally. Individuals may choose to purchase
locally grown food for many
reasons, including wanting
the freshest or best tasting
food, nearly eliminating time
and travel from farm to fork,
and supporting the local
economy.
A popular way for individuals to get fresh produce,
meat, or other food from
local farmers is through a
CSA. A CSA is Community
Supported Agriculture; the
USDA defines CSA as a
“community of individuals
who pledge support to a farm
operation so that the farmland
becomes, either legally or
spiritually, the community’s
farm, with the growers and
consumers providing mutual
support and sharing the risks
and benefits of food production.”
CSAs have steadily been
growing in popularity in the
United States since the mid1980s. CSAs originated in
Switzerland and Japan in the
1960s. Today, Minnesota
Grown Directory currently
lists 93 CSAs across the state.
How does a CSA work?
The farmer will pre-sell set
shares for the upcoming
growing season to interested
parties. Typically, the growing season in Minnesota will
be June through October;
however, some farmers will
extend seasons with the use
of high tunnels. Members
who bought shares will receive weekly, bi-weekly, or
monthly delivery of seasonal
mixed produce. Produce will

The McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, July 15, 2015, page 4
‘Affirmative consent’
is still in a gray area
Our view: Enforcement of
new standard will be difficult
T
he University of Minnesota should be applauded for trying to
be more proactive in preventing campus sexual assaults.
Statistics say one in five
women on college campuses
are the victim of some form of
sexual assault. Any effort to
reduce that statistic is welcome.
The University of Minnesota
recently proposed an “affirmative consent” policy — in effect, each partner in a potential sexual encounter must
provide a verbal “yes” or
some other clear symbol before engaging in a sexual act.
That type of policy would,
hopefully, encourage students
to thoughtfully consider what
they are about to do. However,
that is often not the case. Immaturity, often coupled with
alcohol or other factors, lead
to less-than-desirable behavior.
And the reality is that any
sexual impropriety between
two people will be judged on a
“he-said, she-said” basis, unless there were witnesses to
testify otherwise. It all comes
down to burden of proof: did
he or she say yes or no? Either
party can allege that there was
“affirmative consent” or that
there was not.
Within the past couple of
years, California and New
York have approved such policies for colleges. Antioch College adopted the standard
more than 20 years ago.
It would be interesting to see
if there has been a reduction in
sexual assaults at the colleges
and universities that have
adopted the policy and standard.
We do encourage any type
of policy or statement that encourages college students to
think twice before engaging in
any type of harmful behavior
— sexual or otherwise.
However, we do feel the “affirmative consent” policy will
be difficult to enforce, and
that the University of Minnesota was wise to step back
and reconsider the policy and
its potential impact on both
the victim and the accused.
And, hopefully, the discussion
will give rise to other options
for reducing the incidence of
sexual assault on campuses.

Letter to the Editor
What ideals does the Confederate flag represent?
To the Editor:
I lived in the Richmond, Virginia,
area off and on for over 20 years beginning in 1965, so I have been following the Confederate battle flag
controversy with a great deal of interest.
A flag — any flag — is representative of the ideals of those who created and flew it.
So what did this flag represent?
According to many, banishing the
flag to museums is an affront to the
heritage and honor of those who
fought bravely for what they believed in, creating a revisionist version of history. Secession was purely
a matter of “States Rights” and that
slavery had little, if anything, to do
with it.
The declarations of secession
from the various states are quite specific about their reasons for secession and go into great detail. However, there is one overriding theme:
From the opening of Confederate
States of America - Mississippi Secession: A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union.
“Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery —
the greatest material interest of the
world. Its labor supplies the product
which constitutes by far the largest
and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products
are peculiar to the climate verging
on the tropical regions, and by an
imperious law of nature, none but
the black race can bear exposure to
the tropical sun. These products
have become necessities of the
world, and a blow at slavery is a
blow at commerce and civilization.”
From Confederate States of America - Georgia Secession:
“The Presidential election of 1852
resulted in the total overthrow of the
advocates of restriction and their
party friends. Immediately after this
result the anti-slavery portion of the
defeated party resolved to unite all
the elements in the North opposed to
slavery and to stake their future political fortunes upon their hostility to
slavery everywhere. This is the party
to whom the people of the North
have committed the Government.
They raised their standard in 1856
and were barely defeated. They entered the Presidential contest again
in 1860 and succeeded.
The prohibition of slavery in the
Territories, hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and
white races, disregard of all constitu-

tional guarantees it its favor, were
boldly proclaimed by its leaders and
applauded by its followers.
With these principles on their banners and these utterances on their
lips the majority of the people of the
North demand that we shall receive
them as our rulers.
The prohibition of slavery in the
Territories is the cardinal principle
of this organization. ”
From Confederate States of America - A Declaration of the Causes
which Impel the State of Texas to
Secede from the Federal Union:
“... She (Texas) was received into
the confederacy with her own constitution, under the guarantee of the
federal constitution and the compact
of annexation, that she should enjoy
these blessings. She was received as
a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution
known as negro slavery — the servitude of the African to the white race
within her limits — a relation that
had existed from the first settlement
of her wilderness by the white race,
and which her people intended
should exist in all future time...
… We hold as undeniable truths
that the governments of the various
States, and of the confederacy itself,
were established exclusively by the
white race, for themselves and their
posterity; that the African race had
no agency in their establishment;
that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent
race, and in that condition only
could their existence in this country
be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
That in this free government all
white men are and of right ought to
be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the
African race, as existing in these
States, is mutually beneficial to both
bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed
will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations;
while the destruction of the existing
relations between the two races, as
advocated by our sectional enemies,
would bring inevitable calamities
upon both and desolation upon the
fifteen slave-holding states.”
The South Carolina declaration
has so many references to slavery it
is impossible to quote any of them
and maintain continuity, but is available at http://avalon.law.yale.
edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp.
Florida merely declared their secession, and did not give reasons.
Alabama also did not give reasons

and of the Confederate States of
America Barret, Wimbish & Co.,
1861, pp 3-5.
From a transcription of the “Cornerstone” speech of Confederate
Vice President Alexander Stephens
March 21, 1861:
“...Those ideas, however, were
fundamentally wrong. They rested
upon the assumption of the equality
of races. This was an error. It was a
sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the
‘storm came and the wind blew.’
Our new government is founded
upon exactly the opposite idea; its
foundations are laid, its cornerstone
rests upon the great truth, that the
negro is not equal to the white man;
that slavery — subordination to the
superior race — is his natural and
normal condition. [Applause.] This,
our new government, is the first, in
the history of the world, based upon
this great physical, philosophical,
and moral truth.”
These are the ideals the Confederate battle flag of Northern Virginia
represented at the time of its creation. These are the ideals that the
opposition to the Civil Rights Act
were built on. These are the ideals
that miscegenation laws were built
on. These are the ideals that prompted the state of Virginia to pass laws
that denied thousands of black children an education by not funding
schools during the “Massive Resistance.”
This flag was used as a symbol for
all those things and many more.
Does this flag represent our ideals
as a nation? If not, then it cannot be
flown on any government property,
because that would lend credence to
those ideals.
Put it in a museum.
Should individuals be allowed to
fly the flag? Sure, but that flag will
come to represent your ideals. It’s
not just a pretty piece of cloth.
Virginians take a great deal of
pride in their ancestry. Many can
trace their roots to Jamestown or beyond. However, most African Americans of Virginia descent can go
back no further than 1863. Many
didn’t have last names. Before that,
they were property, not people.
That is the heritage that flag represents to them.

Construction is underway on
the 4,800-square-foot addition to
Tracing Roots
By Ron Pulkrabek
1950 headline: ‘Laura is Freed’
“Laura is freed” states the
headline in large 2-inch high
letters in the local paper on
March 3, 1950.
It is the question that has
been in thousands of minds
during the last five weeks
during the trial in the
McLeod County Courthouse
in Glencoe. Laura Miller, age
23, was accused of shooting
Hutchinson attorney Gordon
Jones through the heart on
Jan. 30, 1950.
The courtroom, stairways
and halls have been filled for
five weeks as people waited
patiently and listened to the
proceedings. The Courthouse
and the Oriel Theater were
wired with speakers so the
overflowing crowd could listen to the proceedings. Newspapers allowed more space
for coverage and thousands
of extra copies were sold.
On Jan. 30, 1950, shortly
after 11 a.m., Laura Miller, a
Minneapolis resident, came
running into the L and S
Restaurant in Hutchinson,
screaming, “Help me! Help
me!” A few people quickly
followed her back to the
Felepe Building to find Jones
slumped over his desk with a
.38-caliber revolver lying
next to him.
In a preliminary hearing, a
judge ruled there was “probable cause” that Miller was
guilty of murder and bound
the case over to a grand jury,
which returned an indictment
of murder in the first degree.
A 12-person jury was selected and the five-week trial
began with defense and prosecution attorneys taking their
turns. On the last day, Miller
took the stand and testified in
her own defense.
While on the stand, Miller
told how she met Jones, who
was married and had two
children and had been seeing
him on a regular basis for two
years. Now she was three
months pregnant with his
child. They argued about her
taking some pills to force a
miscarriage, which Miller refused to do. After thinking
about it for a few weeks she
became disillusioned and
thought about committing
suicide. Miller said she took
the revolver to Jones’ office
on Jan. 30, threatening to
shoot herself if he didn’t do
something to solve the situation. During three hours on
the stand Miller testified she
entered Jones’ office, his
back was turned in his chair.
She said, “Gordon.” He
turned around. “I pulled the
revolver out of my pocket
and pointed it at my stomach.
He jumped up and grabbed
my hand. I didn’t hear the
gun go off; but it did. I re-
member the smoke and that
my hand was up in the air
and I don’t remember what
exactly happened next. After
Jones fell to the floor I ran to
the L and S Restaurant to get
help.”
The trial came to a dramatic end when a few minutes
later Judge Moriarty dismissed the charge of first-degree murder just as the jury
was going to begin deliberations. He stated, “Guilt was
not established by the defense
beyond a reasonable doubt,
nor was there any proof of
it.” He stated the death was
caused by an accident during
a scuffle.
Miller signed an “all or
nothing, first-degree murder
only or complete freedom”
election clause with the final
outcome set for March 3.
Due to complicated laws,
rules and regulations, Judge
Moriarty was obligated to set
Miller completely free on
March 3, 1950. Miller was
greeted by loud applause as
she left the courtroom. Some
people shoved bills of various
denominations in her hand to
help cover her expenses. She
told reporters she had wanted
to tell her story from the beginning so badly, but had to
wait five weeks to do it.

Canvas quonset-type storage tents will only be able to
be used temporarily in
Brownton following an
amendment to the city’s planning and zoning ordinance.
The Brownton City Council, at its July 7 meeting, accepted a recommendation
from its planning and zoning
commissions that the canvas
sheds can only be used for
storage for a maximum of
one year. Existing tents must
be removed within a year of
adoption of the amendment
to the ordinance.
The vote to amend the ordinance was preceded with
considerable discussion.
Council Member Tim
Olson said he didn’t like the
storage tents at all, and suggested they be banned entirely. However, members of the
planning commission had felt
that they could be used on a
temporary basis, such as during remodeling projects or
while a permanent shed or
garage was being construct-

ed.
Council Member Curt Carrigan said the city will have a
difficult time getting residents to remove existing canvas sheds.
“They aren’t going to do
it,” said Carrigan.
Carrigan also noted that
while the sheds aren’t the
most visually appealing, they
do provide a way to keep
things out of sight that would
otherwise clutter yards.
Under the adopted amendment, residents will need to
obtain a $20 permit in order
to erect a canvas storage unit,
and may use it for one year
after the date the permit was
issued. Then it must be removed.
The planning commission
also recommended that the
canvas sheds be anchored,
after hearing that some sheds
had been taken by the wind.
Any canvas sheds that become tattered or unsightly
will be subject to the blight
ordinance, the Council decided.

change the setback for a

subcontractor apparently had
repaired a strip of blacktop up
the middle of the street.
Kehren said the repair should
have extended curb to curb.
“The city is at the point
that we’ll get someone else to
do the work,” said Peirce. He
asked Kehren to contact the
general contractor, Holtmeier,
and see if the city and the
contractor could reach an
agreement on getting the
street properly repaired. If
not, Peirce indicated, the city
will find its own contractor
and have the work done at
Holtmeier’s expense.
In other street business, the
City Council agreed to sit
down with representatives
from Form-A-Feed and
McLeod County to discuss
the possibility of building a
service road from County
Road 7 to the Form-A-Feed
plant on the northwest edge
of town to divert truck traffic
away the city. The proposed
service road would run parallel to the city of Stewart’s
North Street.
Kehren said the city also
will need to factor in the fact
that Form-A-Feed has a facility on Hall Street near the former school, which also has
truck traffic.

asked Peirce.
Another option, Kehren indicated, would be to scale
back the proposed project to
just include the surface work,
but the City Council indicated it would prefer to try for
grant and low-interest funding so that it could also make
sub-surface utility improvements.
Kehren said that along with
applying for PFA funding, the
city could try again for a
Local Road Improvement
Project (LRIP) grant, which it
also has received for past
projects.
The City Council voted to
reject all bids and to pursue
an extended project for next
year with applications for
grant funding.
“We’ll thank the bidders
and tell them we’re not going
to award the work this year,”
said Kehren.
In related business, the
City Council also took up the
issue of what it felt was shoddy work on a previous project.

The Stewart City Council
rejected all bids for a street
and utility project at its Monday night meeting.
The City Council had proposed improvements for
Croyden Street between
Mowbray Street and the
cemetery, Mowbray Street
between Hall Street and Main
Street, East Street from Main
Street to Martha Street, and
Powers Street from Prior
Street to Mowbray Street.
The total estimated cost of
the improvements was
$674,940. However, engineer
Andy Kehren of Bolton &
Menk told the City Council,
the lowest bid came in at
least 10 percent above the estimated cost.
“With oil prices down, we
thought they (the bids) would
be equitable or less than last
year’s project,” said Kehren.
However, bituminous costs
were more than expected, he
added.
The question now, said
Mayor Jason Peirce, was
whether the city wanted to
continue with the proposed
project, or go with a larger,
extended project and hope to
qualify for financing from the
Public Facilities Authority
(PFA), which in the past has
provided the city with grant
and low-interest loan funding.

Frances Krumrey, 98, of Buffalo Lake
Frances Krumrey, 98, of
Buffalo Lake, died July 9,
2015, at the Buffalo Lake
Healthcare Center.
The funeral service
was
Tu e s d a y,
July 14, at
Zion Evangelical
Lutheran
Church in
Buffalo
Lake with Frances
the
Rev. Krumrey
Rita Augsburger officiating. Dianne
Runke was the organist.
Honorary casket bearers
were her granddaughters,
Kristine Zeppelin, Nancy
Morris and Hannah Julson.
Casket bearers were her
grandchildren, Teri Heltne,
Tanya Julson, Nathan
Koskovich, Patrick Krumrey
and Adam Koskovich, and
great-grandchild, Taylor
Heltne. Interment was in the
church cemetery.
Frances Minnie Hoecke
Krumrey was born to Carl
and Dorathea (Menk) Hoecke
on Aug. 14, 1916, in Brookfield Township, Renville
County. She was the ninth of
11 children, all of whom preceded her in death. She was
baptized Sept. 24, 1916, by
the Rev. L. Kettner in Brookfield Township. Her sponsors
were Minnie Hoecke Klenzman and Paul Wehking. She
was confirmed by the Rev.
William F. Tinge on March
29, 1931.
On April 5, 1940, she married Myron August Krumrey
at Peace Lutheran Church in
Cosmos, with the Rev. J.
Kaiser officiating. Witnesses
were Vera Hoecke, Arvid
Krumrey, Irma Haas, Reuben
Hoecke, Enola Petersen and
George Petersen. In 2005,
they celebrated their 65th anniversary. They were married
67 years at the time of Mr.
Krumrey’s death in 2007.
As a child, she grew up
sharing the chores on the
family farm and going to a
one-room country school
with her siblings. She loved
to read and she loved school
so much that she chose to go
through eighth grade twice,
since high school away from
home was not an option.
When she finished school,
she went to work for a family
near Buffalo Lake. Her duties
were housekeeping and companionship for the lady of the
house. It was at this time that
she met and fell in love with
her future husband, Myron
Krumrey. They married and
started farming north of Buffalo Lake; the farm now occupied and farmed by their
grandson, Patrick Krumrey.
Together they raised four
children, Gordon, Janet,
Sharon and Alan. Mrs. Krumrey was a homemaker and
helped her husband with the
farm chores. She spent many
hours at the bedside of her
son, Alan, after his numerous
heart surgeries, and at the
bedside of her daughter,
Sharon, who was struggling
with cancer. She also gave of
her time and talents to help
with church events. She
taught Sunday school for 10
years, and was an excellent
role model for her children.
She loved a clean house, her
garden, sewing and embroidery work, and making orange rolls every Saturday for
Sunday morning breakfast.
Her faith and the love for her
family, for whom she prayed
daily, were her greatest
strengths.
In December 2006, the
Krumreys moved to a townhouse in Buffalo Lake, where
she lived until November
2014, doing light housework
and cooking for herself. After
several hospitalizations and
moving into assisted living,
her health declined and she
needed more care at the Buffalo Lake Healthcare Center.
Though she was unable to attend physically, she remained
a member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, and
stayed connected to the
church community through
cable TV.
She is survived by her son,
Gordon (Maureen) Krumrey
of Glencoe; daughter, Janet
(Merle) Bryan of Inver Grove
Heights; son-in-law, Robert
Koskovich, the late Shirley
Krumrey’s husband, and his
wife, Terri, of Atlanta, Ga.;
daughter-in-law, Janet Krumrey, the late Alan Krumrey’s
wife, and her son, Paul Tibbits; eight grandchildren; 15
great-grandchildren; sistersin-law, Wilna Ahlbrecht and
Phyllis Hoecke; other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death
by her parents, Carl and Dorathea Hoecke; husband,
Myron Krumrey; daughter,
Sharon Krumrey Koskovich;
son, Alan Krumrey; sisters,
Marinda Hertig, Ruby (who
died in childhood), Cora

Brownton City Council turns down
request to use center for worship
By Lori Copler
Editor
A motion to allow a group
of about 20 people to meet
for church services at the
Brownton Community Center
failed on a split vote at the
City Council’s July 7 meeting.
Barry Marchant, who resigned this spring as the pastor of the Congregational
Church in Brownton, approached the city about having services for a group of
people on Sunday mornings
at the Community Center.
Marchant said he has been
having in-home services with
the group the past couple of
months, but the group has
outgrown a home environment and is looking for other
quarters.
Marchant said the group
would like to use the Community Center each Sunday
from 9 a.m. up to 2 p.m., and
on occasional Wednesday
evenings. It also would need
a place to store audio-visual
equipment. Marchant said the
group is looking for more
“contemporary” worship with
the use of projectors, etc.
Council members expressed concerns about tying
up the community center
each Sunday, although
Marchant said the group
would make allowances if
others wanted to rent the facility.
Mayor Norm Schwarze
suggested that the group consider renting space in the
Brownton Area Civic Center
(the former school building)
in order to keep the Community Center free on Sundays.
Marchant said the gym space
would probably be too large,
and he wasn’t sure where else
the group could meet comfortably in the Civic Center.
“I guess I’m worried about
tying up the community center if people need to get in
there to decorate,” said
Schwarze. There also was
concern about getting the
community center cleaned
after Saturday activities in
time for Sunday morning
church services.
Council members also
asked Marchant if the group
could share space with another church.
Schwarze made a motion to
allow the group to use the
Community Center, but voted
against the motion when the
vote was called, as did Council members Tim Olson, Curt
Carrigan and Doug Block.
Council Member Brian Dressel voted in favor of the motion.
Olson echoed Schwarze’s
concerns about tying up the
Community Center every
Sunday.

Council:

Welcome Home
A MESSAGE OF COMFORT
Each of us is given
Precious time to spend on earth,
But we know the journey leads us
To a home of greater worth.
Sometimes the Father takes us
Down a path not for our choice,
But when it leads to heaven,
How our hearts and souls rejoice!
And earthly cares all vanish
When at last we hear God say,
“Welcome home, My precious child,
I led you all the way.”

Don’t give in to negativity?
Downtown Glencoe
Across from the Courthouse
Open 7 Days A Week
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7
T
here are many ways in which we can fall into negative patterns of thought or behavior. We all make mistakes, but when we do, we should try to look at them as learning opportunities. We all occasionally say or
do thoughtless things that hurt our friends or families, but when we do, we should consider it an opportunity to ask for forgiveness, and our relationship might be deepened thereby. We should all pay closer attention to what
we say and do throughout the day. How much of it is knee jerk negativity? And, not just what we say to others, but
how much of our internal dialogue is filled with negativity? How often do we berate ourselves for minor mistakes or
omissions? We should try to be more like the coach who builds up her athletes with a pep talk or the teacher who
convinces his students that they can work out a difficult problem. The important question for the track athlete is not
whether you won the race but whether you did your best. Studies show that there are very few times when negativity helps us; it is almost always better to be an optimist than a pessimist. So, do what you can to throw the negativity
overboard and to have a more positive attitude. Life is good and getting better, and even when it's not so good you
can still choose to make the best of it.
This weekly message is contributed by the following concerned citizens and businesses who
urge you to attend the church of your choice. To be added to this page, contact us at 320-864-5518.

Brownton Council worried
about finances of project
By Lori Copler
Editor
Although it’s very much in
the early stages, the impact of
the cost of a comprehensive
street and utility project has
Brownton City Council members worried.
John Rodeberg of Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH), the
city’s engineering firm, again
reviewed the preliminary engineering plan with the City
Council at its July 7 meeting.
The plan will be presented to
the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) in the
hopes of getting grant and
low-interest loan funding for
the project.
Rodeberg said about $7.6
million worth of work is
planned for 2016 and 2017.
Mayor Norman Schwarze
noted that according to the
preliminary plan, some resident’s utility bills could increase by as much as a
$1,000 a year.
“And that doesn’t include
tax increases or assessments,”
said Schwarze.
Rodeberg said that he, too,
is concerned about the potential impact, and that the City
Council will have to prioritize which portions of the
project should be done.
Rodeberg said the city may
have to set a cap on what it
can afford “and work backward from there and see what
fits into that budget — just do
what you really have to.”
Rodeberg also noted that
unlike its counterparts with
larger populations, the city of
Brownton does not qualify
for municipal state aid for
roads.
He encouraged the City
Council to “talk to your local
legislators and see if there is
any potential bonding” funding for smaller communities.
Rodeberg said that SEH
will be working in the near
future with David Drown Associates, the city’s financial
consultants, and should soon
have a better idea of what the
impact of the project will be
in terms of assessments and
property tax increases.
The City Council will have
better information then to decide on how much work the
city can afford, Rodeberg
said.
Sheila Franchuk of Plato
participated in graduation ceremonies for Normandale
Community College at Grace
Church in Eden Prairie on
May 18. Franchuk earned an
associate in science degree
with a major in engineering
foundations.
Dalos on

Mariah Dalos of Plato was
named to the dean’s list at
Normandale Community College in Bloomington for the
2015 spring semester. To
qualify, students must earn a
GPA of at least 3.5.
Weather Corner
By Jake Yurek
It’ll definitely keep feeling like summer this week,
with highs ranging from 80 to 90 and a couple chances of
rain and thunder.
I don’t think you need me to tell you Sunday’s heat
was “gross!” I did notice the Glencoe airport officially
hit an 80-degree dew point, which is both rare and extremely uncomfortable. This week we won’t be quite as
warm as Sunday and dew point levels won’t be quite that
high.
The best chance of rain we’ll see this week will come
in late Wednesday into Thursday morning, as a thunderstorm complex may move through. Beyond that, we’re
still in a relatively active pattern, so we might have a few
passing showers late Saturday into Sunday. The weekend
rain chances will be fairly spotty, so there shouldn’t be
any all-day washouts.
Highs Thursday will be held in check a bit by the early
clouds and possibly rain, so I’m thinking upper 70s. Friday through the weekend could have highs approach 90
if we get enough sun to heat things up. Normally when
we get the heat of July, rain stays away but this year
we’re continuing to stay close enough to the main storm
track. I’d like to venture a guess as to what that means,
but this year’s weather has been all over the board so I
have no idea. Have a great mid-July week, everyone!
Ma dobry weekendem
Mit dobry vikend
Wednesday night — Lows 64-70; rain and thunder.
Thursday — Highs 76-83, lows 63-69; rain early, then
clouds.
Friday — Highs 83-89, lows 65-71; mostly clear.
Saturday — Highs 83-90, lows 65-71; partly cloudy,
late thunder.
Sunday — Highs 80-86; early shower, partly cloudy.
Weather Quiz: How rare are 80-degree dew points for
our area?
Answer to last week’s question (Why were skies so
hazy last week?): As most have probably heard by now,
our hazy skies were due to forest fires raging in Canada.
The right conditions were in place and our main jet
stream was pulling the smoke directly towards us. Typically, we’d have a southern flow that would keep the
smoke away, but this year the conditions were perfect to
haul the smoke our way. Unfortunately, when this happens it typically brings horrible air quality with it; we
were noted as having worse air quality those days than
Beijing.
Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!

Ground was broken in Buffalo on Wednesday, July 8, for
the new Trailblazer Transit office building and bus
garage. Trailblazer Transit, which started in McLeod and
Sibley counties, recently expanded service into Wright
County. Participating in the ceremony, in the front from
left to right, are Gary Ludwig, Trailblazer Transit; Al Munson, city of Howard Lake; Nadine Schoen, city of St.
Michael; Lynn Kissock, city of Maple Lake; Jack Russek,
city of Delano; Ron Shimanski, McLeod County; Butch
Amundsen, city of Cokato; Doug Krueger, McLeod
County; Bill Pinske, Sibley County; Laureen Bodin, city
of Buffalo; Scott Enter, city of Buffalo; and Merton Auger,
city of Buffalo; and, in back, Tonia Persons and Bill

Trailblazer Continued from page 1
sit facility in Buffalo.
Trailblazer Transit started
in Sibley County in 1997.
McLeod County joined the
transit system in 1999.
Wright County Area Transit
(WCAT) joined the transit
system in 2015. Trailblazer
Transit has been providing
public transportation in portions of Wright County since
2009. Trailblazer started providing transit service
throughout all of Wright
County after the dissolution
of RiverRider in June 2014.
Trailblazer currently has 15
bus schedules that operate out
of its Glencoe facility and another seven bus schedules
that operate out of Buffalo
Public Works, which is a temporary location being used
until the new facility is constructed. The Buffalo location
is expected to have up to 14
total buses in operation by the
end of 2015.
Twelve cities in Wright
County are part of the Wright
County Area Transportation
(WCAT) group that participates in the funding and administration of Trailblazer.
These cities include Albertville, Annandale, Buffalo,
Cokato, Delano, Hanover,
Howard Lake, Maple Lake,
Montrose, Rockford, St.
Michael, and Waverly. The
cities that do not participate
include Clearwater, Monticel-
lo, Otsego and South Haven.
The Wright County government also does not participate, nor do the Wright County townships. There may be
future discussion about these
entities joining the WCAT
group to receive full access to
the public transit service.
Presently, non-participating
cities and townships are limited to rides that either begin or
end in one of the cities that
participate in WCAT.

bles, as well as a private
meeting room that can be
used for patient care conferences or family events and
parties.
The remodeling project
also includes new therapy
and equipment rooms for
GRHS’ respiratory therapy
department.
“GRHS is one of a very
few hospitals outside the
Twin Cities metro area that
provides post-acute care for
patients who have tracheostomies or are ventilatordependent,” said Braband.
“Our respiratory therapists
need to be located next to our
transitional care unit so they
can provide the individualized care and frequent monitoring these patients need to
be successful in the ventilator
weaning process.”
Community members can
follow the project on Facebook. Construction began in
June and is scheduled to finish in September.
