Circle Pines to become GreenStep City

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — Circle Pines will soon join more than 120 cities who are becoming mindful about sustainability.

The idea to join the program came about after City Council members, Mayor Dave Bartholomay and City Administrator Patrick Antonen attended a session on the topic of sustainability at the League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference June 26-28 in Duluth.

At the council’s July 9 meeting, Goldberg suggested the city consider joining the program. “Circle Pines really does a lot of things around sustainability, and we should get recognized for that work, our citizens should be aware of it and we should apply for and get recognition through the GreenStep Cities program,” he said.

Metropolitan Council Member (District 10) Peter Lindstrom explained, “(GreenStep Cities) is one of the best programs that I have been a part of both working with and also in my mayor role” (he is a former mayor of Falcon Heights).

“It is a voluntary challenge, assistance and recognition program, and there are 29 best practices all centered around sustainability. With 850 some cities in Minnesota, it would be difficult for all of the cities to have their own sustainability plans. There are currently about 124 cities in the program.”

The Minnesota GreenStep Cities program helps cities achieve their sustainability and quality-of-life goals. The continuous improvement program is based upon a menu of 29 optional best practices. Each best practice can be implemented, as

Moonstruck: On 50th anniversary of lunar landing, residents remember mankind’s giant leap

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

Saturday, July 20, marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

On that day, in 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle, which carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made contact with the surface of the moon while Michael Collins piloted the command module, Columbia, in lunar orbit. As Armstrong stepped out onto the moon, he uttered what have since become immortal words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Steve Emert, of White Bear Lake, was 15 at the time and “very excited” about the moon landing. He and his family, he said, “like many others, watched everything on CBS because we felt that Walter Cronkite, accompanied by astronaut Wally Schirra, was the best reporter for the Apollo program.”

Digital video recorders didn’t exist in the 1960s, but tape recorders, at least, did. Emert said he tape-recorded the entire special leading up to the landing, in addition to the broadcast of the landing and the moonwalk itself. “I sure wish we had video recording capabilities in those days,” he added.

Emert was one of approximately 600 million viewers who tuned into to watch Armstrong’s—and later Aldrin’s—moonwalk. “I remember the confusion created by CBS’s animation showing the (lunar module) landing before it actually did, and also Mr. Cronkite’s confusion about when exactly Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon because he said he was testing being able to get back up on the ladder.”

Council moves forward with financing plan for Lyngblomsten proposal

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — The city is one step closer to creating a substantial development on the “gateway corner” of Hodgson Road and County Road J. The City Council held a public hearing and passed a resolution at its July 8 meeting approving a tax increment financing (TIF) plan for District 1-13. There was no public comment during the public hearing.

Lyngblomsten Senior Housing Inc. is proposing to develop the 20-acre area located in the northwest quadrant of Hodgson Road and County Road J as a senior living community. The council approved the preliminary plat/ planned unit development stage plan for the project April 8. The project is proposed to include 20 rental cottage homes and a senior rental housing building consisting

of both independent and assisted-living units. A skilled nursing facility is also planned as part of the campus. The estimated value of the project is $28.9 million.

Community Development Director Michael Grochala explained that the project would address a number of city goals and has numerous benefits for the public including, but not limited to: • Demolition and consolidation of existing underutilized properties, including removal of four existing buildings and consolidation of multiple vacant or underutilized parcels as well as the development of new commercial pad sites, which will generate new commercial tax base.

• New public street improvements to Hodgson and County Road J to improve circulation, capacity and safety along the corridor.

• Construction of nearly a half-mile of new trail linking residents west of Hodgson Road with the existing trail system to the east.

• Extension of public water and sanitary sewer to areas currently without service. The project will include main lines to service areas east of Hodgson Road and extension of trunk water main through the development area.

• Creation of approximately 130 FTE jobs with average hourly wages of $22.50/hour.

Lyngblomsten Senior Housing Inc. has applied for public assistance to offset land, infrastructure and construction costs related to the senior building. This assistance would be provided in the form of TIF. “TIF is a financing

tool that cities use to bridge the gap for extraordinary costs related to the project,” explained Mikaela Huot, of Baker Tilly, formerly Springsted, the city’s financial adviser.

The establishment of a TIF district requires the preparation of a TIF plan and review by both the school district and county. Grochala said no comments were received from either Centennial Schools or Anoka County.

Additionally, in accordance with Minnesota statute, the plan requires that at least 20% of the units be restricted to persons or families with incomes at or below 50% of the area median income.

The City Council and EDA propose to establish a housing district. The maximum duration of a housing district is 26 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment. The TIF plan proposes a maximum duration of nine years.

Huot explained the primary purpose of the district is to aid in the construction of the proposed senior housing facility. Tax increment is intended to be used to offset costs related to land, building and infrastructure costs.

According to the TIF plan, because of “extraordinary costs” associated with the project — including land assembly, infrastructure and building — the project would not be reasonably expected to occur solely through private investment. The estimated public costs eligible for reimbursement from tax increment would be $3.7 million.

Approval of the TIF plan and determination of eligible costs does not obligate the city/EDA to any specific district duration or amount of assistance, Huot said. The determination of any specific assistance package will be part of a separate contract for development. The EDA will consider approval of a contract for private development on July 22.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its July 8 meeting: • Heard from Mayor Jeff Reinert, who wanted to comment on saying the Pledge of Allegiance before council meetings. The topic recently made national headlines after the St. Louis Park City Council decided to no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance at meetings.

“There are some cities around that are starting to not say it, and I find that extremely offensive,” Reinert said. “We say it at our meetings, but we don't have anything in place like a resolution or ordinance that says we should. I'd like to put it on the agenda to talk about this among the council and come up with an ordinance to put something in place, so in the future if there is a council that doesn't want to do it, they will have to take action on it.”

• Approved a settlement agreement with CenturyLink.

City Administrator Jeff Karlson explained, “For more than a year now, CenturyLink has stopped actively selling, marketing and investing in its cable service product. As a result, there has been a significant decrease in the number of cable subscribers over this time, which violates their franchise agreement.”

He added, “Since it is CenturyLink’s intent to stop providing cable service altogether, it made sense to work with CenturyLink on an orderly transition and allow them to terminate the

3

WEEKLY WAG franchise agreement rather than engage in a franchise compliance process.”

• Appointed Katie Christofferson to the vacant accounting clerk/utility billing position in the finance department. Yelena Brook was recently promoted to accounts payable/payroll technician, which created the vacancy.

Christofferson's hourly rate of pay will be $21.03 and she will start in late July.

Councilman Dale Stoesz inquired about whether Christofferson would be able to go up in steps on the wage scale before completing her associate degree. Human Resources Manager Karissa Bartholomew explained that under the union contract, the steps are based on time rather than degree.

Councilman Rob Rafferty wanted to know if the wage steps were awarded on an annual basis, and Bartholomew explained after a six-month probationary period, the employee would move up a step and then subsequently move up steps on an annual basis.

• Accepted a $500 donation to the Public Safety Department from the Patriot Ride. Ride Captain Jim Woodruff said, “This was our 14th annual ride, and the fourth one that has come through Lino Lakes and Anoka County.

We had 4,512 motorcycles participate and no incidents along the route.” He added, “We appreciate all the police departments do for us to keep us safe.”

Public Safety Director John Swenson explained that historically, the department has used the donation for its reserve unit for equipment and the annual gathering.

• Denied a variance for curb cut/driveway width at 6626 Enid Trail. The council also denied a variance for impervious surface coverage for 6650 Enid Trail. See the full story in this week's Quad Community Press.

• Held the second reading of an ordinance vacating rightof-way, drainage and utility easements in Saddle Club 4th Addition.

Saddle Club is a planned unit development (PUD) residential subdivision located southeast of the intersection of Old Birch Street and Pheasant Run South. The applicant requested the rightof-way, drainage and utility easements be vacated to remove underlying easements concurrent to the final plat.

Revised easements will be re-dedicated on the final plat. The council has approved similar vacations on previous final plats with past developments. The council also approved a summary publication of the ordinance.

Willow is an incredibly sweet and affectionate kitty toward her people. She loves getting pets and sitting with people on the couch or in bed. She isn't as fond of close snuggling or being held for long periods of time, but it doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy the company.

Willow is a very playful kitty and would do well in a household where she can have lots of playtime. She likes to spend time sitting on her cat tree and looking out the window and jumping up where she can be high off the ground. She does not seem to mind other cats in the shelter.

Willow needs to be observed very carefully, as she has a habit of ingesting items that shouldn't be eaten and has had a few blockages that required surgery to correct. She was returned to Feline Rescue due to her last blockage because the owners couldn't afford her surgery.

To adopt Willow, submit an online adoption inquiry form at felinerescue.org/adopt-a-cat/adoption-inquiryform/.

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

Monday, July 22, at City Hall. There will also be a work session immediately beforehand at 6 p.m. in the Community Room.

A trillion

n old adage suggests that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

While taking photos and talking to participants during a tree planting event earlier this summer, my thoughts and preconceived notions shifted from skeptical to more positive and optimistic. The tree planting was part of a legal settlement with the Water Gremlin company and involved the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Tree Trust. My first thought was that this mandatory planting of trees in a park was simply a grudging appeasement stemming from a settlement. However, the more I talked to the participants, I began to appreciate the genuinely positive impact, especially looking 20 or 30 years into the future. I was told — to help prevent the Angle of possibility of some sort of blight View (like Dutch elm disease or emerald ash borer) wiping out all of the trees Paul Dols at once — that a variety of species were being planted, including honey locust, Kentucky coffee, disease resistant elm and oak, some with a life expectancy exceeding 100 years.

A recent article titled “Tree planting ‘has mindblowing potential’ to tackle climate crisis” that I first saw on The Guardian website, an international news site originating in the United Kingdom, featured the findings of a group of scientists in Switzerland, who, using satellite imagery to calculate how many more trees could be planted without encroaching on crop land or urban areas, suggested that planting a trillion trees around the world to help collect greenhouse gases could be “by far the biggest and cheapest way to tackle the climate crisis.” They surmised that there is available land and with the appropriate funding and incentives the initiative was possible and would have positive results over time. It was not suggested that tree planting (or reforestation) was the only way to address the problem of global warming and climate change, but certainly a promising, well-researched component of any national or international strategy. Variations of the story appeared on several other news sites including The New York Times, CNN, phys.org and Science. More information about the study can be found at crowtherlab.com.

During an interview taped earlier this year and recently rebroadcast on the television news program 60 Minutes, it was disappointing to see the high level of skepticism and even condescension that newly elected United States House Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez faced concerning the “Green New Deal” policy package she was introducing. While I agree that she should be able to answer detailed questions about the ambitious proposal to curb greenhouse gas emissions, while also transforming the economy, she should have been given the same level of respect as all government representatives by the interviewer (Anderson Cooper).

The ambition and scope of the “Green New Deal” is somewhat reminiscent of the space program in the 1960s. Some of the details in the recently aired PBS American Experience documentary “Chasing the Moon” revealed, among other things, that a successful outcome was far from a sure thing, while also reaffirming the perspective that while the astronauts were sent to explore the moon, they ended up really discovering the Earth. Also, if it was an elaborate hoax, as some suggest, the ability to meticulously create scads of audio, video and photographic evidence, along with keeping the more than 500,000 witnesses directly involved with the project and the Russian and Chinese governments silent for all these years is, in my opinion, a feat equally, if not more, impressive than actually flying a rocket to the moon.

Cabin catastrophes… and how to avoid them

N

othing ruins a weekend at the cabin more than an unexpected trip to the doctor.

Sometimes just knowing what to look out for can make the difference between a relaxing afternoon on the dock and an overnight stay in the hospital.

Rope and docking injuries The rope itself can also be dangerous. Drivers and spotters need to be careful not to get a hand or finger under a tow rope. It is also important to remember to never on the gas of Movers & step the boat unless the rope is taught and Shakers you can see all of Carolyn McClain it. A rope hiding under the water could be tangled on a water ski or tuber’s hand. We have seen many injuries to hands and rope burns to the body because boaters aren’t paying close attention to the rope before taking off. We also see injuries to hands and fingers that have been crushed between the dock and the boat or two boats.

Lures Lures are the culprit of the most common fishing injury we see at The Urgency Room. I’ve seen lures stuck in hands, legs, heads, faces… you name it. The most common lure injuries happen when someone is baiting the hook or trying to take the hook out of the fish’s mouth. We also see injuries when casting. Be

aware of your surroundings and never cast when people are near you.

These injuries can be very painful, especially if the barb is stuck beneath the skin. Do not remove a lure that isn’t easy to get out. Instead, come see us and we will numb the area with lidocaine before removing the lure.

That (not so) clean lake water If you have a small cut on your foot and go swimming in the lake, there is a very good chance that cut will get infected. Minnesota lakes are filled with bacteria. One example is Aeromonas hydrophila. This is a type of bacteria commonly found in freshwater or brackish water and in some fish. It can contaminate an open cut and cause a serious skin infection. Aeromonas hydrophila can also cause stomach upset, diarrhea and vomiting if swallowed.

As a general rule, cuts in the lake need to be cleaned out thoroughly as even the most minor cut can get infected.

Swimmers itch is another ailment we see this time of year when enjoying our Minnesota lakes. It can be incredibly itchy and often doesn’t show up for a day or two after swimming in an infected lake.

If you have it, we want to see you at The Urgency Room, as this almost unbearable itch can be treated with steroids.

Bites and rashes Mosquitos and gnats in Minnesota this time of year are just horrible.

We worry about the skin infection that can occur when bites are itched so much the skin is broken. They

can cause a lot of discomfort and swelling. Hornets and wasps are also a concern, as a bite from either can easily turn into a huge welt that is red and hot to the touch. If this sounds familiar, we want to see you.

Poison ivy is another skin concern.

We like to remind patients that they can also catch it from picking up a pet that has been walking through an area with the plant.

Fire pit burns While enjoyable, bonfires are also a source of serious burn injuries.

The first and most important step to treating minor and serious burns is simple: cool it down. If you’re at home, run the injury under cold tap water or grab anything cold to pour over the burn, even a soft drink will work. The key thing is to act quickly because when you get burned, your skin literally starts to cook. You want to stop that process immediately. Speedy action with cold water reduces pain, swelling and the risk of scarring.

Dehydration A day on the boat is dehydrating enough, but add alcohol to the mix and you’ve got a dangerous combination. We cannot stress enough the importance of moderation while up at the cabin.

Be sure to hydrate properly and be smart.

Spend your vacation relaxing… not rushing to the doctor for an injury that could have been prevented.

Dr. Carolyn McClain, medical director of The Urgency Room

After about four months of fundraising, St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church in Lino Lakes raised enough funds to purchase a new piano. The 9-foot Steinway, built in 1882, was refinished and rebuilt.

The project took about nine months, and the piano was delivered to St. Joe’s June 25.

The Roseville Alzheimer’s and Dementia Community Action Team (A/D) has launched an online survey where people with dementia can share their experiences in air travel.

The Roseville A/D is partnered with the DementiaFriendly Airports Working Group, a Twin Citiesbased group of researchers from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Australia’s Brisbane Airport and other groups.

There is little data addressing the difficulties that people living with dementia have in airports, but plenty of anecdotes. Navigating security and crowds can lead to anxiety and confusion. The survey is designed to address these difficulties and improve accommodations.

“There is tremendous excitement about this effort on the part of dementia service providers, travelers and their companions dealing with dementia,” Roseville A/D founder Sara Barsel said in a press release. “Navigating airports can be daunting for anyone, but especially for people with hidden disabilities like dementia.”

Survey participants will remain anonymous and the survey is available to fi ll out through Sept. 15. It can be found at bit.ly/DementiaFriendlyAirports.

Sobolik takes over robust Cougar girls hoops program

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Jamie Sobolik’s ambition early in his teaching/coaching career was to be a head coach. Then he became a dad, and that goal wasn’t so important anymore.

But Sobolik got back into coaching basketball three years ago, and when a plumb head coach job opened up recently at Centennial High School, he grabbed it.

Sobolik, 45, was named May 9 to take over the Cougar girls basketball program, one of the strongest in the metro area. He applied after hashing it over with Jill Becken, who had retired for the second time and was recommending him to succeed her.

“I started to have those aspirations that I had 15 years prior,” said Sobolik.

Becken had 281 wins and five state trips over 12 seasons in two separate stints. Sobolik assisted her the last three seasons and also for three years during

her first tenure as coach.

He was chosen by Brian Hegseth, the last hire by the longtime activities director before he retired.

The new coach knows Cougar hoops has high standards.

“I’m excited to lead this great program,” he said.

“I would be lying if I told you I’m not nervous. The three previous coaches of this program have created large shoes to fill.”

He referred to Dennis Hutter, the first Cougar coach to hire him as an assistant, now coaching at Mayville State University in North Dakota with a 116-52 record; Becken, who is “the winningest coach at Centennial and I believe will end up in the Minnesota Coaches Hall of Fame”; and Greg Amundson, a North Dakota coaches Hall of Famer who had the job for five years between Becken’s two tenures.

“So I do feel some pressure, but I also know that I’m trying to be the best coach I can

be, and can’t be worried about the comparisons,” said Sobolik, who left coaching after his daughter was born in 2006 and stayed out for 10 years except for some AAU ball.

“He’s excited to lead this great group of girls and I’m excited for him,” Becken said. “I think he’ll do a nice job, as he has great ideas, he’s got a lot of experience, and he most importantly he cares about the players as people first.”

Centennial was 51-9 the last two years and placed third in the state this past March. Two starters return: guards Jodi Anderson and Grace Johnson.

“I think this is a great time to take over the program and give it my own twist,” Sobolik said.

“The younger players have just been waiting behind those seniors for their opportunity. Our JV teams have gone 75-3 over the past three seasons, so the cupboard is not empty.”

Sobolik, a Centennial faculty member since 1998, is the district’s testing coordinator and Pines School’s technology and assessment coordinator.

He taught business education until 2013.

At Mandan (N.D.) High School, he was in football and basketball, along with Legion baseball. He played second base for Mandan’s state Legion championship team.

His coaching credits also include softball

New head coach Jamie Sobolik has been assistant coach for six seasons, in two different stints, with the Cougars.

assistant at University of North Dakota and at Centennial.

Sobolik said he been telling his returning players that they, like himself, can’t be worried

about comparisons. They will be stepping into roles vacated by graduations of luminaries like Division I recruits Taylor McAulay and Sara Stapleton this year, and

Sydney Stapleton and Claire Orth last year.

His message to them: “We’re not asking you to be the next McAulay or Stapleton. We just want you to be the best you.”

Legion squad absorbs some low-run losses

651-644-6659 saintsbaseball.com

Lino Lakes Legion baseball has a 13-6 record after starting the season 8-0. That includes 9-2 in conference play with a chance to finish first depending on how the fare against Elk River and Coon Rapids this week.

“Teams noticed we’d been scoring a lot of runs and we started to see their best pitchers,” coach Matt Youngquist said. “Also, we were seeing more left-handers because we are left-handed

(batters) heavy.”

The Cougars beat Tri-City Blue 12-0 last Thursday evening, as Michael Schneider pitched four shutout innings while Casey Trapp’s two-run triple was the offensive highlight. “Somebody finally didn’t throw their lefty ace against us,” Youngquist said.

Pitching has been solid for Lino Lakes as well, from TJ Harmon, Zach Streit, Dave Janssen, Jaxon Waldvogel and Andy Mathies.

Lino Lakes first loss was against Andover 2-1. They went 2-2 in a Mankato tournament, losing to Owatonna and Wayzata, and beating Mankato and Sleepy Eye. Then they split a pair of low-run games, losing to Maple Grove 2-1 and beating Armstrong 1-0.

In the Gopher Classic last weekend, Lino Lakes lost to a Rapid City (South Dakota) team 4-2, beat Napoleon (Ohio) 4-0, and lost to Chanhassen 7-2.

Council denies 2 variances in St. Clair Estates neighborhood

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — The City Council unanimously voted to deny two variances in the St. Clair Estates neighborhood at its July 8 meeting.

The first variance was for curb cut/driveway width and the second one for impervious surface coverage.

Driveway width variance denied City Planner Katie Larsen explained the property owner submitted a land use application for a curb cut/driveway width variance requesting a 34-foot curb cut/ driveway width be allowed. Currently, city ordinance allows for a maximum width of 26 feet.

According to the city, Sharper Homes was issued a building permit in May 2018 to construct a new home at 6626 Enid Trail in the St. Claire Estates subdivision.

The certificate of survey submitted with the building permit indicated a proposed curb cut/driveway width at the right-of-way line of 25.5 feet. Larsen said the grading asbuilt survey dated Nov. 1, 2018 indicated the constructed curb cut/ driveway width at 34 foot, 8 feet wider than allowed.

The parcel is a 16,139-square-foot corner lot on a platted cul-desac. The paved road and curb are approximately 60 feet from the lot (right-of-way) line. The existing driveway is 34 feet wide at the property line and tapers to 20 feet at the curb. “There are four lots that have the same situation and they all have compliant driveways,” Larsen said.

Since March 2018, the city has held builders’ workshops in early spring to educate builders/ contractors on the city's ordinance.

On June 12, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously voted to recommend the council deny the variance. “I could completely see (granting a variance) if they physically couldn't have a driveway that was compliant and functional, but the plans submitted clearly show a functional and compliant driveway is possible,” Larsen said.

Councilman Michael Manthey explained, “The amount is off compared to what we have seen in the past. When we have given chances for an opportunity to stay with what they have, it has been only inches compared to feet. This was a very big mistake,” he said. Larsen added the

council has previously granted driveway width variances for 8 inches and 2 feet, but never 8 feet.

“We really didn't have a play in how this driveway was constructed ... I don't know why it got put in the way it did, but we did not direct the builder to put in a bigger driveway,” property owner Adam Neeck explained. “We understand ordinances and the reasons for a specific driveway ... all of these reasons for the ordinance don't necessarily comply for our specific situation.”

Adam's wife Rebecca added, “The big difference (between the comparable driveway and our driveway) is the functionality, which is my best guess for why the pavers put the driveway in the way they did, because (with) the comparable you come straight into the house and into the driveway.

Ours, there is no possible way to come in straight from the cul-de-sac.”

Mayor Jeff Reinert said, “If that was my house, I would probably be arguing the same point you are making.

Our issue is everything we do is setting a precedent for everything that can be done and argued in the future. So if somebody else comes in and doesn't have this unique situation, they will say, well, you did it for them. It is hard to then argue against that.”

Rebecca wondered whether the city would consider creating a maximum width for a four-car garage, versus two- or three-car garages. Reinert said he would support having that conversation, but Community Development Director Michael Grochala explained that most cities have a set driveway width regardless of the size of the garage.

“We allow the driveway to be as wide as the garage once it is on the property.

It is a requirement that it nets downward as it approaches the public right of way to

Overlay ordinance allows for a maximum impervious surface coverage of 30%.

Sharper Homes submitted a building permit application in April to construct a new 5,030-square-foot home (2,512-squarefoot basement and 2,518-square-foot main floor). Larsen explained the approved grading plan for the lot included a house pad measuring 65 feet in width by 55 feet in depth with the garage/driveway on the south side. The proposed house plan is 64 feet in width by 75 feet in depth with the garage/driveway on the north. This creates more impervious surface.

Councilman Rob Rafferty said, “The houses are getting larger and the lots

a uniform width. We want that uniform width regardless of garage size,” Grochala explained.

Following denial of the variance, Grochala said they would like to see the problem corrected this construction season.

Reinert directed city staff to continue working with the property owners on the best solution to bring the driveway into compliance.

Additional impervious surface denied The property owner of 6650 Enid Trail, Sharper Homes, submitted a land use application for an impervious surface coverage variance. The company is requesting an impervious surface coverage of 43.7% be allowed, but the city’s Shoreland Management

are getting smaller ... putting a 2,500-squarefoot home on a lot that size, that's a lot.”

Manthey added, “In the early stages of this development, there was a lot of back and forth about how many lots to squeeze into that property and we did our best to be pretty openminded about the size and how many lots we would need. For them to now come back to us and try to put a house on a lot that should be twice as big ... in my mind, that is just crazy.”

Kari Clark, of Sharper Homes, said, “My client worked for six to eight months dreaming up this house and so when we learned that it didn't comply, that is when the discussions came about to ask for the variance.

The real hardship is that

I am on a contract with a client and we didn't know that this ordinance was going to hit. We built at least eight houses in this development that didn't hit the 30%.” She added, “What I was proposing to do with this variance is to do a pervious driveway and sidewalk; that will get us down to 34.7%. It would get us a substantial amount of the way there, more along the lines of the other eight that were approved accidentally.”

Larsen said pavers and raingardens are not conditions that would apply to the variance.

“It is true there were several homes built that were slightly over the 30%, not 40% or 43.7%.

Pavers, raingardens, stormwater ... they are just not relevant to this lot. There are other lots that are 10,800 square feet that do have compliant homes on them.”

The variance was ultimately denied.

Manthey said, “We love big beautiful homes, but this lot just can't handle that one. We don't want to be taking away from people making their dream home, but putting it on a lot that is too small isn't good for the city.”

Music in the Park founder is Fete des Lacs grand marshal

29 annual Fete des Lacs sports ‘Tribute to the Troops’ theme th

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

CENTERVILLE — This year's Fete des Lacs grand marshal was selected not only because of his many years of service to the city, but also because the festival committee wanted to recognize a veteran in honor of this year's festival theme, “Tribute to the Troops.”

Tom Lee, who grew up in St. Paul, moved to Centerville in September 1998. He explained his choice: “I worked in Lino Lakes, so every time I would go to work, I would drive through here and I would see kids playing out in yards. We wanted our kids to grow up in a neighborhood. There was a lot of kids and there was a sense of community,” Lee said. “We wanted a place that our kids could always consider their hometown, and this was it.”

While Lee was on the City Council (2003-2010), he served as the Parks and Recreation Committee liaison.

“I realized that there was a whole lot of musical talent in this area. There are probably six bands within walking distance of my house and a couple other musicians,” Lee recalled. “I thought it would be neat to do a Music in the Park, but I didn't want to spend any tax dollars to do it. Being on the council, I was pretty aware of where money Tom Lee went.”

That's where Pat Branch, then Parks and Recreation chair, came in. He dreamed up the idea to host Run des Lacs 8K/5K and have the proceeds from the event go toward the next year's Music in the Park.

Music in the Park is now in its 11th season and has had performers who were contestants on “The Voice” and “Star Search.”

“It has been fun creating it, getting it going and watching it develop,” Lee said. Music has always been near and dear to Lee's heart, as he has been playing in bands on and off since he was 14. Back in the ’80s, he was trying to make a living playing in

“One of the city’s overarching goals for the past two years has been community outreach. As part of our effort to engage our community, we have made efforts to become a designated Purple Heart Community as well as a Yellow Ribbon City.”

T

his year's Fete des Lacs “Festival of Lakes” marks the 29th annual celebration in Centerville. While many popular attractions remain this year, some new attractions have been added to the docket.

The celebration is sure to offer something for everybody with traditions such as Music in the Park, Public Safety Night, Bald Eagle Water Ski Show, kickball and softball tournaments, fireworks, 8K/5K/Kids Run, Paddle des Lacs, KidsFest and the parade.

In addition to Public Safety Night (from 6 to 8 p.m. July 17) staples including bike rodeo, K-9 unit demonstrations and Anoka County Emergency Management drone and fire trailer demonstrations, the event will also feature a new helmet safety booth put on by the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) and Cub Scout Pack 432. The booth will include free helmet fittings by a professional helmet fitter plus new, free helmets for kids of all ages. CLPD and Pack 432 will also host Bike with a Cop at 6 p.m. July 18, starting out at St. Genevieve Parish Community Center.

New events this year include a medallion hunt; Gametruck, a unique mobile video gaming theater, from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday; Quad

Area Chamber of Commerce Business Expo from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday; and a classic car show presented by Cops n Rodders from 1-5 p.m. Saturday.

A couple of businesses are stepping up to host new events too: Wholesome Health will sponsor a fitness obstacle course from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, and Rumble Motorsports will host a HiSun UTV test ride event from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.

This year's theme is “Tribute to the Troops.”

The Fete des Lacs committee came up with the idea because it wanted to demonstrate its support of deployed servicemen and servicewomen.

“One of the city’s overarching goals for the past two years has been community outreach.

As part of our effort to engage our community, we have made efforts to become a designated Purple Heart Community as well as a Yellow Ribbon City,” explained City Administrator/ Engineer Mark Statz. “We feel that reaching out to our veterans in the community, to support them in any way we can, is a great first step in our community outreach initiative. We thought that it might be fitting to highlight our troops this year with our parade and festival theme.”

“Certainly with our theme this year, we wanted to pick a veteran or active duty member of our military.

Tom has a distinguished military career, which, in and of itself, could have qualified him to be our grand marshal. Tom has an impressive history of direct service to his community...For the past 10 years, Tom has, almost single-handedly, run the city’s Music in the Park program. Tom has lots of great connections to performers and is always able to get great talent to our shows. Off and on over the years, we’ve called upon Mr. Lee to line up a headliner act for the festival.”

Mark Statz City Administrator the band. At that point, he notes, the hard drug scene blew up.

“I thought my band was immune to it, but one day I walked into the studio and my drummer was shooting up. I grabbed my gear, hung my guitar on the wall and it stayed there for 10 years.”

In addition to establishing the city's Music in the Park program, Lee has pretty much served on “everything but the Planning and Zoning Commission,” including the Parks and Recreation Committee, the Police Governing Board, Fire Steering Committee, and Development Committee. He and his family also organized the Fete des Lacs parade for many years.

Lee served in the U.S. Marines from 1981-1985. While in the military, Lee served three back-to-back deployments in Korea and a tour in Lebanon.

When City Administrator Mark Statz called to see if Lee would serve as this year's grand marshal, Lee was pretty reluctant to say yes. “It's an honor, but I am a little uncomfortable with the recognition. It is not why I do what I do,” Lee explained. “I wasn't going to do it at fi rst because I felt a little odd about it, but how many times do you get the opportunity to do that? Probably once. There are a lot of other deserving people that should be recognized.”

As grand marshal, Lee will ride in the Fete des Lacs parade at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 20.

t this year's Fete des Lacs celebration July 16-21 in Centerville, attendees will have the opportunity to win a handcrafted canoe paddle.

Paddle des Lacs will be from noon to 2 p.m.

Sunday, July 21, at Trail Side Park on Centerville Lake. This year's event is hosted by the Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee, Bending Branches, Sandborn Canoe and the Wargo Nature Center.

Paddle des Lacs will feature canoe, kayak and paddleboard races. Although the free event is set up in a racing format, people of all ages and fitness levels are welcome to attend.

Sanborn Canoe Company and Bending Branches Paddle Company have donated handcrafted designer canoe paddles to be given out in a drawing to Paddle des Lacs participants. Sandborn Canoe Company, based out of Winona, donated two Minnewashta handcrafted, ultra-lightweight paddles. The Minnewashta paddle is made out of cedar and aspen wood for a lightweight, durable paddle. One of the paddles is specifically designed for youth paddlers.

Bending Branches, based out of Osceola, Wisconsin, donated an Explorer Plus performance canoe paddle. The Explorer Plus is a longtime favorite, known for beat-me-up durability, for both wilderness tripping and flatwater paddling.

“A longstanding objective of the Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee is to introduce city residents and neighbors to the many recreational opportunities offered in Centerville,” said Pat Branch, Paddle des Lacs coordinator.

During the Paddle des Lacs event, the Wargo Nature Center will offer free voyager canoe rides to spectators, which is a great opportunity for families or friends who are not inclined to paddle their own boats but still want to get out on the water. The voyager canoe is a reproduction of a traditional canoe used by early French fur trappers. The canoe can hold up to 20 passengers; paddles and life jackets will be provided.

Participants will be required to wear a life jacket, and children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. If you are interested in paddling but do not have your own boat, a kayak can be rented on a first-come, first-served basis from My Wahoo Adventures. Register at midwestevents.com to reserve a kayak or to reserve your spot on the voyager canoe.

QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS

JULY 16, 2019 www.presspubs.com

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at its July 9 meeting: â&#x20AC;˘ Heard from Councilman Dean Goldberg, who relayed that his favorite session at the recent League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference was on the topic of city sustainability.

He suggested the city should consider joining the GreenStep Cities program. See this week's Quad Community Press for the full story.

Heard from Councilman Matt Percy, who also attended the annual conference and said his favorite session

was on the topic of running more effective meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One idea I loved is for special meetings, such as our street reconstruction meetings, you should serve some sort of food or drink,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing gets people in the door faster than when they can have something to eat or drink. Antonen said the city would give that a try at the next street reconstruction meeting for the 2020 project, which will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 1, at City Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will bring some cookies and punch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved the consent agenda, which included June 25 meeting

minutes, licenses and general fund, police and fi re disbursements. â&#x20AC;˘ Received a presentation from Metropolitan Council Member (District 10) Peter Lindstrom, who, before being appointed to the Met Council a few months ago, served on the Falcon Heights City Council for two terms as well as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor for 12 years.

Lindstrom explained some of the things the Met Council is involved with. He said he also wanted to make the council aware of some grants the city might be eligible to receive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pick up the phone, send me an email. I pride myself on being

responsive and being visible. I want to make sure you are aware of grant opportunities and that you make me aware of any issues you may be having with the Met Council or things I should generally be aware of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;˘ Approved pay voucher No. 3 for $14,136 to G.F. Jedlicki Inc. for the iron enhanced sand fi lter project. Antonen explained the project is around 87% complete, and final grading and startup still remains.

There will be extra cost involved with the project to remove sediment that has collected in the ditch, however. Antonen said the Rice Creek Watershed District

would likely help with some of the cost, since it is the authority responsible for maintaining the Anoka County ditch.

The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, July 23, at City Hall.

Chamberlain and White Bear Chamber discuss government affairs

Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) attended a questionand-answer session July 1 at Hugo City Hall. Also pictured are Hugo Mayor Tom Weidt and Councilman Phil Klein.

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

HUGO — Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) joined members of the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce on Monday, July 1, at Hugo City Hall for a question-and-answer session on legislative priorities.

Questions covered a range of state, regional and local issues, but primarily focused on tax revenue, transportation and infrastructure. Thanks to the transportation funding bill passed by the state Legislature in 2017, Chamberlain said, “There's a lot of money out there for

roads and bridges. The number we have for total infrastructure, transportation spending is about $8 billion over the next few years. So, it's significant money.”

Chamberlain also voiced concern about the Rush Line Rapid Transit Project, a proposed 14-mile transit route that would run from downtown White Bear Lake to downtown St. Paul.

“We need good public transportation in the northeast (metro) here but putting a stupid ramp and bus stop in the middle of downtown White Bear Lake is the most insane idea

SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The question-and-answer session, hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, focused on legislative priorities.

I've ever heard of. It's contemporary modern thinking: let's take a pearl and a gem of the metro area and let's destroy it with 90 buses a day, and all that stuff spewing out,” he said.

“With all this space out here, we need to be served, but jamming something like that (in downtown White Bear Lake) is just insanity.”

Several questions were asked about additional revenue for commercial rail. Chamberlain acknowledged the importance of rail, particularly throughout Minnesota history, but said that he could not guarantee that funding

could be secured within the next legislative session.

“It's certainly something that can be looked at, but I'm just going to be honest: I'm not going to promise

that I'm going to go out there and support $50 (million) to $100 million to hand out to large rail companies to repair their tracks,” he said.

“It's an important part of our infrastructure,

but we have to make choices, right? Bike paths or rail lines? Rail lines or roads?...There are limits of what we can do and what the priorities are.”

Congratulations!

It really heated up this past week and along with the heat came the humidity. Sunday many thermometers topped off at 90Âş and if not for a nice breeze, it was a tough day for outdoor strenuous work. A day better spent relaxing or visiting your favorite lake. Even mowing the lawn I worked up a pretty good sweat. Thunderstorms ranged across the Twinplex and state on Sunday, some turning severe. I only experienced some wind and light rain totals while others totaled more. It was a nice lightning show to the south and northeast on Sunday night. The jet stream is riding high into Canada so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to be hot and humid with slow-moving storms. Garden Note: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m picking raspberries like crazy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked a few wild blueberries during my trail running and it looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still a week away from ready.

HUGE SAVINGS!

I have been providing friendly, patient and educational computer assistance in homes and small business since 2003. No need to carry your computer into a store, (I come to your home or office.)

I can help you in our home. Enjoy your computer more. I’ll tune it up and answer all you questions.

I can add the new wireless printer, connect your ipad to the Internet, and everything in between.

Consider giving a gift of my time to your parents. I can make the computer more fun for them too.

I am a good option for your office. I can add a new computer to your network or POS, and be the person that calls the ISP or offsite tech support when you don’t want to do. I can even set up a website for you.

Especially for Seniors, I am very patient. I understand that sometimes it’s not easy, even if your kids say it is. I will answer your questions over and over, and I will never make you feel foolish or bad about what you don’t know.

I look forward to working with you. SENIOR-FRIENDLY, DEAF-FRIENDLY

GREENSTEP CITY: Circle Pines will be recognized for sustainability FROM PAGE 1

This year 127 cities are participating in the GreenStep Cities program. This graph depicts how many cities were on steps 1-4 from 2011 to 2019.

decided by city elected officials, staff and community members, by completing one or more actions from a list of four to eight actions to a 1-, 2or 3-star level. The voluntary actions are tailored to all Minnesota cities, focus on cost savings and energy use reduction and encourage civic innovation.

In fall 2007, Minnesota's Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) held regional listening sessions around the state to discuss community-based energy opportunities and the state's Next Generation Energy Act of 2007.

The idea of creating a free sustainable cities program that would challenge, assist and recognize cities that were "green stars" was born.

This idea was taken up by the 2008 Legislature, which directed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the Division of Energy Resources at the Minnesota Department of Commerce, and CERTs to recommend actions that cities could elect to take on a voluntary basis. Representatives from cities, nonprofit organizations, businesses and state government agencies provided the outline for the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program, which began in June 2010.

Mayor Dave Bartholomay said the city looked into the program when it was fi rst established, but never joined.

“We do a lot of these things already. It might be a good idea to join the group and see how far we already are and what we can do to get a little further,” he said.

Antonen explained city staff had already contacted the GreenStep

Cities program and were waiting to hear back on what “step” they qualify for with all the city has done and continues to do to be sustainable.

Antonen was hopeful the city could jump to step 3.

Some green steps the city has already taken include: The ongoing iron enhanced sand fi lter project.

Converting streetlights to LEDs along with lights at the public works facility; next to convert will be City Hall. The city's monument sign is also LED. The installation of three infi ltration basins.

Water reuse system at Baldwin Park.

The city's extensive park/trail system.

Councilwoman Jennifer Rauner said, “It is great to join a group like that and let our surrounding communities take the information that we have learned with the stuff that we have done and start to implement that in their cities. It highlights why Circle Pines is a great city to live in, because we do all these things that people might not be aware of.”

Goldberg noted that by joining the program, “It makes our citizens aware of the good work we are doing and it puts sustainability on our radar and forces us to continue to look at it, analyze it and think about what we want to do moving forward.”

APOLLO 11 ANNIVERSARY: Remembering moon landing 50 years later FROM PAGE 1

Fifty years later, Emert is still fascinated by the moon and the cosmos. A member of the Minnesota Astrological Society, he’s leading the club’s efforts to build a full-size mock-up of the Apollo 11 landing site and the Lunar Module Eagle, which will be showcased at the Eagle Lake Observatory in Baylor Regional Park during the Astrological Society’s moon landing anniversary celebration July 20 and again Aug. 2-4.

“While the (lunar module) didn’t have a lot of room inside for the astronauts, I’m beginning to realize that thing is huge on the outside,” Emert said.

Roberta Weems, of Vadnais Heights, was 12 at the time of the moon landing.

“It’s hard to remember if I watched it live on TV, and I remember that or if I remember the replays from later,” she admitted. But, while she wishes she personally remembered more, she does, at least, recall her dad’s stories about his role in the Apollo missions.

Weems’ father, Bob Oulicky, served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Thanks to all he learned about technology and engineering throughout the war, he later landed a job with Sperry-Univac (now known as Unisys).

“He was a part of the team that developed the system that was used in the moon landing,” Weems said.

Throughout the Apollo moon missions, NASA’s tracking stations used Univac computers to communicate with astronauts back on Earth.

Like Emert, White Bear Lake resident Joann Thompson watched the moon landing unfold on CBS. She and her family were vacationing on Lake Michigan at the time.

“I remember watching on a 13-inch, black and white TV with rabbit ear antenna. We set it up in the front upstairs bedroom facing Lake Michigan to try to get good reception across the water from Wisconsin,” she said. “Of course, by today’s standards, that reception wasn’t that good at all.”

Thompson said the astronauts’ excitement was palpable—and contagious. “We (my two sisters and I) all started jumping up and down once the landing had occurred,” she remembered. “I was thrilled as an almost 10-year-old.”
