And apathy seems to be alive and well entrenched in the Glencoe- Silver Lake School District if the turnout at the first round of community meetings on the proposed building project is any indication. The first meeting was held June 28 at a bad time (noon), and only a handful of people showed up, all school employees. GSL Superintendent Chris Sonju was preaching to the choir. Those attending were likely to vote for a school building bond, and many had already sat through previous meetings that explained the needs and the scope of the plans. Even when the referendum meetings were held throughout the school district in 2011, few people attended to see what the project was all about. The public was not fully engaged, and the two referendum votes that year were defeated by just a couple hundred votes each time. The public will get another opportunity to hear the plans, with some possible adjustments to address concerns expressed after the referendum defeats of two years ago. The next community meeting is set for 7 p.m., Monday, July 29, in the high school auditorium. It would be nice to see a decent turnout, especially from those who either are sitting on the fence over the building bond, or who are skeptical about the space needs that are the driving forces behind the new school addition. That building project would connect the Lincoln Junior High and high school campuses into one campus. The plan also involves closing the Helen Baker Elementary building and moving those primary grade students to the current Lincoln building. The community meeting is designed to explain the building bond project that has increased in price, but not scope. It also is aimed at getting public input about the plans. There have been some new wrinkles put into the proposed plans, especially involving grade configurations and grade locations on the combined campus. The last two referendum votes indicated that majorities in Brownton and Glencoe favored the project, while voters in Silver Lake, Plato, New Auburn and Biscay did not. The majority in Glencoe, however, was not big enough to overcome the votes outside the city. Glencoe voters are split, too. There are a variety of reasons for nitpicking the plan apart, ranging from the anti-sports people who vote no because a new gymnasium is included; to the anti-consolidation voters who want the Helen Baker to remain viable despite all the additional costs associated with keeping it open that does got gain any additional space; to the anti-tax voters who will vote no on anything that raises their taxes. Thank goodness our predecessors did not use these excuses to avoid building adequate facilities to teach their children — us. We would not have had Henry Hill built during the Great Depression; the high school built in 1970; or Silver Lake school rebuilt after its devastating fire. Brownton residents are the only ones who really know first-hand what happens when there are too many “no” votes. School districts are a major economic development tool for the region. Good schools attract new residents and students. GSL is no exception. GSL has experienced recent growth at its primary grade levels — kindergarten through grade 2. It also has resulted in space issues at the Helen Baker facility. Growth in student population is a good thing; it generates additional dollars to help educate our students. But growth that results in overcrowding in the classrooms, especially at the primary level where smaller class sizes are important, is not a plus. Driving potential students, and families from the district because of overcrowding is self-defeating. There is a tenent of economic development: If you are not growing, you are falling behind. GSL needs to keep growing, or people will go elsewhere to educate the next generations of potential district residents. Educating our young people is an obligation of every generation. It is our turn to step to the plate and get it done. But it is hard to make an informed vote without hearing the message. Get involved, attend the July 29 meeting, or future community meetings, to find out first-hand what is being proposed. Remaining apathetic, and uninformed, is the worst of all options. — R.G. Why are Americans so fascinated with the British royal family? Last we checked, the Americans won the War of Independence against the British 237 years ago. But with the latest heir to the British throne having been born Tuesday, you would have thought the British monarchy still reigned over North America! What is it that fascinates Americans about the doings of British royalty? What is so important that American national TV and daily newspaper reports make it the top story ... for days? Americans were agog when Queen Elizabeth was coronated in 1950. Americans could not get enough when Prince Charles and Lady Di wed; and now again when their son, Prince William and his wife, Kate, gave birth to a son, third in line to the throne. The world, including us revolting Americans, seems glued to every word coming out of Buckingham Palace. Perhaps we crave a return of the long tradition of British royalty. But then again, any student of the American Revolution understands why America revolted — it was the British monarchy and its absolute power. Maybe we should keep that in mind. — R.G. The McLeod County Chronicle, Wednesday, July 24, 2013, page 4 Guest opinion: Leadership: The essential ingredient By Lee H. Hamilton For those of us who think and write about democracy, few things are more appealing than a book about how to make it work better. My shelves are groaning with them. They contain a lot of good and helpful ideas. There are proposals on how to improve elections and plans for strengthening legislative bodies, judicial systems, and the rule of law. There’s a whole body of literature on how to make government and civil institutions stronger and more effective. There are ideas for buttressing the press and the public’s access to information, and schemes for improving the civic organizations, think tanks, watchdog groups and policyfocused nonprofits that make our democracy so vibrant. But over time, I’ve concluded that as complicated as democracy’s workings might be, one thing matters above all else: effective leadership. It might not guarantee results, but without it, nothing much happens. I saw this throughout my career in Congress, but it was most obvious in the counties and communities that made up my district. What struck me over and over was the difference that good leadership — both within and outside government — could make. For instance, we now have fairly elaborate programs for the education of special-needs children. In my own state of Indiana, and in many others, this was not true a relatively short while ago. But over the years, parents, teachers, school leaders and others recognized the need, stepped forward, and pressed for change at every level from the school board to Congress. Similarly, managing water resources has been an enormous challenge — dealing with floods when there’s too much and drought when there’s too little is a pressing matter in both rural and urban areas. But over the years, I’ve watched countless local leaders do the hard and sometimes tedious work of developing watershed programs. Our water supply today is far better managed than it used to be. Everything from getting a gate put in at a dangerous rail crossing to strengthening local health care facilities to building an effective local law enforcement system — with capable police chiefs, dedicated judges and energetic prosecutors — demands that people step forward and lead. Strong leadership matters: to quality of life, to how well communities respond to challenges, and to how vital our communities are. Being an active citizen matters, too, but as citizens we know that we depend heavily on good leaders to make our communities work. We rely on people to roll up their shirtsleeves at every level of our democracy, and we demand a great deal of them. We want them to set goals and motivate us. We expect them to plan, organize and manage effectively. We hope that they can take the disparate strands of our communities in hand and make sure they’re all pointed in the same direction. We look for a sort of tough-minded optimism, a conviction that “I can make a difference and so can you,” so that we’ll be inspired and energized by it. That’s why communities pay so much attention to leadership development — to identifying and training young leaders who can make a difference to the places they live. Strong, capable, determined leadership provides the energy that improves the quality of life in a community and breathes life into our representative democracy. One of the eternally refreshing gifts of our representative democracy is that it encourages people to solve problems in their community — to remember, as the saying goes, that democracy is not a spectator sport. Maybe they love where they live and want to make it better; maybe they have a child with special needs who is not being served well by the schools; perhaps they know in their hearts that they can do a better job than the people who are in charge right now. Whichever it is, people step forward — often out of nowhere — to take matters in hand. That’s what moves us forward as a society. “I believe in Democracy because it releases the energies of every human being,” Woodrow Wilson said. It is the great paradox of representative democracy: we are free to remain passive, but we can’t make progress unless skillful, can-do people recognize that with freedom comes the responsibility to lead.

In August, Silver Lake will host the first ever “Bikes-n-Blues” event, which includes live music, food, and a motorcycle contest. Event coordinators from left to right are Michael Koester, Colin By Alyssa Schauer Staff Writer On Aug. 25, Silver Lake is going to be host to the first annual “Bikes-n-Blues” music event, featuring three Blues bands from Minneapolis, a variety of food vendors, and a motorcycle contest, all at the admission cost of: free. Colin Clark, David Allen and Michael Koester of Hutchinson and rural Silver Lake recently approached the Silver Lake City Council about a venue to host the “Bikes-n-Blues” event in August. Clark said the event was originally planned to be held at the Masonic West Lodge in Hutchinson, but due to differences with the Hutchinson City Council, the event was declined, “just after $500 was spent in advertising,” Clark said. He said he moved the Hutchinson two years ago, and “died and went to heaven” when he saw how many motorcyclists and restored old cars he saw in the area. Clark added that he restores old motorcycles himself and thought about creating a family event for other motorcycle enthusiasts to attend. “Most bikers just want somewhere to go. I’ve been to music fests all over, and I wanted to bring people to this area, and so I created this family event with live music,” Clark said. “We booked three blues bands from Minneapolis in the hopes of drawing people from all over to this area,” he By Douglas E. Schoen This summer, policymakers and pundits alike remain distracted by a host of scandals in Washington. The alleged targeting of conservative political groups by IRS officials, while relegated to Congressional hearings and calls for additional investigations (for now), will be red meat for candidates running in next year’s midterm elections. Recent revelations that the NSA has been monitoring phone calls only adds to the narrative that we’ll likely see play out in the coming months: government, regardless of its reach, is increasingly misguided. However, it would be political malpractice to assume that fundamental issues — Medicare, the economy, trade, etc. — will take a backseat to today’s scandals. As incumbent policymakers know well, taking one’s eye off these fundamental issues (often at the expense of entire voting blocs) is often a recipe for failure. This is especially relevant for voters over 65, who are increasingly drifting to the Republican Party. Taking into account that nearly six in 10 seniors voted for Mitt Romney (up from half who voted for McCain 2008), it’s critical that Democrats right the ship before 2014. said. The bands include Jack Klatt and the Cat Swingers, Jeff Ray and Crankshaft and the Gear Grinders. “The first two I’ve heard good things about, but the last one we had to pick because of their name,” Clark laughed. He said the event would consist of food vendors and a motorcycle contest, where bikers can pay $1 to register their bike and possibly win a cash prize. “And it’s free and open to the public. There will be no alcohol served, so we don’t need to worry about IDing people or underage drinking. “I wanted to create a family event with professional musicians, some food, and fun,” Clark said. He said he, Allen and Koester have volunteered time and costs to the event. “It’s all free,” Clark reiterated. He added that he has been looking for a municipality to partner with so that this event could be annual. “In the future, I’d even like to organize two or three festivals to host throughout the year,” Clark said. “What is the expense to the city? I mean, we’d have to look at having extra law enforcement and mini-biffs, among other costs,” Mayor Bruce Bebo said. “We’d pay for all that. We just need a location. I guess the biggest issue would be wear and tear on city streets,” Clark said. He added that the point of By all accounts, 2012 marked a period in which Democrats were inspired by a larger turnout of young and non-white voters. However, two years earlier, seniors comprised 23 percent of the vote (an increase from 16 percent in 2008). The youth vote in 2010 was only 11 percent, down from 18 percent in 2008. A fired up senior electorate can easily sway a close election. With this idea in mind, a key issue for Republicans and Democrats will be establishing a permanent trust on Medicare. Every American over 65 relies on the program in some way, and a large swath of Medicare participants have to deal with a chronic medical condition. Seniors are often afraid of losing their benefits and having programs they rely on cost more money or get cut altogether. Case in point is Medicare Part D, the popular prescription drug benefit. This is a program that has been a sterling success, in a time when confidence in government is reaching all-time lows. Part D is a rare example of a government program that has consistently cost less year after year than originally budgeted. To be specific, it has cost $348 billion less than original estimates.

The trio hopes to create a “grass roots movement” that welcomes family-oriented fun for all. ‘Bikes-n-Blues’ music event set for Silver Lake Aug. 25 this music fest is to establish a “grass roots movement to take advantage of local resources so that people can have a good time.” “I think the pros outweigh the cons here,” Bebo said. “The thing is, we have time to organize this. David and I are semi-retired,” Clark laughed. He said he just hopes to be able to work with a city to establish an annual tradition. He added that the event is on a Sunday, from noon to 6 p.m., so that bikers are not riding home in the dark, and so families can come enjoy an afternoon of entertainment. Councilor Carol Roquette questioned the noise of the music and the residents in the area who may be “bothered by the noise.” Bebo said it would not be so different from Music in the Park and Pola-Czesky Days, where music is played past midnight. “This is a Sunday afternoon from noon to six. I don’t think it will really be an issue,” he said. Councilor Pat Fogarty asked about space and the event location. He questioned finding room for all the bikes and restored cars to park. City Clerk Kerry Venier suggested the softball park near the pool could be a good location, but that Legion Park is already set up for music. Clark said he could bring in a truck and trailer to use as a stage for the bands. City Council approved the request 5-0. Guest column: ’14 could be year of the senior found every 1 percent increase in prescriptions filled results in a .20 percent decrease in spending on other Medicare services. Key take-away for seniors: what works in heath care is likely to be well received heading into next year’s election. While Obamacare continues to experience stagnant approval ratings (the latest polls continue to trend downward), it’s clear that seniors will gravitate toward public policies that meet their needs and help to address health care spending. For both Democrats and Republicans, the good news is that the senior vote is still gettable. However, a good portion of voters over 65 pay close attention to policy specifics, making it more important to ensure that both parties recognize this. Preserving programs that work, while prioritizing seniors’ long-term interests, will yield significant political dividends in 2014 and beyond. Neither side can afford losing them.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service’s July 19 report, precipitation totals since April 1 for Hutchinson were 3.8 inches above the norm and 1.3 inches above the norm the last month. Precipitation totals for St. Cloud were 3.4 above the norm since April 1 and 1.2 above the norm the last month. Statewide corn height was determined to be 44 inches tall compared with the fiveyear average of 59 inches. Many area corn fields are now starting in the tasseling stage. Soybeans height was determined to be 12 inches tall compared with the fiveyear average of 16 inches. Spring wheat percent that was headed was 87 percent headed compared with the five-year average of 85 percent. Locally, crop conditions are doing very well other than drowned-out spots from heavy rainfall in June. Moisture stress is starting to set in on some corn fields where less rainfall was received and in fields with lighter soil textures. Weed control has been a major concern in recent weeks due to the rainy weather. There are reports of soybean aphids in Minnesota, but levels have remained low thus far.

A cover crop is any crop grown between two cash crops. Cover crops can even be worked into the corn-soybean rotation, especially when overseeded at the leaf yellowing stage. Be sure to check with the Farm Service Agency and your crop insurance provider any time you intend to harvest or pasture a cover crop. The benefits of utilizing cover crops in a rotation are numerous. Cover crops can reduce soil erosion from wind and rain, prevent soil crusting, improve water absorption and infiltration and slow water and nutrients from leaving the landscape. Protecting and improving our soils can help to conserve and improve the soil in your field. Soil quality will be improved and more water will be available for your future cash crops. Choosing which species or mix to plant depends on your needs and goals, as well as the availability of the seed. There are a few main categories of cover crop species and those include grasses, legumes, and brassicas/mustards. Some of the utilized grasses include oats, triticale, JERRY SCHARPE, LTD 712 E. 13th St., Glencoe Income Tax Preparation Business & Personal, Estate & Gift Returns Monthly Accounting & Payroll Financial Statements Compilation, Review & Audited Jerry Scharpe, CPA Jeffrey Scharpe, RAP Tel: 320-864-5380 Fax: 320-864-6434 Serving clients since 1971 THE JONAS CENTER • Individual, Marriage & Family Therapy • Child Therapy JAMES JONAS, MSS Director Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist LISA JONAS, MED Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist TRACEY VEE, MA Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist TORRI ERICKSON, MA Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist RENEE CARLSON, MS Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor JOY VIVIAN, MSW Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Most Health Plans Accepted 925 12 th St. E., Glencoe Offices also in Litchfield & Cologne 320-864-6139 or 952-361-9700 www.thejonascenter.com Advertise Your Ad Here!

The most famous of these includes the tillage radish as well as canola, forage turnip and yellow mustard. The same rules on planting timing apply for cover crops as other agronomic crops. Cover crops need to be planted when soil conditions are favorable and rainfall is adequate for germination and establishment.
