District asks community to invest in facilities

Introduction to farm life Veda Granger, of Hugo, gets up close and personal with one of the dairy cows on the Miron family farm during the Breakfast on the Farm event Saturday, Sept. 7. The event included farm tours, milking demonstrations, face painting, food and more. See more photos on page 12.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The average age of school buildings in the district is 50 years.

The district’s proposed $326 million bond referendum, which will be on the ballot this fall, will provide updates at all district schools, a new elementary school in Hugo and a renovated, one-campus high school.

Taking care of district building upgrades is the responsibility of the community, according to Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations Tim Wald. The state provides funding for teaching and learning, but building quality is the decision of the community.

“All school facilities are entirely the responsibility of the community, so if we are going to build a new school, that becomes our community’s responsibility,” Wald told a group gathered at last week’s White Bear Rotary Club meeting. The district has systems in some schools that are 50 to 70 years old. It hasn’t built a new or renovated secondary school since 1974.

“At some point you have to ask the taxpayers, are we ready to invest in our facilities?” he noted.

Learning and imagination take root in ‘reading tree’

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

HUGO — “This is my tree, my place to be alone in, my branches for climbing, my leaves for hiding in, my sunshine for reading, my clouds for dreaming, my sky for singing, my tree, my beautiful tree.”

This poem, written

by Kathleen Fraser, is what sparked then-Media Specialist (now Instructional Coach) Julie Stonehouse’s

OOF NEW R S! NT DISCOU

idea for a reading tree in the media center at Oneka Elementary School.

Last year when Stonehouse was hired by the White Bear Lake School District, she was charged with changing the way the school utilizes the media center, and asked to come up with a redesign.

When she asked the students what they would like to see in the space, they answered, “comfortable seating” and “fun places to read.”

The space was revamped

over spring break with the exception of one piece, the treehouse.

“Our budget was for furniture and technology updates,” Stonehouse explained. “I needed to fi nd somebody who could create this (reading tree) and also figure out a way to pay for it, so I went out to the community and started asking for donations.”

Discussion on land transfer turns existential

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CENTERVILLE — A discussion Aug. 28 on whether to transfer two pieces of property from the city to its own Economic Development Authority (EDA) had a curious result: some Centerville City Council members, past and present, wondered aloud why the city had an EDA in the fi rst place.

Former Mayor Tom Wilharber and former Councilman Steve King attended the meeting to express their concerns at the council's loss of control over two pieces of city property.

The discussion started when the council reviewed an action item before it, which was to decide whether to transfer two pieces of cityowned property to the EDA. The EDA would then take over marketing the properties, which have proven difficult to sell. In return, the proceeds of the property sales would go to the EDA to further its mission of marketing to promote development within the city.

Both properties are located in the downtown area and contain several remnant parcels at the northwest corner of Main Street and Centerville Road (including 1691 and 1695 Main St.) that the city bought from Anoka County after the Main Street (CSAH 14) improvements and two parcels at the northeast corner of Main Street and Progress Road that used to be the Steffel Insurance property.

King said he was concerned that the EDA, a separate, unelected entity that is not answerable to council, can buy and sell city property. “I'm just worried that somewhere down the line that more powers will be given to the EDA,” he said.

City Administrator/Engineer Mark Statz pointed out that council didn't give its EDA any taxing authority, as some cities have done. “The EDA is getting funds that aren't coming out of the city's budget, and the transfer is a nice way to give the EDA something to work with,” he said.

Councilman D. Love, who serves as the council’s liaison member on the EDA along with Councilwoman Michelle Lakso, noted that the city was not giving the EDA more power by transferring the two parcels of land.

“I was in the council that voted for the EDA and I struggled with handing over power. But I gave it a 'yes' vote,” Love said. “I sat on the EDA and found it to be conservative, scared to make a mistake and wanting to help Centerville.” Love said he wanted the EDA to do things for the city, but in his conservative mindset suggested the city push over half the properties to see what happens.

The city originally established the EDA in July 2017 to actively market business development opportunities throughout the community by encouraging new businesses, relocating existing businesses to Centerville and investing in improving businesses that currently exist.

“When I came in as mayor the second time, the city had nine pieces of property for sale,” Wilharber said. “Now we have two. I got council together and gave them a directive to clean up and sell the properties. We got a Realtor, advertised and sold some of them. Now they are not advertised. I agree (with King) that you don't give it away to the EDA who might have weird ideas about the property — like building a swimming pool in town or something.”

The city is collecting zero taxes on the properties as they sit there, Mayor Jeff Paar said. By transferring property to the EDA, the city is trying to increase the tax base and get more property owners coming to Centerville.

The EDA’s current annual budget is $20,000.

Councilman Russ Koski wondered aloud what the EDA had done with the money. “It they want more, they'll have to show me that they deserve that budget,” he said.

“In my opinion, a $20,000 budget is not effective,” Paar said, “that's why we're giving them the proceeds from the two properties.”

Koski reiterated his question about whether the EDA had hired Realtors or had even tried to sell the properties. Furthermore, Koski asked, why did the city even form the EDA? “The money (the city) gets from selling the properties can be put back into the city. For example, there's no air conditioning at City Hall,” Koski said.

Statz replied that the EDA hired a tax increment financing consultant for downtown’s Block 7 and recommended Northland Securities serve as financial guide throughout the process, a total cost of $11,000.

“In doing nothing from nothing, you get nothing,” Paar reminded council. “That's why I wanted to form the EDA. We can keep living in the past, I guess. We can hold open houses and hope something happens too.”

In the end, council tabled action, agreeing that it was essential for all council members be present to vote on such an important issue. Councilman Matt Montain was absent.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS The Yellow Ribbon Alliance of Lower St. Croix Valley is holding a fundraiser to support servicemen and servicewomen, veterans and their families by holding a Field of Bands event Sept. 14.

Making Local History Relevant Today The Washington County Historical Society (WCHS) announced that its featured speaker for the Historical Society’s fall dinner meeting will be Minnesota Historical Society Director and CEO Kent Whitworth.

The meeting will be held Thursday, Sept.

19, at the Washington County Heritage Center, 1862 S. Greeley Street (just north of Highway 36) in Stillwater.

For several years, the History Relevance Campaign has encouraged people to look at history as “not just nice, but

necessary.” Now it seems that everyone has strong opinions about the past, but not necessarily a clear understanding of how history works. This presentation suggests that pulling back the curtain on the historical process will help more of us to see the value of history and its relevance to ourselves, our communities and to our future.

The event is open to the public and the cost is $25 for WCHS members and $30 for nonmembers. The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour, sit-down dinner catered by Scheel’s Catering at 6:30 p.m. and a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Whitworth’s presentation will start shortly after 7:30 p.m. Reservations are required.

Plan to endorse a candidate?

O

ver the years, opinion pages in our newspapers have been abused and quite frankly it’s our fault. We have allowed what are really advertisements in our opinion pages. Last year, our page count went up between four and eight pages each week during the political campaign. The newspaper received zero revenue from this and took on the printing and delivery expense. When political candidates hire people and coordinate groups of people to submit letters that they prepared, have their campaign committees submit letters, or get friends and family to submit letters, these letters should fall under advertising.

It’s been a real problem the last few years. I’ve learned many newspaper colleagues feel the same way. As your local news Publisher’s source, we found a way to keep these political endorsement View letters in the papers and help it transparent to the readers Carter Johnson be by labeling them as paid endorsements and charging a nominal fee.

As your local newspaper, we struggled with a decision. We struggled with the expense of publishing up to four to eight extra pages during the political campaign season.

This week Press Publications and our sister newspapers will roll out a new guideline regarding endorsement letters. So what does this mean? It means we will continue to publish 99% of all letters to the editor that meet our guidelines of 350 words or less containing no libelous or derogatory statements and will charge a $25 fee for endorsement letters. What is an endorsement letter? It’s a letter that endorses or opposes a candidate or item on the ballot such as a levy, bonding referendum, or items that require a vote. Our residents count on us to be transparent and we believe this is another way to continue to do that and prevent deep use and misuse of opinion pages in our local community papers.

A colleague and friend who publishes the Proctor Journal near Duluth has been charging endorsement letter fees for years.

I believe many of the newspapers in North Dakota are charging fees, as well as our friends at the Echo Press in Alexandria, to name a few.

The local community counts on the opinion pages to discuss local topics of concern, but when we get into the political season we get swamped with chain mail. This new guideline should help our staff of journalists focus on their job by covering countless meetings you don’t have time to attend and stories of interest to our readers.

Paid endorsement letter policy The Citizen accepts election letters endorsing or advocating for or against a ballot measure, party or candidate as paid advertising announcements. The fee is $25 for 7 inches and $5 for each additional inch. Like other letters to the editor, the writer’s name, address and phone number are required. Phone numbers are not published. The Citizen has the right to reject letters that don’t meet publishing standards and will determine if the letter qualifies as a paid endorsement. Paid letters will be identified with a label and may or may not appear on the opinion/letters page.

As always, we welcome your opinions.

Students digging in this year

A

s we send our kids back to school, many of them will be harvesting fall crops from gardens they planted the previous spring.

Schoolyard gardens aren’t a new idea, but they have been regaining ground as we realize the distance between kids and healthy habits.

This often parallels the distance between kids and where their food comes from. To this end countless teachers, the Minnesota Schoolyard Garden Coalition and the Minnesota Farm to School legislation are working together Movers & to get our kids growing more Shakers food.

The USDA Michelle Bruhn reported just over 5,000 registered school gardens in the United Sates last year. Currently, our district has seven elementary school gardens, a straw bale garden at Central, plus the gardens at Tamarack Nature Center that are used in curriculum.

The kids are all in, and it’s easy to see why…There is something magical about nurturing seeds to grow into plants. Getting to work with nature and see real world results empowers children in

critical thinking skills- plus many other scientific concepts.

Then there are the proven benefits with being outside; antidepressant soil microbes that reduce stress levels, increased vitamin D intake and making healthier eating choices because of time spent working in a garden.

Having this connection to nature, while being in community with their peers in a classroom setting gives kids the foundation to respect our earth in a way that can lead to big picture changes.

They start asking about pesticide use, safe water, composting and of course they perpetually ask the same question all gardeners ask, “is that tomato ripe yet?”

In celebration of our local community and school gardens BearPower and its partners are hosting a Harvest Party on Sunday, Sept. 22 from 12-3 p.m. at the YMCA Community gardens.

Search Bear Power or Forks in the Dirt on Facebook for event details.

I can’t wait to see what our community kids grow this schoolyear, knowing each garden planted creates a space for kids’ learning to take off like that fabled beanstalk.

Michelle Bruhn is the founder of Forks in the Dirt, a local food and garden information clearinghouse designed to help you dig your food.

lasting ways. Eating from those plants is the cherry on top of the gardening experience.

Dawn Maple, kindergarten teacher and one of the original garden planters at Matoska IB World School says, “Gardening with children helps them not only learn about where their food comes from, but it also allows them to see themselves as scientists. They show compassion as they carefully plant a tiny seed and nurture it as it grows.

They develop an appreciation for the insects that are part of the garden we all share. They are risk takers as they try a basil leaf or nasturtium flower that has grown in our garden. But most of all, they share the joy of caring for other living things.”

Maple hits on a deep truth; how the chance to share the joys and struggles of the garden is inseparable from the gardening experience in a school garden.

Finding worms, seeing a plant’s roots, or tasting what you grew are all better when shared. I’ve seen fi rst-hand how this sharing energizes kids in the garden.

Beyond the positive energy manifested in the gardens- which is a real and valuable aspect, there are also a myriad of STEM concepts brought to life. Starting with planning the garden space right through to harvesting kids are working with math and

HUGO POLICE REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: • A suspicious vehicle and suspicious persons reported at 12:03 a.m.

Aug. 11 in the 13000 block of Fiona Avenue N. turned out to be a driver who was helping a friend leave a residence in the area.

• Fireworks were reported at 1:17 a.m.

Aug. 11 in the 4000 block of 132nd Way N. • A suspicious noise that sounded like a paint ball gun reported at 2:15 a.m.

Aug. 11 in the 15000 block of Forest Blvd. N. turned out to be fi reworks to the northeast of the area. When Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived on the scene, they found a male outside his residence who pointed out the fi reworks, which he said were just visible above the tree line.

• A North Oaks man, 52, was cited at 9:28 a.m. Aug. 11 on eastbound 170th Street and Keystone Avenue N. for speeding 70 mph in a 55 mph zone by westbound deputes who clocked him on radar.

• A pile of trash was reported left dumped in the middle of the road in the 8000 block of 147th Street N. at 11:24 a.m. Aug. 11. Deputies moved the trash from the middle of the road and conducted a bit of dumpster diving through it to determine who was responsible but were unsuccessful. As deputies had a call to answer, they left the trash for Hugo Public Works to deal with.

• An East Bethel man, 51, was cited by southbound deputies on routine patrol at 8:23 p.m. Aug. 11 on

northbound Forest Blvd. N. and 159th Street N. for speeding 51 mph in a 35 mph zone and for semaphore violation. While deputies had the radar gun trained on the motorist, they simultaneously were able to observe the speed at which he ran through the red light. Deputies had to conduct a traffic stop to retrieve the license plate number, as it was hidden behind the boat towed behind the vehicle.

The driver’s excuses for speeding and running the red light were as follows: “I thought the speed limit was 45 and at the light I had a choice to make and I made it.”

Deputies quickly advised the motorist that he was spared being in even bigger trouble because when deputies first spotted him speeding, he had just passed the construction cones so he wasn’t cited for speeding within the construction zone.

• A suspicious vehicle parked and running at the Holiday gas station on Forest Blvd. and 120th Street at 11:47 p.m. Aug. 11 turned out to be a driver texting a friend to see if she was home yet. The driver then moved the vehicle and went to her friend’s house to wait for her.

• A suspicious male reported for peering into a vehicle outside a

• A New Prague man, 35, was cited at 1:42 p.m. Aug. 14 on westbound 170th Street and Ingersoll Avenue N. for speeding 64 mph in a 55 mph zone after eastbound deputies on

• An abandoned Nice Ride rental bicycle was reported found at 7:22 p.m. Aug. 14 against a fi re hydrant in the 4000 block of 132nd Way N. Deputies determined the bike to be undamaged and functional, so they contacted the rental company for pickup.

• A Hugo man, 18, was cited at 4:12 p.m. Aug. 15 on 122nd Street N. and Jody Avenue N. for failure to provide proof of insurance after being pulled over for expired tabs and an object suspended from the rearview mirror. The motorist was issued a verbal warning for the tabs and object.

• A Hugo man, 20, was issued a verbal warning at 12:01 a.m. Aug. 17 on Forest Blvd. N. and 177th Street N. for possessing marijuana in a motor vehicle after deputies pulled him over for speeding and detected a faint odor of pot in the vehicle.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS K-9 Xander passes away

100 deadliest days

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) announced that K-9 Xander passed away Sept.

4. Xander joined the WCSO in 2012, teaming up with his handler and best friend Deputy Brad Volk. Together, they fought crime throughout Washington County, finding drugs, tracking suspects and greeting the public until his retirement this past May. More than just a member of his crime fighting team, Xander was a treasured and loving member of the Volk family. He was a little gentleman, an office favorite and a great partner.

Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, known as the 100 deadliest days on Minnesota roads, again proved to be a tragic time in 2019, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. More than half of the traffic fatalities so far this year occurred during this period. There were 132 deaths this summer, including a two-car crash that took six lives. The 132 lives lost represent 57 percent of all traffic fatalities so far in 2019. The 123 fatalities during the 100 deadliest days in 2018 represented 53 percent of traffic fatalities during the same time period last year. Preliminary numbers show that of the 132 deaths, at least 10 are known to be distraction-related, compared with nine in 2018.

County approves agreement between Sheriff ’s Office, DEA

Deputy Brad Volk pictured with K-9 Xander. Xander retired from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in May.

The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement between the county’s Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Sept. 3 to help staff a task force that focuses on large-scale illegal drug operations. The Sheriff’s Office agreed to provide one experienced deputy to the task force from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2020. The DEA will reimburse the Sheriff’s Office for overtime, up to a sum equivalent to 25% of the salary of a federal employee at the same rank, which amounts to $18,649 per deputy.

7,773 DWIs this summer To educate drivers on the dangers of drunk driving and the necessity of planning a safe ride home, a statewide extra enforcement and awareness campaign took place Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. DWIs by month: June – 2,571; July – 2,543; and August – 2,659. The 7,773 DWIs during the summer compares with 7,050 during the summer of 2018.

HUGO BITS & PIECES The Hugo City Council took the following action at its Sept. 3 meeting: • Heard from White Bear Lake Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak and Assistant Superintendent for Finance Operations Tim Wald, who gave a presentation on the upcoming bond referendum.

Councilman Phil Klein praised the district for putting the bond campaign together. “It is extremely helpful that the community understands with this $23 per month increase, it is going to help support not only our students but the welfare and well-being of our communities.”

Mayor Tom Weidt said, “Our community in the White Bear Lake district is only as good as the students that we produce and the opportunities that we give them. Upgrading the buildings is something that has been delayed longer than anyone wishes it had been. Unfortunately, when that happens it results in the shocking number, this is a number that might set some people back.” He added,

“If you look at the fact that we need to do this for the next generation and generations to follow and pay it forward, this is something that needs to be done.”

• Approved a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the city of Lino Lakes for the Elmcrest Avenue/ Cedar Street improvement project.

Both cities rejected bids after they came in too high. Another JPA was drafted so the project can be rebid this fall for construction in spring 2020.

• Approved a special event permit for Octoberfest Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Hugo Legion. A special event permit is necessary because alcohol will be sold outdoors, there may be more than 200 people in attendance, the event will extend after dark and there will be amplified music.

Vendors will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a music and a bean bag tournament will take place until 7 p.m. Alcohol will be served outside in a confi ned area.

• Approved a variance for

Rosemary Way Apartments. MWF Properties is requesting approval of a variance to allow an apartment building to be 45 feet and 7 inches tall at the highest point of the building (roof ridge), where 35 feet is required by ordinance. On April 15, the City Council approved a site plan and conditional use permit for Rosemary Apartments, a three-story building with 45 units. The property is located on Rosemary Way and west of Everton Avenue in the Frenchman Place development.

The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing and considered the request Aug. 22. The board agreed that the request met the criteria necessary to approve the request and unanimously recommended the City Council approve the variance.

• Approved a reduction in letter of credit for Adelaide Landing 3rd and 4th Additions. Adelaide Landing 3rd and 4th Additions have had significant work completed to date and the developer is requesting a

reduction in the letter of credit for both additions. The current letter of credit for the 3rd Addition is in the amount of $842,744. Staff has inspected the work completed and recommended the council approve a reduction in the letter of credit to $225,150.

The current letter of credit for the 4th Addition is in the amount of $463,267. Staff has inspected the work completed and recommended the council approve a reduced letter of credit in the amount of $334,767.

• Heard from Councilman Chuck Haas, who announced The Fry Group Ribfest will be from noon to 2 p.m.

Sept. 28 at Hanifl Fields Athletic Park. He added that the next Hugo Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network Hamburger Night will be Tuesday, Sept. 24.

The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23, at City Hall.

Shannon Granholm

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its Aug. 28 meeting: • Approved a resolution authorizing the use of Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Funds for the Economic Development Authority (EDA) revolving loan/grant program, not to exceed $20,000 per project and $50,000 in total funding. The EDA will use these funds to market business development opportunities throughout the community by improving the exterior of currently existing businesses. At the same time, the county HRA has funds not currently needed for future improvements to Chauncey Barret Gardens units that the city has an opportunity to use.

• Authorized city staff to accept a title insurance policy over the public and common elements of Bayview Villas to fulfi ll the request from the developer, Richard DeFoe, to clear a lien on the property so that construction workers can install roadwork before the onset of winter. The lien has been paid off, but the process of clearing the lien will take several months, City Attorney Kurt Glaser said. If developers wait for the required lien to clear, asphalt plants will be closed and roads can’t be installed this year, he said. The risk of problems is relatively low, and an insurance policy in the amount of the lien is in place should any trouble occur, Glaser said.

• Approved the Centennial Fire District (CFD) 2020 budget. The Fire Steering Committee voted to approve the budget at its Aug. 13 meeting. The department’s overall budget is projected to increase by 5.25%. Centerville’s portion is higher than Circle Pines’, at an aggregate 7.61% increase that

includes a 6.64% budget increase and 14.29% capital fund increase. The budget increase is largely due to the addition of two part-time duty crew fi refighters during the daytime hours on weekdays. The addition also adds to the level of service the city receives, City Administrator/Engineer Mark Statz said. The source of the $297,824 in costs will be the city’s general fund.

• Tabled action on a loan between funds — from the sewer fund to the park dedication fund. In 2010, the city borrowed from the sewer fund to pay for the $1.6 million Trail Link Project throughout the city. The project was partially funded through the Federal Transportation Enhancement Grant; remaining costs totaled $825,000. The Trail Link Project received a loan of approximately $825,000 from the sanitary sewer fund.

To date, the parks dedication fund has not received enough fees from new residential plats to replenish that fund so the loan can be repaid. Council has yet to address questions of whether the interest should be forgiven or whether the loan should be forgiven altogether. Look for council to bring back a formal resolution at an upcoming meeting to undo the fi rst loan resolution and create an updated loan resolution.

• Approved a special event permit, a temporary liquor license and a gambling license for a benefit to be sponsored by the Centerville Lions.

• Approved the successful performance review for Building Inspector and Public Works Director Paul Palzer at the completion of his 25 years with the city. The council also approved the successful

performance review for Senior Account Clerk Kris Sweeney, who has completed 19 years of employment with the city. Councilman D. Love expressed his appreciation to both individuals for their dedicated service to the city.

• Approved two separate encroachment agreements for sheds at 1694 Lakeland Circle and 1650 Lakeland Circle. Both sheds encroach entirely into the city’s right-of-way/drainage and utility easements in their rear yard easements.

• Approved a special event permit for a block party in the Hunters Ridge Lane cul-de-sac to Beaver Pond Way. There will be two food vendors and two portable restrooms. No alcohol will be sold, and a band will play from 7 to 10 p.m.

• Heard a brief introduction from former Spring Lake Park mayor and current Lino Lakes resident Cindy Hansen, a candidate for the newly vacant position on the Anoka County Board in District 6.

• Adjourned to closed session as allowed by Minnesota Statute Section 13D.05, subdivision 3 (b), to discuss matters protected by the attorney-client privilege related to conditions surrounding the property at 7087 20th Ave. S. The council next meets at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, at City Hall, 1880 Main St. The meeting will include the Downtown Street Improvement Project public hearing.

Pick six launches Cougars’ 42-15 win over Anoka

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

An early “pick six” got a rout by Centennial started, and a relentless ground game kept it going, as the Cougars (1-1) scuttled a young Anoka squad 42-15 Friday evening.

They may have lost a key player in the process. Zack Osmek picked off a downfield pass on Anoka’s third play from scrimmage and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. However, the senior safety hurt his knee celebrating and missed the rest of the game.

The Cougars got a pair of touchdown passes from Connor Zulk to Carter Anderson, with Zulk completing six of 10 for 66 yards.

Otherwise the Cougars turned the ground game loose for 337 yards in 41 attempts by nine players.

Noah Larson scored three touchdowns and totaled 91 yards in 15 carries. Zulk had 96 yards in seven carries, including a 57-yard run.

Austin Wlaschin gained 48 in seven

carries. Ricky Hemric was 6-for-6 on extra points.

“We dominated, but Anoka is very young and inexperienced. They started four sophomores,” said Cougar coach Mike Diggins. “We wanted to run the ball this week and get that established. We ran much better this week, but it wasn’t against a defense like Edina.” He referred to the Cougars’ opening 28-20 loss.

Osmek aggravated a previous knee injury when he leapt in celebration of his defensive touchdown.

“He tore his ACL last year against Wayzata and we hope he didn’t reinjure it,” Diggins said. “He is very good. He makes all the calls from the safety position. He is one of the best safeties we have ever had.”

Anoka (0-2) enjoyed a brief 7-7 tie after two huge offensive plays — a 38-yard pass from Jacob Deutschman to Cody Lindenberg when the quarterback fought off a sack at his own goal line, and a 54-yard run by Dylan Schmidt two plays later.

Zack Osmek eluded the last would-be tackler, Sam Street, on his way to a touchdown after an interception.

Cougar girls hand first losses to Crimson, Ponies

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Two previously-unbeaten opponents were victims of the Centennial Cougars in girls soccer last week.

The Cougars (5-1) prevailed 2-1 over Maple Grove (3-1-1) on Tuesday and 4-3 over Stillwater (3-1) on Saturday. In between, the Cougars routed Park Center 12-0 on Thursday.

Against Maple Grove,

Khyah Harper gave Centennial a 2-1 lead with 12 minutes left when she beat the goalkeeper to a ball bouncing toward the Crimson net, put a juke on a Crimson midfielder and shot into an open net.

Harper also assisted on a Olivia Lovick goal, delivered left-footed from 18 yards, in the fi rst half. Emma Fournier tied it for Maple Grove in the 60th minute.

The Bears (3-2-1) battled Lakeville South (3-0-1) to a 0-0 deadlock there Aug. 29, launching nine shots on goal, all stopped by Ashlyn Waldon. The Bears used two goalies, with Ella Janicki making three saves and Tristin Lehner two.

The Bears handed Cretin-Derham Hall (3-1) their fi rst loss 2-1 Thursday evening in St. Paul, taking a 2-0 halftime lead. Anna Racine scored off a feed from Kayla Anderson, and Anderson scored unassisted. Janicki made 11 saves. Ellie Dougherty scored for CDH. On Saturday at home, the Bears were stymied 1-0 by Maple Grove (4-1-1), giving up a

goal with 1:15 left after a turnover. Janicki made nine saves.

Volleyball team has 5-3 record White Bear Lake volleyball is 5-3 overall, after placing fourth in an Irondale tournament on Saturday, where they defeated St. Paul Como Park 25-20, 25-21 and Duluth Denfeld 2520, 25-19. Losses came against Rochester John Marshall 25-14, 25-14, and Irondale 21-25, 25-21, 15-10. “As a team, the girls performed really well. They brought a great energy into the gym and battled hard,” coach Mike Alexander commented. Autumn Grisim made six blocks against Irondale. The Bears (5-3 overall) beat 25-16, 15-25, 25-22,

15-25, 15-13 on Tuesday.

BOND REFERENDUM: ‘Students are coming and we have to be ready’ FROM PAGE 1

The bond referendum was also put forth due to growing enrollment. The district projects that more than 2,000 new students will move into the district during the next 10 years due to housing growth. The growth will be 25% higher than current capacity.

New homes in the northern part of the district and turnover of homes in the southern part of the district will both contribute to the growth.

“The students are coming, and we have to be ready for them,” Wald noted.

Districtwide safety and security improvements are also part of the plans. The district has secure entries at each school but wants to make additional improvements since students elevated their voices for school safety after the 2018 Florida school shooting.

“We need to double down on school safety and security,” Wald said.

Flexible learning spaces are also part of the plans. There would be new furniture in most of the classrooms. The plans were put forth by a 90-member facilities committee that met this winter.

Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak told the Rotarians that it is a complex plan, but it addresses the district’s needs. “It would take care of our needs for many, many years to come,” he explained.

According to the bond referendum plans, North Campus would be expanded to house all high school

DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

School superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak presented “Referendum 2019 Ballot” at the Aug. 28 White Bear Rotary Club meeting.

grades. Sunrise Park Middle School would be moved to South Campus. Sunrise would become an early childhood center, transition center and senior center, and would house district offices. The vacated District Center, where the district offices are currently, would be an expansion for Central Middle School.

There would be a new elementary school in Hugo near the post office. Oneka Elementary would be converted from a grade 2-5 school into a K-5 school.

Hugo Elementary would be converted from K-1 to an

early childhood center. Kindergarten through fifth grade enrollment at Hugo and Oneka elementary schools could nearly double within a decade, according to a recent enrollment projection study.

A question asked at the meeting was why North Campus was chosen as the site for a one-campus high school rather than South Campus, because the southern location appears to have more open land.

The North Campus site is actually larger, Kazmierczak said, and it is centrally located so that students who live further north wouldn’t have to drive half an hour to school. About 60 percent of students currently live south of North Campus and 40 percent live north, Wald added. The district expects that to become half and half soon. Homes are turning over in the south, but growth is occurring in the north, Kazmierczak noted.

Another attendee at the meeting asked what would happen if the bond didn’t pass this year, would the district come back with a smaller amount? Yes, the district would regroup and ask again, Kazmierczak said. Also questioned was why the bond referendum was put on the ballot in an off year, when not many political positions will be on the ballot. Kazmierczak responded: “An off year is not necessarily a bad time to be doing a school election. People tend to pay a little bit more attention to local issues in off years.”

Use renovations to create healthier homes Home renovation projects are done for several different reasons, whether to update styles, repair damaged or broken items or to achieve more living space. More than ever before, homeowners are choosing improvement projects geared toward making their homes healthier.

Establishing a healthy home means different things to different people. For example, to an environmentalist, a healthy home may incorporate eco-friendly or green products. To those with young children or mobilityimpaired seniors, a healthy home may be one free from potential hazards. Others may view a healthy home as one that alleviates allergies.

The World Health Organizations says inadequate housing conditions, such as poor ventilation, radon, urban pollution, and moisture issues, can contribute to many preventable diseases and injuries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially respiratory problems, nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Furthermore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air quality as a top ďŹ ve environmental risk to public health. EPA studies have found that indoor air pollution levels were roughly two to ďŹ ve times greater than outdoor pollution levels.

People interested in making their homes healthier can embrace these renovations and lifestyle changes. â&#x20AC;˘ Be aware of furniture materials. Toxic PBDEs, which are chemicals used as ďŹ&#x201A;ame retardants on furniture fabrics produced prior to 2006, can send toxins into the air. Some manufacturers may still use these ďŹ&#x201A;ame retardants in new forms, but with similar risks.

Before purchasing furniture, ask if a product is treated, and select

naturally ďŹ re-resistant materials like wool and cotton. â&#x20AC;˘ Lighten up. Lighting is often underappreciated but can have a dramatic impact on whether a home feels inviting, warm and/ or uplifting. Experiment with different types of bulbs and lighting ďŹ xtures to turn drab and dreary environments into brighter places.

Lighting may improve mood and productivity. â&#x20AC;˘ Let the sun shine in. Modify window treatments to let more sunlight into the house. There is evidence that the sun, particularly UV light, is a potent bactericide.

The Sunlight Institute advises that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no harm in letting natural sunlight do its work, as bacteria within eight feet of low-intensity UV light can be killed in 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;˘ Inspect and service woodburning appliances. A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology has found regular inhalation of wood smoke limits immune activity and function, and anyone who burns wood indoors should be aware of these potential health risks. Ensuring proper ventilation of smoke and routinely cleaning the chimney can help cut down on particulate matter. â&#x20AC;˘ Turn to nontoxic cleaning products, pesticides and insecticides. Always opt for nontoxic, natural products when cleaning in and around the house. â&#x20AC;˘ Declutter the home. A cluttered, hectic space can affect emotions and mental state, never mind attracting dust and making a home harder to clean. Spending time in spaces that do not elicit stressful feelings is healthier and can help residents to rest and recharge.

Making a home healthier can be on the list of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovation plans.

READING TREE: New, fun space to explore reading at Oneka elementary FROM PAGE 1

It all came together. JL Schwieters donated the lumber and the Hugo Lions and Hugo Elementary/ Oneka Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) donated money.

Stonehouse found out about Lake Life Furniture LLC after former Oneka Elementary Principal Teresa Dahlem told PTA members about the reading tree concept. Jess Miehe happened to be at that meeting and said she knew somebody who would be perfect for the project: her brother, Dave Nadeau, who owns Lake Life Furniture LLC with his wife, Allysa Nadeau.

“We are super excited because it is really a community effort and it really reflects a commitment to our kids on the part of our whole community,” Stonehouse said.

“And the fact that Dave and Allysa have such a great connection to the community is cool.” Both Dave and Allysa are White Bear Lake High School grads and their two children, soon to be three, will all go through the district.

Lake Life Furniture LLC has been around for two and a half years.

Even though Dave said the reading tree isn’t his “typical project,” he said he had no problem saying yes because “it is fun to do stuff for kids.” In addition to a couple of custom cribs he built recently, Dave crafted an outdoor playhouse. “The stuff I enjoy building the most is for kids,” he said.

Dave built and installed the reading tree during an 80-hour week

The four-level reading tree took 3-4 weeks to complete. The hope is that the structure will “spark creativity, imagination and reading.”

in July. He estimates that in total, the whole project took about 3-4 weeks to complete. Dave convinced his sister, Becca Engberg, to paint the structure. Engberg is a Hugo resident and has three children who will all be Bears someday.

The reading tree is made up of four levels, with large platforms for students to read on. The bottom platform is also accessible for wheelchairs. “Dave has such amazing attention to all the details.

He really built it like he was building

it for his own little girls,” Stonehouse explained. “All of the edges are smooth, it is so solid. It is a really beautiful piece that kids will enjoy for years and years.”

The structure was also constructed with safety in mind. The sturdy tree has more supports than is typical for building code in a house.

Allysa said she hopes the structure will “spark creativity, imagination and reading.” Dave added, “I hope the kids use it and enjoy it.”
