Redistricting draws new boundaries

Remembering the fallen

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Every 10 years following the federal census, Minnesota undergoes a redistricting process that redraws congressional and state legislative district boundaries.

The purpose of redistricting is to make sure that each legislative district contains roughly the same number of people so that persons in each district are equally represented.

In Minnesota, the state Legislature is responsible for redistricting Minnesota’s Senate and House districts. Since Minnesota’s Senate and House were unable to agree on district maps, the new maps were drawn by a five-member panel of judges.

Anoka County Commissioner Jeff Reinert said his district will change from District 6 to District 3, representing the cities of Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbus, Linwood, Lino Lakes and North East Blaine.

“My entire new district is exactly the same as it is right now except for a small addition in the very northeastern part of Blaine to pick up around 2,000 additional residents,” Reinert said. “A couple of the maps that were presented removed the Lexington/ Blaine area out of my district but since that area is, and has been, part of the ‘Quad area’ for the past 70+ years, I felt it should stay in my district because it is important to keep community together.”

Wes Volkenant, Anoka County DFL chair emeritus and treasurer of the Anoka, Blaine, Coon Rapids Area Women League of Voters, said that redistricting can be confusing. He also said that redistricting can affect elected officials.

“By Minnesota law, a legislative person has to live the city they are representing,” Volkenant said.

“They do make some allowances like this year because of the redistricting, but (they) are required

Area police department should see gas savings from 2 hybrid squads Squads 221 and 222, Centennial Lakes Police Department’s (CLPD) two newest vehicles, are not your average police SUVs. They are Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrids, or Ford Explorers. According to CLPD Chief James Mork, CLPD is the second agency within the county to add hybrids to its fleet.

Although CLPD ordered the SUVs last August, it did not take possession of them until last month, thanks to supply chain issues and chip shortages.

Both squads should be fully outfitted and ready to go in the next two to four weeks, as long as there

are no delays on parts.

The conversation about hybrid vehicles began more than 10 years ago, long before Mork arrived.

“There were some battery-operated vehicles, but of course at that time, nobody had the technology, and there wasn’t anything purposefully built for law enforcement,” the chief explained.

“I’ve been hoping we could try hybrid police cars for over 10 years — but I’m glad we waited,” said Circle Pines Mayor Dave Bartholomay. “The new hybrid police cars are safer, faster and cheaper to operate, making now the right time for our police department to make the switch to hybrids.”

CLPD was interested in hybrids because although they may cost more up front, the department SEE HYBRIDS, PAGE 6

COMMUNITY BRIEF Salvation Army seeks 1,000 volunteers to reward local heroes with donuts Friday, June 3, is National Donut Day, a day that was set aside back in 1938 to celebrate the sugary confection comprised of fried dough and a variety of sweet toppings. It was also created to honor the brigade of Salvation Army “donut lassies,” who served up donuts, coffee and memories of home to soldiers near the front lines of World War I. This

year’s celebration, however, will also honor those who have diligently worked to make the community a better place.

The Twin Cities Salvation Army is seeking 1,000 volunteers to each deliver a box of donuts to an everyday hero of their choice, such as a first responder, health care worker, public servant, veteran, teacher or a kind neighbor.

The free donuts will be limited to the first 1,000

volunteers who can pick up and deliver them on June 3. Donuts will need to be picked up between 7 and 9 a.m. June 3 at one of six Twin Cities locations, which will be selected during the registration process. Registration is open at SalvationArmyNorth.org/free-donuts until May 31, or until all spots are filled.

A great place to live

T

HIS IS CLEARLY a wonderful time of year as the weather warms, trees come to life, and the early flowers start blooming.

Fishing season is open and all the water sports come alive.

Garage sales start showing up, and the garage gets cleaned. Winter coats are put away.

It’s time to take a hike, cycle a path or get that tennis racket or pickleball paddle out and get some overdue exercise. It’s all part of the enjoyment of living in the Midwest.

It’s also a time to review safety protocols, whether you are on a bike, on the water or four-wheeling through the pine forests. It’s time to review your ATV or boat registration and possibly increase coverage. need to take heed About the asMotorists well and “Start seeing motorcycles.” I see motorists Town going through stop signs Gene Johnson which can lead to unnecessary neighborhood accidents. It’s a good time for a safety review within every family for all age groups.

It’s graduation time, and also a chance to get your fingers in the soil as we begin planting flowers and vegetables. Whether it is a large garden or pots on the porch, it’s clearly a mark of a new season. People are working hard to clean up their lawns and gardens. Have you heard of “No mow May?” It’s when your yard is allowed to bloom to be pollinator friendly. This also the time of year to make home repairs and do painting.

It’s all part of having pride in a community. I love living here.

I THINK WE are faced for the next 12 months with gasoline at $4 plus per gallon. Our country has adequate oil, as well as natural gas, but getting it into the pipeline has been clogged in part due to government regulations and executive leadership. Perhaps it wouldn’t make any difference what party was in office with the polarization and politics slowing down the process of what’s good for the American people.

We are going to eventually see difficulty with our electric power grids. Some of our leadership has been too anxious to go green, thereby eliminating fossil fuels prematurely. It’s good to have national goals, but we need to be realistic in bringing them on line without putting undue pressure and excessive costs on the consumer.

Government spending on petroleum is probably the biggest cause of the inflation. Production and delivery is centered around petroleum supplies and products. Inflation will need to be controlled and with that we are likely to have some type of recession. I don’t think any of this was necessary, at least at the level we are experiencing.

The cost of living is spiking. Expectation is there for employees to receive higher wages, and rightly so. That adds to the costs of producing all that we consume. Once wages are established, they don’t go down.

We have the additional problem of labor shortages. There are far more jobs available than there are people qualified to fi ll those positions.

When you are making a purchase, thank every employee that helps you for coming to work that day. So many stores are short of staff and through it we are learning lessons of patience and priorities.

THANKS, VETERANS, FOR all your sacrifice to preserve our democracy and freedoms. Enjoy and reflect on Memorial Day. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications

B

End of the 2022 legislative session

y the time this article is published, the 2022 legislative session will be all wrapped up. A couple of days ago, legislative leaders and Gov. Tim Walz agreed to a framework aimed at helping both sides reach an agreement on what to do with the state’s record budget surplus.

But it’s only that: a framework. The various committees must still work out the details and find a compromise among themselves, which is far from a certainty.

Education is a perfect example. I’m the chair of the Senate education Legislator committee, and we have been clear all Lingo session that Roger making sure Chamberlain kids can read is our top priority.

The struggles facing our schools are not just financial.

Since 2017, Senate Republicans have approved historic funding for education, including $18.6 billionin total education funding in 2017, 2% annual student formula increases in 2019, and $1.1 billion in funding increases in 2021 – including the largest formula growth in 15 years.

In spite of this historic funding, 52% of third-graders are not reading at grade level.

That’s a complete failure, and correcting it must be our top

priority. We have a moral duty to help these kids get back on the right track and support teachers who have been shortchanged. That’s why we provided $50 million for literacy in our bill.

The other issue is special education. Schools are required to provide special education services, but they don’t receive enough federal or state funding to cover those services. The Senate is proposing to invest almost a billion dollars into special education.

I have received a lot of calls and emails from school administrators, principals, board members, and teachers.

There were a lot of concerns, but their top priority was special education funding. They also strongly supported funding for literacy.

The House, on the other hand, wants to continue spending money on the same programs that have led us to where we are now and add funding for new, unproven programs. It’s a major point of contention and if they refuse to acknowledge that we need to try something different, I’m not sure what the outcome will be.

Cutting your taxes I’m more optimistic about a good outcome on tax relief.

The state has a record budget surplus of more than $9 billion.

Republicans have pushed hard to give the surplus back to taxpayers. Our two main priorities are eliminating the double tax on Social Security income, and providing every single taxpayer relief by cutting

the bottom-tier tax rate.

As I write this, it appears as though the House will accept both. That’s a really big deal.

Inflation is spiraling out of control and economic pressures are squeezing family budgets.

It’s time to give the working folks of this state some relief.

Keeping communities safe The third area I am especially interested in is public safety.

Crime is spiraling out of control in the Twin Cities and it is spreading to the suburbs.

The Senate passed a bill that focuses on the fundamentals: putting more talented, qualified police officers on the street, holding criminals accountable for their crimes, and adding accountability and transparency for when judges and prosecutors give criminals lighter sentences.

People are rightfully concerned about rising crime, especially violent crime. Our plan will provide the resources we need to keep Minnesotans safe, hold criminals accountable, and seek justice for victims.

By the time you read this the outcome will be decided. Until then, I will continue working to achieve the best possible deal for all Minnesotans.

HYBRIDS: CLPD second agency in county to purchase

POLITICAL BRIEF Raleigh files for House District 32B

FROM PAGE 1

should see a huge cost savings when it comes to gas, especially if gas prices continue to trend upward.

“It is that whole idea of trying to be good stewards of public funds: what can we do to make each dollar stretch the furthest?” Mork asked. “I’m not only the police chief, but I am a resident of the community, so it's important to me to make sure that we are spending this tax money responsibly.”

Each squad was priced at approximately $44,000, but that doesn’t include the costs to add the striping, CLPD logo and other necessary equipment on/in the vehicle. Mork estimates that going the hybrid route probably cost $2,500 to $3,500 more per squad compared to a gas version.

In 2020, Ford first released the hybrid Explorers, which have continued to be refined to make the transition from electric to gas smoother, Mork explained.

According to Ford, the hybrid should get 24 miles per gallon, but that’s more of a figure for your average user who is picking up their child from school, commuting to work, or going to soccer practice. Mork explained that the average gasolinepowered police vehicle gets about 8 or 9 miles per gallon. A hybrid, however, should get closer to 16 miles per gallon.

“It is really double what the gas engines get,” he said. “So, if you had an entire fleet of hybrids and you have got a $50,000 annual fuel bill, you would cut it down to $25,000. That would be huge, but it takes a while to get there, too.”

Bartholomay added, “Police cars always need to be on: they idle a lot in order to keep computers and other electronic devices working while reports are written or situations are being monitored. Now the hybrids use batteries during those times instead of burning gas … This will save the department (and taxpayers) thousands of dollars per year.”

In addition to a heavy-duty alternator, brakes and cooling system, perhaps one of the biggest features is the fact that the vehicle has a 75-mph rear crash test rating. “Now that doesn't mean that if someone runs into you at 75 miles an hour, you are going feel fine, but it will help absorb that type of impact,” Mork said. “According to Ford, they are the only

State Rep. Donald Raleigh (R-Blaine) has officially filed to run for state representative in Minnesota House District 32B. House District 32B includes the cities of Blaine and Lexington, both of which are in Anoka County.

Raleigh unanimously won the Republican endorsement for the seat in the newly formed district. Raleigh is seeking a second term in the House.

Raleigh lives with his wife, Marnie, in Blaine.

They have four grown children. For more information on Raleigh’s campaign, visit www. donaldraleigh.com.

vehicle manufacturer in the world that has the 75mph crash test rating.”

The vehicles also never need to be plugged in or charged, as they charge themselves while they are in use through things like regenerative braking.

Mork said the department should be able to use both squads for a minimum of five years. In addition to the standard three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, CLPD also has an eight-year, 100,000mile warranty on the hybrid components. Once the squads start to get up there in mileage, Mork said the department will have to do more research on whether it is worth it to hang on to the squads longer, or sell them.

Will there ever be a day where all of CLPD’s squads are hybrid or fully electric? Only time will tell. “I think it all depends on what our experience is with these current cars,” Mork said. “If it really does have a tremendous savings in gas and we are not getting hit with other unexpected maintenance items, which we don't anticipate from the departments that we've spoken to … Other departments that have gone completely hybrid have been thrilled, and they have cut their (vehicle) budget in half.”

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL SNIPPETS • Work will continue on North Highway Drive between Woodland Road and Restwood Road now that the city has entered into a contract with Asphalt Surface Technologies Corp. All bids for the project have been received opened and tabulated, resulting in $54,171 of bids from Asphalt Surface Technologies Corp, $56,035 from Park Construction Company, $57,072, and $65,822 from North Valley Inc. • A salary increase for liquor store management and non-union employees as well as the city administrator and the finance director will go into effect June 1. This adjustment is based on an annual review conducted by the city.

• Child care facility, Little Rabbit’s Hole Corp., will be able to conduct business now that a new business license is approved.

The next city council meeting will be at 7 p.m.

Softball: Cougars clip Blaine 5-1 for NWSC championship

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Helene Krage returned to the mound last Tuesday, just in time to help the Centennial Cougars win the Northwest Suburban championship game.

The senior right-hander who missed a five-game week with an ankle sprain led a 5-2 win over Blaine in a conference finale between two teams tied for first place.

“My ankle was still a little tender, pitching, but it felt great to be back on the mound,” said Krage, who spun a three-hitter with seven strikeouts.

While sidelined, she wasn’t worried about the team. “I had total confidence in Riley pitching in the games I was out,” Krage said. “She has done a great job this whole year.” Freshman Riley O’Connell pitched four wins that week, three of them in conference.

The Cougars finished 12-1 in conference, repeating as champion after going 13-0 in 2021.

Blaine and Maple Grove were each 11-2. Maple Grove handed the Cougars their lone loss.

Champlin Park was next at 10-3 in the 14-team conference.

The Cougars triumphed in front of a big crowd at home on a pleasant evening.

“Great win for the girls, great win for the program,” coach Rick Thomas said.

Celsi Burn delivered a bases-loaded double against the left-field fence with a 1-2 count with two outs in the third inning, scoring three runs to open a 5-0 lead. The junior backup outfielder is just 4-for25 but also socked a walk-off home run in a 3-2 win over Rockford the previous Saturday evening.

Blaine committed three infield errors that rendered all five Cougar runs unearned against Emma Edwards, who allowed just three hits.

Centennial’s defense sparkled. Center fielder Lily Gilmore made two diving catches after hard runs. Krage knocked down a line drive and shortstop Alexa Just scooped it up to throw the batter out and prevent a run. Second baseman Adrianna Thomas made a lunging catch Helene Krage threw a on a soft liner for the three-hitter against Blaine. third out with bases loaded.

Krage said this is the best team chemistry in her five years on varsity.

She’s played with her catcher Bryn Ruberg since age eight. “I love having Bryn as my catcher ’cause we know each other so well. She has been getting calls for me behind the plate like no one’s business.”

Her infielders, she said, “are doing a great job of knocking all the balls down and not letting them get through.”

Otherwise it was a tough week for the No. 5 ranked Cougars (14-5) as they lost to two other conference champion teams.

who struck out 10 batters in the shutout and delivered an RBI double. The Warriors took a 5-0 lead against Montana Miller before O’Connell threw 4 2/3 shutout innings.

St. Anthony (18-1), No. 4 in Class 3A, nipped the Cougars 2-1 Wednesday as Stella Kiemele and Ellie Peterson combined for a two-hitter with eight strikeouts. O’Connell took the loss despite a fivehitter and eight strikeouts. She singled home the Cougars lone run.

Will Whelan hit a solo homer. Streit was 3-for-3 with three runs. Vinny Wry and Drew Molitor each had one hit and an RBI. Blaine scored five runs in the fifth off Molitor and Brady Ivory for a 5-3 lead. Aiden Lieser threw 2 1/2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts. Caden Klebba pitched a 1-2-3 eighth, collecting the win.

Elk River beat the Cougars 8-4 on Thursday, scoring seven runs in the first inning on four singles, three walks and two hit-by-pitches. Ivory hit a two-run homer for the Cougars, who had just five hits. Whelan, starting pitcher, took the loss.

That concluded the Northwest Suburban Conference season for the Cougars, who tied for fifth place among 13 teams. Maple Grove and Rogers were 10-2, Blaine 9-2, Andover 8-3, and Centennial and Anoka each 7-5 for the top five slots.

Tips for safe swimming MEMORIAL DAY: North metro calendar of events for holiday weekend FROM PAGE 1

The YMCA of the North provides water safety tips to help kids, teens, adults and families enjoy lakes, rivers and pools during the Memorial Day holiday weekend and throughout the summer months.

Throughout the pandemic, water safety is more important than ever due to missed swimming lessons, fewer pools with lifeguards and more families that choose to spend time outdoors around the water.

SAFETY TIPS TO PRACTICE IN AND AROUND WATER: • Never swim alone.

• Lifeguarded beaches and pools provide another layer of safety in addition to parental supervision. They also ensure water chemistry/beach water has been tested and is safe.

• A responsible adult should constantly and actively watch children.

• Always keep young children or nonswimmers within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian.

• Remember, inexperienced or nonswimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

• Be wary of inflatables because a poke or blown valve can turn into a dangerous situation quickly.

• Don’t engage in breath-holding activities.

• Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling in any water; instead, use a long object to reach for them and pull them to safety.

• Enroll children and nonswimmers in water safety or swim lessons.

• Be mindful of the hazards of backyard pools with standing water around because kids can fall down or can’t get out, and infants or preschoolers can climb or crawl in.

• Know CPR. • Guarantee that every child in the backyard pool who cannot swim wears a U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejacket.

• Provide constant supervision.

• Make sure there is a way to climb out of the pool if it’s too tall to step out of.

• Keeping kids safe when adults are also engaged in fun is incredibly important. A simple tip for parents near any kind of water this summer is to take the Water Watcher pledge. As a Water Watcher, an adult agrees to: • Maintain constant visual contact with the children in the group.

• Not drink alcohol, talk on the phone, socialize or read while watching children.

• Keep a phone near the water for emergency purposes only.

• Remain by the water until relieved by a new water watcher.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com That was some storm that raked the eastern Metro last Thursday, May 19. Remember that date for hail claims for your car and roof. It had been some time since the east Metro received quarter-size and larger hail. Reports have the largest hail occurring over North St. Paul. Shoreview received mainly pea-size to a few nickel-size. My neighborhood in White Bear Lake experienced a mix of pea-size to quarter-size. Fortunately there wasn’t much wind and rain with the hail storm and that limited damage. May has been an active weather month as warmer air is battling to displace colder air leftover from the winter months.

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.
