Oeth, of Lino Lakes, traces his own love of the outdoors to his childhood in Madison, Wisconsin. His home was situated next to an extended wooded corridor, which allowed him to roam for hours and miles, to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum and beyond. Out there, he was free to ski, built shelters, explore and more.
With time on his hands, he took the opportunity to take a course in northern Maine on being a canoe

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on Aug.2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Ryan Companies has a purchase agreement to acquire 33 acres north of Clearwater Creek, west of I-35E. The developer is also coordinating plans for development of the 10 acres south of Distribution Alternatives proposed by MSP Commercial. Ryan Companies is proposing construction of three buildings totaling approximately 451,000 square feet of manufacturing, office and warehouse space with an estimated market value of $31,000,000. Development of the south parcel, by MSP would add approximately 130,000 square feet and an additional $8.5 million in taxable market value.

the opportunity to start building my green thumb, especially for free. Several days later, I came home to the plants sitting at the end of my driveway, ready and longing to be replanted. In fact, they looked dreadful- dying if not death already. The dividing of the plant was traumatic for these left-overs, left on the curb and yet my neighbor assured me that they would ‘recover’ once they were planted and watered because sedum is a hardy and adaptable plant. In fact, it’s a breed of plant that flourishes when it is in fact divided andPlantsreplanted.likesedum and Hosta’s have a growth pattern that can reflect our lives as well, especially when our lives are left to their own devices. When we are left unattended, we can become invasive in those around us by spreading poor habits and losing our focus. We can easily forget what we were meant to do and who we are meant to be because we have become overgrown and focused on ourselves, instead of the communal landscape.

In order for growth to happen, we have to be willing to be transplanted where the gospel needs to be preached and the word of God, embodied. It means being willing to go outside the comfort of our garden beds into new places- into spaces where God’s love can bloom and grow. And when we allow Christ to divide and split our lives, it can be traumatic but we can and do recover. It’s challenging and yet can bring our lives into a new garden- give us a new purpose and place to thrive in order to bring beauty, to create space for God’s glory to shine and for faith to grow.

‘Resources under 1 roof’: Press Publications hosts senior health fair
Created to be divided?
We are transplanted into all kinds of places where greater growth can take place; where we don’t need to compete for sustenance – where there is space for stretching out in healthy ways- where the sunlight of God’s love can shine in our hearts- where we can flourish as we were intended. Trust that God has plans for you in the transplanting and that you have everything you need to flourish, once more.
the division Jesus is speaking of is akin to that of splitting plants like sedum. Traumatic and hard in the moment yet we have everything that we need in order to grow wherever we are planted by God. Everything we need is already embedded into our hearts so that wherever we go, in whatever way our transplanting is taking place, we will be able to grow and flourish once more.

According to court documents, on Dec.20, 2021, at his Brooklyn Park residence (his primary residence was in Lino Lakes), Chapa-Aguilera confronted a man about a drug debt. During the confrontation, Chapa-Aguilera brandished a handgun, ordered the man to the ground, tied his hands behind his back, and proceeded to beat and torture the victim for hours using a heated knife and a pipe. During the torture, Chapa-Aguilera demanded money from the victim and told the vic tim that he would have to distribute drugs to work off a perceived debt. Before leaving the residence, Chapa-Aguilera barricaded the victim in a crawl space under the house. The victim was later able to escape and contact law enforcement. The victim suffered extensive injuries, including numerous burns, broken ribs, a large laceration above his eye, and required a blood transfusion. Law enforcement seized approximately three pounds of methamphet amine from Chapa-Aguilera’s residence during a search warrant executed shortly thereafter.

My personal experience with a Nissan LEAF over the past year has been mostly positive, with a couple of exceptions. The immediate torque produced by the electric motor provides a quiet, quick and responsive driving experience and the battery range for the vast majority of day-to-day commuting and other activities is more than adequate. Charging the vehicle at home has been quite manageable. The increase in the electric bill is still significantly less than the cost of gasoline and the charges can be timed to take place at off-peak hours (after midnight) to further minimize the cost and also the demand on the power grid. I can’t say that I miss the experience of going to the gas station, espe cially during recent spikes in fuel prices. While Tesla has created a robust charging network, the availability of charging stations for the drivers of other electric ve hicles is spotty, so road trips must be planned carefully. I encountered the intersection of two of the primary weaknesses of EV’s (cold weather and range anxiety) during a trip up to Duluth last winter to visit family. A surprise encounter with freezing rain began to coat the windows of the vehicle. The need to turn up the heat caused a significant drop in the predicted battery range, adding drama to what would normally be a rela tively routine trip.

think my fascination with the practical applica tions of electric vehicles started when I first spotted Tom Birkeland’s vintage Volkswagen Beetle out side the Mahtomedi District Center during a RITE of Spring event back in 2008. I was intrigued by a badge on the door of the vehicle indicating that it was fully electric. Impressed with the imagination and creativity involved in transforming the iconic internal combus tion vehicle into 100% electric, I contacted Tom and he offered to give me a tour and also a (bonus) ride. At the time he was using the restored vehicle to commute in and around White Bear Lake, with occasional forays into the Twin Cities — that pushed the limits of its range. The test drive showed the vehicle to be quiet and quick off the mark. I remember think ing at the time, if someone can build a capable commuter car in their garage on a budget, why couldn’t the major automakers come up with something?

I’m realistic enough to understand that electric ve hicles are not a cure all, but they certainly can be part of a cleaner and more sustainable future, especially when you begin to factor in the evolution and growth of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The bonus is that once you get behind the wheel of one of these vehicles, you discover that, along with the quiet efficiency, the overall driving experience is really quite impressive. It feels like the future.

In the intervening years progress has been made, most notably by Tesla entre preneur Elon Musk. Demonstrating that speed and performance wouldn’t be an issue, the high-end Tesla Roadster was introduced in 2008. It gained attention for its quick acceleration — rivaling the performance of some of the most exotic cars available at the time. Other electric vehicles don’t get nearly as much atten tion as the Tesla, but the (more humble) Nissan LEAF was listed as the world’s all-time top selling plug-in elec tric car through December 2019, before being surpassed by the Tesla Model 3 in early 2020 and sales of General Motor’s Chevy Bolt EV began in California in Decem berSorting2016.

Yet another example: windmills require vast amounts of steel. The mining, logistics and production of said steel are all fossil-fuel dependent. And the windmill will never produce an energy return on investment. More “dirty” energy is burned to make and install it than it produces in a lifetime.Thenwe get to recycling at any product’s end of use. There is no infrastructure at present to handle half-ton batteries in any great volume. Will that too have to be built and processed with the muscle of fossil fuels? And where? My backyard, yours, or elsewhere?Renewable energy has historically only worked in subsistence economies. I’m all for clean energy, but not by placing at risk our complex economy and our citizens. A robust, rational realism should trump what appear to be provincial nimbyistic shibboleths. In this Senator Chamberlain is serving his constituents well and deserves our vote.
As an individual who struggled through the entirety of my Minnesota educational years due to unidentified, unsupported dyslexia, these laws are a dream come true. Thanks to Sen Chamberlain’s continued commitment to children’s education, they will not be left out or left without when it comes to such a critical life skill.
There are so many things going the wrong direction right now, but the good news is that we all have the choice to do something about it. Vote on Nov. 8 for representatives who will stand up for the families in our community. Parents need to be heard at schools and have a louder voice and influence in their children’s education. Families need more help dealing with mental health and fighting addiction.

With Sen. Chamberlain’s steadfast commitment, leadership, and work across the aisle on this bipartisan issue, here we are almost a decade later. We have accomplished the impossible! We have state laws that define dyslexia, require identification through screening, and provide supports to educators (who desperately want to help). We also have a specialist at the Minnesota Department of Education and statewide funding for educator training in the Science of Reading (structured literacy), which was recommended by the U.S. Congress 21 years ago.

The midterm election date is approaching soon, so I am encouraging my fellow residents to start educating themselves about important issues affecting their families. Are you tired of rising crime in our neighborhoods? Troubled with the high costs of groceries and gas? Worried about our children’s futures due to declines in math and reading scores? Alarmed with the rise of addiction and mental health problems in our society?
For these reasons, I am supporting the election of Dr. Scott Jensen for Minnesota Governor, the re-election of Rep. Tom Emmer (6th District) to the U.S. Congress, the re-election of MN Senator Roger Chamberlain, and the election of Elliott Engen to the Minnesota House of Representatives.
I connected with other local parents who were disheartened that none of our children were getting the specific help needed. Our only option was seeking private instruction outside of the schools. Our kids were in crisis and their futures were at stake! How can we have equity in education when literacy success is privatized? We formed a grassroots organization centered on improving literacy outcomes for all students, especially those with dyslexia.

Through a private diagnosis I discovered my son was dyslexic and would struggle with reading, writing and spelling. Though he qualified for support, I discovered our public schools lacked the specific training in the literacy required. I learned that I wasn’t alone, 17-20% of the population struggles with literacy due to this often undiagnosed, unsupported disability.

In 2013 we contacted Sen. Roger Chamberlain to help us. He listened to our experiences! He understood the barriers and societal impacts that low literacy has on families, communities, and our state. He saw a clear link between literacy, the achievement gap and equity. He supported our mission to ensure that every child regardless of socio-economic status or color or race has access to lessons in literacy to become proficient readers.

Yet is this to apply only to Minnesota, or to places where lithium is extracted? From my reading, the process is toxic to air and water, affecting nearby communities (and we think sweat shops are bad). Over a half million gallons of water are needed to produce one ton of lithium. Have ESG investors looked into this? Or looked the other way?

After graduating 19 starters from a No. 10 ranked team, much depends on how quickly the new starters can develop.

Nowacki booted a 37-yard field goal and Lance Nielsen blocked a punt that set up Pirner’s touchdown.
Centennial had a 1-5 record against STMA in the five seasons since the Knights were added to the schedule, including 0-2 last year in two close games.

The Cougars held the ball for most of the fourth quarter with their ground game. They rushed for 236 yards, with Harper gaining 93 in 13 carries. Each quarterback completed one pass, to Harper for 16 yards total. Defensive highlights included an interception by Will Quick and sacks by Melvin Wallace and Whiting.
Harper gained 191 yards on 26 carries, and bolted 55 yards on a pass as well. Harper and quarterback Daylen Cummings each had one-yard TD runs. Eli Nowacki booted field goals of 22 and 30 yards. Cummings completed 11 of 18 passes for 181 yards with no interceptions.
“It’s a whole new situation this year. Both teams are very young,” said Diggins. “They have nine juniors starting on defense.”

Cougars nipped by Stillwater 29-28, shut down STMA 17-5
Backup quarterback Henry Pirner sparked the Cougars, after Cummings sprained his ankle early in the game. A senior who also starts at safety, Pirner gained 84 yards in 15 runs, including a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a 40-yard run in the third quarter that set up Harper’s seven-yard touchdown.
Stillwater 29, Cougars 28
“We had to take stuff out of our game plan with Daylen in there, and go back to basic stuff, and Henry runs it really well,” Diggins said. He added, “Our offensive line is starting to come around.”
Tim Ball and Tyson Bautsch of the Cougars wrapped up STMA’s Connor Luongvan.

If you believe someone needs help, we encourage you to follow the ACE (Ask, Care, Escort) suicide prevention model, with these easy-to-remember steps: Ask – Ask, “Are you thinking of killing yourself?” Although it may feel awkward,
talking about your dad right now. If you want to talk about him we can, or we can totally talk about something else.” It’s best to let them take the lead.
Here’s what you should avoid saying to a grieving person:
“God has a plan.” or “They’re in a better place now.” There are varying meanings of death among different belief systems. Unless you’re certain that they share your faith in what happens after death, don’t force it on them as it will not be comforting.“Everything happens for a reason.” or “It was meant to be.” Avoid saying statements that try to justify the loss. Don’t suggest that a terrible and painful tragedy deserved to happen to them.
Knowing the right thing to say doesn’t come naturally, especially when the topics of death and grief are always avoided.
• Talking about, or preoccupation with, death or Preparingsuicide.fordeath, such as updating/preparing a will, giving away possessions, or taking steps to access lethal means (buying a firearm, acquiring quantities of pills/medication, researching ways to die).
research shows that people having thoughts of suicide feel relief when someone asks them in a caring way.
• Exhibiting a dramatic change in behavior, including withdrawal from friends or usual activities, increased alcohol/drug use, difficulties in sleeping or eating, decreased self-care.
Feeling extreme depression, guilt, or Feelingshame. hopeless.
“Listen to them with empathy, and avoid judgment. There is no timeline for grief, and it is helpful to avoid expectations that someone will feel better or stop talking about their loss after an arbitrary amount of time has passed,” says Sarah Vollmann, MPS, a board-certified art therapist and faculty member of the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition.

What should I do if I suspect someone is experiencing a crisis or is hurting?
Care – Show you care. The context of caring makes it a lot easier to ask the hard questions about suicide. By actively listening and engaging, without judgment, you are showing that you care – this might just be enough to help the person feel relief and that they are not alone.
It’s important for you to know that suicide is preventable. With commitment and engagement in our communities, workplaces, and homes, together we can help reduce the number of suicides. What are the warning signs that someone is at risk for suicide?
What to say and what not to say to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one (from Insider.com; May 2022. The article was medically reviewed

by David A. Merrill, MD, PhD, psychiatrist and director of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute’s Pacific Brain Health Center at Providence Saint John’s Health Center.)
Be willing to listen or simply keep them company.
“One of the most powerful things that we can offer to a bereaved friend or family member is to just be with them, while accepting their feelings and remaining present and empathic,” says Vollmann. Let them know that they can be vulnerable with you and your door is always open.
Suicide is a problem that touches the lives of many Americans. Many of us may know someone, such as a friend, family member, or coworker who has attempted or died by suicide. Over the past two decades, suicide rates have steadily risen in the United States. Suicide is currently ranked 10th for cause of death among all ages.
There are times when a grieving person wants to talk about their loss and times that they don’t, so let them know that you’re open to talking about their loss while also letting them decide if and when they want to open up. According to Vollmann, you can say something along the lines of, “I don’t know if you feel like
“You need to move on.” Grieving lasts a long, long time and there’s no getting over it. Their loss will continue to be meaningful to them over time, and telling them to move on or cheer up will only invalidate their grief. “It can sound like a judgement, as if they are mourning too much or too long, and make people feel unable to share about their grief,” says Vollmann.
Escort – When someone acknowledges that they are feeling suicidal or hopeless, care enough to connect them to the nearest helping resource. Do not leave them alone! If possible, separate them from methods of harm.
