son matter, then we’re goingto keep talking past eachother.” These are challenges,but they’re hardly insur-mountable — especially if welearn to put ourselves in oth-ers’ shoes.

As you read this speech, it’shard to avoid a sense of thebasic strength of our country.There’s a celebration of thepeaceful transfer of power, astraightforward discussion ofrace and ways to surmount

the burdens that racial discordhave imposed on our society,a magnanimity toward ideo-logical adversaries, an under-lying sense of inclusivenessand decency. These are wisewords from a mature politi-cian who clearly has confi-dence in the nation’s ability toforge ahead and meet its chal-lenges.

I understand that a lot ofpeople in this country don’tagree with former President

Obama on many things. Butset aside the person whowrote it for a moment: thisspeech is instructive for all ofus on what this country is allabout and how we can makeit better.

“Given some of the com-ments we’ve seen,”Klobuchar joked, “I will con-tinue to focus on that issue ormy dad would get really madat me if I did not.”

Klobuchar also discussedfree and fair elections.Klobuchar has joined withother senators to introducelegislation to create an inde-pendent, nonpartisan commis-sion to comprehensively in-vestigate Russian interferencein the 2016 election.Klobuchar was recently inUkraine, the Baltic states, andGeorgia to reinforce support

for Eastern European alliesand to focus on mounting in-ternational cybersecuritythreats.

“As you probably know, Iwent to Ukraine and Georgia,Latvia, Lithuania, and Estoniawith Senators McCain andGraham. The whole purposeof our visit was to talk aboutour support for NATO, butalso how we stand up fordemocracies everywhere,”Klobuchar said. “These peo-ple see this every single day.And so this idea of cyber at-tacks and influencing elec-tions is not unique to one can-didate or one party, as MarcoRubio so eloquently pointedout. It could happen to eitherpolitical party. It’s not unique

to one country. It’s somethingthat’s going on all around ourworld. And once we allow theinfluence of outside countriesin our election, we don’t havea free democracy anymore.”

Klobuchar continued: “Wehave countries that have areason to influence Americanelections exercising that in-fluence. That’s why I’m sosupportive of the IntelligenceCommittee investigationwork and the work that Sen.Graham wants to do on Judi-ciary, as well as setting up aselect committee and getting… expanded sanctions onRussia. I was an originalsponsor of that bill.”

Over 800 enjoy pancakesMore than 800 people enjoyed the 66thannual men’s club potato pancake andsausage dinner Sunday, Feb 5, at FirstEvangelical Lutheran Church in Glen-coe. The men’s club is a member of theInternational Lutheran Laymen’sLeague (LLL), and proceeds from the

event will support LLL projects includ-ing “The Lutheran Hour” radio broad-casts. Pictured, from left to right, onthe fryers are Terry Rowan, CharlieCzycalla and Darrell Bruckschen. Morethan 800 pounds of potatoes wereused.

Third-year medical studentJacob Bermudez is gainingrural health care experienceat Glencoe Regional HealthServices (GRHS) through theUniversity of Minnesota’sRural Physician AssociateProgram (RPAP).

B e r m u -dez startedhis trainingat GRHS onOct. 10,2016, andwill stayuntil June23, 2017.The pro-gram al-lows med-ical stu-dents to work under the guid-ance of a seasoned familymedicine physician while ex-periencing a variety of med-ical specialties, observingprocedures and developingpatient-communication skills.

“The RPAP program push-es you to expand yourbreadth of knowledge and al-lows you to have confidence

in yourself,” Bermudez said.Bermudez’s primary pre-

ceptor, GRHS family medi-cine physician Bryan Pe-tersen, is a former RPAP stu-dent who also trained atGRHS.

“RPAP gives students ataste of what it’s like to be aprimary care doctor in small-town or rural Minnesota,” Dr.Petersen said. “Many enjoy itmore than they thought theywould, and many eventuallygo into careers in rural orsmall-town settings.”

Born and raised in Chica-go, Bermudez has lived inlarger cities his entire life.His transition to Minneapolisfor medical school broughthim to the smallest city he’dlived in — that is, until hebegan his training in Glen-coe. Bermudez now lives inSilver Lake.

Before moving to Min-nesota, Bermudez worked asan engineer in Los Angeles.

“My father is a physician,so I kind of grew up in medi-cine. When I started working

as an engineer, I missed themedical environment – gravi-ty pulled me back,” he said.

According to Bermudez,one of his hopes for his futuremedical practice includesworking in a rural area.

“The close-knit nature of asmall town adds an aspect oftransparency that I wasn’t an-ticipating,” Bermudez said.“You owe more to peoplewhen they are your neigh-bors.”

Bermudez would like tobecome an anesthesiologist.However, his time at GRHShas sparked a new interest inemergency medicine.

“I just love the emergencyroom,” Bermudez said. “It’sbeen so much fun. I’m start-ing to think about doing aresidency that combinesanesthesiology and emer-gency medicine.”

Bermudez is looking for-ward to continuing his expe-rience at GRHS, and plans toreturn to Minnesota after hecompletes his residency.

Engineering bridgesJanuary’s STEM (science, technology,engineering and mathematics) projectat Glencoe-Silver Lake’s Helen BakerElementary was building bridges. Stu-dents worked with their parents tobuild bridges from a variety of materi-als. Above, kindergarten student En-rique Soto, left, built his from popsicle

sticks, while second grader AmeliaBoetel, center, and first grader OwenGraf, right, made theirs from cottonswabs and wood, respectively. Therewere 65 projects turned in, and weredisplayed on several tables near theschool office, below.

All we have to do is get by the first part of the weekand things should settle in nicely.

An early week storm focused most of its precipitationto our north and southeast. As I write this it hasn’t hap-pened yet, but I’m hoping any precipitation stayed awayas a few patches of freezing rain may have developedclose to us. Behind the storm the wind picked up andtemperatures dropped. By Wednesday lows may dipbelow zero with wind chills well into negative land.

There is good news, though … it will be short-lived asa warm push will work back in Friday through Saturday,ramping temperatures up into the 40s by Friday. Some in-dications point at 50s working into South Dakota, sowe’ll see how close it can get, but 40s will still feel prettynice. Weekend highs will again head north of freezingwith a slight cool-down expected early next week. LateSaturday we’ll have another weak storm system move bywith some rain mixing with snow.

High pressure builds out west early next week, so itshould keep us close to average with big storms avoidingthe area.

Have a great February week, everyone!

Ma dobry weekendem Mit dobry vikend

Wednesday night — Lows -3 to 3; clear.Thursday — Highs 17-23, lows 20-23, clear.Friday — Highs 40-46, lows 25-31; clouds.Saturday — Highs 35-42, lows 20-26; rain mixing with

snow late.Sunday — Highs 32-38, partly cloudy.

Weather Quiz: Why have we seen more bouts of freez-ing drizzle and fog this year than we normally see?

Answer to last week’s question (I was recently askedagain, why don’t the most precipitation and most snow-fall for monthly extremes match up on any givenmonth?): In winter, there’s typically a pretty fine line be-tween rain and snow in the largest storms, so more oftenthan not we get our biggest precipitation days in winterin rain and the snowfall days don’t quite add up as much.

Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!
