By Lori Copler Staff Writer At the tail-end of a threehour-plus meeting Nov. 20, the McLeod County Board of Commissioners voted to lift its hiring freeze. The freeze, which barred the hiring of employees for newly created positions, was placed in effect nearly four years ago as the county struggled with declining county program aid revenue and other effects of a recessive economy. Commissioner Paul Wright brought up the possibility of lifting the freeze in mid-October, noting that some departments are growing in business, and that the freeze prohibits the County Board from even doing something

County Board lifts its 4-year hiring freeze
as simple as assigning an employee more duties, because that creates a “new” position. At that time, the County Board referred the matter to its budget committee, which on Oct. 30 recommended not lifting the freeze because there is no money budgeted in 2013 for new positions. Commissioners Bev Wangerin and Ray Bayerl both expressed concern that lifting the freeze would “open the floodgates” on requests for new positions. However, Wright persisted, saying that any new requests will go through a rigid review, including being considered by the county administrator, a personnel committee

Marietta Neumann, long-time director of the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf in Glencoe, is trying to restock the shelves to keep up with the growing demands. A recent infusion of donations by area stu-
dents, scouts and church groups has helped in keeping the shelves filled. But they do not stay filled for long.

I don’t say ‘no’ to anything. I don’t have ‘no’ in my vocabulary.” While donations have been coming into the Glencoe facility regularly, Neumann stressed it will continue to seek more food and cash donations as the demands on the local food shelf continue to grow. The public has responded. A bus

Railroad rehab nearly done
ARLINGTON — The rehabilitation work on the Minnesota Prairie Line from Norwood Young America to Winthrop was completed Nov. 26, the Arlington Enterprise reported. The line runs through Arlington. The upgrade of the railroad tracks will allow trains to run at 25 miles per hour instead of the current 10 miles per hour. The remainder of the 94-mile line from Winthrop west to Hanley Falls will remain at 10 miles per hour. The upgrade of the eastern section of the line will allow for not only faster trains, but longer trains with larger locomotives, the Enterprise reported.
Write-in wins LP Board seat
LESTER PRAIRIE — MerriLea Kyllo became the newest member of the Lester Prairie School Board on Nov. 6 as a write-in candidate.

Concrete or bituminous?
SILVER LAKE — The Silver Lake Leader reported that Silver Lake City Council members and the McLeod County Highway Engineer John Brunkhorst are in a discussion over whether the reconstruction of Grove Street north and south in the city should be done with a concrete surface favored by the county or bituminous surface favored by City Council members. The disagreement got a bit terse when Brunkhorst responded by letter to a cost comparison.

The sessions involved the Green Isle Lions Club members, Arlington Chamber of Commerce members and members of the Gaylord Rotary and Sertoma clubs.
Compassionate Friends host the annual candlelighting for deceased children Dec. 9
On Sunday, Dec. 9, the Hutchinson area chapter of The Compassionate Friends is hosting its 11th annual Remembrance Candlelighting in conjunction with National Compassionate Friends’ worldwide candlelighting. The local event will be at the Dobratz-Hantge Funeral Chapel, main chapel, on Highway 15 South in Hutchinson. The event is open to anyone who would like to come and light a candle in remembrance of a child who died too soon; whether your own child or that of a neighbor, co-worker, relative or friend. “It is a special time to say their name out loud and light a candle, that their light will continue to shine in our hearts,” said Jo Reck of the Dobratz-Hantge Chapel. “Especially at this time of the year when their absence is so deeply felt, your support and participation can help ease some of our pain. “It is a very beautiful way to share with all of those who have walked in our shoes through the painful journey of losing a child,” Reck said. “Bring a photo in a frame that can stand by itself if you are honoring your own deceased child,” she added. Refreshments and a time of sharing will follow. Call Jo Reck at 320-833-2300 with any questions.

Charlie Guerrero
Profession/Occupation: Owner of Home Solutions of Glencoe and Home Solutions of Norwood. How many years have you been in Glencoe: 12 years. How long have you been a Rotarian and why did you join Rotary: 12 years... I joined Rotary because of its mission to put service above self. I enjoy the camaraderie of our weekly lunches and I enjoy raising funds to benefit out local community. Name some reasons you came to Glencoe and/or what are some good things about Glencoe: I came back to Glencoe after getting my business management degree from Hamline University. The opportunity to own my own business was presented to me and since my wife wanted to work in a rural setting, it felt like it was a nice fit for both of us. I enjoy being a part of a small community that can pretty much meet any purchasing need we might have. I like the feel of a small town business community, small town school system and its proximity to the metro is perfect. Family: wife, Mandy Leino; children, Kendall, 8; Sawyer, 5; and Finley, 1-1/2.

God bless you all!
As the new pastor of Berean Baptist Church, I am excited to join with the congregation in inviting you to come and visit us here in Glencoe. Sunday school begins at 9 a.m. and the worship service, opening with songs of praise, followed by biblical teaching starts at 10:20 a.m. It is a new beginning for us here and with this fresh start we have experienced healing and are praying for reconciliation with those who once attended Berean Baptist Church. It is our desire to seek the Lord and ask Him to enable us to be a “light” in the darkness and to be a “hospital for the hurting” throughout our community. If you are looking for peace in your life and truth to guide you and your family in a world that has lost its way, please consider visiting us at Berean Baptist Church. As a congregation, our daily commitment is for readiness of mind and searching the scriptures daily in proclaiming the word of God. Come join us and together we will work to reach our community with the Good News. Pastor Jonathan Pixler

ewspapers are unique in America. Through the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, they are guaranteed freedom from government interference. There is no other specific business in this country given that guarantee by our Founding Fathers. Why? Because the Founding Fathers, more than anyone, understood the power of the free press. Newspapers were the main conduit for the exchange of opinions on the issues of the day and for the ideas of a better future. The Founding Fathers also understood that a free press was essential to good, honest government, and that its key role in society is to be a “watchdog” against government abuses and over extensions. Fast forward 236 years, and that role continues to evolve with the addition of radio, television and now the Internet. But the main goal remains the same. To ensure government operates in a transparent way, and that when abuses are found, they are exposed. Shining a light in those dark corners, in other words. But what happens when the press gets into bed with government or gets too cozy with those it may have to cover? What happens when a newspaper, or any other medium, takes special interest money in order to survive financially? The whole watchdog role is thrown out the window along with the perception of fairness and objectivity. The newspaper’s reputation is shot, in other words. So it was with shock that we received a notice from the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF) last week that our competitor, The Glencoe Enterprise, a newspaper, received a loan from this quasi-government entity.

The McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, November 28, 2012, page 4

The loan to Enterprise owners Kevin and Jean Johnson was awarded as “a microenterprise loan” from SWIF to help the Enterprise expand its services and staff. First of all, why would the Enterprise owners want to take that money with strings attached? Second, do they even comprehend the role of a serious newspaper? If they did, they would not have even considered getting a SWIF-backed loan. They would have gone to a commercial bank for funding, like other businesses. The Enterprise has crossed an ethical line in the newspaper business that seriously impedes its ability to report objectively. It has become a subsidized newspaper beholding to its benefactor. That is just what our Founding Fathers wanted to avoid. On a more practical level, The Enterprise has now made the playing field uneven. While The Chronicle and other community newspapers, struggle to maintain staff and services amid budget cuts, wage freezes and revenue shortfalls in these tough economic times, the Enterprise has artificially boosted its revenues with an infusion of loaned money not earned. Disturbing is SWIF, and why it would assist a business involved in “a watchdog role” in society. Even more disturbing is why it would play favorites. Why would it choose to assist one newspaper over another? It should have assisted neither. The McLeod County Chronicle would never consider a financial arrangement with SWIF. We take our role seriously. The public, therefore, needs to ask: Why would our competitor sell its soul? — R.G.
My ‘girlie’ granddaughter bagged a deer!
My granddaughter, Leah, is a “girlie girl.” She likes girls’ things — makeup, fingernail polish, pink colors. She also likes to deer hunt. Screech. How can that be? Well, not sure, but she bagged her first deer this fall, a six-point buck with three antlers pointed up and three pointed down. Son Kevin, Leah’s father and hunting mentor, said they are cleaning up the “deer gene pool” in the Fairmont area by shooting these “abnormal looking” deer. The previous year, they bagged a one-horned deer. Apparently, the Fairmont area has a herd of unicorns. Needless to say, I was surprised my grandaughter took up deer hunting considering her other girlish traits. She is pint-sized at age 14, or is that more appropriately considered petite? Well, she is small by my standards at a whopping 83 pounds. I suspect that is with an ammo belt on, but she tends to be a bit sensitive when I kid her about her weight. After being married as long as I have, you would think I would have learned not to discuss weight with females. But Grandpas and granddaughters can do that, I guess. So I asked her: “Did you shoot the antlers off this one?” She only frowned at me. “Was the deer laughing so hard at your shooting prowess, it ran into a tree branch and impaled itself?” Another frown. Inside, I’m pretty proud of her That I never saw a deer, because I was so hopelessly lost and working up a sweat in the cold and snow of November is beside the point. The point is I tried the sport of deer hunting, and found I was no good at it. But the memories, good and bad, still remain. Hopefully, that is what Leah got from her foray into deer hunting. That her Grandpa is giving her a hard time is all part of the process. But as I’m reminded, she shot one more deer than I did.
Rich Glennie
feat. Outwardly, I’m having fun with my granddaughter. I suspect the frowns are not all that sincere. Anyway, after Leah downed the six-point buck, she sends me a photo proudly showing off her trophy and the rifle she used. It is not the “pink” rifle she asked for, but even my son has limits of what he will tolerate in the field. No pink guns, he said, in case she didn’t like hunting. He imagined himself trying to sell a pink gun to his buddies. The ribbing would have been merciless. But that’s the way hunting buddies are to each other — merciless. I should know, I was on the receiving end 40 years ago, and I can still hear their taunts. I haven’t hunted since. That I constantly got lost in the north woods along the rugged shores of Rainy Lake is beside the point. That they had to rescue me by boat after I overshot the camp by 20 yards in the thick woods and wandered along the shoreline for an hour is beside the point.

Question of the week
What are your views on the new city ordinance banning on-street parking in Glencoe from Nov. 1 to April 1 between the hours of 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.? 1) I love it 2) I hate it 3) It should be allowed if there is no snow Results for most recent question: The city of Glencoe opted for Waste Management to handle its recycling services after the county went with another hauler. Waste Management offers a one-sort pick-up service. Which do you perfer: one-sort or the multi-sort programs? 1) One sort — 85% 2) 3-sort — 0% 3) 5-sort — 3% 4) Do not plan to recycle — 12%
Letters to Editor Council’s decision on 1-sort recycling not needed
To the Editor: Two weeks ago in the paper the city of Glencoe said it would be voluntary to sign up for the new onesort recycling. This last week, they said we have to do it at an added cost of $2.90 a month. With West Central, the county was picking up the tab. This is crazy that the city would go ahead on their own and change it. This is just stupid to make the homeowners pay for something we don’t need. I know for one thing, this homeowner will be throwing everything in the garbage before I pay extra for something we didn’t need. This all started because of a couple people from the City Council stated they couldn’t figure how, or were too lazy to use, the five-sort method of recycling. Wayne Rosenfeld Glencoe

Stewart City Council rethinks sidewalk routes at workshop
By Lori Copler Staff Writer The Stewart City Council reworked the sidewalk routes it established earlier this year at a workshop session Monday night. During the lengthy discussion, the City Council decided it was best to establish sidewalks near businesses and city property, such as the park and the community center, and along the Prior Street and Main Street truck routes. Previously, the City Council had adopted walking routes on the north sides of Martha, Main Hall and Croyden streets, as well as the west side of Prior. Council Member Michael Aydt, who helped draw up the original routes, said he was thinking of families with children when he made the proposal. Aydt said he was thinking of parents who would point out the sidewalk and tell their children, “You stay on this sidewalk until you get to the park.” While some people do use the walks, Council Member Tammy Schaufler pointed out that many people who walk use the street instead, and expressed concern about the city establishing — and paying for — sidewalks that may not be used much. In the end, the City Council decided on its plans to put sidewalks in the busier areas of the business district, the city property and, as a safer option, along the truck routes. City Clerk Ronda Huls will present a revised map at the City Council’s next regular meeting for formal adoption. The City Council also revisited its cemetery ordinance Monday night. The City Council plans to update some archaic language — for example, a husband is to be buried on the south side of a double lot while his wife gets the north side — as well as updating the materials that can be used for monuments and markers to include wrought iron. The City Council also intends to remove its ban on the placement of such memorial objects as balloons, banners, solar lanterns, etc., and instead will allow those items on a cemetery lot, provided that they do not interfere with city personnel’s maintenance of the cemetery, such as mowing or edging. Materials that do interfere with that work, or which fall into disrepair, can be removed by city personnel and disposed of without liability to the city, the ordinance will say. That ordinance, too, will be formally considered at the City Council’s next meeting.

Nov. 29, 1912 A.F. Avery, Editor Jos. Navara of Collins submitted to an operation for a tumor in his stomach at the Eitel hospital in Minneapolis Friday morning. Considering the nature of the operation, which was a very serious one, the patient was doing very well as this was written and we trust that his rugged constitution will bring him through to a rapid and complete recovery. A daring hold-up was committed in a Glencoe saloon Thursday night. A party of men, most of them prominent businessmen, were playing skat in the place when the door was pushed open and a man with gun ordered them all to line up against the back wall. The robber helped himself to all the money and valuables he could discover in the pockets of the card players, getting several hundred dollars along with watches, etc. He then walked out, but apparently made no attempt to leave town. The fire bell was rung and it was not long before the desperado was captured and identified, along with two other men who were apparently accomplices. The men were members of a railroad construction gang, we are told. employed near Stewart for some time and is known to intimates as a sterling young man. The couple plan to make their home with the bride’s mother in Stewart. The Collins-Round Grove 4-H Club held its annual meeting Friday evening.

Thank you to all of the businesses and individuals who donated items for the silent auction and for the benefit. We would especially like to send a big THANK YOU to our family for all of their hard work and dedication on organizing the benefit. Words cannot express our gratitude.

Teammates
don’t know about you, but I had a wonderful thanksgiving. I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with my family, eat way too much food, and relax while watching some football. As I was sitting on the couch watching football, a game in which you have 50+ men on one team working together to win one game, I had a thought about a recent portion of scripture I had read. In Romans 12:4-8, Paul writes about believers being a part of one body, working together using all of our gifts in a way to better the church. If you watch a football game you realize that one wrong play made by a player, which may be viewed as insignificant, can decide the outcome of that game. Football fans sure don’t get excited about an extra point from the kicker, but if that point were missed and the game were lost by just a point, you can believe fans would place all blame on that kicker. As a body of believers we all have talents and opportunities, but if we all don’t do our part we fail. Just as a football team needs every player, even those who may not get recognition, our body needs every believer. What has God given you today that you haven’t given back?
We use a healing combination of therapeutic massage and chiropractic care to help you find relief from many different conditions and to help you feel your best.

Kevin and Jean Johnson of Hutchinson, owners of The Glencoe Enterprise newspaper, recently received loan assistance from the Southwest Initiative Foundation’s (SWIF) Microenterprise Loan Program for the expansion of their newspaper business. “The Johnsons have seen a market need for a full menu of graphic design and marketing services for the numerous small businesses in the area, who may not fit the profile for the larger graphic arts/web design businesses. To serve this end, the Enterprise has hired additional staff in graphic arts, as well as in advertising sales,” said Kurt Thompson, SWIF progarm officer. “Small-town newspapers are the heartbeat of the community and serve an important need,” said Thompson. “We are pleased to be able to assist The Glencoe Enterprise with the growth of their business, which will benefit the city and surrounding area.” Proceeds from the SWIF loan will be used for working capital. SWIF’s Microenterprise Loan Program offers loans of up to $50,000 for starting or expanding forprofit small businesses located within the 18 counties of southwest Minnesota. This program also now serves Carver, Stearns and Wright counties. In addition to financing, SWIF provides free technical assistance to all clients who have received a loan through the Microenterprise Program for the life of the loan. SWIF staff and business consultants provide one-to-one business planning, accounting, marketing and other training opportunities that will help entrepreneurs succeed in their venture. The program receives funding assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture. For more information, contact SWIF at 800-594-9480, 320-587-4848 or loans@swifoundation.org. “The Southwest Initiative Foundation is a single connection offering unlimited possibilities to grow and promote people, businesses, entrepreneurs and communities in rural southwest Minnesota,” Thompson said. As a regional community foundation, SWIF has contributed more than $58 million through its grant and loan programs. SWIF has helped more than 580 businesses start or expand through its business finance programs, which have created or retained more than 7,700 jobs. SWIF has also established 16 Early Childhood Initiative coalitions, 49 Youth Energy Summit teams, 24 community foundations and more than 80 other funds.

Glencoe-Silver Lake students pitched in to collect over 1,900 pounds of food from the school sites in the district and delivered them to the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf Friday morning with a school bus. The Pack the Bus program is a twice-a-year event by the students. Above, Eric Thalmann (in the bus) starts the human chain with Ray Eberhard, Joe Fehrenbach and Shannon Twiss and Samantha Dahlke. At the right, Colton Lueders, Samantha Johnson (center, holding box) and Kaylee Venier, far right, help unload the donations inside the food shelf.
Corrections & Clarifications
In the Nov. 14 photo information of the VFW Auxiliary’s Veterans Day presentation at the Helen Baker Elementary School, The Chronicle erred in stating the American Legion Post 95 was involved. It should have stated the Glencoe VFW Ladies Auxiliary to Post 5102 presented a Veterans’ Day program at Helen Baker Elementary School. VFW Commander James Peters and post member Jeff Scharpe gave the first- and second-grade students “high fives” for reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. “The American Legion is not part of the elementary school program. The VFW Ladies Auxiliary presents this program,” according to Virginia Adams, Americanism chairwoman for the Glencoe VFW Ladies Auxiliary to Post 5102. ***** The Chronicle strives for accuracy in its reports.

Food shelf Continued from page 1
school donations from the bus tour of sites was down by about 1,000 pounds from last year, while church donations are up a little more. “So it averages out.” But the demand for food shelf assistance keeps going up. Is it more than last year? “Definitely!” Neumann said when asked about needs. She said 1,493 individual households used the food shelf so far this year and that involves 4,468 individuals. Of that total, 1,563 were from Glencoe and 2,694 from Hutchinson. First-time users totaled 288, and those receiving multiple distributions ranged from 583 for one time usage to 52 who used the food shelf 10 or more times this year. Asked if people are coming to the food shelf more often, Neumann replied “Definitely! We’re now serving some once a month. And we’re seeing a greater percentage of people 65 and older. We’ve even seen some over 90 (years old).” Neumann said more people are “swallowing their pride and asking for help.” With many living on Social Security and with other expenses, “What are they eating beside the 40 pounds we give them per month? I’d honestly like to know.” She said one elderly woman has been in seeking food help through the state’s (cheese) program that also is handled through the food shelf. Through the applications made by people, Neumann said she sees what these people live on from their financial statements. “But I don’t hear a word of complaint from her,” Neumann said of the elderly woman. “She’s so thankful for what she’s getting.” But there are more joining the ranks all the time, Neumann said, and pointed to those workers now seeing the end of their unemployment extensions. She predicted another wave of newcomers to the food shelf. While some of the unemployed are getting jobs, often they are earning less than before and, if both spouses once worked, only one is now. Add in the price of gasoline to travel farther to work, it further cuts in on what they spend on food. “It’s right across the board,” Neumann said of people coming in. “It’s the trickle down, and we wind up as the last stop.” Does she ever turn anyone away? “No,” Neumann quickly said, but when people get too “fussy” over what is offered to them, “we know they are not hurting that badly.” There are some who have food allergies or need special diets, but Neumann said she can usually tell who is not hurting too badly “by their attitude, but that is a small number.” Neumann also said some families “have weathered the storm,” and come back to tell her they will not need any more help. So what is needed by the food shelf? “Basics,” Neumann said, and pointed to macaroni and cheese, Hamburger Helper and soups are needed most often. The worst time in the year has been July and August when children are out of school, Neumann said. “We had a $20,000 grocery bill in July,” she said of using cash reserves to restock the food shelves. “The summer months (July and August) are tough,” she added. “Very little came in, and it was the heaviest usage.” She said 600 households used the food shelf in July, and the normal use is 300 to 400, Neumann said. “And it’s not the migrants,” Neumann stressed. “During the summer, our refrigerator door doesn’t go shut,” she added. Unlike hunger shown in foreign countries, Neumann said hunger in America “doesn’t show on the face of a child. It’s not like overseas. But we have kids starving here, too. It could be your next door neighbor.” She cited an older gentleman who came in to the food shelf one day and complained about the young people being too lazy to go to work. She said that same day, that man’s son came in for food, “and he had no idea. The young man was too proud to tell his family.”

and, finally, the County Board itself. On Tuesday, Nov. 20, Wangerin said she was going to vote in favor of the request, saying that Wright had “convinced her” with his argument that all requests would be rigorously examined. And Wangerin noted, the departments are undergoing review for possible restructuring. If there is a hiring freeze in place, she said, “the departments are stuck” and unable to make changes. Wangerin also said “we have so many stop gaps in place,” that requests would be stringently reviewed. The County Board voted to repeal the hiring freeze. In other business Nov. 20, the County Board: • Heard from McLeod County Highway Engineer John Brunkhorst that the bridge on County Road 15, originally slated to be finished by Oct. 12, probably will not be open until around Dec. 21. Brunkhorst said the contractor Duininck Construction of Prinsburg, is facing a fine of $1,500 per calendar day since the original finish date. “They could be facing around $100,000 in penalties,” said Brunkhorst. The total cost for the bridge project, which spans the south fork of the Crow River, was bid at about $750,000. Brunkhorst said Duininck started the project, then left it to work on other projects. Brunkhorst also reported that an open house regarding the proposed roundabout at the County Road 115/State Highway 15 intersection, has been set for Thursday, Dec. 6, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Hutchinson Event Center. • Approved the hiring of Vincent Traver as the new information technology director effective Nov. 21. Traver replaces Tom O’Keefe, who retired earlier this year. • Approved its annual agreements with the Minnesota Extension Service to provide services for the McLeod For Tomorrow leadership and alumni programs. • Set a public hearing for Thursday, Dec. 27, at 10 a.m., for the proposed 2013 fee schedule. • Set the bid closing date for the official county newspaper for Dec. 28 at 4:30 p.m., with the bid to be awarded at the Jan. 8 County Board meeting. • Was reminded that the annual truth-in-taxation hearing is Thursday, Nov. 29, at 6 p.m., in the County Board Room. • Set a closed meeting for Tuesday, Dec. 18, for the annual performance review for County Administrator Pat Melvin.
