New club promotes healthier lifestyle

Poppy purpose In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

future of veterans, active-duty military personnel and their families with medical and financial needs.

Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is known for its Buddy Poppy program. Before Memorial Day in 1922, the VFW conducted its first poppy distribution. Shortly thereafter, the poppy was adopted as the official memorial flower of the U.S. VFW. During its 1923 encampment, Buddy Poppies were assembled by disabled and needy veterans

As temperatures continue to rise and COVID-19 restrictions continue to loosen, people are itching to spend time outdoors and socialize with others.

Just in time for summer, the Chain of Lakes Rotary will launch the Centennial Walking Club.

Retired state Rep. Linda Runbeck came up with the idea for a walking club after she read about Anoka County Public Health offering Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) mini grants in the Quad Community Press.

“I know about SHIP grants, and it seemed to me that this would fit right in,” Runbeck said.

She was inspired from seeing an avid walker out and about in the Quad community, even in the heart of winter. “I thought that was so cool, I’d love to do that.”

Runbeck reached out to Rotary President-elect Brian Bourassa, who was eager to partner. “I thought that was an awesome idea,” he said. “We are all community-forward thinking, and what is good for the community is health and wellness, and creating places where people can gather that are safe to build a stronger community just really rang true with our Rotary mission and the things that we do.”

The Centennial Walking Club was awarded the maximum $3,000 mini grant. The funds will be used to promote the club, create a website, award prizes for members with the most steps — even to install a couple of park benches along trail corridors.

The Centennial Walking Club will target senior citizens, veterans, people battling weight issues and those who are looking to improve their physical well-being and mental health. The club will encourage individuals to establish a

What are those little red flowers?

Following World War I, then called “the Great War,” the poppy flourished in Europe.

Scientists attributed the growth to soils in France and Belgium becoming enriched with lime from the rubble left by the war.

From the dirt and mud grew a beautiful red poppy.

Following the publication of the wartime poem, “In Flanders Fields,” the red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle. The poem was written by Lt.-Col. John McCrae, a Canadian doctor, while he served on the front

lines. He died of pneumonia near the end of the war.

On Sept. 27, 1920, the poppy became the official flower of The American Legion family to memorialize the soldiers who fought and died during the war. In 1924, the distribution of poppies became a national program of The American Legion.

Led by the American Legion Auxiliary, each year members of The American Legion Family distribute poppies with a request that the person receiving the flower make a donation to support the

Lino Lakes considers water treatment plant, raising utility rates

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

LINO LAKES — Residents and business owners could see some changes coming to their utility bills as soon as 2022. It is still uncertain how much utility rates will increase, however; much depends on whether the City Council moves ahead with the construction of a water treatment plant.

Previous testing by the Environmental Protection Agency has shown that some of Lino Lakes' city

wells have manganese levels above the Minnesota Department of Health's recommended health guidelines (see "Lino Lakes seeks solutions for high manganese levels in drinking water," Quad Community Press, Jan. 14, 2020). In March of that year, the council authorized the completion of a feasibility study for a water treatment plant.

This past February, the City Council authorized Baker Tilly to complete a utility rate study to

Even if the city of Lino Lakes chooses to increase water rates to help fund a water treatment plant, the average water bill would still be lower than other surrounding communities.

Uptick in bear sightings

SUBMITTED

This bear was spotted on a trail camera south of Forest Lake last week. Lino Lakes police had only received one call regarding a bear sighting as of press deadline.

Several bear sightings have recently been reported throughout the north metro. Upon checking with area law enforcement agencies, most of the bear sightings are not reported in an official capacity to police, but rather shared on social media platforms.

people and bears can arise. To live peacefully with bears, humans play a part by being responsible for their behavior. We can prevent conflict and stay safe, at home and while exploring nature, by reducing the availability of bear attractants and preparing for bear encounters.

Report a bear sighting The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is trying to keep track of Minnesota’s black bear range, which has been expanding southward and westward. If you see a black bear outside of its primary range (shown in black on the map), please report the information online at dnr.state. mn.us/hunting/bear/bear-sightings. html. Your name and contact information will not be made public.

Living with bears in Minnesota The black bear is an iconic species usually associated with Minnesota’s north woods. While they are common throughout the forested northern and central portions of the state, they can live throughout the state, and sometimes wander into cities and towns.

Black bears are naturally cautious animals that avoid human contact for their safety, but conflicts between

Reduce bear conflicts by reducing attractants Conflicts between people and bears have increased as more people build homes and cabins and recreate in northern and central Minnesota.

Conflicts can arise when bears interact with domestic pets, tip over garbage cans, or damage bird feeders, personal property, beehives, livestock and agricultural crops.

The best way to avoid problems with bears is to not attract them in the first place. Once a bear finds a food source, it will return repeatedly.

Bears prefer natural foods and are especially attracted to calorie-dense food sources. They have an incredible sense of smell, are opportunistic and are easily attracted to foods or food sources provided by humans (including things like dog food, birdseed and grease).

CREATED BY ADAM HENSCHELL | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

If you see a black bear outside of its primary range (pictured in black) the Department of Natural Resources is asking you to report the information online at dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/ bear/bear-sightings.

Bear attractants are things that smell, taste or look like food to bears. These include birdseed, dog food, grease on grills, garbage, fish entrails and fruit.

Taking the initiative to secure or remove attractants will help prevent bears from becoming a nuisance.

Bears can consume 12,00020,000 calories a day to prepare for hibernation. That’s the equivalent of 6-7 pounds of black oil sunflower seed or about 700-800 acorns.

Equity continues to be important topic of conversation in Centennial Schools

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

The Centennial School District has made equity and opportunity for all a priority since it developed goals and established its strategic plan in 2016.

Following a student-led walkout in March, and another student-led statewide walk-out last week, it is clear that the topic of equity is on students’ minds across the district, state and nation.

Cha Yang, a member of the Centennial CARES (Community Advocates for Racial Equity in our Schools) leadership team, addressed the school board last week as a CARES representative and also as a mother of three Hmong students in the district.

Centennial CARES was formed last June to promote equity and anti-racist efforts in the district to foster a learning environment where all students are welcome, safe and respected; encounter a diverse curriculum and staff; and have access to the resources they need to thrive. The group is not affiliated with the district.

On the eve of the Derek Chauvin verdict, Yang listed off several Black men who have been recently harmed or killed by white people. “… All black men who have been harmed or died by white supremacy have been heavy in the minds of many of us, but especially our

black students and families. It's hard for our students to put it at the door and focus on academics when their safety is in constant question, which as we know, comes second in Maslow's hierarchy of needs,” she said.

“The efforts to bring equity alliance to connect with our students and auditing programs set forth by the district is a step in ensuring that their safety is being met, but we do wonder how are schools, teachers and staff continuously holding healing spaces for students of color and students who are traumatized during these community issues.”

Yang asked the school board several questions, including: “What sustainable and proactive approaches are we taking to protect our most vulnerable?”

“How is the district prioritizing the need to equip schools to manage the emotional trauma our students are coming to school with?”

“What continual efforts have been made to explore your white identity and the privileges that comes along with it that have created racial blind spots?”

“Diversity equity and inclusion work requires hard work that forces us to sit in discomfort and stretches our mind to be open. We cannot be doing things the way we have been doing them.

It hasn't worked for all students. They are telling us it is not working … When students don't feel safe, they don't feel a

sense of belonging. Without feeling like they belong, they cannot reach their full potential like we always say we want them to achieve,” she explained.

“Schools can be transformative spaces for youth, but our adults and leaders have to model inclusion and reflection authentically. We are hopeful Centennial will carry out its equity action plan and supportive ways, making sure our youth see and feel the changes both at school and within their community.”

Superintendent Brian Dietz explained that the district has formed a parent equity committee to solicit input and feedback regarding inequities and efforts to addressed identified inequities. The group will meet regularly to discuss data, share stories and monitor equity progress in the district. The group last met a few weeks ago and will meet again in May. A couple of initiatives the district currently has underway include a K-12 curriculum that allows all students to see positive representations of themselves and others in what they see, read and hear.

Beginning in May, principals from each building will present a three- to five-minute vignette for students to think about each week. The vignettes will revolve around topics such as belonging, kindness, respect and dignity. Teachers will then have further

Daffodil is a 2 1/2-year-old, 50-pound yellow Lab mix. Her nickname is "Daffy.”

She had a bit of a rough start to life but is coming out of her shell with the help of her loving foster family and two confident dog friends. Daffodil is an incredibly sweet and affectionate young lady. She has a lot of energy and loves to run and play but she is also a good lounger and likes to get comfortable on the couch with

her people. She plays very well with other dogs, so it would be best for her to go to a home with another dog companion.

Daffodil has done well with her foster's resident cats, but she’s not been around children. A family with older and respectful

children might be the best fit for Daffodil. She would thrive in a home with a patient person/ people who have plenty of time to work with her and play with her.

She would also do well in a home with a fenced backyard to provide her safety and a place where she can

run and burn energy.

Springtime re-emergence

F

ollowing the turmoil and uncertainty of the past year, the unfolding of events over the past month has brought a sense of relief. Because of a somewhat superstitious nature and having seen far too many premature celebrations gone wrong, relief is about all I can muster at this point.

Perhaps I’ll feel more celebratory after receiving my final vaccination shot.

I suspect most of us, to some degree, have had our creativity, resilience and even sanity tested over the last 14 months, which was when a COVID-19 case was first reported in Minnesota. Some of the first cases were reported locally.

White Bear Lake resident Dale Bartz was the fifth person in Minnesota to test positive for coronavirus. Talking to him in person about his experience — while taking photos for a Press story by Deb Neutkens — created a strong, tangible awareness that Angle of the virus was serious and not to be taken lightly. He recovered, but his View descriptions of the illness, including feeling like his lungs were filled with Paul Dols broken glass, put me on high alert.

He also conducted his own contact tracing and surmised he caught the virus during a Rotary Club trip to Vail. He recalled visiting a packed bar in late February filled with people from all over the country and the world. The guitar player entertaining the crowd that evening tested positive for COVID-19 and was hospitalized on March 10. He died on March 21. The international travelers in attendance that evening could have possibly brought the virus into this country or home with them.

As we begin to hear more good news concerning the ongoing pandemic, I wonder if we will be able to take some of the positive lessons we have learned over the past year and integrate them into our daily lives.

Some of these lessons are more tangible, like changes in habits, the importance of family and the simple joys of outside activities, including the almost primal comfort of social gatherings around fires. Others are a little more abstract, like exercising empathy, creativity and flexibility.

A recent article on the AARP website titled, “Lessons the Coronavirus Pandemic Has Taught Us” pointed out that we are emerging from not just “one deep crisis but three: a pandemic, an economic meltdown and one of the most fraught political transitions in our history.

Interwoven in all three have been challenging issues of racial disparity and fairness.” This combination of factors created a high pressure situation that we can learn from and draw on to potentially improve our lives moving forward. Several examples are listed in the article including the importance of family, the unleashing of a revolution in medicine, accelerated digital adaptation and the ability to work effectively from home. The pandemic has magnified how important long term relationships, self care and intergenerational family connections are to our health and well being. It also showed that “the scientific community working together can do some pretty amazing things.” The new mRNA vaccines were produced in record time and may have fundamentally changed the way drugs are developed. With the help of technology like internet connectivity and video conferencing, workers who were forced to work from home out of necessity have discovered they can be just as productive as in the office.

These transformative developments could have positive impact far into the future.

Since the first tense days of the pandemic, when there were still many unknowns, I began starting each day with a deep breath. This simple physical act, followed by a sense of gratitude, has gone a long way as one of the positive, first steps moving toward a new and hopefully improved version of reality.

Traffic safety – we can do better

s Public Safety Director for the city of Lino Lakes one of the most common complaints from community members is related to traffic and safety on our roadways.

Throughout our state communities struggle with safety on our roadways and data is trending in the wrong direction.

During 2020 in Minnesota we experienced an increase in the number of traffic in 2019 Movers & fatalities; we lost 364 people and in 2020 we Shakers lost 395 people John Swenson on Minnesota roadways. This increase of 31

traffic fatalities is very troubling given the fact that traffic on Minnesota roadways was significantly reduced for much of 2020 due to COVID-19.

Unfortunately so far in 2021 we have not experienced a decrease in traffic fatalities to date, as of May 5, 107 people have died in comparison to 89 people in 2020.

Year after year, the top four contributing factors in Minnesota traffic fatalities continue to be impaired driving, speed, unbuckled motorists and distracted driving. The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is committed to partnering with the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety and other public safety agencies in our pursuit of reducing and eliminating traffic fatalities in Minnesota through the Towards Zero Death (TZD) initiative and addressing these

contributing factors, but we need your help.

We are asking for everyone’s help in making our roadways safer by: Do not drive impaired – when you make plans to go out be sure to make a plan to get home safely.

Slow Down – public safety agencies across the state have seen a marked increase in the speed of vehicle on our roadways.

Buckle Up – drivers and passengers in vehicles wearing their seatbelts reduce their risk of death by 45% and serious injury by 50% when involved in a traffic crash.

Pay attention to your driving!

Together we can make our roadways safer!

Kids Cooking School closes again The Kids Cooking School, which recently rebranded to the Kids Creative School, has shut its doors for good again. Press Publications ran an article, “Kids Cooking School now equipped for food, arts and crafts classes” March 30.

The school, which was located at 307 Village Parkway in Circle Pines, was in the process of adding an art studio and outdoor classroom and was just gearing up for its popular summer camps.

The Kids Creative School was leasing space. Last week,

owner Tiffany Cavegn announced on social media that “our lovely school did not survive the pandemic … Our hearts are heavy, but we are happy to provide full refunds.”

This is not the first time the business has closed its doors.

The Kids Cooking School closed back in September 2018. It then found a temporary home at Oak Hill Montessori School in Shoreview in 2019.

Two weeks before the March 2020 pandemic shutdown, Cavegn signed a lease for the school’s new (and current location) in Circle Pines.

Age 92, of Circle Pines, passed away April 19,2021.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Lino Lakes Public Safety Department recognized for policy training

Pontoons on Bald Eagle hosts ribbon cutting, grand opening

SUBMITTED

The White Bear Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate Pontoons on Bald Eagle’s grand opening weekend. Pontoons on Bald Eagle is located at 4444 129th St. N, Hugo. Ben and Katy Robinson purchased the business from previous owner Marty Weber, after 20 years of operation.

The business was previously known as Bald Eagle Boat Rental, Bobber’s and Lakeview Inn. In addition to new Bennington pontoons, customers can also rent kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department has been recognized by the Lexipol Connect program for achieving Gold level for consistently and effectively disseminating policies to officers, issuing timely policy updates as laws change, and ensuring officers are trained on policies. The Gold program showcases agencies that strive for excellence in policy and policy training.

Gordon Simmons Huse II Age 60, a 36-year resident of Orange County, California, originally from Lexington, Minnesota, passed away on April 14, 2021. A good-hearted, free-spirited, determined individual, he did things his own way and packed a lot of living into his life that ended too soon.

As a mischievous youth, he lived life on the edge early. For a thrill, he hopped on the back of a garbage truck like the garbage men. When he fell off the truck as it backed up and had both of his legs crushed, his doctors were not sure if he would ever walk the same again. Instead, he was soon racing motorcycles and pushing his limits further. He went on to become an Expert Class motocross racer in Minnesota in the late 1970’s before briefly racing professionally.

Later, after moving to California in the early 1980’s, he took up competitive marathon running and mountain biking.

Slowed by narcolepsy that took hold in his 30’s, he worked extra hard while medicated daily with stimulants to apply his focus and determination toward becoming the best gardener and groundskeeper on his crews over a career that spanned 30 years at Knott’s Berry Farm amusement park and California State University Fullerton.

Never proud of his lack of attention to school early in life, he consumed horticulture textbooks and journals voraciously as an adult and knew minute details, including the Latin genus and species names, of the plants he worked with daily. He could rebuild a flower garden like he had previously rebuilt his motocross bike, with meticulous attention to detail and pride in a job well done.

Back injuries in his 40’s slowed him further, and while recovering after a back surgery in his mid50’s, a rare lung condition set in and robbed him of his ability to breathe. In 2019, he received the gift of life with a miracle double lung transplant from an accomplished young man who died tragically but generously donated his organs. Sadly, after a life of overcoming challenges, Gordy was never able to climb the physical and psychological mountains of this major transplant. He died peacefully at home under the care of his mother with his beloved dogs nearby.

He is preceded in death by his father, Gordon W. Huse, and survived by his loving mother, Janet L. Huse (Dahler), five siblings: Kim Meline (Joel), Cathy Huse, William D. Huse (Lola), Daniel Huse (Mary) and Jonathan Huse (Shayna), his two dogs Miley and Teddy, and Kristian and Adrian Diaz, whom he loved as his own children and to whom he was a father figure.

A private funeral and burial will be held at Morningside Memorial Gardens in Coon Rapids.

UTILITY RATES: Lino Lakes City Council dives into rate study FROM PAGE 1

examine the water operating fund, sewer operating fund and the area and unit charge funds. The consultant was asked to recommend rates to cover operations, maintenance, debt service and capital improvements, for two scenarios: with or without a new water treatment plant.

Patty Kettles, director at Baker Tilly, presented the study’s findings at a council work session last week.

The city of Lino Lakes provides approximately 5,050 residential, commercial, industrial and institutional customers with water and sewer services. Currently, the city obtains its water supply from six city wells and stores water in three elevated water towers.

“A review of the city’s most recent financial reports for the water fund shows operating expenses exceeded operating revenues in each year, 2018 through budgeted 2021,” Kettles explained.

According to the study, the water fund ending cash and investment balance, which was approximately $6 million in 2018, is projected to decrease to approximately $5.6 million at the end of 2021.

“As was the case in the water fund, the sewer fund also shows (that) operating expenses exceeded operating revenues in each year, 2018 through budgeted 2021,” Kettles said.

Per the city’s capital improvement plan, approximately $10.1 to $31.1 million will be needed to develop, replace and purchase items related to the water utility and approximately $10.3 million for the sewer utility in the next 10 years. A big variable is whether the council decides to move

forward with the water treatment plant, which is estimated to cost $21 million in 2023.

Kettles estimated that approximately $1 million would be needed each year to keep up on infrastructure renewal and replacement. If the city does not pursue rate increases at this time, the study’s projection shows the water fund would have a cash position of approximately $1.4 million, down from $5.8 million, in 2031, and the recommended reserve levels for the fund would not be met. If the city does not increase utility rates, operating losses will grow and the cash position declines from approximately $9.6 million in 2021 to $6 million in 2031.

The study provides recommendations for water rates with and without a new treatment plant, as well as sewer rates. If a water treatment plant is constructed, Baker Tilly recommends the city approve a 4% annual increase in volume charges and also increase the $10/ REU (residential equivalent unit) fee by $5 annually from 2023-2025.

If the council decides to not pursue a water treatment plant, the recommendation is that the city approve a 2.5% annual increase in volume charges and maintain the $10/REU fee. A 2.5% annual increase in volume charges was recommended for sewer.

As an example, if the city were to go through with the proposed rate increases assuming a new water treatment plant is constructed, Centennial School District’s water bill would increase from $626.05 per quarter (in 2021) up to $1,450.67 in 2025. The sewer bill would increase from $3,213.24 to $3,546.82. A single-

family home could see its water bill go from $99.40 per quarter in 2021 up to $129.59 in 2025 and its sewer bill increase from $56.77 to $62.66.

Without a water treatment plant, the school district’s water bill would increase from $626.05 per quarter (in 2021) to $634.98 in 2025. A singlefamily home would see an increase in its water bill from $99.40 per quarter in 2021 up to $108.68. Sewer rates would remain the same as described in the previous paragraph.

The council was set to accept the study at its May 10 meeting (after press deadline). It’s important to note that the council has not yet taken any action to change the water and or sewer rates or move ahead with the water treatment plant. The fee schedule, which includes utility rates, won’t be adopted until November.

WALLEYE A prize fish for Minnesota anglers, these fish aren’t as abundant in the Twin Cities as they used to be.

The biggest walleye weigh more than 10 pounds.

How to catch: Jigs and live bait fished on bottom.

Evening/dusk/dawn hours are best.

How to eat: Always great fried on a sandwich, but its fine flavor also works well for pan-searing in cream sauce, tossing in a parmesan crust or marinating with lime for fish tacos.

NORTHERN PIKE Shaped like a torpedo with a mouth full of sharp teeth, the northern pike is one of the most iconic fish of Minnesota waters. They range from 18-30 inches in length, and tend to prefer vegetated areas of lakes and slow-moving rivers.

How to catch: Spoons, plugs, minnows and suckers.

How to eat: Pickled pike is a Scandinavian classic in Minnesota. All you need is some vinegar, onions, lemon juice and spice, brined overnight, for a tasty snack on crackers.

MUSKELLUNGE The giant of Minnesota lakes, muskies lurk in clear lakes and rivers and defend their territories aggressively. The name comes from the Ojibwe word “mashkinonge” meaning “big pike.”

How to catch: 10-12 lb. line, fast retrieve of heavy, active plugs or spoons.

How to eat: Many like to pan-roast muskie with spices, or fry into fish cakes. Many catch and release these trophies so another angler can enjoy pulling it in again.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

SMALLMOUTH BASS Dark vertical stripes, as well as the shorter mouth, distinguish this fish from the largemouth bass.

These fish can grow up to 15 inches and weigh up to 4 pounds.

How to catch: Slow to fast retrieve of plastic worms, minnows, plugs, spoons, spinners along rocks, logs and undercuts.

How to eat: Roasted or pan-fried with spices and summer vegetables.

BLUEGILL These panfish are recognizable by the dark mark next to their gill and the black barred vertical striping along the length of their body. They range in length from 3-5 inches and can weigh up to one pound.

How to catch: June is the best month for catching bluegill; still fishing or slow retrieval of worms, small jigs, flies.

How to eat: Bluegills are very easy to fillet and can be cooked in a number of ways.

CRAPPIE There are two crappie species in Minnesota—black crappie and white crappie. Both are silvery-white in color, but the black crappie is usually heavily speckled with dark spots, while the white crappie has light black vertical stripes. Black crappies tend to prefer clear lakes, while white crappies can be found in rivers and backwaters.

How to catch: Still fishing or deep, slow retrieve of minnows, worms, plugs, spoons, jigs.

How to eat: Coat in cracker crumbs or corn meal and pan fry.

BULLHEAD SPECIES Several bullhead species are found in the Northeast Metro, but all are recognizable by the whiskers, or barbels, below their chin. They have no scales and are very slippery. They have a spine in their dorsal and pectoral fins that can deliver a mild toxin that can cause a stinging or burning sensation, but it is harmless to humans.

How to catch: Still fishing with worms or small fish close to the bottom.

How to cook: Fry and put on crusty rolls with tomato, lettuce, pickles and hot sauce for a catfish po’ boy.

LARGEMOUTH BASS One of the most fun angling fish in local lakes.

Largemouth bass can grow up to 13 inches long, and weigh more than 3 pounds. These fish are known for aggressively taking bait. They can be distinguished from smallmouth bass by the placement of the hinge of their mouth, which extends past their eye.

How to catch: Slow retrieve of worms, frogs, minnows, plugs, spoons in vegetation beds.

How to eat: Grilled or pan-friend with lemon and garlic.

YELLOW PERCH Common in the shallows around docks, perch are pale yellow or orange in color, with dark vertical stripes along the length of their body. These fish can reach 8-10 inches in length.

How to catch: Jigs, flies, live bait in open water during the day or vegetation beds at night.

How to eat: Coat in butter, herbs, cracker crumbs and bake, or pan-fry with potatoes for oldfashioned fish and chips.

Compiled using information from the Minnesota DNR

IF YOU CATCH A FISH THAT YOU THINK COULD BE A RECORD, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

• • •

Weigh the fish on a state-certified scale (found at most bait shops and butcher shops), witnessed by two observers.

Take the fish to a DNR fisheries office for positive identification and a state record fish application.

Complete the State Record Fish submission form PDF and send it along with a clear, full-length photo of your fish to the address listed on the form.

Don’t rock the boat: Keep peace on the water with safe behavior

BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

As many Minnesotans take to the lakes this summer, practicing boat safety and etiquette can make your time on the lake less likely to cause unpleasant waves with other boaters on the water.

According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), there are unspoken rules to follow for good boating etiquette. It starts at the boat launch or dock before your boat goes in the water.

“Last year was a busy year on the waterways across the state, and it’s anticipated to be a busy boating season again,” DNR Recreation Safety Outreach Coordinator Lisa Dugan said. Launch etiquette means “having patience at the ramps and making sure that you have everything ready before you launch your boat so you have the smooth transition,” she noted.

While out on the water, own your wake. A sure way to cause a problem with another boater is to cast a big, intrusive wave at another boat, swimmer, angler or shoreline owner. This could be dangerous to people who are unable to handle a large wake. Boaters should stay at least 200 feet from the shoreline and other boaters, according to the DNR. “Every boat creates a wake.

Make sure you check your wake if you’re going by smaller fishing boats or paddlers,” Dugan said. “We’ve had paddlers get severely injured because boaters fly past them and the wake overturns their boats.”

Boaters should be familiar with water markers and navigation rules of the body of water to prevent a collision. They should also be aware if the lake they are on has a speed limit or slow no-wake zone restriction. It’s the boater’s responsibility to respect the rules and follow them. Boaters should always remember they are accountable for any damage they cause to other people’s property, according to the DNR. Since music and sound is amplified over water, boaters should keep the volume at an appropriate level. This can be disturbing for some people and could also make it hard for the driver to hear a spotter when someone is water skiing, tubing or kneeboarding.

While you’re in the boat, keep the garbage out of the water. Have a garbage can on board or a plain garbage bag.

Disposing of trash properly keeps the water clean and off the shorelines.

Dugan said boaters need to remember that if they have children in the boat, they are learning boating behavior from you. When you lead by example, children tend to follow your lead.

Boating etiquette is also about safe behavior while out on the water. In 2020, there were 16 boating fatalities in Minnesota compared to 10 in 2019. The 2019 figure, according to Dugan, was a record low.

“Thirteen of the 16 fatalities in 2020 were not known to be wearing a life jacket, and 15 of the 16 fatalities in 2020 were men,” Dugan said.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

While out on the water this summer, be safe by practicing proper boating etiquette.

There has been one boating fatality in the state thus far in 2021. According to the DNR, 30% of boating fatalities in Minnesota occur in cold water.

“The ice went out early on many lakes across Minnesota this year, but the water hasn’t warmed as quickly as you might expect,” Dugan said.

“Water temperatures don’t adhere to a date on the calendar. While we’ve had open water for weeks now, the water remains dangerously cold and an expected fall into it could be deadly. Vigilance is key anytime you’re around the water, but especially when it’s cold.”

While temperatures continue to rise, water temperatures across the state generally are around 50 degrees, which is cold enough to cause a gasp reflex and incapacitate even the strongest swimmers in less than one minute.

Dugan noted that a Minnesota operators permit (boat license) is required for youth ages 12-17 to operate a motorized boat over 25 horsepower.

They may operate a motorized boat of 25-75 horsepower without an operator’s permit as long as there is someone at least 21 years old on board with them.

BOATING ETIQUETTE Before the first launch of the season, anglers are reminded to inspect their watercraft and gear; enlist a mechanic to check exhaust systems for potential carbon monoxide leaks; and verify motorboats are equipped with the following: • U.S. Coast Guard-approved wearable life jackets for each person on board (children under 10 must wear a properly fitting life jacket while underway).

• A throwable flotation device on boats 16 feet or longer.

• A horn or a whistle.

• Type B, U.S. Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher.

• Navigation lights in working order.

• Valid boat registration, with numbers visible.

Safety tips for boaters as they prepare to enjoy a day on the water: • Leave the alcoholic beverages on the shore. Drunk boating is the same as drunk driving.

• Wear a life jacket. It’s the best way to stay safe on the water.

• Enjoy the view and put away the phone. Just as distracted driving is a concern on our roads, distracted boating can lead to accidents and fatalities on our waters.

• Take a boating safety course. A vast majority of boating accidents occur on boats where the operator has not taken a boating safety class.

From the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources For youth interested in obtaining an operator’s permit, the DNR offers an online boating safety course that takes approximately 8-10 hours to complete.

“The course walks you through the navigation requirements and state requirements. The online course has

improved quite a bit by being more interactive. If you get a wrong answer, it reinforces what the correct answer is, and that question will come back in the test,” Dugan said.

“There are more videos and it’s not text-heavy. You’re learning the skills you need to learn.”

regular walking routine while they strengthen social networks.

“There are so many health benefits to walking, and if this can be a way to encourage people to include walking as just one of the basic health things that they do in their daily lives, that will be an enormous benefit,” Runbeck said.

According to the Mayo Clinic, regular walking can help maintain a healthy weight; prevent/ manage various conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes; strengthen bones and muscles; and improve mood, balance and coordination.

The Centennial Walking Club is seeking around 10 walk leaders who will volunteer to commit to a walk at a certain time and place in one of the four communities.

“It will be an opportunity to meet people who really enjoy being outside, who have that commitment to health, who want that opportunity to meet some new people,” Runbeck explained.

Although the grant funding only goes through September, the hope is that the club will stay around much longer than that. Bourassa said he is hoping some dedicated members will stick it out through the winter to cross-country ski or snowshoe.

In addition to Rotary, several area churches, American Legion Post 566 and the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce are all partners on the initiative.

CITY BRIEF

Police Chief recaps 2020

Spring cleaning is in the air

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

The Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) has remained busy through the pandemic. Although some types of crimes have dramatically increased, other crimes have significantly decreased.

James Mork became chief about halfway through 2020, and he is currently making his rounds to the three city councils in CLPD’s jurisdiction to present the department’s annual report. First up was Circle Pines, then Centerville, followed by Lexington.

“2020 was a very challenging year. A global pandemic, racial tensions, civil unrest, combined with widespread unemployment made last year destined by many for the dustbin of history,” Mork said. “What is important to know is how well the officers and staff of the CLPD stepped up and met the challenges of this unprecedented time, leaving each call better than they found it, and partnering with the community wherever and whenever possible.”

In 2020, CLPD responded to 205 Class I crimes, compared to 162 in 2019. Class I crimes include: homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny/theft, motor vehicle theft and arson.

CLPD saw a total of 347 Class II crimes, significantly lower than the 504 logged in 2019. Class II crimes include: forgery/ counterfeit, fraud, embezzlement, stolen property, vandalism, weapons, prostitution, sex offenses, narcotics, gambling, family/ children, DUI, liquor laws, disorderly conduct and more.

CLPD issued 963 citations/warnings in 2020, compared to 990 in 2019. In 2020 most citations/warnings were issued in Lexington (390) followed by Centerville (305) and Circle Pines (253). Mayor Dave Bartholomay said it would be nice to see the statistics broken down even further to show how many citations vs. warnings were issued. “We have always encouraged more warnings … It’s all about those teachable moments.”

Arrest numbers were significantly lower in 2020 when compared to 2019. CLPD arrested 210 people in 2020 compared to 348 the year prior. For 2020, most arrests happened in Lexington (74), followed by Centerville (70) and Circle Pines (63).

Not surprisingly, accidents are down because there were fewer vehicles on the road, Mork said. CLPD received 108 accident reports in 2020 compared to 157 in 2019.

For 2020, most accidents occurred in Circle Pines (43), followed by Lexington (39) and Centerville (17).

Traffic reports (tickets, accidents, motorist assists) are also down. There were 2,905 traffic reports in 2020 compared to 3,576 in 2019. For 2020, most of the traffic reports came from Centerville (1,023) followed by Lexington (967) and Circle Pines (858).

DAVE BARTHOLOMAY | SUBMITTED

SUBMITTED

Although Class I crimes were up in 2020, Class II crimes were down when compared to 2019.

Miscellaneous activity reports were up slightly from 2019. Miscellaneous activity includes things that don’t fit into other categories, such as noise complaints, juvenile violations and neighbor disputes.

CLPD had a total of 9,389 miscellaneous activity reports in 2020 compared to 8,121 in 2019. Circle Pines saw the most miscellaneous reports (3,611) followed by Lexington (2,854) and Centerville (2,419).

Following Mork’s presentation, Council Member Dean Goldberg said, “Centerville and Lexington seem to be more rowdy than Circle Pines.” City Administrator Patrick Antonen said that might have to do with the fact that Circle Pines has fewer commercial businesses and no bars.

Council Member Steve McChesney said he had heard a lot about motor vehicle thefts and carjackings lately and wanted to know if the local area was seeing that. Mork said most motor vehicle thefts in the area are “crimes of opportunity,” meaning someone leaves their car running in their driveway or at a gas station.

Antonen asked about theft of catalytic converters. Mork said incidents of those thefts have dramatically increased metrowide; however, they are only seeing that “occasionally” in the three cities.

Mork said the department is looking forward to ramping back up its community engagement and hoping to attend community events like Night to Unite in 2021.

Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Circle Pines residents showed up in full force for the spring recycling day.

Two hundred and fifty vehicles showed up to participate. That number is just down slightly from the average of 269 vehicles for the spring event.

The next citywide cleanup day will be Saturday, Aug. 28, at the public works building.

Number of ‘Tree City USA’ cities keeps growing Minnesota is home to 111 Tree City USA communities this year, the most in a century, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Cities and towns achieve Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: they maintain a tree board or department; have a community tree ordinance; spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry; and celebrate Arbor Day (April 30).

“Trees and green spaces can be common ground for all Minnesotans in all communities,” said Emma Schultz, DNR community forest project specialist. “The Tree City program sets a standard for communities to strive for.”

Some of the North Metro cities on the list include: Blaine, Lino Lakes, Mahtomedi, Maplewood, White Bear Lake and Wyoming.

This is the 30th year the city of Lino Lakes has received the award. In addition, Lino Lakes is among 13 communities to receive a Tree City USA Growth Award, which recognizes milestones and annual activities in five categories that together build sustainable community forestry programs in the long term.

White Bear Lake was designated as a Sterling Tree City USA Community back in 2008 after it received 10 years of Tree City Growth Awards.

Tree City USA is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the National Association of State Foresters and the U.S. Forest Service. Through education and technical assistance, the DNR helps Minnesota communities meet Tree City USA standards.

REAL ID deadline extended to 2023 The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended the REAL ID full enforcement deadline to May 3, 2023. The deadline was previously set for later this year.

“Protecting the health, safety and security of our communities is our top priority,” said DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “As our country continues to

recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the REAL ID full enforcement deadline will give states needed time to reopen their driver's licensing operations and ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card.”

Beginning May 3, 2023, Minnesotans will not be able to use their standard driver's license to board

domestic flights or enter federal facilities. Instead, they will need a REAL ID, enhanced driver's license or ID card, passport or passport card or another acceptable form of identification for federal purposes.

For more information about REAL ID, go to dps. mn.gov.
