Thirty years ago, inNovember 1983, theSilver Lake Lakeites

high school football teamemerged victorious over Nor-man County West/Climax 27-12 in the nine-man statechampionship at theMetrodome.

On Saturday, April 5, from5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Silver Lakealumni Nancy Benz, Sandy(Tschimperle) Posusta andTony Kadlec are hosting apublic reunion to celebratethe anniversary of the statetitle.

All are welcome to attendthe event. The evening in-cludes a social hour with cashbar beginning at 5 p.m. and aprogram from 6:30 p.m. to7:30 p.m. honoring thecoaches, Buz Rumrill andDan Tschimperle, and trainerDon Ranzau.

The 1983 nine-man statechamps ended their seasonthat year with a perfectrecord, 13-0, and Nancy Benztalked with “star quarterback”Bob Yurek and Kevin Benzabout their championship sea-son.

“I remember a lot from thegames. The pregame was soimportant. Coach (Dan)Tschimperle would stay withthe team to get them preparedfor the game. Buz (Rumrill)would take the quarterbacks,Scott Tschimperle and me,and he would talk to us aboutwhat we would need to ac-complish during the game.He would do this to settle usdown and get us focused forthe game,” Yurek said.

Kevin Benz said he re-membered that Coach Rum-

rill had some pretty “vocaland colorful” speeches duringthe games.

“Some of our toughergames, like the one againstBrownton, included a greatspeech. With some colorfullanguage, he told us we hadto play better. Buz wasn’t a‘rah rah’ kind of guy. He wasan ‘X and O’ kind of guy. Ex-ecute, block and run. He wasmore of a Mike Ditka kind ofcoach — more of a fiery per-sonality and a tough guy typeof approach. His philosophywas to just get it done,”Kevin Benz said.

“The type of coaching styleof Mike Ditka fit that time ofera. We all had the samebackground and we were ableto get on the same page. It isdue to being a farming com-munity and a small town. Wehad all the same norms andwe were raised the same way.You don’t see that in thecities today. In a small town,you know everybody and youknow what the kids are like,their parents, their back-ground,” Yurek said.

Yurek said the team haddifficult games that season,specifically against Winsted,Brownton and Stewart.

“They were all the sameskill set as us and toughteams. We knew a mistakehere or there would turn thegame in their favor,” Yureksaid.

Their undefeated confer-ence record was as follows:Minneapolis Lutheran, 27-8;Hector, 27-6; Grove City, 42-14; Stewart, 27-20; BuffaloLake, 23-0; Lester Prairie,66-0; Brownton, 29-20; Cos-mos, 47-6; Winsted HolyTrinity, 27-20; and Raymond,

40-13.In the playoffs, the

Lakeites defeated Starbuck,31-14, and Hills/BeaverCreek, 53-14.

“Buz (Rumrill) and Dan(Tschimperle) taught us thatit was all about teamwork.You didn’t need a 50-pageplay book. You needed tofunction as a team. You justneeded four to five plays andif you execute things to-gether, it will work,” KevinBenz said.

He said the coaches’ phi-losophy was “simple is bet-ter.”

The 1983 Silver LakeLakeites high school footballteam included: Durwin Jones,Bill Polchow, Ken Wraspir,Jim Hemerick, Jim Blazinski,Bob Yurek, Kevin Benz,DuWayne Ranzau, LarryStifter, Jeff Mallak, BruceStifter, Wade Stritesky, MarkKosek, Brian Blazinski, ScottTschimperle, Brad Blazinski,Todd Syvertson, Mike Mick-olichek, Todd Brown, RandyZajicek, Tony Kadlec, DeanRuzicka, Brad Shamla,Bernie Koktan, Ervin Nowak,Carl Cuhel, Mike Ostlie,Brian Wosmek, Dave Hlavka,Todd Cuhel, Craig Stibal,Paul Stritesky, Brian Webband Bob Wraspir.

The coaches were BuzRumrill and Dan Tschimperleand managers were GordieChmielewski and RandyHatcher.

The public is invited to at-tend the anniversary celebra-tion to hear team membersand the coaches share theirstories and remember thechampionship season.

To Leader subscribers:One of the few guarantees in life is

change. Regretfully, it is change that bringsthis announcement to our faithful SilverLake Leader readers and advertisers.

The Silver Lake Leader will cease inde-pendent publication on May 29. The reasonis simple. It cannot financially support itself.

Beginning with the June 4 issue, the pagesof the Silver Lake Leader will be rolled intoThe McLeod County Chronicle.

While not all the details have been workedout, the aim is to keep a distinct Silver Lakeflavor to a section in The Chronicle.

Alyssa Schauer will continue to be our Sil-ver Lake reporter, but the Leader office inSilver Lake will be closed at the end of May.Schauer will work full time out of TheChronicle’s office in Glencoe.

While the Leader will cease publication,

the coverage of Silver Lake’s citizens, CityCouncil and civic events will not. We plan tooffer you the same type of coverage nowavailable in the Leader, just in a differentpackage.

To our faithful advertisers, thank you foryour support, and we hope you will continueto support the change.

Same for our subscribers. Thank you foryour faith in us, and we hope for your con-tinued support.

When McLeod Publishing purchased thestruggling Silver Lake Leader in December2010, the purchase agreement guaranteed thenewspaper would operate for a year. It wentnearly 3-1/2 years.

Sadly, that run is coming to an end.Rich Glennie

Leader to cease on May 29


Last Saturday at theTim Orth BasketballJamboree, a group of

Glencoe-Silver Lake elemen-tary students raised over $500for the Tim Orth MemorialFoundation by simply makingand selling rubberbandbracelets.

Tammy Schermann, fourth-grade teacher at Lakeside El-ementary, said a group of herstudents “spearheaded” theproject after reading an arti-cle about the typhoon tragedythat hit the Philippines lastNovember.

“We were reading an arti-cle about the typhoon in themagazine, ‘Time for Kids.’The article discussed the dis-aster and funding efforts tohelp those affected. After

reading, I had the kids brain-storm ideas of how theywould help people in need,and this group thought ofmaking and selling bracelets,and then decided they wantedto raise money for the Orthrecipients,” Schermann said.

Students Malayh Metcalf,Brent Lipke, Jake Schrupp,Porter Mikolichek, SpencerLemke, Miranda Litzau andMajkya Metcalf started mak-ing bracelets with the popular“rainbow loom” in Novem-ber.

“They perservered. On Fri-day afternoons during freetime, I let them bring in theirloom kits and they made theirbracelets. If I would have letthem, they would have madethem all day, every day,”Schermann laughed.

Soon other students joined

their efforts, including MiahMonahan, Teagan Hansch,Cade Herrmann, KaitlynPopp and MorganChimelewski, and the groupsold over $500 in bracelets.

Schermann said they raisedabout $200 before the eventand sold the remaining $300in bracelets at the Jamboree.

“We sold about 250bracelets to kids in our classand came out with $126. Wesold around 100 bracelets atMiranda’s mom’s work.When we added that to our$126, we came out witharound $200,” the kids said.

The group said theystocked up on rubberbandbracelets before the Tim Orthevent, making all different

The McLeod County Boardheard it is a defendant in anupcoming class-action lawsuitfiled by Beverly Snow andmany others regarding a driverdiversion program for trafficoffenders.

County Attorney MikeJunge said the court case in-volves 14 counties and 21cities and stems from the im-plementation of a driver diver-sion program.

“In 2010, the sheriff startedthis diversion program for traf-fic offenders where they canpay a fee and take a classabout driving instead of pay-ing the fine and having the ci-tation go on their record,”Junge said.

He said from 2010-2012,the sheriff department col-lected $11,000 annually.

“The allegation is that theprogram is unlawful and con-sists of illegal expendituressince sheriffs are not allowedto implement this program,”Junge said.

“But county attorneys can,and the ironic thing is that thegroup is claiming I signed offon this,” Junge said.

Commissioner SheldonNies said he’s only ever heardpositive feedback about theprogram.

“I think it’s a great program,especially for young drivers. Idon’t understand it (the law-suit),” Nies said.

“This is law. You don’t haveto understand it,” Jungelaughed.

Nies said he felt the driverdiversion program is a “betterdeterrent” for poor drivingthan a traffic ticket, and thatit’s “humiliating” for drivers totake a driving class over. “Thatlesson sticks with them overpaying a one-time fine,” Niessaid.

“I think they are missing theboat on this one,” he added.

Junge said the lawsuit isfiled in Wabasha County Dis-trict Court, and that the driverdiversion program has beensuspended since August 2012.

Chief Deputy Tim Langen-feld said the majority of themoney earned through the pro-gram when into the county’sgeneral fund.

He said some money was

deducted to pay for employeesconducting the classes, “butthe rest of the money went intothe county’s general fund.”

Junge said representativesfrom MCIT (Minnesota Coun-ties Intergovernmental Trust)will represent the county incourt.

“I guess we’ll wait and see,”Nies said.

It’s become widely knownat work that I love food.

I know this sounds ridicu-lous because really, who does-n’t love food?

But almost daily, it seemsconversation in the office re-volves around Grandma’s ko-laches and other sweet treats,scrumptious beef commercials(over french fries) at Bump’s,Coborn’s lunch specials, Un-hinged! Pizza’s sweet chilichicken pizza, and many otherfamily recipes or restaurantdelights.

Quite often, Jessica in ourproduction department willask me, “Are you talkingabout food again?”

I have an uncanny ability tobring it up almost every dis-cussion with my co-workers.

They must think I’m starv-ing or something, but I justlove food.

Every Thursday, we have a“treat day” in the office wheremanagement brings in cookiesor popcorn or donuts or cup-cakes or strudel, and every sooften, we are blessed with abox of caramel rolls and rasp-berry bear claws fresh fromThe Cake House.

The rolls are made of sweetbread, and they are drippingwith gooey caramel, filledwith cream cheese and toppedwith pecans.

Are you drooling yet? I am. Because of this deep affec-

tion for food, I love going tonew restaurants and tryingnew meals, and last Thursdayfor lunch, I had one of the bestsandwiches of my life atWhich Wich? in St. Paul.

That afternoon, I was wed-ding dress shopping with mybest friend Sarah, who is get-ting married this August.

(Yet another wedding to addto my closet of colorfuldresses!)

After she found thee dress atThe Wedding Shoppe, wewere ravenous and she sug-

gested our usual favorites —McDonald’s, Noodles andCompany, Arby’s, etc.

I was craving a fish filletfrom McD’s but chicken al-fredo at Noodles also soundeddelicious. And who can passup roast beef sandwiches andcurly fries at Arby’s?

Really, I was hungry foranything, and Sarah said shewas going to take me to one ofher new favorites, WhichWich?, a sandwich place muchlike Subway, where you cancustomize your very own sub.

But instead of telling thesandwich artists what youwould like, you fill out a sortof “form” that contains checkboxes and turn it into them.

This “form” is a kind ofmenu printed on brown paperbags, which are categorized byturkey, chicken, beef, seafood,and meatless choices.

After you select what you’recraving, you can then choosewhich bread, cheese, spreadsand veggies you would like bychecking the boxes with a redSharpie marker.

The choices are endless.You can build your sandwichwith flatbread, wheat bread,white bread, no bread.

Then you can decided if youwant American cheese, Ched-dar cheese, Pepper Jackcheese, all of them or none ofthem before deciding on achoice of spread, which in-

cludes mayo, light mayo, mus-tard, pesto, horseradish, etc.

And then come the veggies.You name it, they’ve got it.You can even choose how youlike your onions: carmelized,red, white, crispy.

Excitedly, I checked nearlyevery box of everything I love,and then scribbled them outbecause I couldn’t decide whatexactly I wanted. I made amess of my paper bag, andeventually grabbed a new oneand started over.

Do you think I was about toturn in a sandwich consistingof turkey, crispy onions, mus-tard, mayo, spinach, lettuce,cucumbers, green peppers,tomatoes, mushrooms, driedcranberries, candied walnuts,carmelized onions and pick-les?

No. I thought more closely

about what would taste greattogether, and my final creationwas a turkey sub on wheatbread with light mayo,spinach, lettuce, dried cranber-ries, red onions, and candiedwalnuts.

Seriously though, driedcranberries and candied wal-nuts. The stuff of life.

I haven’t even told my co-workers about this sandwichplace yet, so what do youthink our conversation will betoday?

The Travel SectionBy Alyssa SchauerEditor’s note: This is a

continuation of thePulkrabeks visit to the fam-ily’s old Czech farmstead in1985.

At 5 p.m., our heads swim-ming with information, wetold our hosts we must leave.They insisted we come in fora cup of coffee.

We were served sausages,goat cheese, boiled eggs, pick-les, mushrooms and chunks ofsolid, smoked fat pork. Nicewhite fat! We thought this wasto share but, “No,” each per-son was given a plateful, fol-lowed by huge squares ofdelicious, “raspberry buktha,”ice cream, cookies, water-melon and pivo.

Jana, my cousin translator,explained in Czech to Hanathat we would get sick if weate all of this food.

Our host, Hana, replied in avery joking way, “Good! Thenthey will remember us muchbetter!” We had many laughsover that statement! Hana wasvery bubbly and had a greatsense of humor!

The parish priest joined usfor supper. This was followedby Hana singing and playingon her guitar the Czech Na-tional Anthem, “Where is MyHome?” Their cousin playedthe accordion accompanied byOldrich on his violin, whilewe all sang, “Sla Nanyka DoZeli” and “Cervene Vino, BilyKolache.”

We were all laughing andhaving a hilariously goodtime! They had gifts for us. Aladies’ white angora rabbit

pull-over sweater made fromtheir own rabbits, a highlydecorated carved smokingpipe, highly decorated eggspainted by Hana, Czech dolls,a 24-inch high, fluffy whiteteddy bear, a huge woven bas-ket, an 18-inch high piece ofornately decorated pottery, aquart of strong “Becherovka”liquor, a huge cake and more.

We asked, “How are wegoing to get all this on theplane?” They laughed andlaughed, and Hana replied,“That is your problem!” Morelaughing by all of us!

Our meager gifts were anembarrassment to us! Fourhours later they followed us tothe car. We had more hugging,saying sad goodbyes and shak-ing hands through the win-dows of our slow-moving car.

Jan, Emily, Oldrich andHana kept waving until wedisappeared around the cornerand headed off into the dark-ness. On the 75-mile hometrip, we had to get out of thecar several times on a majorhighway in the dark to findsigns pointing to Prague. Wearrived in Prague at midnight.What a day!

On another visit eight yearslater, it was more of the sameas above. At 9 p.m., Hana in-sisted we stop to see their first-born grandchild at thehospital. It was dark, dark,dark, on this Novemberevening. We pulled into thedark, completely empty hospi-tal parking lot, walked to aguard booth with a “babicka”(grandmother) sitting inside in

the dark, under a 20-watt barelight bulb, bundled up for thecold.

After some discussion shefinally gave her approval toenter, although we had tocrawl under the locked pipegate.

We walked across the hospi-tal grounds with the moonshining eerie shadows allaround us. We knocked on thelocked hospital door.

Finally a nurse came. Morediscussions. She told us thisvisit is highly against hospitalpolicies. We were told to takeoff our shoes, remain silentand tip-toe down a dim, emptyhallway. We were ushered intoa darkened stairway, climbedthree flights of stairs, and wereclosed into a 10-by-10-footlinen room and asked to waitquietly.

Soon the mother, Libuska,came into the room. Then anurse brought little baby boyVitek, who was tightlywrapped like a loaf of breadwith only his tiny sleepingface showing. He was a prettybaby!

After congratulations, oohsand aahs and hugs, we re-treated silently, the way wecame in, and out into the darkshadows. We left proud Hanaand her son-in-law, the father,waving goodbye to us fromunder a 40-watt bare yard lightbulb as we disappeared intothe darkness.

We arrive in Prague aftermidnight.

Tracing RootsBy Ron Pulkrabek

75 YEARS AGO, APRIL 8, 1939 — TheVillage Council adopted a new ordinance forparking rules to promote safety on Silver Lake’sMain Street, also known as Highway No. 7,from the west end of the village limits to theeast-end village limits, and on West Avenue andLake Avenue, both running south of MainStreet. The new regulation provides for parallelparking and also prohibits trucks from parkingon these designated streets. Trucks with mer-chandise will be permitted to unload, but vehi-cles of this kind will not be permitted to park onthe streets designated in the ordinance.

At the regular McLeodCounty Board meeting Tues-day morning, CommissionerKermit Terlinden addressed aletter to the editor writtenabout the Board “pushing” toadopt the Minnesota StateBuilding Code (SBC) and re-iterated that the Board is nottrying to “push anything.”

In the March 26 edition ofThe McLeod County Chroni-cle, Jim Bobier of AcomaTownship had a letter to theeditor voicing concerns thatthe Board is “racing ahead”with a workshop limited to aselect few.

Terlinden said the entireprocess goes along in conjunc-tion with state statute. “Wecan’t run this under the radar.We’re not trying to railroadanything,” he said.

He said the Board is con-ducting the workshop as partof the process of discussingadopting the code. “We willhave a public meeting about it,but this is where we’re at inthe process right now,” hestressed about the workshop.

Commissioner SheldonNies agreed. “If we don’t fol-low suit and go through withthe process of discussion, wearen’t doing our due diligenceas commissioners,” he said.

“That’s the beauty of free-dom of speech,” County Attor-ney Mike Junge commented.

Terlinden said the workshopis meant to “hash over” all thedetails and that a public meet-ing will “definitely” be set foranyone who has concerns.

In other matters, the Board:• Approved a lease agree-

ment with Glencoe Co-op As-sociation for propane serviceat the new highway shop.

Highway Engineer JohnBrunkhorst said the agreementallows the highway depart-ment use of a 1,000-gallontank provided the departmentbuys propane exclusively fromthe Co-op.

• Purchased a 1981 Blanchetsnow blower from the city ofHutchinson for a net countycost of $6,000. The purchaseagreement includes a trade ofa 1983 Hyster pneumaticroller. Funding is coming fromthe 2014 highway budget.

“The trade is mutually ben-eficial to both of us. The statecontract price for a compara-ble new snow blower is about$200,000,” Brunkhorst said.

• Approved agreement withWinsted Township for the re-placement of bridge L5929.

Brunkhorst said this is astandard agreement for town-

ships wanting to proceed withbridge replacement projects,which are typically fundedwith town bridge and statebridge bonds and local town-ship funding.

• Adopted a resolution for atemporary loan of $109,900from the general revenue fundto the ditch fund to cover neg-ative county and joint ditchfund balances.

• Approved a resolutionfrom the enhancement grantprogram for $10,000 to beused for unbudgeted outreachin the veteran services depart-ment.

• Nominated Otto Templinto the Housing and Redevel-opment Authority, replacingJames Mills.

• Set “Student GovernmentDay” for Tuesday, May 6. Theagenda includes a presentationon the consequences of heroinuse; presenters include parentswho lost children to heroinoverdose.

Coming off a 5-10 season from lastyear, a young Glencoe-Silver Lake softballteam gained some experience, and nowhopes to compete more within the WrightCounty Conference.

The only face missing from last year isCortney Lemke, who the Panthers willmiss on the mound.

Lemke earned all-conference recogni-tion, but was forced primarily into pitchingduties with an inexperienced squad.

While his girls are still green, HeadCoach Steve Davis likes the look of histeam this year.

“We have a pretty strong, deep team,”Davis said. “We’re deeper than the past.We’ve actually got some competition inspots.”

Davis even looks to have an actualpitching rotation on his hands, instead ofleaning on one horse, like Lemke, lastyear.

“We’ve got three very good pitcherswho have added more velocity,” Davis

said of Moriah Maunu (9), Maddy Kalen-berg (10) and Becca Green (11). “Nowwe’ve got options, instead of one girl.”

Steph Klockmann also earned all-con-ference last year as a junior, and will becounted on heavily in her senior season.

“She’s our best player. She can play anyposition,” Davis said. “Right now, she’skind of penciled into first (base), but shecan play anywhere. We’ll see how the sea-son goes, and she’ll fill in the gaps.”

Amanda Meyer is the only other senioron the roster. Davis said she could see timeat a number of spots, though she’s cur-rently vying for a position in the field.

Juniors Josie Schmitt and RachelRusten earned honorable mention honorslast season, with Schmitt covering secondand Rusten patrolling the grass in rightfield.

What really has the coach excited is hisbatting order.

“If you look at the lineup, we’re prettygood one-to-nine,” said Davis. “Thesenine will put it in play and give us a chanceto win. We’ve got a good competitive bat-

ting order for our conference.”Right now, it’s looking like Rusten

could lead off, with Schmitt behind herand Klockmann rounding out the topthree.

Piper Davis will most likely bat cleanup,though Becca Green could see time thereas well.

“It kind of depends on who’s starting,”said Coach Davis.

The West Division of the WrightCounty Conference is where the Panthershope to challenge.

“We hope to compete on our side of theconference, or win it,” Coach Davis said.“Our skills are good enough. I would bedisappointed if we’re not toward the top(of the division).

And for sections, I think it’s time thatwe win a section game and get toMankato. We’re good enough for that.”

The first game of the season is sched-uled for Friday, April 4, versus Norwood-Young America. Though, weather couldplay a factor as the fields are still quitesoggy.

Young butexperienced

The experience of these four girls will be counted on heavily in theupcoming Panther softball season, which is scheduled to kick off thisweek. Pictured is: Amanda Meyer (12), Steph Klockmann (12), PiperDavis (11) and Ellie Lepel (11).



With a number of seniors de-parting after last year’s track sea-son, Head Coaches Josh Metcalfand Robb DeCorsey are now try-ing to filter in replacements innumerous spots.

At last year’s state track meet,Glencoe-Silver Lake had threeboys medal in different events, aswell as a girls’ 4x200-meter relayteam, which failed to make it tothe final round.

Total, GSL competed in sixdifferent events at last year’s statemeet.

This year’s team only boasts13 seniors, but they will becounted on for plenty of points.

Both Metcalf and DeCorseygot a chance to see their teams inaction as indoor meets at St.John’s and St. Thomas Universi-ties afforded coaches and athletesa welcome change from runningin hallways.

The first meet of the season isscheduled for April 8 at MankatoWest.

With a new track surface in-tact, GSL will host three meets: aconference meet on April 28, fol-lowed by an invitational the nextday. The final home meet is May22 for the subsection champi-onship.

Boys“We have a lot of holes to fill,”

Metcalf said of the boys. “Espe-cially with (Trent) Draeger gone,who we could count on scoringin three jumping events. (Greg)Ober usually scored in three orfour (events), as well as (Ryan)Kuester. Tanner Konen qualifiedfor state in the pole vault ... Idon’t know if there’s any one

person that’s going to be able tocover those four. Hopefully we’llbe able to piece together somepeople to compete.”

The biggest concern for Met-calf is finding some points fromthe field.

“I think we’ll be OK on thetrack, but we’ll definitely have tofind some field guys to step upand replace those points we’velost from last year.”

Helping to generate somescores in the field will be throw-ers Tyler Donnay and Adam

Eberhard, a pair of seniors whocompeted regularly last year.

One area Metcalf has hissights set on for some points isdistance.

Members from this year’sGSL boys’ cross country teamwho placed sixth at state will testtheir spring-legs in track.

Metcalf plans to throw Bran-don Richter, Garret Ardolf, CodyBecker, Jac Chelman, MichaelSchaefer and Freddy Pena in themix. All but Pena saw varsity ex-perience in cross country.

The coach said the goal for thisyear’s boys’ team is a solid finishin the conference and section.

“We’ve been very competitiveyear in and out in the WrightCounty Conference,” Metcalfsaid. “Being the last year whereit’ll be a full conference meet, itwould be a nice chance to be inthe top three again ... Our realfocus is essentially true team,conference, subsections, sectionand state. Those are the only fivethat really matter. Outside of that,at the other meets we’ll be trying

to figure out what our strongestlineup is.”

GirlsThe girls may not have lost as

many pieces, but the ones theydid lose will be tough to replaceas well.

Though DeCorsey’s lost somevaluable assets, he still has twosenior leaders in Kelly Arnoldand Tori Burr.

Burr is also hoping to turn suc-cess from the fall into points forthe track team, as she finished21st at the state cross countrymeet this past fall. She’ll be com-peting in the one and two mile.

“She’s always been a solid atthe one and two (mile),”DeCorsey said of Burr. “She’sdefinitely the leader of the dis-tance bunch. They follow herlead. I’d love to see her break-through and get to state thisyear.”

Arnold returns after a juniorseason where she made it to stateon the 4x2 relay team, and as anindividual in the 200-meter dash.

“I really think she can get backto state in both events,”DeCorsey said of Arnold. “Kellyis the leader of the other half ofthe team. She spent a lot of timein the weight room during the offseason, and I want that to pay offfor her.”

Like the boys, DeCorsey willneed some help in the field. De-spite that, the coach said his teamshould have their gaze upon sub-sections.

“It would be nice to win thesubsection again, and I thinkthere’s a chance of that,” saidDeCorsey. “But we need to findsome people in the field events.”

The 16th-annual Tim OrthFoundation Basketball Jam-boree kept audiences enter-tained this past weekend, whileintroducing some local youthswith costly medical needs to thearea.

Patrons packed the Glencoe-Silver Lake gymnasium with anabundance of events and activi-ties scheduled and plenty ofsilent auction items to mull over.

This year’s recipients werehonored in between boys’ andgirls’ basketball games made upof area all-stars.

Each recipient and their fam-ily were recognized by the audi-ence, and escorted by a CrownCollege basketball player asthey made their way to halfcourt.

Emotions ran high during thepowerful ceremony that leftmany applauding and cheeringthe families who stood beforethem.

The basketball games wereinterrupted frequently, but withgood reason, as many organiza-tions, groups and clubs dis-

played entertaining talents orput on events for onlookers, in-cluding a Buffalo Wild Wingseating contest.

Sometimes, you just have to marvel at the power ofMother Nature!

As I write this, areas in North Dakota and northwesternMinnesota could see up to 20 inches of snow with 50 mphwinds, while at the same time there’s just been a couple re-ports of tornadoes in western Minnesota. This is fairly rare,but when these very intense spring storms tap into the rightingredients, we can see all types of weather in a generallysmall geographical area. The weird part is the area that sawthe tornadoes was within a few miles of a blizzard warn-ing.

Ok, I’m done talking about the past, moving onto the fu-ture. We’ll end the week cooler than the amazing weatherwe had over the weekend, with yet another storm to worryabout. Highs to end the week will be stuck in the 30s and40s and a very tricky storm will enter the picture lateThursday.

As I write this, I’d rather not venture a guess at whatmight happen but here’s my best guess. Late Thursday intoFriday, a storm will move into the upper Midwest. It’slooking like this one will take a track more to the souththan our early week one, so this means we’ll have to worrymore about snow. As the storm approaches it should bewarm enough to be all rain but as time goes by enough coldair should filter in to change things to snow.

When and where this will happen is up for grabs withour area being right on the line of rain/snow. Whoever getsmore snow could see 8-plus inches with perhaps a half-inch of rain only 50-100 miles away. The cutoff may bevery sharp, so it’s hard to guess this far out what to expect.In other words, please pay close attention to more up-to-date forecasts as a couple models are hinting that it mighteven mostly miss us.

Things clear out for the weekend with a quick warm-upto possibly 50 by Sunday (I’m hoping this just isn’t mebeing optimistic).

Have a great first week of April, all; I’ll definitely takethe April showers over April snow.

Ma dobry weekendem Mit dobry vikend

Thursday — Highs 37-43; lows 27-33; clouds/rain/ snowmix late.

Friday — Highs 30-38; lows 20-26; rain early, thensnow?

Saturday — Highs 37-43; lows 20-26; partly cloudy.Sunday — Highs 43-50; clear.

Weather Quiz: How rare are March tornadoes in Min-nesota?

Answer to last week’s question: What are some ofApril’s weather extremes? Highest temperature, 95 de-grees (April 21, 1980); lowest temperature, 2 degrees(April 13, 1962); most precipitation, 2.58 inches (April 6,2006), most snowfall 13.6 inches (April 14, 1983).

Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!
