2016 year in review
Permitting process ‘stone in road’ for water reuse BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Top 10 stories a mixed bag Every year, The Citizen compiles a look back at front page stories and inside news. Topping the top 10 list in 2016 on our website was a human interest piece on a female Samoan chief who owns area Snap Fitness franchises and heads the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce. The hunt for the Golden Spike gathered lots of hits during Hugo Good Neighbor Days as treasure hunters went online to get the clues. Families looking for day care had another option in a new facility called Growing Generations, which ranked third. That was followed by features on a ham radio operator in Centerville who recalls connecting loved ones impacted by 9/11; and Hugo’s Good Neighbor of the Year, who is the American Legion’s goto person for fundraisers. A proposed housing facility at the old Waterworks
Beach Club in Centerville received mixed reactions from residents and garnered sixth place. That project is on hold after a developer withdrew. Space dedicated to a contentious school closing was justified as two stories on the Stillwater School Board’s BOLD proposal were in the top 10. That issue involves the fight to keep Withrow Elementary School open in rural Hugo. Appearing for the second year in a row is the nowarchived story on the sale of a petting zoo. The owners were successful in selling the Lino Lakes business in 2016 and have relocated to a small farm in Hugo with a few favorite animals. Rounding out the top 10 was a story on a Hugo resident who was crowned King Boreas at the St. Paul Winter Carnival. It’s good to be king. For more highlights of 2016 stories, turn to pages 8-11.
HUGO — Buzz words like reuse and repurpose are taking on new meaning when it comes to water, and the city is taking point on the concept for keeping grass green. The concept is stormwater reuse. Hugo has been taking advantage of Mother Nature’s runoff since the fi rst project three years ago at Oneka Ridge Golf Course. In that system, water drains through 1,000 acres into a ditch system that leads to a retention pond by the 18th hole. The water is used to irrigate the greens, eliminating the need to pump groundwater. “There is a lot of interest around the state for these systems,” City Administrator Bryan Bear told the City Council at its Dec. 19 meeting. “The money is following that interest, and there are agencies willing to fund these projects.” In an update to council regarding water reuse, Bear said the city will be applying for permits for several new projects in 2017. Among them are irrigation systems for cityowned property along County Road 8 and a second phase for the Water’s Edge neighborhood. There is also interest from Victor Gardens homeowners to use water from Clearwater Creek to irrigate the townhomes’ green space. The Rice Creek Watershed District is receptive to the CSAH 8 irrigation project and the timing is good, Bear said. “There is a program that will allow up to $50,000 from the district for this project. The staff and board have been extremely helpful in recent months in advancing the cause of water reuse.” Also noteworthy, the watershed district now allows the city to get infi ltration credits for using stormwater, instead of the credits going back to the district. Bear is also hoping for another round of grants from the Metropolitan Council. The Beaver Ponds Park irrigation system installed last fall was partially funded by a Met Council grant. It will be in full operation this summer to irrigate soccer fields. Approved by the City Council and in the design stage is the fi rst phase of the Waters Edge project. The townhome community uses significant water for its green space, Bear said. To offset that groundwater withdrawal, the city is investing up to $300,000 to reuse stormwater from nearby ponds along Oneka Parkway. The money will be recovered by selling the water to the homeowners association. That system should be completed this spring. One hangup in the planning process is permit applications. The city must apply to the SEE STORM WATER REUSE, PAGE 3

STORM WATER REUSE: More projects on Hugo’s horizon FROM PAGE 1
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for water appropriation permits. “That takes 60 days to five months,” Bear said. “We’ve been asking the DNR why we need a permit at all; and they agreed to review the process. Unfortunately, they have created a new permit, which is more difficult than the previous permit application. It has not made the process easier.” Bear said the city continues to work with the DNR, but “it is not going as well as we’d like.” He added there is potential for some intervention from the Legislature if “the rulemaking process doesn’t work as it should.” There is concern agency regulations could halt reuse projects, added the city administrator, when the effort has been to streamline the application process. Councilman Chuck Haas said the DNR regulations are the “biggest stone in the road” to water reuse. “We might, as a council, communicate to staff that we are committed to these water reuse projects. We are getting developers to buy into these reuse projects; the biggest obstacle would be delays. Delays cost money.” Haas was referring to the Clearwater Cove housing development south of Frenchman Road. Ponds were created around the perimeter by the developer, DR Horton, to irrigate the recently installed sod on residential lots. The homes do not use municipal water for irrigation and the city is
not involved in maintaining the system. “They are pumping crazy amounts of water out of these ponds,” Bear said, “probably more than anyone expected.” That system might be expanded to an adjoining neighborhood, Creekside Villas. Its homeowners association has expressed interest in buying water for their irrigation needs. “In this case, we might want to ignore the DNR,” Haas said. “We are doing the right thing for the right reasons.” Councilwoman Becky Petryk questioned if there was a push from developers for reuse systems. “I would think it’s a great selling point,” she noted. “Irrigation is expensive. It would be a way to show potential buyers that monthly bills to the homeowners association would be lower because they have a system like this.” “Developers don’t know enough yet to have a strong opinion,” Bear replied. “We found they are willing to take some risk and to try it. Our fi rst example of a developer-installed system is here in Clearwater Cove. It is being marketed by developer. It is on the so-called green tract on Parade of Homes. I don’t know if that has an impact on attracting buyers. They are doing this because the city is politely asking them to do this. They are incorporating water reuse into planned unit developments in exchange for some leniency on zoning ordinance requirements.” Haas asked Bear if he perceived a problem from developers considering a reuse if there is a delay. The response was “yes.”
Bear added that the city attorney could offer advice regarding a transfer of liability from the developer to the city if there are ramifications in not having a permit. “I would support a notion that would indemnify a developer with the city taking the brunt of responsibility (if there are regulatory problems),” Haas said. “I am comfortable doing that because I don’t think the DNR could put their foot down without putting it in their mouth. They can’t tell us not to use water from the aquifer and stand in the way of things we should be doing. They could not survive the bad publicity. They would be seen as ridiculously incompetent bureaucrats.” Councilman Phil Klein noted that “Hugo started these projects several years ago to get in front of these water issues. These are worthy projects. We should push the envelope; leadership always has unknowns.” Mayor Tom Weidt preferred to arrange “a sitdown with the (DNR) commissioner” about the permitting and the city’s “distaste” for the process. “Developers will shy away from it if it’s not easy to do,” he said. “We are on the right track; we have some great projects going and I can see this leapfrogging through other neighborhoods. We need to push to get that fi xed.” When asked how many gallons are being irrigated, Bear said 2017 will be a better indicator as the systems come online. Pumps have been equipped with meters to monitor usage.
Busy month for Hugo Yellow Ribbon Network December began with the network providing 18 volunteers for the 134th Brigade Support Battalion’s Holiday Party at the Arden Hills Armory. Volunteers prepared and served the meal and hosted the events and games enjoyed by the military children. The network also: • Provided support and care packages for a Minnesota soldier of the 682nd Engineer Battalion recuperating from hip surgery at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. • Set up a volunteer help-at-home crew for a Hugo soldier who often is called upon for 24/7 duty for several days at a time. • Met a need for a local soldier who needed a bed and dresser to help him care at home for his mother who is recuperating from an illness. • Met a need for a local Hugo military family who needs some new furniture for their three growing children. • Received from a military widow a like-new recliner and donated it to a local military family. • Donated a silent auction item for the 133rd Air Wings Sportsman’s Banquet; proceeds go to support Air Guard families in need. • More than 20 Hugo volunteers participated in Operation Secret Santa 2016 where toys and gifts were provided to local military families based on needs
provided by the Family Assistance Centers, County Veteran Services Office and the Army’s Survivor Outreach Service. • Hosted a Holiday Party for 25 members of the Minnesota National Guard’s Family Programs unit and the R3 Suicide Prevention unit. • Received thanks from Bravo Company of the 2nd Battalion, 135th Infantry Regiment who are deployed to Egypt for care packages sent last month. • Received thanks from the Commander, SGM, and Chaplain of the 1st Battalion of the 124th Infantry Regiment who are deployed to the Horn of Africa for the care packages sent last July. • Network volunteers and those from Blue Star Mothers of America run the meat raffles during bingo every Saturday at Sal’s Angus Grill. This winter pastime provides much financial support from the Bayport American Legion to enable the network’s mission to succeed. • Received support from Xcel Energy, Thomson Reuters, and Allina Health employees who participated in their company’s matching gifts program. • Hosted a recognition ceremony at the Dec. 19 Hugo City Council meeting to show appreciation for all the business sponsors of Burger Night at the Hugo Legion and to award the Business Sponsor of the Year to
Oneka Ridge Golf Course/Arcand Family for serving the most burgers of any month. • Provided special recognition and support for Gail Springborn of the Army’s Survivor Outreach Service for her dedicated work in support of grieving families. Several of these projects would not have been possible without the help and support of local YRNs and military service groups. Thanks to the Lino Lakes YRN, CSOAF, Suburban Ramsey County YRN, Hugo American Legion, Blue Star Mothers of America, White Bear Lake VFW and Auxiliary, Sal’s Angus Grill, Bayport American Legion and Eagan YRN.

big obstacles, but technical climbing in extreme cold poses the greatest challenge. According to Dupre’s organization, One World Endeavors, the fi rst winter ascent of Mt. Hunter took place in March of 1980 by a three-person team. No one has yet to succeed at a solo ascent of this mountain during the winter. National Geographic highlights Dupre’s latest expedition in the Field Notes section of the December 2016 issue. Dupre will use a methodical alpine climbing strategy, making an ultralight push from base to summit. A stable window of good weather is paramount to the success of the climb due the limited ability to carry supplies. Lonnie’s backpack will weigh between 55 to 60 pounds, supplying him for 15 to 19 days; a humbling weight for the steep terrain. Press release

Unplug on the road
R
oad trips have changed from the days of our youth. Forty years ago when our family went on road trips, music options were cassette tapes or the radio and we played games like ‘I spy” or fi nding license plates from every state to pass the time. We could move freely around the vehicle and the main source of entertainment was figuring out new ways to annoy my siblings. It was family togetherness at its best in the station wagon. My observation of road trips today, based on my own experience, is that kids sit like zombies in the backseat because they are focused on whatever electronic device they have. They don’t engage with anyone else until they are hungry or need to make a restroom stop. Publisher’s Yet the family road trip is still one of the best ways to have unView adulterated family time. So how do Carter Johnson you keep your family engaged and talking? As we prepared for a road trip to Colorado over the holidays, I asked a few families for tips. One mom recommended the kids get involved with the pre-planning for the trip. That could be cutting up snacks the day before, or researching fuel stops or dining options along the way. Most kids would enjoy packing their own goodie bag of snacks. Another mom pointed out the importance of each kid having a pillow and blanket to stay cozy and create their own nest while on the road. While today everyone needs to be buckled in, I know our kids have enjoyed making their own forts by hanging blankets around their seats. Another suggestion was to require kids to unplug from technology at set times along the way – like for 15 minutes every hour. This time could be used to talk about the scenery, listen to country music or comedian Jim Gaffigan. One of the best ideas I heard was to buy an Atlas — a good old-fashioned paper map — so kids can get a perspective of where they are headed and associate landmarks. You could consider cutting loose and make unplanned stops or even side trips to nearby landmarks. Having the kids plan the stops can also help stretch out the bathroom breaks. A deck of cards or other travel games are good to have on hand, too. And of course, load up the tunes on your phone so the family can experience some American history through music. What other time will your kids listen to John Denver, Elvis, Loretta Lynn or Willie Nelson? Your family becomes a captive audience on a road trip – make the most of it. Sports injuries Last winter I sat out the ski season after injuring my shoulder on the first run of the year at Red Lodge, Montana. We met up with my sister, Julie, and her family, and as we started off on a green run my ski pre-released and I sailed into the trees. I knew right away something was wrong with my shoulder. However, since it was our one trip of the year I finished out the day and continued to ski a few more days at the next mountain Big Sky. I later learned that my shoulder was fractured, and if I had fallen again I likely would have had a major injury requiring surgery. With lots of physical therapy, it took about eight months before I could water ski and 10 months before my shoulder felt normal. I understand the anxiousness of wanting to get back into the game following an injury, and it seems especially true when it comes to youth athletes. It can be a real dilemma for parents to force their kid to sit out for the full recommended time following an injury or concussion. It’s important to take the time needed to let injuries heal before getting back into activity and not push it too soon. Missing a few games or even a whole season due to an injury isn’t fun, but better than going back too soon and taking a risk that an injury becomes a lifelong problem. We can be thankful for great medical care in our area so we can be treated properly when injuries happen. Stay fit, stay flexible and keep active in the things that spur your passion.

WASHINGTON COUNTY POLICE REPORTS BEST OF 2016 The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the following BEST OF incidents during 2016: BY LORETTA B. HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The button, the button; who’s got the button? A Forest Lake woman, 22, was arrested at 1:01 a.m. Jan. 28 on Frenchman Road and Oneka Parkway on a narcotic charge after deputies pulled her vehicle over for a missing license plate and smelled a strong odor of marijuana. When deputies asked her and the other occupant whether there was an illegal substance in the vehicle, both occupants said no. Deputies said, “I can smell it; where is it?” After a search, the marijuana turned up in a bag at the feet of the subject, along with drug paraphernalia. The case of the Vanishing Vodka. A Hugo woman, 60, was mailed a citation for theft at 8:52 a.m. April 6 after she and her sister stole two bottles of liquor from On The Rocks Wine & Spirits on Victor Hugo Blvd. N. After being advised to watch out for the two women, employees at their former place of employment observed them buy a bottle of wine, then proceed to the hard liquor aisle. Video surveillance showed the $11 bottle of Phillips vodka that the subject picked up completely disappear when she turned around. Video evidence also shows an $11 bottle of Windsor Canadian whiskey disappear into her sister’s purse. Somebody needs a speed bag. A Circle Pines man, 22, was cited at 11:04 p.m. April 13 in the 15000 block of Forest Blvd. N. for disorderly conduct and fourth-degree criminal damage to property after “hanging out” and becoming intoxicated before punching out everything in sight and leaving with his girlfriend. The subject punched the concrete exterior of a wash house, the windows on his vehicle and his friend’s 32-inch flat screen TV. Just another day at the office. One Domino’s pizza delivery driver backed into another Domino’s pizza delivery driver at 7:58 p.m. April 29 in the parking lot in the 14000 block of Forest Blvd. N., after the driver backing up didn’t see the other driver right behind him waiting to drive into his parking spot. Minor damage was sustained by one of the vehicles. Yes, and what else? A Hugo man, 27, was arrested at 2:15 a.m. April 30 on Geneva Avenue N. and 147th Street N. for second-degree DWI and failure to provide proof of insurance, after deputies observed him make an unusually wide turn northbound from Frenchman Road and fail to stay within his lane. Deputies smelled alcohol, and the subject confi rmed that he had had two beers. The subject tested .20 on the field sobriety test. Deputies seized the subject’s license plates due to a previous DWI conviction in 2011. They don’t make driver’s ed teachers like they used to. A Forest Lake youth was issued a verbal warning at 4:06 p.m. June 4 on 157th Avenue N. and Foxhill Avenue N. for expired tabs after being pulled over for turning in front of eastbound deputies and forcing them to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. The youth’s father, riding shotgun and supervising his son’s driving practice, was issued an insurance request form for failure to provide proof of insurance. If the father doesn’t submit the form in a timely manner, he will be cited. Caveat Emptor. A patron of the Super America station on Forest Blvd. N. at 7:19 p.m. June 7 reported being approached by a short, dark-haired man in his 40’s with a shaggy beard trying to sell a set of new speakers. After reducing the asking price from $700 to $250, the complainant bought the speakers, which were sealed in a box that had never been opened. When the box was opened for the first time ever, the complainant found a set of old speakers filled with concrete cinder blocks. But we can. A Hugo man, 20, was arrested at 12:00 p.m. June 17 at the Super America on Forest Blvd. N. when he threatened an employee who wouldn’t sell him cigarettes, saying he had a gun.

County officers train for water survival at Forest Lake Y FOREST LAKE — Among the regular swimmers in the Forest Lake YMCA pool last week were a handful of fully clothed law enforcement officers from multiple state counties. Officers were practicing some essential skills that could one day save their lives and ensure the safety of the people they protect. Washington County Deputy Russ Fox was instrumental in inviting two water safety and survival instructors from RAD Training Inc. in Florida for three days of intensive training. RAD is based on a peninsula in Florida, where water training is an essential skill and taught to most of the local law enforcement agencies. The crash course focused both on rescue situations and preparation for the emergency situation in which an officer might be pushed into the water and forced to evade an assailant. Officers wear their full uniform, footwear and weights on their body to simulate their duty weapon, electronics and the other tools they frequently carry on patrol. Officers are taught how to effectively tread water and control their breathing,

Officers either do a number of pushups or are spun several times before being pushed into the water, to demonstrate their ability to recover quickly from strain.
as well as how to use their weapon in the water. Fox had worked with RAD trainers before for courthouse violence, narcotics and patrol training for Washington County officers. Originally, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office had planned to schedule the training at Oak-Land Junior High in Lake Elmo, but the pool’s limited availability forced them to search for another location. It just so happens that YMCA employee April Yetter is married to Washington County Deputy Brandon Yetter, who suggested the community center. The training was open to any department that wanted to send officers, which included participants from Washington, Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, St. Croix County and more, as well as DNR employees. The training was not limited to water patrol officers, but is especially useful to those who patrol in boats. Fox said that winter is a slow time of year for many of the departments, making December an ideal time for the training to take place.
