Sharing life’s hard-won lessons Watching FBI and ATF agents raid his home is something that John Rubischko won’t soon forget
STAFF PHOTO BY TERRY DAVIS
To illustrate his point on how the sources of Minnesota’s tax revenues have changed over the years, Commissioner Myron Frans used three-legged stools with legs representing the three major sources — property taxes, sales taxes and income taxes. They once were fairly even at 33 percent to 34 percent each. Now, the property tax leg is so long at 40 percent the stool tips over.

How should you be taxed?

ohn Rubischko told a group of local students last week of the rude awakening he faced on Dec. 21, 2007. “That was the infamous day that I’ll never forget, when my door got kicked in,” the 1989 Hutchinson High School graduate said. “Twenty FBI and ATF agents raided my house. I walked out of the bedroom, just in my underwear, to flashlights and guns pointed at me.” With more than a trace of wry irony, Rubischko added, “That’s when I realized something was wrong.” The law had finally caught up to Rubischko, a former mortgage broker living in Eagan, who lost his ethical bearings in his search for success. While speaking on Nov. 6 to a group of high school students attending the second annual Hutchinson Rotary Club ethics workshop, Rubischko shared what success used to mean to him. “I had a nice, big house and was married with two kids,” he said. “As soon as I started having success, I wanted more and more … I crossed the line eventually. I was too afraid to let go of my perception of what I thought I wanted.” In exchange for a milliondollar cabin, fancy cars and boats, Rubischko didn’t realize what he was trading away: His future.
A PROMISING KID “I was almost too good in high school,” Rubischko recalled. “I didn’t smoke or drink.” The youngest of four children, Rubischko was a high-school athlete who never lacked for a teenager’s

Hutchinson native John Rubischko told a group of Hutchinson High School and New Century Academy students at Crow River Golf Club last week that the concepts in ethics they were learning were “so right on point.”
“I saw things happening that were wrong, so I turned a blind eye … and eventually that corroded me.” John Rubischko Hutchinson native must-haves — like new shoes. His mom would always buy him the ones he wanted. If he needed a bit of cash, he could take it from his mom’s purse with no questions asked. “In a lot of ways, I was spoiled,” he said. Rubischko had a spotless legal record, without so much as a speeding ticket, right up until the day he was arrested on federal
charges of wire fraud and identity theft. “I guess when I go out,” he quipped, “I go big.” Rubischko believes if he’d had a professional mentor or a peer to bounce questions off, he could’ve stayed on the right path. But the temptation to go astray during a booming housing market was
Economic recessions can expose weaknesses in household finances with tragic consequences. But economic turmoil also can put the spotlight on fractures in a state’s financial model. Such has been the case in Minnesota, and most other states, the past five years. Legislative leaders struggle to balance the cost of state-provided services with changing, and often declining, tax revenues. Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue Myron Frans visited Hutchinson Event Center Thursday evening to explain the state’s tax system during a town hall meeting. He also was seeking public comments on
Gov. Mark Dayton’s tax reform initiative. Less than 10 local and area officials and business people attended. Hutchinson is the 48th Minnesota city to host such a session. The recession, and its impact on the sales tax, a political deadlock over income tax increases, and state cuts in aid to local governments, have caused Minnesota counties and cities to rely more on property taxes for their revenues. The state has battled deficits in eight of the past 11 years. But t here is more to t he state’s problem than recessioninduced revenue contraction.

Explorer re-enactor Bob Sharpe, left, told Kurtis Monge how explorers lived 200 years ago while discovering the area that became the state of Minnesota in 1858. Sharpe and Dick Mattson visited New Discoveries Montessori Academy on Friday as part of the students’ study of Minnesota history.
Bringing history to life is a good way to help students absorb lessons they might otherwise find old and uninteresting. With that in mind, history came to life Friday for New Discoveries Montessori Academy students when re-enactors of early Minnesota explorers set up camp behind the school along Fifth Avenue Southeast.

A haircut with a purpose
O
n Give to the Max Day tomorrow, people will be donating money to their favorite charities. Last week, Ellie Streich, 8, donated 9 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. “When I think about all the kids that don’t have hair because of cancer or sicknesses it makes me sad,” Streich said. “Since I’m only 8, I think this is one way I can help them, and it makes me really happy to be able to help them.” The haircut took place on Thursday at Genesis Salon and Enso Spa in Hutchinson with hair stylist Tricia Achman performing the deed. Locks of Love is a public nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada suffering from long-term medical hair loss. For more information, visit the agency’s website at www.locksoflove.org. — Kay Johnson
It’s been said, “the first cut is the deepest,” but in this case, the first cut removed a 9-inch section of Ellie’s hair. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

School at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 16. As a high school junior, Patrick expected a bright future. He was a member of the National Honor Society and a free safety on his football team. His world came crashing down in his first varsity game. When he went in to make a tackle, his face mask caught on the ball carrier’s kneepad, breaking his neck and leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Patrick talks about how he learned to live despite his physical limitations. He is not living the “American Dream” as he once envisioned it: He’s now found a new version of that dream to live. Describing the importance of his presentation, Patrick said, “I want (students) to start thinking and to learn if you think things through, you can find a solution to just about any problem. The problem isn’t the issue, the issue is how you address the problem.” The public is invited to attend the 90-minute presenMinneapolis-based health tation at the high school gymeducator and motivational nasium. More information speaker Mike Patrick will can be found online at www. speak at Hutchinson High patcom.com. Ford Focus collided with a semi-truck near New Ulm. Accordi ng to t he State Patrol, the crash occurred shortly before 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 15 and U.S. Highway 14, east of New Ulm. Wanda Hanson, 37, of Silver Lake was northbound on Highway 15 when her car collided with a 2010 Mack truck, pulling a trailer, southbound on Highway 14. Hanson was taken to New Ulm Medical Center for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening. The truck driver — Craig Gochnauer, 42, of Dodge Center — had no apparent injuries. The truck had minor damage and the Focus was totaled. Responding agencies included New Ulm Police, the Nicollet County Sheriff’s Office, Courtland Fire and Allina Ambulance.

Bob Sharpe and Dick Mattson, members of the Frontier Christian Fellowship at Riverside Assembly of God Church in Hutchinson, were dressed for the role of Minnesota explorers in the first half of the 19th century. Their camp was complete with teepees they slept in overnight, a fire pit, furs and tools of the fur trade. “The idea was to have some of a rendezvous feel,” said Joan Sax, the school’s data and instruction coach. “Students have been learning about that period in their history classes. It gives them a little bit of a taste (of the times.)” Bob Sharpe told of Martin McLeod’s adventures in the area prior to Minnesota becoming a state in 1858. Students also got a taste of pemmican and hard tack.
The typical kitchen of an early Minnesota explorer on the move is quite different than what New Discoveries students Elijah Hausladen, Joe Monge and Valhalla Cloutier are familiar with today.

FRANS Continued from page A1
Online sales hurt Minnesota retailers Internet, are playing a major role in the level of taxes collected by the state, Frans said. As more customerto-business and business-to-business commerce switches to the Internet, sales tax revenues as a share of tax revenues drop. Between 2000 and 2011, sales losses to Minnesota Main Street retailers to e-commerce grew an estimated 800 percent to $149 million a year. Frans pointed to the growing bipartisan realization that e-commerce is reducing sales tax revenues and hurting Minnesota bricks-and-mortar retailers. “This is a national issue,” Frans said. “There are a lot of people in Congress that would like to change that.”
SERVICES TRUMP GOODS Consumer spending patterns have changed. Less consumer spending is subject to state taxes, not only because of increasing purchases from online sellers, but also because of our evolution to a service-based economy. In 1950, 61 percent of consumer spending was on goods and 39 percent on services. By 2010, those figures had essentially flipped — 33 percent on consumer goods and 67 percent on services. Minnesota’s sales tax is the highest in the Upper Midwest, but it doesn’t tax as many items and services as neighboring states. “We could change what we define as goods to cover more with sales
taxes,” he said. He pointed to differences in candy bars as an example. One with more flour in it, such as a Twix bar, is not taxed because it is considered a food. Frans said Dayton’s tax reform efforts are based on a growing consensus that the state’s tax code is out of date, out of balance, unfair, and too complex. “We think it is way too complex and it has put us in the business of picking winners and losers,” he said. However, he cautioned that comparisons of Minnesota’s tax rate to other states should take into account the effective tax rate versus the statutory tax rate. While Minnesota has a high statutory rate, exemptions lower the effective rate. A study by the accounting firm Ernst and Young said Minnesota is among the 10 states with the lowest effective tax rate on new investment, but at the same time, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council calls Minnesota one of the 10 worst tax systems due to high statutory rates. Frans said the recommendation may be that the state lower its statutory rate while tightening exemptions since businesses tend to look only at the statutory rate when picking where to set up shop. While the state has recovered about 60 percent of the jobs lost in the recession, a big focus continues on job creation as a way to grow the economy

Minnesota Department of Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans was in Hutchinson last week seeking ideas from citizens on how the state’s tax code could be reformed. He said property taxes are carrying a higher burden of tax revenues as sales taxes decrease because of e-commerce. and tax collections. Minnesota tax revenue as a percent of personal income has been below the national average in seven of the past eight years. At the same time,
per-capita income as been above the national average, though it has slipped a bit because many of the jobs being created today are not goodpaying jobs, Frans said.

Colorado, but transportation options were few. To fill the gap, entrepreneurs laid rails, often in narrow gauge, up canyons and over mountain passes. Today, some of the most scenic of these routes survive as steam-powered tourist operations. Hutchinson resident Terry Davis will share those jewels of America’s past with a digital slide show. In August 2011, Davis traveled to southern Colorado to ride and photograph three of the most famous of the state’s steam-powdered tourist lines — the Durango and Silverton and the Cumbres and Totec, both nar-
Plato-area farmer Randall Thalmann questioned the state using homestead credits as a tax feature. He said people with homesteaded property are users of the same services paid out of property taxes as everyone else. Homestead credits likely grew as a mechanism to provide tax relief, Frans said. Thalmann also asked that the state consider some method to change how school bond referendums are handled. Such issues are often defeated, he said, because they hit lowerincome people and farmers with a lot of land the hardest. He said it has become almost impossible for school districts to keep up on building needs. Frans agreed that business is starting to become concerned, too, about education, worried that future workers won’t be prepared for the work force. What is needed, Rep. Ron Shimanski said, is to allow districts to establish capital reserve accounts to save for future building projects, something not allowed now. He also said lower units of government should not pay sales tax on their purchases, something he has pushed in past legislative sessions. “I think it is illogical for one unit of government to tax another unit of government,” he said. Frans said that sounded like a good idea that he would take back to the Dayton administration.

RUBISCHKO Continued from page A1
Speaker found peace within while in prison heavy. “I saw things happening that were wrong, so I turned a blind eye … and eventually that corroded me,” he said. He saw fellow mortgage brokers cut corners and fudge numbers to secure bad loans — all for the sake of higher commissions. Rubischko eventually followed suit. “I was manipulating the rules to help people get what they wanted,” he said, “so I could get what I wanted.” That included false verification of deposits and other feats of fiscal sleight-of-hand. “So many people that I put into loans shouldn’t have gotten those loans,” he said. “I had one guy tell me I was a miracle man.” In 2006, Rubischko said, he started taking out loans for himself. He used his mother’s credit record to buy property with the intent of selling it at a profit later. “I thought I had things under control,” he said.
“I got away with it once and I felt like, ‘Hey, I can get away with it.’ I saw so many people doing worse things than I was.” As the housing market began to crash, so did Rubischko’s prospects. When his family confronted him, he initially dodged responsibility: “I said, ‘Forget it, you guys don’t know what you’re talking about.’” His mother eventually reported his actions to the authorities, which Rubischko described as a difficult act of “tough love.” He’s grateful that she took that step. “She helped me get the help that I needed by having to do that,” he said.
Things would get worse for Rubischko before they could get better. He lost his mortgage business and his reputation was shot. The ripple effect of the bad loans he helped secure ruined other families’ fortunes as well.
He was sentenced in 2009 to 87 months of prison time. His story was featured in newspapers and he said, “I was on ‘Nightline.’ It was not a fun experience.” “One thing that you learn when you go to prison is, you think you’ve got a lot of friends,” he said. “But you’ve really only got a few close friends who’ll stick with you through something like this.” A federal prison can be a brutal place and Rubischko is grateful that he emerged from his sentence unscathed. He actually emerged with a healthier self-esteem and wiser outlook than before. He came to appreciate the simple things many take for granted. Once fueled by materialism, Rubischko discovered he could be happy with only the possessions he could fit in a 3-by-3 foot metal locker. “I seriously was at peace living with less,” he said, “because I was finally at peace with myself.” “When I was in prison,” he added,

A goodwill donation will be asked from shoppers who have their gifts wrapped with all pro-
ceeds going directly to the nonprofit organization. The Hutchinson Mall is also seeking musical performers and choir groups to perform in the mall this holiday season. Suggested performances include: choirs, bell ringers, carolers, pianists, instrumentals, day care classes, school students and more. To participate in the community
HARD LESSONS IN GRATITUDE
“I seriously was at peace living with less, because I was finally at peace with myself.” John Rubischko Hutchinson native “I would think, ‘There’s a hundred people right now in hospitals dying of cancer who would be happy to be in my shoes.’” Rubischko’s sentence was eventually reduced to 40 months. He was released to a halfway house in Minneapolis this past January, and released from there in July. His speech before the students at the ethics workshop marked the first time he’d been back to Hutchinson in 15 years. “Thanks to Google, this is going to follow me for the rest of my life,” he said. “Even with my education and everything, it’s so hard to find a
job … Right now I’m in phone sales making 100 calls a day to stores buying candy.” But Rubischko said he’s happier than ever. His now ex-wife has custody of their two children, and he stays connected with them. His siblings are starting to come around again, and his mother, he said, has been “amazing.” Speaking after his presentation, Rubischko said last week marked only the second time he’s spoken publicly about what was a very difficult episode in his life. Public speaking doesn’t come easily, but he’s eager to give something back to society. Sharing his story helps keep him grounded, he said. Rubischko hopes to make a difference, even if it’s just one young person who’s motivated to stay on the straight-and-narrow. He wants to spare others the pain that accompanied his hard-won lesson: “The easier road is not the best road.”

Make it count
Support local nonprofits during Give to the Max Day, Nov. 15
BY KAY JOHNSON johnson@hutchinsonleader.com
I
n the words of Chef Emeril Lagasse, approximately 80 Hutchinson-area nonprofit agencies will be “kicking it up a notch” tomorrow when it comes to fundraising. The secret ingredient — Give to the Max Day, Nov. 15. For 24 hours, donors are encouraged to log onto GiveMN. org and make a donation to their favorite charities. Last year, 47,534 donors logged on to GiveMN.org. The result: $13.4 million was raised for 3,978 Minnesota nonprofit organizations. “Thousands of nonprofit organizations have benefited in the past three years,” explained Dana Nelson, executive director of GiveMN. “This year, we have added public schools to the list of organizations that individual donors can choose to support.” Crow River Habitat for Humanity has participated in Give it to the Max Day since it started in 2009. “Each year we have doubled the amount of people donating and the amount donated,” said Julie Lofdahl, office administrator for the local Habitat affiliate. “Last year we raised almost $900. This year it is our goal is to double the donation amount again.” Aveyron Homes is looking for a fundraising bump tomorrow, too. The local service provider for people with mental and physical disabilities, has been hard hit by state cutbacks. “We need help,” said Kathy Kalenberg, executive director of Aveyron Homes. “Regulations’ nonfunded mandates are brutal because you have to do more with less.” To develop a fundraising campaign, Aveyron hired a professional earlier this year. With his help, they developed the Aveyron Advocate program. The fundraising effort received a welcome donation when the Bretzke family gave a portion of their mother’s memorial money to Aveyron. Marylin Bretzke served on the original board that started the nonprofit. “The timing couldn’t have been

Remember Gopher Campfire Conservation Club’s Wildlife Sanctuary on Give to the Max Day. better,” Kalenberg said. “It helped us gain some energy related to the fundraising. Marylin helped to start Aveyron to bring people with handicaps closer to their families in Hutchinson. The generosity of the family will live on.” Kalenberg described Bretzke as “fabulous.” “She never lost the pulse of Aveyron,” she said. “She would stop by, send gifts, direct other people to the board. She was active in so many ways. She had so many different connections. She never forgot about Aveyron.” Aveyron has used Bretzke’s donation to establish a stand-alone fund, the Bretzke Memorial Fund, to help clients maintain contact with their families. Donors to Aveyron on Give to the Max Day, will become Averyon Advocates. “They can tell us what we should use the money for,” Kalenberg said, “It’s all for the clients. We’re not using it for mortgages or overhead. It’s for quality of life activities for clients.” In case you’re thinking Give to the Max Day is all about large donations, you would be wrong. “There are lots of different ways we can spend $20 or $25 here and
there,” Kalenberg said, “and really make a difference for somebody.” For example, she explained, if a client needed some financial help to purchase a phone card, funds can be requested to help with that. If a client wants to drive up to two hours away to see a family member, funds can be used to pay for gas and Aveyron would cover the cost of the staff to accompany the client. Another example might be purchasing stationery and stamps to send greeting cards throughout the year for holidays, birthdays and other special events.
WHAT IS GIVEMN? It’s a collaborate venture to transform philanthropy in Minnesota by growing overall giving and moving more of it online. It is supported by many partners including the Minnesota Community Foundation, Blandin Foundation, The Otto Bremer Foundation and the Southwest Initiative Foundation. The benefits for nonprofits include getting in front of more supporters. The website’s search function helps nonprofits and schools of all sizes reach thousands of new potential donors. It helps reduce fundraising costs. Raising
Historic Hutchinson uses the money it raises for local preservation initiatives. One of its new undertakings is the Episcopal Church in downtown Hutchinson. $1 online costs 7 cents, as opposed to 20 cents for grant writing or up to $1.25 to acquire new donors through direct mail. It also increases giving. Fun and compelling campaigns engage new givers and inspire current givers to donate even more.
NEW IN 2012 This year, K-12 public schools have joined the ranks of organizations than can benefit from the 24-hour giving fest. GiveMN to page A7 ®

Charitable giving made easier Thursday is Give to the Max Day, an opportunity for Minnesotans to make smart charitable donations. Want to help feed the hungry, protect the environment or promote the arts? Visit GiveMN.org. BY PUBLISHER BRENT SCHACHERER AND EDITOR DOUG HANNEMAN
It’s been three years since the first Give to the Max Day created a new way for Minnesotans to support nonprofits. Since then, more than $50 million has been donated to more than 6,700 groups, including many in McLeod County. We like the annual Give to the Max Day — which is tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 15 — because it’s one of the smartest ways to give. It keeps fundraising costs down while giving donors two things they appreciate: information about how their money will be used, and convenience. Give to the Max Day uses a website — GiveMN.org — which donors visit to support their favorite nonprofits. An affiliate of Minnesota Philanthropy Partners, GiveMN. org supports our state’s strong tradition of philanthropy. It enables nonprofits to raise as much money as possible in 24 hours. The effort has been so successful that it now leads the national platform, Facebook Causes, which has raised just more than $40 million since its founding in 2007. We searched GiveMN.org and discovered more than 30 Hutchinson-area nonprofits registered to receive donations tomorrow. We don’t have room to list all of them but they range from the Hutchinson Center for the Arts to Equul Access Inc. to the United Way of McLeod County. Some churches are also listed, and for the first time, K-12 public schools are registered. With Give to the Max Day, everyone wins. Donors benefit because: They can learn about local programs that support causes they believe in. They can make online donations quickly, easily and securely by credit card to any U. S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
“Smart charitable giving requires careful planning. Give to the Max Day empowers you to do that.” They can be more organized in their charitable giving because Give. MN.org tracks their online contributions and stores receipts for them. Nonprofits benefit because: They have one more way for donors to support them. They receive leverage tools and campaigns, such as matching donations. They can reduce their fundraising costs. Raising $1 online costs 7 cents, as opposed to 20 cents for grant writing or up to $1.25 to acquire new donors through direct mail. The website has powerful, reputable supporters including the Blandin Foundation, the Otto Bremer Foundation, Bush Foundation, Central Minnesota Community Foundation, Ecolab Foundation, F.R. Bigelow Foundation, Greater Twin Cities United Way, HealthPartners, Initiative Foundation, the Minneapolis Foundation, the Mosaic Company, Northland Foundation, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, the Saint Paul Foundation, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, Southwest Initiative Foundation, Target, UCare and West Central Initiative Foundation. To learn more, visit GiveMN.org. Give to the Max Day starts at midnight and continues for 24 hours. Or you can visit the website now, gather information about your favorite nonprofits, and consider it overnight before making your donation. Smart charitable giving requires careful planning. Give to the Max Day empowers you to do that.

DFL in control at State Capitol What caused voters to shift power back to the Democrats? FROM THE NEW ULM JOURNAL
The national election may have preserved the status quo, with Obama still in the White House, and the House and Senate split between the Republicans and Democrats, but here in Minnesota the political tide shifted dramatically. Republicans lost control of the House and Senate in the Legislature, and with DFLer Mark Dayton in the governor’s office, Minnesota taxpayers’ wallets now lie defenseless. Dayton was elected two years ago by promising he would balance the budget by raising taxes. Only the new Republican majority in the House and Senate stood in his way. What caused the voters to shift power back to the Democrats? First, they were unable to reach any kind of agreement or compromise with the governor on the state budget, leading to the longest government shutdown in the state’s history. Their ultimate compromise included a change in the Homestead
property tax system that shifted a major portion of the property tax burden onto businesses and industries. Republicans also lost their promised “laser focus on jobs, jobs, jobs.” Instead they focused on imposing their ideology on the state with a pair of ultimately unsuccessful constitutional amendments that galvanized and energized the liberal voters to oppose the amendments and the legislators who passed them. So now the DFL is solidly in control of the government for the next two years. We warn the new majority not to take this election as a blank check for limitless state spending. We expect there will be some adjustments in the state’s tax system. The “no tax increase” pledge that Republicans have held to served to push more costs onto local government, pushing up the level of property taxes, and it has punished our public schools. We believe the state’s tax system is long overdue for an overhaul to make it fairer. But the GOP must remind the DFL that the state cannot afford a big spending spree. Hold the line on spending, or they could be facing another shift in power in two years.

Photo brought back fond memories FROM JUDITH SLADEK Litchfield
I don’t know who picked the “Image from the Past” for the Leader but that picture of the “66” station in the Nov. 4 Leader brought back a flood of memories for me. My Uncle Paul managed that station for Barney during the last years of its existence. It’s a shame that quaint building is gone along with its many neighbors — the Stone Bathhouse, Hansen’s Hatchery, Martin Weseloh’s Blacksmith Shop, Abbott’s Electronics and KFC, to name a few. Hutch lost a lot of its history in the name of progress. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I might add that picture brought back a thousand memories to me. Times really weren’t easier but they were less harsh, I’d say. Days of 25-cents-agallon gas wars, days when a “crow”
was entertainment for my uncle and the neighborhood children and not an issue for PETA. Days of earlymorning fish bait customers. Days when it was normal for someone to fill your gas tank, wash your windows, check your oil and tires.
Now only Schmeling Oil has such a service. Service is a thing of the past — like that grand little “66” station and my Uncle Paul, the most kindhearted person there was. Thanks for the memories.
Great public schools are everyone’s responsibility FROM CLIFF CARMODY Executive director, SW/WC Service Cooperative
American Education Week gives us an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding work being done by our public schools. In addition, it is a time for us to spotlight the importance of providing every child in America a quality public education. From kindergarten through college, education staff work to make our public schools the best they can be and we use American Education Week to say thank you to all of you. The American Education Week tagline, “Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility,“ represents the National Education
Association’s vision of calling upon America to provide students with quality public schools so that they can grow, prosper and achieve in the 21st century. This week presents all of us with an opportunity to honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. American Education Week’s celebration days include: Monday, Nov. 12: Veterans Day. Tuesday, Nov. 13: Parents’ Day. Schools invite parents into the classroom for a hands-on experience of what the day is like for their child. Wednesday, Nov. 14: Education Support Professionals Day. Individuals who provide invaluable services to schools are recognized for their
outstanding work. Thursday, Nov. 15: Educator for a Day. Community leaders are invited to serve as educators to get a glimpse at a day in the life of a school employee. Friday, Nov. 16: Substitute Educators Day. This day honors the educators who are called upon to replace regularly employed teachers. The SW/WC Service Cooperative has 55 public school district members, including Hutchinson Independent School District 423. We are honored to provide a variety of programs and services to them. We encourage our communities to take time to thank our school boards, our administrators, our teachers, and everyone who works to make Minnesota an education leader in the nation!

Senate GOP picks Hann to lead minority ST. PAUL (AP) — Forced into the minority, Senate Republicans have picked fourth-termer David Hann to lead the caucus in the upcoming Minnesota legislative session. Hann was chosen during a party meeting on Friday. It wasn’t immediately clear how many challengers the Eden Prairie senator had for the post.
In this week’s election, Republicans lost the majority they had for only two years. Hann said Republicans will work with Democrats where possible but serve as a check when needed in a Legislature now universally controlled by Democrats. Hann brief ly ran for governor in 2010 and didn’t rule out another
statewide campaign in two years. House Republicans, who are also back in the minority, pick a leader on Saturday. T he nex t st at e Senate campaign is in 2016.

Tigersharks win Section 3A title Hutchinson easily won the section championship and is sending girls to the state meet in 10 different events BY STEPHEN WIBLEMO sports@hutchinsonleader.com
J
ust one more meet left in the Hutchinson High School girls swimming and diving season, and this year the Tigersharks have 15 entries for the 2012 Class A state meet. Before that, though, Hutch hosted the Section 3A championship finals on Saturday when it was do or die time. Fortunately the ’Sharks accomplished most of what they set out to do. “We’ve got almost all the entries in that I thought we could get in,” Hutch head coach Rory Fairbanks said. The Tigersharks were hoping to get at least one entry in all 12 events, but fell short missing the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle. Fairbanks knew the 500 would be tough, and Caitlin Papke missed the state cut in the 200 by less than onetenth of a second. In the other 10 events, though, the ’Sharks racked up a handful of state qualifiers and easily won the section title with all but seven of its partici-
pants scoring in the top 16. The 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke were especially strong events with three Hutch swimmers qualifying for state in each, and all three relays made the cut. Hutch also crowned section champions in three events — the 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay and 50 freestyle. Haley Cassens led the way for Hutch as she had her hands in all three of those events and finished second in the 100 butterfly to qualify in all four of her events. Hutch had two other swimmers qualify in all four of their events. They were Erin Hawker in the individual medley, breastroke and two relays, and Casie Carlson in the 100 freestyle and backstroke “I’m pumped,” Carlson said. “I made it as an alternate last year, and two years ago I made it individually in two events.” Other individual qualifiers included Abby Reiner and Caitlin Papke in the 100 freestyle, Jenna Nagy and Megan Bateman in the backstroke, and divers Jenna Nagy and Rachel Haugen. It will be Haugen’s first state meet, and she solidified her entry with a two-and-one-half on her final dive Saturday. Swim/Dive to page A12 ®

Tigers rock KoMets A two-point conversion made the difference in Hutch’s 23-21 win BY STEPHEN WIBLEMO sports@hutchinsonleader.com
Hutchinson was able to build a 15-point lead in the first half of its state quarterfinal game, but then had to hold on tight for a 23-21 win over Kasson-Mantorville Friday in Chanhassen. The big difference maker in the score ended up being a couple twopoint conversions the Tigers were able to get in the first half, and the
one they stopped the KoMets from getting after their final touchdown in the fourth quarter. Before this game the Tigers’ smallest margin of victory was 20 points against Mound-Westonka, so Friday was easily Hutch’s toughest test this year. “That is par for the course when you are playing in the quarterfinals of the state tournament,” Rostberg said. “Teams are good and you will be faced with adversity. We got some first downs and stops at the end of the game when we needed them, and responded well enough to win the game.” The first half was mostly dominated by the Tigers as they successfully
grinded the ball for 230 yards on the ground and chewed up a majority of the clock (15:31 to 8:29 was the time of possesion). Evan Metag led Hutch’s assault the first two quarters with 16 carries for 102 yards. He wasn’t alone, though, as McKinley Anderson finished the game with 143 yards for another season best. “We just pounded it, and pounded it and pounded it,” Metag said. “Anything we could do to keep it moving forward.” Hutch’s first touchdown was a nine-play, 80-yard drive that started with a 31-yard rumble by Anderson
Becker was certainly not the team most Hutchinson fans were expecting to see Thursday at the Metrodome. DeL aSa l le was t he No. 1-ranked team in state all year, and was expected to cruise through the quarterfinals to meet up with the Tigers in the semifinals. That’s what was expected. What actually happened is the Bulldogs capitalized on their passing game and took advantage of two Islanders interceptions for a 21-14 upset. So instead of facing the topranked team in state to get to the finals, Hutch will have to get through a Bulldogs team that was ranked No. 6 in the last poll. “They beat the No. 1-ranked team in the state, so I’d say they are now the No. 1 team,” Hutch head coach Andy Rostberg said. “They’re capable of running the ball, they’ve got a great passing attack, and their defense hasn’t given up many points this year. They are balanced.” It’s true that like most succesful high school teams the Bulldogs are capable of running the ball, but that is not their greatest strength. Becker has 1,415 yards on the ground and is averaging 3.8 yards per carry. Its lead rushers are Austen Soare (177-782) and Eric Dudek (106-506).
Those numbers are small potatoes to a Hutchinson team that has 3,412 rushing yards and is averaging 6.5 yards per carry. What Becker lacks in rushing yards, though, its quarterback Tommy Benson makes up for throwing the ball. Benson is the prototypical pocket quarterback. He has completed 61 percent of his passes this year (135 of 218) and has 2,043 total yards through the air. He has thrown 28 of the team’s 37 total touchdowns, and has only been picked off six times. Benson’s weakness is that he isn’t much of a scrambler with just three yards total yards after 38 carries. Becker’s only loss this season was to Glencoe-Silver Lake on one of the worst nights for wind and weather all season (the same night Hutchinson played in Delano). It was also one of Benson’s worst nights passing as he completed only nine of 16 for 85 yards, well below his season averages (12.3-19.9-185.7). Of course Benson won’t have to worry about weather conditions Thursday in the Metrodome, so it will be up to the Tigers to provide some pressure on the quarterback. “It’s better than outside on a sloppy field or where the wind is blowing,” Rostberg said. “There won’t be any wind in the dome.

TIGERS GIRLS HOCKEY
Hutch hosts Cougars in season home opener Friday night BY STEPHEN WIBLEMO sports@hutchinsonleader.com
Friday night is the start of another girls hockey season as Hutchinson hosts Mankato East/Loyola in the season home opener at Burich Arena. After graduating six seniors last year, including a Division I recruit, Friday will also mark the start of a new beginning for the Tigers. While the Tigers have a handful of returning players back from last year, for most it will be their first full season of varsity action.
“About 60 percent of the lineup is going to be new players this year,” Hutch head coach Mitch Fabel said. At the top of Hutch’s list of returning players is its only senior, forward Ella Turrell. “She has been an experienced player the last couple of years and was a WCC honorable mention two years ago,” Fabel said. “We get some leadership from her, along with juniors Allison Neubarth and Taylor Niece.” After those three, though, Fabel said there will be a lot of turnover on offense this year, and many girls
on the ice that haven’t played much in the past. A few of the girls that will see time on offense this year include freshmen Ava and Alexa Broten, Emma Johnson, sophomore Baylee Holtz and eighth grader Addie Rolling. With all new players will also come all new lines, and according to Fabel those will be a work in progress. “We don’t know what our lines will be yet, but we’re close,” he said. “We are playing with some different lineups, but the combinations could change for the first few weeks to see
who skates well together. With so many new kids skating together it could take some time.” Defense will be the same story for the Tigers with sophomore Jordan Guggisberg as Hutch’s most experienced returning player. “She has been a starter for the last couple of years. She is young but has experience,” Fabel said. “It’s pretty much going to be a whole new defensive core with three or four new girls playing defense.” Some of those new girls stepping up on defense will include eighth
grader Ellie Larson, and freshmen Jillian Driver, Sam Hantge and Taylor Telecky. “Those four players will step up quite a bit,” Fabel said. “Sam Hantge had a little varsity experience last year, but otherwise the rest will be brand new on varsity.” Goalie should be taken care of for Hutch as freshman Quin McCormick is back. She took over as the starter late in the season last year, but played in all the section and state tournaHockey to page A12 ®

KoMets gained traction in the second half and ended with a one-yard touchdown dive by Metag. The Tigers scored again on their second possession, this time after taking over from KM’s 31-yard line. Anderson ran it in from two yards out. After its first two touchdowns, though, the Tigers surprised many by having Anderson run in a pair of twopoint conversions to make it a 16-0 game. “O n t he f i r st one t hey roughed the kicker, so we were half the distance from the goal and figured we could get it,” Rostberg said. “The second one, we had seen on film how they didn’t leave anyone back and really rushed hard on extra points. We thought we could get that one, and didn’t think they would be ready for it (fake field
goal). They ended up being two big plays.” They were fairly surprising plays, too, since Hutch has only attempted a two-point conversion one other time this year, and is now 3-for-3. Although Hutch held the KoMets to 154 yards of total offense in the first half, they were able to score once on a two-minute touchdown drive that showcased KM quarterback Riley Donovan. After he completed two passes for the first 49 yards of the drive, Donovan kept the ball on the fifth play for a 31-yard touchdown sprint. Hutch punted its third possession of the game, but after forcing a KM turnover on downs to take over from their own 21-yard line, the Tigers
ground away the rest of the half on a 10-play touchdown drive with Anderson diving in from a yard out. Hutch took its healthy lead into the second half looking to make it larger, but instead had to hang on for dear life. The Tigers continued to dominate the time of possession (16:40 to 7:20), but they didn’t reach the end zone again and only had 151 total yards. “They have a good defense and adapted to our running game,” Metag said. “We had to overcome that to win.” The biggest change the KoMets made was to move its big offensive lineman Sam Stoll (275 pounds) and Zachary Peterson (320 pounds) over to the defensive line. Most of the third quarter
SWIM/DIVE Continued from page A11
was a battle for field position, and Hutch turned the ball over twice on downs after coming up short near KM’s 30-yard line. An interception by Jordan Yira held the KoMets off for a bit. “I feel like we made some big plays when we needed them,” Yira said. “We were a little slow on offense but were getting stops.” KM was able to eventually get some traction, and scored on a 71-yard march the Tigers failed to stop. Hutch tried to answer back, but a tipped pass during the next drive fell into the open arms of KM’s Donovan for an interception at Hutch’s 36-yard line. Four plays later and the KoMets scored their third touchdown, but failed on the pass conversion attempt.
That is the way the game would stay as Hutch battled penalties but managed to run out the clock. A tricky double pass from Josiah Rolf to Robbie Grimsley helped Hutchinson convert on third-and-long to keep the clock moving. “We haven’t practiced it a lot, maybe two or three times,” Rolf said. “I was jacked and excited. I’ve been waiting for it all year.” In the end it wasn’t the prettiest way to end the game, but it was good enough for the win. “We made enough big plays defensively in the second half while our offense was stagnant on us,” Rostberg said.

Two more entries over 2011 Three WCC teams still stand
CLASS A STATE STAGE IS SET With 15 entries for the state meet this year, that is two more than what Hutch had last season when it finished third as a team. Just because there are more entries doesn’t mean Hutch will be stronger, but they are hoping their depth helps make up for other shortcomings. “Last year we had a lot of top swimmers, but now we have a lot more swimmers,” Cassens said. “I think since we have more swimmers we can do well.” “I’m pleased. Having 15 entries means we are a threat at state,” Hawker said. A threat, yes. Favorites, no. Out of the ’Sharks’ 15 entries only eight are seeded to score, and five are seeded in the top-8. “Realistically, what we’ve talked about is that we would like to finish in the top-3,” Fairbanks said. “Right now we are not in that position with where we are seeded. So our goal is to get one-half second faster in every 50 yards we swim. If we do that, we might be able to push ourselves into that position. I think a half second in that pool is very realistic.” According to Fairbanks the likely favorites are Northfield, followed by Visitation, Manka-

That is going to be something that will be an advantage for everyone throwing.” With so many passes likely to be thrown Thursday, the Tigers would love to continue their turnover trend. After going through the first six weeks with only one interception, Hutch has picked things up lately with seven interceptions in the last five games. Benson won’t be easy to turnover as he has a 4.6 TD/ Int. ratio, but one or two interceptions Thursday could be the difference in the Tigers’ first state semifinal game since 2005 when they lost 30-27 to the Holy Angels.
WCC AND GRANITE RIDGE FACEOFF IN 4A SEMIFINALS The Wright County Conference is often spoken of foundly as one of the top football conferences in the state, and its easy to see why. Four WCC teams made it into the state playoffs, and three are still standing — Hutchinson and Holy Family Catholic in Class 4A, and Annandale beat New LondonSpicer 20-17 Saturday in the Class 3A quarterfinals. But the WCC isn’t the only conference with bragging rights this year. Becker and Princeton, the other two teams left in the 4A state playoffs,

hail from the Granite Ridge Con ference, which was a scheduling partner with the WCC this year. Because both conferences had an odd number of teams they used each other to schedule games for the teams that did not have conference matches each week. Hutchinson fans will recall the season opener in Little Falls, and Glencoe-Silver Lake hosted Becker on homecoming night. The WCC was the overwhelming winner in those cross-conference games with a 7-1 record. Here were the
results: Hutchinson 49, Little Falls 0 Princeton 21, Mound-Westonka 7 Dassel-Cokato 40, Foley 18 Litchfield 35, St. Cloud Cathedral 34 Annandale 40, Milaca 26 Glencoe-Silver Lake 21, Becker 9 Orono 40, Zimmerman 0 New London-Spicer 20, Albany 7
The two conferences also clashed during the section playoffs as Annandale downed Mora (47-29) and Foley (21-0), and Becker beat Delano (21-13) in the finals. How ironic that these two conferences will clash again in both 4A state semifinals, and perhaps even in the final game of the season.

Lineup gains depth in off-season ment games. “She has looked solid so far in our scrimmages,” Fabel said. “She gained a ton of experience last year after playing a third of the season, and she is looking promising in the net.” The Tigers could take a few bumps and bruises along the way this season as they get
used to playing without last year’s stars, who accounted for 202 of the team’s 255 points. Fabel is optimistic, though, that this year’s lineup will also come with its advantages. “A little different this year is that we will be able to run three lines and 5-6 defense, versus two lines and 3-4 de-
fense last year,” Fabel said. “We are going to have more depth this year in talent, and there is more parity amongst the girls. “Our weakness right now is finding out who is going to put some pucks in the net.”

“That was the first time I’ve ever done one in a meet. I was shaking on the board,” she said. “I feel like I’m on top of the world I’m so happy right now.” These Hutchinson swimmers and divers, along with Danielle Ross who was a member of the 200 freestyle relay, will compete in the state meet this week at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

MINISTRY Continued from page B1
Imuka Singers making first appearance at annual concert Dec. 2, at Peace Lutheran Church, both in Hutchinson. Under the direction of Jim Nelson, Sunday’s concert will end with three mass choir numbers: “Praise His Holy Name,” by Keith Hampton; “All Good Gifts,” by Schwoebel; and “Hope for Resolution.”
A SPECIAL GUEST Also new this year is a performance by the Imuka Singers who will begin Sunday at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Hutchinson. The 30-member choir represents more than 10 community groups
from the northwestern shores of Lake Victoria. The group, which has been touring in the United States since September, will participate in the 8:15 and 10:45 a.m. worship services and will help kick off the church’s 50th year of ministry. Wearing traditional costumes, the Imuka Singers’ performance will feature African songs, dances and hand drumming. The mission of Imuka’s choir goes beyond bringing East African music to the world.

ABOUT COMMON CUP MINISTRY “Coming Together in Song VI” is the largest fundraiser for the ecumenical ministry program with offices in Hutchinson and Glencoe. The nonprofit organization was founded in 2002, with the mission to gather and share spiritual and financial resources of area churches with those in need.
Its areas of ministry include: the parish nurse program, diaper distribution, the Back to School supply program, the Warm Coat program and an every-other-month food outreach. It also supplies spiritual help in the form of prayer and gives away adult and children’s Bibles to clients. Those in need contact Common Cup for help. Assistance is given in the form of vouchers, never cash. Common Cup also works with other community agencies including McLeod County Social Services, Heartland Community Action, McLeod Alliance for Victims of
Domestic Violence, Crow River Habitat for Humanity, McLeod County Department of Corrections, McLeod County school districts, the Salvation Army, the McLeod Emergency Food Shelf, Twice is Nice and West Central Industries. “The need is great,” said Bev Bonte, executive director of Common Cup Ministry. Bonte said the community can help Common Cup by continuing its generous support through prayer, volunteerism and financial gifts. For more information, call Bonte at 320-234-8344.
