2018 marks Christos Center’s 40th year

Corgis comfort seniors Fred, the 6-month-old corgi, enjoys getting some attention from resident Harold Johnson. Corgis from the Corgi Racing Society and their owners visited residents at Keystone Place at LaValle Fields in Hugo on Tuesday, Aug. 7. See more photos on page 11.

Situated on 51 acres of woods and wetlands, is a quiet, private place surrounded by wildlife and home to a hidden treasure for those who wish to deepen their spirituality.

Christos Center For Spiritual Formation has been located off Holly Drive in Lino Lakes since 1990, but many people often pass by completely unaware it is there.

“In many ways Christos feels like a spiritual home to me. It’s not that I don’t go to church, I do go and I enjoy it, but it has enhanced my own personal journey and spiritual growth,” said Christos Board Member and Spiritual Director Debbi Horton. “There is a freedom about this place. There isn’t an expectation that you are going to believe a certain thing. There isn’t an expectation that you have got to believe this, this and this to come here or that you are going to have all the answers.”

Joann Nesser founded the concept of Christos back in 1978. After attending silent retreats led by Catholic nuns and spiritual direcSEE CHRISTOS, PAGE 19

Centerville businesswoman helps others get organized

CENTERVILLE — Not everyone has the skill to be organized, but one local speaker and businesswoman says she can help.

“I see the opportunity to change and I just want to share it. At the end of the day, I just love fi xing problems. I love knowing that there is a solution and that I can help,” said Jan Lehman, owner of CTC Productivity.

Lehman has lived in Centerville for five years and is originally from Illinois.

After four years with Excenture, she moved on to begin her 13-year career with Kraft Foods. Her very last position with them, which she described as “the best times of my life,” was when she relocated to work at a division in Stockholm, Sweden for 2.5 years.

She then became a stay-at-home mom for five years. After her kids got older, she started thinking about her career again.

Lehman got the idea for her business after she started spending time with a lot of unorganized mothers. “They really struggled with organization and that to me is just such a funny thing,” she said.

What started off part time has now become full time. Nine years ago she created a home-organizing business called SEE ORGANIZER, PAGE 20

Girls welcomed in local Cub Scout packs

already been welcomed into Pack 432 by Peterson and has her own uniform. This fall she will continue working on earning her Arrow of Light rank.

In the midst of this change, Cubmaster Craig Flor of Pack 212 in Vadnais Heights said nothing “earthshattering” is happening, especially in regard to girls joining his own early adopter pack.

“They’re just kids, we’re all doing the same thing and having a good time,” he said There are other ways girls - and boys - can benefit from joining Scouts, besides having fun. Developing as a leader, community service, practicing citizenship, building character and confidence and learning new skills in a safe environment are all common themes that have been mentioned by the leadership interviewed for this article.

Another important benefit is that kids can become part of a community.

Celotta said that anyone can “fit in” at Scouts.

“If there are kids who haven’t found their niche, they might fi nd their sense of community with this group.”

If you are interested in registering your child for Scouts, the Northern Star Council website is now open to register both girls and boys. Families can also register for packs that only include boys. You can also mark your calendar for Sept. 20, when elementary schools throughout the Council’s region will have an open house to help families register their child for Scouts. If you have any questions about Scouts or wish to register your child, you can call the Council’s main office at 612-261-2300 or visit its website at northernstarbsa.org or joincubs.org.

instead of running to two different places.”

Families who haven’t been able to run their son and daughter to two different places have often brought their daughters to Cub Scout events anyway. This is how Ellie and Kaelyn got involved in Cub Scouts.

Kaelyn’s mom, Mindy McLain, says that Kaelyn had wanted to be an official Scouts member from the very beginning. “When you’re watching your older brother do (Scouts) for years,” she said, recalling what Kaelyn must have thought, “(you ask yourself) ‘when’s it my turn?’”

Ellie’s mom, Leslie Russell, recalled that when Ellie went to a Scout camp with her younger brother several years ago, she “got hooked” on the activities he did and has been involved in Scout activities ever since.

Both girls, from Centerville and Lino Lakes respectively, generally enjoy Scouts because its emphasis on outdoor adventures and camping already appeals to their interests. McLain described her daughter as a “rough and tumble” kind of girl while Ellie herself remarked that she enjoys “getting her hands dirty and interacting with things.”

The girls tried Girl Scouts when they were younger. While both their mothers noted that Girl Scouts is a good program with good leadership, fun activities and a welcoming environment, the program simply wasn’t for their daughters.

“There’s scouting for everyone,” McLain said, who notes that there are other scouting organizations in the Metro area besides Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts. “It’s a matter of finding the program that works for you.” One example might be Peterson’s daughter Hailey, who is involved in both Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts.

McLain noted that Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts are run very differently, especially since the core of Cub Scouts’ programming is the outdoor adventures.

Eight-year-old Kaelyn was registered when Pack 692 became an early adopter in March. Since then she has earned both the Bobcat and Wolf ranks.

Sweetness

Some Cub Scout leaders were not surprised when the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced last summer that packs could choose to welcome girls.

In fact, the announcement was anticipated.

“I wasn’t surprised because the district had let us know that it seemed like we were going in that direction,” said Dan Celotta, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 692 in Lino Lakes. Brian Peterson, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 432 in Centerville, was also hearing “higher-up” Scout leaders talk about the possibility of girls joining. Also, both chairs had noticed girls in their communities informally participate in Scout activities in the past.

Not only was the BSA’s announcement anticipated; it was welcomed.

While girls were still welcomed to participate in Scout activities, they did not officially earn awards, achievements and ranks. Celotta recalled one particular girl who did the same activities to earn an award as the pack’s official members, but watched everyone else receive something “tangible” while she received nothing. “It didn’t make much sense to her or anybody as well,” Celotta recalled. Now that girls can register as Cub Scouts, they can officially be awarded for their achievements.

Yet welcoming girls in Scouts has not happened overnight. In fact, so far only 32 packs in this area, including Celotta’s, have welcomed girls under the early adopter program.

The Northern Star Council, which administers to packs mostly in the Metro and central Minnesota, decided to not let all packs that chose to welcome girls do so immediately. Instead, beginning this past March the Council allowed only packs that had applied to be “early adopter” packs to welcome girls. What these packs learn about welcoming girls into their communities, the Council will apply when more packs welcome girls for the official 20182019 program year, to make the introduction to the program the best it can be for girls. In a sense, the early adopter program works like a transitional pilot program.

The early adopter program will also be applied to Boy Scouts when that organization begins welcoming girls in February 2019 under the changed name “Scouts, BSA.” Meanwhile, the Council’s Marketing/ Communications Director Kent York said that even with welcoming girls, the Cub Scouts program will actually not undergo many significant changes. For one, Scouts has always been a “family program.”

Family members have always been invited to attend monthly meetings, events, volunteer opportunities and camps. With the door open, girls in a sense have always been involved in Scouts. The only program difference now with girls joining, York said, is that girls can participate not just as family members tagging along, but as official cardcarrying members of the program.

According to York, one reason why the BSA decided to have girls become official members is because families and leaders have wanted it for years. “You have to listen to what your families of your prospective members are telling you,” York said. “We’re trying to meet the needs of today’s families.” That might be contributed to girls informally participating and to changes in the family unit. “Families today are busier than ever it seems,” York explained. “They’re looking for a one-stop shop … to involve their son and daughter

Dear vaccine developers

M

y husband, who is in his 30s, was diagnosed with shingles recently — an ailment that stereotypically affects golden-agers. When I went to CVS Pharmacy that day, I happened to see an ad for the Shingrix vaccine on the counter.

I had a nice chat with the pharmacist — I learned her friend in her 20s also recently had shingles and that the vaccine is not prescribed for people under age 50. I also learned that the Shingrix vaccine was on back order due to popularity.

Witnessing the blistering rash that resembled third-degree burns, phantasmic needles pricking the skin and nerve pain running up and down the body, I could see why any person fully aware of the Story effects of the virus would get the shingles vaccine.

Chaser Shingles is a reactivation of the chicken pox (varicella zoster) virus, Sara Marie Moore which lies dormant in the nerves of basically everyone who has had chicken pox. It can be reactivated for a variety of reasons. Shingles isn’t contagious but it can give someone chickenpox who has not had it before.

Shingles affects older people more often as their immunity naturally declines with age. Hence why vaccine developers tested the vaccine on older people.

GSK developed the Shingrix vaccine, which succeeded Merck & Co’s Zostavax as the more effective vaccine recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017. GSK tested the vaccine on people age 50 and older to combat the age-related immunity decline that can cause shingles, according to its website. It was shown to be 90 percent effective. That’s awesome — if you’re over 50.

The Gen X and Millenial generations are perhaps at an increased risk of contracting shingles earlier in life due to another successful vaccine — the chicken pox vaccine. While it has almost wiped out the childhood disease among Gen Z and beyond, young adults who had chicken pox as children are no longer exposed to the virus. Some doctors theorize that means their immune system has less opportunity to get a boost against the virus. Immune cells that remember the virus die off with time. Studies in the 1960s by British epidemiologist Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson concluded those who were repeatedly exposed to the virus were less prone to reactivation, according to an article published by Maclean’s.

Who is going to make a shingles vaccine that can be prescribed to people under age 50? I contacted GSK to ask if they have any plans for developing a shingles vaccine for those under 50. Crickets — no response.

I’ve heard quite a few people question whether the price tag on the vaccine is worth it since it is not covered by all insurances. It costs about $300 out-of-pocket. If I could, I’d be lining up for the vaccine, doing whatever I could to pay for it. Plus, it’s going to cost more than $300 in doctor visits, medicine and comfort care if you get shingles.

One in three Americans gets shingles; one million people each year.

Shingles affects one area of your body on one side, depending on where it was reactivated in your nervous system. Thankfully, my husband had it on his back and leg. When it is reactivated in the cranial nerve, it can cause damage to the eye. Wherever it shows up, it can also cause postherpetic neuralgia, chronic nerve pain that can last years.

Oh, to be 50. Not. What I really want is a shingles vaccine for the generations sandwiched between those who can get the shingles vaccine and those who received the chicken pox vaccine (and are therefore generally protected from shingles, as well).

Please keep me posted, GSK. Or maybe Merck & Co. has something new up its sleeve. I know this is a first-world problem and I appreciate all you both do to mitigate so many diseases.

Transparency: Those who can hide it, will We can’t rely on public officials to voluntarily surrender information

he commissioners in Guilford County, North Carolina, voted this year to move all public notices required by state law from local newspapers to the county’s website. Four companies that publish newspapers in the county recently filed suit to have the ordinance — and the statute that enabled it — ruled unconstitutional. If the lawsuit fails, Guilford will become the first county in the U.S. to completely arrogate to Notes on itself the responsibility for publishing its noticNotices es. And there is a grave Richard Karpel danger that the practice will spread to the rest of the state.

There are many reasons why this is a spectacularly bad idea. Perhaps one of the best is simple human nature: If you give people the ability to hide information that is embarrassing or otherwise inconvenient to reveal, nine times out of 10 they will hide it.

Earlier this month, elected officials and government employees in Robeson County, North Carolina, provided us with a timely illustration of how they hide unpleasant information when presented with the opportunity to do so. According to the county’s largest newspaper, the names of close relatives of two county commissioners were omitted from a delinquent-tax notice published in a local weekly paper. The Robesonian also reports it was the

T

“If you give people the ability to hide information that is embarrassing or otherwise inconvenient to reveal, nine times out of 10 they will hide it.” second straight year the names were excluded from the list, so it’s clear it wasn’t the result of a simple mistake.

A public official in the county whose identity has yet to be revealed made it happen.

Perhaps even a better example came to us recently from Michigan, where late last year the state’s environmental agency published a notice about a Nestle Waters proposal to pump more groundwater from public wells for its Ice Mountain bottling plant in the state.

The agency knew it was a controversial matter since earlier attempts by Nestle to use public groundwater met with widespread opposition. Yet the only notice the agency provided about the proposal was posted on its own website.

The notice had been buried on that website for 41 days before a reporter from the Grand Rapids Press discovered it and wrote a story about the proposal. For those 41 days, the notice had attracted zero public attention or comment — not even from an environmental organization that has for many years fought Nestle in court to reduce the amount of water the company can withdraw from Michigan wells. Within the first three days after the newspa-

per’s story was published, the agency received 3,000 comments and the public outcry over the proposal forced it to extend the comment period and schedule a public hearing. It eventually received over 80,000 comments.

In retrospect, it’s pretty easy to see why the agency decided not to publish the notice in a local newspaper — an option it had been granted a few years earlier by the state legislature.

Public notice laws were enacted in all 50 states by previous generations that understood that some information is so important we can’t rely on public officials to voluntarily surrender it.

So they passed laws stating precisely

when and where such information must be published and didn’t leave it to the government to do the publishing. Excluding newspapers from that process would be a significant blow to transparency and a threat to the proper functioning of our democracy.

AUGUST 16, 2018

HUGO POLICE REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: • Washington County Sheriff’s deputies reported a suspicious vehicle running in the guest parking lot of the Flay townhouses on 140th Street N. and Flay Avenue N. at 12:11 a.m. July 23. Because there has been a recent history of vehicle breakins around that neighborhood, and as deputies recognized the two male occupants from previous suspicious activity, deputies conducted a search of the vehicle. Deputies discovered a pawn shop receipt and a black backpack fi lled with nonmatching clothes. The vehicle and its occupants were eventually released.

• A St. Paul man, 37, was arrested at 2:45 a.m. July 23 at the Kwik Trip in the 14000 block of Victor Hugo Blvd. N. for receiving stolen goods and driving after revocation after deputies on patrol recognized the driver of the vehicle as it pulled into the service station. Just to be sure, deputies conducted a computer check which showed revoked status for the driver and stolen status for the vehicle. To make certain the driver was actually driving the vehicle, deputies waited until the subject got back into the vehicle and drove away. When the motorist was pulled over, he was nervous and showed signs of drug use.

• A Hugo woman, 57, was cited at 6:48 p.m. July 24 in the 4800 block of Frenchman Road for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, after a squad on routine patrol observed her turn west on Frenchman Road from southbound Highway 61 and nearly hit two northbound youths on bikes in the crosswalk while the “walk” sign was on. The motorist apologized and said she didn’t notice the two boys. As a result, the subject was also issued a verbal warning for driver’s license violation because she wasn’t wearing corrective lenses even though her license indicated that requirement.

• Ten windows were reported broken at 9:09 p.m.

July 24 in the 12000 block of Heather Avenue N. The complainant was advised to contact deputies if that number were to change.

• Two Volkswagen key fobs were reported found at 7:41 a.m. July 25 on a sidewalk in the 5000 block of 157th Street N. • A resident in the the 5000 block of 157th Street N. at 3:35 p.m. July 25 reported receiving a scam phone call. The complainant told deputies that the same number had called at least three times. Deputies advised the complainant to block the number.

• A resident in the 13000 block of Goodview Avenue N. at 8:02 p.m. July 25 reported coming home at the end of the day and fi nding his $1,800 Honda boat motor and $80 marine battery stolen.

• A resident in the 5000 block of Egg Lake Road N. at 9:56 p.m. July 25 reported heavy damage to the driver’s side of his vehicle, where two rear windows had been broken out and both tires flattened.

Witnesses reported seeing a large white pickup truck with loud pipes hitting the vehicle. And, indeed, the damaged vehicle showed areas of white paint transfer, and pieces from the white vehicle, including a piece that said “Ford,” were found on the ground at the scene.

• A construction trailer from C & J Stoneworks in the 5000 block of 130th Lane N. was reported broken into overnight July 25-26. A metal framing square not belonging to the company crew and which may have been used as a pry tool, was found near the trailer and entered into evidence along with a piece from a broken door handle.

• A suspicious vehicle not reported as stolen by the registered owner turned out to be stolen after all.

The vehicle, hooked up with a trailer, was discovered by deputies parked unoccupied in a new construction area on 129th Drive N. at 130th Street N. at 2:19 a.m. July 26 and showed a KOPS alert.

It turned out that the real registered owner had given the vehicle to a man when he was released from prison several years ago. The ex-convict then sold the vehicle to a third party two years ago.

When deputies inspected the trailer, they noticed the hinges cut. Inside, they found blueprints to a home on Fondant Avenue and a purse on the front passenger floor. Inside the purse, deputies found two loaded syringes, a container with two different types of pills and a checkbook belonging to one of the involved parties. The items were placed into evidence, and the original owner of the vehicle was summoned to pick it up. Deputies were un-

able to contact the trailer’s owner, however. The owner of another damaged trailer parked nearby was contacted. The right side door of that second trailer showed damage from being pried open.

• A resident in the 15000 block of Forest Blvd. N. at 8:05 a.m. July 26 reported her daughter’s prescription medication stolen from the kitchen by her brother. The suspect had asked the complainant’s daughter to watch his baby outside in the car while he retrieved his Xbox. The girl, 14, agreed, but later found her medication missing and the kitchen surveillance camera moved.

• A Plymouth man was cited at 10:54 a.m. July 26 on eastbound 170th Street N. and Jeffrey Avenue N. for speeding 65 mph in a 55 mph zone by westbound deputies who clocked him on radar at 79 mph. The motorist admitted to speeding and knowing that the speed limit was 55 mph.

• Two Hugo men, 30 and 25, were arrested near the intersection of Ethan Avenue N. and Europa Trail N. at 10:59 a.m. July 26 on felony warrants, after they were observed hiding in a boat by employees of a nearby business. The Wilson Tool security employee then alerted the staff at Goose Lake Marine and Power Sports. Employees from Goose Lake Marine hopped into their vehicles and chased the two suspects, who had fled on foot. The employees caught the suspects at Ethan and Europa and held them until deputies arrived on the scene. The boat that had been sheltering the suspects was messed up with dirt on the floor and scuff marks on the seats.

An estimate of damages to the boat is pending.

• A resident in the 5000 block of 141st Circle N. at 8:29 p.m. July 26 reported receiving a voice message advising him that the local police had four charges against him and that he needed to check into the issue within 24 working hours. When the complainant called the number back, he didn’t receive an answer. Deputies reported receiving at least six similar calls the previous day.

• A Shoreview woman, 66, was cited at 1:57 a.m. July 27 on southbound Frenchman Road and Oneka Parkway N. for speeding 47 mph in a 35 mph zone by northbound deputies at the intersection with 145th Street N. • A patio door of a house under construction in the 4900 block of 142nd Circle N. was reported damaged at 2:30 p.m. July 27 from a rock thrown at it.

Estimated replacement value is set at $180.

• A resident in the 12000 block of Elmcrest Avenue N. at 10:04 a.m. July 28 reported spotting the two kayaks stolen July 10 from the dock of his residence for sale on Craigslist for $200 each. The complainant sent a text message to the seller but has not received a response.

• A resident in the 14000 block of Irish Avenue N. reported his mailbox damaged overnight July 29-30. The damage was minor, but the complainant requested extra patrol.

• A resident in the 12000 block of Elmcrest Avenue N., who earlier reported discovering his two stolen kayaks for sale on Craigslist for $200 each, at 11:00 a.m. July 30 advised deputies that he had received a message from the seller that the kayaks were still available for sale. The boats were chained to a boat rack near the beach house on Lake Phalen in St. Paul, the seller said. Washington County Sheriff’s deputies contacted the St. Paul Police Department, who sent an officer to the scene to verify the serial numbers, but saw that they had been removed instead. The complainant is arranging to meet with the seller and to coordinate with St. Paul deputies to assist.

• A wife in the 14000 block of Generation Avenue N. at 11:06 a.m. July 30 reported that her husband had beat her. The complainant told deputies several times that her spouse had committed domestic assault, but after further dialogue divulged that he had only slapped her twice on the right forearm. Deputies observed no marks or bruises on the complainant’s arm. The complainant admitted to the lesser abuse and told deputies that the slaps had resulted from a verbal argument about a meeting the couple was to attend. She admitted that she only wanted deputies to scare her husband, who denied slapping the complainant. The couple professed love for each other and noted that a new baby in the home may have added to the stressful atmosphere. Deputies advised the pair of possible consequences of their activities.

• A resident in the 15000 block of Empress Avenue N. at 11:22 a.m. July 30 reported an attempted identifi-

cation theft scam.

• A resident in the 15000 block of Forest Blvd. N. at 3:34 p.m. July 30 reported receiving various emails and text messages from Road Link Express about a possible job. The complainant, 82, also received an unsolicited check in the mail for $4,800 without any instructions about the next step to be taken regarding the check.

• A suspicious person reported rummaging around inside a contractor’s trailer at 1:23 a.m. July 31 in a new construction area on 130th Street N. and Flay Road N. turned out to be a contractor who had a permit from the builder to work late.

• A resident in the 6000 block of 147th Street N. at 11:23 a.m. July 31 reported his taxi driver friend, who had a key to the residence, for entering the residence and taking vitamins and medications valued at $1. At fi rst, the complainant said he didn’t want to charge the subject, but simply wanted deputies to talk to the subject and persuade him to turn back the key. Later, however, the complainant changed his mind and wanted to press charges after all, because he and his mother were afraid of the subject. Deputies advised the complainant to keep all the texts and emails for evidence.

• A suspicious person inside a vehicle in the 14000 block of Foxhill Avenue N. at 3:02 a.m. Aug. 1 turned out to be a male from Eagan, 17, asleep in his vehicle because he was too tired to drive all the way home after a visit to his girlfriend. Deputies advised the youth that he would not be allowed to sleep in his vehicle and to go home. He did.

• A resident in the 16000 block of Ingersoll Avenue N. at 12:29 p.m. Aug. 1 reported a scam.

• A St. Paul man, 56, was arrested at 11:51 p.m. Aug. 1 on southbound Highway 61 at 120th Street N. on a gross misdemeanor warrant for theft, driving after suspension, failure to provide proof of insurance and unlawful use of a communications device while operating a motor vehicle after he was pulled over for driving erratically. Northbound deputies on stationary patrol observed the motorist swerve within his lane and cross over the fog line and drive while on the phone as the truck passed them with its cab illuminated. The driver admitted to all his transgressions and was transported to jail without incident. A counterfeit $50 found in the vehicle was taken into evidence.

• Loud music coming from a basketball court near the 15000 block of French Drive was reported at 12:55 a.m. Aug. 2. Deputies were unable to locate the source of the racket.

• A $1,400 Tapco Pro 2 brake for siding and two 24-foot long Alumapole pump jack square poles valued at $300 each were reported stolen at 4:14 p.m. Aug. 2 from the 6000 block of 170th Street N., after they had been stored outside. There are no suspects, no camera footage, no serial numbers and no evidence from the scene available.

• A Mahtomedi man, 47, is suspected of embezzling $30,000 from a business in the 17000 block of Foxhill Avenue N. The CEO told deputies at 9:34 p.m. Aug. 2. that his office manager, who was fired in April due to lack of performance and alcohol use, had been giving himself bonuses and paying himself through Pay Pal using the company’s credit cards. The complainant told deputies he had extensive documentation of the subject’s methods used to take unearned money from the company.

• A Wyoming man, 34, was arrested at 12:41 a.m.

Aug. 3 at 165th Street and Forest Blvd. N. for third-degree DWI and sdoing 83 mph in a 55 mph zone by deputies on stationary patrol who smelled a strong odor of alcohol when they conducted the traffic stop. The motorist,who sported bloodshot watery eyes and slurred speech, refused to participate in the field sobriety test. He was booked and released to a responsible party.

• After a report of an explosion in the 5000 block of 170th Street N. at 4:27 a.m. Aug 3, deputies arrived on the scene to fi nd two males on bicycles leaving the scene. After fi nding no evidence of the males having been involved in the disturbance, deputies released them. However, deputies found a black backpack on the side of the road near to where the males had come from. Inside the backpack were three smoking fi reworks that had recently been set off. Deputies returned the backpack to the males with a warning about setting off fi reworks.

Street. Officers took statements from both owners and a community service officer will follow up on the matter.

• Officers responded to a delayed hitand-run property damage accident in the 1500 block of Peltier Lake Drive in Centerville Aug. 6. Upon arrival, the suspect vehicle was gone and there was minimal damage to a mailbox. No license plate was retrieved from the suspect vehicle and the damage loss is estimated at $100.

• Police responded to a phone call report of a theft from a motor vehicle that occurred in the 8900 block of Syndicate Avenue in Lexington Aug. 6. An unknown suspect removed items from an unlocked vehicle over the weekend. The total loss is estimated at $1,470.

New law reforms handling of sexual assault exam kits A new state law co-authored by Rep. Randy Jessup (R-Shoreview) took effect Aug. 1. Its provisions will reform the way sexual assault examination kits are handled, provide clarity to law enforcement and put power back in the hands of survivors seeking justice, according to Jessup's office.

The law came after a 2015 audit done by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) found a statewide backlog of nearly 3,500 untested kits, including some involving open cases.

“Since becoming a legislator, I have worked hard to ensure that victims of sexual assault receive the justice they deserve,” said Rep. Jessup. “This law is a critical step in the right direction in the fight against sexual assault in Minnesota. I was proud to be a co-author on this legislation and look forward to continuing this important work in the future.”

The new law requires

law enforcement to retrieve an unrestricted sexual assault examination kit for testing within 10 days of notice and submit that kit for testing at a forensic laboratory within 60 days. “Unrestricted” means the patient has authorized law enforcement to submit the kit to a forensic laboratory for testing.

The law makes clear that the kit does not have to be tested if it’s believed to not have evidentiary value in a case (if there is a confession, for example), but still requires law enforcement to make a record with the county attorney on why the kit did not add evidentiary value.

The kit ensures victims are more easily able to track their kits through the system, requiring law enforcement to respond within 30 days to requests from victims about when their kit was submitted to a lab and whether a DNA profile was obtained from testing.

It also requires law enforcement agencies to provide liaison services between the victim, agency and lab, helping victims more easily navigate what can be a complicated and overwhelming system.

The goal is to create clear procedures for victims who may choose to come forward at a later date with testing and reclassify their kit from restricted to unrestricted.

This new law was crafted in a working group which included stakeholders associated with law enforcement, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), health care, attorneys, sexual assault nurse examiners and the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA). MNCASA has also been instrumental in seeking federal grants that will help test all the remaining untested kits, looking especially for serial rapists.

Submitted

ment Division. “This new law should send the message that drinking and driving – no matter what the vehicle – isn’t acceptable and the consequences are severe.”

As an example, a person convicted of DWI in a motorboat, or who refuses testing for a motorboat DWI, would have their driver’s license suspended and be prohibited from operating ATVs, motorboats and snowmobiles for one year. Additionally, first-time DWI offenders operating off-road recreational vehicles or motorboats also will be subject to chemical use assessments, conditional release and plate impoundment – the same as a DWI in a highway-licensed vehicle.

The Minnesota DNR and other law enforcement agencies in the state, along with ATV and snowmobile groups, supported the law change, which passed the Legislature with bipartisan support and was signed into law in May by Gov. Mark Dayton.

New DWI law restricts offenders from ATVs, boats and snowmobiles A new law that went into effect Aug. 1 means people convicted of driving while intoxicated – regardless of the vehicle they’re driving – will lose their driver’s license and be prohibited from operating motor vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles, motorboats and snowmobiles.

The state Legislature passed the law following the death of 8-year-old Alan Geisenkoetter Jr., who died in January after being struck by a snowmobile driven by a man whose driver’s license was revoked after multiple DWI offenses.

Before the law change, people convicted of DWI in a highway-licensed vehicle still could legally operate ATVs, motorboats and snowmobiles.

The changes apply to violations that occur on or after Aug. 1.

Centerville musician headed to Miami on full ride

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

CENTERVILLE—A centerville native is one of 230 “top students” from across the country attending 30 universities to be selected as a Stamps Scholar.

Ruth Stokes is headed to the University of Miami Frost School of Music this fall on a full ride Stamps Scholarship.

Stamps Scholars are chosen for their academic excellence, leadership experience and exceptional character.

“Given its selectivity and benefits, the Stamps Scholarship has become one of the most prestigious scholarships for high school seniors,” said Don Bishop, associate vice president for enrollment at the University of Notre Dame. “The Stamps Scholarships have become one of the most important and attractive offerings among our merit programs.”

At many partner universities, the Stamps Scholarship covers the total estimated cost of attendance for four years of undergraduate study and also includes an enrichment fund that scholars can use for academic and professional development, ranging from study abroad, to internships, to independent research.

Stokes comes from a musical family. Her father Timothy and mother Debra are both pianists and met while majoring in piano performance in college. “I grew up with music all around me and started playing piano at a very young,” she said.

Around the age of 4, Stokes said her and her older sister Rachel started playing piano and a couple years later they switched to strings. Stokes played cello and Rachel played violin. “I guess my parents thought there were too many pianists in the house,” she said.

“We did private lessons with some great teachers.

We have had different teachers over the years, but it has been a great journey and my they have kept it our choice on whether or not we continued to play but we always loved it,” she explained.

Her other siblings are also musical. Joseph, 14, plays trombone and guitar; Becca, 11, plays violin and piano; And John, 7, plays piano and just started

else and just did music on the side and it just didn’t feel right. It is something I love, so why not do something I love,” she said. “I know it will be a harder field probably than a lot of other things, but I am excited.”

When Stokes received the news that she was a Stamps Scholar, she couldn’t believe it. “I was really excited and honestly kind of surprised because I had heard back from some other schools that I was accepted and I hadn’t back from Miami yet. Then I was thinking I would go somewhere else and I heard back,” she said.

She was especially excited about Miami not only for the music opportunities, but also because she has always had a love for the ocean. She hopes to either minor or double major in marine biology in addition to majoring in instrumental performance for cello.

After she graduates, her dream job would be traveling with a professional quartet and performing. She said she would also love to either sub or play in a professional orchestra someday, have her own studio and teach and eventually go to graduate school.

In 2006, Penny and Roe Stamps created merit scholarship programs for undergraduates at their alma maters – the University of Michigan and Georgia Tech. Since then, the Stamps Scholars community has grown into a nationwide network of colleges and universities with more than 1,800 current scholars and alumni.

Apartment complex proposed in wetland area behind Festival Foods strip mall HUGO — Another development is on the drawing board.

A project called Frenchman Lofts has been proposed by MWF Properties.

It’s a three-story multifamily residential apartment complex with 45 units. The building would be situated on 18 acres north of Rosemary Way, west of Everton.

Most of the property is either wetland or covered by a conservation easement that prohibits construction. That leaves the buildable acreage at 4.6 acres for the complex.

The Planning Commission reviewed a sketch plan July 26 and was generally comfortable with the site layout, land use and location, but would like to see changes in architectural design.

Specifically the commission wants the applicant to remain

focused on making sure the development blends well with the surrounding environment and recommended four-sided architecture, even though the back of the building may not be easily seen.

City Council approved a rezoning, preliminary plat and final plat back in 2008 for a phased development on 54 acres known as Frenchman Place. The proposed Lofts project is located on an outlot of that development, which includes medical buildings, a daycare and a church.

MWF Properties has a purchase agreement to buy the property from the owner.

Rental rates are expected to run $660 to $820 per month for one bedroom; $950 to $1,025 per month for two bedroom and $1,200 per month for three-bed-

room units. According to a planning department report, the project would provide rental housing to working class families who earn 60 percent of the area median income or less. This equates to $40,000 to $65,000 a year.

The project is in the early stages. The applicant requested comments on the sketch plan prior to going forward with the application process.

Community development intern Pierre Giguere noted in his report that Hugo’s Comprehensive Plan includes a focus on development of low to moderate income housing for city residents.

The property is zoned medium density residential, which is between six and 10 units per acre.

This project would be 9.78 units per acre.

HUGO BITS AND PIECES HUGO — At its Aug. 6 meeting, the City Council approved: • Final plan and development agreement for Oneka Place. CPDC-Pratt-Oakwood, LLP, is developing a 117-acre parcel north of Oneka Parkway and 159th Street. The final plat will have 54 lots that meet minimum lot standards and requirements outlined in the PUD. • Appointment of David Fry to the Hugo Planning Commission and Shawn Haag to the Parks Commission.

• Appointment of Hopkin’s Schoolhouse committee members. The seven members include one member of each commission, a staff member and two residents. Included are EDA Commissioner

Cindy Petty, Parks Commissioner Cathy Arcand, Historical Commissioner Cynthia Schoonover, Planning Commissioner Matthew Derr and resident Lynette Anderson. One resident has yet to be named.

• Hiring of Hugo residents Jacob Jorgenson and Timothy Olson as probationary firefighters, along with Lino Lakes resident William Lusk. Lusk lives eight minutes away but is employed with Schwieters and works behind the fire station. His employer will permit Lusk to leave work for daytime calls.

Council made an exception to the city code for the hire, which requires firefighters to reside within a six-minute radius of the Fire Hall.

Debra Neutkens

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its Aug. 8 meeting: • Approved the consent agenda, which included city claims, Centennial Lakes Police Department claims and Centennial Fire District claims; two encroachment agreements (1407 Mound Trail for a fence and 7375 Old Mill Road for a retaining wall); a proclamation declaring Sept. 17-23 as Constitution Week and a proclamation for Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October).

Councilman D. Love said, “I just wanted to take an extra moment to recognize the two resolutions that are being passed. I felt like both of those items are very important and I am glad we are taking time as a city to recognize those and promote them.”

• Approved the preliminary plat and rezoning from R1 Rural to R2A single-family residential for Old Mill Estates. The residential project application was submitted

by Todd Christensen and Jim MacKinnon. The proposed project subdivides two parcels into 34 single-family lots at 7396 and

7384 Old Mill Road. The property is approximately 20 acres in size, located on the northern border of Centerville.

City Administrator/Engineer Mark Statz explained the Planning and Zoning Commission decided to not recommend approval of private roads within the development, which would require a planned unit development. Statz added the commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat and rezone, with the stipulation that any lots out in the remote area of the development need to be conforming to the R2A zone and be served by public streets.

One of the main concerns for the development that was shared by residents at the commission’s public hearing July 31, was drainage issues.

Statz said the city would work with the developer to further evaluate the drainage system along the southern site boundary for potential impacts to adjacent residential backyards, adding the city might need to make some improvements to its emergency

overflow system in the event of a 100-year storm.

• Discussed and approved a policy for letters of credit. Statz explained although the city does have an ordinance outlining how to set up a letter of credit, how much it should be and that it is required to be considered by the City Council, there is no clear direction of how the city administers a letter of credit once it is in place.

“We have heard from a lot of perspective developers in town who are very concerned that they are able to get a timely request for letter-of-credit reductions,” Statz said.

Councilman Matthew Montain shared his concern with some of the “city and council” references in the policy, as he said he wanted to protect the developer in the event that city staff did not agree with the council.

The policy was ultimately approved with the language that a recommendation by city staff for letters of credit may be appealed through the City Council.

Flips gymnast Lily Peterson performs floor exercise at nationals.

Lily Pederson, daughter of Cory and Monica Pederson of White Bear Lake, was recently named to the USAG National Developmental Team. The USAG National Developmental Team is made up of young, talented female gymnasts from across the nation, 10 to 13 years old.

About 50 girls are named to the team each year. These girls are given the opportunity to travel to the National Training Facility (currently located in Crossville, Tennessee) once a month, for a week at a time, to train with the national training staff. Lily will attend her fi rst developmental camp in October, with another trip to follow in November.

Lily recently completed her 2018 season, where she placed 5th at Nationals in Cincinnati, Ohio and placed 4th at the HOPES National Championship, which was held in conjunction with the GK Classic Meet, in Columbus, Ohio, where she was named to the HOPES National Team.

Lily is currently training for her 2019 season, where she will again compete as a Junior Olympic Level 10 gymnast, as well as competing in elite qualifier meets where she hopes to qualify as a Junior Elite gymnast. She trains 25plus hours each week at Flips Gymnastics in White Bear Lake under coaches Bart and Lori Roskoski. She attends school part-time and was on the A honor roll all during her sixth grade year.

Lily’s goals include being named to the United States National Team, to compete for the USA internationally and to eventually compete for a spot on the 2024 Olympic team.

WEATHER TIDBIT Smoke from the wildfires in Canada are the only real item to talk about this week. Besides providing spectacular colorful sunsets, the high haze probably kept the high temperatures down a couple degrees. Otherwise, it’s been hot and dry. A break in heat was expected this week and we’re setting up for a nice weekend. I fought the crabgrass and the crabgrass won.

My yard has been run over with crabgrass, yours? Astro note: Mars continues to dazzle after sunset, look south.

Christos Center For Spiritual Formation features tranquil settings both indoors and outdoors for visitors to explore their spirituality. This year marks Christos Center’s 40th year.

CHRISTOS CENTER: Offers welcoming community to explore spirituality FROM PAGE 1

tors, she thought contemplative spirituality was missing a piece of her own Lutheran traditions and suggested a similar retreat for women at her church. By 1985, a core group of women expanded to an ecumenical community of almost 50 men and women, and the group formed into a nonprofit ministry.

Today, Christos Center is well known for Tending the Holy, a two-year program that trains individuals to become spiritual directors. “(It teaches) how to sit with another person who may or may not be going through crisis of faith or questioning. To be able to sit in silence with them and discern what God might be saying to them. Not to tell them, but to ask questions and allow them to discover it themselves,” said Director of Administrative Services and Spiritual Director LaDonna Olson.

The nonprofit also offers Sacred Connections, an eight month program for individuals who desire to deepen their relationship with God. “It could be a pastor who wants more information about contemplative Christianity or somebody in the corporate world who just wants to add to their life practices,” Olson explained.

Olson, a resident of North Branch, turned to Christos Center in 2001 after she had experienced some personal family tragedies. “I was really looking for answers to questions ... Who is God? Who am I? What is all of this about?” she said. “(Coming to Christos) was totally life changing for me. I opened up to

a deeper connection with God. I found that there was so much more to spiritual life than what we hear of in churches.”

Olson added the experience made her much more calm and less anxious. She graduated from Tending the Holy in 2003, which ultimately led her to seminary.

“I didn’t go to become a pastor … I wanted it to enhance my work as a spiritual director,” she explained.

Olson was inspired to pursue her master’s degree in congregational care. In 2013, Olson became Christos Center’s bookkeeper and last year filled the role of director of administrative services.

Horton, a resident of St. Paul, moved to the Twin Cities in 1998.

While she was working as a career counselor at the University of St. Thomas, a co-worker invited her to attend a silent retreat at Christos Center.

“I am an extrovert by nature so I thought the whole idea about go-

ing on a silent retreat was a little scary, but something drew me to go,” she said. “I was surprised to enjoy the quiet and how much I felt drawn to keep going.”

Horton graduated from Tending the Holy in 1996 and has remained involved with Christos Center in various capacities. She has served on the Board of Directors for over 10 years and started her own spiritual direction and Enneagram consultation business out of her home.

In addition to its well known programs, Christos Center also offers various events, workshops, retreats and rents out space to different groups.

ORGANIZER: Seeks efficiency opportunities FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED

Centerville resident Jan Lehman (left) with her employees Marcia Yockers, Catherine Solheim and Jenny Bierkedvedt. Lehman is the owner of CTC Productivity.

Can the Clutter in Oregon, but the business name and scope eventually changed.

“I was really trying to get back to what I had done before. I just knew that there is always a better way to do things,” she said. “I don’t have a lot of skills, but that is the one skill I do have. I seek efficiency opportunities.”

Eventually the business grew to include business organization.

“We provide a holistic approach to helping individuals be organized and productive both at home and work. CTC is really about circling the customer in all areas of their life for stress reduction and efficiency,” she explained. “If you have anybody who is feeling overwhelmed or feels like they are in a dysfunctional environment of some sort, we can help, because something is wrong.”

Up until two years ago, Lehman ran both the business in both Oregon and Minnesota. She eventually decided to close the Oregon location, as she said she didn’t have anyone who could successfully market the business there.

In January, Lehman was selected as a Women Who Lead honoree in the “Minnesota Business Magazine.”

Her business was also featured in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine this spring.

Lehman, a breast cancer survivor, is a national co-leader for National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO). In the Quad community, she serves as the secretary of Boy Scout Troop 236 in Circle Pines and volunteers with St. Genevieve’s Parish in Centerville.
