Before a large crowd of family,friends and other well-wishers, 133Glencoe-Silver Lake (GSL) gradu-ates marched across the stage Fri-day night to receive their diplomas.

Class President Patrick Kunkeland High School Principal PaulSparby both addressed the audienceduring the ceremony.

Kunkel noted that graduationmarked the end of students’ tenuresat GSL.

“We have finally made it,” saidKunkel. “Twelve years, 2,064 days,16,512 hours, we have spent inschool so far, which is only a thirdof our lives.”

Kunkel said that while manythink “high school is the best daysof our lives … I think that’s trueonly if you stop trying once youleave. As Mr. Schoper always saidto us, ‘live in the moment, live inthe moment,’ which means to me tofocus on what you are doing andhave no regrets.”

Kunkel offered these words as hisclassmates move on to the nextphase of their lives: “Work hard and

take your hands out of your pocketsso that you can climb the ladder tosuccess, and remember that dreamsand skill will allow you to start, butdrive and determination will carryyou to the end.”

Sparby, who chaperoned the FFAchapter to the national convention,quoted a speaker from the conven-tion, Nick Vujicic, an Australianwho was born with no arms or legs.

“When you see a man speakingwith no arms or legs talking aboutovercoming challenges, his mes-sage carries some clout,” said Spar-by.

One of Vujicic’s quotes that res-onated with Sparby was this: “Mostpeople never reach their full poten-tial because they won’t try becauseof fear.”

Vujicic broke down the word“fear” by letter: False Evidence Ap-pearing Real.

“Think of the number of times weare presented with a challenge andwe decide it would be easier to justnot try than to try and find out wecan’t do it and failed.”

Sparby said people need to havethe courage to fail in order to be

successful in the long run. He alsoquoted former Twins pitcher JackMorris on how parents can helptheir children conquer their fears. “Ijust try to love them (children)

enough where they feel comfortablein failing,” Morris was quoted as

Planning commission gives nod to permit for runwayBy Lori CoplerEditor

The city of Glencoe’s proposedtaxi runway at the municipal airportwas approved by the McLeod Coun-ty Planning Advisory CommissionMay 27, and will now go to theMcLeod County Board of Commis-sioners for final approval on June16.

County Zoning AdministratorLarry Gasow said that while the cityowns the airport property, it is out-side of the city limits.

“That puts it in our jurisdiction,”Gasow said.

The city was required to apply fora conditional use permit because it isgrading and filling a floodplain areato accommodate the taxi runway.

Gasow said the city has purchasedwetlands “bank” property to replacethe floodplain area that will be re-moved as wetlands to accommodatethe project.

Neighbor Curt Templin, a residentin Helen Township, asked aboutdrainage from the runway. Les En-

gelmann, a supervisor on the HelenTown Board, also expressed concernabout drainage. Both noted thatthere had been flooding issues in thearea in recent years.

“You’re putting in three acres ofblacktop, and it’s not going to ab-sorb any water,” said Engelmann.

Shawn McMahon with Short El-liott Hendrickson (SEH), the city’sconsulting engineering firm, said theproject includes an infiltration com-ponent that will hold run-off fromthe runway and slow down its

drainage to Judicial Ditch 8.“The water is delayed so it doesn’t

go straight into the ditch,” saidMcMahon. “The goal is to not addto the flood stage of that ditch.”

Gasow asked about the possibilityof storm water holding ponds, butMcMahon said that is not an optionfor airports.

“Storm water ponds are notlooked favorably upon,” saidMcMahon, “because they attractbirds and other wildlife that couldinterfere with aircraft.”

Gasow said the county’s environ-mentalist was satisfied with thecity’s plans.

Gasow said the matter will nowgo before the McLeod County Boardon June 16 at 10 a.m. Because therewere some concerns raised at theplanning commission, it will be onthe county’s regular agenda, ratherthan on its consent agenda.

The planning commission votedunanimously to recommend ap-proval to the County Board.

Council hearsupdate on parkcampgroundBy Karin Ramige CornwellPublisher

In its normal fashion, the Glen-coe City Council took care of itsbusiness in under 40 minutes Mon-day, June 1.

Park Superintendent Mike Drewreported that the campground proj-ect at Oak Leaf Park is movingalong.

The original quote for the showerfloor was $6,046. Drew sought al-ternative quotes both for an epoxyfloor coating and porcelain tile. Thenew quotes ranged from $3,597 to$4,950.

The lowest quote was from Per-manent Coating Solutions ofMayer. The company did the floorsat 4-Square Builders in Glencoe.Drew said they “really lookednice.”

The Council asked about the ex-pected life span of the surface andif the floor would have somethingto make it a non-slip surface.

Drew reported that given the esti-mated foot traffic of the floor, thelife expectancy would be 15-20years. He added that the surfacewould have some “grit” in the mix-ture to make it a non-slip surface.

City Administrator Mark Larsonadded that there will be some heatin the building over the winter sothere wouldn’t be any freeze/thawissues.

The floor coating is expected tobe put in next week.

Drew also sought quotes for thewater line materials to supply waterto each campsite that ranged from$3,924 to $5,975. The lowest quotewas from Ferguson Water Works ofBlaine. Crews from the city’s pub-lic works department will be able todo the work. The Council approvedthe quote.

It is expected that Drew willcome to the next Council meetingwith quotes for the electrical workfor each campsite. City crews willinstall the electrical conduit in thetrenches dug for the water lines, butthe rest will be contracted out,Drew said.

He also added that the plumbingin the bath house has been roughedin and the doors have arrived andwill be installed this week.

They will start to cut in the indi-vidual pads at each site and haul inthe crushed bituminous material forthe pads.

The Park Board is researchingthe camping for other comparablecampgrounds. The cost to campwill be in the $25-30 per nightrange, Drew said.

The goal is to have the sites com-plete in July before Heat in theStreet.

McLeod Co-op Power As-sociation, along with itswholesale power supplierGreat River Energy, have in-stalled a 20-kW solar array atthe cooperative’s headquar-ters site in Glencoe. The solararray – which generates elec-tricity through panels madeby Bloomington-basedtenKsolar – was energizedFriday, May 22.

The 41-kilowatt direct cur-rent community solar projectowned by McLeod Co-opPower also began producingenergy on the May 22. Ener-gy from both arrays willpower member homes andbusinesses in the immediatearea. Energy produced by thecommunity solar project isowned by co-op memberswho have subscribed to theproject.

“We are happy to have thissolar project installed in ourservice territory,” said CarrieBuckley, general manager ofMcLeod Co-op Power Asso-ciation. “Our members willbenefit from the solar outputas we, along with Great RiverEnergy, learn about the per-formance of solar with this

local project.”In addition to the Glencoe

solar site, Great River Energyis working with 18 othermember cooperativesthroughout the state to con-struct similar solar arrays. Intotal, more than 600 kilowattsof new solar energy installa-tions are expected to be inservice by the fall of 2015.

“These projects are teach-ing us and our member-coop-eratives a lot about how solarperforms and what it takes toplan, finance and execute asolar project,” said GreatRiver Energy senior engineer-ing project manager AndyBergrud. “We are learning alot about the industry in gen-eral with this effort.”

Last year at its headquar-ters building in Maple Grove,Great River Energy complet-ed construction on a 250-kilo-watt solar array. The projectmeasures the performance ofdifferent panel technologies,assesses the benefits of a va-riety of inverters and docu-ments lessons learned whiledesigning, permitting and in-stalling the solar array.

Sadly, it took the threatof a government shut-down to get Gov. Mark

Dayton and the House Repub-lican leadership to strike adeal on education funding.

The Star Tribune reportedTuesday that Dayton gave uphis pet proposal, mandatorypre-kindergarten education for4-year-olds, in exchange forhigher K-12 funding.

Dayton vetoed the originaleducation funding bill becauseit did not include money forpre-kindergarten education.We had expected that hewould hold education fundinghostage until he got his way.

According to the Star Trib-une, Dayton let go of his pre-kindergarten proposal to avoida state shutdown.

“I have no intention to seethis go to a June 30 showdownand a possible shutdown,”Dayton was quoted as saying.“I’m not going to subject peo-ple to that,” referring to 30-day layoff notices that weresent to 9,400 state employeeson Monday.

Well, good for him, but thisall could have been avoided ifhe had simply accepted thedeal struck between legislatorsof both parties prior to his

veto.His idea of preschool for 4-

year-olds has merit, but itneeds to be explored morethoroughly before it is man-dated.

Dayton’s proposal seemspoised to address “educationgap” issues in the metro area.If that is true, then that iswhere the focus should be, nota one-size-fits-all mandate forthe whole state.

And while Dayton haspledged money to support thepreschool program, perhaps itwould be more wise to putthat money toward scholar-ships for families who cannotafford tuition for preschool.

And that’s just the start;Dayton and his proponentsalso need to think about howto fund transportation and fa-cilities for these programs.

The opportunities for pre-school education already existfor those who truly think thatis what is best for their chil-dren. Again, it should be theparents’ choice, not the gov-ernment’s. Let’s figure outhow to work within the exist-ing programs to best meet ourchildren’s needs.

A move is afoot seeking to changethe current $20 bill and replace OldHickory’s face with that of awoman.

Apparently the idea of U.S. Presi-dent Andrew Jackson, accused ofexterminating Florida’s Indian popu-lation, is no longer politically cor-rect. And, proponents claim, womenneed to be recognized for their ef-forts in history, too.

Historical revisionists, and otherbleeding hearts, want to replaceJackson’s mug on the $20 bill withone of several options — RosaParks, who many think started theCivil Rights movement by refusingto give up her seat on a bus to awhite person; Civil War abolitionistHarriett Tubman; former First LadyEleanor Roosevelt; maybe BellaAbzug or … Hillary Clinton.

Maybe we should shoot a littlelower first, like try to change thetwo-dollar bill, which currently hasesteemed President Thomas Jeffer-son’s mug. Not sure what he did todeserve being on the lowly two-dol-lar bill, while hard-drinking Presi-dent U.S. Grant gets his mug on the$50 bill.

Despite being a slave owner andalleged father of children via aslave, Jefferson still maintains highregard in U.S. history. Apparently,his transgressions need not be re-vised, yet.

So this question was asked ofsome coffee buddies, Ole (theSwede), Olaf (the Norwegian) andOlofinpoika (the Finn): Whichwoman would you want on the $20bill if Congress opts to dump An-drew Jackson?

Ole: “Marilyn Monroe.”Uff da!

“What’d she ever do?” I asked.“She made my heart go pitter-pat-

ter,” replied Ole with a grin.Those darn over-sexed Swedes!“Lena. She can make Ole look

pretty stupid,” Olaf laughed.I had to slap my forehead. They

were not thinking very deeply.I, the Olofinpoika, thought

Eleanor Roosevelt would be a goodidea. After all, she was pretty plainlooking, but boy could she talk!Finns like that.

Ole and Olaf slapped their fore-heads in unison. Not sure Olaf evenknew who I was talking about.

The simple survey of three oldwhite guys may not make it scientif-ic, but it was a good sampling of thethree men at Gert & Erma’s thatmorning. The rest of the crowd ex-uded too much estrogen, so wedidn’t even ask them. Couldn’t get aword in edgewise anyway. Theywere talking 100 miles per hour withgusts up to 120.

So women want more recognition,eh?

How about when we put Susan B.Anthony on the silver dollar? Thatthe U.S. Mint made the new silverdollar look exactly like the quarterwas a bit unfortunate. But I didn’t

mind. Whenever I went to the vend-ing machine for a 75-cent candy bar,chances were I would get a Susan B.Anthony dollar in return. What acountry, spreading the wealth onevending machine at a time!

Or how about the Sacagawea dol-lar coin that is gold in color, but stillabout the size of a quarter and aboutas rare as a two-dollar bill. Now thatI think of it, I can’t remember thelast time I saw either one in circula-tion?

Why was Sacagawea selected?Because she was on the famousLewis and Clark expedition in theearly 1800s as a guide. Apparently,even then, men were hesitant to stopand ask for directions.

I think Americans should followthe lead of our neighbors to thenorth. The Canadians replaced theirpaper money with coins, which lastlonger. Only they put animals andbirds on their currency. The one-dol-lar coin is affectionately known as a“Loonie” because of the loon on oneside. The two-dollar coin is the“Twoonie.”

The problem? It is difficult to foldthese coins in a wallet. And if youaccumulate quite a few, a woman’spurse would weigh even more and aman’s pants would sag even lower.

But it might cure the trend ofyoung guys with their pants hangingso low they defy gravity. A fewLoonies and Twoonies would tip thebalance toward gravity.

But then we’d really get a view!That would be beyond an “Uff da”and require an “OMG!”

Move is afoot for a new face on $20 bill

Rich Glennie

To the Editor:Back in 1987, there was a movie

produced called “Wall Street.” Itfeatured a character named GordonGekko, who preached a gospelcalled “Greed is Good.” He sacri-ficed everything to make money —yes, he was nefarious and manipu-lated the money regardless of whowas hurt. He was always borderline

with SEC and other regulatory agen-cies.

Michael Douglas played Gordonand one of his young disciples wasplayed by Charlie Sheen. Charliecame from a worker’s backgroundand his father belonged to a unionwho had a pension fund. Gordonwas going to use this pension fundto make money for him, but destroy

the people who had contributed to itfor years. Sound familiar? At anyrate, young Charlie snitched on Gor-don to the regulatory agencies andGordon spent time in jail as a resultof his actions. The fair people in theaudience applauded this action. Pen-sion fund was saved.

Fast forward to 2015. Does any-thing about the above scenario

sound familiar? It has happened inreal life. The difference is the“banks were too big to fail” and no-body did any jail time. Millions ofpeople were hurt in the recession of2007 and after. Banks were bailedout — the common people losteverything and no one bailed themout. Because over the years, thepolicies that favored the wealthy

were consistently implemented be-cause one of the parties manipulatedthe vote and money. We, the people,are still doing it. Consistently theparty of tax breaks and minimalgovernment gets voted in — to thepeople’s detriment.

(Continued from lastweek).

Concerns by parents thatminors were being served 3.2beer because people of allages came to dances at theSilver Lake Ballroom causedcounty officials to request theDostals to separate the barfrom the dance floor withnetted chicken wire. Variousversions of old laws stated itwas illegal for the bar floor totouch the dance floor if beerwas sold. The Dostals put upa half-wall with chicken net-ting wire on the top half. Acop was at the ticket booth;dancers to the right, adultdrinkers to the left. Beingyoung, I always went to theright.

Drinkers in the bar couldsee the dance floor and listento the music very nicely andtalk to the girls through thechicken wire. If they wantedto dance they had to go downa long netted chicken wirehallway, past the cop and findtheir dance partner.

This worked fine for abouta year. Then the county offi-cials withdrew the Dostals’liquor license. This more orless put them out of business.Ethel and Jerry contactedother ballroom owners andwaged many legal battles allthe way to the State SupremeCourt. The Ballroom ownerswon!

They felt the processcaused hard feelings againstthem in the area. Althoughthey had offers from othertowns, they chose to relocatein Glencoe, where it is today.

In 1956, on Thanksgivingeve, the last dance wasplayed at the Silver Lake Pla-Mor. A main building hadbeen started in Glencoe. TheDostals removed two wholeside sections, 20 by 115 feet,of the old Pla-Mor, and trans-ported them to Glencoe.

They found the bridge eastof Biscay didn’t have enoughclearance. They bypassed thebridge, using bulldozers tolevel new frozen approacheson each side of the ice-cov-ered river and headed for

Glencoe. The old sections,the bar area and the southbooth area were attached tothe new building. Thirty dayslater, on Christmas Dayevening, the first dance washeld at the new Pla-Mor inGlencoe. The nice floor, asyou see it today, hadn’t beeninstalled; they danced on therough sub-floor.

The Dostals also opened upan attached 12-lane bowlingalley. Jerry was no longertraveling, so he managed thebowling alley, arranged bowl-ing teams and tournaments,and even climbed on the pinmachines when they jammed.

While Jerry was on theroad playing other engage-ments, Ethel continued to bethe Ballroom Association’ssecretary for 23 years, contin-ued booking bands at theGlencoe Pla-Mor (sometimesfour in a week), arranged spe-cial bands, arranged Jerry’sband schedules, took phonecalls for booth reservations,sold tickets, checked coats,collected booth rents and al-ways made sure the four bar-tenders looked professionalin their high white aprons.Ethel was a very efficientmanager.

In 1960, Ethel arranged forGuy Lombardo and his RoyalCanadian Band to perform inGlencoe with Guy, Victor,Carmen, and Lebert Lombar-do playing. Ethel had to findtwo pianos and have a pianotuner on hand during the per-formance. Tickets were$3.50.

People liked Guy and his“Sweetest Sound of MusicThis Side of Heaven.” It hada superb tempo with a steadyunobtrusive beat that made ita pleasure to dance to, even ifyou didn’t know how todance. “Baby Face,” “Boo-Hoo,” “Sweethearts on Pa-rade,” “Seems Like OldTimes,” and “Give Me a Lit-tle Kiss” were the most popu-lar. The Lombardos com-posed over 500 songs, playedin well-known theaters andplayed at the Roosevelt Hotelin New York for 36 years.

Lombardo’s “Auld LangSyne” is sung by 55 millionpeople every New Year ’sEve.

In 1974, the Pla-Mor Ball-room was sold to LavernEbel, who sold it to Merv andGina Jefferson in 1976. Justsix months after purchasingthe ballroom, it caught on fireand created a terrible messwhich cost $200,000 to re-pair. To this day, the beautifuloriginal 58-year old 50- by124-foot floor has never hada coating put on it; just pol-ished smooth by thousands ofhappy polka shoes.

During the last 38 years,Merv and Gina have workedevery weekend, every holi-day, days and nights, manytimes until 3 a.m. Theyserved large delicious mealsto crowds of hundreds ofpeople with Merv doing mostof the cooking. Over theyears, they hosted thousandsof meals and dances for sur-rounding fire departments,Lions, Knights of Columbus,Dairy Days, Pork Producers,Buffalo dinner, BrowntonRod and Gun Club, GlencoeCo-op, REA, Green Giant,Wacker Implement, etc.

Merv and Gina tried togive a mixture of bands otherthan polka bands, includingThe Big Bopper, The GreatPretenders, Guy Lombardo,Rockin’ Hollywoods, JulesHerman, Johnny Holm, etc.They now host a polka bandat Pla-Mor every Sunday af-ternoon.

Every polka band within a200-mile radius has played atPla-Mor including WhoopeeJohn, Fezz Fritsche, the SixFat Dutchmen, Erwin Suess,Johnny Helget, The JollyLumberjacks, Cousin Fuzzyand hundreds more. Namethe band and they played atthe Pla-Mor Ballroom. JerryDostal’s recording of the“Hupie Shoepie” polka is myfavorite. Hum a few versesand it will make your day gobetter!

Jerry was inducted into theMinnesota Music Hall ofFame in 1997.

Council Continued from page 1

In other business, theCouncil:

• Approved a request to re-move a residential sidewalkin the 1800 block of Judd Av-enue.

The sidewalk runs from18th Street north to housenumber 1807, and is in poorcondition. Drew said he sawno issues in removing thesidewalk. The sidewalk wasnot extended as houses wereadded on the street.

Council Member GaryZiemer asked who is respon-

sible for paying for the re-moval. Drew said the residen-tal sidewalk removal wouldbe the responsibility of theproperty owner.

Larson added that city ordi-nance requires Council ap-proval before removing asidewalk.

Council Member AllenRobeck asked if Drew wouldmake sure the boulevard wasleveled out and to remind thehomeowner to be careful ofthe water shut-offs.

• Approved the release of a

blanket easement for lot num-ber 2 in Glen Knoll Park.

Larson explained that in the1950s when the park was es-tablished, Willard Haukosgranted a blanket easementon the property. Individualeasements have been plottedfor city utilities.

The city has released theblanket easement on individ-ual lots as they have beensold at the request of the titlecompanies.

Here we are, looking at aspecial session because theparty of tax breaks was will-ing to sacrifice the welfare ofthe next generation so theywould bestow tax breaks tothe corporations and to thebenefit of the 1 percent. Chil-dren at age 4 are hungry forinformation — just think ofall they have learned alreadyand at the age, their mindswant to learn. If all children,age 4, have an equal chanceto develop and learn, everydollar spent in doing this willpay back $8 to society. Statis-

tics have shown this to betrue. Pretty good return on in-vestment, I would say. Thechances of the next genera-tion to be successful, particu-larly in this technologicalworld, will be greatly in-creased. Society would bene-fit. Children would benefit.Families would benefit.

Transportation and bondingbills proposed because of lowinterest rates would benefitthe business world far morethan tax breaks. Transporta-tion is necessary for the flowof commerce. Farmers and

business people would attestto that. The crumbs of taxbreaks that the great majorityof the people would realizereally won’t change theirlives in any significant way.It’s the big corporations thatreally don’t need any helpthat benefit. Again, we aredoing it to ourselves.

Come on, people — lookout for yourselves and yourlives — corporations are cer-tainly not going to do it foryou.

Bike-a-Thon winnersThe Brownton Fire Department awardedthe winners in its May bike-a-thon (thosewho raised the most money) on Sundayevening. Those who raised the most ineach age category received a new bicy-cle, courtesy of the Brownton Lions Club,while the second-place finishers received$50 gift cards. From left to right are MaxHansch, tied for second place for secondand third graders; Ava Hoffman, first

place for kindergarten and first graders;Nicole Duehn, first, and Caleb Lindeman,tied for second, second and thirdgraders; and Jasmine Knick, first, andAlyssa Zelman, second, fourth throughsixth graders. The bike-a-thon raisedabout $2,830 for the fire department, andwill be used for equipment and trainingpurposes.


Members of the BrowntonCity Council and its consult-ing engineer were both sur-prised and disappointed thatonly two people turned outfor its public hearing on itsproposed multi-million dollarimprovement project Tuesdaynight, May 26.

John Rodeberg of Short El-liott Hendrickson (SEH), thecity’s engineering firm, saidthat low turnouts at suchhearings are not unusual, butthey typically draw more thana couple of people.

The city is proposing near-ly $7 million in infrastructureand road improvements in2016 and 2017, with morework to be done in the future.The scope of the project willimpact every sector of thecity.

Rodeberg said that assess-ment hearings will probablydraw a far larger crowd, sincethat is when people find outthe financial impact on theirproperty taxes.

Resident Greg Rolandersaid he had reviewed thecity’s proposed plans andthought they were wellthought out, but also ex-pressed disappointment thatmore of the town’s citizensfailed to come to the hearing.

Although the city is pro-posing a large number of im-provements, it probably willnot do all of them, said Rode-berg.

Rodeberg said the cityneeds to include all potentialimprovements in its plan inorder to qualify for fundingthrough the United States De-partment of Agriculture

(USDA) Rural Developmentprogram. However, he said,the USDA will want the cityto prioritize its improvementsso that most dire needs aretaken care of while still al-lowing the city to operatewhile making payments.

“We’ll modify the plansafter these meetings,” saidRodeberg. “The USDA wantsto make sure you haveenough money to pay for allof your needs.”

The city could qualify forup to 35 percent in grantfunding for sanitary sewerimprovements, which wouldalso include the street surfaceabove the sanitary sewer. Therest of the financing would bein low-interest loans.

Rodeberg said the improve-ments will be done in phasesin order to attract lower bids.Spreading out the work overa couple of years, he said,will allow more contractorsthe opportunity to bid. Manysmaller companies will notbid on large projects becausethey simply don’t haveenough help to do the work,Rodeberg explained.

“The goal is to spread it outand do it as economically aspossible,” Rodeberg said.

Rodeberg said the city hassanitary sewer, water mainand storm sewer issues.

Much of the sanitary seweris clay tile “with numerousbreaks” that allow storm andground water to infiltrate thesystem. In addition, Rodebergsaid, much of the tile hasshifted, creating gaps be-tween tile segments thatallow more water into thesystem.

As for the water system,

Rodeberg said many of themains are 4-inch pipes thatwere put in during 1972.They are both too small fortoday’s needs, as well asbeing past their expected 40-year life span.

The city also has severalblocks of storm sewer that are“close to collapsing,” Rode-berg said. And, like the sani-tary sewer system, the tile hasbeen penetrated by tree rootsand has open joints caused bytile shifting.

The first phase of the proj-ect will be the “open-cut”work, said Rodeberg, mean-ing that streets will actuallybe dug up to replace sewerand water mains. That willlikely take place in 2016.

The second phase will be“trenchless” repairs, primari-ly in alleys. That phase willinclude the lining of pipingand tiles in alleys. Rodebergsaid the city has enough otherutilities running through al-leys, such as electrical andphone lines, to make thetrenchless repairs more desir-able as they won’t disturb theother utilities.

That phase will likely takeplace in 2017, Rodeberg said.

The third phase will bedone in about 2021 or later,and involves utility workunder county-owned roadswithin the city limits. Rode-berg said the county has im-proved some of those roads inthe past few years, and thecity doesn’t want to dig upgood road surfaces unless it’sreally necessary.

Long-range plans are towork on the lift stations andthe water tower, Rodebergadded.

Crowd of 2 turns out forBrownton public hearing

Temperatures will rise back to normal this week andyou guessed it: a couple more chances of rain.

Our May rainfall totals ended up ranging from 5-7inches (about 3 inches above normal). Our yearly totalalso is back ahead of normal a little bit, which has greatlyhelped our drought conditions. Most of the state is stillconsidered abnormally dry or in a moderate drought, butan area just to the north (Meeker, Kandiyohi) is officiallydrought free. This is a huge improvement, seeing not toolong ago the entire state was considered either moderateor severe drought.

Highs may crack 80 Thursday before a cold frontslides through and cools things off Friday and Saturday.Highs for the weekend will be pleasant in the 70s withlows in the 50s.

Our best chances of rain will come in late Wednesdayinto Thursday and again late Saturday into Sunday. Satur-day should be mostly dry, so if you have plans it shouldbe a pleasant day. Sunday is up in the air, but signs pointto at least some rain. Enjoy the first week of June, every-one!

Ma dobry weekendem Mit dobry vikend

Wednesday night — Lows 54-60; partly cloudy, earlyshowers.

Thursday — Highs 75-81, lows 53-59; partly cloudy,early showers.

Weather Quiz: What are some of June’s weather ex-tremes?

Answer to last week’s question (What is a derecho?): Aderecho is also known as a “bow echo” severe thunder-storm. These events typically form during the hottest por-tions of summer (July) at the boundary between hot andmuggy air and cooler air to the north. It’s a wide line ofstorms (in the shape of a bow) that can produce winds inexcess of 100 miles per hour! The most famous one inMinnesota was the Boundary Waters blow-down that de-stroyed a huge area of land in northern Minnesota. Theycan be extremely long lived as well … the Boundary Wa-ters derecho almost survived all the way to the AtlanticOcean!

Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!

In all the world we shallnot find a heart so wonder-ful and kind. So soft avoice, so sweet a smile, aninspiration so worth while.Little did we know whenwe awoke, the sorrow theday would bring. The callso sudden, the shock so se-vere, to part with the onewe loved so dear. Beautifulmemories you left in ourheart, for each day of ourlife we’re apart. with acompassion so true, sodeep; a love so beautiful tokeep. Do not ask us if wemiss him – Oh there’s sucha vacant place. Often wethink we hear his footstepsand we see his smilingface. Days of sadness stillcome o’er us. Tears in si-lence often flow. Memorykeeps him ever near us,since he left 29 years ago.
