• • • • • • • • PIHS earns bronze medal from U.S. News and World Report PINE ISLAND – Pine Island High School earned a bronze medal from U.S. News and World Re- port in the publication’s 2015 na- tional rankings. The U.S. News rankings include data on more than 21,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Of those, 6,517 schools were awarded gold (500 total), silver (2,027), or bronze medals (3,990) based on their per- formance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. The steps a school must pass to be awarded a medal are: 1) Determine whether the school’s students were perform- ing better than statistically expected for students in their state. 2) For schools passing this first step, assess whether their disad- vantaged students – black, His- panic, and low-income – were outperforming disadvantaged stu- dents in the state. 3) Schools that made it through the first two steps became eligible to be judged nationally on col- lege-readiness performance, us- ing Advanced Placement or In- ternational Baccalaureate test data as the benchmarks for success, depending on which program was largest at the school. Fourteen gold medal high schools achieved the maximum College Readiness Index of 100. By Alice Duschanek-Myers PINE ISLAND – A job posting and application for a city admin- istrator are posted on the City of Pine Island webpage. On July 21, the city council ap- proved a resolution to reorganize the City of Pine Island’s adminis- tration. City code requires the coun- cil to designate persons, commit- tees, or bodies to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the city administrator. The resolution will go into effect when a city admin- istrator is hired. The mayor (currently Rod Steele), deputy city clerk (currently Stephanie Pocklington), finance director (currently city clerk Jon Eickhoff), personnel committee, department heads, and councilor Jerry Vettel have been perform- ing these administrative duties and responsibilities since February 19, 2013. City attorney Bob Vose said to the council, “You amended the code when the former city admin- istrator (Abraham Algadi) was released.” He said the duties were reorganized then and this resolu- tion is an appropriate action. There could be more amendments if the city hires an administrator, with duties returning to the city admin- istrator. In the resolution, the council designated the mayor as the city’s chief administrative officer. The council will oversee this officer and the administration of city busi- ness. The resolution does not del- egate or grant to the mayor any authority that requires the approval of the city council. The mayor can delegate any duties not assigned by city code or council action, but must report the delegation at the next council meeting. The duties assigned in the reso- lution for the city administrator will be performed in consultation with the mayor and department heads. The administrator will pre- pare the agendas for all council meetings and provide a council agenda packet including a copy of all minutes to be considered and copies of all other proposals, communications, or other docu- ments as are deemed necessary or proper for advance consideration by the council. Special meetings of the city council may be called as provided in city code, section 2.03, by the city administrator. The city seal will officially be kept in the custody of the city adminis- trator. The duties of the accounting clerk (currently Carol Krueger) are to provide a compiled list of all verified claims for payment for goods or services rendered the city during the preceding month at each regular monthly council meeting. The deputy city clerk was des- ignated as the city staff liaison to the planning commission. In con- sultation with the city attorney, the deputy clerk will be respon- sible for processing of zoning, planning, or land use applications and approvals. Eickhoff said, “Carol Krueger was designated as this liaison with planning and zon- ing until this gap is filled.” The council also approved a draft of the updated personnel policies. ZUMBROTA – Country music singer and songwriter David Lee Murphy will headline the Goodhue County Fair Grandstand on Fri- day, August 14, at an exciting night of new fair entertainment. The evening will kick off with action-packed bull riding, barrel racing and mutton bustin’ from MT Bucking Bulls at 7 p.m. Murphy will take the stage imme- diately following the rodeo with “Forgotten Highway” as the open- ing act. Murphy’s hits, including “Dust on the Bottle,” “Party Crowd” and “Loco,” have become staples of country music, and he has even more songwriting credits to his name. Murphy has helped pen numerous modern day country hits, including Kenny Chesney’s “Liv- ing In Fast Forward” and “Live A Little,” Jason Aldean’s “Big Green Tractor” and “The Only Way I Know,” and Jake Owen’s “Any- where with You.” Adult tickets will be available for presale at Zumbrota Ford, JB’s Tavern in Wanamingo, and the Country Station in Goodhue. Tick- ets will also be available at the gate. Additional Goodhue Country Fair grandstand events include: • Tuesday, August 11, at 7 p.m. – Lawnmower Derby • Wednesday, August 12, at 7 p.m. – IMP Demolition Derby • Thursday, August 13, at 6:30 p.m. – Tractor Pull • Saturday, August 15, at 6 p.m. – IMP Demolition Derby David Lee Murphy Arels retire after 35 years Barb and Ken Arel, owners of Arel’s Flowers and Gifts, are joined by longtime employee Mary Paquette, right, outside the shop. Ken holds a cake made of flowers that he made in honor of his mother’s 93rd birthday. By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND – Ken and Barb Arel, residents of Pine Island and owners of Arel’s Flowers and Gifts on 108 Main St S, are retiring and selling their business after 35 years of business. The Arels are offer- ing to assist the new buyer(s) of their well established business with the transition if desired. The doors will close with or without the sale of the business on August 22. A going-out-of-busi- ness sale will take place in mid- August, tentatively planned for around August 12. A customer appreciation celebration will also take place at Arel’s Flower and Gifts on August 22 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. The event will celebrate not only the Arel’s retirement, but also the retirement of longtime em- ployee Mary Paquette, who has been working at the floral shop since it first opened. For the Arels it is a bittersweet feeling, as they will miss all of the people, but both are ready to en- joy their retirement and spend more time with their family. Paquette said that although she is retiring from the floral shop she will con- tinue to work part-time for now. Loyal customers have commented that they don’t want Arel’s to close, but they understand and wish them well. The Arels started their floral shop business with humble beginnings in March of 1980. They rented a small space from Alton and Eleanor Youngkrantz, selling silk and fresh flowers in the building they are still located in today. Besides be- ing the Youngkrantz family home, the front part of the building was set up like a mini mall of sorts, with a few other small businesses occupying space to sell goods. As the other businesses left the build- ing, the Arels took over more of the space as their business ex- panded. They eventually bought the entire building in 1995. Over the years Arel’s Flowers and Gifts continued to grow to include cards, gifts, decorative arrangements, home décor, and consignment space. The Arels have lived in Pine Island for over 46 years. Ken started teaching at Pine Island School in 1968. The following year he was drafted, but returned to teaching at Pine Island in 1971. He is origi- nally from Red Lake Falls, Min- nesota, were he grew up on a farm. Barb (Peterson) started her teach- ing career at Pine Island School in 1969. She is originally from Milnor, a small town in North Dakota. Ken retired from teaching in 2001 and Barb retired in 2007. Ken and Barb met while teach- ing and married in 1973. They have three grown children. Their old- est Betsy lives in Washington, middle child Emilie lives in New Jersey, and youngest Joe lives in Arizona. The couple also have one grandchild. The Arels are excited that their children are planning to come home and attend the cel- ebration. For more information about the floral shop call Ken at 356-4386 or 272-4063. Developer rejects road paving; Oronoco City Council ponders its next move By Karen Snyder ORONOCO – Developer Steve Jech’s refusal to give River Park subdivision streets a second coat of paving got attention from the Oronoco City Council at its July 21 meeting. City Attorney Fred Suhler said Jech declines to pay for the roadw- ork despite a contract that requires him to do so. The developer’s balking makes suing him futile, Suhler said. If Jech lost, he wouldn’t pay. “The developer was supposed to pay for the paving,” Suhler said, “but because he won’t, you have two choices.” They are: (1) assess River Park property owners for paving costs or (2) “Don’t do it at all and let River Park have the only gravel streets in Oronoco.” Mayor Kevin McDermott asked city engineer Joe Palen about the paving’s price tag. “It’s a big number,” Palen replied. “We’re in no position right now to make a decision,” McDermott said. The council tabled the item and will return to it at an upcoming meeting. An objection to Gold Rush’s new setup hours Councilor Skyler Breitenstein read a letter from a Gold Rush dealer who is unhappy with the city’s new ordinance establishing setup hours for vendors. The dealer uses a rented semi-truck to haul in his merchandise and sets up on private property. In the past his big rig has rolled into town a few days before Gold Rush’s Friday start, and he unloaded it and, to the consternation of other vendors, began selling immediately. The councilors turned down his offer to pay a generous fee to the city for the privilege of getting in early to off-load and set up. They agreed to make no exceptions to the new rule that bans vendors from going to their lots before 1 p.m. the day before the show. What’s more, considering the semi’s size, they’ll ask the dealer to rent two smaller trucks instead. “Semis are too big for this city,” Breitenstein said. Awaiting the new fire truck Fire Chief Dan Sundt reported that he’s received no word from the manufacturer on the status of Oronoco’s new fire truck now under construction. While making a list of new apparatus for the truck, he discovered that approximately 80 percent of the current gear doesn’t need replacing. Other business In a 4-0 vote (with Councilor Trish Shields abstaining), the council okayed spending up to $8,500 to finish this year’s city road projects. A year behind schedule, completion of the new city shop is finally in sight. The council set a special meeting for 7 p.m. July 28, with the agenda to include discussion of the bids on the work left undone by the contractor, Hartco Construction. The council will hold its next regular meeting at 7 p.m. August 18 at Oronoco City Hall/ Community Center.

    AsThe Worm

    TurnsBy Jeanne Truestedt

    Humble hostas

    Known as the friendship plantbecause of its ease in being di-vided and then shared with oth-ers, the humble hosta is a real trea-sure. It tolerates everything fromshade to sun requesting only wa-ter, grows lushly for the season,and then sleeps all winter to groweven more vigorously the nextspring. With over 3,000 varietiesto choose from, one can find ev-ery size, shape and color imagin-able to add to your landscape. Lim-iting favorites is the hard part ofgrowing hostas!

    Deer and slugs view all thosegreen leaves like The Old Coun-try Buffet, so be prepared to share.The older and thicker the substanceof the leaves, the more resistant

    the plant is to damage from slugs,hail, or acorns. Avoid plantinghostas with flimsy substance ifyoure looking for specimen qualityplants.

    Sized from six inches to six feet,theres a hosta for almost everyspace available. But allow themtime to reach their full potentialbefore dividing them in the fall.And be sure to dip your spade in ableach solution (one part bleachto 10 parts water) to avoid diseasewith each division you make.

    Every year there are better hy-brids to consider purchasing: big-ger flowers, colored petioles(stems), different leaf textures, andnew leaf patterns. Purple and redpetioles are now reaching into theleaf to add even more interest.Needless to say, todays hostashave come a long way from thegreen and white variety grandmagrew. Whether royal reds or regalpurples, the hostas you plant to-day will be just as vigorous andreliable without preferential treat-

    ment.The key to hosta growth is wa-

    ter, especially in hot weather. In-stant tomato fertilizer with mag-nesium would be helpful in thespring if you want bigger leaves,but its not required as long as thesoil is good and you water regu-larly.

    All those large leaves can beput to good use if your yard isshort on trees. Oxygen exchangeis one of the biggest benefits oftrees, and hostas can do just aswell in half the space. Should youwant to do your part to help theclimate, plant some hard workinghostas. Allow them to clean upthe air, cool the garden, and addcolor and curb appeal all at thesame time. Should your hostasincrease, multiply and fill yourcorner of the earth to bursting, sim-ply divide and pass them to othersin the spirit of friendship. Youllfind the humble hosta to be cli-mate friendly, earth friendly, andneighbor friendly.

    History

    The National Geographic Soci-ety has produced a new magazine-History. Currently, History ispublished every other month. Eacharticle is about some part of worldhistory. The article may be gen-eral and not very deep, or it maybe specific and go into great de-tail. The articles usually have alist of references for going deeperinto the subject. In any case, I findthe magazine interesting and edu-cational.

    The current issue has a coverarticle about Genghis Khan whichis a title and not his name. He usedwhat we would call light calvary.His soldiers were excellent horse-men and archers. Their saddleshad stirrups which most saddlesat the time did not. These allowedthe riders to stand up while shoot-ing arrows and improved theiraccuracy. He and his followersused trickery to win just as muchas arms. He learned the lesson

    that it was better to have the en-emy surrender without a forcefulengagement than to fight to thedeath. When he started his west-ern campaign of conquest, he hadalready conquered China. He cameto Europe with about a third of hisarmy because he had divided hisforces into three armies. He ledthe attack on northern Europe withone of his sons. A second oneled the invasion into southernEurope, and a third one wentthrough the Middle East and thenEgypt. For a variety of reasons, hestopped and did not cross the SeineRiver in Germany. He was wor-ried about supply lines. What hedid not know was that the entireEuropean forces were less than200 mounted knights and 2,000men on foot. He still had over15,000 men with him. That is howclose we came to speaking Mon-golian.

    Another article is about the li-brary of Alexandria, how it wasfounded, how long it lasted, andwho possibly destroyed it. Onceagain religion played a major role.Other articles are about the Chero-kee Indians, Spartacus (real, notthe movie), Babylon, and miraclesand medicine in Ancient Greece.

    It was a great read. I recommendgetting a copy and reading it. Ialso suggest getting a subscrip-tion, but only if you like readinghistory.

    At the opposite end of the read-ing spectrum, I finished readingthe 37th novel (!?!) of the land ofXanth (alternate Florida) and thelatest collection of puns. The titleis a pun of sorts Esrever Doomwhich is mood reverse writtenbackwards. The author is PiersAnthony. This is a fun adventurein a fantasy, magical land. This isthe place where food and clothesgrow on special trees. Pie tree fora variety of pies and pant tree forunderpants are just two of the punsof Xanth. Another fantasy seriesis the Discworld by TerryPratchett (recently died) whichcombines fantasy and satire in thetraditional English sense of satire(think Gullivers Travels). TerryPratchett wrote 40 Discworldnovels in his lifetime. The uniquestyle he used to explain some ofthe puns in the books were ex-plained with footnotes which weremore puns. Often you need to un-derstand English society to un-derstand the pun. Until next week.

    Anothergreat golfteam in 1939To the Editor:

    In last weeks article by WayneAnderson, 50 continuous yearsof high school golf in Zumbrota,the 1939 team was mentioned, butno details were given. Zumbrotawas not part of a conference thatyear, but Coach Dan Soli orga-nized a team consisting of JarvisKnutson, Ramer Holtan, RobertBerg, and myself. Home and awaymatches were played withNorthfield, Kenyon, Albert Lea,Austin, and Owatonna. Result:Zumbrota never lost a match.

    World full of greed and crimeTo the Editor:

    Its a sad world we live in. Mod-ern technology is destroying thecountry. Our government is evenmore to blame.

    You have to have common sense.Dont believe everything you aretold. This has been going on forsome time.

    My folks were poor people. They

    started farming during the Depres-sion. In those days, people helpedone another. Someone who hadmore money helped the poor.Nowadays, not everyone, but fartoo many, think the heck with theother guy because they thinktheyre better than you. They thinkthat all the material things theyhave makes them better than the

    person with less. So what do weget? A world full of greed andcrime. There are too many evilpeople.

    I was told by a police officerthat its going to get worse. Youare not safe now, so I dont knowwhen people are going to wake upand elect people who will get usback on track to love your neigh-bor and set examples for theyounger generations.

    We cant have the county de-stroyed by evil. The military hasprotected us for years and what dowe do? Be self-centered andgreedy. Thats not working.

    BOSTON, MA MirandaMollenhauer, a junior at Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School was nomi-nated for and attended the Con-gress of Future Science and Tech-nology Leaders in Boston, Mas-sachusetts, from June 28-30, 2015.

    The congress is an honors-onlyprogram for high school studentswho are passionate about science,technology, engineering or math-ematics (STEM). The purpose ofthe event is to honor, inspire, mo-tivate and direct the top studentsin the country who aspire to bescientists and technologists, to staytrue to their dream and, after theevent, to provide a path, plan andresources to help them reach theirgoal.

    Mollenhauer was nominated byAmerican hero and astronaut BuzzAldrin, Science Director of theNational Academy of Future Sci-entists and Technologists to rep-resent ZM based on her academicachievement, leadership potential,and passion for science and tech-nology.

    During the three-day congress,Mollenhauer joined students fromacross the country and heard NobelLaureates and National Medal ofScience winners talk about lead-ing scientific research, she wasgiven advice from deans of theworlds top tech universities andlearned about cutting edge ad-vances and the future of scienceand technology.

    The academy offers free ser-vices and programs to students whohave the desire to learn more abouttheir future in science or technol-ogy. Some of the services andprograms the Academy offers in-clude online social networksthrough which these future scien-tists and technologists can com-municate; opportunities for stu-dents to be guided and mentoredby tech and science leaders; andcommunications for parents andstudents on college acceptance andfinances, skills acquisition, intern-ships, career guidance and muchmore.

    The Academy was founded onthe belief that science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathemat-ics (STEM) education play a criticalrole in enabling the United States

    to remain the economic and tech-nological leader of the globalmarketplace of the 21st centuryand that we must identify prospec-tive talent at the earliest possibleage and help these students ac-quire the necessary experience andskills to take them to the doorstepof vital careers. Based in Wash-ington, D.C. and with an office inBoston, the Academy was char-tered as a nonpartisan, taxpayinginstitution to help address the cri-sis by working to identify, encour-age and mentor students who wishto devote their lives to advancesin society as scientists, technolo-gists, engineers, and mathemati-cians.

    At the conference, Mollenhauerwas given an opportunity to at-tend the Ultimate Medical Intern-ship. The Ultimate Medical In-ternship is a 17-day trip toAhmedabad Gujarat, India, in thesummer of 2016. This trip offershigh school students the opportu-nity to work side by side with doc-tors as they treat their patients andperform procedures thatMollenhauer would never have theopportunity to do until she was afourth year medical student! Shesaid, This once in a lifetime ex-perience will give me the toolsneeded to jumpstart my lifelongdream of becoming a doctor.

    City Council met Thursday, July23, 2015 to review the annual auditdone by Scanlon, Murch, andAssociates. Mark Murch presentedthe audit, saying that the firm hadno disagreements with city man-agement, but warned of internalcontrol issues when people withmaintenance access have controlof assets.

    Murch said that variousGovernmental Accounting

    Standards Board rules continue tochange how accounting ismeasured. Cities will have toaccount for their net pensionliability in the future, but it willnot affect the City of Zumbrotasfund level. The citys net assetsare up $295,000.Next years budget

    City Administrator Neil Jensenand Mayor Rich Bauer said theyrecently had the most cooperativefire board meeting in years. TheZumbrota Fire Chief Mike Bo-raas had optimistically asked fora 34% increase in funding. Jensenand Bauer said that they and thetownships had negotiated a 7%+increase to bring back to theirrespective boards. They also saidthat a grass rig that could bepurchased new for roughly$135,000 may be achieved by justbuying a new truck and using theold tank/pump for half the price.

    Jensen said that he hadconservatively budgeted for a 20%health insurance increase, but waspleased to say that the increasewould likely be 9%. He said thatnext years budget is wrong basedon changes over the last two days,including an increase for Leagueof Cities liability insurance on thecovered bridge.ATV/UTV/golf cart ordinance

    The council has decided to writea new ATV, UTV, and golf cartordinance. Police Chief PatCallahan provided guidance forthe council and offered guidelinesfor these types of vehicles fromhis previous job in Hector, MN.These guidelines include mirrors,

    slow moving signs, proper insur-ance, and a license fee.

    Councilor Dale Hinderaker wasconcerned about a winter driving,lack of lights, and insurance if thesevehicles are going to be on thestreet. Councilor Tina Hostagerexpressed concern over golf cartsdriving on Highway 58. Bauerechoed her concern on CountyRoad 6, citing tractor trailers go-ing to the sales barn. Callahan addedthat these types of vehicles areprohibited under normal circum-stances from driving through thepark and on highways.

    The council tabled the discus-sion for a later date after agreeingthat any vehicle allowed on thestreets must be driven by a licenseddriver.Police officer hire

    Ryan Bolling will be offeredthe job of police officer. The deci-sion was made after a discussionof whether the council should re-veal the identity of their first choicebecause the newspaper would printhis name. Jensen said that theycannot do a background checkwithout first officially offering thechosen candidate the position. Cityattorney Matt Rockne had no le-gal alternative, so the council unani-mously agreed to offer Bolling theposition.

    Before the meeting closed,Jensen said that the council shouldmeet a half-hour before the nextmeeting to examine two manholesalong the sewer line from DairyFarmers of America through thepark to the waste treatment plant.He said that the clay pipe is inbetter condition than the new con-crete pipe and warned that the cor-rosive stuff is cause for seriousconcern.

    DNR QUESTION OF THE WEEKQ: It seems like there are a lot of

    small hammer-handle pike whereI fish. Is this true across Minnesota?

    A: DNR sampling and anglercatch reports show that northernpike populations differ greatly invarious regions of the state. In thenortheast, pike are present inrelativel y low numbers andrelatively large sizes. They growslowly there but can reach trophysizes due to limited fishing pressureacross a large number of lakes.

    In southern Minnesota, pike areless abundant and dont reproduceas well as in the north, but theygrow fast. Southern Minnesota hashigh fishing pressure, though, andpike are often harvested beforethey can grow to large sizes.

    The north-central area is plaguedby too many small pike (under 22inches) . There is moder ate tohigh fishing pressure with highharvest of large and medium sizepike. Pike grow slowly here, anda lot of small hammer-handles isthe result.

    DNR fisheries is exploring theidea of a zone concept where north-ern pike regulations could becustomized to best meet thedifferent management objectivesfor each zone . Such an approachcould protect large pike in thenortheast, increase pikepopulations in the south andeventually solve the problem oftoo many small pike in north-central Minnesota. To learn more,

    and to comment on the pike zoneconcept, visit www.mndnr.gov/pike .

  • ChurchesKW area residents attend National Youth Gathering

    Members of Trinity Lutheran Church in Wanamingo who were among those at the ELCA National YouthGathering in Detroit are, from left to right, front row: Lisa Dierks, Megan Erickson, Megan Groth, ErinGudknecht, and Carter Leininger; back row: Pastor Chris Culuris, Caleb Greseth, Ellyn Beulke, Peyton Hilke,Jon Dierks, and Jack Beulke.

    By Alicia Hunt-WelchDETROIT, MI Fifty teens and

    adults from the Wanamingo andKenyon areas traveled to Detroit,Michigan, on July 15 for the five-day Evangelical Lutheran Churchin America (ELCA) NationalYouth Gathering. Joining thou-sands of Lutherans from acrossthe country, the participants lis-tened to speakers and a variety ofmusicians, and took part in acts ofservice. Teenager Mary Hjermstadof Kenyon said, It was reallyamazing seeing 30,000 peoplecome together for one purpose. Ithelped me grow in many ways asa person, and overall it was just anincredible experience.

    The gathering was open to youthsentering grades 9-12 and for 2015high school graduates active in anELCA parish. Participants pre-pared for the gathering through amulti-month curriculum of Biblescripture on this years event theme,Rise Up, which was also to pre-pare them for a life of faith. PastorChris Culuris of WanamingoLutheran Church and TrinityLutheran Church of Wanamingosaid it was important for the teensto take part in the event, to servetheir brothers and sisters in De-troit, experience powerful worshipservices, listen to compellingspeakers, enjoy inspiring music,learn more about their faith, andhave fun.

    Activities included nightly wor-ship at Ford Field with 30,000ELCA Lutherans; a service daycleaning up streets, picking weeds,and helping to create a commu-nity garden; a community dayenjoying campus ministry, learn-ing about ELCA colleges and uni-versities, donating hair for Locksof Love, donating to the ELCAClean Water Fund, games, andother learning experiences; and asynod day where personal storieswere shared from speakers whosejourney in life and faith has inter-sected with Jesuss story and theGospel. The group also took toursof the original Ford manufactur-ing plant and the Sanders choco-late factory.

    This was the first Lutheran youthgathering that Lisa Dierks of

    Wanamingo has chaperoned. Shesaid, I loved the worship services,but most of all I enjoyed getting toknow our area youth and helpingthem learn. According to Dierks,the day of service appeared to bethe most meaningful for the teens.Being able to give to others in aseemingly easy way they couldsee at the end of their time whatthey had accomplished. They alsohad the chance to speak with arearesidents who also shared howmuch they appreciated the service,Dierks said, adding, Besidesworship and service, the other high-light was spending time with ouramazing youth. Teenagers in gen-eral get a bad reputation, but wehave some amazing kids in ourcommunities. They care for eachother as well as strangers. Theyenjoy having fun, but also knowwhen it is time to be serious...Andthe girls taught me how toSnapChat, so I am cool now.

    The service day was the high-light of the trip for Erin Gudknechtof Wanamingo. She said, For ourcommunity service project wecleaned up sidewalks and streetsin the Highland Park area andcleared an area of overgrown treesto be made into a community gar-den. The whole time we were do-

    ing the cleanup the local peoplewould honk when they drove byand just say thank you! The localgas station gave our group a caseof water because it was a reallyhot day. When we were walkingback to get water a few peoplestopped their cars in the street toask us what we were doing all ofthis for and to tell us how thankfulthey were.

    Brielle Bauer of Kenyon saidthe trip was an extremely uplift-ing experience. My preconceivednotion of Detroit was completelyblown away by how welcomingand thankful the people were, shesaid. The idea was that if we allrise up together we can make adifference. The highlight for mewas meeting the people of Detroitand seeing how thankful they werethat we were there. It made merealize we really were making adifference.

    Megan Groth of Wanamingosaid, The Youth Gathering wasone of the most amazing experi-ences Ive ever had...We made newfriendships with other people inour group, our synod, and alsowith people from across the coun-try. Between the exciting andextremely hot day of missionwork where we helped clean up a

    community and the powerful ser-vices at Ford Field each night, myfaith definitely took another step.It was the most amazing feeling toknow you were in the same city as30,000 other Lutherans who areall there for the same reason.

    Area students who attended wereMichael Aaker, Brielle Bauer,Lauren Berg, Ellyn and JackBeulke, Mitchell Boyum, MorganBurow, Alexa Christenson,Corynne Dahl, Logan DeWitz, JonDierks, Kasey Dummer, SabrinaEggert, Megan Erickson, MeganFlom, Caleb Greseth, MeganGroth, Erin Gudknecht, NatalieHildebrandt, Peyton Hilke, MaryHjermstad, Mara and AlissaJohnson, Cass Kern, Corissa Kern,Connor Kropp, Carter Leininger,Max Mattson, Maddie McCauley,Nick Mittelsteadt, Hannah Paulson,Mia Peterson, Siri and Mara Quam,Marcus and Katie Rechtzigel,Emily Rechtzigel, Tanner Warner,Jacob Warner, Chance Washburn,and Celia Woock.

    Pine Island will beginrepair work at bathhouseBy Alice Duschanek-Myers

    PINE ISLAND On July 21,the Pine Island City Council di-rected the public works depart-ment to start electrical repairs atthe swimming pool bathhouse.Public works will install a newelectrical panel to eliminate a safetyissue listed in an OccupationalSafety and Health Administration(OSHA) assessment of PineIslands facilities. Lights, switches,and more outlets will be added inthe bathhouse. Some repairs willbe done immediately after the poolcloses.

    The council made the decisionto start safety improvements at thepool following a request fromPublic Works Director ToddRobertson. He appealed to thecouncil, saying, Let us start thework. We can make the poolAmericans with Disabilities Act(ADA) approved. I just need plans,so we dont waste money. Hedid not want to spend the taxpay-ers dollars on repairs and improve-ments if a referendum is passed toredesign and renovate the facil-ity.

    City clerk Jon Eickhoff said thatthere were two breaks in the pipesat the kiddie pool during this poolseason. One is fixed. The other isunder the kiddie pool. The breakis sucking sand into the pool, hesaid. The kiddie pool has beenclosed.

    The council requested all of theitems on the OSHA and ADA re-ports in order to prioritize a listand develop some plan for repairs.The council will evaluate the re-ports and continue this discussionat the meeting on August 18.Legal issues

    City attorney Bob Vose reportedthat the city sued Irma Ortega toforce removal of the trailer thatdoes not meet city code from herproperty. The city won in the liti-

    gation. On July 14, a judge saidOrtega must remove the trailer intwo weeks. If not, the city has theauthority to remove it. The ownercan then take it away for the costor the city can dispose of it. Ortegamust pay the citys legal fees.

    The council directed Vose towrite another letter to Tower In-vestments indicating a deadlineof September 1, 2015 to put fill onBioScience Drive. The water loopto the school runs under this roadand is vulnerable to freezing incold weather. Vose has writtenother letters requesting that Towercomplete the road.Other business

    The council approved amend-ments to the city code to allowhoney bees on private propertieswithin the city limits. The beecolonies must be registered withthe City of Pine Island and keep-ers will have a one-year permit.The council redefined the num-ber of colonies per acreage in thecode. There are also requirementsfor city notification of neighbor-ing property owners in the code.Hives cannot be located within 10feet of a dwelling or property line.

    The council approved paying$194,946.40 to Schumacher Ex-cavating for work on the 2015 NWStreet Project and $1,169,905.55to Haselton Construction for work

    on the PreK-4 school water andsewer utility project.

    The council discussed sharing25% of the cost of shaving downthe hill on 18th Street and 125thStreet by the new elementary schoolwith the school (50%) and NewHaven Township (25%). Thiscould reduce accidents in the areaof the school. Alternatives dis-cussed by the council were reduc-ing speed limits in the area andposting signs. The council mem-bers did not want to share in thecost of grating the hill down.

    Jon Eickhoff presented infor-mation about conduit debt financ-ing with Benedictine Health Sys-tem in Rochester. Mike Bubanyof David Drown Associates wasnot able to attend the meeting.Benedictine has requested the cityallow Benedictine to use the citysdebt qualification at the bank toborrow funds. The city would gain$21,000 from their savings in in-terest. The council was not in fa-vor of conduit debt financing. ErikDiskerud said, I need more in-formation. It think its a lot of riskfor $21,000.

    The council approved a 127setback variance for a garage forSue and Mark Bredehoft.

    The city will post signs to keeppets on a leash at both entrancesto the cemetery.
