LEXINGTON- The Lexington City Council members listened attentively while representatives from Centennial Schools gave their annual report on the state of the schools in the district at the Sept. 6 meeting.

Scott Johnson, executive director of teaching and learning, provided testing statistics that paint an excellent picture of Centennial Schools. Annual math and reading scores were 12.7 percent and 7.8 percent higher respectively than the statewide average. Overall, the district’s annual test scores were 15.7 percent higher than the statewide average and fouryear graduation rates are at 94.7 percent.

Centennial Elementary School Principal Kathy Kaiser talked about the use of a program called Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS). PBIS is a different way to treat students with behavioral problems.

Instead of punishing them for their behavior, they focus on re-teaching them in an effort to change their behavior. Teachers try to congratulate students five times a day for positive behavior.

The Advancement Via Individual Determination Program (AVID) is used to help middle school and high school students prepare for college. Students in the program commit themselves to improvement and preparation for higher education. “Sixth graders are in the program for the fi rst time this year,” said Middle School Principal Bob Stevens.

After two medical mission trips to Zambia, a Lino Lakes resident has not only changed the lives of others, but developed a new perspective on life.

Monica Stoesz has been a nurse at Abbott Northwestern Hospital since 1995. As a Christian and nurse, a medical mission trip has always been on her bucket list.

Fall Festival just around the corner

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LEXINGTON — Now that summer is over and children are back in school, the Lexington Fall Festival is fast approaching.

This year's celebration will be held Sept. 21-23 and will be “the best year yet,” according to Heidi Zaworski, Cowboy Saloon’s operations manager. This will mark the third annual celebration.

A new event this year will be an outdoor movie shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Tree of Life Assembly of God Church, located at 3905 Woodland Road. For those who know Pastor Troy

Fields, it is no surprise that the movie selection is “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” as he is a self-proclaimed Star Wars geek.

After the Fall Festival Committee sent out the outdoor movie idea and said they were looking for someone to host/sponsor the event, Fields glady stepped up.

“I believe that the church is supposed to be the center of the community, and as far as I know, we are the only church in Lexington,” he explained. “If we engage the world with love instead of finger-pointing, we might actually get somewhere.”

chased an inflatable screen for an outreach program and Fields said he was glad to put it to good use.

Other new activities this year include different inflatables than in past years, Yoga in the Park (10 a.m. on Sunday) and Waterball, hosted by the Lexington Fire Department at noon on Saturday.

Friday's schedule includes a Broadway Builders ribbon-cutting, pasta dinner, ice cream social and live music.

Saturday's schedule will feature games, dunk tank, petting zoo, business/art and crafts showcase, climbing wall, Lions booya, music, fire department open house and a

street dance.

On Sunday, there will be a Vikings party and bingo.

Zaworski said the festival is still in need of additional volunteers and support as well as vendors including businesses, nonprofit organizations and arts and crafts for the showcase Saturday.

In 2016, Stoesz went on her first trip to Zambia and returned again in August 2018. Both times, Stoesz went on the trip with her church Bethlehem Baptist in Mounds View and worked with Action International Ministries, particularly the ministry project Churches Ready to Overcome Silence and Stigma (CROSS).

The project exists to disciple and equip Zambian churches with the knowledge and application of the word of God in their response to issues of HIV/AIDS and domestic abuse.

According to Action International Ministries, HIV/AIDS impacts the entire nation. Fifteen percent of Zambians are HIV-positive with a 20-25 percent urban HIV infection, and only 28 percent of adults know their HIV status. Life expectancy at birth is around 50 years old.

There are many factors that contribute to the spread of HIV in Zambia such as marital unfaithfulness, domestic violence and lack of concern for orphans and widows.

“They are trying to help them get past the stigma so they take their medications, get tested, get treatment... so they get help they need,” Stoesz explained.

While in Zambia, Stoesz put on 12 workshops for roughly 120 people who were bussed in from area churches to learn about wound care, particularly how to take care of cuts, burns and bed sores.

Other workshops also included topics such as hand washing, washing clothes and dishes and brushing teeth. “They are basic concepts that we teach our kids here by the time they fi nish

Locals also learned about how to give someone a bed bath if they are too sick to get out of bed, how to change the linen underneath them, how to reposition them or transfer them from a bed to a chair, nutrition, dehydration and end of life.

“I was trying to teach them how to take care of that with the resources that they have, that’s the tricky part,” Stoesz explained. “A lot of people there don’t even have Tylenol or Ibuprofen, so it is all about how they can help with the pain by using things like massage, talking to them, reading scripture to them, praying with them and singing songs to them.”

She added, “The people who came to these classes were so thrilled to have this information. Either they walked away fi lled with the joy of just soaking in all of the information, or there would be that sadness because they wish they would’ve known that earlier and perhaps their loved one would still be here.”

Even after the workshops are done,

Stoesz said there is a ripple effect, as the people who participated in the workshops then go back to their communities and share the knowledge with people they know and the message continues to spread.

It is very beautiful,” she said.

As to whether Stoesz will return to Zambia, she said “that is in God’s hands.” Stoesz encourages everyone to get out of their comfort zone and be a blessing to others, whether that means simply giving up a cup of coffee to donate money or going abroad on EVERY TIME YOU USE YOUR AHCU SPIRIT DEBIT CARD a mission.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council discussed the following at its Sept. 4 work session: • City Engineer Diane Hankee explained city staff had met with city of Hugo staff members on the topic of improvements to Cedar Street East and Elmcrest Avenue (24th Avenue). Both streets have sections of road that are gravel and are at or near the border of Lino Lakes and Hugo.

Hankee said the gravel sections of the roadways would require additional maintenance due to the high volume of traffic, and that both roadways have also generated a lot of complaints from local residents. The proposed concept is that Lino Lakes would reconstruct Cedar Street East from Otter Lake Road to the city border (just west of Jardin Avenue) and Hugo would pave Elmcrest Avenue from Tart Lake Road south approximately 2,300 feet to the edge of the existing pavement just north of Bald Eagle Lake. Lino Lakes prepared a cost estimate for the reconstruction of Cedar Street East in 2017, which was $1.62 million and $105,000 for sanitary sewer extension. The estimated cost for Elmcrest Avenue, according to Hugo, is $250,000.

Mayor Jeff Reinert said he was more than okay with splitting costs with Hugo for the Elmcrest project, but wanted to have further conversations and details on the Cedar Street project.

• Hankee presented the fi ndings of the geotechnical evaluations of two sites for a potential 1.5-million-gallon water tower. The two sites include one city-owned property at Birch Street and Centerville Road near Fire Station No. 2 or private property along Holly Drive and Holly Court.

The Birch Street and Centerville Road site is estimated to cost $4.50 million and is located close to an existing 16-inch trunk watermain. The Holly Drive site is estimated to cost $4.91 million and would require both a water main extension down Holly Drive as well as land acquisition from the private owner.

The city's recommendation, Hankee said, is to go with the Birch Street and Centerville Road location and move on to the final design phase of the project.

The council agreed with the staff's recommendation.

• The city of Lino Lakes conducted a self-evaluation of its current transportation infrastructure, as required by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The evaluation examines the condition of the city’s pedestrian routes and identifies potential need for infrastructure improvements, which includes curb ramps and bicycle/pedestrian trails, Hankee noted. WSB & Associates has prepared an ADA transition plan to highlight the city’s policies and goals to provide accessible pedestrian design

features. The plan also outlines a strategy for Council member the city to address the improvements of its City Mayor annual salary annual salary current facilities, which includes an estimated budget and timeline for updating pedestri$5,500 Forest Lake $6,500 an routes and infrastructure improvements.

Duchenne Awareness Day Sept. 7 was World Duchenne Awareness Day. The 7th day of the 9th month representing the 79 exons of the dystrophin gene; mutations of the dystrophin gene are responsible for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy According to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), Duchenne affects one in every 3,500 male births and a rare number of

females, each year there are 20,000 new cases diagnosed, 54 each day worldwide.

A mutation of the dystrophin gene results in progressive muscle loss leading to serious medical problems. Often by the teen years those affected will lose the ability to walk, relying on a wheelchair, sometimes this even happens at a much younger age. As the continuous loss of muscle

strength progresses, this leads to more serious issues relating to the heart and lungs. Those with Duchenne are typically diagnosed in early childhood and on average live into their late twenties.

Duchenne can be passed from parent to child, but approximately 35 percent of cases occur because of a random spontaneous mutation according to MDA. Currently there is some research, but still no approved treatment for all. There is no cure for Duchenne and it is 100 percent fatal.

From press release

Newsprint tariff s reversed

The International Trade Commission voted not to impose permanent tariffs upon the North American newsprint supply.

“The paper markets serving community newspapers can soon begin to move back to market pricing without the heavy hand of government imposing taxes upon the primary suppliers of newsprint,” said National Newspaper Association President Susan Rowell, publisher of the Lancaster (South Carolina) News.

It will take a couple of months for the preliminary tariffs to be unwound and credits to be issued back to those companies who had paid duties at the Canadian border since last January.

Day tripping

A

road trip out west reawakened an appreciation for the vast canopy of sky and beautiful vistas that stretch out for miles into the distance. It felt like whatever angst and worries that were weighing heavily before the journey were gradually shed and symbolically cast off into the wind with the simple act of driving through the open landscape. After traveling across more than a thousand miles of arid and sometimes stark terrain, the return back home provided a fresh and enhanced appreciation for the lush, green, lake- and tree-filled landscape that we are surrounded by on a daily basis.

The relative freedom of youth Angle of allowed me to respond to the strong feelings of wanderlust I experienced in my late teens and into my View mid-twenties. Although I somePaul Dols times felt I was going against the grain of mainstream (and parental) expectations t ti off what I should be doing with my life, I’ve never regretted pursuing and taking advantage of opportunities to travel. I’m still grateful for the experiences and people I met during visits to awe-inspiring places in the United States, Canada, Mexico and various countries overseas including Greece, Italy, Germany, France and the U.K. I believe that a combination of youthful energy, trust and timing were at play, but looking back I’m still amazed at how many of the people I met while traveling — in both in the United States and overseas — were open and willing to share information and even invite me into their lives.

After an off-season December hiking trip down into the Grand Canyon, I experienced car trouble in Flagstaff, Arizona. While waiting at the shop for the repair prognosis, the phone rang and the man behind the counter said it was for me. I found this rather perplexing because in the pre-cellphone era, the odds of anyone knowing my location were infinitesimally small. To my surprise, a woman who I’d earlier had a brief conversation with when she stopped at the shop, was calling to offer assistance while I waited for my car to be repaired. As it turned out, the part needed to complete the repair was not immediately available, so I gratefully accepted her help; she and her friends and extended family offered me exceptionally kind and generous hospitality. A couple of years later, while traveling in northern Greece, the photographer in the village I was visiting graciously introduced me to local residents and also invited me along to learn and help him photograph a wedding. These are just two of the many examples of kindness and hospitality I experienced while traveling, that greatly outnumber any incidents of rudeness, hostility or conflict.

While I genuinely appreciate the value and benefits of far-flung travel, lately my inclination is to look a little closer to home for travel opportunities.

I firmly believe there are world-class attractions and opportunities right in our own backyard — if you’re willing to look with a fresh perspective.

Working on the autumn edition of Savour magazine, a quarterly magazine produced by Press Publications, this perspective was reaffirmed.

While helping to compile and produce pages dedicated to celebrating creativity and promoting local vineyards, orchards, restaurants and businesses, it became apparent that the abundance of activities, destinations and events within a short drive throughout this area are undeniably impressive.

However, within this relatively idyllic landscape some patience on the road and neighborly courtesy are essential for all of us. If you happen to live near a popular destination, it’s probably reasonable to expect temporary traffic delays from time to time during the high season; and if you’re visiting one of these destinations in our communities, please remember that you’re probably driving through someone’s neighborhood.

F

ree speech has been in the news again this past week on both ends of the spectrum. Alex Jones, a radio and internet host, was banned

by Apple, Facebook, Spotify and YouTube this past week. Jones is considered by some to be a “conservative and conspiracy theorist.” Jones believes the mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary was staged. Jones was banned for promoting violence and hate speech.

The Guardian reported Facebook unpublished four pages run

by Jones for “repeated violations of community standards.” YouTube terminated Jones’s account over him repeatedly appearing in videos despite being subject to a 90-day ban from the website, and Spotify removed the entirety of one of Jones’s podcasts for “hate content.”

Social media sites are coming under pressure resulting from revelations that groups involved with foreign nations used their platforms to manipulate and

influence the 2016 presidential election. Jones was banned by violating “community standards” clauses in user agreements that we all agree to, but very few of us ever read.

Players from high school to college to the pros are hard at work on and off the field, learning plays and building up their endurance. Unfortunately, the return of professional football has brought the return of the political hot potato regarding what players do or don’t do during the national anthem.

Disrespecting one of our finest senators

A local Holiday Gas Station, Dairy Queen, prison, banks and the post office all lowered their f lags to half staff to honor the passing of Sen. John McCain, but a local police department could not. The city leaders of that area should be ashamed of themselves. How do you justify disrespecting a retired captain of the United States Navy, a former prisoner of war of the Vietnam War, a great American and one of the finest senators that our country will see?

Cougar gridders ‘grew a lot’ and stymied Totino-Grace 14-6 in week two

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial Cougars defeated Totino-Grace 14-6 on Friday evening, Sept.

7, marking the second straight year they’ve won against one of the metro area’s top football programs.

The Cougars (1-1) bounced back from a 28-27 opening loss to White Bear Lake with a stellar defensive performance against the Eagles.

“We are a very young team. We’ve only got four starters back from last year,” coach Mike Diggins said. “I think that hurt us against White Bear Lake. The kids grew a lot over the week and improved quite a bit.”

Connor Zulk passed to Cooper Anderson for two touchdowns, from 10 yards on a fourth-down hitch-and-go, and 78 yards on a deep play-action pass, both in the first half. Zulk also kicked two

conversions.

T-G had a scoring pass from Kristoff Kowalkowski to Sam Quick from 15 yards. The Cougars, up 14-6 at the half, made the lead stick in a scoreless second half, giving up just 153 net yards in the game.

“We moved the ball well and I think we actually should have been ahead 28-0,” Diggins said. “We were inside the five three times where we came away with no points.”

Totino-Grace, with eight state championships between 2004 and 2016, is a longtime metro power. The Eagles are 0-2 this year, also losing to No. 3 ranked Cretin-Derham Hall 22-21 in overtime.

Last year, Centennial beat the Eagles 25-17, also in week two. Centennial fi nished 8-2 and Totino-Grace 6-4. Diggins noted that this year’s Eagles lineup is quite young like Centennial’s.

CENTENNIAL: Talks levy with Lexington City Council FROM PAGE 1

Human Resources Director Dan Melde also spoke to the council. Melde told the council that the district hasn’t had an operational increase in 13 years, which has required the district to make numerous cuts.

As reported previously, this fall taxpayers will see two levy questions on the ballot. Question #1 will ask voters to approve an operational increase at $650 per pupil, for 10 years. Question

#2 deals with capital expenditures and asks for $22,215,000 over a 20-year period to address safety and security at the high school as well as other building improvements. Question #2 cannot pass unless voters approve Question #1.

Mayor Mark Kurth asked, “If it doesn’t pass, what’s the option?” Melde responded, “If we don’t have that operational increase Centennial will continue to cut.”

Minnesota replaces No Child Left Behind with North Star program The Minnesota Department of Education recently recognized 526 public schools across the state as top performers in multiple areas of progress in school performance.

The recognition is a key part of the state’s new North Star accountability system that aims to create more equitable and well-rounded learning opportunities for all students across the state.

Using data from the five key indicators that make up North Star— achievement and progress on state reading and math tests over time, progress toward English language proficiency, graduation rates and consistent attendance — the state is better able to identify and learn from schools that consistently perform at high levels across multiple domains.

The new program replaces the decades-old system based solely on test scores in favor of North Star accountability system that places equity at the center of school support and recognition “For over 20 years, we have relied far too much on test scores as the sole measure of school performance,” said Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “This misguided approach has resulted in a status quo that has not only skewed the perception of how our schools are doing but has narrowed and limited opportunities for students to experience a rich and well-rounded education.”

Data released also guided the state in prioritizing 485 schools that will receive varying levels of support over the next three years.

Under North Star, Minnesota will prioritize the highest level of comprehensive support to 47 schools working to improve across multiple measures, and 147 high schools with graduation rates below 67 percent overall or for any individual student group. Schools prioritized for comprehensive support will work with the state’s Regional Centers of Excellence, with experts working hand-in-hand with school leadership teams to assess the unique challenges and needs facing educators and students in a given building.

Center staff provides specialized support to schools in areas including support to English learners, equity, graduation, implementation, math, reading and special education. More targeted support will be provided to 157 schools that may need to focus on a single student group or may need support on just some of the measures. Another 134 schools will have access to additional training and networking opportunities from the Minnesota Department of Education.

The new North Star accountability system was developed over the past two years in partnership with thousands of Minnesotans and dozens of community organizations to satisfy and align requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the state’s World’s Best Workforce law (WBWF), which focuses on supporting districts in meeting locally determined goals. For the fi rst time, the state will identify and provide system-level support to 50 districts and charter schools.

No Child Left Behind included unrealistic goals

Under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, states were required to label schools in varying

degrees of failure, based on the narrow view of student proficiency on standardized tests. Facing public shaming and the threat of closure — and unrealistic goals and timelines — schools received little in the way of support to make real, systemic changes that could yield positive results for students. Minnesota became a leader among states in developing a more coherent accountability system when the federal government approved Minnesota’s NCLB flexibility waiver in 2012, followed by the adoption of a state accountability plan — the World’s Best Workforce — that requires school districts to annually align their budgets and improvement strategies to common statewide goals.

In December 2015, President Obama signed ESSA, and it was enacted as the nation’s new pre-K through grade 12 federal education law. ESSA replaced NCLB, empowering states to develop systems and policies that place a sharp focus on equity and continuous improvement for all students.

The Minnesota Department of Education spent two years working closely with a diverse group of stakeholders, including consultation with Minnesota’s 11 unique sovereign Tribal Nations, to shape the state’s ESSA plan, which resulted in North Star’s creation. The U.S. Department of Education approved Minnesota’s plan in January 2018.

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lexington City Council took the following action at its Sept. 6 meeting: • The council approved the issuance and sale of multi-family housing revenue notes, Series 2018 (pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C), which is another step in moving forward the Landings of Lexington project.

Logan Schmidt, development analyst for Dominion Acquisitions, LLC said that the apartments are designated affordable housing and the current monthly rental amount for the apartments would be $984 for a one-bedroom, $1,178 for a two-bedroom and $1,358 for a three-bedroom apartment.

• The council unanimously approved to a resolution, which would oppose the concept of the sale of strong beer, spirits and wine to be sold for off-premises consumption at any outlet other than the municipal liquor store.

As stated in the resolution, “this is based on the belief that this could cause problems in the city’s youth and at-risk adults of uncontrolled and excessive drinking and subsequent increases in police and public health costs and would be damaging, injurious and otherwise detrimental to the financial status of the Lexington Municipal Liquor Store and the city itself.”

The Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association has encouraged cities in the state to oppose any bill introduced for this initiative. The last time a bill was introduced for this purpose over 120 cities opposed it.

• The council passed a resolution proclaiming Sept. 17-Sept,23 as Constitution Week in Lexington.

George W. Bush officially declared the inception of Constitution Week in September 2002. The purpose of the observance week is to promote study and education about the constitution.

• Approved an entertainment permit for Cowboy’s Saloon for an entertainment permit for the Lexington Fall Festival from Sept. 21-Sept. 23. South Highway Drive will be closed from Restwood Road to Griggs Avenue during festival.

“KIN” (PG-13) [GUN VIOLENCE AND INTENSE ACTION, SUGGESTIVE MATERIAL, LANGUAGE, THEMATIC ELEMENTS, AND DRINKING.] — After the 14-year-old, adopted AfricanAmerican son (Myles Truitt) of a widower (Dennis Quaid) finds a powerful weapon in a dilapidated, abandoned building in Detroit and then goes on the run with his deceitful, ex-con brother (Jack Reynor) in this unusual, wacky, violent, star-studded (Zoë Kravitz, Carrie Coon, and Michael B. Jordan), 102-minute buddy, sci-fi film based on Jonathan and Josh Baker’s 2014 short film “Bag Man,” they unknowingly find themselves on the run from a revengefueled, gun toting drug dealer (James Franco) and his henchman (Ian Matthews, Gavin Fox, et al.) and two mysterious, tenacious, leather-clad soldiers searching for the weapon.

“OPERATION FINALE” (PG-13) [DISTURBING THEMATIC CONTENT AND RELATED VIOLENT IMAGES, AND SOME LANGUAGE.] — Wonderful acting highlights this gutwrenching, factually based, powerful, wellpaced, 123-minute film based on Matthew Orton’s screenplay in which a secret group of Israeli Mossad agents (Oscar Isaac, Lior Raz, Mélanie Laurent, Nick Kroll, Ohad Knoller, et al.) head to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1960 to capture notorious Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann (Ben Kingsley), who was the infamous Nazi architect of the Holocaust, to stand for his WWII crimes in Tel Aviv with the help of a Jewish woman (Haley Lu Richardson) while his desperate son (Joe Alwyn) and devoted wife (Greta Scacchi) search for him.

“REPRISAL” (R) [VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE.] — After a ruthless, gun-toting, skilled bank thief (Johnathon Schaech) robs a bank in Cincinnati and then an armored truck in this run-of-the-mill, violent, predictable, unoriginal, star-dotted (Colin Egglesfield, Wass Stevens, Christopher Rob Bowen, Tyler Jon Olson, and Ken Strunk), 89-minute thriller dominated by a weak plot, poor acting and dialogue, and mediocre special effects, a PTSD-afflicted bank manager (Frank Grillo), who is traumatized by a previous heist that killed a coworker, seeks the help of an ex-cop neighbor (Bruce Willis) to find his family when the robber kidnaps his wife (Olivia Culpo) and diabetic daughter (Natalia Sophie Butler).

Celia Wirth, Computer Support and Repair

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

I can help you in your home. Enjoy your computer more. I’ll tune it up and answer all your 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. I am usually quicker and more affordable than your offsite tech support for those small jobs that 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.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF 408 DWI arrests over Labor Day week weekend

To educate drivers on the dangers of drunk driving and the necessity to plan a safe ride home in advance, a statewide extra enforcement and awareness campaign took place Aug. 17 – Sept. 2.

Preliminary numbers show there were 14 deaths during the two-week extra enforcement period with two alcohol-related fatalities, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. That compares with seven alcohol-related fatalities during the 2017 extra DWI enforcement period. During Labor Day weekend (Friday evening – Tuesday morning), officers, deputies and troopers made 408 DWI arrests, bringing the year-to-date total to 18,130.

70 percent of summer motorcycle

fatalities f t liti nott wearing i helmet h l t During the 100 deadliest days (Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day) on Minnesota roads, preliminary numbers show 116 people lost their lives, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. That’s 52 percent of all traffic fatalities so far in 2018 in Minnesota. The 116 fatalities compared to 121 road deaths for the same time period in 2017.

• At least eight are known to be distraction-related.

• 32 are speed-related.

• 30 are alcohol-related.

• 17 motorists were not wearing their seatbelts.

• 40 were motorcyclists. Of the 40 motorcyclists who died, 28 (70 percent) were not wearing a helmet.

Build. Restore. Renew.

The Mora Public Library is now a bit dressier thanks to five generous Girl Scouts.

Troop 16763 from the Twin Cities area (Blaine, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights) has a group of fi ve middle school girls, known as Juniors in Girl Scouts, working on their Bronze Award.

The Bronze Award is the highest leadership award a Junior Scout can achieve Reaching the award means developing and completing a community-based project that will have a lasting impact.

Their troop leader, Elizabeth Lewen, is friends with the East Central Regional Library’s Assistant Director, Rachel Howell. Lewn was looking for a project for the girls to complete their Bronze Award.

Together they selected the Mora Library to be a recipient of a dress-up cabinet.

The dress-up cabinet holds clothes, costumes and props for children to play with.

The girls found the funds for the materials and built the cabinet themselves. They contributed their own costumes and accessories then brought the cabinet all the way to Mora on Thursday, Aug. 2.
