STILLWATER — The Washington County Historic Courthouse on Pine Street celebrated 150 years with a community event that included historical re-enactors, performers, guest speakers and more June 3. The event was also in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil War Monument located on the courthouse grounds. The courthouse’s history is closely intertwined with that of the Civil War. Historian Ken Martens spoke during the celebration to tell the story of Sam Bloomer, one of the most influential Stillwater veterans of the Civil War. Bloomer was famous for his heroics as a flag bearer in the First Minnesota Regiment of Infantry. “In one incident in 1862, Sam Bloomer was promoted to serve in the color guard of the First Minnesota Regiment of Infantry,” Martens said. “After a few battles, his color sergeant carrying the flag entered the battle and was immediately shot and fell dead from a standing position. The flag was going down to SEE COURTHOUSE, PAGE 10
Family finally finds the Golden Spike BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — After years of searching for the Golden Spike, a Hugo family of four was thrilled to be the ones to actually find it during Good Neighbor Days this year. Sean Noren and his wife, Kerry, along with their children Mason, 10, Ava, 7, and Noah, 5, were all together when they found the Golden Spike around 5:45 p.m. Saturday, June 10 in Lions Park along the third base fenceline of the east ballfield. The Noren family has lived in Hugo
since 2004 and has searched for the Spike every year since 2009. “The first year I looked for it, it ended up being almost in our backyard and that’s what got me going,” Sean explained (it was hidden in Diamond Point Park that year). “I have pretty much gotten close every single year. There have been times where I’ve walked right on it and almost touched it and didn’t get it at least two or three times. I’ve been in the mix when it was found a couple times.” In the beginning Noren searched for the Spike by himself, but as Mason has gotten older, he has enjoyed
teaming up with his dad to be his search partner. The Noren family didn’t have time to start searching for Spike this year until Saturday. Sean and Mason went out earlier in the day to scout out the parks and even went to Lions Park around 2 p.m., but did not go far enough into the park to spot the misspelled vehicle sign referenced in the bonus clue which, Sean said, would have tipped them off to fi nding Spike. Later that day, Clue #9 was pubSEE SPIKE, PAGE 3

SPIKE: Longtime searchers strike gold FROM PAGE 1
lished and the Noren family knew Spike was in Lions Park. “We skipped church so we could fi nd the Spike. We did go Sunday morning and redeemed ourselves,” Kerry said, laughing. The family headed over to Lions Park. After 10-20 minutes of searching, family members stumbled across the plastic tent peg, otherwise known as Spike, fi rst created as a treasure hunt in 2006 — Hugo’s Centennial year — to commemorate the city’s railroad history. “We were the only ones around it at the time. Everyone else was scattered in the lawn and by the road. There was maybe 20-30 people around,” Sean recalled. “It was exciting. I’ve been looking for this thing for years. It was almost too easy in a sense, because we didn’t have to work too hard this time.” Kerry added there have been times in past years where Sean has spent hours at a time searching for Spike. Sean said he enjoys the search.
“I like to try to solve puzzles and problems. It’s also fun to explore the areas of Hugo that we wouldn’t normally go see.” Mason added, “I like using my knowledge and seeing the history around Hugo.” In addition, the search is more fun with family. The money is a perk, too. The Norens received $600 in cash, $125 in gift cards to local businesses and a pair of Ordway tickets. Sean said the family has not decided how they are going to use the money just yet, but might use some of it for a 10day trip to the North Shore in August. Mason hopes to use some of the prize money to purchase a Nintendo Switch, which he has saved up for. He currently has $175 saved and estimates he needs around $300 total for the purchase. One could say, the search for the Golden Spike has become a yearly family tradition. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizen@presspubs.com.

Golden Spike clues explained Clues 1-4 gave the minimum of background information for those who may not have read the rules. The Spike Hunt always officially kicks off on Thursday morning of Good Neighbor Days with Clue 4.
CLUE 1 Spring winds have done their bit of blowin,’ It’s now been weeks since it stopped snowin.’ The dates are set, June 8 through 11: Good Neighbor Days is back, thank heaven! At Lions Park, four days of fun. The kids will love it: school is done!
CLUE 2 Spike can be found cooling his heel(s) On public land at a Hugo park. Listen to this earnest appeal (Don’t be left out in the dark) — Leave the shovel at home as your good deed. Read Spike’s rules. They’re easy to read.
CLUE 3 Spike’s the grail of the serious searcher, But the love for questing must be nurtured. Bring the spouse, the progeny To the city’s parks—there are now eighteen. Before you set upon this feat, A Golden Ticket you can complete To maximize your revenue (That’s what serious hunters do — But you don’t have to if you don’t want to.)
CLUE 4 Get off the couch and shake a leg; Head out to find that little peg. Make sure to “load” your treasure app. Psssssssst — a hint: it’s called a map!3
CLUE 5 Eighteen parks dot Hugo’s map. Don’t believe it? Read the list — There are new ones. Get the gist? He is lost who hesitates, So go and circumnavigate!
Clue 5 hints at a park that is surrounded on all sides by adjacent streets. Lions Park, like several other parks, can be circled by cars and bicycles (and rollerbladers and strollers …)
CLUE 6 Rumor has it Spike is keen On the wearin’ o’ the green, So set aside your presupposin’. Where he hides we’re not disclosin’.
Clue 6 intimates that Spike just might not look gold where he is hidden. And that was true: the top of the peg protruding from the ground was actually wrapped in green florist tape. The clue also hints at a large expanse of grass in the park.
CLUE 7 Heritage builds community; Of its parts, it is the sum — ‘Cause 10’s the same as 2 plus 8. (Now THAT you should appreciate.)
Clue 7 is the first direct hint that Spike was hidden in Lions Park. Lions Park has been around for a very long time, and has been the “center” of the Village of Hugo even before the village merged with Oneka Township in 1972. Moreover, up until recently Lions Park was 8 acres in size. With the addition of 2 acres following the development of Keystone Place at LaValle Fields, the park is now 10 acres (which attentive readers of The Citizen would know). The Hugo Parks Department also recently updated its website to show that the park is now 10 acres in size.
CLUE 8 History has left its little traces Throughout this park. In its green spaces The pride of our community welled And a four-legged ghost makes its memory felt.
“The pride of our community welled” in Clue 8 is a play on words blending the importance of Lions Park to the city’s history and also the presence of the fi rst city well (and the municipal wellhouse visible from the park). The “four-legged ghost” is a reference to the city’s fi rst water tower, which was dismantled more than 10 years ago in Lions Park. One citizen group lobbied to keep it as a historical landmark but eventually it was removed for purposes of public safety.
BONUS CLUE Don’t go searching willy nilly —On side roads signed to ban “vechiles.” But you are near the right “pélouse”: It’s a race to find the golden goose. Just eyeball the hypotenuse.
For those who took the time to pick up the bonus clue at Key Automotive, it held some good information. Adjacent to Lions Park is the side road leading to the city’s wellhouse behind the St. John’s Cemetery. There is a sign posted at the entrance to that driveway prohibiting all but official “vechiles.” Not everyone would notice the misspelling of “vehicles” at fi rst glance, but it made a great clue. “Pelouse” is a French word referring to “lawn,” and “race” refers to the Color Run held that morning by Oneka Elementary School students, a race that terminated in the park. “Hypotenuse” refers to a line drawn from the sign at the northwest corner of the park to the park’s southeast corner. Spike lay not far off of that line.
CLUE 9 And so we come to the grand finale Of this year’s hunt for the gold, by golly! We won’t say where he’s concealed, But little Spike’s not far afield. Take some time to play and hover (But you don’t have to pay the cover).
“Finale” refers to the road along the west side of Lions Park; Spike lying “not far afield” refers to the softball field where he was hidden. The reference to “play” refers to the carnival and Midway for Good Neighbor Days, and “paying the cover” was an attempt to indicate that Spike was not hidden in the beer garden or music venue, where searchers might be asked to pay a cover charge (we play fair).
CLUE 10 Spike loves people, as you know, So to Lions Park you must needs go. Where an infield foul leaves the third base line d By a dugout entrance you will find Spike heads up, his cap in green! e.) (Dust him off, don’t make a scene.)
Although the final clue was as never posted, this clue givess a pretty good description of where the Spike Finders found him m sticking out of the ground on n the west side of the softball field next to the northerly dugoutt entrance inside of the chain n link fence. Thanks to all the participants who hunted forr the Golden Spike this year, and our great sponsors!

F YOU ARE living in an older home that likely has lead pipes, for your health and safety it might be a good idea to run the water for 30 seconds to two minutes before using it for drinking or cooking. This information comes from the Portland, Oregon Water Bureau. They suggest using cold water for cooking and baby formula. Avoid the hot water tap for cooking and drinking. They also suggest cleaning the faucet aerator periodically and having your children tested for lead. When replacing plumbing, be sure to buy those without lead or a low lead content in the About the fixtures. THE LAKE LEVEL of White Bear Lake is now at its highest Town in 11 years, being a few inches Gene Johnson over the high norm. That’s pleasing to local homeowners, boaters and swimmers that we will now have lifeguards at Ramsey County Beach. A lot of vegetation including scrub trees grew in shallow areas during the drought period. Some of that will die off leaving tree stubs and more vegetation decaying on the bottom. I didn’t like the recent story in the Star Tribune suggesting White Bear Lake is nothing but a mud hole, but I would agree there are bays with decayed and decaying vegetation that could be dredged or vacuumed out. It’s hard to manage natural resources when there are so many layers of government that are involved. It is still a beautiful sheet of water, as Mark Twain once said. AT THIS MOMENT the Dow is over 20,000. If there is a 100 point drop, it would only be a half a percent drop. Back in the seventies when the Dow was 861, a 100 point drop equaled an 11.6 percent drop. I don’t know if that makes you feel better or not. One has to take the total in perspective for a percentage factor. ON SATURDAY, MAY 20, area residents turned out in huge numbers to support Paul Auger and his family while he is recovering from Guillain-Barre disease. The lower level of the Village Sports Bar fi lled with supporters bringing greetings, bidding in the silent auction, celebrating with the Winter Carnival entourage, and enjoying tacos and beverages. A good number of fundraisers take place all over to assist people who have suffered a loss or tragedy. It’s a great way to help, not only financially but to give them encouragement and hope. WITH THE TREND toward online buying from the big competitors like Walmart, Target and others, we see retailers making adjustments with online shipping, store pickup and free returns. The future of malls could end up being office buildings. If you want to keep a community and its business district alive, shop at home as much as you can. Price, convenience and fast delivery have attracted a lot of retail dollars to the giant known as Amazon, now with a Twin Cities distribution center. Our local business owners traditionally do their best to accommodate your needs and provide good service. WHITE BEAR HIGH School’s soft-spoken superintendent Michael Lovett is stepping aside after nine years of providing good leadership to the district. He provided a strong emphasis on writing, communication and moving the bar up throughout the district. He leaves the district several notches up from his tenure. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.
Stay engaged in academics this summer
A
s parents make plans for the summer I want to encourage you to set up a schedule for your elementary students to read and do math. By keeping students actively engaged it truly can give them a “leg up” in the fall and in their academic career. In a March 18, 2013 article by Mary Wennersten, M.Ed. she started her artiMovers & cle out with: “What is the single most Shakers important year of Wayne an individual’s academic career? Whitwam The answer is not junior year of high school, or senior year of college. It is third grade. What makes success in third grade so pivotal? It is the year that students move from learning to read — decoding words using their knowledge of the alphabet — to reading to learn. The books children are expected to master no longer are simple primers, but fact-filled informational texts.” I attended a reading workshop by Richard Allington, a scholar and researcher at the University of Tennessee, and what I learned from the conference was that the number one thing
that children can do to improve reading is to put in the time and read. The bottom line is to fi nd books at your child’s level, in which they have an interest, have them read, and then ask questions about what they have read. In addition to reading and interacting with younger children, especially kindergarten, a great computer resource I recommend is www. starfall.com/. For math, there are lots of apps out there for math facts or you can use old fashioned flash cards. As a family, we
made games out of things like guessing the total amount at the checkout when we went grocery shopping to give our children practice with math. I know children need to take time to just play in the summer, but in this competitive academic world, I believe we need to continue to invest the time now to give our children an advantage in the future.

Bridging the gap between school lunch and SNAP
I wouldn’t be able to eat and would probably get sick if I didn’t have SNAP” I heard one senior neighbor say last week. With the president’s recent budget proposal to cut funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formally known as food stamps, our neighbors at the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf (WBAEFS) are expressing their concern. In the U.S, 45 million people, just 14 percent of the population, are enrolled in SNAP, with an average benefit amount of only $1.40 per person per meal. To be eligible for SNAP, a household of four cannot earn more than $40,100 annually…before taxes. With Trump’s budget proposal, $191 billion would be slashed from the SNAP program over the next decade, with the aim to get people working. However, SNAP already requires
adults without children to work at least 20 hours a week to be eligible. Most of the families with children already work, but the earnings are just not enough, reflecting the issue of low wage jobs. Movers and Gaps often exist in assistance proShakers grams, resulting in some families falling Kristen Wanta through the cracks. We frequently learn off ffamilies kids are getting ili whose h reduced school lunch, but they are not quite eligible for SNAP benefits. The income cut off for reduced lunch is $45,500 for a family of four, slightly higher than the cut off for SNAP. Our job at the WBAEFS is to help bridge the gap for our neighbors who earn too much to qualify or are not
“ Gaps often exist in assistance programs, resulting in some families falling through the cracks.” getting enough assistance to support their family. In any given month, over 590 families come to the food shelf, and many earn just dollars above the income cap for these programs. In addition to our Market Shopping and weekly Bonus Friday, we partner with the White Bear School District to offer a KID Pack Program — a free, supplemental weekend food program for students. Summer is a difficult time for many families. Only about 15 percent of kids who rely on free and reduced-priced lunches during the school year continue to access summer meal programs. We are pleased to continue our KID Pack Program
for students enrolled this summer at Birch Lake, Vadnais Heights and Lincoln Elementary Schools, and Central Middle School. Everyone deserves easy access to healthy food options. SNAP, the school meal program, and our work at the food shelf together all help ensure our neighbors are healthy and food secure.

Kristen Wanta is community resource coordinator of White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Music in the Park article There is a negative and unintended implication in the otherwise excellent article, “Centerville offers residents a musical summer,” published May 25. “The idea (Music in the Parks) came about after a pool of money was sitting around from runners’ entry fees from the Centerville 8K Run.” That remark could not be farther from the truth. It implies the lack of a preconceived purpose or intended benefit to be derived from the Centerville 8K Run. It belittles the long hours and hard work of everyone who volunteers to make the 8K run a success. It implies to the Centerville businesses that their sponsorship is not really needed, and it implies to the runners that the city is unnecessarily collecting user fees. In 2008 Centerville was faced with deep budget reductions. The Parks Committee took its share of that reduction. As a new member of the committee, I proposed adding the 8K Run to the city’s annual Fête des Lacs celebration to offset the budget reduction and continue improving city parks and trails. Live music in the parks was originally proposed by the LaValle family,
local musicians and longtime residents of Centerville. Tom Lee, the thenCity Council member overseeing the Parks Committee, recommended a professional quality sound system. From a long list of needed park improvements, the Parks Committee selected music in the parks as its top priority. July 23 will mark the ninth year for the Fête des Lacs 5K and 8K runs. Over the years, the proceeds — supplemented by donations from the Centerville Lions and Dead Broke Saddle Club — have paid for a sand volleyball court, basketball court, sliding hill, electrical upgrades in LaMotte park, and five park benches in addition to the sound equipment. This Fête des Lacs event has saved Centerville residents thousands in tax dollars. None of this would be possible without the support of the City Council, volunteers, local business sponsors and, of course, the runners.

Legislators, elected officials and community members celebrate rail funding Many legislators, elected officials, chamber members and representatives from companies along Highway 61 gathered to celebrate the allocation of $1.5 million in bonding money for repairs to the Minnesota Commercial Railway line from St. Paul to Hugo Tuesday, June 13. The repairs are estimated to save 500 jobs, as some of the companies may have had to relocate if the rail was shut down.

Bloomer was extremely well respected by citizens of the city. “Sam Bloomer was the kind of hero that you could trust with $50,” Martens said. When Bloomer came back from the Civil War, he found a wallet laying on the ground in downtown Stillwater and it had $50 in it. He put an ad in the paper, saying that anyone who could identify the wallet could have it. “It’s that kind of integrity and character that Sam Bloomer had, to the point where he was elected St. Croix County treasurer in 1888 and served for three terms,” Martens said. “That’s the kind of character and integrity that the city of Stillwater is built on. You can trust Sam Bloomer with $50, you can trust Sam Bloomer with the county treasury and you can trust Sam Bloomer with your life if you’re in a fight.” Bloomer was also instrumental in establishing the Civil War monument at the courthouse.

Wagners offers summer garden trends and tips BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Hoping to spruce up the lawn and garden this summer? Steve McCoy, manager of Wagners Garden Center located on Everton Avenue just off Frenchman Road in Hugo, offers green thumbs a variety of tips for adding color, vegetables or just a fresh look to local flower beds.
Flowering trends Geraniums are a longtime favorite for Wagners customers — the red variety remains the most popular. McCoy noted, “We're known for our geraniums and poinsettias.” But those aren't the only annuals they sell. A large quantity of flowers is currently available, and they are all grown on the Wagners property. One spectacular new bloom available at Wagners this year is the purple and white Night Sky Petunia, aptly named due to the white, starlike specks dotting the dark purple blossom. McCoy said, “They change periodically through the season … it's gorgeous.” This year, Wagners also sells impatiens called SunPatiens that can take more sun than conventional varieties of impatiens. This hardy, thick-petaled style with thicker stems is fitting for areas of the yard that receive hot afternoon sun.
Fruits and veggies “Growing your own fruits and vegetables is becoming more popular,” McCoy said. “People are wanting to get more organic.” One strategy to grow vegetables at home is to use

straw bales. McCoy said, “We're doing more straw bale gardening, where you buy a bale of straw, and you condition the bale and you actually plant the vegetables in the bale so there's no soil involved. At the end of the year, you can use the leftover straw as mulch or you could compost. There's no waste.” McCoy added that because a large
percentage of the Hugo population lives in condominiums and townhouses, growing vegetables in pots on a balcony or deck is also popular. As far as growing tips, McCoy said, “I usually tell people not to water from the top; water from the soil, and always mulch the top because it helps prevent diseases. I use paper from my shredder as mulch.” For the novice attempting homegrown vegetables, McCoy advised growers to “stay away from the heirloom tomatoes … they are very touchy. Stay with the hybrids. Hybrids are heartier and more diseaseresistant.”
Attracting hummingbirds
JULIA ARNOLD | SUBMITTED
Cultivating a fairy garden indoors or out is a popular hobby. Wagner’s sells miniature houses, figurines and accessories for fairy garden enthusiasts.
The hummingbird season is short in Minnesota. McCoy said to attract those minuscule, elusive avians, get out the feeders now and “make sure that the flowers you plant are throated, or trumpet.” He said the little birds love honeysuckle, the trumpet vine, snapdragons and salvias. For store-bought hummingbird feeders, McCoy advises people to make their own nectar. He warned that a
study out now suggests not to put the red food coloring in the hummingbird food because it can cause kidney problems. “The recipe I use is four parts water to one part sugar.” No coloring is needed.
Planting the seed Parents and grandparents frequent Wagners Garden Center with their children and grandchildren to purchase trendy pint-sized gardening supplies such as small trowels, gardening gloves and rakes. Wagners also sells fairy garden supplies, another popular hobby among the young and young at heart. This year, the retail store is selling diminutive houses shaped like pinecones and strawberries, as well as small walkways, benches and birdhouses, all scaled to fairy size. Fairy gardens can be cultivated outdoors as well as indoors with house plants. Wagners Hugo store is located at 4860 Frenchman Road N. It is open 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday; 8 a.m.7 p.m. Saturday; and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday. Find more information online at www.wagnersgreenhouses.com.

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its June 14 meeting: • After a discussion, tabled action on a proposals from Lynn & Associates for organization review services and HueLife for employee engagement/ organization review services. Council members said they would like to look at offerings from other organizations before making a decision. • Granted a demolition extension until July 17 to Waterworks owner Richard Defoe, who had requested a 30-day extension to demolish the site at 7281 Main St. because he has a contractor interested in salvaging the interior woodwork. DeFoe had agreed to complete the demolition by Aug. 1, but council will direct DeFoe to complete the demolition before the start of Fête des Lacs on July 18. • By a vote of 3-2 (Paar and Council Member D. Love opposed) approved the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation of WSB & Associates to provide professional consulting services in the amount of $33,000 to update the 2040 Comprehensive Plan according to Metropolitan Council requirements. • The proposal was $10,000 less than the proposal from the city’s regular engineering fi rm, Stantec, who proposed an amount from $43,983 to $48,834. WSB is working with many of the cities in the area, Ericson said. The Comprehensive Plan is a very open-ended project, City Engineer Mark Statz of Stantec said. “Money talks,” Councilman Steve King said. • Directed city staff to begin the process of preparing and publishing a notice of public hearing regarding the modification of the city’s Economic Development Authority (EDA). As part of the 2017 City Council focus goals, the city will reorganize the current city EDA— currently made up of five members of council— to a fivemember board made up of two sitting council members and three Centerville residents. • According to Minnesota state statutes, the fi rst step in forming an EDA is to have a public hearing. The general public must be notified of a public hearing not more than 30 days in advance and published in the local newspaper for two consecutive weeks. • Approved the Parks and Recreation recommendation to appoint Heidi Grahek as a committee member. Council members commended and thanked Grahek for all her work in the community. “She attended one meeting already and was a warm addition to the committee,” Ericson said. • Approved the Parks and Recreation Committee’s recommendation to grant a special event permit for the Fête des Lacs 5K/8K Walk/ Run & Kids 1/2 Mile to be held at Hidden Spring Park on LaMotte Drive, on Centerville Road and on park trails around Centerville Lake. The event is scheduled for 7-10 a.m. July 22. The council next meets at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 28 at City Hall, 1880 Main St. Loretta B. Harding

HUGO BITS & PIECES The Hugo City Council conducted the following business at its June 5 meeting: • Approved Rachel Leitz’s withdrawal of her letter of resignation. Leitz decided not to take a job offer in Iowa and wishes to remain employed as community development assistant with the city of Hugo. • Approved a site plan for seven mini-storage buildings totaling 21,700 square feet for a facility to be known as Gopher State Ministorage. The 3.27-acre lot is located north of 152nd Street and east of Forest Boulevard in the Peloquin Industrial Park. • Officially met Deputy Greg Reiter. He replaces Deputy Joe Zerwas, who is the new Hugo investigator. Sgt. Joe Stoehr introduced Reiter, noting he started 20 years ago with the department. Reiter received Deputy of the Year in 2008 involving a shooting case in Lake Elmo and most recently worked in the courts system. He is also a Hugo resident and “loves” the city. “There’s a great variety of everything here,” Reiter said, adding he looks forward to protecting the residents of Hugo. He is working the day shift. • Recognized Byron Anderson of Hugo for the Lifetime Achievement Award he received from the
Washington County Board of Commissioners. Anderson has been a leader of the Town of May 4-H Club for 45 years. Council presented him with a certificate of appreciation. Anderson fi gures he’s mentored at least 1,000 youth in 4-H projects that range from livestock and robotics to photography. Mayor Tom Weidt congratulated Anderson on his volunteerism in the community. • Approved a special use permit for a Tough Mudder event at Wild Wings Game Farm July 14-16. One resident spoke up about the “horrendous” traffic the event generates on Egg Lake Road. The mayor said this is the fi rst complaint the city has received. Residents in the area have or will be notified by the city of the anticipated traffic. • Awarded the contract for Waters Edge Water Reuse project to Peterson Companies for $348,000, one of two bids received. The engineer’s estimate was $403,000. The total project will cost $471,600 including contingency and indirect costs. The city is responsible for $241,600 after a $230,000 grant is received. Money will come from the stormwater fund. • Concurred with the Parks Commission’s recommendation to keep the Goodview Avenue property a
city-owned park available for public use. Staff was directed to remove brush and make other improvements to improve visibility. A picnic table will possibly be added as the property could be used as a trailhead or rest stop when a trail planned on the west side of Goodview is constructed. The park closes at dusk. • Approved revision of parking ordinances. In review of the code, staff has found existing parking requirements to be excessive. Some of the revisions under a revised code include one parking space per three seats for restaurants and churches. Retail space will be required to have one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. Also, no person shall park any vehicle or trailer on any street for an excess of 72 hours. • Approved an ordinance regulating swimming pools. For information on the new requirements, refer to the city website. • Approved the appointment of fi refi ghter Greg Millard as chief engineer on the Hugo Fire Department. He replaces Roland Guareschi, who resigned to take an engineer position. Debra Neutkens
Centerville passes new ordinance Personnel board will oversee city employee issues BY LORETTA B. HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The city of Centerville has just approved a new ordinance that has more to do with its employees than its citizens. After a lengthy discussion at its June 14 meeting, the Centerville City Council voted 4-1 (Councilman Matthew Montain opposed) to add a new section (31.03), Establishment of Personnel Board to Chapter 31 of the city code. By a vote of 4-0 (Montain abstaining), council also appointed Montain and Mayor Jeff Paar to sit on the board, along with City Attorney Kurt Glaser. The Personnel Board, which will consist of two council members and the city attorney, will evaluate the work performance of the city administrator, examine employmentrelated activities and policy questions, assist with union contract negotiations and make recommendations of all activities to council. According to the ordinance, the board will also “recommend hiring, termination or suspension of any department head or administrator for violating the law as it relates to employment and criminal behavior, dereliction of duty or other employment infractions, effective until the next council meeting when they may affi rm, modify or rescind the suspension.” Council members were reluctant to spend more money in legal fees to form a personnel board. Montain, who opposed passing the ordinance, said he needed more information before he would be ready to approve the new ordinance. City Administrator Mike Ericson wondered
whether there was an issue necessitating a personnel committee and whether there was a sense of urgency. “This is an ordinance — a big deal,” he said. Paar noted that if a staff member had a complaint about another staff member, they would go to the city administrator, but if they were to have a complaint about the city administrator, who would they go to? “I believe the city needs a personnel board, and it ties in with organizational review as well,” Paar said. “The board can be a tool to promote harmony at City Hall, as well as address any concerns that may come up.” Montain cautioned council. “No one is spending as much money on attorney fees as we are.” The city would have to pay its city attorney to sit on the board. “This proposal should be kicked around and talked about a little,” Councilman Russ Koski said. Paar then spoke reluctantly, but with a sense of urgency, about friction at City Hall, saying he had received complaints from both staff and city administrator alike through emails and phone calls. “I believe we need this to get issues worked out. We need to start somewhere,” he said. “We need to have this board so that we can work on making things better. We need to pass it tonight and get working on it.” Council quickly got to work to pass the ordinance, and as soon as it passed, Paar thanked the council for “drilling down and moving the ordinance forward.”

Dead Broke Saddle Club hosts High School Rodeo Finals BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Every year, the best high school rodeo competitors in Minnesota compete at the Minnesota High School Rodeo State Finals hosted by the Dead Broke Saddle Club in Hugo. Skilled riders participate in many fast-paced events throughout the weekend schedule, including team roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing and bareback riding and other events. There is also an awards ceremony and a royalty coronation for the annually crowned “Queen of the Rodeo.” This year, in its 19th season, from June 8-11, the event went on as scheduled despite record heat on Saturday and a hailstorm on Sunday morning. The Dead Broke Saddle Club, Forest Lake Chrysler Jeep and Dodge Ram, Forest Lake Sanitation and MidWest One Bank in Forest Lake all sponsored the event, and event champions received custom saddles by RS Saddlery & Gist Buckles.
The MHSRA The Minnesota High School Rodeo Association (MHSRA) is a self-supporting, nonprofit organization supporting statewide involvement of students in grades 6-12 with a mission to “promote the positive image of the rodeo, preserve the Western Heritage and maintain the highest regard for the livestock.” The organization stresses the importance of education among its members and offers a scholarship program to help further member education. The Dead Broke Saddle Club is a nonprofit organization that promotes and sponsors equestrian activities for youth. The Dead Broke Saddle Club has hosted the High School Rodeo State Finals since 1998. Saddle Club President Tom Schaffhausen said, “This is a culmination of 13 regions around the state of Minnesota of their rodeos. This is the grand finale.

Rodeo participants warm up before their events during the MN High School State Rodeo Finals hosted by the Dead Broke Saddle Club.
Whatever they do here today will qualify them to go on to the nationals in Gillette, Wyoming.”
Queen for a year The queen contest is a competition for the girls of each state in the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA). The queen is selected based on her judged performance in eight categories, including a personal interview, written test and horsemanship. This year’s honor was given to Cheyenne Owens, a junior in high school in Truman, Minnesota. Owens said she was honored to be this year’s queen. She said, “My dad first put us on a horse when we were 1 … I’m really honored. To be able to get the word of rodeo out to everyone is really nice. When I have kids, I want them to be in rodeo too.” As queen, Owens will attend rodeo events throughout the year to help spread the word about the association.
Young riders, big dreams Tate Promersberger and his sister Alexis, from Littlefork, Minnesota, both competed in this year’s state finals. Tate competed in the team roping, calf roping and bull riding sections; Alexis participated in the barrel racing, pole bending, team roping and breakaway events. They were both thrilled to be in the finals; they have ridden, as Tate said, “as long as I can remember.” Victoria Skiba from Cambridge took third place in the final goat-tying event, which she described as “basically running down, jumping off your horse and tying a goat.” Skiba has been goat tying in rodeo events for six years with her horse, Baby. “It’s very exciting, because

it means I’m in the top 10 and I have a chance to go to nationals,” she said on the final day of the competition. Jaida Hagen, 15, of Elk River, was in the barrels and poles events with her horse, Juniper’s Leo. Hagen has ridden since she was just 6 years old. She said, “It means a lot to take part in this. A lot of dedication, blood, sweat and tears.” Find a complete list of winners and finalists: http://www.mnhsrodeo.com/wp-content/ uploads/2015/08/2017_HSNational_Team.pdf.

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.

“47 METERS DOWN” (PG-13) [SEQUENCES OF INTENSE PERIL, BLOODY IMAGES AND BRIEF STRONG LANGUAGE.]
— When two sisters (Mandy Moore and Clair Holt) foolishly accept an invitation by two men (Yani Gellman and Santiago Segura) they just met the night before to go scuba diving and to see great white sharks up close during their vacation to Mexico in this disappointing, love-or-skip-it, unevenly paced, tepid, low-budget, 89-minute thriller with a lackluster soundtrack and reminiscent of the superior film “The Shallows,” the adventure quickly goes from bad to worse after they board a rust-bucket boat owned by a well-meaning captain (Matthew Modine) and then get into a questionable, supposedly protective cage.

After a three-week dry spell, shower activity picked up a bit, with 1.08 inches falling between June 11-18. The little over an inch is what we would expect this time of year and hope to get to keep lawns green. Temperatures took a break this past week as did humidity levels, as cooler and drier Canadian air moved in. The weekend proved to be nice with Sunday barely making it into the 70`s. Congratulations to those runners who ran Grandma`s Marathon this past weekend, including running friend Chris Lahren who ran a PB of 3:22!

“MY COUSIN RACHEL” (PG-13) [SOME SEXUALITY AND BRIEF STRONG LANGUAGE.]
— Striking cinematography, scenery, and sets highlight this well-acted, convoluted, unpredictable, 106-minute remake of the 1952 film adapted from Daphne Du Maurier’s novel in which a suspicious, handsome Brit (Sam Claflin) in 19th-century England ignores his romantic feelings for longtime childhood friend (Holliday Grainger) and becomes obsessed with his beautiful widowed cousin (Rachel Weisz) whom he suspects may have poisoned her husband to inherit his substantial wealth.

Fun Fact You cannot snore and dream at the same time.
— A low-key, quirky, humorous, star-dotted (Colin Hanks, Jamie Chung, Jesse Wesley Williams, Brooklyn Decker, Chris D’Ella, Retta, Susie Essman, Ravi Patel, Erinn Hayes, Hannah Simone and Angelique Cabral), 91-minute comedy in which a frustrated, long-married California Uber driver (Zoe Lister-Jones) decides to compose songs with her lazy husband (Adam Pally) about their contentious relationship and their continual fighting, and start a band called Dirty Dishes with their oddball, sex-addict, drum-playing next door neighbor (Fred Armisen).
— When a troubled, animal-loving, psychic healing Mexican masseuse (Salma Hayek) unexpectedly gets invited to stay for dinner with other guests (Jay Duplass, Chloë Sevigny and Amy Landecker) at an elegant party at the posh seaside mansion of her clients (Connie Britton and David Warshofsky) after her car breaks down in their driveway in this thought-provoking, well-acted, unusual, unpredictable, 83-minute film, the atmosphere becomes electric and intense as she finds herself becoming more and more agitated as she realizes that she knows one of the guests as a brash, arrogant, unapologetic hotel mogul (John Lithgow) and ruthless real estate developer.
