Self-service tab renewal kiosks coming Getting your tabs may soon be as easy as withdrawing cash from an ATM. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says Minnesotans will soon see bright yellow kiosks at deputy registrar offices and grocery stores.

The kiosks allow you to skip the registrar line and renew your registration with a touch of a few buttons. A $4.95 convenience fee will be charged.

“At DVS (Driver and Vehicle

Services), our focus is providing convenient, efficient service,” said DVS Director Pong Xiong​. “We know Minnesotans are busy, so we’re doing everything we can to remove barriers and meet our customers where they are.”

The state is working with Intellectual Technology Inc., a company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company currently has self-service kiosk programs in in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and West Virginia.

According to the company’s website, $3.3 billion has been processed by their self-service kiosks.

Kiosk capabilities include renewing and printing vehicle registrations and decals, collecting agency fees, ordering duplicate vehicle registrations/ driver’s licenses/IDs and permits, registering as an organ donor, registering to vote, registering a new vehicle, renewing a driver’s license or state ID cards, printing official driving records and updating contact information.

After an extensive search, the body of 62-year-old Mark Lowell was found Friday evening in Bald Eagle Lake in White Bear Township.

On Wednesday, Aug. 2, Lowell, of White Bear Lake, jumped off a pontoon boat to retrieve something from the water, went under and didn't resurface.

CONTRIBUTED Emergency crews from Mark Lowell Ramsey County and Washington County were called just before 8 p.m. The search continued Thursday and Friday until Lowell's body was found.

Friends and family describe Lowell as an excellent carpenter, avid motorcyclist and traveler.

His sister, Molly Lowell McLaughlin, gave the following statement to Press Publications.

“Our family is deeply sadden by the sudden lose of Mark. He had the biggest heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. When Mark walked into the room, you felt a bright light. He was forever the storyteller, which always resulted with laughter. He was a Harley guy that loved riding with friends. It’s so heartbreaking to know he’s gone, but we are so grateful to have had him in our lives and I know we will be reunited with him someday. We Love you Mark!”

Long-time friend Kevin Graber has many fond memories of Lowell and a lifetime of stories.

“My memories of Mark and his brothers began in the late 1960s when my grandmother moved from the family farm in Hugo to a little house on 4th Street in White Bear Lake,” Graber said. “His parents' house was across the street and when visiting my grandmother, I would go out and play with Mark and his brother Pete as well as some of the other neighbor kids.”

Graber said he didn't see Lowell again until they both attended White Bear Lake High School where they became good friends.

“I think it will be a benefit for citizens,” said City of Roseville License Center Manager Pam Ryan Senden. “If they are shopping and realize their tabs are expired and it’s a Sunday and no offices are open, they

can just walk right in and get them printed.”

Phil Freeman, License and Service Center division manager for Washington County, says the kiosks will streamline the process.

“This innovative addition is set to have a positive and transformative impact on our community,” Freeman said. “The kiosk will bring about improvements with a more streamlined and efficient renewal process. As for motorists and drivers, the kiosk will bring added convenience and ease. This improvement is expected to contribute to smoother traffic flow and happier drivers throughout the state.”

Other nearby kiosks will include the Maplewood West Cub on Rice Street, managed by the city of Roseville’s deputy registrar and the Cub Foods in Oakdale on10th Street in Washington County.

Both Senden and Lenarz agree wait times at deputy registrar offices will decrease, because staff are free to do other types of transactions.

IF YOU GO:

If you don’t have your renewal notice to scan, you can still get your tabs at the kiosk.

What you need: • Your address.

• License plate number.

• Insurance provider’s name, policy number and expiration date.

• The county name in which the vehicle is kept.

• Either the account ID number from your renewal notice or your house/ building number.

• The last three characters of the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

A potential negative impact are fewer transactions at deputy registrar offices.

However, deputy registrars will keep a percentage of the filing fees collected at kiosks.

The counties will benefit when motorists choose to use the kiosks instead of the online or mail-in option, according to Lenarz.

Senden added, “My hope is there isn’t a negative impact on any offices and it is just a

At first the kiosks will be used for renewing tabs and ordering duplicate license plates for passenger class vehicles.

According to Jon Lenarz, Anoka County License and Passport Services director, the state is considering 10 to 15 locations for kiosks.

Anoka County will install kiosks at Cub Foods locations on Northdale Boulevard in Coon Rapids and Northtown Drive in Blaine, and the store on Silver Lake Road in St. Anthony. The Cub Foods store in Fridley will have a kiosk, managed by Hennepin County due to its proximity to their deputy registrar office.

“It’s an opportunity for people to have further access to services in locations they are more apt to be more often… and at hours outside of our typical deputy registrar offices,” Lenarz said. “This gives the customer the ability to go to one of these kiosks and get it printed out right then.”

Unique project provides Hugo grad learning experience like no other

BY LISA WALKER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

When Hugo resident Olivia Kingston first went to the University of Minnesota-Morris, she didn’t know much about medieval and ancient studies — never mind that she could earn a degree in that field. She’d planned to pursue a degree in French.

But after taking a French introduction to medieval studies class from Associate Professor Lisa Bevevino, she was so fascinated and intrigued by what she learned that she wanted to explore the program more. And with encouragement from Bevevino, she ultimately decided to major in both French and medieval and ancient studies. She found that the two majors complement each other.

Kingston, who graduated this year, welcomed the opportunities she had as a UMN-Morris student to gain handson experience. One opportunity was a unique manuscript project. The university had been collecting historical writing and manuscript materials over the last few years under Bevevino’s direction, and it had been Bevevino’s goal to organize the materials in such a way that others could view them and learn from them. She asked Kingston if she’d be interested in taking on the project as a scholarly and creative project, and Kingston eagerly agreed. Bevevino was able to acquire funding for the project through

the Morris Academic Partnership program with a set number of hours. From there, Kingston set to work.

The result is a detailed, intricate collection of modern paleography materials in organized, easy-to-view display boxes with well-thoughtout captions and simple instructions. Now, anyone who examines the displays can see and learn what went into making an ancient manuscript.

“Olivia took it upon herself to put information within each box that people can read … she really thought about … who is this serving,” said Bevevino.

The finished product gives Kingston a lot of pleasure. “I feel ecstatic and happy, super bubbly just looking at it and seeing it being used; it’s really cool,” she said.

It was by no means a simple task. Kingston admits to feeling somewhat overwhelmed at first by the scope of the project and all of the materials.

“Originally, looking at it, it was a lot to take in, but it definitely was a fun challenge, a great experience,” she said.

With just two reference books and hundreds of items in one container, Kingston was given the creative freedom to organize them in a way that would make sense to someone who was looking to reproduce an ancient manuscript in modern times — an exceptionally complicated task, according to Bevevino.

Olivia Kingston, a Hugo resident, is a University of Minnesota-Morris graduate.

Olivia Kingston helped orgainize a detailed, intricate collection of modern paleography materials in organized, easy-to-view display boxes with well-thought-out captions and simple instructions.

Kingston knew, however, that she could always ask questions and look to Bevevino for guidance, in addition to their regular check-ins.

“I really enjoyed how much (I was) able to explore my creative freedom within, even just

the hands-on experience.

For my career path—I’m going into library sciences—this is a foundation to support that (and be) able to look into texts more deeply,” she said.

She specifically points out the experience

gained from cataloging, touching, moving and being present with the materials, formatting the boxes and figuring out all of the intricate details for the project.

Both Kingston and Bevevino agree that this learning experience results in a skill set that will not only benefit Kingston as a future librarian, but will serve her well in any job, regardless of where her career path takes her.

“There were so many moments that she learned and excelled.

She’s accomplished so much,” says Bevevino.

Kingston adds, “(It’s a) very great feeling.”

Project will benefit future medieval and ancient studies students The completed paleography project allows future medieval and ancient studies students to see—and feel—the craft of making manuscripts. Instead of just reading a modern copy of a manuscript, students can actually make one—a truly hands-on experience that could be important in their future work. And they can take part in similar projects.

Bevevino points out that the displays will have a real impact on how future students learn or do research in the field of medieval and ancient studies. These students, she says, will have proven that they can work with ancient materials responsibly.

“Students gain the experience to work with these modern materials—they’re

not going to damage them. They can move on to work responsibly with cataloged and uncatalogued sources,” Bevevino noted.

The paleography displays are presented in a way that, Bevevino says, humanizes a time period for which a lot of information is missing.

She anticipates that the displays will better enable students to really think about every item that went into making a manuscript in ancient times and what the implications were for the people of that time. “(They allow) your brain to move through the questions.” She hopes the project “invites others to answer questions not yet answered.” Such questions center around the materials and how they were acquired, who touched them, who benefited and who didn’t—ultimately, questions about cost.

“Cost, in my mind, is always there.”

The paleography displays that Kingston worked on are one of three types of collections at UMN- orris for medieval and ancient students to access and learn from. The other two collections are leaves—authentic pages from manuscripts—and facsimiles, colored photos of actual manuscripts, published and bound as books. All are available for students to study and work with.

Inflation is slowing

T

he Feds just raised interest rates a quarter percent, hoping to get inflation under 3%. The side effects are rippling through the economy. There are some signs that food prices are coming down. However, not gasoline, dining out, and perhaps most important of all, not mortgage costs which have doubled. There are no immediate signs of declining.

Financial experts, lenders and real estate people tell us we should not spend more than 30% of our annual income on housing costs. Higher interest rates have a big effect on the cost of your next home if you are planning to buy.

For example, in the metro area if you were going to buy a $400,000 home and the mortgage interest was 3%, that would cost you $1,686 per month and your income would have to be at least $67,440.

Now the interest is at 6%. That would bring the monthly payment to $2,398 and your income would have to be over $95,920.

A big issue before you make a decision.

There is a shortage of homes on the About the market and the prices have gone up rather Town dramatically after the COVID crisis and factors. What are young people who Gene Johnson inflation want to buy a home supposed to do? If you are single, you may continue to live with your parents. If you are married, maybe there is an apartment in your parent’s or a friend’s basement. Some singles are joining together with others, sometimes four or five, to rent a home.

I have also learned of some apartments and condos with as low as 500 square feet that are available to rent or lease.

It has been a dream for many to own a home because they grow in value. With inflation getting under control, I have talked to so-called experts and they tell me prices are not going down. They will still creep up with the short supply. Many home sales find the prices being bid up $10,000 and $20,000 more than the asking price just because of shortage and demand.

As a result, people aren’t willing to sell. They are staying where they are. When interest rates go back down, that may be another story.

Caught in coin counting

The other day I took my piggy bank to US Bank where they have a coin counting machine available. There was a sign indicating it was out of order so I inquired when it might be repaired. They said a part was ordered, but they weren’t sure.

I innocently asked what happened to it and the staff member said you just won’t believe what we find people are trying to run through the machine. They said it’s not only odd coins, but recently they had teeth caught in it. I never thought of a piggy bank as a place to save teeth. I didn’t know what they meant by this, whether it was a gold-filled one or a child’s tooth that they hadn’t put under their pillow for a reward. I had to try another bank.

Showboat Relocated

I’m sure many of you, like Kathy and I, remember the Minnesota Centennial Showboat docked at St. Paul’s Harriet Island where the University of Minnesota theater group put on productions during the summers. It was fun to go there, the plays were good, and it made for a wonderful evening on the Mississippi River.

A couple weeks ago when we were in Winona with our daughter and son-in-law, Stephanie and Chuck, they took us up the Mississippi River to just below lock 5 where the old showboat is moored at a Wisconsin docking facility. It’s just sitting there.

What happened? Well, the U of M theater was able to get a new showboat in December, 2000. The partnership would be with the city of St. Paul Riverfront Development, the Padelford Packet Boat Co. and the University of Minnesota. The construction began the following spring in Greenville, Mississippi. The new showboat arrived at Harriet Island on April 17, 2002. The final curtain call was in the 2016 summer season.

The William A. Thompson Dredge Museum hoped to raise enough money to purchase the old showboat and Dave Belz and Bob Harris set out to raise funds to buy the boat and transport it from St. Paul to Winona.

The plan was to have it moored at the new updated Levee Park in Winona and it would be a venue for area arts, culture and events. The showboat arrived in Winona in 2019 and it looks like not enough money was raised to utilize it for that intent. Therefore, it continues to be idled below lock and dam 5. I cannot confirm, but it’s estimated that it cost them $60,000 to purchase it and have it delivered to Winona. Maybe someone will come along and help bring the old showboat back to life.

Demand going up, donations going down

I

know that your summer months are busy, so I will get right to the point. At our local food shelf — demand is going up and donations are going down. And with more and more families seeking food assistance, your support has never been more crucial.

Rising food costs are impacting so Movers & many of our neighbors, Shakers forcing them to make Chris the difficult decision DuFresne between putting gas in their tanks to get to work, or food on their table. No family should be put in that position, which is why I’m reaching out to ask for your support today.

With the summer months now upon us, we also know that the situation is only going

to get worse.

Nearly 20 percent of students in our community receive free or reduced-price meals through our school lunch and breakfast programs, and a majority of those children lose access to those meals during the summer months – the time when donations to our local food shelf are at their lowest.

We need your support.

Compared to last year: • Financial donations are down 50% • Food donations are down 16% • The number of people seeking food assistance is up 16% • Food costs have more than doubled!

The Hugo Good Neighbor’s Food Shelf is a local, volunteerdriven, nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that the most vulnerable in our community do not go hungry – but we need your help.

So I am asking you to please consider making a donation to the food shelf today, either

securely online at www. hugofoodshelf.org or by mailing a check to Hugo Food Shelf, PO Box 373, Hugo MN 55038.

Your financial support allows us to purchase food through our local food banks, which means your donation can go further — 10 times further! In fact, for every $1 donated, we can purchase enough food for three meals.

Each year, the food shelf spends about $15,000 through Second Harvest Heartland Food Bank to supplement our food donations. That means that for only $30 you can help feed a child for almost the entire summer and for $150 you can help feed a family of four.

Your support today is essential to helping us serve our community — at a time when it is needed the most!

Chris DuFresne is the president of the Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf.

Keys and forgiveness

THE CITIZEN

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF

Keys are something we use every day, whether it is house keys, car keys, or various other keys.

They are a part of our lives and are very useful.

We especially appreciate their usefulness when we lock ourselves out of something! Everyone has experienced the moment of dread associated with realizing your keys are locked behind a door. We have also experienced a sigh of relief when the door is unlocked and we are able to retrieve the we need. Jesus also talks Pastor’s keys about keys when He says, “I will Ponderings give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven…” (Matthew 16:19) He Tim goes on to talk about the power of forgiveness. When God forgives us, Heinecke it “unlocks” heaven and restores our relationship with Him. This same power is also present when we forgive others.

When we forgive others, it “unlocks” God’s healing grace and restores our relationships. No matter our disagreements, we want to use these “keys” and forgive each other. This is the “key” to restoring our relationships!

Dennis,16, is a polite and soft-spoken young man. Many people describe him as cooperative, helpful, and kind.

Dennis excels in school and would like to be a meteorologist and storm chaser in the future. In his free time, he likes to play Magic: The Gathering and basketball with his peers. Dennis loves food and is always down for a trip to a buffet (Pizza Ranch is his favorite!).

Makaila,12, is outgoing with a big personality! Makaila enjoys making friends and having conversations with peers and adults. She has a huge heart and is very artistic and creative. Makaila enjoys being helpful around the home, especially when it comes to caring for animals, as she dreams of becoming a vet someday. She likes to stay active and loves to spend hours at the local park. In her free time, you will find Makaila working on arts and craft projects, playing with her Pop-Its collection, completing word search puzzles, or learning a new board game. She also enjoys reading, and proudly reports that she was able to read 50 books over summer break last year.

Dennis and Makaila prefer a home with pets. They will do best with caregivers who can provide structure and routine. Following adoption, Dennis and Makaila need to maintain contact with their older sibling.

Longtime community builder selected as Grand Marshal

BY MERRINA O’MALLEY PRESS INTERN

Dorothy Radermacher, 72, has been selected to be the Blue Heron Days Grand Marshal. She has been an important member of the Lino Lakes community for many years, and is a former executive director of the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce.

Since working in the service industry for several years and caring for her family tirelessly, she has learned to value community and connection with others.

“I grew up in a family that’s very much into community,” Radermacher said. “And what that means to me is volunteering and working together for the greater good.”

Although Radermacher is retired, she still works to contribute positively to the Lino Lakes community and help the state’s veterans. She participates in the chamber and spends much of her time working for nonprofits like the Centerville Lions and the Freedom Fishing Foundation amongst others.

Radermacher has helped out with Blue Heron Days for many years, coordinating the car show, vendor fair and many other festivities.

She is excited to participate as the Grand Marshal this year, and is honored to be selected for the PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED position.

Dorothy Radermacher is this year’s Blue Heron 780996

Days Grand Marshal.

Everything you need to know about 988

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

It has been a year since Minnesota began to use the number 988 as the new mental health crisis hotline.

It was introduced to the state last July in hopes to help localize the new number that was formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which was 1-800-273-TALK (8255). The Lifeline was created in 2022 by the United States in hopes to improve access to crisis services that can meet the country’s growing needs related to mental health.

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides emotional support for people in distress or experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. The Lifeline is able to connect callers to additional local resources and community support services as needed.

According to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) during 2022, Minnesota’s 988 Lifeline centers answered over 30,000 calls, which is a 154 percent increase from 2021. Minnesota has since then expanded its capacity to respond to texts and chats 24/7 in April 2023 and has engaged with over 600 people through those functions.

In Minnesota, 988 calls, chats and texts are answered by five organizations: Carver County Health and Human Services, First Call for Help, Greater Twin Cities United Way, FirstLink and Mental Health Minnesota (text and chat only).

During the month of May, the MDH reported that there were 4,353 calls, 978 chat messages and 1,345 texts sent to the Lifeline.

Each 988 Lifeline Center is staffed with trained crisis specialists that are focused on promoting safety, offering emotional support, providing crisis intervention and connecting people to appropriate local resources.

In Minnesota, operators respond to around 3,600 calls and 960 texts a month.

Even though the line has increased engagement, the suicide rates in Minnesota are slowly rising each year. The most recent data from the MDH is from 2020, which shows that from 2016-2020 there were more than 10,000 hospital visits related to self-harm injuries (suicide attempts).

The state’s main goal for 988 is to expand access to established crisis care services, offering those

in need someone to speak with, someone to come to their aid or somewhere to go if needed. Additionally, the MDH hopes to continue to build the infrastructure of the Lifeline Centers to answer the demand for calls being received.

For the future, the MDH stated that they would like to facilitate collaboration between partners across the state to improve connection to crisis services and inform partners, organizations, and the public about the 988 Lifeline. The state would like to ensure policies and practices continue to align with national standards and requirements, ensuring healthy equity, effective messaging and communication about the service, follow-up services, updating information and referral sources, as well as data collection and evaluation.

Minnesota is only one of six states that have been able to secure funding for 988 through a telecom fee.

There are a few major factors that differentiate 988 from other crisis call lines, 911 specifically.

First, 988 provides easier access to the Lifeline network and related crisis responses while 911 is strictly for public safety purposes, such as dispatching emergency medical services (the police or fire department if needed). The 988 Lifeline has a nationwide network that helps route calls to national crisis centers if regional centers are busy. Another factor that makes 988 different then the 911 line is the capacity to connect to ongoing treatment.

The 988 line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round to anyone in need or to anyone who knows someone in crisis. If someone or yourself

is in immediate danger, call 911.

For more information, visit www.health.state. mn.us/communities/suicide/mnresponse/988.html.

Bald Eagle Island property still on market WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — While the firm marketing 1 Bald Eagle Island would not reveal the highest bid price or any information about the auction process, a representative did say the

property remains on the market and is available.

Premiere Estates International, a luxury real estate auction house, put the island up for bids last month with

a closing date of July 12 (see “Private island home up for auction,” June 28, 2023). The starting bid was $3.5 million for the five-bedroom home, renovated in 2020 by owner Nathan Landucci. He

listed the property two years before hiring Premiere to put it on the auction block. The original asking price was $6 million.

Rehbein-Manthey ends prolific career as Cougar coach added that it was always stimulating to compete in “one of the toughest conferences in the state (Northwest Suburban)”, which helped them finish the season so strongly last year.

Asked if there’s anything she won’t miss, she said, “The part I won’t miss is going through tryouts and possibly having to cut players from the team. That was always the hardest thing to do every year. I think any coach will tell you the same thing.”

Rehbein-Manthey, who played volleyball and basketball two years each at Mankato State, was 28, newly married, and eager to lead a program when then-activities director Bruce Hegseth gave her a shot. “I am so thankful that he gave me the opportunity,” she said.

Her daughters Chase and McKenna are going into ninth and tenth grade, respectively. “They were raised in the gym,” she mused. “It has been an adjustment for me to drop them off at practice, and not walk in to join them.”

It was late in the school year that she informed Matt St. Martin, activities director, about her decision. “Not ideal,” she said, “but I’m so excited they were able to find a strong coach in Nicole. She will be able to bring in new ideas and energy to the program.”

Jackie Rehbein-Manthey was nearing 400 wins as Centennial volleyball coach and coming off a state tournament season, but decided in late spring that it was time to step down.

“I’ll miss the camaraderie with the other fall sports coaches, and their support and advice throughout the years,” said Rehbein-Manthey.

Her resignation means someone else will coach two daughters who will soon be on varsity. “I won’t be far from the gym,” she said, “and look forward to supporting the program as a parent.”

With her full-time job at 3M, things were getting a bit hectic during volleyball seasons.

“Lots going on with work, and my focus needs to be there,” she explained. “It wouldn’t be fair to the volleyball program for me not to be able to dedicate the team and energy it deserves. There are lots of hours put into coaching that go beyond the hours spent in the gym.”

The new coach is Nicole Christensen. (See separate article).

Rehbein-Manthey coached the Cougars for 20 seasons. She posted a 380-185-1 record and took

three teams to state, in 2009, 2010 and 2022. Last fall, her Cougars won Section 7AAA, lost in the first round at state, then won twice to take home the fifth-place trophy, giving the coach what turned out to be a great season to quit on.

Asked about highlights, Rehbein-Manthey cited the outstanding support from the district, community and families through the years. She

Former college volleyball star is new Zephyr coach

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Tia Schlundt, a former Division II All-America player with powerhouse Concordia-St. Paul, is the new volleyball coach for the Mahtomedi Zephyrs.

“Having

CONTRIBUTED played volleyTia Schlundt ball through the collegiate level, I understand the importance of hard work, accountability, and leadership, both on and off the court,” Schlundt stated on the Zephyrs’ website.

Schlundt takes over a Zephyr program that notched its first conference title and first state tournament trip in

2022. She has coached in the Mahtomedi Area Volleyball Association for several years and headed the freshman team in 2022. She succeeds Jaden Burns, who was head coach for just that one season.

“We're excited to have Tia Schlundt lead the next chapter of Zephyr volleyball, and develop young women of character on and off the court,” said Aaron Forsythe, activities director.

She was Tia Lindberg, from Forest Lake, when she helped get Concordia-St. Paul started on its rise to national prominence. Lindberg delivered 1,456 kills and was the Golden Bears’ first All-America player, earning that honor twice. She helped them qualify for their first two national tournaments and a runner-up finish in 2003. CSP has since won nine national championships.

The CSP Hall of Fame inducted Schlundt in 2022. She is married to former CSP baseball player David Schlundt, and they have two children.

She has an MBA from Concordia and is

a Senior Global Marketing Manager for Medtronic.

“My goal is to create an environment where young athletes can realize their full potential, giving them the confidence to excel in all areas of their life,” Schlundt said.

Burns commented that she had “an

awesome first year as head coach, with a great group of players and staff.” She made the “painful decision” to step away for the time being, adding that she’s confident she will eventually coach again.

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS • It has taken a while but the City Hall parking lot will finally be lighted, after council authorized city staff to execute a contract with Vetter’s Electric, Inc. in the amount of $38,200 to light the area. The lights are expected to increase safety and security around City Hall and be “downcast” to avoid unnecessary light pollution. Additional shielding is available as an inexpensive add-on once the lights are in place, in the event they still create a nuisance for neighbors. The delay in installing the lights is due to the city’s two unsuccessful applications for Occupational Safe and Health Administration grants of $10,000 to offset the cost of the lights. Instead, the project will use money from the Street Fund and Street Capital Improvement Project that includes municipal parking lots.

• The city has a new massage/sauna business in town, after Council approved a Massage Establishment License request from owner, Christina Juger, at 7087 Centerville Road, subject to her submitting appropriate insurance documentation.The Centennial Lakes Police Department has approved her background check, and she has submitted all other paperwork.

Council also approved a Massage Therapy License for Jodi Cruz/Day to perform those services at 7087 Centerville Road.

• Council approved the 2024 budget for its telecommunications provider, North Metro Telecommunications Commission. The operating budget for 2024 is $1.4 million, a $27,692 increase over expected expenditures from 2023 that includes a 3% COLA increase for staff. Other expenditure increases include building maintenance costs and insurance

costs. Budgeted capital costs from the current year amount to $570,884, a $57,451 decrease from the 2023 budget. Each city is asked to approve the budget each year, prior to Oct. 15.

• The city is remaining diligent in fulfilling its longterm contract with the Anoka County Historical Society (ACHS) to reimburse the organization every four to six months for display hardware at a cost of $250. Council authorized a donation of $500 from the General Fund to the ACHS. As part of City Hall renovations and redesign in 2021, a “history niche” was added to council chambers. The city and the ACHS signed a memorandum of understanding assigning the ACHS the responsibility of maintaining and curating the display case on an ongoing basis.

• Centerville recently bought a UW56 Bobcat from Tri-State Bobcat and will also purchase an extended warranty. The standard warranty will expire on Oct. 25, and staff recommended purchasing an extended warranty on the Bobcat using money from the General Fund at a cost to be determined.

• The property owners at 1846-73rd Street have been given the green light to build a four-foot chain link fence within the side yard setback within the city’s right-of-way/drainage and utility easements on the east side of their property.

• The property owners at 7320 Deer Pass Drive have also been given the go-ahead to build a five-foot chain link fence in the sides and rear yard setbacks within the city’s right-of way/drainage and utility easements on the north, south and east sides of their property.

• Although National Night to Unite has come and gone, council approved a Special Event permit for the Meadow Court neighborhood on Aug. 1, from 5 to 8:30 p.m., provided the event didn’t result in the blocking of driveways, fire hydrants and access to emergency vehicles.

• Council needs a block of time to discuss the implementation of the current strategic plan, downtown redevelopment, Population 5000 and other topics, so Assistant City Administrator Athanasia Lewis was directed to set up the retreat date. Her scheduling criteria include any Saturday in October or November, a single four-hour time block, a time not attached to another business meeting, and a date when Junior Council Rowan Shaw is still a member of council.

• Open seats on two of the city’s most important advisory committees are still available. The Parks & Recreation Committee, which meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at City Hall, has one open seat. The Planning and Zoning Commission, which meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at City Hall, has two open seats. There will also be a work session immediately beforehand at 5 p.m.

The next city council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 23 at City Hall.

BODY FOUND: White Bear Lake man remembered as ‘good friend’ FROM PAGE 1

“A few years later Mark asked me if I would rent a room in a house his parents bought near Bald Eagle Lake that they were remodeling,” Graber said. “His dad Earl liked having me around because I provided plenty of fresh fish filets for the Lowell’s during the lent season. They were a good Catholic family.”

Graber said as time passed they moved on with their lives and started families. He noted that Lowell had a business with his brothers and they built many homes in the White Bear Lake area.

“When Mark walked into the room, you felt a bright light. He was forever the storyteller, which always resulted with laughter. He was a Harley guy that loved riding with friends.”

Molly Lowell McLaughlin

“My wife Lisa and I hired Mark and his brothers, along with other friends, to build our house near Scandia,” Graber said. “It was amazing to witness the Lowell brothers put together a house. They are truly master craftsmen of the carpenter trade.”

He continued, “They have such a gift plus just a love of what they do. I gotta wonder how many nails Mark has driven in his life. It has to be millions.”

A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19 at Mueller Memorial, 4738 Bald Eagle Ave. in White Bear Lake. Visitation will follow

the service until 7 p.m.

“Whenever I would see Mark it was a friendly handshake, a smile and ‘How about a beer?’” Graber said. “God speed Mark. I will remember you as a good friend.”

The family of Mark Lowell has a GoFundMe page at https://www. gofundme.com/f/the-family-of-marklowell.
