Pastor Isaacson to retire fromministry on November 10By Marilyn Anderson

ZUMBROTA – After 28 yearsin the ordained ministry, PastorTom Isaacson will retire Novem-ber 10. An open house retirementcelebration will be held in his honorSunday afternoon, November 10,from 2-5 p.m. at United RedeemerLutheran Church at 560 West 3rdStreet in Zumbrota. A short pro-gram is planned at 3 p.m.

Pastor Ike, as he is frequentlycalled, and his wife Dianne cameto Zumbrota in March 2005 whenhe was began serving the UnitedRedeemer congregation as seniorpastor. Prior to that, Pastor Ike, anative of Grand Rapids, servedcongregations in Lake Mills andWaterloo, Iowa, and Mount Horeb,Wisconsin.

But the ministry wasn’t PastorIke’s first vocation. After gradu-ating from St. Olaf College, hetaught social studies and historyat the middle school level for 13years. He also coached footballand wrestling. His first teachingexperience was at Fosston wherehis four years included a time whenhe served in the military. It wasduring his nine years of teachingat Waseca that Pastor Ike felt thecall to the ministry after workingin several different capacities athis home church of Grace Lutheran.

As he reflects back on his timeat Luther Seminary in St. Paul inthe early 1980s, Pastor Ike statedthat their children, Mike andStevanna, were in grade school atthe time and “now they are olderthan when I took my first call.”He and Dianne are looking for-ward to spending more time withMike and his family who live in

Denver, Iowa, and Stevanna andher family in Charlotte, NorthCarolina.

Pastor Ike has found his contactwith people and being able to walkwith them through all stages oflife – including baptisms, confir-mations, weddings, and funerals– to be the most rewarding experi-ences of his ministry. Though hehasn’t kept track of the number ofbaptisms or weddings he has per-formed, it has been a busy timefor Pastor Ike recently. A confir-mation service was held October27 and he has performed five bap-tisms in the past two months andsix weddings in six months. Incontrast, meetings, especiallyevening meetings, won’t be missedin retirement.

You can still count on seeing

the Isaacsons in Zumbrota in thefuture. When he interviewed forthe job at URLC and moved toZumbrota, Pastor Ike found ev-eryone to be friendly and welcom-ing, and that is still true today. Hesaid, “We love our neighborhoodand wouldn’t want to live any-where else.” In addition to Ike’smom now living in Rochester,Dianne is a native of Kasson, soshe also has family members inthe area.

Dianne plans to continue in herrole as a rostered Mayo Hospicenurse. Passionate about music,Dianne has always been active withmusic wherever the couple haslived. In Zumbrota, she has sharedher musical talent by directing thecongregation’s “UR Singing Sis-ters” and the area’s “Heroes Choir.”She can sometimes be seen as anaccompanist at a concert or pro-gram at the high school.

In addition to more travellingand time with family, Pastor Ikeis looking forward to doing vol-unteer work, perhaps at MayoClinic and area hospitals. He isalso planning to golf more, some-thing he does purely for fun. It hasbeen where he finds release of ev-erything.

In the October congregationalnewsletter, “VOICE,” Pastor Ikeshared, “The experiences thatDianne and I have had here can-not carry a price – for they go farbeyond that. You have allowedDianne and me to become so in-volved with your lives in so manyways. We both feel that you haveopened your arms and permittedus to bring what talents and giftswe had to be used.”

Craft sale in Kenyon celebrates 40 yearsBy Alicia Hunt-Welch

KENYON – The annual 100Ladies and Gentlemen Craft Salein Kenyon celebrates 40 years ofproviding handmade decorativeitems and gifts. The sale is held atCurt and Marlene Morrow’s resi-dence at 45986 Highway 56 inKenyon. Area crafters use theirtalents to create woodworking,knitting, paintings, stamping prod-ucts, canned items, toys, baskets,decorative items and more for lo-cal consumers.

Some of the craftsmen are fromMilwaukee Wisconsin, Cedar FallsIowa, and throughout Minnesota.Curt said, “We enjoy the fact they

hand make it themselves.” Ascrafters themselves, the Morrow’sappreciate the work that goes intomaking and selling handcraftedlocally made products. They con-struct baskets, making about 75-100 per day! Their hottest sellingitem is the casserole carrier. Dur-ing the year they also travel toother shows to sell baskets. Marlenesaid, “It’s work, but it isn’t whenyou enjoy it.”

An additional feature is the“scarecrow contest,” a fun eventallowing people of all ages to casta vote for their favorite scarecrowon display. Cash prizes are awardedto the winners.

The event started out with 15individuals, and the craft show wasset up in Morrow’s basement. Overthe years, as the number of ven-dors grew, the craft show movedto the shed. Since that time im-provements were made to the prop-erty to host the event, including alarger garage, a paved drive, aparking area and more lighting.

The sale opened in October andruns through November 10. Itemsavailable are handcrafted in theUSA and items are restocked daily.The shop is open from 10 a.m. to8 p.m. on November 7, 8, 9, and10. For more information call 507-789-6223.

PI School to honor veteransBy Audra DePestel

PINE ISLAND – Pine IslandPublic Schools will host its an-nual Veterans Day program onMonday, November 11, in theschool’s gold gymnasium at 2 p.m.This year’s keynote speaker isTerry Throndson. The public is

invited and all area veterans areencouraged to attend.

Throndson, a 1970 John Marsh-all High School graduate, is a Navyveteran who served from 1971-1975 and was involved in the Viet-nam War. He is a committee mem-ber of the Southeast Soldiers Field

Veterans Memorial and an advo-cate for veterans. In December of2007, Throndson was given a goldmedal by the City of Rochesterfor community service for help-ing veterans and veterans affairs.

The program will include mem-bers from the Pine Island Ameri-can Legion, and music by the PineIsland Philharmonia Orchestra andsixth and seventh grade choir andcadet band. Kindergarten througheighth grade winners of the free-dom poster/poems contest willshare their designs and explain whatfreedom means to them.

PINE ISLAND – November isthe month for the annual Pine Is-land United Fund campaign. The2013 fund goal is $25,000. Ev-eryone who received the UnitedFund’s mailing this year is en-couraged to support local chari-ties and area services.

Changes were made in the pledgelist. Several large state and na-tional organizations running theirown charitable mail campaignshave been dropped from the list,and an effort has been made toinclude more local organizations.This is a convenient way to handlemuch of your charitable giving allat one time.

There is also a change on theBoard of Trustees. After manyyears of dedication as co-treasur-ers, Pam Wilson and Ann Murrayare resigning. Donna Nielsen and

Barb Arel will be taking over thosejobs.

All donations are tax deduct-ible. Web addresses on the mail-ing can help contributors learnabout any unfamiliar groups.Undesignated amounts are distrib-uted equally among the groups,but it is easy to designate yourcontribution to a particular char-ity or service.

Any community members in-terested in serving on the Boardof Trustees should contact Presi-dent Glen Hemann, Vice Presi-dent Chad Horkey, Secretary JanSween, Public Relations ChairMary Bakeberg, or either of thetwo new Treasurers, Donna Nielsenand Barb Arel.

The Pine Island United Fund issimilar in name but not connectedin any way to the United Way.

To the Editor:I strongly agree with making it

mandatory for daycare service pro-viders to smoke outside at all times,not just inside when the childrenaren’t present. When children comeback in they are going to get sec-ond-hand smoke exposure just aseasily as if they were inside thehouse when the adult was smok-ing.

Keep daycares smoke-freeAlso, selling the E-cigs would

be a great idea too, because in-stead of the actual smoke there isjust vapor. I don’t get why peoplewould want to smoke in the firstplace, but they get the same ef-fects with the E-cigs as they wouldwith normal cigarettes.

FromDevil’sKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

Mission (Im)possible!

If you, dear readers (and thepresident), need to, watch the oldTV series “Mission Impossible,”especially the opening sectionwhich ends with the taped mes-sage, “Should you or any of yourteam get caught or captured, thePresident will disavow any knowl-edge of your team and your mis-sion!” Sorry, Mr. President, thatshow and movies are fiction. Inreal life, the buck stops at yourdesk.

When it comes to deciding whichpresident in the history of our na-tion was the most responsible,President Harry S Truman is clearlythe top of the list. You, PresidentObama, are at the bottom of thelist. You claim no responsibilityfor anything. Your claim to fameis the Affordable Health Care Act.You spent your political capitalon the passing of that law. Youhave nothing left for the imple-mentation of the law, its organi-zation, or its taxes.

After 3-1/2 years, you couldn’tdecide who would be responsiblefor the implementation, so who-ever had your ear at the momentgot to make suggestions andchanges to the website. You didn’ttake responsibility for the man-agement of the site and you didn’ttake responsibility for designat-ing the overall manager of the website. Now you know the conse-quences of not taking responsi-bility. No one and everyone was/is in charge. The testing is incom-plete and the website is not done.As an interesting tie-in, you haveexposed the security informationthat the federal government main-tains on us, the citizens of thisnation. The website uses this in-formation to verify the citizenswho try to use this website.

Mr. Snowden may have exposedthe extent to which the NationalSecurity Agency (NSA) spies onthe world including our friendsand neighbors and ourselves. Youhave further exposed NSA and therest of the security programs byessentially verifying what Mr.Snowden claimed. We have mem-bers of your administration andstaff, trying to protect you by say-ing you didn’t directly approve orknow exactly what NSA was do-

ing. Sorry, you do not get to dis-avow any knowledge of NSA’saction. The directives and poli-cies of security come from you.These policies must bear yourapproval and “blessing.” Any-thing else is a fraud perpetratedon U.S. citizens. You bear the re-sponsibility, blame, and shame forthe actions of the security organi-zations. Maybe it is time you tookstock of the damage you have doneto the nation and the presidency,including its history of precedentsfor action. Maybe, just maybe, youmight realize how much damageyou have done and resign. Presi-dent Nixon did it. PresidentJohnson did it (by refusing to runagain).

Your only claim to fame will bethe footnote that you were the firstblack American of African descentto be president, that your presi-dency ended in shame and embar-rassment. Until next week.

The nuclear energy option – go for it!To the Editor:

While the use of nuclear reac-tors for energy generation has aspotty history and remains con-troversial today, I believe that weshould greatly increase our invest-ments in this area. Just one of myreasons for this was aptly expressedby the gangster John Dillinger –when asked by a reporter why herobbed banks, his answer was “be-cause that’s where they keep themoney!”

Similarly, it is within the at-oms, not molecules, where seri-ous quantities of energy are storedand it is through the controllednuclear transformations that canbe made to occur in modern reac-tors that that energy can be reli-ably and safely released. “Ya but,”I can already hear many of yousaying. So in order to get past someof those negative reactions instantlyaroused whenever the word“nuclear” is used, let’s considersome of the actual history of thenuclear reaction developments thatbegan in the USA in the 1940s.

In describing that history, it isuseful to divide the nuclear reac-tors thereby built or envisionedinto four classes. Class I plantswere based on relatively primi-tive graphite-pile reaction cores –first developed during the SecondWorld War for the purpose ofmaking the fissionable nuclide,Plutonium-239, that was used intwo of the three atomic bombsfirst developed in 1945. The nuclearreactor that exploded at Chernobylin the Russian Ukraine in 1986was a distinctly outdated and primi-tive Class I reactor.

The Class II reactors were alsodeveloped in the mid-twentiethcentury and include most of thosein use today. They are based onmuch safer and more controllablewater-based reaction cores. Thereactors that were recently over-whelmed by the tsunami that hitFukushima, Japan, in 2011 were30- to 40-year-old Class II reac-tors.

The few new reactors that arebeing built today are Class III re-actors. They are based on the sameprinciples as Class II reactors but

include new technologies for in-creased safety, control, and use-ful lifetimes.

Class IV reactors are still in theirdevelopment stage and variousversions of them are expected tocome on board gradually in thenext several decades. They aregenerally based on the use of aliquid metal (such as sodium athigh temperature) as the coremoderator. These “fast-flux” re-actors, as they are called, are ca-pable of “burning” all of the heavyelements put into their core. Forexample, naturally-occurring ura-nium contains less than 1% of itsisotope 235 and this isotope, only,undergoes nuclear fission in con-ventional reactors of the types I,II, and III. In a class IV reactor,uranium-238 which constitutesover 99% of natural uranium isconverted to other heavy nuclideswhich then also undergo nuclearfission. In this way, all of the ura-nium added to a Class IV reactoris burned. Note also that the Earthcontains an almost inexhaustiblesupply of uranium-238 and otherheavy elements that can be usedin Class IV reactors. Even themassive amounts of waste prod-ucts accumulated from our prioruse of the older reactors can beused as fuel for Class IV reactors.

Another great advantage of ClassIV reactors is that their radioac-tive wastes are much easier to dealwith. They produce far fewer ra-dioactive wastes and these con-sist only of elements in the middleof the periodic table with radioac-tive half-lives much shorter than

the waste products of the conven-tional reactors.

In retrospect, it was clearly amistake to discontinue our researchand development in the area ofnuclear power plants some 30 ormore years ago. But we did notknow then as well as we do nowthe problem that would be posedby our continued dependence onfossil fuels. We do now know,however, that the problems posedby the use of fossil fuels are prob-ably not solvable while those as-sociated with nuclear fuels aresolvable. So even though we havesquandered several exceedinglyimportant decades that might havebeen better used to address ourcurrent global warming problem,it seems to me that we should getback on the nuclear track ASAP.

It seems pretty clear to me thatthe world’s future energy needsmust be met by a combination ofrenewables, nuclear, and increasedefficiencies while CO2 emissionsare cut to near zero within the nextcouple decades – no matter whatpain and sacrifice might be re-quired to make those cuts. Any-thing less might very possibly ren-der all other future endeavors ofmankind pointless. A new filmcalled “Pandora’s Promise” willalso present the case for “green”nuclear power and will be airedon the evening of November 7 onCNN at 8 p.m. Please watch it.After all, it is within the nuclei ofthe atoms that the bulk of our en-ergy is stored.

Have you receivedyour cancellation notice yet?

This is a column about fraud.Not about criminals defraudinggovernment programs such asMedicare and Social Security, butabout criminals in the governmentdefrauding its citizens. “If you likeyour health insurance plan, youcan keep your health insuranceplan. Period!” is a fraudulent state-ment, and everyone from the presi-dent down who promulgated it forthe past four years is morally ifnot criminally guilty of commit-ting fraud on a monumental scale.President Obama publicly madethat statement and others like it atleast twelve times. Now the spinartists are in overtime action try-ing to explain what he really meant.Let’s examine a few of the distor-tions.

David Axelrod, not currently partof the administration but a majorforce behind ObamaCare, tried tospin the fraud by limiting it to asmall minority: “The vast major-ity of people in this country arekeeping their (health insurance)plan.” I’ll have more to say on

that later. James Carville, Spin-meister for the Clinton campaignsback in the 1990s, tried to lay theblame at the feet of the insurancecompanies, as did President Obamahimself (“...bad apple” insurancecompanies have changed theirpolicies.) So here is a question: ifthe government issues a regula-tion requiring that all insurancepolicies include maternity cover-age (even for 50-year-old males),isn’t it reasonable that the insur-ance company might raise the ratesof all policies to accommodate thenew regulation? That’s exactlywhat has happened, and thesemorons say it is the insurance com-panies, not the government, whoare acting in bad faith.

Back to the Axelrod assertionthat only a few will lose their cov-erage. When he made the state-ment, the estimate was approxi-mately 16 million (holders of in-dividual policies). Now, Forbeshas come out with an estimate thatemployee plans will also be im-pacted, losing their “grandfather”status in one year, raising the na-tional number to 93+ million!Closer to home, a friend of minewho has an excellent insuranceplan through his union was justnotified that his policy will loseits “grandfather” status in a yearas well. Then what? Will the price

go up and the coverage down?Most likely yes.

Californians voted overwhelm-ingly for Obama in the last twopresidential elections, in whichObamaCare was a major issue.Here is a sampling of some of thereactions from those voters fromTownhall.com: “One man said he’dbeen ‘laughing’ at Republicans...until he saw his new premiums.Another offered this pitch-perfectdistillation of the tension betweenfeel-good liberalism and economicreality: ‘Of course, I want peopleto have health care. I just didn’trealize I would be the one whowas going to pay for it person-ally.’”

Does it take a cancellation no-tice for people to wake up? Mar-garet Thatcher famously stated that“The trouble with socialism is thateventually you run out of otherpeople’s money.” The mask is offthis administration. Socialreengineering is the overridinggoal. ObamaCare was passed with-out a single Republican vote ineither house of Congress. Demo-crats own this debacle, and theywill pay a price in 2014 and 2016.Unfortunately, good Americancitizens will pay a much heavierprice in the interim because of thisfailed experiment with socialism.

God bless America!

Zumbrota-Mazeppa choir studentsattend VocalEssence concert

ZM choir students who attended the VocalEssence concert in Minneapolis are, front row: Elyse Lodermeier,Georgia Hinrichs, Emily Rubio, and Jessica Anderson; back row: Ryan Bennett, Elizabeth Boettger, SophieHolm, and Dillon Downes.

MINNEAPOLIS – On Sunday,October 27, eight students fromthe Zumbrota-Mazeppa HighSchool choir attended Vocal-Essence’s first concert of their 45thseason at Central Lutheran Churchin Minneapolis. The concert in-cluded performances by theVocalEssence Ensemble, St. OlafChoir, and Northfield YouthChoirs, and featured professionalsoloists Maria Jette and DanDressen and a full orchestra.

The program performed byVocalEssence included a WorldPremiere of “Glorious Majesty(Psalm 104)” by Aaron Jay Kernisand “The Day is Done” by StephenPaulus. The St. Olaf Choir per-formed five numbers, and the fi-nal piece of the evening was amassed choir performance of“There was a Child” by JonathanDove. This was the world pre-miere of this piece. Jonathan Dovespoke about the piece he composedthirty minutes before the program.He explained how this piece wascommissioned to celebrate the lifeof Rosemary Pickering’s son whoat age 19 drowned while snorkel-

ing in Thailand.Dove began looking at poems

by Charles Causley and LangstonHughes describing the wonder ofbirth; by Wordsworth, Keats,Traherne and Emily Dickinsonconjuring up different aspects ofchildhood naughtiness, carefreeplayfulness and youthful adven-tures. He said, “My choices wereinformed by stories Rosie andRichard had told me about theirson Robert.” Most texts arecelebratory, but there is no avoid-ing the terrible moment when a

young life is cut short in the midstof adventure. Shakespeare evokesthe grief of a mother for her childand Tichborne sings of death com-ing too soon. He didn’t want thepiece to end there, and it was im-portant to Rosie to remember allof the joy her son’s short lifebrought her. Walt Whitman’spoem, “There was a Child wentForth” is a radiant vision of a childadsorbing everything around himand connecting with the wholeworld.

By Alice Duschanek-MyersPINE ISLAND – On October

28, Kim Hillberg of Clinton, Lar-son, Allen LLP presented the Zum-brota-Mazeppa School Districtaudit report ending on June 30,2013 to the school board. She saidthe district’s financial statementswere accurately stated and the dis-trict has a “clean” audit opinion.There were no issues of legal com-pliance in the district’s financialstatements.General Fund

The General Fund (GF) Balancetotaled $1,100,000 at the end of2013. This included $504,000 ofnon-spendable fund balance with$264,000 for the lots for the voca-tional education constructionprojects, $67,000 of student ac-tivity funds, and other committedfunds.

The GF Unreserved/UnassignedFund Balance totaled only$173,902, or 1.7% of the budgetedexpenses. Hillberg said the audi-tors recommend at least 8%-16%or enough to cover operating ex-penses for at least two months. In2012, the Unreserved/UnassignedFund Balance totaled $243,022.

Hillberg said, “Inflation aloneeats the fund balance. One of the

biggest factors that affected theschool district’s revenues was thatstate funding has not kept up withinflation for many years.” Therewere also some added costs in 2013from the fire in 2012.

She told the board, “You havetwo choices to gain additional rev-enue; a referendum or cuts, whichyou have already done. If the ref-erendum does not pass you wouldhave to cut the amount of the fundbalance just to stay where you are.”

Hillberg said that student activ-ity funds were separated from thedistrict funds as mandated by theMinnesota Department of Educa-tion (MDE). These student fundsrequire a separate audit and opin-ion.

The amounts in the audit areestimated. The district does notexpect any significant discrepancybetween the estimated and actualamounts of revenues due from theMinnesota Department of Educa-tion (MDE), because the numberof students the district serves con-tinues to be stable.

Other factors that can affect theaccuracy of the statement are esti-mates for depreciation of capitalassets, absences payable to em-

ployees that must be compensated,and post-employment benefits thatmust be paid out. The district de-preciated assets based on the rec-ommendations from the MDE.

School districts develop a gen-eral fund balance by planning aheadto minimize the need to borrow.Hillberg told the school board, “Thedistrict is doing well in the gen-eral fund if you do not have tosubsidize it because you don’t havefunds.”Other fund balances

The Assigned/Designated Fundbalance was $59,385 in 2012 and$66,679 in 2013. The balance in

Health and Safety was $8,755 in2012 and $10,910 in 2013.

The balance of the DisabledAccess Fund was $4,990 in 2012and $0 in 2013. Most districts have

2013 Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District audit is “clean”finished spending these dollars.

The Debt Service Fund was$842,916 in 2012. In 2013, thebalance is $9,024,162 that is com-mitted to pay off more debt in 2015.

The Food Service balance to-taled $25,458 in 2012 and 2013.Hillberg said this is good becausemany districts have suffered de-creases in revenue in this fund fromstudents adjusting to the new fed-eral guidelines in the lunch pro-gram.

The Community Service balancetotaled $106,823 in 2012 and$194,278 in 2013. Revenues aregenerated from the very success-ful Cougar Care program.Revenues and expenditures

In 2013, the General Fund Rev-enues came from 77.4% statesources, 15.8% local propertytaxes, 4.7% federal sources, and

2.1% other sources.School funds are calculated from

the Weighted Average Daily Mem-bership or WADMs. Zumbrota-Mazeppa had 1239 WADMs in2013, compared to 1225 WADMsin 2012. To give an idea of thelevel of stability in the district,there were 1248 WADMs in 2009.

Auditors recommend thatschools work to increase the un-assigned general fund balancebecause of the schools’ heavy de-pendence on state funding pay-ments. Spending in the district isfocused on the instruction of stu-dents and quality education.

The included table compares theexpenditures per student in theZumbrota-Mazeppa schools withthe averages in Minnesota districtswith 875-1149 WADMs and inthe entire state, in 2013.

Kenyon-Wanamingo’s state tripdreams end in section finalsBy Faye Haugen

ST. PETER – They were soclose the Kenyon-Wanamingo vol-leyball team could almost smellthe mini doughnuts cooking at theXcel Energy Center in St. Paul.The Knights’ dream of playing inthe state volleyball tournament wasstopped in the Section 2AA finalsin St. Peter on Saturday when sixth-ranked Belle Plaine topped theKnights, 25-14, 25-23, 17-25, and25-17.

“This match was bittersweet.These girls worked so hard andplayed with heart and determina-tion. It just makes me sad to seesuch a great group of girls endtheir season,” said Coach Jen Neri-son.

Before a large crowd at Gusta-vus Adolphus College, the Knightsgot off to a rocky start, trailing 18-7 in the opening game. “I don’tknow what happened. We lookedreally nervous,” remarked CoachNerison who saw her team lose by11 in the opening game. “We gotoff to a great start in the secondgame. We just needed to stay upand keeping pushing and play bet-ter. We had a couple of plays wherewe looked jittery and that allowedBelle Plaine to get back into thatsecond game.”

The Knights led 8-1 in the sec-ond game, but the Tigers, using abalanced hitting attack, rallied totie the score at 13 and then takethe lead. KW fought back to closeto 23-24, but a Belle Plaine killended that game.

KW got off to another good startin the third game, up 19-10 beforegoing on to win 25-17, but thefourth game was a battle from thestart. KW matched BP point forpoint through much of the match.Trailing 13-15, it looked like aKW kill would put the Knights apoint behind the Tigers at 15-14.But the official ruled against theKnights, and they trailed 16-13instead. KW never really recov-ered after that, falling 25-17.

Belle Plaine had a number ofvery hard hitting players at thenet, and the Tigers were alsoscrappy on defense keeping theball alive. “Watching them warmup, their setter did not look thataggressive, but they were able toget kills from all over the court.We worked on our blocking inpractice because Belle Plaine tendsto set further away from the net. Ithought our blocking was okay,but Belle Plaine is a very goodhitting team,” remarked CoachNerison.

Audra Clark led KW with 10kills. Meg Clark had 20 set as-sists. Bailey Auseth and AudraClark each had 17 digs. Audra Clarkhad three ace serves and Siri Svig-gum had five blocks.Kenyon-Wanamingo 14 25 17 17Belle Plaine 25 23 25 25

The roar is backBy Faye Haugen

PINE ISLAND – Dreams aremade to come true. The Pine Is-land Panther’s dream season con-tinued on Friday evening whenthey came from behind to beatNorwood Young America 29-28in the final minute of the Section2AA final in Pine Island.

With the victory, the Pantherswill advance to the State ClassAA tournament for the first timesince 1997. PI (9-2) will face un-ranked Maple Lake (7-4) at 7 p.m.on Friday at Richfield.

“It was a very good ball game,”said Coach John Stapleton. “Thewin makes for a lot of excitementfor the kids, for our communityand our school. That’s what makesit worth the whole experience.”

The Panthers did not get off tothe start they wanted, throwingtwo interception the first two timesthey had the ball. The first inter-ception led to the Raiders first score,a 14-yard pass from Isaac Hormannto Casey Clemenson for a 7-0 NYAlead at the end of the first quarter.

Pine Island got on the score-board early in the second quarterwhen Ben Warneke caught a 10-yard pass from Jared Lohmeyer.Warneke kicked the first of threePATs to tie the game 7-7.

NYA scored midway throughthe second quarter on a one-yardrun by Clemenson, but the Pan-thers came right back, scoring ona one-yard plunge by Ryan Mc-Nallan with 32 seconds to play inthe half to make it 14-14 at thebreak.

The Raiders put together a 10-play, 55-yard drive, scoring on a10-yard pass from Hormann toAlex Eichner, but on the ensuingkickoff, Panther sophomore AaronGillard celebrated his 16th birth-day with a 76-yard return to knotthe score 21-21.

The Panthers lost senior start-ing center, Andre Ringle to a bro-ken arm late in the third quarter.Duku Moses came in and playedwell in a difficult situation.

The Raiders got rolling early inthe fourth quarter, scoring on aneight-play, 80-yard drive, cappedby a 20-yard run by Noah Peter-son to give NYA a 28-21 lead withfour minutes to play.

Starting from their own 35-yardline, the Panthers used their pass-ing and running to move the ball.Twice they needed to convert on

fourth, one being an 18-yard passfrom Lohmeyer to Spencer Schultzto the 22-yard line, the other aquarterback sneak on a fourth andone to move the ball to the 10-yard line with 47 seconds to play.Lohmeyer spiked the ball to stopthe clock with 37 seconds to play.Lohmeyer’s first pass fell incom-plete, but the second time he wentto the end zone. Warneke, despitebeing double-teamed, was able tomake a leaping grab to score with27 seconds to play to move thescore to 28-27.

Coach Stapleton sent the offenseback on the field to go for twopoints and the win. Lohmeyerhanded the ball off to Ben Farrell,with Ian Radtke and Luke Thorn-ton providing the blocking up front,Farrell ran untouched to the endzone for a 29-28 Pine Island lead.

“Our offensive line played verywell. Both Ian and Luke made greatblocks for Farrell,” remarkedCoach Stapleton. “I thought, withthe way we were playing, that wecould go for two points instead ofkicking the ball for a tie. It paidoff.”

Norwood Young America stillhad 23 seconds to work with start-ing from their own 35-yard line.Hormann completed one pass tothe 50-yard line, and he then hadto spike the ball to stop the clockwith eight seconds to play sincethe Raiders had used all of theirtimeouts. Hormann’s second passfell incomplete, and his third passwith four seconds to play failed to

connect as time ran out. It wasthen time for the Panther faithfulto celebrate their amazing 29-28victory and their trip to the statetournament.

Jared Lohmeyer was 9 of 20passing for 142 yards, two touch-downs and two interceptions. De-spite being double-teamed mostof the game, Ben Warneke madeseven receptions for 152 yards.Ryan McNallan rushed for 55 yardson 15 carries.

“Ben Warneke made some bigplays for us, and our offensive linedid a great job of giving JaredLohmeyer time to throw,” pointedout Coach Stapleton.

Superintendent Tammy Berg-Beniak said many residents haveasked why if the population isconstant there is a need for morespace. She said the state has in-creased required programs thatrequire more space. There havebeen increases in special educa-tion, early childhood, and tech-nology.

John Champa said that from theMDE reports Pine Island has thelowest square footage per studentin the Hiawatha Valley League,which ranges from Pine Island with188 square feet per student to thehighest with 280 square feet perstudent. In the MDE analysis, PineIsland ranks lowest in space perstudent in the state for schools with900 to 1650 students. The highestsquare footage per student in thesesimilar sized schools is 355.

The buildings need maintenance,sealing, tuckpointing, caulking, andnew windows. Other issues iden-tified by consultants from Kraus-Anderson Construction and Rego& Youngquist (architects) are siteconstraints, sidewalk repairs, newoutside doors, handrails and otheraccommodations for the Ameri-

Task force recommends Pine Island Schoolconsider constructing a new building

cans with Disabilities Act, poorlighting, asbestos, aged electricalsystems, aged mechanical systems,drainage problems, indoor air qual-ity, water leaks from the repairedroofs, failing plumbing, asbestoswrapped pipes, small lockers, andlack of storage.

Kraus-Anderson Constructionand Rego & Youngquist evalu-ated the buildings and prioritizeddeferred maintenance, repairs, andupgrades that are needed in thedistrict buildings. Their recommen-dation is to complete Priority 1 in1-3 years, Priority 2 in 4-10 years,and Priority 3 in 11-25 years tocontinue use of the buildings. Theynoted that in six years the costswill increase by millions of dol-lars. The district is also losing fundsfrom energy consumption. SeeTable 1 which outlines the costsof these priorities in each build-ing.

Berg-Beniak reviewed the MDErequirements for acreage and build-ing space for schools. The PineIsland facility is 216,000 squarefeet. The MDE recommends300,000 square feet of buildingspace for the 1200+ students en-rolled. The Pine Island Schoolproperty is 37 acres. The MDErecommends 75 acres.

A breakdown of acreage thatthe MDE recommends for PISchools:

• Elementary–15 acres plus oneacre for every 100 students

• Middle School – 25 acres plusone acre for every 100 students

• High School – 35 acres plusone acre for every 100 students

The task force investigated fiveoptions and not doing anything toadd space. See Table 2 for thecosts of the options.

Two of the school board mem-bers had to leave the retreat at 9p.m. No decision was made oneither option. The board resched-uled the work session for Thurs-day, November 7 to 6 p.m. Theretreat and discussion will con-tinue after the school board meet-ing. The school board plans to makea final decision on one option atthe meeting on Monday, Novem-ber 18 at 7 p.m.

Berg-Beniak said, “I want to

emphasize the importance of theexisting building to the commu-nity… It is of great value and thereis no intent of letting it go. Wehave 216,000 square feet here andmuch of it is good, usable space.”If the school board decides to goto the voters for approval to buildanother building, there will be plansto improve the existing facilities.
