The new staff members include, fromleft, Claire Bergman, fifth-grade teacher; Shawn Fettig,high school math teacher; Kori McKibben, third-gradeteacher; Bertina Miller, first-grade teacher; BeckySchwartz, first-grade teacher; Alissa Vasek, sixth-gradeBy Lori CoplerStaff WriterThe McLeod County Boardof Commissioners has notvoted for a property tax increasein the past few years,opting instead to dip into its reservesto cover increases in expenses.At a workshop Wednesdaymorning, Aug. 28, CountyBoard Chair Paul Wright suggestedthat this may be thetime to propose a 3 percentlevy increase.Information provided byCounty Auditor/TreasurerCindy Schultz indicated thateven if the county adopted a 3percent levy increase, the totaltax rate would still drop by5.72 percent, primarily becauseof the increase in thevalue of farmland. If theCounty Board continues itszero-increase practice, the taxrate would drop by 7.81 percent.The Minnesota Legislaturehas set a 3 percent levy increasefor all counties, andcities with populations greaterthan 2,500.The proposed 2014 budget,if kept at zero-percent levy increase,would require usingabout $1.4 million in reserveto balance expenditures withrevenues.Although using the $1.4million would still leave thecounty with adequate reserves— about six to eight monthsworth of expenditures —Wright said the County Boardshould consider the 3 percentincrease.“If we don’t do somethingbesides zero, some day we’regoing to have a number that’sa lot bigger than zero,” saidWright.While property valuationsare high for farmland, that maynot always be the case, Wrightsaid, which would severelyimpact the county’s taxing capacity.“If farmland crashes — theday that goes flat or negative— that is going to crash us,too,” said Wright.Wright said the countyneeds to cover operating costsand a potential bond paymentas it pursues long-range goals,including security and jail improvements,and needs to “justprepare for the what-ifs,”Wright added.Commissioner Sheldon Niessaid that several years ago, theCounty Board was in a similarposition, and agreed to startticking up the levy.“We decided, ‘let’s do this inincrements to get ahead,’” saidNies.Schultz said she agreed withWright that at some point, thecounty would need to stop relyingon its reserves to balanceits budget. And she noted thateven with a 3 percent levy increase,the overall tax rate willstill drop.Commissioner Jon Christensenpointed out that anoverall tax rate decrease willnot necessarily mean a decreasein an individual’s propertytaxes.“That is true,” said Schultz.“If your valuation went up,you may see an increase.”She also said that farms andcommercial properties haveseen increases in values, whileresidential values remain flat.With a 3 percent levy increase,the county could levy$18.7 million in 2014. With noincrease, the levy would be$18.3 million, the same as2013.The County Board mustadopt its 2014 preliminarybudget and levy in September,said Schultz. Once the preliminarylevy is set, the CountyBoard can still lower before itsfinal adoption in December,but cannot increase it.Business & Professional DirectoryCOKATOEYE CENTER115 Olsen Blvd., Cokato320-286-5695 or 888-286-5695OPTOMETRISTS*Paul G.

Lots and lots ofcake, and even pie at some occasions.Although I sometimes feellike I’m working just to payfor all these nuptials, I can’tcomplain. I love weddings —the food, the dancing, the decorations,the pictures, and seeingfriends and family.And I especially love thefact that I get to travel for halfof these occasions.Earlier this year, I foundmyself in Destin, Fla., for awedding on the white sandybeaches next to the emeraldgreen ocean, and it was my jobto welcome guests and handout seashell necklaces. Thenight ended with a lantern-litdinner on the pier and a stomachachefrom the unlimitedcheesecake dessert platters.In June, one of the weddingsbrought me to the North Shorefor a nautical theme and insteadof cake, we were servedour choice of Dairy Queendilly bars!For my cousin’s wedding inJuly, we spent the evening justdown the road at the CrowRiver Winery, and we lit 50lanterns and sent them into thestarry night sky.I’ve been lucky to experiencethese beautiful, uniquecelebrations, and the weddingthis weekend will be just asmemorable as I’m driving allthe way to Granville, Ohio.I’ll be reuniting with highSilverLakeLeaderSilver Lake Leader, Thursday, September 5, 2013 — Page 3Weddings have been adding upThe Travel SectionBy Alyssa Schauerschool friends for an outdoorceremony, a S’mores bar, andwhat’s sure to be some greatdancing.

They were ready.”While he may be happy withthis week, Tschimperle knowshis team will have to continueto evolve, especially withHutchinson visiting on Friday.“No question about it, we dida lot of good things,” he said.“But there’s also room for improvement.Hutch is a verygood football team, but we are,too. We just have to prepare forthe next four days.”Leading the charge for thePanthers offensively was seniorhalfback Jake Stuedemann,who had 115 yards rushing on18 carries, and three touchdowns.The senior captain said theFire’s defenders were “knifingin, and really killing everythinginside.” Which promptedGSL’s offense to run outsidethe tackles more.“We started hitting the sixhole, and just reading the outside,”Stuedemann said.GSL racked up 263 rushingyards on 52 carries. Juniorquarterback Keaton Andersonwas seven of nine, and threwfor 93 yards and two touchdowns.The offense accrued 16 firstdowns, and 356 total yards, andFamily.left Tanner Grack to punt twicefor an average of 39.5 yards.The defense had a strongshowing in the season openeras well.Despite the big run fromJohnson on Holy Family’s firstpossession, the Panther defenseJust shortLady Panthers have won thefirst set of every game, still at 0-2By Josh RandtSports EditorDespite losing the first twogames of the season, the Glencoe-SilverLake varsity volleyballteam has been in every setof every game, and its captainshave definitely shown why theylead this team.Hosting the Holy Family Fireon Thursday for parents night,GSL claimed the first set 28-26,behind eight kills from captainsStephanie Klockmann and LexiKerslake.But the Fire came right backand edged the Panthers in thenext three sets, 25-20, 25-20 and25-23.GSL’s attacking percentagewas 14.63 in the first set, butdropped to -2.78 in the next set,as the Panthers committed nineattacking errors to only eightkills. That percentage improvedin the next two sets, but the Panthersstill lost.A young team with mostlysmaller players, GSL onlyamassed three solo blocks duringThursday’s game.Klockmann led the way with15 kills, Kerslake followed withnine of her own.The duo had 17 digs eachagainst the Royals. CortneyKonen and Taylor Novak eachhad 15 in that game as well.Layne Hermann had 29 setassists against Holy Family, and31 against the Royals.The Panthers boasted a 90.7service receive percentageagainst Holy Family, and 97.3percent against Watertown-Mayer.In two games, GSL has beenoutscored by a total of 15 points.The Panthers have scored 175points to its opponents’ 190.To top it off, Kerslake will beplaying with a plastic-castedbroken finger on her strong handfor approximately six weeks.Regardless of the two closelosses to start the season, and aninjured captain, head coach LoriSchwirtz is happy with theteam’s performance so far. Accordingto Schwirtz, the girlsjust need to learn to close out situationsthis year by being “a littlemore savvy.”“(We) can’t afford to get behindin a game when our opponentsare equal,” Schwirtz said.“We knew coming into this wewould be a predominantly smallteam, so we would have to bescrappy and play solid defense...

He was pushingoffensive linemen into the backfield all game, and disruptedsome key plays for the Fire.“I was definitely having myway with them,” Donnay saidwith a smile. “I could do whatI wanted. I was moving themand just overpowering them,hitting and reading. It was fun.”GSL hosts rival Hutchinsonthis Friday, who won a 16-13nail biter against Becker inovertime last week.The Tigers defeated GSLtwice last year, with the secondloss ending the Panther’s seasonin the Section 2 (ClassAAAA) championship game.Kickoff is scheduled for 7p.m. at Stevens Seminary Stadium.***A 39-yard return by JakeStuedemann started things offfor GSL, and about four minutesand eight plays later, DaltonClouse scored the Panthers’first touchdown on an 8-yardpass from Keaton Anderson.The Fire wasted no time retaliating,scoring in just threeplays, when Chazz Johnsonbusted a 64-yard touchdownrun on third and eight.But that was all the scoringHoly Family accomplished inthe game.Meanwhile, GSL employedits same style that’s been sosuccessful over the years:smashmouth, three yards in acloud of dust, football.The second possession forGSL started at its own 49 with11:14 left in the second quarter.After a first down, Stuedemannlost two yards up theupon to be successful.“We still have to work on fundamentalskills and passing andsupport,” Shults said. “And westill need to be in physically bettershape. Especially playingwithout subs. But I think it willtake care of itself — if we gowithout substitutions — if weget in better shape.”Senior midfielder EduardoHerrera echoed his coach’s observation.“Conditioning,” Herrera saidof what Glencoe-Silver Lakecan take away from these firstlosses. “We got some good conditioningfor the season, and wecan learn from our mistakes. Wecan definitely take some positivesaway, that we got someshots and a few attempts atgoals. We did some things right,so we can use that for the nextgame.”The two things the senior saidmiddle, but sprung a 42-yardtouchdown on the ensuing playbehind the right side of the line,giving GSL a 14-7 advantage.The Fire punted after eightplays on its second possession.Starting at their own 45 yardline, the Panthers gained 30yards on a first-down pass toJacob Popelka, which broughtthem to the Holy Family 27.After four consecutive rushesby Stuedemann, it was 21-7after the senior ran it in fromfour yards out.It was almost 28-7 headinginto halftime, but a deep passalong the sideline slippedthrough Stuedemann’s fingerswhich surely would have led topaydirt.The third quarter started offwith a Holy Family punt afterthe Fire gained some positiveyardage, but lost 11 yards on afumbled snap, which stymiedthe offense.A signature GSL drive ensuedon the team’s first possessionof the second half at itsown 20 yard line.Driving 80 yards in five minutes,the Panthers tallied anothertouchdown whenStuedemann lowered his padson the thirteenth play for a twoyardscore. The extra point attemptwas no good, leaving thescore at 27-7.Another Holy Family puntput the Panthers on their own36 yard line.This time, Anderson did thebulk of the work, rushing fivetimes for 39 yards. He scoredon third and goal after gettingflushed out of the pocket whenhe rolled to his left and foundTanner Grack in the corner ofthe endzone to make it 34-7.Silver Lake Leader photo by Josh Randtas Trevor Meed of Chain of Lakes attemptsto drive the ball over them.

Page 6 — Silver Lake Leader, Thursday, September 5, 2013Transit, other officials talk cooperationBy Lori CoplerStaff WriterA large group of city, countyand public transit officialsfrom several counties came togetherin Hutchinson Fridaymorning, Aug. 23, to talkabout how different transit systemscan cooperate — andpossibly consolidate — to providebetter service to riders.Beverly Herfindahl of District8 of the Minnesota Departmentof Transportation(MnDOT), said the talk ofmaking public transit systemsmore efficient started in 2011when, because of a largedeficit at the state level, “wethought transit could take a 30percent cut in funding.”The discussion centeredaround how public transit systemscould “still put the samelevel of service on our streetsif we had to cut,” said Herfindahl.“Usually (in cuts), serviceis the first thing to go, and wedidn’t want that to happen.”As it turned out, the 30 percentcut didn’t materialize, but“we had started down the pathto improve the efficiencies andeffectiveness of our transit system,”Herfindahl said.While there is a perceptionthat the state wants to reducethe number of transit systemsto 10 to 15 from the current 53systems, consolidation isn’tnecessarily the goal, Herfindahlsaid.Weather CornerBy Jake YurekWe finally got relief from the heat over the long weekend,but things heat back up this week as high pressurefrom the west moves back in. This blast shouldn’t be as hotor long-lived as the last batch, but temperatures shouldclimb close to, if not into, the 90s again Friday into Saturday.Rainfall continues to be the only thing lacking from ourforecasts of late, and we could really use some. Unfortunately,I don’t see any in the forecast until Sunday. A frontalboundary will drape itself over the area Sunday and be thetrigger of thunderstorms for someone. Right now there issome question as to where, but I like our chances of seeingsome rain Sunday.Looking toward next week, a cooler batch of air is tryingto make a visit from Canada, so I’m thinking we will cooldown towards the middle of next week. I can’t believe it isSeptember already!Have a great week, all; enjoy the good weather while it’shere.Ma dobry weekendem Mit dobry vikendWednesday night — Lows 55-61; partly cloudy.Thursday — Highs 79-85; lows 58-64; clear.Friday — Highs 84-90; lows 62-68; clear.Saturday — Highs 86-92; lows 62-68; clear.Sunday — Highs 78-85; partly cloudy/thunder.Weather Quiz: What does our normal weather look likeby the end of this month?Answer to last week’s question: Will the delayed summermean a delayed winter this year? In true meteorologistform, there’s no way of really knowing this, so myanswer would have to be maybe. In past years of late summers,it has trended towards a late start to winter. A latesummer sometimes also points to a colder-than-normalwinter as well, but only time will tell.Remember: I make the forecast, not the weather!People News“We would like to see fewercontracts,” Herfindahl acknowledged,“because wecould give more detailed oversightof contracts instead ofrunning around as much aswe’re doing,” but the overallgoal is to provide better serviceat, hopefully, the same orlower cost. MnDOT providessome funding for public transitsystems and oversees them.“We don’t specifically seeconsolidation for everyone,”Herfindahl said, but somesmaller systems may see thebenefit of joining with a largerone, especially as employeesretire or move on to other jobs.And MnDOT will have some“transitional funding” to helpwith re-lettering buses, newlogo designs and new contractswith personnel if there are systemsthat want to merge.But late in the meeting, GaryLudwig director of TrailblazerTransit, which serves McLeodand Sibley counties, said thatthere was still “an elephant inthe room” regarding consolidation.Ludwig said that Tom Gottfriedof the MnDOT state officeof transit, had specificallytold Trailblazer officials thatMnDOT’s goal is to reduce thenumber of transit systems to15.“That came straight from St.Paul,” said Ludwig.But Herfindahl insisted thatKrajewski earns doctorateLeianne Knoll Krajewski, daughterof John and Celia Knoll, graduatedwith honors from theUniversity of Minnesota, Minneapolis,with a doctor of nursingpractice degree in anesthesia specialty.Krajewski is a 1998 graduateof Lester Prairie High School, a1999 graduate of Ridgewater Collegein Hutchinson with a licensedpractical nursing degree, and a 2002graduate of the University of Minnesotawith a bachelor of sciencedegree in nursing. She resides inDuluth with her husband, Ryan, andis employed at Essential Health St.Mary’s in Duluth.LeianneKrajewskiwas not the case, and offeredto get something in writing toaddress the concern.Herfindahl also said thatchanges are not expectedovernight.“This is going to take a longand concentrated effort,” saidHerfindahl.Herfindahl said that cooperationbetween transit systemscould be something as simpleas sharing routes, administrationor compliance personnel(such as drug and alcohol complianceofficers), or as complexas an eventualconsolidation of systems.Jim Swanson, a SibleyCounty commissioner, saidthat part of the problem is thateach system has a defined“service area” which, in thecase of county systems, includesthe county and one milebeyond the county borders. Hedescribed each system as anindependent “silo” that doesn’tcross lines with other systems.MnDOT provides fundingbased on rides within the servicearea. Rides that extend pastthe borders of the service areaaren’t subject to MnDOTfunding.“Yes, we want to get rid ofthe silos,” agreed Herfindahl,“because we realize that is nothow people live.” Herfindahlsaid people are not constrainedin movement by county or municipallines.Rachel Schneiderman ofHeartland Express in RenvilleCounty, said that some transitsystems are already cooperatingwith neighboring transitsystems.“We’re already doing someof that; it’s just that nowMnDOT is saying its OK,”said Schneiderman.Participants threw out someideas ways to share services:• The possibility of havingtransit systems in joint powersagreements in which each partnertakes on specialized tasks,such as training, dispatching,maintenance or procurement,but each “partner” retains itsindependent status.• Shared, dedicated routesalong major transportation corridors,such as Highways 12,7, 212 and 19, with each system“feeding” into the route.• Opening borders of thetransit systems to improve efficiencyby sharing serviceswith other systems.Schneiderman suggestedthat the discussion now moveto the transit director level tocome up with some ideas.“We’re the ones who knowwhere we’re not doing ourbest, and where we need help,”said Schneiderman.Herfindahl agreed, but encouragedcommunication withcity, county and other officialsbecause they are the decisionmakers, she said.Submitted photoFriendly wagerGSL Superintendent Chris Sonju, left, and Hutchinson SuperintendentDaron VanderHeiden made their friendlywager on the GSL Panthers-Hutchinson Tigers footballgame set for Friday at 7 p.m. at Stevens Seminary Stadiumin Glencoe.
