Rhonda Kaczmarek and daughter, Chris Brecht, pur-chased and reloacted Joan Paulson’s costume shop,“Grandma’s Closet,” to the old Slanga hardware building

Silver Lake has be-come a little morefashionable with the

recent relocation and changein ownership of the well-known costume shop,Grandma’s Closet.

The shop, which wasstarted 10 years ago by JoanPaulson, changed hands thisspring when Darrell andRhonda Kaczmarek and theirdaughter and son-in-law,Chris and Jared Brecht,joined forces and purchasedthe business.

They relocated the businessto the old SlangaHardware/Ziemer building,located on Lake Avenue andMain Street, behind the cur-rent Silver Lake Leader of-fice.

“I always thought it’d befun to own a costume shop,and when we saw Joan adver-tising the business in thepaper, Darrell said, ‘Well,want to go for it?’” RhondaKaczmarek said.

“I was kind of thinkingalong the same lines when Isaw it advertised, and talkedwith Jared about it,” Chris

Brecht said. “We didn’t know Mom and

Dad were looking at it until itwas brought up at the busi-ness association meeting,”Brecht said.

“That’s when we decidedto talk about owning it to-gether. It’s actually prettynice to have both of us run-ning it, so that there’s moreavailability for appoint-ments,” Kaczmarek said.

Rhonda Kaczmarek worksfull time at Sumter MutualInsurance Company in SilverLake and Chris Brecht is em-ployed full time as an insur-

ance agent at Citizens Insur-ance Agency in Hutchinson,so the business is open by ap-pointment only.

“Since I work in SilverLake a block from the cos-tume shop, my schedule isflexible to meet people, andin October, when it is closerto Halloween and busier,we’ll try to be open nightsand weekends,” RhondaKaczmarek said.

The costume shop hasmore than enough costumes,

County Board votes3-2 to support SecondAmendment resolutionBy Lori CoplerStaff Writer

The McLeod County Boardof Commissioners voted 3-2 infront of a full house Tuesdaymorning to support a resolu-tion that “will prevent federalinfringement on the right tokeep and bear arms; nullifyingall federal acts in violation ofthe Second Amendment to theConstitution of the UnitedStates.”

Commissioner Jon Chris-tensen brought the resolutionto the County Board, sayingthat “nullification” is an act ofpushing back when “the fed-eral government expands lawbeyond the boundaries of theconstitution.”

While all five commission-ers indicated their support ofthe Second Amendment, thesplit vote was based on theirinterpretation of whether theCounty Board should wadeinto a federal and state issue.

County Attorney MikeJunge told the Board that itsauthority was created by statestatute, and that it was taskedwith administering countygovernment, which should beits focus.

“There is nothing in thestatutes that gives you the au-thority to be entering into thisfight, and it’s one you shouldstay out of,” said Junge, whoargued that support of theCounty Board of the resolutioncould open the door to its par-ticipation in other issues, suchas abortion, gay marriage andthe gold standard.

But Duncan Cameron, a res-ident of Rich Valley Township,argued that government startsfrom the bottom and goes up.

“It’s local to county to stateto federal,” said Cameron, not-ing that there were individualstates before there was a unionof states. “We, the individuals,have the jurisdiction of federal

government.”And Commissioner Ron

Shimanski said that part ofeach commissioner’s oath of-fice was a pledge to uphold theConstitution.

“We made a pledge to theConstitution, not to the laws,rules and statutes that cameafter it,” said Shimanski.

Commissioners Kermit Ter-linden and Paul Wright, whoboth avowed that they are avidsportsmen and SecondAmendment supporters, indi-cated that they did not feel thatthe County Board was theplace to take on the issue.

Terlinden said that anychange to the Second Amend-ment would have to come atthe federal level, and would re-quire stringent votes forchange.

“It truly does take an act ofCongress,” said Terlinden,who pointed out that it takes atwo-thirds vote in each cham-ber and a three-fourths vote ofstates to change an amend-ment.

“I don’t think it’s up to thefive people sitting here tomake this decision,” said Ter-linden, who added that if therewas a push to change theamendment, “I would be thefirst in line” in the fight againstit.

Rosalind Kohls of Glencoesaid that the resolution is notasking to change the SecondAmendment, “but to uphold it.I would think you should beable to do that.”

“I do not feel the CountyBoard needs to go there,” saidWright of his stance on theissue. “We don’t have the au-thority by statute.”

But Wright also said that heis a member of the NationalRifle Association and a strong

County attorney report: recession impacts crime statisticsBy Lori CoplerStaff Writer

The economy continues toimpact the number of felonyconvictions both statewide andin McLeod County, the CountyBoard of Commissionerslearned at its April 30 meeting.

McLeod County AttorneyMike Junge gave his annual re-port, noting that the number offelony convictions in thecounty in 2011, the latest yearavailable, was 94, as comparedto a peak of 141 felony convic-tions in 2007.

It was 2008, Junge said,when the current economic re-cession started, which resultedin the dip of felony charges

and convictions.“Crimes involving drugs, al-

cohol, sex and gambling makeup 90 to 95 percent of thecriminal acts” prosecuted byhis office, said Junge.

One would assume thatcrime would increase duringhard economic times, but theopposite is true.

“At least three of those —drugs, alcohol and gambling— take money,” said Junge.“And when people don’t havethe money to spend, the crimesgo down.”

But overall, the number offelony crimes prosecuted byhis office has risen dramati-cally since he was first elected

in 1982, Junge said.In 1982, the McLeod

County Attorney’s Office pros-ecuted 30 felonies.

Part of the reason is whatJunge referred to as criminalinflation — crimes that weremisdemeanors in 1982, such asdriving under the influence,can now be gross misde-meanors or even felonies, de-pending on the applicablelaws.

In 2012, drug offenses ledthe county’s felony and grossmisdemeanor adult criminalcharges with a total of 53. Nexthighest was assault chargeswith 41, which Junge indicatedwas another indicator of the

economy — more crimesoccur in the home becausepeople don’t get out as much.

There were 30 theft chargesand 27 driving while impairedoffenses.

Of all criminal charges filed,including felonies, gross mis-demeanors and petty misde-meanors, there were 176 malescharged and 68 females.

Junge said there always hasbeen a wide gap in genderwhen it comes to criminalcharges, because males seemto mature later.

“Part of my job is to see thatmales get through to their 27thor 28th birthdays, becauseafter that age they don’t re-

peat,” said Junge.Along with prosecuting

criminal cases, the attorney’soffice also handles legal issuesfor Social Services, such asparental rights, guardianshipand conservatorship, child pro-tection and issues involvingthe mentally ill; appeals ofcriminal convictions; real es-tate tax appeals; highway de-partment easements,right-of-way and other legal is-sues; and any civil lawsuitsfiled against the county.

In other business April 30,the County Board:

• Bought another mobile re-cycling collection trailer forthe Solid Waste Department at

a cost of $22,245, which couldbe stationed in various com-munities during town celebra-tions as a place to depositrecyclables. The Board agreedto spend another $3,000 ongraphics for the trailer. Bothwill be paid for through theabatement fee fund.

• Bought 15 additional recy-cling baskets for a total cost of$20,250 to accommodate theincrease in material beingbrought to the Solid Waste Fa-cility. That cost also will bepaid for through the abatementfee fund.

and for all occasions.Kaczmarek and Brecht said

Joan Paulson had outfittedschool plays, local theatergroups, themed parties and,of course, Halloween.

“We plan on doing thesame. Just last month, we puttogether Kenny Rogers andDolly Parton costumes for acouple going to a themedparty. And last week, wefound a bright orange ‘Dumband Dumber’ suit for some-one participating in theHutchinson Hockey Associa-tion auction bidding,” Kacz-marek said.

Brecht said they also pro-vided costumes for an after -prom “Western” photo shootat Lester Prairie High School.

“We have everything. Promdresses,’60s, ’70s, and ’80sclothes. Military uniforms,old band uniforms, disco cos-tumes and tuxes,” Kaczmareksaid.

“We have 1920s flapperstuff, too, and, of course,kids’ costumes. Lots and lotsof kids’ costumes,” Brechtsaid.

The pair also said they havemore than clothes. “Joan dida good job of purchasing andcollecting accessories. Wehave tons of accessories thatreally complete the costumes.Shoes, wigs, hats, jewelry,you name it,” Kaczmareksaid.

Kaczmarek and Brecht,with the help of their hus-bands, and other family mem-bers, spent three Saturdaysmoving the costume shopfrom Paulson’s home to theold Slanga Hardware/Ziemer building in town.

“Joan had a 30-foot by 40-foot pole shed filled with cos-tumes, so we had to rent astorage shed just to help geteverything organized as wemoved.

“It was fun moving, be-cause every time we lookedthrough a bag, it seemed we’dfind a fun costume surprise,”Kaczmarek said.

“I’m really looking forwardto meeting people and help-ing put together costumes.

“I’ve been using Google alot just to look up costumes— to get all the details right,like those Kenny Rogers andDolly Parton costumes. Wereally want the costumes tobe authentic,” Brecht said.

Kaczmarek and Brecht said

they plan on hosting a grandopening event sometime inOctober.

Although the grand totalwas less than last year, it stillamounted to 99,865 pounds offood. This will supply food for78,819 meals; in 2012, wesupplied food for 354,426meals!

Everyone deserves a bigthank you for all that you do-nated to make this drive a bigsuccess. Without everyone’shelp, the food shelf would notbe able to help all the manyneedy families of McLeod

County that we do.The success of the March

drive shows what a wonderfulcounty we live in. Everyone’shelp to feed the individuals inneed is greatly appreciated.The tears and hugs of appreci-ation tell the whole story.

Mother’s Day is rightaround the corner, and notonly do I have one wonderfulmother to celebrate, but twograndmas who have been verymuch like mothers to me in thelast three years of living in Sil-ver Lake.

Both are exceptionally kindand giving, and I am so thank-ful to have them in my life.

Grandma Genny is oftenbuzzing around town, volun-teering for activities at CedarCrest, helping out friends inneed, or taking great-grandpaand great-grandma to appoint-ments. And she never fails tostop into the Leader office fora quick hug or to drop offwarm kolaches.

She’s always there to makesure I take care of my noisyJeep, or to drive me into thecities for clinic visits, or toschedule a Bloody Mary forSaturday morning.

And she’s the one who gotme into “Um pa pa” musicwhen she invited me for anight out at the Legion to hearJimmy and Jerry play, not tomention, she’s the one whotaught me to two-step andeven waltz.

So, of course, it was no sur-prise when she asked me to theFaith Presbyterian polka serv-ice last Sunday.

Needless to say, therewasn’t any room in the pew totwo-step, but we managed togroove to the good ol’ polkatunes, courtesy of Jim’s Brew-ers.

I’ve never seen a pew shakeso much during church — noteven from an extreme episodeof the “church giggles.”

My Grandma Alice is also a

music lover, and she and Iturned dish duty into a karaokesession of Hank Williams andJohnny Cash songs last Satur-day.

Occasionally, I spend a cou-ple days at my GrandmaAlice’s farm to enjoy the quietcountry life, indulge in herchewy, homemade molassescookies, and to spend timewith my brother, Nick, whilehe’s there.

Grandma Alice is also will-ing to help me out wherever,whether it be researching mi-graine home remedies in her“doctor book,” lending me herBuick when I have vehicletrouble (haha), or concoctingan olive oil/egg treatment forwhen I yearn for shiny hair.

After supper on Saturday,she and I cleaned up the tableand started on dishes when wegot to talking about countrywestern music.

I told her Dad had intro-duced me to the classics whenhe’d sing “There’s a Tear inMy Beer” while getting readyfor work, or when I’d hear“Jambalaya, crawfish pie, onthe bayou” from the garage.

Naturally, she and I startedin chorus with “Hey, GoodLookin’” and then continuedright into Johnny Cash with“Folsom Prison Blues.”

I’ve never really danced be-fore while doing the dishes, so

that was a first when grandmaand I shuffled along to ourown melodies. We had moreroom than in a pew at church,that’s for sure.

And then she told me sheloved “Achy Breaky Heart”by Billy Ray Cyrus, and im-mediately, I was brought backto the fourth-grade when myfriend Elizabeth and I tapedBilly Ray’s music video andlearned the entire line dancingroutine.

Grandma suggested we takeup a line dancing class, and sonow I have to go get me a pairof cowboy boots and startkickin’.

So yes, I am having quitethe time coming back to my“roots” in Silver Lake, and Iam so thankful I still have afew grandparents alive whoare always teaching me thetricks of the trade — whetherit’s that having a Bloody Marywith good friends is the ulti-mate way to end a work weekor that a can of beer is the besttreatment for dry hair.

Here’s to all the mothers thisspecial day — grandmothers,aunts, sisters. Happy Mother’sDay! May you all enjoy yourspecial day!

Maybe you want to have aspa day, and treat yourselvesto a nice yolk/olive oil hairmask or a few dances at thelocal bar. You won’t regret it.

The Glencoe-Silver Lakebaseball team has now won fivestraight games after losing 16-0against Holy Family more than aweek ago.

The bats woke up and so hasthe Panther defense, allowingthree or fewer runs in all fivegames while scoring 33 in thesame span. The Panthers are 5-1overall, and 3-0 in the West divi-sion of the Wright County Con-ference.

GSL 4, Belle Plaine 1

Down one run in the first in-ning with two outs, Ethan Maasstook a suicide lead from thirdbase and looked at Belle Plaine’sGavin Dauwalter as if to say,“Come get me. I dare you.”

While Dauwalter didn’t seemto be in a daring mood, Maasswas. He stole home on the sec-ond pitch to Reed Dunbar, tyingthe game at 1-1. The Panthers fedoff the senior’s gutsy move, andwon the game 4-1 on April 30.

Junior Josh Schmidt was hav-ing his way on the mound forGSL, despite a first-inningpassed ball, which resulted inCameron Klehr scoring theTigers’ lone run.

GSL went up 2-1 in the sec-ond, and 4-1 in the third afterDunbar batted in Maass andColton Lueders with a single toshallow center.

Offense heats up behind a stingy defense

Boys are stuck in last placeBy Josh RandtSports Editor

Even with a second-to-lastplace finish at the Annandalescramble last week, the Pan-ther girls’ golf team is startingto turn into a tight-knit groupon the course.

Ashlyn Ratike and ClaireWraspir shot a 48. Allie Eis-chens and Lizzy Gran weretwo strokes behind with a 50,while Lindsay Wedin andJenna Lokensgard were twostrokes behind them with a 52.

***Last week in Litchfield,

Glencoe-Silver Lake tied forninth with Delano, out of 11teams, with a 217.

What’s promising is that thegirls’ individual scores areclose to one another.

Alexis Kerslake was the topPanther golfer, shooting a 52and finishing the WCC meet in20th place.

Ratike shot a 54 andbounced back from a 64-strokeperformance on the back nineat Hutchinson. Wraspir andGran trailed closely behindwith 55 and 56 stroke perform-ances, respectively.

Wedin turned in a 59 whileEischens shot a 66.

***GSL hosted its WCC meet

on the cold and windy after-noon of May 2.

The meet counted as twonine-hole events, and served asthe first practice on the girls’

home course thus far. “We have gone from winter

weather to our meet schedulewithout a practice on the golfcourse,” head coach Scott Eck-hoff said. “Today should beour first practice on the golfcourse.”

The Panthers took eighthplace outright on the front ninewith a 215, and tied for thesame position with Mound onthe back nine at 223.

Kerslake turned in the topteam score for both events witha 53 on the front and 52 on theback.

Wraspir earned the second-best scores on the day, finish-ing the front nine with 54strokes, and the back with 56.

Gran tied Kerslake on thefront, but turned in a 60 on thelatter half of the course.

Ratike started out fine witha 55, but ran into trouble dur-ing the second event, shootinga 75.

Wedin took 56 strokes toclose out the first event whilefinishing up the back half withone more stroke at 57.

Eischens had a less-thanstellar performance shooting a64 during the first event. Shewould come back and shoot a58 to cap off her day.

GSL is currently ranked sev-enth in the WCC out of 11schools.

Kerslake is the top-ratedgolfer for the team, ranked29th in the conference.

Staff ‘Panther Paws’For their dedication and kindness to the students, aswell as to the remaining staff, Rostina Aguilar andStephanie Freund were chosen for the staff “PantherPaws” award recipients for the month of April. Theawards were announced at the Lakeside Elementaryall-school meeting last Friday morning.

I don’t really want to mention it, but it was unbelievablethat Southeast Minnesota saw up to 18 inches of snow justlast week! Thank goodness that mess decided to stay downthere; we have seen our fair share of late season snow.

This week started out fantastic — highs in the lower 70swas just what the doctor ordered. We’ll stay right aroundaverage as we move into mid to late week.

A couple storm systems will enter the picture for theupper Midwest late week with the first passing throughWednesday, and the second late Friday into early Saturday.Rain and scattered thunder could be possible with eachblast, but not everyone will see it, so we’ll have to see howthings line up.

Behind the Friday-Saturday frontal system, we will, un-fortunately, cool down heading into the weekend, keepinghighs only in the 50s Saturday. Sunday things improveslightly with highs in the lower 60s, maybe.

The cool-down will be short-lived as we head into earlynext week as temperatures ramp back up with anotherchance of rain around Tuesday. My advice this week … getout and enjoy one of our six weeks of summer (just kid-ding, but it feels like that sometimes).

Have a great week all!Ma dobry weekendem Mit dobry vikend

Wednesday night — Lows 48-54; showers/thunder.Thursday — Highs 62-68; lows 40-46; early

showers/mostly cloudy.Friday — Highs 62-68; lows 40-46; partly cloudy/night

showers or thunder.Saturday — Highs 52-58; lows 33-39; early rain/clouds,

breezy.Sunday — Highs 68-64; clear.Weather Quiz: How is the severe weather season shaping

up?Answer to last week’s question: We’re moving in the

right direction. Most of the state is still in some kind of adrought, but it loosened its grip a bit. Officially, we are stillin a moderate drought with severe not too far away to oursouthwest. Southeast Minnesota is the only part of the statenot in a drought category, as it has seen a lot of precipita-tion lately. Most of the others parts of the state are in aslight or abnormally dry drought.

Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!

With planting season underway, the McLeod CountyHighway Department is ask-ing landowners not to en-croach on highway right ofway when working the fieldsthis spring.

Highway right of way in-cludes driving lanes, insideand outside shoulders, ditches,the clear zone and sigh cor-ners at intersections. Utilitypoles and pedestals serve asgood indicators of right-of-way limits because they aretypically located at the outeredge of road right of way.

Sight corners at an interse-tion of two roads are espe-cially susceptible to visualobstructions created by un-lawfully planted crops, espe-cially corn.

Utility companies are per-mitted to use highway right ofway to install gas lines, powerlines, telephone lines, andfiber optic cable. Plowing andtilling can damage these linesunder the ground and causepossible service interruptions.

Plowing, tilling, and plant-ing within highway right ofway violates state law M.S.160.2715. The violation is amisdemeanor punishable by amaximum $1,000 fine and/or90 days in jail.

The Highway Departmentplans to monitor the right ofway and notify landowners ofany violation. The notice mayrequest the responsible personto remove the planted cropand re-establish the affectedarea with permanent, non-crop vegetation at their ownexpense. If the request is notmet, the complaint will beturned over to the Sheriff’sDepartment for a potentialmisdemeanor ticket.

The Highway Departmentmay make any correctionsnecessary and assess costs tothe responsible person.

If the landowner is unsureof the right of way boundary,they are encouraged to contact320-484-4321 for assistance.
