School officials outline building
proposal at April 23 public forum
Chronicle photo by Lori Copler
Glencoe-Silver Lake Superintendent Chris Sonju explained some
aspects of the school district’s proposed $24 million building
bond at a forum Thursday night at Helen Baker Elementary
School. Voters will go to the polls May 12 to vote on the bond
issue.

Editor
Glencoe-Silver Lake (GSL)
School administrators continued to
outline why they think the Helen
Baker School ought to be replaced
by an addition at the high school/junior high campus at a public forum
Thursday night.
The forum was the second of three
the district has planned before the
May 12 vote on a proposed $24 million addition to the high school and
junior high that would allow the district to close Helen Baker. The next
forum will be Thursday, May 7, at 6
p.m., in the high school media center. The district also is offering coffee and cookies Thursday, April 30,
at 9 a.m., at Helen Baker to give residents a chance to see that building
and ask questions.
Superintendent Chris Sonju said
Thursday night that if the district
continued to use Helen Baker for its
kindergarten through second-grade
students, it would need to spend
about $8 million to bring the building up to standards, and probably another $4 million to add on necessary
space to address the overcrowding.
But adding onto Helen Baker
could be a problem, pointed out former Chronicle editor Rich Glennie,
who noted that Helen Baker is
“landlocked.”
GSL Business Manager Michelle
Sander agreed, noting that three
sides of the Helen Baker property is
surrounded by residential homes,
while the fourth side is fronted by
16th Street E.
Adding onto Helen Baker, she
said, would take away a significant
portion — if not all — of the
school’s playground area.
Fortunately, Sander added, there is
ample room at the high school campus to allow an addition with still
plenty of room for playgrounds and
fields.
“Many schools with building projects have to buy property first,” said
Sander. “We’re fortunate that we already own property.”
Sonju also said he has often been
asked about the future of Helen
Baker if the bond passes.
Sonju said the school district cannot do anything with the Helen

Car-bicycle accident
claims life of Glencoe
woman Sunday
Penny Lucille Verdeck, 40, of
Glencoe, was fatally injured in a
car-bicycle accident in the area of
120th Street and Hennepin Avenue,
north of Glencoe, late Sunday afternoon.
According to the McLeod County Sheriff’s office, the accident was
reported at about 3:58 p.m., and
Verdeck was riding a bicycle that
was reportedly struck by a 2005
Pontiac G6 driven by Emily Louise
Givens, 24, of Hutchinson. The car
is owned by Lori Tauer, also of
Hutchinson.
Verdeck was pronounced dead at
the scene; Givens was taken to the
Glencoe hospital by the Glencoe
Ambulance. The car had over
$1,000 in damage.
Also responding to the accident
were the Glencoe Police Department, Glencoe Fire Department,
Glencoe Ambulance and the Minnesota State Patrol. A death investigator and personnel from the local
funeral home also were summoned
to the accident site.
Funeral services for Penny
Verdeck will be Thursday at 11 a.m.
at Christ Lutheran Church in Glencoe.
Visitation is Wednesday (today),
from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. with a 7:30
p.m. prayer service, and will continue Thursday for one hour prior to
the service, all at the church.
GSL to present spring
play, ‘Sherlock Holmes,’
Thursday through Sunday
The game’s afoot at Glencoe-Silver Lake (GSL) High School this
coming weekend with the production of the GSL spring play, “Sherlock Holmes,” by Tim Kelly.
This adaptation of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle’s famed detective
story combines mystery, romance,
action, danger and laughter.
Alice Faulkner (Lili Mallak) has
letters written by a dead girl that
will cause grave international problems. Professor Moriarty (Quinten
Proehl) wants those letters; so does
Sherlock Holmes (Ben Rockswold).
The game’s afoot!
The professor has hired a group
of sinister characters to help him in
his plot to get those letters. His
group, James and Madge Larabee
(Travis Uecker and Sloan Becker),
Sid Prince (Mark Broderius), Mrs.
Bassick (Rachel Bonderman), Pepper (Emmi Jerabek), Ginger
(Marissa Kirchoff), and Gashouse
Gertie (Tina Bonillo), have a plan
to get those letters and cause destruction along the way.
Young Sherlock Holmes, with the
guidance of a few friends of his
own — Dr. Watson (Richard Wil-
son), Mrs. Hudson (Autumn Lindback), Detective Lestrade (Katy
Kunkel), and Foreman (Alex Endres) — uses his clever and unique
detective skills to stop the professor
and get those letters back to the true
owners, the Prince of Bohemia
(Noah Tankersley) and Lady Edwina (Stephanie Welch).
In the end, it’s all “Elementary.”
The production, directed by
Patrick Hiltner, will be staged at the
GSL High School Auditorium on
Thursday, April 30, Friday, May 1,
and Saturday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m.,
with a matinee performance on
Sunday, May 3, at 2 p.m. Admission will be charged at the door.
Along with the above-mentioned
characters, the cast includes: Jenna
Jochum, newspaper seller one; Julia
Gomez, newspaper seller two; Ellie
Forcier, flower lady; Tina Bonillo,
Joan; and Leah Peterson, match
girl. Crew members include Mariah
Guldemann-Chiariello, Sadie Paumen, Morgyn Robinson, Thalia
Otero, Anmorisa Chandler.

Baker building until it knows
the outcome of the May 12
vote. If the bond issue fails,
the school district will still
need to use the building.
And, Sonju said, there are
legal steps to take for disposing of a publicly owned
building.
“We can’t get ahead of the
process,” said Sonju.
But the first choice, he said,
would be to sell the building
so that it could still be used in
the community. If that option
isn’t successful, the district
will have to make plans to demolish it.
“The last thing we want to
do is put boards on it and let
the grass grow around it,”
said Sonju. “The last thing we
want is to have this become a
deterrent in the community.”
*****
Sander said the May 12
proposal is very similar to
two bonds that were voted
upon in 2011. Both of those
votes failed by similar margins with similar voter
turnouts, so the district reassessed the project, she said.
“We kind of sat and let
things simmer for awhile,”
said Sander. “We tried to listen to the voters and their
concerns and address their issues.”
The new proposal is a
scaled-back version of the
2011 proposal, but will cost
about $6 million more than
that project, which was estimated at $18 million.
Since then, construction
costs have gone up dramatically, primarily because the
housing market crash just
prior to 2010 caused many
contractors to go out of business. Sander said there are
now fewer contractors competing for more work, which
is driving up construction
costs.
“The good thing is that interest rates are still down,”
Sander added.
Asked if the district had a
planned contingency in case
the bids came in higher than
expected, Sander said the district had built in a “cushion”
in its construction cost estimates.
The proposal is assuming a
construction cost of about
$207 per square foot. But the
current reality, Sander said, is
that construction costs are
running about $180 to $190
per square foot.
*****
While reviewing the 2011
proposal after the votes
failed, Sander said the district
officials “kind of kept coming
back” to the same needs as
2011, but with some changes.
That 2011 proposal included a new early childhood addition, which the district has
since constructed on its own.
However, adding that preschool/early childhood addition at the junior/senior high
campus meant those students
are separated from the other
early primary grades at Helen
Baker. That makes collaborative learning between the
lower primary grades difficult.
Another issue raised in
2011, Sander said, was the
planned construction of a
three-court gymnasium.
Although the school district
felt a three-court gym would
help solve instructional space
issues for physical education,
as well as provide another option for extracurricular sports,
the proposal did not seem
popular with many voters.
The new proposal scales
that back to a two-court gym,
which also frees up the Lincoln Junior High gym to be
used for other purposes.
Sonju also noted that the
2011 project would have allowed the district to add a
section at each grade level, if
the population grew in the
area.
The new proposal keeps the
grade levels at five sections
each, but still allows for some
growth.
“We could probably accommodate another 100 to
200 kids K-12, if they were
spread out fairly evenly over
all the grades,” said Sonju.
Another difference over
2011 is that this year’s bond
includes $240,000 to upgrade
windows at Lakeside Elementary in Silver Lake.
Sonju said there was concern in the past that Lakeside
may be closed some day, and
all students moved to Glencoe. Sonju said he hopes that
investing more into Lakeside
will help convince residents
that the district is committed
to keeping Lakeside as a
long-term component in the
district’s facility plan.
Also included in this year’s
plan is a new entrance to replace the “link” between the
Panther Field House and the
high school on the north side.
That entrance will be large
enough to be used for community meetings, adult education and other non-school
activities. Sonju said the administration, its advisory
committees and the School
Board felt it was important to
provide some benefit to taxpayers who do not necessarily
have children in school.
“We need to meet the needs
of all our community members,” said Sonju.
*****
Sander said the proposed
project also will provide
greater efficiencies for the
district.
A new boiler system is proposed for the high school and
junior high campus, with two
new boilers in the high school
providing most of the heat,
while a new boiler in the Lincoln Junior High will create a
“redundant” back-up system.
In addition, the new addition to the front of the school,
which will be dedicated to the
junior high grades, will have
“integrated learning spaces”
to allow for both classroom
instruction and collaborative
instruction between different
sections, or even different
grade levels. That will provide a more efficient learning
environment, Sander said.
The school also will have a
cooling system for the new
addition and gym, which will
provide greater climate control for athletics, as well as
for such activities as graduation.
A new kitchen and two additional eating areas — one
for upper level students and
the other for the elementary
students — also are included
in the plan. The new kitchen
will be able to serve both
cafeterias, Sander said.
A couple of minor changes
in the high school include the
addition of an east-west corridor through the media center
to connect the two halves of
the building, providing easier
travel through the building,
and the conversion of the
kitchen into additional learning space for the district’s
technology programs.
Sonju said he felt the proposal will fill the district’s
needs.
“It’s a very solid project,
but not your Taj Mahal,” said
Sonju.
*****
Sander also touched on the
tax impact. She noted that the
district is proposing a 30-year
bond, rather than a 20-year
bond as was proposed in
2011, primarily to lessen the
impact on taxpayers.
A chart was provided with
possible tax impacts on different categories of property,
but Sander said the most accurate information will be obtained if taxpayers take advantage of a tax calculator on
the school district’s website,
or if they contact Ehlers &
Associates, the district’s financial consultant, directly.

New telecommunications tower planned
By Lori Copler
Editor
There will soon be a new
telecommunications tower in
Hale Township near an existing tower, following action by
the McLeod County Planning
Advisory
Commission
Wednesday morning, April
22.
The commission is recommending approval of a conditional use permit for the
tower to the McLeod County
Board of Commissioners,
which will consider the item
on its May 5 agenda.
The new, 340-foot tower
will be located on property
owned by Roosevelt Broadcasting in Section 26 of Hale
Township. The street address
is 8705 210th St., Silver
Lake. The applicant for the
conditional use permit is John
Linder of Minnesota Valley
Broadcasting in Mankato.
According to Garrett Lysiak of Owl Engineering, the
county’s consulting firm for
telecommunications towers,
there already is an existing
tower on the site. There is no
room to add service to the existing tower, Lysiak said, so
the company chose instead to
add a tower.
The new tower will help fill
a “gap” in service coverage in
the area, Lysiak indicated.
Lysiak added that, technically, because of its height,
the new tower should have
lights. However, the existing
tower is even taller, and already has lights. The two
towers will be within about
30 feet of each other. Lysiak
said he will recommend to the
Federal Aviation Agency
(FAA) that the new tower not
be lighted.
There also was some discussion about whether the
county should require a bond
to ensure that concrete footings would be removed if the
towers are ever dismantled
and the property restored to
farmland.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Larry Gasow said
a bond would probably be required if the broadcasting
company was leasing the
property. However, the property is owned by the applicant, which could work out
the concrete removal with a
buyer if the property is ever
sold.
The commission meeting
also included a public hearing
regarding the proposal. With
no one in attendance, the
commission voted to recommend approval to the County
Board.
In other business, the Planning Commission:
• Heard a request from
Byron Bussler in Penn Township for a conditional use permit to build a shed greater
than 2,400 square feet on a
parcel of property less than
10 acres. Again, there were
no objections and the commission will recommend approval to the County Board.
• Will recommend approval
of a final plat for Jim Hildebrandt in Glencoe Township,
who is splitting an existing
parcel into two lots.
• Considered a sketch plan
from Lannie Grages of Glencoe Township to re-plat two
existing platted lots. The reshaping of the lots will allow
more property for an existing
home and home occupation,
while decreasing the size of
the other lot. Although decreasing that lot size would
make it non-buildable under
county standards, it would
meet the minimum building
size for the city of Glencoe,
which the lot abuts. Gasow
said the city could annex the
property if someone wanted
to build on it.
• Considered a preliminary
plat proposed by Rodney
Manderscheid of Memory
Circle near Hutchinson. The
proposed plat would split an
existing and adjoining .9 acre
parcel and add it to Manderscheid’s existing platted property to create a larger lot.

said he knew very little about
the train when he was asked
to take a lead on this process.
Broderius only remembered it
from a summer trip with his
little brother to see the
Thomas the Tank Engine.
“I have always loved
trains, though, and my grandfather was really into them,
so that’s probably where I got
it from,” said Broderius.
Rotary Snow Plow No. 2 is
the oldest plow of its kind
still in existence. It was built
in 1887 and was used to remove snow for 81 years before it was retired. Broderius
explained how similar methods of clearing snow from
train tracks are still in use and
at the time of its introduction,
it was a major improvement.
“In the past, they would
use a wedge plow and the
train would go really fast to
try and push through. If there
ended up being an object in
the way, they would derail,”
said Broderius. “Even though
this moved at a slow speed,
the rotary plow was much
safer and more reliable.”
That reliability meant the
western part of the United
States would continue to re-
ceive shipments when being
cut off was common due to
the closure of high mountain
passes.
“It kept the railroad river of
commerce moving,” said
Schandel.
Since 1971, ASME has
designated 256 existing artifacts as representing significant mechanical engineering
technology. Schandel said
being part of that small number across the country is a
great honor.
Overall, Broderius feels the
extra effort has been well
worth it. Working with the
Duluth community and his
peers in UMD’s Swenson
College of Science & Engineering (SCSE) has boosted
his confidence and improved
his professional networking
and writing skills.
“When I came to UMD, I
was really nervous and shy
but I wanted to get involved,”
said Broderius. “I remember
going to my first ASME
meeting and I set a goal to be
an officer. Now I’m an officer
and I’ve made a lasting
change to Duluth. That feels
really good.”

A Glencoe native has made
a lasting impact during his
student career at the University of Minnesota Duluth
(UMD). Adam Broderius is a
member of the student chapter of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) and led efforts to
nominate a well-known exhibit at the Lake Superior
Railroad Museum (LSRM)
for special recognition. Now,
after two years of work, the
Northern Pacific Rotary
Snow Plow No. 2 has been
declared a Mechanical Engineering Historic Landmark
On April 16, ASME made
it official with a brief ceremony and plaque dedication.
Tim Schande, LSRM’s curator, was one of the speakers
and said, “We feel very privileged we’ve been selected for
this honor.”
As curator, Schandel
worked
closely
with
Broderius and the other UMD
students to give them the history and background needed
to complete the landmark
nomination
process.
Broderius, a senior majoring
in mechanical engineering,
has been the point person and

The McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, April 29, 2015, page 4
Time to scuttle
SW light-rail plan
Our view: Escalating costs
are prohibitive for 16 miles of rail
T
he proposed Southwest light-rail line,
which has been on the
books since 2003, now has an
estimated cost of $2 billion,
according to Tuesday’s StarTribune.
When the project was first
proposed in 2003, the cost was
estimated at $430 million to
$925 million to provide 16
miles of light rail between
Minneapolis and Eden Prairie.
Even then, that seemed like an
exorbitant price for 16 miles
of rail.
Now, in 2015, the cost is estimated at $1.99 billion, a figure that “shocked and appalled” Gov. Mark Dayton. It
shocked and appalled us, as
well.
We are very much in favor
of energy-efficient transportation modes that have a minimum impact on our environment, but we need to weigh
those benefits with the cost.
It is no secret in this area
that overburdened rail lines
are part of the reason that
Minnesota has so much trouble moving goods across the
state.
A lack of available rail
space, not to mention inadequate pipeline capacity, were
major issues in the propane
shortage in the winter of 201314. Not only did the U.S.
oversell propane overseas, but
it had difficulty moving the
product that was here, creating
long delays in getting liquid
propane to the areas that needed it the most.
Minnesota would be far better off taking the $2 billion
that would be needed for the
Southwest light rail proposal
and put it toward improving
its existing transportation system, including rail service,
roads and highways and
pipelines.
We need to fix the deficiencies in our current infrastructure before constructing new
projects.
Let’s encourage our state
government to scrap the
Southwest light-rail project
and focus on more immediate
needs.

May 6 is final
edition before vote
Our view: We remind our readers
of our election letters policy
L
ast week, we bemoaned the lack of
reader letters regarding the proposed Glencoe-Silver Lake (GSL) building bond
election.
That apparently sparked a
few people to put their pens to
paper and their fingers to their
keyboards, and we received
several letters to the editor this
week. We appreciate them;
those letters tell us that our
readers are indeed vested in
their communities and their issues.
That said, we need to remind you now of our election
letters to the editor policy. The
Chronicle has long held a policy regarding letters to the editor in the final edition before
an election. With the proposed
bond being voted upon May
12, that final edition will be
Wednesday, May 6.
Because there is no time for
readers to respond to issues
raised in letters in that final
edition before an election,
space will only be reserved for
letter writers who directly address issues raised in previous
letters or editorials. No new
issues can be raised in the
May 6 edition.
Sometimes, it’s a tough call
as to what is a direct response
and what is a new issue. The
various issues surrounding
such votes can be both murky
and overlapping. But we still
reserve the right to try to sort
that out to the best of our ability.
Again, thank you for your
participation on the editorial
pages of The Chronicle, and
be sure to vote May 12.

Letter to the Editor
Where is the money to demolish Helen Baker?
To the Editor:
Residents of Glencoe should understand that the $24 million GSL
bond issue contains no provision for
funding the disposition of the actual
Helen Baker structure (i.e., demolition). The school board members
and administration have simply
averted their eyes from this financial
responsibility. They have not even
investigated the cost of demolishing
the building, according to a recent
conversation I had with Superin-
tendent Sonju, Carver County resident.
Thus, should the bond issue pass,
they are painting themselves into a
corner of relying on some vague notion of selling the property. To
whom and for what purpose? I am
very concerned that the Helen Baker
property would generate continuing
issues of blight and public safety,
thereby seriously degrading property
values in that area of town.
The ethical solution here is for the
school district to return the property
to a clean site for redevelopment,
similar to how the old Economart
site downtown has been handled.
The fact that not one nickel of that
$24 million has been allotted for this
purpose demonstrates to me seriously flawed planning by the school
district on this project overall. Mine
will be a “no” vote on this issue.

Glencoe
Helen Baker would be sold or razed if vote passes
To the Editor:
I have had many people ask,
“What are you going to do with
Helen Baker School if there is a successful vote?”
This is a very good question and
one that is very important. Before
answering this question, please note
that the district wants and is prepared to deal with this property
properly.
To simplify this answer, the district would try to sell the building
and any dollars that were collected
would go directly towards offsetting
the bond. There is a legal process to
not only selling the building, but
also in closing a public facility. This
is why we have not gone through the
process of selling the building on a
contingency before the vote. If we
have a successful vote, then we can
move forward with this process, but
we can’t get ahead of the process because we are dealing with a publicly
owned facility.
It is the goal of the district that
this facility can still be a functional
asset to the district and the city of
Glencoe. If a plan that meets the
needs of the city and the citizens
cannot be met, the district would
need to move forward with demolition plans of Helen Baker.
It is important that we deal with
this building properly, but as I mentioned before, we cannot get ahead
of the process until after the vote. If
the vote is not successful, we would
still need to use Helen Baker as a
school and we would need to continue in the process of addressing the
facility needs as a district.
This is a very important day for
GSL; not only for our students, but
for the district as a whole. We need
more space, we need to have better
efficiencies in energy and education,
and we need to have safety be a top
priority. This building project allows
us to address all of these concerns in
one project. The vote is May 12,
2015. You can find more information at www.gsl.k12.mn.us.
Thank you all for being a part of
GSL!

Economic development committee supports bond
To the Editor:
The Economic Development
Committee of the Glencoe Area
Chamber of Commerce would like
to announce our support of the Glencoe-Silver Lake building project and
associated referendum.
In addition to funding needed re-
pairs at Lakeside, this project will
provide the area with a modern
school building. This helps draw
new members to the community, and
will generate activity for local area
businesses during construction.
The committee supports this project under the assumption that Helen
Baker will be dealt with in a way
that provides for redevelopment of
the land it sits on upon completion
of the new building.

GACC Board of Directors

Usually a ‘no’ voter, he’ll vote ‘yes’ on May 12
To the Editor:
I am voting “Yes” on Tuesday,
May 12, and I urge you to vote
“Yes” also.
I have lived in Glencoe for over
20 years, the majority of my adult
life, and I have almost always voted
“No” to any ballot question that
would raise my property taxes. It’s
not that I was voting against a tax
increase, I was voting against a tax
increase for a project that was not
needed. In my humble opinion, nearly every ballot initiative in the Glencoe area, in the past 20-plus years,
that would have raised property
taxes, was for an unneeded project.
From everything I’ve heard, I be-
lieve this GSL School District bond
issue for construction of additions to
the high school is needed. We have
run out of room. Taxpayer money
will be spent no matter what. It’s
time we spend it wisely, to improve
our school district.

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
For 44 years, I have been
employed as a teacher by the
Glencoe-Silver Lake School
District. I have taught at
Glencoe-Silver Lake High
School, Lincoln, Lakeside,
Helen Baker, and even at
Henry Hill, as a teacher, summer school teacher or substitute teacher. In my opinion,
the school district lacks the
necessary space needed for
its various programs. I’m
sure that when Helen Baker
was built, it was a wonderful
school that fit the needs of
the education community, but
now more space is needed
and a design is needed that
fits with the goals we have
for educating our students for
the future.
As time goes on, our world
changes and education has
changed in many ways. We
are testing the students more,
we offer more classes and
more programs. Space has to
fit the needs of the programs.
For a number of years, I
worked in a shower room that
was converted into a classroom. The superintendent
came to my room one day
and said that my program
would have to move since it
was not in a safe environment. Students were in
wheelchairs, walker, or had
disabilities that required more
space. As a result, I was
moved to the library and a
portable classroom needed to
be purchased to house the library. Because of this, all students in recent years have
had to walk outside in all
kinds of weather to access the
library. This takes time away
from classroom instruction.
We also have speech, English
language learners, and other
special education programs in
converted storage rooms,
shower rooms, and music
class is conducted on a small
stage. There is very little storage space for the regular
classrooms.
I mention all of this to
show how the various administrations have “made do”
with the space problems at
Helen Baker, but there comes
a time when “make do” and
“good enough” are inadequate. I have not even mentioned the heating problems
at Helen Baker, lack of space
for paraprofessionals to
work, and space problems at
other schools. I wish I had a
magical solution for community members who feel that
their taxes would be too high
if this bond passes. All I
know is that it would take a
great deal of money to fix up
Helen Baker, and we would
still have space issues. The
longer we wait, the higher the
cost will be.
The school district has the
phrase that “we got to.” To
me, this means that we as
teachers get to teach the students of this community, and
that is an awesome responsibility. Students get to learn
each day, gaining knowledge
and skills. You as community
members get to vote on this
issue and this is an awesome
responsibility, also. I ask you
to give it the consideration it
deserves, ask the questions
and take a look at Helen
Baker and the high school.
We need to get involved; we
need to talk to each other
about this, and we need to
vote. The time is short and
the decision is important. You
get to vote for progress!

DFL’ers turned avian flu into political issue
To the Editor:
The Legislature has a
strong bipartisan tradition of
coming together to help Minnesotans impacted by disasters. Whether it’s flooding,
storms, or any other issue, we
have a long history of putting
politics aside, and helping
Minnesotans in need.
That’s why I was so disappointed that Senate Democrats chose to put politics before the farmers being impacted by the recent avian flu
outbreak. The Senate could
have put a bill on the governor's desk on Tuesday after-
noon, but instead chose to
load up the avian flu response bill with an unrelated
issue, a break from past tradition. Responding to disasters
like the avian flu outbreak
impacting dozens of farmers
in counties across the state is
one area where both parties
typically refrain from slipping in unrelated provisions
or adding amendments.
The House acted in good
faith on Monday, unanimously passing an avian flu response bill to help health officials respond to the avian
flu crisis. Senate Democrats
decided playing politics was
more important, and have delayed this funding until the
bill returns from conference
committee.
Our farmers, state health
officials, and Minnesotans
deserve better than the political games being played by
Senate Democrats. I hope we
can pass a clean avian flu response bill as soon as possible to help address this crisis.

District 18B
Invest in the future of our school district
To the Editor:
As everyone should know
by now, there is a vote coming up in the near future regarding the future of our
schools.
I am a member of the Glencoe-Silver Lake district advisory group. We are a group of
citizens that meet a few times
a year to discuss various
items regarding the district.
Our recent talks have certainly centered around the needs
of the district.
I would like to urge everyone to get out and vote on
May 12. This bond is an investment in our future. It is
needed now. There are issues
that need addressing now.
Let’s not pass these issues off
to our children; let’s instead
invest in the children of the
district. These kids are our
future doctors who will care
for us and our families, our
future architects and contractors who will design and
build our homes and businesses, our future mechanics
who will keep our vehicles
and equipment in safe order,
our future farmers who will
feed us and care for the land
for future generations — the
list could go on and on.
We were unable to pass a
bond earlier. Since then, the
plan has been scaled back,
and is still more expensive
that the original plan. As we
progress in time, the costs
will only go up, and the return on our dollar will lessen.
The current plan is still able
to address current issues,
while attempting to spend the
least amount possible.
I won’t go into the why too
deeply; the information is out
there, if you want to hear
more. Mr. Sonju has made
himself available in person,
over the phone and via e-mail
any time; he has gone out of
his way to get the information
out there. School board members are also happy to answer
any questions there are.
In a nutshell: Helen Baker
is antiquated and spending
money on the building is not
fiscally responsible. We
would move all current Glencoe facilities to one campus,
adding onto the buildings located on the high school site,
on land already owned by the
district, and Lakeside Elementary in Silver Lake would
remain with the same grade
levels. The bond has money
set aside for Lakeside, to
bring minor repairs up to
date. Lakeside is the newest
school in the district, is modern and will remain part of
the district.
Please take the time out of
your schedule to get out and
vote. Your vote does matter.
We are simply out of space,
and our students deserve to
have every opportunity possible while at the Glencoe-Silver Lake School District. We
have a committed staff of educators and an outstanding

city to take care of. We are
blessed to have so many
parks and gardens in Glencoe
to use and enjoy. Roger and I
have also been taking care of
the gardens for a lot of years
to help beautify Glencoe.
There are many gardens in
Glencoe. There is Oscar
Olson Park, Welcome Park,
park by the Temple building,
garden by the liquor store,
south side of the police department, gardens by the Oak
Leaf Park entrance and the
City Center gardens.
As you can imagine, it is a
lot of work for two people to
do. As we are getting older, it
is getting too much for the
two of us. We are asking for
more volunteers; for volunteers to adopt a garden. It
could be someone who lives
near one of the gardens. Or it
could be a group volunteering
to adopt a garden.
If you enjoy gardening, it
would be a nice way to take
By Ron Pulkrabek
Axel Hayford Reed, part III
In 1900, Reed felt there
was a need for a north-south
railroad through Glencoe,
starting at St. Cloud and continuing to Albert Lea, to be
called the “Duluth, St. Cloud,
Glencoe & Mankato Railroad
Co.”
He slowly disposed of his
many enterprises and spent
the next five years trying to
accomplish this project. He
organized engineers, accompanied surveyors, climbed
trees, waded swamps and
streams to try to find the best
route. He traveled east to
New York and Philadelphia
to visit the Vanderbilts and
tried to convince the president of the Illinois Central
Railroad and the New York
Central Railroad to invest in
this venture.
About this time, the rich
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad which was well established, figured out a route
that was shorter, bypassing
Glencoe. With much paperwork shuffling and threats of
lawsuits, Reed and his organizers were compelled to give
in, but not before every
stockholder of the association
was fully reimbursed.
Some of the other endeavors this early Glencoe pioneer
participated in: was a stage
coach driver; raised purebred
Holsteins; with Joseph
Richardson started Mount
Auburn Cemetery (now part
of Glencoe Cemetery);
served as chairman of an
early commission trying to
secure a canal connecting
Lake Superior to the Mississippi; owned a plantation of
nearly 500 acres in Louisiana
and another 160-acre farm in
Chattanooga, Tenn., where he
planned on growing peach
trees. He also wrote the Genealogical Family Record of
the Reeds, Bisbees and Bradfords, 1620-1915.
Axel was a descendent of
Gov. William Bradford of the
Plymouth Colony.
A.H. Reed Mercantile was
located where Hite Hardware
is today. His huge house was
located a few feet to the west,
set back from Franklin Street
(the current 11th Street) with
pride in the city that you call
home and enjoy the outdoors.
Each person or persons
would be volunteering a
small amount of time. It
would be spring cleaning
(which we have already
done), and weeding and disbudding when needed.
Maybe every other week just
to check them. The watering
will be done by the volunteers who water the baskets
when needed. The Boy
Scouts will be doing the City
Center gardens.
We would be happy to help
you get started and when and
if you need extra help. If you
would like to volunteer,
please call Roger or Gloria
Hilgers at 320-864-4174, or
Barbara Woidas at the Glencoe Area Chamber of Commerce, 320-864-3650.

a lawn in front and an open
porch.
It was later used as a Greyhound bus depot with a small
café and eventually a banquet
room was added.
Our class of 1954 had our
fifth class reunion there.
In 1869, Axel Reed married Hannah Morrison. They
had four children: Cora,
Nelly, Axel II and Frank. He
died in January 1917 and is
buried in the Glencoe City
Cemetery.
First, Lt. Reed was awarded an Army “Medal of
Honor,” which is the highest
United States military honor,
awarded for personal acts of
valor above and beyond the
call of duty. Only 1,522 Civil
War Union soldiers of the
2,128,948 that served received this medal. Glencoe
should be very proud of Axel
Hayford Reed!
I know Axel Reed’s greatgrandson, Charlie Reed, from
high school days. He calls me
occasionally, but it is always
a treat when he shows up at
the Happy Hour Café in
Glencoe and knows everyone
and everyone knows Charlie.
He has a great sense of wit
and humor and “livens up”
the place. He has a brother,
Douglas, and a sister, Susanne.
I knew Ed Reed, Axel
Reed’s grandson, who lived
in Silver Lake, a local game
warden for 30 years, an active member of the Silver
Lake Legion Post 141, and a
member of many other organizations in McLeod County.
Ed and Ann (Vacek) Reed
had five children, Edward,
Robert, Cora Ann, Sharon
and Carmen. Carmen is married to Gary Ziemer, Glencoe
city councilman.
Editor’s note: A caller said
the last paragraph in last
week’s column should have
referred to “Koehnen’s Addition,” not Keenan’s Addition.
Mr. Pulkrabek said he used
“The History of Glencoe”
book as his source, which
cited the property as
Keenan’s Addition, and that
perhaps it was an error in the
book. “I’m sure Koehnen is
correct, but can’t prove it
right now,” he said in an email.

Volunteers needed for baskets, gardens
To the Editor:
We need two more volunteers to help with watering
the flower baskets in Glencoe; it is getting to be a big
job for one or two people to
do it.
Last year, we had four people watering. It worked very
well. The job consisted of
about three hours a day for
one week a month from the
end of May to Labor Day. It
would also include occasional
watering of the Glencoe gardens. The parks department
provides the truck for watering.
The baskets have become
the talk of the town. They
have added much beauty to
our downtown. We want to be
proud of our city. It would be
sad not to be able to have the
baskets or nice, well-kept,
blooming gardens. Volunteers
are needed for this type of
work as the parks department
has many other things in our

Myron Henry Seller, 77 of Glencoe
Myron Henry Seller, 77, of
Glencoe, formerly of Hassan
Valley Township, rural
Hutchinson, died Wednesday,
April 1, 2015, at Glencoe Regional Health Services Long
Term Care.
A memorial service
was held
Friday,
April 17, at
P e a c e
Lutheran
Church in
Hutchinson
with
the
Rev. Ger- Myron Seller
hard Bode
officiating. Dr. Joan DeVee
Dixon was the organist.
Soloist Jim Wendling sang

were Samantha Yurek, Gary
Schlueter, Neil Schlueter,
Owen Schlueter, Harmony
Schlueter, Paul Schlueter,
Jamie Schlueter and Ronny
Field.
Interment was in the Oakland Cemetery in Hutchinson.
Myron H. Seller was born
March 22, 1938, in Hutchinson, the son of Edward and
Lena (Burmeister) Seller. He
was baptized as an infant on
May 22, 1938, by the Rev.
W.G. Schulze, and was confirmed in his faith as a youth
on May 24, 1953, by the Rev.
M.G. Kirsch, both at
Frieden’s Lutheran Church
(now Peace Lutheran
Church) in Hutchinson. As a
youth, he completed his
eighth-grade education at
District 56 country school.
After graduating from the
eighth grade, he stayed home
and took on the duties of the
family farm.
On Nov. 7, 1964, he was
united in marriage to Leann
Jager at St. John’s Reformed
Church in rural Biscay. Their
marriage was blessed with
two daughters, Lisa and Amy.
The couple resided together
on a farm in Hassan Valley
Township until Mrs. Seller’s
death on July 27, 1997. They
shared 32 years of marriage.
Mr. Seller was a lifelong
farmer but, after having to retire in the early 1980s from a
long illness, he would help
family, friends and neighbors
with custom work. He didn’t
let the aftereffects of his illness stop him from giving a
helping hand. He was always
concerned about how the
crops were doing or if the hay
was getting made before the
rain came. You could take
him off the farm, but you
couldn’t take the farmer out
of him. He was a lifelong
member of Peace Lutheran
Church in Hutchinson.

Weather Corner
By Jake Yurek
We’ll end April and start May on a high note, with
near-perfect weather through the weekend.
The main flow of storms will continue to be aimed at
our south and warmer weather will be allowed to move
in this week. Highs for the end of the week and weekend
will generally range from the upper 60s to 70s (some
points to our south may see 80). Lows will stay in 40s to
50, so there shouldn’t be any frost worries this week.
Rainfall will continue to fall on locations to our south
which, like I said before, isn’t a good thing as we’re only
making the drought conditions stronger. There will be a
very weak chance of showers Friday and then again Saturday into Sunday. A better chance of rain may come in
late Sunday into Monday, so fingers crossed that one
pans out.
Weekend plans look A-OK, but just keep an eye on
more up-to-date forecasts in the event we do luck out and
get some showers. Have a great first few days of May!
Ma dobry weekendem
Mit dobry vikend
Wednesday night — Lows 40 to 46; clear.
Thursday — Highs 68 to 74, lows 44 to 50; clear.
Friday — Highs 68 to 74, lows 46 to 52; partly
cloudy/scattered showers.
Saturday — Highs 72 to 78, lows 48 to 54; mostly
clear/night shower?
Sunday — Highs 72 to 78; partly cloudy/late showers?
Weather Quiz: How far behind in precipitation (when
compared to normal) are we this year?
Answer to last week’s question (What are some of
May’s weather extremes?): Highest temperature, 106 degrees (May 31, 1934); lowest temperature, 18 degrees
(May 3, 1967); most precipitation 3.16 inches (May 21,
1906); and, the last time I have to mention it until September, most snowfall 3 inches (May 1, 1935, and May
20, 1892).
Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!
