National Newspaper Week highlights importance of a free press reported the inception of National Newspaper Week, in which “the entire press can organize in a united front to impress American readers with the reliability, integrity and enterprise of their newspapers.”

The annual week-long ccelebration of America's newspapers started against a backdrop of global instability and political tension. In Europe, the Nazi Regime was rapidly expanding its power. Adolf Hitler

and Benito Mussolini met to discuss inviting Spain's fascist government, led by Francisco Franco, to join their push for world domination. Much of the emphasis during the early years of National Newspaper Week thus focused on the importance of a free press and the dangers of losing it under government censorship.

Since its beginning, Newspaper Assocation Managers (NAM) has sponsored and promoted the week–long recognition.

National Newspaper Carriers Day runs in conjunction with National Newspaper Week. This year, Saturday, Oct. 10, will mark Newspaper Carriers Day, celebrating the dedicated carriers who ensure that the news reaches community members.

Each year, National Newspaper Week celebrates the service of newspapers and their employees across North America. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the annual week-long observance, which started Sunday, Oct. 4 and runs through Saturday, Oct. 11.

National Newspaper Week began in 1940 and stemmed from California's Newspaper Appreciation Week, which had begun six years earlier. In August 1940, The California Publisher

HUGO — Following discussion at two Parks Commission meetings and two City Council meetings, the new park in the Adelaide Landing development officially has a name.

The City Council unanimously voted Sept.

21 to name the new park Arcand Park in tribute to Arthur Arcand, who once owned and farmed the land where Adelaide Landing is located.

The item was originally on the council’s consent agenda for the Sept. 8 meeting, but action was delayed pending further discussion.

Mayor Tom Weidt and Council Member Chuck Haas said they would both like to see the item go back to the Parks Commission for further discussion. The Parks Commission had recommended the new park be called Adelaide Landing Park.

At the Sept. 21 meeting, Parks Planner Shayla Denaway explained that the city received input from residents by mail, email, phone and social media on the name. Some name suggestions included: Arcand Park, Arthur Arcand Park, Adelaide Angels Park, Dragonfly Park, Heron Ridge City Park and Kangaroo Crossing.

Ultimately, the Parks Commission decided to stick with its original choice, Adelaide Landing Park, and name the sports field after Arthur Arcand. The item was once again on the council’s consent agenda for Sept. 21 but pulled off again at the request of Haas for further discussion.

“It seems to me that we have a pretty vibrant historical society, and we do a lot to maintain some connection with our past. I think we should keep that in mind when we name our parks,” Haas said. “I think we ought to seriously consider maintaining a historical connection between our park names and our city residents who have been here for decades and generations.”

Haas added that several Arcands have not only made great contributions to the city, but have been and continue to be community service volunteers. In addition, he said, several of them have served in the military.

Weidt said, “The farming community needs to have that respect when it is time for them to move on and they sell off their land. They get acknowledged through time that they were there and they made a difference. There have been a lot of Arcands in town that have made contributions to the city, served in the military and done all sorts of things. I think honoring their heritage by naming the entire

would be a shame for us to abandon the generations that have been here all of these years and developed this community to what it is today.�

Council Member Mike Miron suggested if maintaining history and heritage in the city is one of the city’s priorities, perhaps the council, and other commissions, should take another look at the naming policy and provide more

guidance for future parks.

The council also directed city staff to install some sort of historical marker in the park so people can read about the Arcands and learn the history of the land the park sits on.

Grundhofer’s Old Fashion Meats, located in Hugo at 15449 Forest Blvd. N, has been given the green light to move forward with an approximately 2,450-square-foot addition. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the item at its Sept. 24 meeting and there was no public comment. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the site plan, conditional use permit (CUP) and a variance to the City Council. The City Council ultimately approved all three items at its Oct. 5 meeting.

The addition to the existing 2,880-square-foot building will be used to receive product and expand cooler space. It will be located in between the two existing buildings on site. Owner Spencer Grundhofer explained that the addition will primarily be used for storage space, as more than half of it will be occupied by a freezer/cooler. The variance will allow a 12-foot side yard setback, where 30 feet is required by city code.

At approximately 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint from a citizen who had parked in the Oneka Elementary parking lot after school hours. The adult complainant reported that an adult male in a black pickup was engaged in an indecent exposure activity while inside of his vehicle and that he asked her to approach his vehicle as she passed by. She walked to the school entrance and made contact with a school employee, who was able to note the license plate and take a picture of the vehicle before it left the parking lot.

Upon receiving the report of the incident, deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office began searching the surrounding area and ultimately located the suspect vehicle and suspect in a parking lot elsewhere in Hugo.

During the course of the investigation, deputies determined there was sufficient evidence to charge the 27-year-old male from Maplewood with indecent exposure-engage in lewd/indecent behavior.

In a press release, the sheriff’s office thanked the reporting citizen and the staff from Oneka Elementary for their timely reporting of the incident. Because they collected both the license plate information and photo of the suspect vehicle, deputies were able to quickly locate and charge the suspect in this case.

More information was not available as of press deadline. Further updates will be posted online at presspubs.com/citizen.

BUSINESS BRIEF

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF

The Washington County Board of Commissioners will consider allowing certain property owners additional time to pay the second half of their 2020 property tax without penalty due to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency at its meeting Oct. 6.

Many small businesses and homeowners have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related Stay-at-Home Minnesota executive order and business closures. Due to that impact, the county board will consider a 30-day extension of the due date for the payment of the second half of property taxes. Property taxpayers who own non-escrow properties who pay on or prior to Nov. 16 for the following classifications will not be charged any penalty: • Commercial/industrial properties with 2020 total tax due of $100,000 or less; and • Residential properties and rural vacant land.

Residential properties include both homesteaded properties and non-homesteaded properties.

Property tax payments made by lending companies, banks or mortgage companies of funds collected via escrow payments from property owners would not be eligible for this extension and are expected to be made on or prior to the Oct. 15 deadline.

Agricultural property owners are not eligible for the 30-day extension as the due date for those owners to pay second half property taxes is already Nov. 16 under state law.

All property owners who are able to pay their second half property taxes by the due date are encouraged to do so to help support the county, school and city continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For questions, call 651-430-6175 or email taxes@co.washington.mn.us.

Your vote matters

s your local newspaper, our goal during the election cycle is to present readers with the most comprehensive information about the local election through our Voters’ Guide and letters to the editor. I know a number of you pointed out errors, which were corrected in the following week’s paper.

I will not ask you to vote for Trump or Biden, because our paper doesn’t cover the national election. Our focus is at a local level. I’m asking you to vote for who you believe is right for our communities. It doesn’t matter what side they Publisher’s are on. What matters is if you believe they will make the View right decisions at a local level the local people.

Carter Johnson forIfus, you missed the candidate profiles in our Voters’ Guide, visit our website at presspubs.com. The Voters’ Guides were published in the Sept.

24 issue of The Citizen. These are the most comprehensive candidate profiles available in our area. Share them with your family and friends. Get informed and get out to vote.

Paid letters to the editor A couple of years ago we put into play another level of transparency with a new requirement for political endorsement letters during the election. Both positive and negative letters needed to be accompanied by a $25 payment and we labeled these letters in the paper as paid letters to the editor for the benefit of our readers. For years our newsroom sifted through the ugly battle that comes during an election. People are passionate, which is great. However, campaign volunteers put enormous amounts of stress on our team with letter-writing campaigns. Something had to be done about it. Our staff saw candidates handing out letters at city council meetings for people to submit. This last week, we had two situations where people had submitted letters and wanted to have multiple signatures listed, yet those individuals were not aware they were endorsing a candidate. Also twice this week two different candidate campaigns called in to pay for letters written by their constituents. We also had a letter-writer suggest that the “paid letter” heading makes it seem like the letter writer is being paid to write the endorsement letter, rather than paying to have the letter published as an advertisement in the local paper.

I’m so thankful we implemented this level of transparency for our community and our readers. I believe the vast majority of our letters are written by our readers in their own words who are genuinely passionate about their candidate or local topics. For those readers who have made calls, expressed concerns in writing and even requested a refund of a voluntary subscription because you disagree with our election guidelines for letters, I ask you one thing -- reach out to your candidates and ask about their letter to the editor campaigns versus killing the messenger. Those of you out there who support this next level of transparency, I seek your support in subscriptions. I seek your support so we can continue to produce a quality newspaper that reflects the community where we work, live, play and raise our families.

2020 has shown us why America needs journalists

T

here is one week set aside each year to salute newspapers for the important role they have played in our nation, a role that goes back to the beginning of these United States.

This year, however, waiting until Oct. 4-10 and National Newspaper Week has been difficult, because the coronavirus pandemic and a variety of major news events across our land have tested newspapers, and our communities, in ways we might never have fathomed.

We have seen our lives and our communities change in dramatic ways because of coronavirus.

In the early weeks, businesses closed their doors and government offices were darkened in response to directives that all but the most essential workers should remain Movers & at home to guard spreading Shakers against the disease.

Newspapers Randy Evans scrambled to protect their employees, too. But newspapers still needed to be produced to serve their readers and communities and to fulfill that vital information function the Founding Fathers envisioned.

Journalists quickly educated themselves on the coronavirus and shared that knowledge with readers. They kept their communities informed — telling readers where tests were available,

reporting on local test results, sharing the heartbreaking news of deaths and alerting people about employment changes at local businesses.

Journalists turned to their kitchen tables, spare bedrooms and basement offices to take the place of the newsrooms where they had gathered with colleagues a few weeks earlier.

While the locations changed, the core mission of newspapers did not.

Newspapers have long served as “watchdogs” over government. The pandemic magnified the significance of this role because the virus closed most government offices, and meetings of school boards, city councils and county officials moved onto Zoom.

Reporters have always tried to be vigilant over the way state and local governments use tax money and make decisions. But in 2020, journalists also have worked to keep up with the dynamic nature of the coronavirus testing data.

They have tried to make sense of the metrics government leaders have relied upon in making decisions on mask wearing, social distancing, and back-to-school directives.

The most potent tool of newspapers continues to be the spotlight. They shine it on problems that need to be addressed and on solutions that ought to be considered. They shine it on stories that are heartwarming and uplifting. At other times, they shine it on topics that might raise the blood pressure of readers.

There has been a long tradition of newspapers advocating for the

public’s access to government meetings and records so citizens know what their government is doing, or not doing. This is hugely important now and long term, because government should conduct its business — really, it’s the public’s business — in open, not in secret, so citizens have the opportunity to share their views on forthcoming decisions.

The important work of newspapers stretches far beyond government buildings, however.

Newspapers are there to introduce readers to interesting people.

They tell their communities about events that are coming up and in times of great distress — during killer hurricanes and tornadoes, horrendous floods and wildfires — newspapers step up in ways that truly can make the difference between life and death. Newspapers have done that this year, once again being the go-to source for vital details the public needs — the lists of places where people can charge their cellphones, laptops and medical equipment, the locations of shelters and meal distribution sites, and places where people can get drinking water or provide a helping hand to those in need.

The immense challenges we all have dealt with this year clearly underscore the fact that America needs journalists.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAID LETTER Donald Raleigh lives life of service

Many families and youth in the Centennial area came to know Donald Raleigh when they joined the Civil Air Patrol at the Anoka County airport.

Donald Raleigh serves as a volunteer leader in the United States Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol, because he is committed to our communities and proving a positive role model for our kids. As a squadron commander he built and nurtured the largest squadron in Minnesota. As a group commander he was able to guide hundreds of airman and officers in performing missions for our community and nation in the areas of emergency services, aerospace education and leadership training.

For over 12 years Lt Col Raleigh has helped to introduce the joys of flying and has made significant contributions to young people who have gone on to careers at Space X, Google, West Point Military Academy, the US Air Force, Marines, Navy and other professional endeavors.

Donald Raleigh has received numerous medals and awards and even a Disaster Relief Ribbon authorized by President Obama, all as a volunteer while raising a family and starting a business.

An important trait in Donald Raleigh is the discipline to succeed. Since 2003, when he started his successful digital marketing company, he’s put in the hard work, dedication and focus that is required to succeed. He will bring that same spirit to accomplishing goals at the State Capitol.

Donald’s record of military service includes eight years of active duty before and during the Gulf War. He had the honor of being assigned as a Sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery and served as a presidential escort to President Ronald Reagan, “one of the most impactful experiences of my life”, as he described it to me.

I’ve seen how Donald Raleigh has practiced a life of service, and I believe he will be a fantastic state representative.

Bill and Sharon Boettner Lino Lakes

PAID LETTER Likes who is backing Raleigh

Which groups a candidate is endorsed by tells you who they’ll be listening to when they go to the state Capitol. And how they’ll be voting on key issues.

The endorsements received by Kris Fredrick include the powerful public sector unions — AFSCME, AFLCIO, SEIU and Education Minnesota. These groups’ leadership will make sure he raises taxes, increases government’s power and adds more regulations. Other endorsements come from radical climate activist groups — Sierra Club, Clean Water Action and MN350 plus Planned Parenthood and Outfront Minnesota.

On the other hand, Donald Raleigh is endorsed by the people who create jobs and grow the economy — NFIB (for small business), the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the Minnesota Farm Bureau and Minnesotans for Affordable Health Insurance. They’ll push for lower taxes, more well-paying jobs for Minnesotans and less red tape.

Donald Raleigh also has been endorsed by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association because of his strong background in the military and his enthusiastic support for public safety and our police officers.

I like who is backing Donald Raleigh. I know he’ll be looking out for my interests, my paycheck and my job.

PAID LETTER Chamberlain has earned our support

This letter is written to support our senator, Roger Chamberlain. He has served the constituents of Senate District 38 with his heart and his wisdom. When it was learned Water Gremlin had violated Minnesota Pollution Control air emissions standards, the citizens were rightfully angry and concerned.

Sen. Chamberlain listened to the community, and with all parties to solve a serious problem. He put politics aside, worked with community members, MPCA and others to author a ban on use of trichlorethylene, a carcinogen, in manufacturing.

It was passed and signed by the governor. There was no hesitation in Roger’s actions: he led the negotiations and worked across the aisle to make this a community win. Roger has rightfully earned our support on Nov. 3!

Craig Johnson Lino Lakes

PAID LETTER Raleigh is a proven leader

This is not the fi rst pandemic nor the last.

Our world has changed since March. Every day commuting to work, kids to school even something once simple like dinner and a movie are complicated today. Our economy is struggling to rebound in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One thing for sure, no one wants a repeat of 2020.

That is why I am endorsing Donald Raleigh, an entrepreneur that has experience in creating a path to success. Other candidates can follow orders, but this is a time for a proven leader who can find creative safe solutions for the future.

The burdens of being a business owner for many years is a perspective that will be essential at the Legislature. Donald Raleigh’s expertise lies in getting businesses back open and people back to work. His digital marketing company has closely partnered with hundreds of businesses in our communities and he knows what businesses need to be competitive and safely serve customers.

To survive the current pandemic and the next one, we need a different plan that adapts better, we cannot just cancel everything. Government, like business, needs to pivot to new products/services, new methods, implement new rules and regulations and train a new workforce. We need creative solutions that keep us safe but allow us to lead our lives without fear and confusion. A vote for Donald Raleigh is a vote for the economy and strong leadership for the uncertain path ahead.

Dave Roeser Lino Lakes

PAID LETTER Reelect Chamberlain

My state Sen. Roger Chamberlain in SD38 has earned my strong support for reelection. I admire his dedication to serve all taxpayers and families, avoiding partisan rancor.

Roger has earned my trust as the Senate’s Tax Committee Chair. He prioritized working families by leading passage of tax relief, including a rare cut in the income tax rate.

As a senior, I especially appreciate that most Social Security Minnesota income taxes were eliminated. Sen. Chamberlain also successfully

advocated for roads and bridges funding, without raising gasoline taxes and license tab fees as others had proposed.

Sen. Chamberlain’s support for schools has gone beyond the increase in per-pupil funding, to include funding for school safety improvements.

Even before the Communist Chinese COVID-19 reached Minnesota, Sen. Chamberlain worked for bipartisan solutions to deal with the crisis, including that individuals without health insurance get free COVID screening, testing and treatment. Health care providers and fi rst responders were guaranteed worker’s compensation insurance if they contract the virus while performing their jobs.

Our state senator’s philosophy is that government must protect and empower us, not make our life more difficult.

We know Sen. Chamberlain’s dedication to serve the families of SD38 and that his record of achievements is stellar.

Let’s reelect Roger Chamberlain in Senate District 38!

Brian H. Davis Lino Lakes

PAID LETTER Fredrick has refreshing approach to politics

Kris Fredrick is running this November for the Minnesota House of Representatives seat in District 38A. As a staff scientist at Honeywell’s Research and Development Center, I got to know Kris Fredrick well. For 10 years, Kris was my Honeywell legal counsel, collaborating with me on innovative technology ideas and protecting them through the patent process. I came to appreciate Kris for his understanding of science and innovation, as well as intellectual property law.

I am confident that, if elected to the Legislature, Kris Fredrick will propose legislation, make decisions and cast votes that are informed by science, not political party dogma. Now, as we approach the 2020 elections, our politicians and government are facing a huge crisis of credibility. Science has been minimalized. Data has been marginalized and manipulated for political gain.

This disregard for science impairs our government’s ability to deal with the big issues of our time — energy, climate, environment, health. It affects every person in Minnesota. I would like to see more people like Kris Fredrick in our Legislature who make their decisions independently and with a healthy respect for data.

I hope that you will check out Kris Fredrick’s website at www.voteforkris.com and see what he has to offer voters. You will find a man with a refreshing approach to politics: honest, thoughtful, informed by science and innovation, and with the ability to collaborate across party lines to help meet the needs of ordinary people.

Kris Fredrick will be a great representative for us in District 38A. I encourage you to support him.

PAID LETTER I choose Jeff Reinert I believe Jeff Reinert is, and continues to be, the best candidate for Anoka County Commissioner because he has an undisputable track record of sticking up for and fighting for his constituents. Jeff has stood up for his people time and again as a councilman and mayor and will continue his advocating as a voice of strength and reason at the county level.

As a mayor, Jeff was always open and available to listen to concerns of the residents he served. He continues to make time for others by serving on the Planning and Zoning Board, volunteering at the American Legion, and is often seen in smaller roles such as congratulating Cub Scouts as they advance on to Boy Scouts. Jeff loves his community and will continue to work hard for the benefit of others around him.

A true leader is passionate, and Jeff has never backed away from his stance on an issue to appease others. Jeff will tell you his feelings and stick to them, which is why you can always trust that he means what he says. His lengthy experience in business and government has honed Jeff’s skills as an advocator, negotiator and voice of the people.

Jeff has lived in our community his whole life and raised his family here. He cares about large-scale commercial development in our area and small projects such as walking trails and sporting fields that make our community a great place to live. He will continue to look out for all our families’ best interests as a county commissioner, and he deserves our vote.

Nate Vojtech Lino Lakes

When I vote, I’m looking for somebody who represents me and my family, not government.

I have read about Justin Stofferahn, and all I see is that he’s been on government’s side. For one year, he lobbied the Legislature for the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities to renew $1 billion in taxpayer subsidies (LGA) for cities. Adding insult to injury, suburban cities like Lino Lakes and Hugo receive zero LGA. For several years, he worked for the Minnesota Department of Revenue and before that, for the government in Illinois. Right now, he’s an “advocate” for a nonprofit that’s trying to channel the power of unions to pressure for stiffer environment regulations.

Most of us in the private sector have gone through two recessions in a dozen years. We’ve had to change jobs, get rehired or retrained, spend down our savings while laid off, just to stay afloat financially. Mr. Staufferhahn, who has been on the pro-government side for years, has little understanding of the real world for most of us.

Who will put me and my family’s needs first? My vote will be to reelect Sen. Roger Chamberlain, a citizen legislator who knows personally the struggles most of us endure to support a family, educate kids and build a nest egg!

Steve King Centerville

PAID LETTER County commissioner I have been lucky enough to grow up in this great area, seeing all the changes. For the last 10-plus years I have been able to serve on local boards, commissions and councils to serve the residents of our community to the best of my abilities. On Nov. 3, we will be voting on the District 6 Anoka County Commissioner.

We have been represented by a commissioner who cares and who puts our area as a priority. I do not want to see that change. I feel Jeff Reinert is the person for

the job. He will not just conform to a group because it is easy, he will voice his opinions and will make sure our area is heard. We may not be as populated as the districts to our west, but we are as important.

I have had the chance to work with Mr. Reinert in his role as mayor, as a professional and as a resident. He has the knowledge and passion for the job. He treats people with respect and is always willing to listen. He has ideas that may not fall in line with conformity but will always make this county a priority. He is honest and straightforward and will make the right choices for our district and the county.

Please get out and vote Nov. 3.

Matthew Montain Centerville

PAID LETTER Chamberlain deserves our votes Without a doubt, Sen. Roger Chamberlain has shown he truly cares about his community and his state. He has done so in many ways. Over the years he has been in every neighborhood and every precinct and has met with people where they live, learn and work.

Several years ago, people from Minnesota Asian American communities called Sen. Chamberlain and asked him to meet with us about data disaggregation. He responded, listened to us and carried our concerns to the state Capitol.

During 10 years serving as state senator, Sen. Chamberlain has gotten things done. He led on getting White Bear Lake’s water level studied. He pushed through the TCE ban; he championed rail repair and jobs in Hugo. On taxes, he delivered a middle-class tax cut and Social Security tax cuts. He fought for literacy and attention to dyslexia.

Sen. Chamberlain, you are a senator of whom I am proud. You are more than platitudes. You listen, you act and you deserve our votes for reelection.

Jennifer Zhao Lino Lakes

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS safety of our employees and public,” City Administrator/ Engineer Mark Statz said. Montain said he voted against the project, not because he was against the project itself, but to be a fiscally conservative voice when it came to spending taxpayer money.

• Unanimously approved the LaMotte Park irrigation system project change order No. 1 to add a meter, along with other minor modifications, in the amount of $7,080 to Peterson Companies, Inc. of Chisago City.

The money for the project will come from the stormwater utility fund. The addition of a meter will accurately measure the amount of water pumped, which is the basis for the city’s stormwater credit. To date, city staff has been relying on estimated flows.

City staff has found

a preferred metering system to add to the existing project.

The change order also accounts for some minor piping changes due to field conditions discovered during construction.

These two items were not included in the original bid because staff had not agreed upon a preferred vendor.

• Approved the Centennial Fire District (CFD) 2021 proposed budget, which represents a 0% increase overall.

Centerville’s share of those expenses rose slightly ($572) based on the annual adjustment to the funding formula. Customarily, Centerville and Circle Pines, the two participating cities, ratify that decision by having their respective councils vote to accept the proposed budget.

The city will pay $298,396 for fire and

emergency coverage using funds from the general fund. The CFD Steering Committee recently unanimously adopted its proposed 2021 budget.

• Approved the Centennial Lakes Police Department 2021 proposed budget, which represents a 2.7% increase overall.

However, Centerville’s share of those expenses decreases by $11,595, based on the annual adjustment to the funding formula. The city will pay $849,994 this year for police coverage, using funds from the general fund. The three participating cities, Centerville, Circle Pines and Lexington, customarily ratify the CLPD decision by having their respective city councils vote to

accept the proposed budget.

• Approved pay request No. 1 for the LaMotte Park irrigation system project to Peterson Companies of Chisago City in the amount of $24,416.

The council next meets at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, at City Hall, 1880 Main St. or via videoconference.

The Centerville City Council took the following action at its Sept. 23 meeting: • By a vote of 3-1 (Council Member Matt Montain opposed) approved City Hall renovation project change order No. 1 in an amount not to exceed $150,000 to the current contractor, Crawford Metz LLC of Minneapolis, for office area COVID-19 improvements. At its Sept. 9 meeting, council voted to engage a design team and its current contractor to spend a large portion of its CARES Act funds to make city offices safer and healthier by separating city staff by walls and doors. Included in the new office design are touchless faucets at sinks and other touchless facilities, such as a water bottle filler. “The new offices will make everything more sanitary with an eye toward the

Tips for dementia caregivers during the pandemic risk factor for dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to follow guidelines established by the CDC as they continue to provide care for dementia patients. • Wear face masks or cloth coverings.

Face masks or cloth coverings should be worn when tending to dementia patients. This includes when preparing meals for dementia patients or cleaning their homes. The CDC urges caregivers to wear personal protective equipment when providing personal or medical services to people with dementia, including when helping them bathe. • Arrange for a substitute caregiver if you are ill or exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19. Caregivers should have a backup caregiver lined up in case they feel ill or if they are exhibiting

any symptoms of COVID-19 or if they have been exposed to anyone with the virus. The CDC notes that symptoms of COVID-19 include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and muscle or body aches. A full list of COVID-19 symptoms can be found at www.cdc.gov. • Wash your hands frequently. Frequent handwashing can help dementia caregivers keep their patients safe. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds upon arriving at your patient’s home, and continue to wash your hands frequently throughout the day. If visitors arrive, insist they follow the same handwashing routine. If you cough or sneeze during the day, wash your hands immediately, and always wash hands before preparing meals.

• Look for virtual programs that encourage social engagement. Virtual gatherings have become the new normal as people try to maintain connections with family and friends while respecting social distancing guidelines. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to consider programs that offer virtual activities that encourage dementia patients to engage socially. Such engagement can lift patients’ spirits and remaining socially active supports brain health.

Caring for dementia patients during the COVID-19 outbreak requires embracing various strategies to reduce patients’ risk of exposure to the potentially deadly virus.

Caregivers play vital roles in the lives of the people they look after. That’s especially true for people caring for dementia patients, many of whom require round-the-clock help every day.

A caregiver’s role is never easy, but the demands have been even greater during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite social distancing guidelines and recommendations to reduce interactions with those vulnerable to COVID-19, including the elderly, dementia caregivers must continue to help patients in need.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that older adults are at the highest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. That puts dementia caregivers in difficult positions, as data from the World Health Organization indicates that age is the strongest known

Until recently, private funds or long-term care insurance have been the only ways to finance long-term care like skilled nursing homes, assisted living facilities or home health aides, which are not covered by traditional health insurance. However, a new option is now available. According to the online financial resource NerdWallet, for those concerned about the financial risk of buying long-term care insurance and never using it, combination long-term care/ life insurance policies may be better options. Depending on the policy, a portion of the funds can be used for long-term care that’s equal to several times the premium payments. This results in a reduced death benefit, depending on how much of the long-term care benefit was used. Some policies even guarantee a small percentage of the death benefit, even if all the money allocated for longterm care was used. The American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance said that more than 350,000 Americans purchased long-term care coverage in 2018 and roughly 84 percent of these purchases were for hybrid or combination life insurance. A much smaller percentage were traditional long-term care policies, showing the trend toward this growing insurance market. Hybrid products may have lower premiums, and they can be paid in a lump sum or over several years. For those who do not tap into the long-term care savings, the policy will still pay out a death benefit to beneficiaries.

BUSINESS BRIEF HealthEast Clinic Hugo to close

Fairview Health Services announced Oct. 5 it is making significant changes due to sustained losses throughout 2020. According to a statement from Fairview President/CEO James Hereford, the health care system saw losses of $163 million in the first six months of 2020.

As a result, approximately 900 positions systemwide will be eliminated by the end of the year. Meanwhile, two hospitals (Bethesda Hospital & St. Joseph Hospital) are undergoing significant changes and 14 primary care clinics in Minnesota will be consolidated into other locations by the beginning of December.

Sites to be consolidated by Dec. 4 include HealthEast Clinic- Hugo, located at 14688 Everton Ave. N, and M Health Fairview Clinic- Lino Lakes, located at 7455 Village Dr. The M Health Fairview Pharmacy in Lino Lakes will also close by Dec. 1.

CENTERVILLE — The City Council at its Sept. 23 meeting voted 4-0 (Council Member Michelle Lakso was absent) to adopt its 2021 budget and tax levies.

The 2021 total levy will increase by $23,697, or 0.87% over the 2020 tax levy. “The $24,000 increase — under 0.9% — is a very modest increase,� said Finance Director Bruce DeJong.

In fact, most Centerville residents will barely notice any increase on their property tax statements come November, DeJong said. “With the new property value coming online from Ruffridge Johnson and other new construction, this will undoubtedly result in a tax increase of less than 1% on the average home in Centerville,�

DeJong said. For some properties, the tax increase may be almost imperceptible, or near zero, he said.

For next year, the total proposed tax levy for Centerville will be $2.7 million. The general fund budget will also be $2.7 million.

DeJong called city leaders responsible both in the short term

and in the long term. “You fund operations, and some capital projects are built in (the budget),� DeJong told council members.

In addition, the city is more than sufficiently covered for a decrease in local government aid (LGA) of up to 20%, DeJong said. Because the state of Minnesota is experiencing financial challenges of its own, he expects a move to reduce LGA payments to cities and counties. The city is not highly dependent on LGA from the state; it amounts to about 2.7% of the city’s total revenues, he noted. Even a 20% decrease from the $75,626 in aid represents only about a $15,000 revenue loss, he added.

DeJong said the city has a strong cash flow and has made good investments spread out at decent rates. “The city has done a marvelous job of investing responsibly,� he said. If the city’s fund balance drops below the targeted level, there is a plan in place to increase it. “It was responsible and respectful to have a levy increase of less than 0.9%,�

DeJong said The city also has a 99% property tax collection rate and has exceeded that strong collection rate during

HUGO BITS & PIECES The Hugo Th H City Ci Council C il took k the h following f ll i action i at iits Sept.

S 21 meeting, held via videoconference: • Heard a COVID-19 update from City Administrator Bryan Bear. There wasn't much new information to share, but Bear mentioned council meetings, and other commission meetings, would likely continue to happen virtually for the foreseeable future. • Removed the naming of the new park in the Adelaide Landing development from the consent agenda. The council unanimously chose the name Arcand Park. See full story on pages 1-2. • Approved the city’s preliminary tax levy for 2021. At its Sept.15 midyear budget workshop, the City Council listened to a presentation from Finance Director Ron Otkin highlighting revenues and expenditures to date as well as projections for the 2021 fiscal year. It was the consensus of the council that the 2021 preliminary tax levy provide for no increase in the urban tax rate. The total proposed 2021 property tax levy of $8,916,507 will keep the urban tax rate at 39.186. • Approved an extension to a leave of absence for Firefighter Baily Lund, who has been on leave since May 15.

the past few years, DeJong added. In fact, staff has not seen property tax collections drop below 97% for the city over 30 years of boom and bust cycles, he said. The city has built in a contingency of $50,000 for its capital projects. If not needed for capital projects, these funds can cover shortterm drops in property tax payments if residents are unable to make their payments on time. In the COVID-19 economy, financial uncertainty for everyone could test that long streak of timely property tax payments, DeJong noted. The contingency fund of $50,000 would cover a more than 2% delinquency rate, he said.

The city also has healthy reserves in its general fund, water fund and sewer fund, he added.

An opportunity for the public to see a budget presentation and comment on it will be available during the truth-in-taxation hearing, scheduled for Dec. 9. The preliminary 2021 levy adopted at the Sept. 23 meeting may be reduced before the final 2021 levy is adopted in December and submitted to Anoka County, but it may not be increased.

Weather tidbits

Did you know?

The word ‘uncopyrightable’ is the is the only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating any letter

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com It was a brutal start to the month, temperature-wise. High temperatures were about 10º colder than normal and we experienced our first widespread frost on Sunday morning. Although Sunday's morning low was only 31º with clear skies and no wind, surface temperatures were probably 3-5º colder. Uncovered plants and vegetables were hit hard. The sun on Sunday made it feel a little warmer than the 55º high. Since this is Minnesota, and our weather is anything but normal, we're enjoying a nice week of Indian summer. Note: I'm looking for pictures for my 2021 Watson Weather Calendar. Email watsonwx@aol.com. Thanks!

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

In 1973 Grandpa Johnstone opened Cup and Cone to drive business to Johnstone’s Dairy and Grocery Store. He purchased the old service station next door to the grocery and renovated it into the now iconic building on 4th street.

According to 3rd generation owner, Rick Johnstone, his father Keith Johnstone started with one flavor (vanilla). Since then C & C has expanded to fifteen flavors, with new flavors planned to be introduced in October of this year.

Through the years they tried pizza, spaghetti and other meal types, before finally settling on Submarines. “Dad sold 10 sandwiches that first day”, recalls Rick. Now they sell between 75 and 100 every day!

Rick started working at the store at age 12 and remembers with fondness how they would make their candy bar malts.

Back then every malt would get an entire full-size frozen candy bar. “We would take the frozen bars and a huge knife and chop them by hand for each malt”.

“Snickers were the worst”, says Rick.

Like so many others, this October will look very different from the first 46

years for Cup and Cone. New flavors being unveiled include: Fudge Brownie, Cookie Dough, Oreo, Cotton Candy, Coffee Espresso and California Cake Batter. Their popular S’mores items will continue through October. Their online store is open offering all products, (including ice cream), so fans may order from anywhere and pick up their favorite treats without waiting outside.

Rick is proud of the store’s “Frozen 6-Pack for the WBL Food Shelf ” program, where customers have donated nearly $6,000 from March thru August 1! The program will continue this fall.

For the first time ever, Cup and Cone will be open into November this year, and maybe even a “Cup and Cone Christmas 2020”!

Second generation owner T J Ricci, exhibits a sense of pride discussing the bar his parents opened in 1974.

The family has been the owners of this “Cheers” style bar where everyone knows your name for most of the last 46 years. In 1996 the Ricci’s entered into an agreement with the city to lease the building, while retaining ownership of the business. According to Ricci, “things have been going very well for the past 24 years”.

The original building was built in the 1870’s, as a livery stable. Shortly after prohibition ended in the early 1930’s, Fred Lenhart, a professional boxer, and fixture for years with the WBL Fire Department, purchased the building and opened Lenhart’s Bar, which he ran until 1969. It is said when the fire whistle sounded Fred would leave the patrons in charge while he ran out to help fight the fire!

Ricci speaks with pride of the friendly, family atmosphere, the dedicated hardworking staff, and the family’s commitment to community.

Over the years the bar has continued

to sponsor many youth sports teams, including football, hockey, softball and lacrosse. They are big supporters of the WBL Hockey Association through meat raff les and charitable gambling.

Ricci feels the longevity and loyalty of their employees is due to the strong family atmosphere and a feeling that the owners “have their backs”. Longtime manager Angie Eret has been working with staff to create a Facebook page to help support other bars and restaurants in town.

During the initial COVID shutdown, the bar underwent an interior renovation, with new furniture, barstools and a whole new bar and bar top. “It has really given the place a fresh look”, says Ricci. For food they offer popcorn and Heggies pizzas. The Bar is open seven days a week.
