CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL: Top Academic Achievers PAGE 7

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

LINO LAKES — Although Blue Heron Days is canceled this year, it will mark the first Blue Heron Hustle 5K. That decision, however, does not sit well with all parties involved.

This year would have marked the 15th year of the Officer Shawn Silvera Rotary Run. The run honors Lino Lakes Police Officer Shawn Silvera, who was killed in the line of duty while assisting in a high-speed chase on I-35W on Sept. 6, 2005. The event also honors other officers who have been killed in the line of duty. The original Chain of Lakes Rotary “Blue Out” 5K was held in 2012. The two runs merged in 2015.

“This year we decided that we are going to go separate ways,” said Tom Tardif, Rotary member and new race director. “We are branching off to do things on our own.”

Jennifer Silvera-Lindemer, Shawn’s wife, said the decision was not mutual.

“It was actually a heartbreaking decision for me. The Rotary decided they wanted to do their own run and part ways with the Officer Shawn Silvera name. I have to respect their decision, but it is a sad decision for me and my family,” she said. “The run has always been an honoring event for the sacrifice that Shawn made for Lino Lakes. And for my kids, it symbolizes a connection to their dad.”

Chain of Lakes Rotary Club President Kevin Fitzpatrick said the change is a result of a lot of factors, including a new race director (Fitzpatrick stepped down last year) and the fact that organizers were not able to gather for planning meetings this spring. What’s more, former Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Supervisor Brian Hronski is no longer employed with the city.

Also, Fitzpatrick noted, there are not enough people to help with the event.

“It comes down to a change in leadership. We need to have more people shoulder some of the responsibilities,” Fitzpatrick said. “It was time for a new, fresh start.”

Tardif added, “We wanted to try to make it more community oriented and change the name (to include) SEE ROTARY RUNS, PAGE 3

Fire razes Lino Lakes home, day care

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

LINO LAKES — A longtime daycare provider is thankful all seven children she was caring for are safe after a fi re broke out in her home.

Becky Marshall has lived in Lino Lakes for 42 years and has been operating a home day care for 38 of them.

At 11:04 a.m. Friday, June 12, the Lino Lakes Fire Department (LLFD) was dispatched to

Marshall’s home on Sandpiper Drive near Chomonix Golf Course. Mutual aid was provided by the Centennial Fire District as well as Spring Lake Park, Blaine, Mounds View and White Bear Lake fi re departments.

“We were outside playing, drawing pictures on the driveway with chalk and playing in the sandbox, and I heard my dog Marley barking,” Marshall recalled. Becky thought Marley

CENTENNIAL SCHOOL BOARD NOTES • Awarded contracts to a couple of contractors for interior lighting replacement projects at the District Office (Daley Electric in the amount of $11,968), Centennial Elementary (Reluminate for $30,216) middle school (Reluminate for $57,537), Blue Heron Elementary (Reluminate for $40,204) and Rice Lake Elementary (Reluminate for $32,745).

Chaffey explained that the project will convert all lighting to LED. He estimates that once the project is complete, the district will see an annual energy savings of about $100,000.

• Approved Minnesota Type III contracts for pupil transportation with Lorenz Bus Service Inc., Safe Tree Transportation LLC

The Centennial School Board took the following action at its June 8 meeting, held via teleconference: • Heard from Executive Director of Business Services Patrick Chaffey, who shared how COVID-19 has impacted the district’s finances. District funds have seen opportunities for savings as well as challenges because of decreased revenue and increased costs.

The district has been able to save some money (needing fewer supplies, cancellation of extracurricular activities, and lower utility bills). However, it has also lost money because some fees have not been collected and refunds had to be paid.

The district has also had to purchase an abundance of personal protective equipment (PPE).

and Collaborative Student Transportation (CST) of Minnesota LLC. The district’s current contract is with CST; however, the district felt it would be advantageous to expand partnerships with other companies.

The rates include market rate adjustments based on the price quotes received for the 20202021 school year and 3% for the 2021-2022 school year.

• Accepted the bid from St. Paul Beverage Solutions for milk and related products.

Basic half-pint milk pricing will be $0.1503 to $0.1638. St. Paul Beverage Solutions has been the district’s milk provider for the past two years.

• Approved a $0.10 increase for lunches at the elementary and secondary level for the 2020-2021 school year. Breakfast prices, however, will be lowered from $2.30 to $1 per student to help boost participation.

Chaffey explained that the district plans to lengthen the passing time in between first and second periods to 10 minutes at the high school to allow students to stop and get breakfast. Breakfast stations will be scattered throughout the building.

• Approved the Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District No. 916

long-term facilities maintenance budget for $173,000 for 20202021. Centennial will include a proportionate share of those costs in its long-term facilities maintenance application. It is not yet finalized, but Chaffey estimates that Centennial’s portion will be around $7,500.

• Approved a resolution that recognizes Intermediate District 916 as a telecommunications access cluster. To qualify for state and federal funding e-rate discounts and equity aid, school districts must be part of a telecommunications cluster. Technology and Informational Educational Services (TIES) was Centennial’s previous telecom cluster but it dissolved in 2018.

• Approved individual contract settlements for

Tim Burton, director of buildings and grounds; Nick Christensen, director of alternative learning; and Chaffey.

• Approved two-year contracts with Allison Weber, maintenance supervisor, and Nick Droogsma, ice arena manager. The positions are new to the district and are because Centennial has taken over ice arena management.

• Heard from School Board Chair Suzy Guthmueller, who shared that Superintendent Brian Dietz received “high marks” in all five areas of critique. “As a school board, we feel fortunate to have a superintendent that has embedded himself in the community and has become a valued member as well as a leader,” she said. “As we go forward, learning

• Passed a resolution honoring and commending the Class of 2020. School Board Clerk Kathryn Timm was the driving force behind the resolution. “Graduation is a perk of being a school board member. I really miss that this year,” she said. “They still have their whole adult lives ahead of them, and they will do great things. It is important that they know that we look at the last 13 years of their lives and know how hard they have worked and say something a little extra because we didn’t get to do what we normally do.”

School Board Treasurer Chris Bettinger, who has a 2020 senior, thanked Timm for pursuing the resolution. “It feels like it has just been one thing after another, but graduation (being canceled) was really a killer,” he said. “I have talked to other parents with seniors, and in some cases it has almost hurt the parents even more than the kids because they were looking forward to this moment with their son or daughter and then everything just fell apart.”

ROTARY RUN: Chain of Lakes Rotary launches first Blue Heron Hustle planned during a pandemic. “Originally with the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt the responsible decision was to press pause on the run for a year,� Silvera-Lindemer said. “We had heard that the city was canceling Blue Heron Days and it made sense to us with a global pandemic to consider the health of the community.�

Fitzpatrick, who serves as a consultant who builds online health tools for large biopharmaceutical and medical organizations, said he did not see a problem with the event still happening because it is outside. “About a month ago, it became clear that outdoor activities are deemed safe. We know that it is pretty difficult to contract COVID-19 outdoors while you are social distancing. It (the virus) also dissipates and does not like heat,� he explained. “We are in compliance with the CDC guidelines.�

As for the future of the Silvera run, SilveraLindemer says she hopes the event will be back next year with a new partner to honor Shawn’s sacrifice and benefit charities.

Blue Heron so it resonated with the Lino community at large.�

Fitzpatrick said he does feel bad that the popular Public Safety Challenge will not be a part of this year’s event. “Due to COVID-19 and the short timeline, we just weren’t able to get many public safety people involved,� he explained. Fitzpatrick did mention he would still like to see Silvera honored in some way at the new event.

Silvera-Lindemer said she understands that change happens as a result of new leadership, but her family is still sad about the decision. “We had a run in New Brighton for several years and the Rotary asked us to come back to Lino Lakes to bring the run home,� she said. “The run was designed as a legacy to not only remember a fallen officer but honor all men and women who work in public service. Making these changes without giving the family notice or time to transition was disheartening, especially when our family has sacrificed a father, husband and son for the betterment of the community.�

The two parties also did not agree on whether the event should be canceled or go on as

Blue Heron Hustle 5K The Blue Heron Hustle 5K will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15, at

the Lino Lakes YMCA. A 2-mile fun run/walk (not timed) will begin at 8:45 a.m.

Although the event is still in the planning stages, Tardif said he hopes that followig the run the city of Lino Lakes will grant the Rotary approval to use the city-owned grassy field in front of the YMCA to continue the fun with food trucks, beer, wine and music, starting at 10 a.m. The Rotary is also planning to partner with the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce to encourage participation from area vendors. “Without Blue Heron Days, there is nothing else going on in the Lino Lakes area, so why not extend it out a few hours and have people come out and get

together, have a drink and enjoy themselves�?

Tardif said.

During the event, social distancing and the use of masks will be encouraged. However, masks will not be required. Hand sanitizer will be readily available.

In lieu of paying with cash or credit card at various booths, attendees can purchase tickets at a ticket booth and then redeem those for beverages, food or raffle prizes.

Proceeds from the event will be split three ways. Beneficiaries include the Rotary’s Students Taking Renewed Interest in the Value of Education (STRIVE) scholarships, Alexandra House, and the Minnesota Law Enforcement Explorer Association.

Don’t abuse freedoms

T

he First Amendment of our Constitution provides five important freedoms, and they don’t deserve to be abused.

The First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The First Amendment protects the rights of citizens to protest the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.

But looting, burning of stores and destruction About the of businesses is an unacceptable way to Town protest the killing of Gene Johnson George Floyd.

Protests and demonstrations are not new in this 200 year old democracy.

The protests of the 60s ranged from the Civil Rights movement to our involvement in the Vietnam War. Subsequently, we have experienced movements for gay rights, the environment, and several other issues. We have experienced a great deal of social change because of these movements, made possible by the First Amendment.

The First Amendment allows us to speak to issues and redress government regarding its policies and legislation. The recent protests are an excellent example that there is a need for change in police culture and how we provide safety and protection of citizens.

It’s becoming clear that we may have expected police to perform too many roles. It’s also clear the training of officers is not adequate, and discipline and accountability are not adequate in some departments.

The protests/protestors are rightfully calling attention to this. But action by those who damage property, injure people and place economic burdens on neighborhoods should never be acceptable and distract from the goal of the protest.

Racism is so deep–seeded we haven’t been able to overcome it. In the George Floyd case, people around the world were witnesses to a crime and saw no one take immediate action when the officer was taking Floyd’s last breath away. Are we going to continue to be witnesses to injustice?

Protests will continue to be in order but if you are protesting the state government, go to the steps of the State Capitol; if you are protesting county government, go to the County Courthouse; if you are protesting issues in your own city, go to City Hall and clearly state your issue.

America has changed but tough questions have been ignored. We’ve made some progress with equal opportunity and equal rights, but I do not think there is justice for all.

Hopefully, now is the time we no longer ignore the tough questions on racial inequality. The current protests will result in a major shift in America so there is more equal opportunity, equal rights and justice for all.

Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

F

ake news. Those two words have likely created more confusion and distrust of the news media than any other. While it is easy to understand why those of us who work in the news media despise the term, it should also be apparent that the general public has a vested interest in discerning facts from falsehoods.

Some of the louder news voices of the past few decades have been the cable news networks that provide news, analysis and opinion. There is nothing wrong with the news media providing opinions, and it often plays an important role in explaining what the facts may mean. The problem comes when the audience doesn’t discern the difference between news and opinion.

Opinions on newspaper editorial pages have been in the news recently.

On June 7, The New York Times editorial page editor resigned and a deputy editorial page America’s editor stepped down for a new job after Newspapers the newspaper’s published Dean Ridings website U.S. Senator Tom Cotton’s controversial opinion piece justifying using the armed forces on American soil during civil unrest. About the same time, there were announcements from several papers around the country that they would be cutting back, even in some cases eliminating, the editorials they publish.

And looming over all this is the presidential election in November.

If history is any guide, a record number of newspapers will decline

to say who should lead the United States at a time of racial protest, uncertain progress in the COVID-19 pandemic and economic turmoil.

Newspaper editorial and opinion pages have long engendered misunderstanding among readers, and much of the confusion is, frankly, the fault of newspapers ourselves. Since we understand the very important distinctions between news and opinions, we too often fail to remind our audience of the firewall we’ve established between the reporting of our journalists and the opining of editorial writers. Additionally, we don’t always label the opinion pieces as clearly as is needed.

A quick couple of definitions: The most common meaning of an “editorial” is the unsigned opinion piece that represents the view of the newspaper itself. An op-ed or column presents the individual view of an identified person who might or might not work for the newspaper.

Let’s focus on those unsigned editorials, and why they matter.

First, here’s what editorials don’t do: They do not affect in any manner the way newspaper reporters cover the news, whether the news is about the city council or the president of the United States. Editorials are not marching orders for journalists. When journalists are educated and trained, one of the first tenets they learn is to state the facts and keep their opinions out of the story.

Here’s what editorials do, and what is often misunderstood: Yes, editorials represent the views of the newspaper, sometimes determined by individual owners, sometimes by independent editorial boards or by corporate owners of many publications.

But the editorials that emerge from

those views are usually the products of deep research. They clarify the issues of the day and serve to give readers insights into those issues — whether those issues concern how to straighten out the traffic mess at the edge of town or how to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Editorials are another service that newspapers provide for readers.

But, to repeat, it is a service too often misunderstood. Newspaper editors often hear from — and opinion polls reflect — a significant minority of readers who think that a newspaper’s editorial endorsement of a particular candidate colors its reporters’ coverage of the campaign. Newspapers, these folks will say, are trying to “dictate” how people should vote, a surely inappropriate thing.

Newspapers can — and do — provide fair and fearless reporting while offering strong and insightful opinion on the other side of their newsroom/ opinion page firewalls. But there are still two needed components for our country to trust their news sources.

Newspapers have a responsibility to label opinion pieces appropriately and to keep the news objective, but the reader also has the responsibility to take the time to understand the difference. Until then, we will likely continue to hear cries of fake news when the reader doesn’t like what they read. And that’s when we all lose.

University of Minnesota launches FRESH–Teen

O

besity is a growing problem in the United States, especially for teens. Although Minnesota ranks better than average compared to other states, 26% of youth ages 10-17 are overweight or obese. Adolescents and their families often struggle to determine healthy eating and exercise patterns for weight management.

Dr. Carol Peterson, a psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota, is collaborating with researchers at the University of California, San Diego, to test a new weight loss treatment for teens and their families called the FRESH Teen program (“FRESH” stands for “Families Responsibility Education Support Health). We asked Dr. Peterson what parents can do to help support their child’s health

Q: Isn’t my kid too young to be worrying about their weight?

Because weight problems in childhood and adolescence can predict struggles with weight in adulthood, early prevention and treatment is critical. Research has helped us understand the importance of targeting behaviors that impact weight, particularly eating and exercise, as well as the critical role of emotions, which impact eating and weight. We believe that it is most important to focus on eating and exercise behaviors as well as strategies to manage emotions, and that addressing these factors can impact weight.

Q: What can parents do to promote both healthy bodies and body images in their kids?

One of the most important strategies for Movers & parents and family members is to work Shakers collaboratively to make healthy Dr. Carol behaviors enjoyable.

Peterson Having family “dance parties,”, trying out new recipes together, and finding fun ways to experiment with healthy eating and movement are most effective in promoting positive behavior change and body image. Strive together as a family to make exercise and eating about health and fun rather than a focus on the number on the scale. Because criticizing your child’s appearance, weight, and behaviors can have a negative impact on children, use supportive language (like “I see how hard you are working on changing your behavior”) and praise for your child’s behaviors. Because parents are important role models for their teens, remember that your health-related behaviors as well as your attitudes about your own appearance are strongly influential.

Q: What makes FRESH-Teen different than other weight loss programs?

While many diet plans focus on restricting calories, FRESH-Teen aims to focus on the underlying

WEEKLY WAG

reasons for overeating, especially the role of emotions. FRESH-Teen is examining how teaching teens and their family members strategies to cope with emotions can have a positive influence on healthy behaviors as well as weight. One of the most important aspects of FRESH-Teen is the involvement of the family: The treatment includes teens along with their parents.

Q: How much of a commitment is it?

Is there a cost?

The program consists of 20 group- and family- based treatment sessions over six months. Because it’s a research study and we are evaluating it to see how well it works, participants have additional meetings in which they fi ll out questionnaires and answer interview questions.

Q: How does the program work with quarantine and social distancing?

Another novelty of FRESHTeen–it’s all online. From videochat assessments and group therapy sessions using Zoom, the program is not only stay-at-home compliant but also eliminates other barriers for families such as transportation and distance.

Interested in getting involved?

We are looking for families to participate! If you have a teen ages 13-16 and are interested in participating, email chear@ucsd.edu or call 1-855-UCSD-4-W8 to sign up or learn more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SUBMITTED

Levi is a neutered 1-year-old, 15-pound dachshund mix.

He is currently recovering from his traumatic past. It takes him a while to get used to new situations and people. Levi recently discovered that he enjoys chewing on toys, but he still doesn’t quite know how to play. He is house trained and does very well with other dogs. In fact, he needs to be adopted in a home with other dogs to

help him continue the progress he’s made. The key to Levi’s heart is food and lots of snuggles.

Levi is looking for an owner with lots of love, patience and experience dealing with fearful dogs. If you are interested in Levi, please fill out an adoption application at ruffstartrescue. org. Once your application is received, a placement coordinator will be in contact with you as soon as possible.

CALENDAR BRIEF St. Genevieve’s hosts blood drive The American Red Cross is hosting a blood drive from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday, June 26 at St. Genevieve’s Community Center, 6995 Centerville Road. All blood donation will be tested for COVID-19 antibodies. Make an appointment by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Thank you, Circle Pines parks crew My husband Jim and I would like to thank the Circle Pines Parks Department for the upgrades recently completed in two parks where we regularly hike the paths.

First, thank you for replacing the old, rickety, narrow wooden bridge in Aspen Park. The new boardwalk is wider, safer and feels more in tune with its surroundings.

Secondly, thank you for raising and resurfacing the dirt/sand path in Pheasant Run Park. My husband and I moved to Circle Pines in 2016 and with rainy weather, the path would become impassable. Now, it appears we will be able to hike that path year ‘round.

Karen Cox Circle Pines

PAID LETTER Kris Fredrick for District 38A I had the distinct pleasure of working with Kris Fredrick and his wife Kristina on the lighting upgrade project to replace all the light bulbs with LED bulbs in Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Circle Pines.

I point this out because Kris is running for the Minnesota House seat in District 38A. On his website, voteforkris.com, Kris explains in his introductory video that infrastructure and the environment are a couple of the areas on which he’d like to focus.

Kris listens and researches the sciencebased facts, then acts, as he demonstrated with the lighting upgrade project. He learned that the project will reduce the church’s carbon footprint by roughly 100,000 pounds per year. Electrical savings will be approximately $8,000 per year for a payback of about two years. Kris knew that this project was the financially and environmentally responsible plan of action.

With the global crises of COVID-19 and climate change, along with racial strife, we need thoughtful and sensible leadership in the state Legislature. Kris is the person we want representing us during these demanding times.

Please apply for your absentee ballot now at mnvotes.org so you will be prepared to vote for Kris Fredrick in the Nov. 3 election without having to go to the polls. It’s the safe thing to do.

Campanelle opens for takeout Campanelle Restaurant and Bar, located at 7114 Otter Lake Road in Lino Lakes, is open for take out. Last week, “we are open” and “open for takeout” signs were spotted hanging on the side of the building. Owner Kent Bergmann confirmed that the restaurant is open for take out, but is “severely understaffed.” Bergmann explained that it is only him and one other person trying to fulfill the high volume of orders. He is seeking cooks and servers. Visit campanelle.com for more information.

Lino Lakes YMCA aims to reopen in August YMCA locations around the Twin Cities are gradually beginning to reopen throughout the summer.

According the YMCA’s website, the Lino Lakes location is listed as one of the several locations that will likely open by Aug. 3.

Some of the first changes members will experience are indicators for healthy physical distancing, the spacing of fitness equipment, ample access to hand sanitizer and sanitizer stations, and significant disinfecting of equipment and activity areas throughout the day. Areas and amenities involving lower risk will deliberately be phased in as YMCA locations transition back to full capacity. For updates, visit ymcamn.org/reopening.

FIRE: ‘Outpouring of love’ after fire destroys home day care FROM PAGE 1

needed to go outside so she proceeded to walk up her deck stairs to let him out of the sliding glass door in the kitchen when she said, “smoke came billowing out.”

“I was in shock and disbelief. I was so glad we were outside,” she said. Within seconds, Marshall sprang into action to make sure all of the children in her care were safe. She returned to the children, called 9-1-1 and the group headed over to a neighbor’s house.

Within minutes, Marshall said the “outpouring of love” began. Children in the neighborhood who used to attend day care there brought over snacks for the seven children and distracted them with some handmade bracelets. “They really didn’t have to witness a lot of what was going on, but you could tell they were getting a little nervous when all of the fire equipment started showing up,” she said.

Once Marshall was able to safely walk through what was left of her home, it was clear that very little was salvageable. Christie Bewell, who is married to Marshall’s son Cassidy, said, “It was totally surreal. I did not feel like I was standing in the same house anymore. I knew where I was, but there was nothing that looked like Becky’s house. The entirety of the top floor was totally charred ... There was no upstairs bathroom anymore, you couldn’t see the sink, bathtub or toilet anymore.”

Thankfully, Marley and one other dog and two cats all made it out of the fire.

Marshall, an avid quilter, is also happy that it looks like most of her quilts can

be saved. “The stuff in the house was just stuff, but the people are what really matters,” she said.

LLFD Deputy Director Dan L’Allierz said the cause of the fire was determined to be electrical. Bewell said it may have been started by a wiring issue in a lighting fixture in the downstairs bathroom.

Bewell is one of four people who sprang into action to get a recovery fund set up for Becky on GoFundMe. The fundraiser was initially set up with a $1,000 goal, but Bewell says that goal has been changed numerous times now thanks to the generosity of family, friends and strangers. In less than 24 hours, the page had surpassed its goal of $10,000. As of press deadline, $20,600 had been raised by 171 donors.

“Becky is the most generous person I have ever met, without question,” Bewell said. The GoFundMe site was created to help with Becky’s immediate needs including clothing, lost wages, etc. Marshall said she continues to be amazed by the outpouring of support.

“It is so heartwarming, touching and overwhelming ... I don’t know what to say.”

Marshall plans to rebuild on her property and resume providing day care once she is able.

“I am choosing to be positive going forward,” she said. “With the love and support I am getting and God’s help, things will be fine.”

Senior dog Marley is the one who alerted Becky Marshall that something was wrong. Marshall heard Marley barking and went to check on him. When she opened the sliding glass door, smoke came billowing out of the kitchen.

[SUBTITLED] [OPENS JUNE 19 IN VIRTUAL CINEMA SPONSORED BY MSP FILM SOCIETY; FOR MORE INFORMATION, LOG ON TO MSPFILM.ORG.] — When a feisty, tenacious photographer (Ăˆve Landry) ends up at a remote Canadian hunting lodge managed by a cannabis grower (Éric Robidoux) in an attempt to interview a renown survivor (Kenneth Welsh) of a devastating forest fire in the early 1900s in this poignant, touching, captivating, well-acted, critically acclaimed, languid-paced, bittersweet, 127-minute, 2019 film adapted from Jocelyne Saucier’s novel, highlighted by stunning cinematography and scenery, and dominated by a sensitive portrayal of the vagaries of life and the nature of aging.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com We received some much needed rain last week and this past weekend. Even though Sunday's Father's Day rain put a damper on outdoor activities, it was a very nice morning and early afternoon. I myself had to grill in a light rain. Sunday's rain did spare some of the northern suburbs as much of the rain fell south of 694. We're still a little short for rainfall this month and heading for a rare drier than normal June. It was nice that winds also backed off this past week. I was able to take the kayak out without being blown backwards.

Astro Note: If you're up late, Jupiter rises shortly before Saturn. Jupiter is the brighter planet with Saturn appearing dimmer to the left of Jupiter.

The car parade also served as a celebration for the upcoming holiday, Father’s Day.

Lead Editor Shannon Granholm's corgi named Twinkie even tagged along in her remote control VW bus. Pictured are residents Garth Rathgen and Shirley Watson.
