By Alice Duschanek-MyersPINE ISLAND Following the

Pine Island School Board meet-ing on November 7, a board re-treat was held to continue discuss-ing the community facility taskforce recommendation to build anew school on an additional site.

After the board looked at theiroptions and a list of guiding prin-ciples shared with them by resi-dents, the majority of the boardagreed to support funding a newPreK-4 school at a different site

for $25.5 million and remodelingthe existing grades 5-12 buildingfor $9.3 million, which voters willdecide on next year. A final deci-sion on the proposal will be madeat the regular meeting on Novem-ber 18.

Input was gathered from com-

munity meetings in March andJanuary, surveys, comments fromresidents, and meetings with thetask force. From that input thislist of guiding principles wasformed:

Finding a solution that will lastfor at least ten years into the fu-ture, planning for 3.5% growth or1,700 students.

Building for ten years but plan-ning for twenty. Dont lock thedistrict in a box.

Planning for facilities forSTEM and technical curriculum.

Creating a solution that attractsand increases community growth.

Creating a plan for the exist-ing facility that continues a strongpresence in the downtown.

Being wise with the dollar.Invest in the best engineering value.

Improving to facilitate tech-nology for 21st century learningand expansion of the curriculumwith STEM.

Creating a plan that addressesschool safety and security.

Making it attractive to futurehome buyers.

Including any input from thecommunity planning team to fitinto investment for communityneeds.

Not planning for more operat-ing expenses in the annual budgetthan they can afford to run thedistrict.

Planning for needs vs. wants.Consider the taxpayers.

In the solution, providing fundsand plans for the existing facility.

The task force recommendedeither building a new PreK-4 schoolat a different site for $25.5 mil-lion or a new grades 9-12 highschool for $41.1 million on a newsite. These costs do not includethe purchase of land. The Minne-sota Department of Education rec-ommends these acreage amountsplus one acre per 100 students:elementary school, 15; middleschool, 25; high school, 35.

Considering the costs, eachboard member outlined preferenceswith costs for a new school andchanges to the existing buildings.There was consensus to build anew PreK-grade 4 school.

The board considered the costsof spending $4.6 million for nec-essary deferred maintenance thatis a priority to complete in thenext 1-3 years in the 1934 and1959 buildings. The board agreedto demolish ($250,000) and re-build the 1934 building and cre-

ate a new secure entrance ($1.25million) and possibly additionalspace on the second floor. Theyagreed to demolish 75% of the1959 building ($200,000), leav-ing the kitchen, and rebuildingsecondary classrooms to accom-modate STEM programming, labs,

or technology ($3.55 million). Theboard determined it was better tospend $5.25 million to upgradethe space than $4.6 million fordeferred maintenance.

A new 600-seat auditorium couldbe constructed with the new 1934entrance for $6.5 million. The boardmembers were not all in favor ofthis because of the costs. Theyagreed to include the auditoriumin a separate question on the bal-lot for taxpayers to make the deci-sion.

Including the changes to the1934 and 1959 buildings, the ma-jority of the school board agreedwith spending a total of $9.3 mil-lion on improvements and remod-eling of the existing building forgrades 5-12. Some of the otherimprovements include library,weight room, renovations for musicand art, conversions for high schoolspace, and meeting areas. A por-tion of the courtyard could be re-modeled for hybrid learning andadditional cafeteria space.

The board requested more in-formation to consider improve-

The cost is $0.5 million of de-ferred maintenance to resurfacethe old track to be safe for prac-tice, or $2 million to build a newtrack and center. The board is con-sidering including this as a sepa-rate question on the ballot for tax-payers to make this decision.

FromDevilsKitchenBy Jan David Fisher

The dollar is worth...

Years ago, our money was basedon the value of gold. Several pres-sures were applied to the federalgovernment to remove the gold.First, we were running out of goldto use as treasury markers. Next,the federal government was hold-ing the value of gold at an artifi-cial level of $35 per ounce. Andfinally, the market needed the priceof gold to rise for not treasury usein the manufacturing of jewelry,electronics, and other devices.

Before the conversion from gold,our dollar bills had a statement onthem that the paper money could

be redeemed with gold and silver.The one dollar bills were alsoknown as silver certificates. To-day, the one dollar bill has printedon it, Federal Reserve Note, andThis note is legal tender for alldebts, public and private. Somepeople have proposed that ourcurrency be based on the Gross

National Product less the nationaldebt. This means our money is

almost worthless, as the nationaldebt approaches the GNP. In anycase, we have faith and believethat a one dollar bill is worth onedollars worth of goods and ser-vices. The Federal Reserve Sys-tem is now responsible for the valueof the dollar. The Federal Reserveused to base its money policy onthree indicators measuring themoney supply. These indicatorsare known as M1, M2, and M3.M1 is the total supply of money inbills, coins and the demand de-posits in the banks. M2 and M3are just additions to M1. Today,the Fed uses mostly just M1. Now,for the key question:

What happens to our currencyand economy when we stop usingmoney? Before the advent of creditcards, we used cash and checks.

In order for the check to be good,you had to have money in a bankaccount to cover the check. Therich started the use of credit cardswith the American Express cardand Diners Club card. Today, weeach have some credit cards anddebit cards (to access our cash).For most of us, we never see much

real cash. Our paycheck is directlydeposited into our accounts. We

can send an electronic transactionto the credit card company andour bank to pay our bills. Not veryoften does actual cash move any-where near us. The tools the Feduses to manage our money andeconomy are based on cash. Thetools have been driven to one ex-treme with no more adjustment inthe direction needed. To say thatthe Federal Reserve System is fly-ing blind is an understatement!We need a new economic theorywhich is not based on just cashbut credit as well and not based onKeynes and Keynesian Theory.We need to take a more math-ematical and calculus approach toour economy. We can start withM1, and we need to create anM1credit (the total credit limit onall cards). Then we need to mea-

sure the movement of money andcredit, followed by the rate at whichit moves and lastly, the rate ofchange of the moving rate. Inphysics and calculus, this is knownas position, velocity, and accel-eration. This approach might ac-tually add some credibility to thestudy of the economy and econo-mists. Until next week.

OutdoorRamblings

By MelissaGerken

Cold feet?

A first snow always brings backchildhood memories of that eageranticipation of the first flakes ofthe season. Most folks rememberthose days when evenings werespent hoping for a snow dayand being rewarded upon awak-ening by the sight of a deep layerof sparkling diamonds outside.After a quick breakfast, we tumbledout into that fantasy land to playwith the neighbors and/or siblings.This often involved snowballfights, sledding, building snowforts, and, of course, oldreliablethe snowman.

Most of us also remember thatspecific point in outdoor play whereone would suddenly realize that

our feet had become painfully coldleaden blocks. This is when, allfun forgotten, we hastily burst in-doors whining and crying to mom,My feet are cold! We all recallthe pins and needles felt when thoseice block feet were plunged intowarm water. Ouch!

Fast forward to adulthood. Manyof us still enjoying our winter out-doors activities whether its ski-ing, snowboarding, or just taking

Fido on his daily walk and thosetoes can still become painfully sore.So whats a person to do? Whatkind of socks are many of us wear-ing in the winter? Cotton. Cottonsocks are great for summer, but

are complete losers in the winter.If those feet of yours tend to sweat,which most of them do (some folkshave sweatier feet than others!),those cotton fibers will hang on tothe moisture, effectively bathingyour feet in sweat, causing lots ofevaporative cooling and therefore,lots of cursing, whining, and bounc-ing about. To put it bluntly, cottonsocks are killjoys.

Enter the sheep. Specifically themerino sheep, which happen toproduce a very fine, soft wool. Afew years back, my parents intro-duced me to Smartwool brandsocks, and life has never been thesame. Not your grandmotherssaggy wool socks, these things willblow your mind. Essentially

itchless, these soft socks will keepyour feet dry, wicking the mois-ture away from your skin, whichresults in toasty feet and a veryhappy demeanor indeed. They alsohappen to be naturally antimicro-bial, which means odor isnt a prob-lem even if worn over and over(mom, I would never do that, prom-ise!), and somehow they dontshrink in the wash.

Offered in many styles, colors,and weights, shoppers should easily

find a pair that meets both styleand warmth requirements. I pre-fer the hiking weight sock (morewarmth) for most days, but willuse the thinner styles for dressieroccasions. For women, these socks

can be found locally at Wild Gin-ger. For guys (and gals, too), Gan-der Mountain and Cabelas carry ahuge variety of Smartwool prod-ucts. The only drawback? Price.They can be upwards of 15 bucks,but they are worth every singlepenny.

However, buyer beware. Thereare many cheaper imitations, someok, most not. Check out the fiberanalysis. The socks must containat least 68% merino wool and theremainder some sort of elastic, suchas nylon. Acrylic (or other fakefibers) doesnt count and will re-sult in much disappointment andgnashing of teeth! Another coldweather tip: winter footwear, es-pecially boots, should be at least a

size larger than normal. Tight bootswill cut circulation, negating thewonderful insulating qualities ofthe socks. So get in that closet,check your boots, then get shop-ping!

Still not convinced enough toshell out hard-earned cash like thatfor silly old socks? Ask for a pairfor Christmas. Better yet, gift yourfriends and family with some finefoot duds and prepare to receivesome serious love.

Strategic planning, please keep reading!

For some reason, when peoplehear or read the words strategicplanning, many of them imme-diately tune out. Please keep read-ing, and Ill explain how the stra-tegic planning we are going to bedoing in Goodhue School may beof interest to you, our school com-munity.

In my career in education, Ivebeen involved in many forms ofstrategic planning. Some of theseforms were very good and pur-poseful, and some were just plainawful. The difference to me wasthe degree to which the strategicplanning made sense and wouldprove to be useful in the near fu-ture. It is very important that stra-tegic plans have a clear purpose,

are put together in a reasonableamount of time and will actuallybe used rather than just sitting

collecting dust on a bookshelf.In Goodhue, we are doing a lot

of things right in our school. Thereis no need to seek to redesign ev-erything were doing. In fact, theopposite is true. We need to buildupon the strong foundation thatalready exists and move from goodto great in a number of areas. Oneof the best ways to accomplishthis goal is for the school boardand community to be clear in theirexpectations to the school admin-istration and staff about their pri-orities and expectations for stu-dent learning outcomes. A goodway to create and share such amessage is through meaningfulstrategic planning.

On Monday, November 25, from

5-7 p.m. the Goodhue School willembark on the first of two ses-sions of focused and purposefulstrategic planning. The GoodhueSchool Board invites all members

of our community to attend andparticipate in the strategic plan-ning sessions. We want to hear

from as many voices in our com-munity as possible. We will bemeeting in Room 200 at the schooland our first session will focus oncreating or revising our schoolsmission, values and vision. Themission is a brief statement of pur-pose. The values are approximatelythe seven most important guidingprinciples (things like integrity andexcellence). The vision is a de-scription of the six to eight de-sired outcomes that will let us knowif we are doing a great job, or not.Again, please join us on Monday,November 25 at 5 p.m. for thefirst of two strategic planning ses-sions. The second session will beheld prior to the school boardmeeting in January. And, thank

you for continuing to read this ar-ticle.I can be reached by phone at

Stop government growth at local levelTo the Editor:

I hope the grant for a welcomecenter is rejected by whoever hasto approve it. If we need a wel-come center at the trailhead, thereshould be a completed trail first.It would also be of greater benefit

to be at the Zumbrota History Cen-ter building where it would likelygenerate more foot traffic for lo-cal businesses who would then re-ally see some benefit. Would thecurrent city hall work? I dont seethe community room where wego to vote being over-utilized withactivity. Was it even consideredas a less costly alternative?

What are we welcoming peopleto, the city or the unfinished trail?The old argument that it is a stategrant from the DNR so it reallydoesnt have an impact on local

taxes is a false statement. It stillcomes out of our pocket, at least ifyou pay taxes to the state. Doesthe project provide economic ben-efit to the community (which Ihope the council would have lookedinto)? If it does, I think that we as

taxpayers should be able to see abusiness plan that would provethe point. Is there an overall posi-tive result for the majority of tax-payers who are paying the bill, oris it for the benefit of a select fewand for people not from here?

My biggest concern is the long-term growth of the government.We need to stop that growth! With-out a doubt, this project will leadto a growth in government. F irst itadds a building that will need tobe maintained. Second, the citypaid cash to remove property from

the tax rolls to put the building on.I wonder how much property thecity or EDA owns? From what Iunderstand, the staffing will beby volunteers? For how long willthat work? I would venture a guessthat withing five to ten years it

will be staffed by city-paid em-ployees, as history has shown thatvolunteering in this communityseems to wane after a short pe-riod. I know that this council can-not commit to never having paidemployees staff this welcome cen-ter, so having them is a foregoneconclusion.

Enough said. Council membersor a mayor voting for this will notearn my vote the next time theyrun.

A lifetime of presidential deceptions

PublishersNotebook

By Pete Grimsrud

The Barack Obama administra-

tion repeatedly offered falsehoodsfor the attack on our embassy inBenghazi. Obama professed out-rage at the Bush administrationfor the use of Guantanamo Mili-tary Prison but continues to use ithimself.

He promised to foster a posi-tive image of America through-out the world, but hes been caughteavesdropping on allies and kill-ing innocent people with droneattacks. In the new book DoubleDown: Game Change 2012, heis quoted as telling aides that he isreally good at killing people (withdrones).

Obama promised to reach acrossthe aisle, but he apparently meantwith the IRS. He passed the Af-fordable Care Act without oneRepublican vote and bypassing

typical procedure after TedKennedys seat was lost in an elec-tion that was thought to have con-sequences. His signature legisla-tion may be remembered for thisquote, If you like your health plan,you can keep it. He lied.

He is not the first, nor will he bethe last. We can lump him with allthe other deceivers of the oval of-fice. George W. Bush deceived

all Americans about weapons ofmass destruction proof in Iraq. In2003, he announced that combatoperations in Iraq were over witha Mission Accomplished signbehind him untrue.

Bill Clinton lied to Americansabout an extramarital affair withGennifer Flowers while runningfor president. In defense againstthe Paula Jones sexual harassmentlawsuit, he denied having sexualrelations with the young intern,Monica Lewinsky. Clinton is re-membered for the affairs, thestained dress, and obfuscating withthe definition of is.

Some lies, like Clintons, maynot have a direct impact on policy,but they certainly impacted hiseffectiveness to run the country.Other lies cost elections. GeorgeH.W. Bush promised conserva-tives, Read my lips: no new taxes.This failed promise cost him hisbase and votes to third party can-didate Ross Perot in the election.Bush is also accountable for hispart in the Iran-Contra affair asvice president. He lied and saidthat he was out of the loop.

Ronald Reagan also pleadedignorance in the Iran-Contra af-fair. The action was in direct vio-lation of the U.S. Congress. TheInternational Court of Justice ruledthat the U.S. violated internationallaw in Nicaragua. Covert arms salesto Iran, our hostage-taking enemy,were secretly diverted to the Nica-raguan Contra rebels.

Jimmy Carter will always be

remembered for the Iran hostagecrisis. Americans were gripped bythe audacity of Iranians stormingour embassy. This was blowbackgoing back to the Eisenhoweradministrations overthrow of thedemocratically elected leader ofIran, Mohammad Mosaddeq, whothreatened to nationalize oil.

Gerald Ford never had much ofa chance following and pardon-ing Richard Nixon for Watergate.

Nixon is infamous for buggingoffices of political opponents andusing all government agencies athis disposal to harass them.Watergate was a needless break-in to the Democratic party head-quarters. He told the Americanpeople that he was not a crook.But this lie cost him the presi-dency.

Lyndon B. Johnson escalatedour involvement in Vietnam byfabricating the Gulf of Tonkinincident to mislead and draftAmericans into war.

The Presidents of my lifetimemay believe their deceptions werejustifiable to achieve whats bestfor the nation. And their support-

ers sometimes argue that this isbetter than the alternative.

Hope and Change turned outto be just a hypocritical attempt atchanging the Washington culture.As I peer into the future, I seemore of the same. Especially ifthe objective is simply to reachanother civil rights milestone byelecting a woman.

County to seek bids for park extensionBy Paul Martin

RED WING The GoodhueCounty Board of Commissionersagreed at its November 5 meetingto seek proposals from those in-terested in using 26 acres of landthat was added to the County Parkin 2013. The land lies betweenHwy 19 and the Byllesby Dam,and doubles the size of the CountyPark. It formed part of the Goudyfarm, and was part of a parcelbought by Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources to enable thebuilding of a new trail and foot-bridge planned to open in 2014.When complete they will linkCannon Falls and the CannonValley Trail to the Dakota CountyPark as part of the Mill TownsTrail, which is planned to extendto Faribault at some future date.Use must be family friendly

Public Works Director Greg

Isakson explained the draft Re-quest for Proposals. It sets outvarious possible uses, as listed bythe Parks Board. They includeaccess to trails and the river withboat launches; a gift shop or ca-noe and bike hire; a sports com-plex or fitness trail; a space tohost concerts, swap meets, or artshows; a campground for tents andRVs; or, more ambitiously, a pa-vilion or amphitheater. Isakson

said, These are just suggestions,but people are welcome to comeup with their own plans. As weweigh up different proposals, wewill award points for higher orlower suitability for the CountyPark. But any use must be family-oriented and park-related.

The board agreed to invite bids,and to publicize the opportunityas widely as possible. The countywill host an informational meet-ing and work with any interestedparties. There will be a deadlineof January 31 to submit broad con-cepts, after which staff will workwith serious applicants who willbe required to post a $5,000 bond.The bond would be forfeited if anapplicant pulls out after the countyhas invested many hours workingwith them on their bid.Disband the dam committee

Commissioners embraced a

welcome chance to disband a com-mittee that is no longer needed.The Lake Byllesby Advisory Com-mittee has brought togetherGoodhue and Dakota County rep-resentatives to oversee the main-tenance of the Lake Byllesby Dam.Now that Goodhue County hassold its interest in the dam, it is nolonger needed. Commissioner RichSamuelson pointed out that, if thereis an emergency with the dam,public safety will be in the hands

of the countys Emergency Man-agement Office.Extra internet capacity

The board agreed to buy use ofa new high-speed fiber internetlink between Red Wing andHastings. IT Director RandyJohnson said Our main currentinternet pathway goes throughWinona. Although breaks in thelink are rare, we have suffered threethis year. When that happens, itcauses major problems. This linkwill give us a backup, and extracapacity. It will also help us sharedata with Dakota County. Theboard agreed to accept DakotaCountys offer of 20 years of useof the new cable for a one-timefee of $30,000.Red Wing plans for new bridge

Pine Islands dream

season comes to an endBy Faye HaugenRICHFIELD The Pine Islandfootball team got off to the startthey wanted in Fridays State ClassAA quarterfinal game againstMaple Lake. They just didnt getthe finish they dreamed of. ThePanthers fell 28-10 to Maple Laketo end their season at 9-3.

We got off to the start we wantedto. We just couldnt maintain it,lamented Coach John Stapleton.Our defense played very well inthe first quarter. We took care ofour defensive responsibilitiesagainst their running offense . Onoffense we ran the ball well andwere really clicking.

The Panthers may have played

their best quarter of the season inthe first 12 minutes of Fridaysgame in Richfield. The PI defenseshut the Irish running game downin the first quarter, allowing just17 yards. PI got on the scoreboardwhen Ryan McNallan found run-ning room down the sideline, rac-ing 51 yards to the end zone. BenWarneke added the PAT. The Pan-thers stopped the Irish on theirnext drive, taking over on the MapleLake 37. The drive stalled andCoach Stapleton called out the fieldgoal unit. With a strong wind athis back, Warnekes 45-yard at-tempt looked like it was going tobe short. The ball clipped the goalpost and rolled over the bar for a10-0 lead.

The Irish got their running gamegoing just before the half when

Dusty Strub found running room,racing 78 yards for the score with5:04 to play in the half.

Maple Lake took the momen-tum at that point, and we werenever able to get it back, remarkedCoach Stapleton. I looked at thefilm and Maple Lake really didntdo anything different. They justgot more aggressive.

Maple Lake scored twice in thethird quarter. A 12-yard TD runby Strub gave the Irish a 14-10lead, and Nic Pauman rushed infrom the one to make it 21-10.

Cal Redemske scored on a two-yard run to open the fourth quar-ter for the 28-10 final score.

Maple Lake got all of their 319yards on the ground, as they failedto connect on the only pass they

threw. Pine Island rushed for 116yards, but 106 of them came in thefirst half, as the Irish defense closedup the holes that the Panthers foundin the opening half.

Maple Lake had some veryspeedy running backs. Five (Dusty

Strub), 20 (Trevor Borell) and 33(Cal Redemske) were very goodrunners, and once they got goingwe had a hard time stopping them,remarked Coach Stapleton.

Jared Lohmeyer was 5 of 22passing for 110 yards. The coldand very windy conditions weretough to play in. Ben Farrell madethree receptions for 72 yards. RyanMcNallan gained 114 yards on 19carries.

Ben Warneke, who had a ter-rific receiving game last week inthe section finals, drew a doubleand triple team on just about ev-ery play.

Pine Island ends the season witha 9-3 record. The Panthers willgraduate 10 seniors in ZachKennedy, Andre Ringle, AlexKautz, Ian Radtke, Ryan McNal-lan, Spencer Schultz, BrandonMiller, Luke Schmidt, Jared Lo-hmeyer and Ben Warneke. ThePanther offense will return threeto four starters and the defense

will get six starters back.We had a very good season,

and this is something we can buildoff of. It is up to the kids in howmuch work they want to put induring the summer, pointed outCoach Stapleton.Pine Island 10 - Maple Lake 28

became a volunteer at the foodshelf in Oronoco about three yearsago. She heard about a food driveat Grace Lutheran Church. Whilecollecting food, she met LanceSorenson who talked to her aboutvolunteering for the Oronoco foodshelf. Pettey said, After talkingwith him, I signed up to help them.Currently she devotes about sixhours a month at the food shelf.Pettey waits on the clients whocome for food by helping themshop. During that time she alsovisits with them. They are quitea group of people, she said. Theyhave needs but they very muchappreciate the help they are ableto get.

Originally from Plainview,Pettey has lived in Oronoco for 42years. She and her husband owned

and operated S&M Marine butrecently retired the business. Nowwith the extra time on her hand,

Pettey said volunteering will takeon a more prominent role in herlife. She said, There are rewardsto itnew friendships and some-thing fun to do with your free time.Volunteering just works for me.

She said, I enjoythe work I do, and I get to knowpeople in the community. Ive metmany new friends while volun-teering at the food shelf.

Pettey said the food shelf is al-ways in need of more volunteers.The task is huge when the Chan-nel One truck comes, she ex-plained. There are a lot of boxesto carry in and food to put on the

shelf. For each recipient, paper-work also needs to be completed.The food is then weighed before itis carried out to their vehicle. Peopleinterested in volunteering for thefood shelf can contact Pettey orSorenson. Pettey said, We arevery lucky we have Lance. He is agreat organizer, very friendly, andhe is dedicated.

The food shelf in Oronoco is atthe Presbyterian Church. It is openthe second and fourth Wednesdayof the month from 5-7 p.m., ex-cept for the holidays when hoursmay be changed.
