Lino Lakes teen speed skater is Team USA member with Olympic goals

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Greta Myers’ first love was hockey.

Then she took up speed skating as a training tool for hockey.

Soon, Myers found that skating as fast as she could was even more exciting than putting pucks in nets. And that she’s really good at it.

Despite a relatively late start in the sport, the 15-year-old Lino Lakes

resident has earned a spot on Team USA and will compete in the Junior World Finals in Belarus, Feb. 15-16, and the Junior World Championships in Poland, Feb. 21-23.

Her goal is to “represent our country” in the next three Olympic teams, starting in Beijing in 2022.

“I have been working really hard for the past couple seasons, especially this one, and progressively getting better and better,” Myers said.

“I have always had the goal in mind to be an Olympian, and I have always known that to make it to the top, I would need to sacrifice a lot of things, including hockey.”

Myers is the youngest member of Team USA, competing against some skaters who are three years older.

Nationally, the 5-foot-6, 130-pound skater is ranked No. 3 overall for females 13 to NICK PEARSON/MIDWAY SPEEDSKATING CLUB | SUBMITTED

Circle Pines author creates dramafree workplace

Big wheels equals big fun

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

For over 30 years, an area author has worked to resolve more than 300 workplace conflicts and built a reputation for restoring trust, resolving conflict and improving productivity in organizations and businesses across the globe.

Anna Maravelas, a Circle Pines resident, released her second book earlier this month titled, “Creating a Drama-Free Workplace: The Insider’s Guide to Managing Conflict, Incivility & Mistrust.” The book expands on the concepts she published in her first book, “How to Reduce Workplace Conflict and Stress,” published in 2005.

Maravelas, a licensed psychologist, always thought she would one day have her own private practice. She ended up working in organization development at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, where she was responsible for skill building with leadership staff and conflict resolution.

“Their number one need, as is with many organizations, was conflict resolution between groups/departments, within departments and between leaders,” she explained. In 2002, she founded her own company, Thera Rising. Thera is a Greek word that means “to heal.”

Every year, Thera Rising teaches

land use application and are requesting a curb cut width of 26.5 feet be allowed. City zoning ordinance allows for a maximum 26-foot curb cut/driveway width.

City Planner Katie Larsen explained that Capstone Homes, Inc. obtained a building permit in October 2017 to construct a new home in the Century Farms North subdivision. The certificate of survey submitted with the building permit showed a compliant driveway curb cut width of 19.4 feet. The grading as-built survey submitted by the builder in July 2018 and field verified by city staff confirmed the curb cut width was 26.5 feet, which is 6 inches wider than allowed.

Both the council and the Planning and Zoning Board have discussed the topic at length, but don't feel a change is needed to the city's ordinance. Councilman Chris Lyden said he would like to have a discussion on the different zones and driveway width requirements.

• Held the first reading of a zoning ordinance text amendment to allow for small wireless facilities. Larsen explained that Zoning Ordinance section 1007.53 (antennas) does not address small wireless facilities, but City Code Chapter 305 does establish requirements.

The amendment simply directs people to find more information about the topic in Chapter 305.

• Approved the plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for the 2020 street rehabilitation project, chip seal project and Apollo Drive Trail project.

The estimated $759,000 project will include full-depth mill and overlay/reclamation and water system repairs on Deerwood Lane from Birch Street south to Fox Road, and Fox Road from Deerwood Lane west to West Shadow Lake Drive. A bid alternate ($175,000) will be included for Beaver Circle, Deerwood Circle and Fox Circle.

The project will also include a thin overlay on Carl Street from Fourth Avenue to the west 1,400 feet, Rehbein Street, 77th Street and Gordon Avenue. There will also be a trail installed with signal crossing improvements on the north side of Apollo Drive between Lilac Street and Lake Drive. Chip seal, crack fill, ADAcompliant (Americans with Disabilities Act) pedestrian ramps/striping and curb repairs will be made to the City Hall parking lot and on Town Center Parkway from Lake Drive to the YMCA. • Approved the sale of about 0.78 acres of wetland credit from the Otter Lake bank and approximately 0.31 acres from the Wollan Park bank to Fenway Land Company for $93,815. The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) requires replacement of any construction-related wetland impacts on a per square foot basis. Minnesota's

wetland banking program includes both private and state-sponsored wetland banks which have "credits" that are used to offset (mitigate) authorized wetland impacts.

The acquisition is intended to mitigate potential wetland impacts related to a pending residential development in Hugo. Community Development Director Michael Grochala estimated the city has about 4 acres of Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) approved credits and about 1.5 acres of Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) approved credits remaining. The sale of the credits will be used to reimburse the surface water management fund for bank establishment costs.

The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m.

Monday, Feb. 10, at City Hall.

The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Jan. 27 meeting: • Heard from resident Nate Vojtech, who introduced himself and explained that he is running for City Council. “I have been in the city for about 10 years ...

I think Lino Lakes is a spectacular place, and I'd be honored to serve on the council,” he said.

• Approved the consent agenda, which included a special event permit for Trappers Bar & Grill's annual Snow Golf event Saturday, Feb. 8, and a peddler license for Pro Star Tree Care.

• Authorized the plans and specifications for the Well House No. 1 rehabilitation project. City Engineer Diane Hankee explained that the project includes remodeling the existing well house, adding two chemical rooms, a new pitched roof, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, seepage pit and other associated improvements.

Bids were received back in June 2019 but came in higher than expected. The council rejected the bids with the intent to rebid the project at the beginning of 2020. The budget for the project is $625,000. Hankee said city staff also investigated the possibility of adding temporary or permanent chemical treatment rooms and decided against it, as the cost could be upwards of an additional $20,000.

• Approved a variance for a curb cut/driveway width for 42 Robinson Drive. Brock and Kahla Jensen submitted a

The roads get sloppy, and they get cleaned off. I have to shovel the end of my driveway numerous times, but that's okay because the roads are looking really good.”

• Gave an update on the 2020 Census. Mayor Dave Bartholomay suggested spending a portion of the March 24 council meeting on the topic to raise awareness and participation on Census Day April 1.

• Heard from Bartholomay, who said he attended the Centennial National Honor Society induction Jan. 15 and the League of Minnesota Cities Conference (with Councilman Dean Goldberg) Jan. 25-26.

Bartholomay also noted that the council held a work session immediately before the regular Jan. 28 meeting to interview candidates for the Utilities Commission, Planning Commission and Park Board.

Appointments will be made at the next council meeting.

• Reported Jan. 15 Utilities Commission meeting happenings. Bartholomay said that the commission reviewed the 2019 utility survey results and looked at the proposed rates for 2020. “We did increase the stormwater fee from $6.50 per month to $7.50 per month. This is a fee that goes on all the 2,000 houses in the community. It helps to then bring in money and revenues so we can use that to clean out our stormwater ponds,” he explained. “The fees needed to be increased a bit because we still do have some costs for the iron enhanced sand filter project.”

Bartholomay said the commission also increased its offerings for

Jury duty

s I opened the mail, I thought, “This can’t be happening.”

I think we all feel the same way — that little bit of hesitation when we get a summon for Jury Duty, thinking we don’t want to do this. One must really think about it once every four years. That’s the least we can do. It’s our civic duty and it’s a privilege to be part of our judicial system. Besides, this is another part of what makes America, America.

Once the letter was opened and it was confirmed that it was in fact a jury duty summons, it was up to me to fi ll out the simple qualification questionnaire.

This was to be completed on or online, “but not both.”

Publisher’s paper What I learned later is these questions help the judge and View the attorneys speed up the jury Carter Johnson selection process, although you may never get to that point.

When responding to the questions, be accurate and succinct.

As I finished reading through my jury summons paperwork, I was instructed to call in at 5 p.m. the night before jury selection to get my instructions. My first morning was cleared of duty so I had to call in again at 11:30 a.m. to see if I was needed for the afternoon. I set a reminder on my phone and when I called, the voicemail was clear and easy to understand.

Within seconds, I knew I was part of the selection process.

After traveling down I-35E, the courthouse is an easy exit on Wacouta Street to Kellogg Boulevard where you take a right and go a few blocks to Ramsey County District Court. There are several parking garages nearby with an easy skyway connecting to the courthouse. Do not use a parking meter as if you are selected as a juror since you will not be able to leave or add time to your meter even if you have the smart phone app. Lowry Garage and Victory Ramp are listed on the back of the jury summons paperwork and may give you a discount.

It’s key that you be in the waiting room on time or before. If you are late, it will be disruptive and you will miss some of the videos, as well have others stare at you and feeling uncomfortable. You will be given a booklet to read. The dress code is professional as you may be entering a courtroom. Bring some things to fi ll your time because if you are not called into jury duty you may have to wait on the grounds.

I couldn’t afford not to be working so I quickly logged in and began to work as others around me were doing puzzles and games or reading on electronic devices. Since the cell phone signal is low inside the courthouse, I had to log into WiFi. You wouldn’t want to do any banking transactions while you wait.

Remember, you are entering a secure government building and will go through security screening. It’s not as strict as TSA but has a similar approach. Do not touch the red “stop” button on the baggage scanner as that shuts down the whole system.

As you proceed down the stairs to the waiting room, have your jury summons notice ready so they can scan it and get you into the system quickly. They also have kiosks where scanning is available. Everyone in the building was very helpful in informing us where to go and helping if we looked lost.

I was delighted to go through the process and was intrigued that I made it through the jury questioning. I admit I was relieved that I wasn’t ultimately put on a trial. Consider jury duty a service to your country and smile when you are selected to serve.

Key issues to focus on this session

e’re just one week from the start of the 2020 legislative session on Feb. 11 and the buzz around the Capitol is intensifying.

Conversations focus on issues such as insulin costs, the sobering realities of fentanyl and opioid abuse, lack of workforce housing, mental health, or equity and social justice issues.

Other conversations stress the $1.3 billion budget surplus, dysfunction and scandals at the Department of Human Services (DHS), rising energy costs, gas tax proposals and increasing crime and public safety. Put all these together, and you get an idea of the weighty issues awaiting legislators.

Since the good news of the $1.3 billion surplus broke in early December, legislators, state agencies and interest groups have been discussing how to best utilize funds. The state’s rainy day Legislator these and reserve funds are flush, so it’s pretty clear to me that the surplus Lingo ultimately belongs to Minnesota Linda Runbeck taxpayers, and that it should be returned to them via tax relief.

A key reason for tax relief is to keep Minnesota competitive with other states and is critical for retaining Minnesota residents.

One option for tax relief is to eliminate the state law that taxes Social Security income. Another is to eliminate the estate tax. On both of these taxes, Minnesota is an outlier when compared to neighboring states.

Ultimately, we need to remember that this tax surplus belongs to hardworking Minnesotans.

Another important issue is the crisis of maladministration at the DHS. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been wastefully or illegally spent on incorrect payments, unauthorized payments and ineligible recipients including dead enrollees.

When delivering a special review investigating the Department’s overpayments to two tribal nations, the Legislative Auditor James Nobles said that there is “troubling dysfunction” at the agency and called on the Gov. Walz administration to “finally pay attention” to an accumulation of fraud and mismanagement at the agency.

Accountability at other government agencies is needed as well. For example, the public was shocked this fall by the Department of Administration’s admission that state contract laws are routinely overlooked by state agencies such as the Departments of Employment & Economic Development (DEED), Health, Corrections, Public Safety and MNIT. Another big issue that should receive attention is the potential of using clean, nuclear energy as a remedy to our energy and climate change concerns. Our energy future is at stake.

Finally, as a member of the Transportation Committee, I plan on pursuing several transportation-related items this session including improving driver’s license exam wait times, bus driver shortages and safety concerns on the light rail and public bus systems.

Most pressing is improving safety for folks that are using public transportation. It seems that we hear about an assault, robbery or worse taking place on a light-rail train or bus every week. The reality is that Minnesotans from across the state use the light rail and public buses to commute to work, attend sporting events and concerts or travel to the airport. They deserve to feel safe when using public transportation.

As always, I encourage you to reach out to me to share your thoughts, concerns and ideas. I can be reached by phone at 651-296-2907 or via email at rep.linda.runbeck@house.mn.

ebruary is a month for love — celebrated through Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday. On Feb. 14, you might hear this invitation: “Let’s go out to dinner tonight and indulge in a box of chocolates.”

On Feb. 26, you might hear this invitation: “Let’s go to a Christian church tonight and receive a Pastor mark of ashes our forehead Ponderings on with these words, ‘Remember that Anita Beste you are dust.’”

I believe both of these observances celebrate love.

Naming that we are dust and to dust we shall return may not sound very lovely to you. But Ash Wednesday helps us name what we sometimes feel in our gut —

and in our heart. And a faith community at its best is a safe place to claim and confess all our inadequacies and fragility and still know that we are loved — by each other and by God. So we come to receive the crossshaped ash on our foreheads and hear the pastor say, “Remember you are dust.” And in those words we also hear “I love you.”

In the forgiveness of sins – “I love you.” In, with and under the bread and the wine – “I love you.”

Being shaped together as the body of Christ – “I love you.” In the somber silence or a musical moment – hear the whisper of God saying to you “I love you.”

The Bible readings for Ash Wednesday have heart in them.

Return to me with all your heart, says the Lord.

Rend your hearts and not your clothing.

Create in me a clean heart, O God.

COMMUNITY BRIEF Area author to visit Centennial Library

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken and contrite heart.

We’re invited to direct our hearts in ways we want them to go. We can pray “change my heart O God” – and there is power there — from beyond ourselves.

This season of Lent — from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday — we open ourselves to a time of turning and returning to God. And in the process, we discover our very hearts are being shaped by God. You may or may not have a date for Valentine’s Day. But you don’t need a date for Ash Wednesday.

Just look for a church with an Ash Wednesday service on Feb. 26, and show up — with your heart and soul.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Benefits of working with familyowned provider The article, “City seeks solutions to rare garbage issue” in the Jan. 21 issue of the Quad Community Press implies that the ice storm on Dec. 28 affected all haulers and therefore all residents throughout the metro area.

I’d like to quickly clarify that the weather didn’t affect service to any Walters Recycling and Refuse customers in all 24 of the metro area cities that we serve including the residents in the city of Blaine. We deployed our fleet but rapidly heard that the road conditions were horrible. Safety for our customers and employees is critical in our business so, we instructed all drivers to return to base if they were close or to pull over safely if they were a distance away and await further instruction.

We monitored weather channels and DOT updates closely with the understanding that temps were supposed to rise and melt the ice around mid-morning. Throughout the entire day we communicated our plan, provided updates, and notified our clients of the progress we were making on our website and through social media.

Finally, we were able to communicate that all routes were completed safely.

If we were the service provider for the Circle Pines and we indeed had to halt service for the day, I can assure you we would have notified the residents and would never have waited an entire week to pick up that missed day. Residents and city officials affected would have been communicated with directly and through our website and social media, with customer service reps available, and with text or email messages. Nothing less would have been acceptable.

This is one of many examples of the benefits of working with a family-owned, locally based service provider instead of a national company that makes decisions from afar and often doesn’t coordinate internally and communicate thoroughly. After 28 years and with a contract expiring, now is the ideal time for the city to explore the market and Walters Recycling and Refuse would be thrilled to be included in those discussions.

SPEED SKATER: Lino Lakes teen full speed ahead FROM PAGE 1

19, and No. 2 for Junior B’s.

A freshman at Concordia Academy in Roseville, she was playing for the paired Roseville Area/Concordia Academy varsity hockey this year but left the team after 11 games, due to speed skating. She notched one goal and five assists.

Myers’ path to Team USA included the AmCup1 in Milwaukee, Oct. 25-27; the Can/Am International in Calgary, Alberta, Nov. 8-10; the AmCup 2 in Roseville; and AmCup 3/National Championships over the holidays in Salt Lake City.

She did well at each stop, including winning her age group at Roseville — her home track — and placing third in Salt Lake City to earn her national team slot.

Her performances “opened up a whole new set of doors for me and my skating career,” she said, which led to a “really, really hard decision” for her and her hockey coaches, who were “very supportive” of her decision, she said.

“I think that just focusing on speed skating now gives me a big advantage because I am able to put 110% into my training, which has already helped drop

my times down drastically,” she said.

Craig Rosenthal, her hockey coach, said, “Greta is a great kid and teammate. We definitely could’ve used her speed on the ice, it’s a skill set you cannot teach.” He added that he and the Raider hockey program “wishs her all the best with her speed skating.”

Myers is a member of Midway Speedskating Club in Roseville, headquartered at the John Rose Oval.

She was originally spotted by a coach from the club while playing hockey three and a half years ago.

“He took notice of my speed and stride. He talked to my dad and I after my practice, and encouraged me to try the sport,” she said. “We knew that it would also help improve my hockey, because skating (ability) is number one.”

She accepted an invitation to attend a short track practice and got hooked.

“I ended up loving it, and decided to skate long track that winter as well, which I have been doing ever since.”

When asked about her highlights so far, she listed: achieving the American Cup qualifier time in the 500 meters soon after she started; hitting Junior National records for her 100 meter opener; and placing third at nationals to earn her trip to the Junior Worlds.

US SPEEDSKATING| SUBMITTED

The USA’s Junior speed skating team. Greta Myers of Lino Lakes is second from left in the front.

Myers races all the distances. Her personal bests are 41.96 seconds in the 500 meters (which beats the standard to qualify for Olympic team trials); 1:24 in the 1,000 meters (just .11 over the qualifier); 2:10.52 in the 1,500 meters (just .52 over the qualifier); and 4:349.88 In the 3,000 meters.

Myers is the daughter of Joe and Sheila and has two sisters who play hockey. She has also attended Mounds Park Academy in St. Paul, Hand in Hand Montessori in Roseville and

Gentry School in Vadnais Heights.

Her other sport is track for Concordia Academy, running the 1600 and 3200.

She said she hopes to resume high school hockey but knows her speed skating goals will “really make it difficult.” So, for now and the foreseeable future, it’s full speed ahead for Greta Myers.

Myers has a GoFundMe page set up to help with the financial burden of speed skating.

ANNA MARAVELAS: Works to restore trust and resolve conflict

No fun like snow fun

FROM PAGE 1

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

Circle Pines author Anna Maravelas has now written two books. Her newest book was released earlier this month.

thousands of leaders, employees and human resources professionals how to preempt and resolve escalated conflict and mistrust. These strategies reverse workplace tension and disengagement — efficiently, painlessly and permanently.

“Malice rarely drives conflict.

More often, lack of skill and insight allows disagreements to become destructive,” Maravelas explained. “In our training and projects, we illuminate the common mistakes and far-reaching consequences that underlie destructive disagreement, while providing a proven process for a more unified future.”

Thera Rising offers customized keynote sessions, seminars, customized leadership feedback and goal setting, resolution between pairs and more.

“If there is one thing I could change and replace, it would be for people to see how damaging drama venting really is,” Maravelas explained. In drama venting, the disagreement is attributed to one's personality.

Instead of talking to one another, Jack and Jill go behind each other's back and talk to other employees about the situation, thus creating factions/groups.

In all her years dealing with conflict resolution, Maravelas said she enjoys “watching the light bulb come on.

“Everyone comes to these workshops thinking ‘I hope Jack really gets something out of this,’ and then seeing them realize that they have done everything I've talked about,” she said.

Thera Rising has helped clients all over Minnesota, the nation and even internationally. The company also offers a ‘train the trainer’ session to teach people how to teach these concepts themselves to their own companies. Thera Rising now has trainers in the U.S., England, Finland and South Africa. Maravelas said she is hopeful her new book will help her reach new audiences in other countries.

Andy Dahl, who happens to be Maravelas' neighbor, says living next to her has given him countless opportunities to talk about simple solutions to derailing conflict in the workplace before

Siblings River and Oliver walk with their mother Tabitha Faulkner, of Blaine, on the trails at Wargo Nature Center during the Snow Day event Jan. 25.

“Creating a Drama-Free Workplace: The Insider’s Guide to Managing Conflict, Incivility & Mistrust” was written by Circle Pines resident Anna Maravelas.

it becomes a big problem.

“One lesson in particular is the one about ‘blame self, blame others.’ So many of us get caught in that vicious cycle of blaming others, then blaming self, then blaming others, etc,” Dahl said. “Instead, Anna teaches us to move onto self-reflection, and reflect on why we feel the way we feel and what might be causing the person in conflict to feel the way they feel. This puts those hard feelings in check, and quickly.”

Another concept Dahl has learned from Maravelas is negative bias of the brain. “If we can understand that our brain is biased toward negative thoughts, then maybe recognizing that we’re having negative thoughts will come sooner and moving on in a more positive direction can happen more quickly. Knowing this about ourselves is empowering, and we instantly become more aware,” he said.

Maravelas already has her next book in the works, which will broaden her focus from the workplace to the principles of drama-free life. For more information about Thera Rising, Maravelas or her company, visit thera-rising.com.
