City employee terminated for performance

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — After quite a bit of discussion, the Circle Pines City Council came to the decision to terminate a city employee’s contract.

The council held a closed session at its Aug. 28 meeting. At the time, City Attorney Shelley Ryan said, “The city received a complaint with allegations of violations of the city’s personnel policy by senior leadership staff.” After the meeting was reopened, Mayor Dave Bartholomay explained that no disciplinary action was taken against the staff member.

At the Sept. 11 meeting, an item to terminate the city’s contract with Finance Director Ronda Dalbec was added to the agenda.

“I was asked to provide a recommendation to the City Council considering termination of Finance Director Ronda Dalbec’s employment that’s based on substandard work performance,” Ryan said. “Prior to today, I forwarded a memo dated Sept. 7 to each of you (mayor and the council). I provided a summary of the factual background of this issue, some pertinent

provisions of the personnel policy and my conclusion or opinion concerning what the city has the authority to do concerning this matter.”

The Quad Community Press requested a copy of the memo. The city attorney stated that the memo contained private data; therefore, in conformance with the Minnesota Data Practices Act, it could not be released to the press. According to the Minnesota Newspaper Association’s Attorney Mark Anfinson, the memo should be public, pursuant to section 13.43, subd. 2(a)(5) of the Data Practices Act, which states that all personnel data related to a disciplinary action is public.

The Quad Community Press did not hear back from Ryan before press deadline.

Ryan explained as part of her fact gathering, she spoke to both City Administrator Patrick Antonen and Assistant City Administrator for Public Services Chandra Peterson to find out, from the city staff’s perspective, what some of Dalbec’s deficiencies are, what the issues are, and information relating to her work responsibilities and conduct.

“I reviewed the personnel policy and under the

policy Mrs. Dalbec is an at-will employee, and an at-will employee can be fired at any time for any or no reason at all. There is additional information that also provides the City Council the authority to make the decision to terminate an employee’s job responsibilities based on substandard work performance, serious misconduct or behavior ... We are focused on substandard job performance,” Ryan explained.

She added, “Based on my review, I have come to the conclusion that the city does have the authority to terminate Mrs. Dalbec under the personnel policy.”

Councilwoman Jennifer Rauner asked how long Dalbec had been employed with the city, when her first review took place and what criteria the city uses to review employees. Councilman Dean Goldberg asked about Dalbec’s first review, as he noted it was “mainly positive.”

Dalbec has worked with the city for just under three years and was given her first review six months into the position by former City Administrator Jim Keinath.

Broadview Builders celebrates remodel

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Strong Kids of Minnesota whose mission is to teach young people how to cook healthy while providing food assistance to families In need.

After teaching community education classes, she realized their was a need for a kids cooking school locally.

In February 2017, the Kids Cooking School opened its doors in a space at 6511 Ware Road in Lino Lakes. The school was known not only for its themed camps while schools were closed and in the summers, but also for its

LEXINGTON — A private construction company that specializes in both commercial and residential projects has moved to town.

Although Broadview Builders officially moved into its new space at 9050 Lake Drive in Lexington in March, it will celebrate its remodel of the space with a ribbon-cutting ceremony from 3:30-5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, as part of Lexington's Fall Festival.

Rocky Radmann, a Shoreview resident, incorporated the company in 2003. His father, Herbert, founded the company in 1954 and ran it until he retired in the 1970s.

“I told him I wanted to start up his business again and he was really happy,” Radmann said. Today, clients can find Herbert's old business cards and a check ledger inside the lobby.

Herbert's company was 100 percent residential, whereas when his son began his company, it was all commercial. “When I was doing all of that commercial work my clients were happy with the work I was doing for them and wanted me to do work in their houses, so at that point I got licensed to do residential work,” Radmann said.

Before finding the property in Lexington, Broadview Builders had an office in Shoreview and a warehouse in Blaine. The two locations are now consolidated on Lake Drive.

Why Lexington? Radmann said it was really happenstance.

Kids Cooking School forced to close its doors

LINO LAKES — After 18 months, the Kids Cooking School in Lino Lakes has had to close its doors.

“I am absolutely heart broken and devastated,” said owner and Lino Lakes resident Tiffany Cavegn. “There were 100 little things that didn't go as planned, and the little things just added up to spending more money each month than we earned.”

BROADVIEW BUILDERS: Focuses on new generation and technology FROM PAGE 1

“We needed outside storage. I was in search for a property with outside storage for about three months. I looked from Minneapolis to Isanti to try to find something that was a good distance and price and I wasn't finding anything,” he explained. “I just happened to stop into the Lexington City Hall and asked if they had a property that had outside storage. They said they had very little outside storage, but there was one property that had an abandoned building on it and my ears perked up.”

City Administrator Bill Petracek said the property had been abandoned by its owner and remained vacant for the past 10 years.

The city was very happy when Broadview came into the picture.

The property needed a lot of work in order to turn it into the space it is now, with allLED lighting, open concept office, showroom and an office space on the lower level available for rent.

Broadview Builders is primarily a commercial general contractor, but also does residential, including new construction and remodels. The company has done projects for clients that include restaurants, entertainment, retail, warehouse shop production, education, health care and housing.

The company remodeled Panino's in North Oaks and a rooftop bar at B-52 in Inver Grove Heights.

“As we grow our business, we are trying to get more new-generation friendly, (with) both high-performance and technology,” Radmann said. “The whole concept behind Broadview is to be accessible for clients who want flexibility and diversity in construction.”

High performance construction, sometimes referred to as green construction, focuses on optimization.

For example, one recent project for a home in Minneapolis included cameras in a

“With the newest generation coming up, it is becoming more (of an) industry standard but not quite there yet,” Radman said.

The company also uses technology to show clients what the project will look like through a virtual tour. For the first time, Broadview recently used a type of virtual reality goggles that allowed the client to see what their new home would look like while walking through the space.

With technology also comes a focus on

efficiency. Isanti resident Joe Schreder has worked with Broadview for almost two years and has 32 years of experience in the industry. His passion is high-performance construction.

The company uses an energy modeling program that calculates the cost of living and operating a structure. A project he is especially excited about is a home in Arden Hills. “The average house that is code compliant would hit 100 HERS; the projected HERS for this house is 37,” he said. A HERS score is the industry gold standard by which a home’s energy efficiency is mea-

sured. The lower the score, the better the energy efficiency and savings.

“Our combined years of experience have helped us to develop a network of vendors, subcontractors and suppliers that allow us to deliver a professional product in a timely manner,” Schreder noted.

CITY EMPLOYEE: Council fires finance director for work performance FROM PAGE 1

“The first review was done by Jim Keinath. It was fairly positive. There were no specific issues, but some areas of concern and things to improve on. When Patrick came on board, he conducted a review and identified issues needing improvement, several of which are listed in the memo,” Ryan said. “There was a subsequent review to that to see if improvement had been made and several of the issues remained and had not improved.”

Councilman Matt Percy summed up what he was hearing. “Starting in 2017 and 2018 there were a number of areas that were improvement areas that were noted. We are all about it is okay to make a mistake, that is how you learn, what is important is that you learn from those mistakes and you improve upon them,” he said. “The gist that I get from this memo is that there has not been improvement from those original areas that were deemed to be a problem. We have 12 different bullet points highlighting different problems with her performance, but I’ll call out lack of knowledge, repeated mistakes in audits and other activities and not performing job duties. Those are very serious issues, so I can see why we would be seeking to terminate employment at this time.”

Percy added he was frustrated at the council’s last budget review meeting a few weeks ago due to an abundance of errors that were in the budget. “I know that personally, that was an issue for me. I was also concerned because I was expecting to see the document that we use to project out our costs for street reconstruction

... and that was not provided either, so that was a disappointment to me,” he said.

“From a personal perspective, I can say that I have seen some of the issues that we are talking about here firsthand.”

Goldberg said he felt the city had given her more than enough time to correct the issues. “I don’t know what city management philosophy is about giving a new employee a chance, but in the corporate world where I come from you generally get a three to six months’ grace period where you are stumbling, you get some guidance about how to improve and we’ve been going on for over two years with this. So it is certainly a fair trial of time.”

Rauner agreed. “You are holding a job, you are set with expectations and those expectations aren’t being met over not only six months but 24 to 36 months. That is quite an extensive amount of time to be able to adjust how you work and getting things done on time,” adding she was also disappointed with all of the errors in the presented budget.

Councilman Mike Schweigert and Bartholomay were also on the same page. “I agree with everything you have all mentioned,” Bartholmoy said. “Based on her (Ryan’s) research into this, I feel this is problematic and we should take care of the problem,” Schweigert added.

Bartholomay ultimately made a motion to terminate Dalbec’s employment with the city effective immediately and directed Ryan to negotiate a separation agreement. It was unanimously approved.

Congratulations Eagle Scouts Troop 639

The Boy Scouts of America has awarded the rank of Eagle Scout to three local Scouts in a ceremony held August 19 at the North Star Museum of Scouting in North St. Paul. Scouts Brian Foran, Joey Tillman and Eddie Brody are members of Shoreview/North Oaks Troop 639. All are recent graduates of Mounds View High School and have participated in scouting together since attending Turtle Lake Elementary School.

For his Eagle Service Project, Foran designed and led a team of volunteers to construct a butterfly garden at Battle Creek Park.

In addition to Scouts, Brian participated in Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee. Brian was also the Mounds View High School President of National Honor Society, National Merit Commended Scholar and a member of the Quiz Bowl team, which competed nationally. Brian will be attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the fall.

His parents are Gary and Katie Foran of Vadnais Heights.

For his project, Tillman led a group of volunteers in constructing a memorial garden at Lake Owasso Residence in Shoreview. Joey also was presented with a proclamation from Mayor Sandy Martin for earning Eagle Rank at a City Council meeting. Joey will be attending Century College in the fall. Joey will continue on with Troop 639 as an Assistant Scoutmaster. In addition to Scouting, Joey participated in Football and Track at Mounds View High School.

His parents are Rick and Patty Tillman of Shoreview.

Brody’s service project was a memorial garden at North Heights Church in memory of 2 of his classmates that passed away, Bridget Giere and Stephanie Carlson.

He was also the President of the Youth in Government delegation at Mounds View High School and a member of the National Honor Society. Eddie will be attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the fall. His parents are Bill Brody and Bronwen Cound of North Oaks.

Nationally, only about four percent of Scouts go on to earn the Eagle award. Troop 639 meets at the East Rec. Center in North Oaks on Monday nights and is chartered to the North Oaks Homeowners Association.

The Scouts would like to thank all those who have led, volunteered, and showed them support through their years in Scouting.

After the city assessed the property for street improvements in 2010, the property went into tax forfeiture and the special assessment was canceled.

The property has since returned to private ownership and $1,347 has been reassessed against the property. Unless paid in full, the assessment will be paid over 10 years with an interest rate of 5.26 percent.

• Multiple staff from Centennial Schools updated the council with what is going on in the district. Superintendent Brian Dietz talked about test scores, graduation rates and mentioned the high school's Lunch Energize Achieve Participate (LEAP) program was going to be featured in The New York Times.

Golden Lake Elementary Principal Christopher Gerst shared pictures with the council and touched on the topics of the school's outdoor classroom, new library furniture and maker space equipment.

Middle School Principal Bob Stevens thanked the city for its support of the district and talked about the Achievement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program being implemented at the sixth-grade level.

High School Principal Tom Breuning highlighted the school's Advance Placement (AP) courses and the cost savings they bring to students and their families.

Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Scott Johnson and Executive Director of Business Patrick Chaffey talked about the upcoming levy.

•Approved plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for the iron-enhanced sand filtration project. The goal of the project is to remove Golden Lake from the impaired waters list by removing dissolved phosphorus. The total cost is estimated to be around $ 500,000. The project was approved for $467,968 in Clean Water Land and Legacy funds and the Rice Creek Watershed District agreed to pitch in $ 50,000. Construction should start this fall and the hope is to have it operational next spring or summer.

• Approved pay voucher No. 4 in the amount of $ 647,344 to R.L. Larson Excavating Inc. for the 2018 full street reconstruction project. City Administrator Patrick Antonen said the project is just over 77 percent complete.

• Approved the 2019 North Metro Telecommunications Commission budget in the amount of $1,305,578, which represents an increase of $13,525. There were reductions in anticipated administrative expenditures, but personnel and building maintenance line items were increased. Budgeted capital costs are $450,615, over half of which is dedicated to the HD upgrade bond payment. Franchise fees to be paid back to member cities are budgeted at $400,000.

• Approved the 2019 Centennial Fire District budget in the amount of $ 690,880, an increase of 13,000 from last year's budget. Councilman Matt Percy explained the increase is attributed to the fire commission putting away additional money for upcoming equipment needs.

Circle Pines’ portion of the budget is $ 340,00, which represents about a $7,000 increase from last year.

• Approved the 2019 Centennial Lakes Police Department budget in the amount of $2,618,333, an increase of $ 8,673 from last year.

Antonen said part of the reason for the increase is because community service officers are performing code enforcement and the number of medical calls has increased due to an aging population.

The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25, at City Hall.

What happened to the newspaper?

READ WITH great interest a recent Star Tribune column by Jennifer Brooks entitled, “When there is news, but no paper.”

She talks about Ted Almen, the publisher who wrote his newspaper’s obituary with the final edition of the Raymond-Prinsburg News on the Fourth of July. The Almens also own the Clara City Herald which now will provide area news for people in Raymond and Prinsburg.

Newspapers all over the state are finding it difficult to survive.

Newspapers near us like the Lake Elmo Leader and the Stillwater Courier have ceased publication.

An encouraging note was all the people who visited with Kathy me at the Minnesota State About the and Fair Newspaper Museum. They Town thanked us for the Press and the Gene Johnson different newspapers we publish in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

A rural Pine City farmer said, “I hope we don’t lose the Pioneer. It’s so important in recording history and keeping people informed about our local government.”

Demographics point out that people who read newspapers will still be a dominant force for the next 15 to 20 years.

But many of the younger generation carry their smartphones with them even when they are out hiking or just leisurely walking. Digital news is available on our websites 24/7, but the revenue stream is small and cannot yet support a news team.

I stopped at a McDonald’s in Cambridge recently and a senior lady at the counter was making small talk while I was waiting for my chicken sandwich.

I asked where she gets her local news, she said she gets that on TV. I began to wonder if people really know the value of local news, about their schools and government and their neighbors.

Local advertising is the main support of a community newspaper. Local business people are struggling against the big box stores, direct mail, and the Amazons of the world.

The bottom line is we appreciate our local advertisers who can reach a great number of eyeballs through print and digital mediums. Print is effective as you can refer to it easily, carry it with you and it is shared among families and even neighbors. A weekly newspaper stays in the home for over a week.

Subscriptions are also a vital part of a newspaper’s income. We appreciate those who subscribe or pick it up on the newsstand. We need all of you.

People will continue to make news. We want to be there for you so you can be informed, vote intelligently and shop locally to keep our communities alive.

John McCain The Nation will miss Sen. John McCain, III. He was a great war hero, maverick of a politician, and a man with a love of family.

He understood the satisfaction that comes by serving a greater cause, and that was in defending the dignity of all people, having moral courage and patriotism. He encouraged political bi-partisanship to accomplish legislation that was in the best interest of all people.

Some years ago, Kathy and I, while on a study mission to Vietnam, visited the prison known as the “Hanoi Hilton” where Sen. McCain spent five and a half years. It is difficult to comprehend confinement to that facility.

It was unfortunate that our president, Donald Trump, did not appropriately recognize his military service to our country. We will miss this man who served a cause and not a personal agenda. He was truly an American hero.

Rectifying Obamacare problems

I

n the years following the implementation of Obamacare, Minnesota families have seen their health care premiums rise at rates that are unsustainable. In fact, from 2014 to 2017, average premium rates increased by double digits every year, including nearly 60 percent for 2017.

Such dramatic rate increases were quickly becoming a fi nancial burden for thousands of Legislator the Minnesotans who purchase their Lingo health insurance Linda Runbeck on the individual market. These rising premiums costs were also having a negative effect on the state and national economies as family budgets were feeling the pinch.

Simply put, the healthcare market was in free fall and action needed to be taken by the legislature to slow the rising costs of premiums, improve choice and get our healthcare system back on track.

I am happy to report that action from the Republican-led majorities in the House and Senate in St. Paul successfully delivered on our promise to lower healthcare premiums.

Earlier this summer, news from the Minnesota Department of Commerce confi rmed that for the second straight year, health

“All five of the carriers on the individual market are projected to decrease premiums for 2019, with average preliminary rates dropping between 3 percent and 12.4 percent.” insurance premiums on the individual market are projected to decrease. In total, all five of the carriers on the individual market are projected to decrease premiums for 2019, with average preliminary rates dropping between 3 percent and 12.4 percent.

The Department went on to report that premiums could have risen by as much as 20 percent without our reforms.

This news is proof that reforms championed by House Republicans over the last two years are working.

In addition to bringing down the costs of health insurance on the individual market, the Legislature passed reforms that end the practice of “surprise billing.” Out-of-network services can sometimes bill patients thousands of dollars, and many Minnesotans had no idea they were on the hook to pay for these exorbitant costs until after their procedures. Thanks to our reforms, surprise billing is a thing

of the past and patients are now required to be informed of possible out-of-network costs before any procedure.

Another issue was that thousands of Minnesotans were being left without any sort of choice in their health insurance as providers were leaving the individual market. In many cases, this left just a single provider in a particular geographic region.

To address this problem, bipartisan reforms, which I voted for not only will help to increase the number of healthcare plans available in all regions of the state, but will also preserve access for Minnesotans receiving life-saving care and strengthen provider networks.

The reforms and legislation that were passed and signed into law this year go a long way in rectifying the problems caused

by Obamacare. I look forward to continuing to build on these successes in the coming legislative session.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Runbeck R b k works k h hard d to t solve l problems bl A letter published on Sept. 4 opposed our excellent state Rep. Linda Runbeck in District 38A. The writer was factually inaccurate about the real world. First, employment is not at an all-time low as he wrote; it is unemployment that is near such a low.

Second, take-home pay is going up; it is not f lat. The Wall Street Journal reported Sept. 5 that a family of three with an income of $ 60,000 ($15-per-hour jobs and one child) will see a real increase in after-tax income of 5.5 percent. That is a $ 3,300 annual increase, thanks to the Republican Congress and President Trump. Again, on Sept. 8, the Wall Street Journal reported: “Wage Gains, Payroll Rises as Expansion Rolls Ahead.�

Instead of focusing on nonproblems, Linda Runbeck works hard to solve real problems. Her work exposed that the Met Council was using two sets of accounting books (only one is allowed) based on different assumptions for transit finances.

Linda's work securing a $1.1 million grant to repair a railroad track in Hugo means 500 manufacturing jobs in the industrial park will remain and the businesses there can expand.

Rep. Linda Runbeck provides valued, real-world, experienced representation.

Double vote yes It is probably tough if you don’t have kids in the Centennial School District to vote yes for this November’s levy questions. Some facts to consider to make it easier: The district cut 22 teachers and 60 full-time positions total in the last three years and $17 million in costs in the last decade.

District voters have not passed an operational levy since 2005 and state money has lagged inf lation, leading to aggressive cuts. These are classroom dollars that impacts class sizes, textbooks, technology and specialists.

If you are a homeowner in the district, the district’s funding health should be of utmost importance to you if you ever plan to sell your home. According to National Association of Realtors research published June 1, 2016: • 91 percent of potential buyers in a survey of 1,000 said school boundaries were important in their search. • 20 percent of buyers would give up an extra bedroom or garage stall to get into a better school district. • Another 20 percent of buyers would also pay up to 10 percent more for a comparable house to be in a desirable school district, meaning if you owned a $250,000 house there are 200 out of 1,000 who would pay $25,000

more to be in a desirable district. • Almost 10 percent would pay up to 20 percent more—100 people out of 1,000 that would pay $ 50,000 more. • 50 percent of buyers affirmed that they would pay more for a house in a good school district.

The $ 37 monthly investment that the levy costs the $250,000 homeowner is a drop in the bucket compared to the potential home value lost when more cuts come due to failure of the levy.

Ken Corsini, who owns a real estate investment firm, conducted an analysis in 2009 as part of his master’s thesis at Georgia Tech to study the impact of school district ratings on home values during the housing crisis. His research found that homes in quality districts were insulated from the market downturn compared to homes in less desirable districts.

A double vote of yes is a vote for investment in not only our schools but in our neighborhoods.

Skip the straw We have all heard about the plastic pollution in the oceans and observed those graphic images of dead marine life with plastic-filled stomachs, sea turtles trapped in plastic bags or with straws in their noses.

According to the Plastic Oceans Foundation, the world is now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use, and more than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year.

I always assumed straws were being recycled along with the other recyclable plastic, but they’re not. The size of a straw is the biggest barrier to recycling. They’re too hard to pick out, so they’re going to landfills or ending up in the oceans.

This is a daunting problem, but I believe it is not too late to reduce plastic pollution in our oceans and ultimately, produce less waste for the planet. Starbucks recently announced that they are phasing out the use of plastic straws. American Airlines is planning to do the same thing.

I didn’t even think about skipping the straw until it became an internet sensation. Despite the movement being a sensation, it doesn’t mean it is a fad. Skipping the straw at cafes, bars and restaurants is the right thing to do.

The next time you’re eating out, ask your server to skip the straw. Better yet, ask the management to stop automatically serving drinks with straws and provide them only on request. Remember, just one simple step is all it takes to start out on the journey of producing less waste.

Try it—skip the straw!

CHURCH BRIEF Modern-day miracles explored The question of whether miracles are real— and happening today—will be explored at Lifetree CafĂŠ at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, and at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 20. The program titled, “Miracles or Mere Coincidences? Does Everything Happen for a Reason?â€? features a filmed interview with Robin Alm, a woman who believes a miracle occurred in her life.

During the program participants will share miracles they believe have occurred in their own lives. Admission to the 60-minute event is free and snacks and beverages are provided.

Centennial starts fast in 27-6 football win over Anoka

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Connor Zulk lunges over the goal line despite an Anoka defender’s efforts.

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial Cougars scored its fi rst three possessions and defeated the Anoka Tornadoes 27-6 at home Friday, Sept. 14, improving to 2-1.

While pleased with the victory, coach Mike Diggins said his team “might have taken a step back” with numerous mistakes and some blocking scheme problems. “We were ahead 20-0 and did not finish after that. We have tough games coming up and we have to fi x some things.”

Connor Zulk got them off to a great start, hitting Cooper Anderson long for a 41-yard gain on their fi rst offensive play. Zulk capped the drive with a seven-yard run, lunging over the stripe dragging a tackler.

Noah Larson’s 19-yard end run capped the second drive. Zulk, the kicker, had one point after touchdown

(PAT) blocked and missed the next.

Anoka faked a punt from its own 30 and Cougar linebacker Casey Coppersmith intercepted the punter’s pass. The Cougars capitalized. Zulk’s lob to the corner of the end zone was snagged by Yaachie Chuol, who was tightly-covered, for a nine-yard touchdown. Larson ran for the twopointer as he was hit but lunged to tag the pylon with the ball.

Anoka’s Hunter Way bursted a 49yard run in the fourth quarter to get the Tornadoes (0-3) on the board.

Centennial responded with Zulk scoring again, from the three. Ricky Hemrick kicked the PAT. Zulk completed five of 10 (to five different targets) for 105 yards.

Larson carried nine times for 89 yards and had a 46-yard gain on a pass. Xiong toted 17 times for 71.

Centennial will play at St. MichaelAlbertville (1-2) next Friday.

LINO LAKES COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Sept. 10 meeting: • Approved the consent agenda, which included expenditures; minutes from the Aug. 27 work session, council meeting and special session; Aug. 22 special session minutes; and approval of exempt gambling permits for Turkey Bingo Nov. 22 and a scholarship raffle Nov. 27 at St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church.

• Authorized the execution of 2018-19 labor agreement between the city and International Union of Operating Engineers (IOUE) Local No. 49 for 2018-19.

City Administrator Jeff Karlson explained that after several negotiation meetings, the union voted in favor of accepting the following terms: • A 2.75 percent wage increase retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018, and a 2.5 percent wage increase effective Jan. 1, 2019.

• Effective Jan. 1, employer will contribute $567 toward the monthly medical premium for single coverage and $1,182 for family coverage.

• Effective Jan. 1, 2019, employer will contribute 100 percent of the base single medical plan and $1,182 plus 50 percent of the 2019 premium increase toward the family medical plan.

• A new memorandum of understanding was added to contract based on an arrangement made in 2015 to create a combined maintenance worker/ mechanic position for an unspecified period.

• Held the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 616 of the City Code to update regulations regarding therapeutic massage. The council also held the first reading of an ordinance adding a new Chapter 510 relating to disorderly houses.

Director of Public Safety John Swenson explained in December 2017, the council adopted an ordinance adding regulations of therapeutic massage to the City Code and establishing a licensing process for the regulations. Swenson said city staff made revisions and additions, which they believe will strengthen the ordinance.

“Staff conducted a criminal investigation into a business that represented itself as a therapeutic massage business but is alleged to have engaged in criminal activity. Upon serving a search warrant at the business and making an arrest, staff was unable to immediately shut the business down. This created a situation where alleged criminal activity occurred, but the business could not be shut down,” he said.

The proposed disorderly house ordinance ordinance, Swenson said, would allow staff to take action and shut down a problem address in order to improve safety and livability in the community.

• Approved a conditional use permit and site improvement performance agreement for Lino Lakes Storage, phase 1. Alliance Bank currently owns the 5.74-acre parcel located at 440 Park Court within the Marshan Lake Industrial Park. The applicant, Joe Benson, has a purchase agreement with Alliance Bank to purchase the parcel and will develop the property into primarily outside drive-up, cold, self-storage units. The project is broken up into two major phases. Phase 1 is the northern portion of the property, which will consist of approximately 43,000 square feet of storage units. Phase 2 is the south portion of the property, which will consist of 24,700 square feet of storage units.

• Held the first reading of an ordinance calling for the vacation of a drainage and utility easement originally dedicated on Lot 4, Block 1, Marshan Lake Industrial Park for Lino Lakes Storage. Benson is requesting that a portion of the existing drainage and utility easement be vacated and replaced by a new drainage and utility easement boundary for a future pond. The easement proposed to be vacated was originally over a wetland, but approved wetland delineation shows the area is no longer a wetland and thus can be vacated.

• Held the first reading of an ordinance rezoning property from R (rural) to PUD (planned unit development) and also approved a PUD development stage plan/preliminary plat for Eastside Villas.

Hokanson Construction & Development Co. Inc. submitted a land use application for Eastside Villas.

The proposed residential development is a 32-lot single-family subdivision located east of NorthPointe and west of I-35E. The applicant is proposing 1,450-square-foot single-level, slab-on-grade villas.

The development is a continuation of the existing NorthPointe 6th Addition.

• Accepted bids and awarded a construction contract for the 2018 LaMotte area street and utility project. (Councilman Dale Stoesz abstained from the vote.) Six bids were received for the project Aug. 21 and the low bid was submitted by Forest Lake Contracting Inc. in the amount of $1,181,524.

The council also approved a construction services contract with WSB & Associates for the project in the amount of $79,950 and materials testing in the amount of $8,885. The estimated total project cost is

$1 529 000 which includes construction, construction engineering $1,529,000, and administrative costs.

City Engineer Diane Hankee said that final completion will be June 2019.

• Approved a resolution declaring the city's intent to reimburse itself from bond proceeds for the LaMotte project, which will be financed by a combination of general obligation street reconstruction bonds ($1,217,125), sewer operating funds ($242,225), grant funds from Rice Creek Watershed District ($39,500) and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services ($30,150).

The Internal Revenue Code requires cities to declare their intent to reimburse project costs incurred prior to receipt of bond proceeds. Preliminary expenditures such as architectural, engineering, surveying, bond issuance and similar costs are exempt from this provision.

• Accepted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. The city of Lino Lakes conducted a self-evaluation of its current transportation infrastructure, as required by Title II of the ADA. WSB & Associates 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 the city to address the improvements of its current facilities, which includes an estimated budget and timeline for updating pedestrian routes and infrastructure improvements.

Stoesz asked if the city had a policy about when to review the plan and Hankee explained the plan could be reviewed upon council request or mandates from the federal government.

• Accepted bids and awarded a construction contract for the 2018 trail maintenance project, which includes maintenance of the trail section located west of August Circle. The project includes raising the grade of the trail to prevent the adjacent wetland from continuing to over-top the trail.

The engineer’s estimate for the project was $31,730.

Allied Blacktop Co. of Maple Grove submitted the sole bid in the amount of $34,535. The project will be completed by Nov. 21, Hankee noted.

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

Monday, Sept. 24, at City Hall. There will also be a work session immediately beforehand at 6 p.m. in the Community Room. In addition, a land use workshop is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, in the Community Room.

Skate park, skating pond coming to Shoreview Commons

BY SARA MARIE MOORE SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — The city plans to add a skate park, outdoor skating pond, pickleball courts and several other new features to the Commons area, where the community center, library and district center is located.

Construction is expected to begin next summer, according to city documents. The plaza-style skate park will be designed by Spohn Ranch Skateparks. It will be about 6,000 square feet. The outdoor skating pond would be a decorative pond in the summer. It is planned to be 84 feet wide and 140 feet long and will have a fountain and thematic lighting in the summer.

The projects are part of phase one of the Shorev-

iew Commons Master Plan. Other phase one plans include an expanded plaza and wedding venue next to the pavilion, formal gardens and nature playground.

Better pedestrian connections to the library are also planned.

The City Council unanimously approved spending about $229,000 for the phase one plans at its Aug. 20 meeting. The City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission have been meeting regularly with LHB, an engineering and architecture company, over the last few months to work on the plans, said City Administrator Terry Schwerm.

The city has dedicated $2.75 million to the Commons master plan. Future plans also include a destination playground and concession building.

Back-to-school warning on nicotine and e-cigarettes As students return to school, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has issued a health advisory regarding the latest evidence that early nicotine use increases the risks of addiction for youth now and later in life.

Nicotine primes the adolescent brain for addiction. Those exposed to nicotine are more likely to use other harmful substances such as illicit drugs and cigarettes. Because their brains are still developing, kids and teens can become addicted to nicotine more easily than adults.

Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation, a coalition of more than 60 organizations, warns that tobacco may be in students' backpacks.

“Today’s tobacco products are designed by the industry to look like everyday items like candy and school supplies,” said Molly Moilanen, director of public affairs at ClearWay MinnesotaSM and cochair of Minnesotans for a SmokeFree Generation. “Through stealthy designs, high nicotine content, aggressive advertising and candy f lavors, this generation of tobacco products threatens our progress to reduce teen smoking.”

In 2017, Minnesota high school tobacco use spiked to 26 percent — the first increase in teen tobacco use in 17 years, according to MDH. Much of this increase was due to e-cigarettes: high-school e-cigarette use increased by 50 percent over the last three years. Currently, 19 percent of high school students report use.

“We need to do everything we can to address this escalating risk of addiction for youth, but we can’t do this alone. This work requires the participation of parents, educators, health care providers, retailers and policymakers,” said Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm.

Nearly all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, and research shows that young adults who smoke or who use e-cigarettes are much more likely to binge drink than nonsmokers. Recent studies have identified similar patterns between the use of nicotine and use of other drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamines. Use of e-cigarettes has also been shown to predict future cigarette use among youth who have

never smoked cigarettes. Multiple research studies have demonstrated e-cigarette users are twice as likely to become cigarette smokers.

“Far too many teens are being introduced at an early age to e-cigarettes,” said Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “Nicotine negatively impacts learning, memory and attention.

As students start their new school year, I encourage educators, parents and health care providers to come together and raise awareness about the dangers of e-cigarettes on our youth so we can quickly address these troubling trends and put a full stop to them.”

A specific product called JUUL, which looks like a USB or f lash drive, now dominates more than 70 percent of the e-cigarette market.

These products are easily hidden, emit a limited odor, and contain aerosol, which dissipates quickly.

The JUUL pods, often f lavored like candy or fruit, contain the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.

“Nicotine is highly addictive and can harm the adolescent brain no matter how it’s delivered,” Moilanen added. “Some of these popular devices are delivering a massive amount of nicotine. Youth often don’t realize or underestimate the amount of nicotine in these products and are becoming hooked at a young age. As Minnesota students go back to school, we urge elected leaders to step up and do more to protect youth.”

All tobacco use, including e-cigarette use and vaping, is prohibited by state law in public schools, according to MDH. It is illegal for retail merchants to sell e-cigarette products to youth under age 18.

Many Minnesota communities are already taking action to keep e-cigarettes and other tobacco products out of youth hands. Eleven cities have raised the minimum age to buy tobacco to age 21, and some have restricted f lavored tobacco products to adult-only tobacco shops.

Shoreview was the sixth city in the state to raise the minimum age to 21 in May. Submitted

This graphic shows how nicotine products, including e-cigarettes, flavored cigars and snus, look similar to many school supplies.

MINNESOTA YOUTH TOBACCO TRENDS • 67 percent of high school tobacco users and nearly 60 percent of middle school tobacco users reported using flavored products.

• 11 percent of high school students reported smoking cigars or cigarillos, a 30 percent increase from 8 percent in 2014.

• Almost 40 percent of high school students have tried e-cigarettes, which come in kid-friendly flavors like gummy bear and cotton candy.

• Nearly 1 in 5 high school students reporting using e-cigarettes in the past month — a nearly 50 percent surge from 13 percent in 2014.

• 88 percent of high school and middle school students reported they have seen advertisements promoting e-cigarettes.

• More than $110 million/year is spent by the tobacco industry marketing and advertising their products in Minnesota.

• Nearly 95 percent of addicted adult smokers started smoking before age 21.

An apparent Sasquatch/Bigfoot cutout was sighted in the new roundabout at County Road I and I-35W Sept. 10. When the Press looked for Bigfoot Sept. 11, it had already disappeared.

KIDS COOKING SCHOOL: Owner hopeful about next chapter FROM PAGE 1

Junior Chef Series and birthday parties.

A couple weeks ago, Cavegn was forced to make the hard decision to close because the business had fallen behind in rent and could no longer afford the space.

“The number one thing was awareness. There were still a ton of people that didn't know we were there. Even though there was one day that was full (of students), there were three other days where schools were closed, when we should've been full but we weren't,” she explained, adding families from Centennial Schools as well as White Bear Lake and Mounds View often enrolled in classes/camps, but families from other neighboring districts did not.

Another major hit for the business, Cavegn said, was a shift in funding after the presidential election in 2016. “A huge change we weren't expecting was the season of grant awards switched from healthy eating to social justice,” she said. “That doesn't mean there weren't any healthy eating grants, but a lot of lenders are moving into the social justice area and the competition was high.”

Cavegn added, “We have known we were losing money for a while and several different funding options that we tried to get, both grants and loans, didn't come through.”

The business took another hit this February, after Facebook made some changes in regards to business pages. “Facebook started making businesses spend more money on ads in order to get the same reach we were getting before. Before February, I had a reach of about 80 percent...I had one little video clip that reached 4,000 people without me spending a penny,” she recalled. “After the change, I would make a post and maybe 40 people would see it. I would spend $ 50 on an ad to get 300 people to see it when previously I spent $10 to get 7,000 people to see it.”

Cecilia Peterson is hopeful the business will be able to find a new normal. Her grandson attended a few classes at the school and had his 10th birthday party there.

“One of her goals, I am thinking, was to get kids to realize that this was not magic and that they really could cook things and have lots of fun doing it, and be creative at the same time,” she said. “She and her school were a real special opportunity for children and the community. I am sure she will be missed.”

Blaine resident Lorri Whitney's son Reese is Cavegn's longest standing student and has participated in numerous classes and camps.

“I don't even know how to describe what a godsend The Kids Cooking School was for our family. If your kid plays hockey or soccer or is interested in karate or dance, the opportunities are

endless. If your 8-year-old son has his heart set on being a chef and wants to take classes, it is infinitely more difficult,” she said.

“To say Reese and we as a family are saddened at the closing of The Kids Cooking School is an understatement. Chef Tiffany's dedication to the school and the kids who attended there was a true gift to all us parents who have looked for something other than sports for our kids to do,” she said. “You can really tell she poured her heart and soul and sweat into that place. To see it close when she worked so hard and provided such a unique service to so many kids is truly sad. I certainly hope that an angel investor or nonprofit supporter will step in and give Tiffany the opportunity to rebuild and provide this amazing and unique opportunity to kids in this area.”

Despite the setback, Cavegn has not given up on the school's mission.

“There is no doubt that the concept is a winner. It is simply finding a way to make it financially sustainable. I am committed to still working on that,” she said. “This is what I am meant to do. Like artists who have to paint, I have to do this.”

Even though the doors to the business have closed, ideas for what Cavegn calls “Kids Cooking School 2.0” are swirling. “Ideas are dancing in my head like sugar plums on Christmas Eve,” Cavegn said.

The idea at the top of her list is a bus/trailer concept so the school could travel and be more easily accessible.

“One of the things we learned is that even if we got grants to have some free classes, the majority of the children that really need it couldn't get way up here to Lino Lakes,” she said.

Another idea would be to develop a partnership with a larger,

regional nonprofit or organization that would be willing to either house the program or help with the administration side of things.

For now, Cavegn urges people to continue following the business on social media for what comes next. “We are not going away.

Stick with us. This is a chapter, it is not the end of the book,” she said.

Cavegn is also open to ideas for

potential partnerships.

For people who have already signed up for fall classes, Cavegn said she will do her absolute best to give refunds for registration fees.

Lino Lakes teen publishes 1st novel

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — In seventh grade, Jenna Stellmack started writing the first draft of her first novel. Now as a junior in high school, she has officially published a book and has two more underway.

Stellmack, a Lino Lakes resident who attends Mounds View High School, has been in love with reading since she first learned how, but her love of writing didn't develop until middle school.

“I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction, which is what inspired me to write my own fantasy book,” she said. “I think my favorite part about writing is creating worlds for my characters. It's a lot of fun to make places for the characters to live in.”

Although she enjoys all kinds of writing, her passion is science fiction and fantasy.

She is also the editor of her school paper, which broadens her horizons as a writer.

In June, Stellmack published “Darkkness” through an Amazon service called Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). She not only had to create her own cover art, but also had to format everything and get her own copyright.

The book (the first in a trilogy) is intended for youth in middle school and early high school.

Here is the synopsis—Life is perfectly ordinary for Fern Olsen until a spelunking adventure reveals something entirely unexpected: a portal to another world lies within

a cave near her home, and the dangerous, otherworldly people who use it are taking an interest in Fern. An accident years before has left Fern in possession of all the magical powers of Darkkness, a world ruled by the infamous King Quoth. The power-hungry King wants to take over a second world, Lumina, but he needs to take the magic of his own world back from Fern to do so.

Suddenly, Fern is thrust into a prophecy to save both Darkkness and Lumina from the King. Armed with power she doesn't understand and a slew of allies with questionable motives, she must stop the King before he destroys another world.

With one book under her belt, Stellmack already has two more in the works. One is a sequel to “Darkkness,” which continues the story of Fern and her companions; the other is a science fiction book for older teens about a futuristic world in which people live in cities in the sky to escape the extreme conditions on the ground caused by climate change.

After she graduates, Stellmack plans to go to college to become an engineer, architect or a full-time author. Whatever she does, she said she “will keep writing no matter what.”

“Darkkness” is available for purchase on amazon.com as well as the Kindle store.

— Memorable songs and striking cinematography dominate this engaging, factually based, well-acted, meandering-paced, star-studded (Charlie Sexton, Josh Hamilton, Richard Linklater, Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, Kris Kristofferson, Ethan Hawke, Sybil Rosen, and Alynda Lee Segarra), 128-minute Ethan Hawke film adapted from Sybil Rosen’s memoir “Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze Foley” that chronicles the tumultuous life and career of harddrinking, talented, struggling country singer/songwriter/ guitarist Blaze Foley (Ben Dickey), who died in Texas in 1989, and his love of his life and wannabe-actress waitress Sybil Rosen (Alia Shawkat).

WEEKLY AVERAGES

Remember several months back when winter lingered into SEPT. 19-25, 2018 spring and what seemed like into summer? This past weekend 65° was “make up” days, with temperatures soaring into the upper High Low 46° 80’s and low 90’s. I topped out in the upper 80’s but many area thermometers made it into the 90’s. Along with the %Sun 61% summer heat was summer humidity, as dew points reached PCP 0.67” the 70º mark. Some may not like it but winter is not far away. I like this warmer weather this late into September. Astro note: Still wondering where the bright planets are in the southern sky after sunset? Mars to the left of south and Saturn to the right of south. Fall Equinox, Saturday, Sept. 22 at 8:54pm.
