Steakhouse coming to Hugo? BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — Residents were disappointed this past winter when the proposal for Cozzie’s Tavern & Grill on city-owned property across from City Hall never came to fruition. But now, another plan is in the works. Hugo residents Tony and Michele Harmening would like to build a 4,500-square-foot steakhouse called Cattle House and a potential event center on the property along Egg Lake. Tony presented his plans to the city’s Economic Development Authority Oct. 15. “We looked all over for a place to start a restaurant and we think that Hugo is best place to start one,” Tony said. “We really love the area. The area is growing rapidly. I think the community needs another place.” Michele added, “Tony and I have talked so many times about the lack of restaurants in Hugo, so when this came about it was very exciting to be able to do something like this and have another place to go.” Even though nothing is finalized yet, Tony said, “it’s going to happen.” City Planner Rachel Juba explained the EDA recommended that city staff negotiate a purchase agreement with the Harmenings, which would then need to

14th annual bus tour makes 22 stops BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — There were only three spots left open on the 14th annual citywide bus tour Oct. 5.

Credit union proposed for vacant lot near Blue Heron BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — Despite a lot of backand-forth online about the newest development proposal in the city, no one was present to voice their opinions during a public hearing. The Planning Commission considered a site plan and planned unit development (PUD) amendment Oct. 10 for a proposed credit union that would be located on the 0.91acre lot on the corner of Victor Hugo Boulevard N. and Frenchman Road, across the parking lot from Blue Heron Grill. LaMacchia Group, on behalf of Heartland Credit Union, would like to build a 2,470-square-foot retail bank branch building. Tim Niemiec, senior architectural designer with LaMacchia Group, explained, “Hugo was identified in our strategic planning as a high point of interest; they have a lot of clients in this area.” The Victor Gardens development was originally approved in 2000. In 2007, United Properties Investment LLC received city approval of a preliminary plat, PUD amendment and final plat for Victor Gardens North Village 4th Addition for a restaurant and bank. The Blue Heron Grill currently occupies Lot 2, while Lot 3 remains vacant. In December 2007, M&I Bank received PUD final plan approval for a 5,112-square-foot retail bank; however, a building was never constructed. City staff reviewed the site plan and PUD amendment for consistency with the standards outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Victor Gardens PUD General Plan and found that the proposed plans are consistent with city standards. Staff recommended approval of both items, subject to some conditions. City Planner Rachel Juba explained city staff wants to review the proposed building materials to make sure they are consistent with other buildings in Victor Gardens before the city issues a building permit. On Oct. 9, one Hugo resident created a post about the proposal on the Nextdoor app. The post said, “The last thing the city needs is another bank,” and encouraged residents to contact

the city to express their concerns. As of press deadline, there were around 100 comments on the post. Many of the comments were from residents who said they would rather see a restaurant, grocery store, pharmacy or craft store come to Hugo. The feud made its way to Facebook and was eventually picked up by the Dave Ryan Show on 101.3 KDWB. Despite the online engagement, there were no public comments during the public hearing. The commission ultimately recommended the council adopt the site plan and PUD in a 5-0 vote (Commissioners Bronwen Kleissler and David Fry were absent.) Commissioner Matthew Derr said, “For so many years that little plot of land has just been a pond. This is

East metro prosecutors launch record-sealing website Washington County Attorney Pete Orput and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi announced a transformative effort to help people move beyond the barriers and collateral consequences associated with past involvement with the justice system. As of Oct. 3, after completing their sentence and any applicable waiting period, rehabilitated people who have a criminal record in Washington or Ramsey counties will be able to go to www.helpsealmyrecord.org to apply to seal their criminal record and alleviate the collateral consequences that follow a criminal conviction — some of which can last a lifetime. “Prosecutors are ministers of justice — it is our legal and ethical responsibility to help people who have paid their debt to society to remove the scarlet letter of a criminal conviction, along with the barriers it creates to accessing jobs, housing, education and other necessities in life,” said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. “By proactively helping people who have done everything we have asked of them in the criminal justice system to seal their criminal records, we are transforming our approach to ensure our residents have access to justice, increasing their likelihood of success.” According to the FBI, nearly one in three adults in the U.S. has a criminal record. Long after people have atoned for the harm they caused and fulfi lled their obligations to the justice system, criminal records and the collateral consequences that follow continue to serve as barriers to jobs, housing, education and more, preventing people from serving as productive members of their community. Studies have shown that very few people who are eligible to seal their records successfully apply, but among those whose records are sealed, very few commit new crimes. Moreover, on average, they experience a significant increase in wages and employment within the next two years — a win for them, for our economy and for our community. “The expungement process is confusing, cumbersome and expensive — by helping people determine if they qualify and appealing to the court to seal the records of those who do, we are removing these burdens for our residents,” said Washington County Attorney Pete Orput. “As prosecutors, we must recognize that restoring people to productive members of our community when they do well is equally important as administering consequences when they commit crimes.” Expungement — the legal process of sealing a criminal record — has been available in Minnesota to those with qualifying records since 1996. Changes to the law in 2014 and 2015 incorporated language directing courts to seal records
“We rightfully ask people who have done wrong to others and to society to pay the price. Too often, though, once they’ve paid that price and done everything we as a society have asked, they continue to pay the price — sometimes for the rest of their lives.” Keith Ellison Minnesota Attorney General if prosecutors agree, absent the interest of public safety requiring them to remain public. The law changes also expanded the number of eligible offenses. Typically, only those who could afford a private lawyer would even attempt to get their record sealed given the complexity of the process and associated court fees. In the last year alone in Ramsey County, 187 people applied for an expungement; 120 of those used a lawyer in the process. In 2017 in Minnesota, 18,288 people were sentenced with a felony. “We rightfully ask people who have done wrong to others and to society to pay the price. Too often, though, once they’ve paid that price and done everything we as a society have asked, they continue to pay the price — sometimes for the rest of their lives. That makes it unfairly hard for them to afford their lives and live with dignity and respect, and that holds our whole society back,” said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. “The Ramsey and Washington county attorneys’ offices are taking a transformative step to make it part of their jobs as prosecutors to help seal the records of low-level offenders who’ve paid the price and just want to give back. My office is proud to strongly support them and to partner with Ramsey County this weekend in a public fair to help people learn how to get this done.” Although Minnesota state Statute 609A.02 includes a long list of eligible offenses, some of the most common are: fi fth-degree drug possession or sale, theft, receiving stolen property, damage to property, forgery crimes, issuing a dishonored check, fi nancial transaction card fraud and mail theft.

Bring on the trick-or-treaters
T
his will be my husband and my first year in Hugo for Halloween. We are hoping it is more eventful than when we lived in Oakdale. There, we were lucky if we got one or two trick-or-treaters. While our new home was being inspected, our inspector who lives in the area told us to get ready to buy bags and bags of candy because he never seems to have enough. I always enjoy seeing all of the costumes each year. Of course my favorite is when the human trickor-treaters bring their four-legged Out & companions. This year, our corgi Twinkie will be dressed up as a About unicorn and our German shepherd Frosty will be a donut. We plan to Shannon get some doggy treats too, just in Granholm case we spot some dogs looking for handouts. Halloween brings its challenges for dog owners. Every time the doorbell rings, the dogs seem to think the world is ending. Unfortunately, our dogs won’t be able to show off their costumes and hand out the candy and treats with us. I will just have to take pictures to prove that they let me put the costumes on. Each year I also enjoy looking at all of the decorations around town. I am always in search of people who go all out. Last year I really enjoyed writing the article, “Pumpkin mania a family affair” about Lino Lakes residents Ami and Jason Furchner and their children who live on Arrowhead Drive. In a tradition that stretches back more than 40 years, hundreds of pumpkins are gutted the Friday before Halloween and then family, friends, neighbors and strangers spend the next day carving. The pumpkins are then arranged on risers and lit up with different colored Christmas lights. If you know someone in our coverage area who has a unique story like this one, we would love to hear about it. It seems like nowadays more and more people are attending special events such as Trunk or Treat rather than going door-to-door to trick or treat. Growing up, I remember eating Papa Murphy’s pizza, getting all dressed up and heading out into our big neighborhood to collect candy. After a while, we would have to head back home to dump out our candy and then head out for some more. At the end of the night, I remember dumping out all of our candy on the living room floor to check out what we got. My parents made us check every piece to make sure it was still intact in its packaging and there was nothing suspicious. Of course they stole some pieces, too. I hope you all have a fun, safe and warm Halloween. Shannon Granholm is editor of The Citizen and Quad Community Press.

When vaping kills
ver the past six weeks, vaping went from a safe way to quit smoking to a killer of at least seven people, including one in Minnesota. Hundreds of other people in more than three dozen states have been sickened. So, what happened? A deadly duo The medical community has long been concerned that the flavorings of vaped nicotine will cause “popcorn lung.” This is a condition caused by inhaling the butter-flavoring Movers & on microwave popcorn. Shakers It sickened workers in a Thomas E. factory with a Kottke, MD condition called bronchiolitis obliterans. The only definitive treatment for popcorn lung is a lung transplant. However, because of the low dose of flavoring in vaping products, we expected that it would take a decade or more for this condition to develop among people who vape.
The current epidemic appears to be due to the ability to load THC and CBD oils into vaping devices, such as Juul. The vaping devices deliver the oils to the smallest airways of the lungs where the oils cause inflammation and destruction of the lung tissue. Steroids can reduce the inflammation. However the problem is so new that we have no idea about the long-term effects. It is most safe to assume the worst: the lungs are irreversibly damaged. An impending epidemic Now, one in nine high school seniors in the U.S. vapes nicotine daily or nearly so. If the teens of today are anything like I was at their age, they are more likely to laugh at us than heed our advice or warnings about vaping. But even if only 1% of the 15 million high school students in the U.S. vapes cannabis oil, we’ll have a major epidemic on our hands with 140,000 cases of severe lung disease each year. By comparison, only 2,500 lung transplants are done in the U.S. each year. And as a cardiologist, I can tell you that a lung transplant makes a heart transplant look like a walk in the park.
What we need to do • Ban the sale of flavored nicotine. This will make vaping less attractive to children. • Ban vaping in work places. Minnesota did this in the last legislative session. Other states should follow suit. • Be a role model: Don’t smoke, don’t vape. • Control online sales of vaping devices and vaping fluids. • Develop and implement a campaign by youth for youth that publicizes the hazards of vaping. Emphasize the particular hazard of bootleg products. • Develop and disseminate model conversations for parents so that they can start talking to their children about the dangers of vaping when they are as young as five or six. • Increase the monitoring of vaping behaviors and vapingrelated illness rates. • Increase the purchase age of all vaping products to 21 years old at a minimum. • If the epidemic continues, look at even stronger steps, such as banning online sales and/ or prohibiting vaping devices entirely.

he hosta needs no introduction as the shade perennial of choice in Minnesota gardens. Hostas are valued for their lush, fabulous foliage and their ease of growth. With more than 3,000 varieties now available, there are more reasons than ever to grow this reliable plant. Whether you are new to hostas or a seasoned fanatic, here are some ways to add more hostas to your garden. Try a new size. If you are growing only medium-sized hostas, you are missing out. Hosta sizes range from dwarf to giant, with every size in between. The tiny hosta blue mouse ears grows to 8 inches tall and 19 inches wide. Empress Wu, said to be the biggest of all hostas, grows to 4 feet high and 6 feet wide. Try planting small hostas to create a new border, or choose a giant hosta for a striking focal point. To reduce the need to move or divide your hostas, plant them in a space allocated for their full-size growth, which typically takes 4-5 years. Try a new color or shape. Hostas come in an astonishing array of colors and leaf shapes. Colors include many shades of blue, green, yellow and gold that can be solid or variegated. Hosta leaves can be smooth, veined, waxy, cupped, puckered, ruffled, curled, twisted or heart shaped. A shady area can be brightened with gold or

More hostas variegated hostas. While most hostas prefer shade, be sure to check light requirements for each hosta variety. Some need more sunlight to bring out their vibrant colors. Try a new location. By strategically planting hostas in the right locations, you can solve garden problems and maximize hosta benefits. Hostas can be planted under trees for easier mowing Gardener’s and weed prevention. Hostas mingle Grapevine beautifully with other shade-loving Holly Berger perennials such as astilbe, bleeding heart, ferns and coral bells. They are also great companions for spring bulbs, since they fi ll in vacant spaces as bulbs die back. Hostas with white variegated leaves or white flowers are great additions to moonlight gardens. Some hostas such as guacamole and stained glass have very fragrant flowers that can be best enjoyed in higher traffic areas. Try potted hostas. Hostas can easily be grown in containers where they look great and are simple to relocate. They can be arranged on steps, entries or decks for dramatic color and impact. Potted hostas can

fi ll in empty spaces in your garden or beneath trees. Small hostas work well in group arrangements, while larger hostas get attention as bold specimen plants. To grow hostas in containers, make sure you use pots and potting soil with good drainage and water frequently. Bring your potted hostas into an unheated garage, shed or protected area for the winter. They’ll be ready to make another grand entrance in the spring.
Hostas are a proven favorite and the incredible varieties available today make them an exciting choice for your garden. Hostas can be planted in the fall as long as they have time to establish their roots before a hard freeze, so go ahead and try something new!

Administrators displeased with watershed’s levy increase BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
On more than one occasion, area city administrators have attended Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Board of Managers meetings to voice their concerns with the proposed 2020 budget and tax levy. That list includes Centerville City Administrator/City Engineer Mark Statz, Circle Pines City Administrator Patrick Antonen, Lexington City Administrator Bill Petracek, Lino Lakes City Administrator Jeff Karlson and Mounds View City Administrator Nyle Zikmund. “The district is working hard to balance fiscal responsibility with the responsibility we have to our residents to provide services for water quality and flood control. We believe the new budget reflects the priorities of the watershed management plan,” said RCWD Communications and Outreach Coordinator Beth Carreño. The 2020 proposed budget is $8,186,939, with a total levy of $5,181,376, higher than the 2019 budget of $7,345,030 and levy of $4,710,392. “The owner of a $200,000 home would pay an estimated total of $37.92 to the RCWD in 2020. This amounts to an estimated $1.11 increase from what was paid on a $200,000 home in 2019,” Carreño explained. During the public hearing on the proposed budget and levy Aug. 28, Statz read aloud a letter he submitted to the board the day before the meeting. It read, in part, “We understand that the board will be contemplating a 10% increase to the levy, while spending down a significant portion of its excess fund balance. This increase alone is concerning, paired with last year’s 7.5% increase. Additionally, residents of Centerville and others within the Centennial School District will see significant increases in their taxes due to a recently passed school levy. We ask the board to consider reducing this year’s increase to a more modest amount.” Statz added that the RCWD’s use of the example of a $200,000 home is a bit deceiving. “To use the $200,000 home as a benchmark... that doesn’t really compare apples to apples, because what you are doing is you are setting that $200,000 at one spot and not understanding that my house doesn’t actually stay at $200,000. If I owned a $200,000 house 10 years ago, and you look at it and say your taxes are only going up $1.39 this year — no, my taxes are going up $1.39 plus whatever tax on the increase in the value of that home.” Antonen described the 10% increase as “hefty.” “If we did that as a city, we would

have a lot of angry citizens at our public hearing. It is concerning that the only angry citizens here are the city administrators. It is really difficult to understand what you are actually spending the money on,” Antonen said. “I am concerned with your budget process, and I think it should be more open and transparent. Taxable market value is going up and your tax levy should be going down. I hope you guys will consider making some modifications to the budget.” Petracek said, “Lexington is a built-out community, low to moderate income. We generally try to keep our levy between a 0 2% increase. One of the things we have been trying to do these past few years to give our community a tax break is by redeveloping and bringing some new value into the community. With this redevelopment, we are trying to spread it out a little bit more; with entities that are going up 10% with

their levy, we are kind of working against each other. I would just ask the board to consider a different plan.” Once again at the board’s Sept. 11 meeting, administrators shared that they are concerned with the proposed budget. “Having gone through and scrutinized your budget a little bit, I thought the legal fees seem to be quite high. And obviously a 10% increase is quite a substantial increase for the taxpayers of Lino Lakes as well as other Anoka County cities,” Karlson said. “I just wanted to let you know as a representative of Lino Lakes it is a little alarming to me, especially the legal fees over $200,000 … what in the world are you spending those fees on?” Antonen said he agreed with Karlson. “There have been a lot of emails between the administrators in Anoka County who are very concerned with a budget increase of 10% when everyone’s levy seems to be
holding pat or going down, and your levy is going up,” he said. “It looks like you are spending about $20,000 per month on legal fees, and that’s our entire budget for a year for civil legal fees. Lino’s is about $25,000, Hugo’s is $22,000, Centerville’s is $20,000 and Lexington’s is $20,000. That’s pretty alarming when you add all of that up and you guys spend that in one month.” Manager Mike Bradley stated that the board did listen to the city administrators’ comments from the last meeting and reviewed the proposed budget and levy. He said that one of the problems the district is facing is that it is undertaking some major projects that are spending down the reserve funds. He explained that the district has a policy in place to maintain 40% in its reserves, and if there is no action taken, much larger actions will be necessary in the future. The board ultimately approved the preliminary 2020 budget and certified the preliminary levy in a 4-1 vote (Manager John Waller voted no). There will be a public hearing on the district’s budget and levy at 9 a.m. on Dec. 11 at Shoreview City Hall; public input from citizens and entities within the watershed district will be accepted. Waller explained that he did some calculations to see how the increase would impact a couple of cities and Washington County as a whole. Waller said that when he looked at the numbers for Hugo, there was about a 13% increase. He said Hugo’s contribution to the district went from about $290,000 last year to $333,000 this year. As a whole, the county had to pitch in $928,000 this year, compared to 846,000 last year. “I personally want to see the money that comes out of Washington County spent in Washington County, that’s what I am concerned about,” Waller said. “That’s the one thing the district doesn’t do to my satisfaction: calculate how that money comes back into these communities that are spending it.” Manager Steve Wagamon said, “I thought we worked very hard on this budget to get it down as far as we possibly could without damaging communities we are supposed to be helping. I agree that our spending on legal is high, but I also think we have complicated stuff that we are bound by law to do,” he said. “I don’t see where we have a lot of places to cut except discretionary spending, and that hurts the very people, in my opinion, that are here talking about this.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizennews@presspubs.com.

Parent advocacy group offers support and connection BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Centerville mothers Gina Schmittdiel and Erin Ribar met three years ago after being connected through the Down Syndrome Association (DSA) of Minnesota. Gina and her husband Brian have two children, a 4-year-old and soon-to-be 3-year-old Gunnar, who has Down syndrome. They are also in the process of adopting a newborn from the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network. Erin and her husband Matt have four children ages 7, 4, 2, and 7 months. Ben, their 2 1/2-year-old, has Down syndrome. “An employee from DSA reached out to me to let me know a new family had moved into town. I emailed Erin, we met for coffee and we have been hanging out ever since,” Schmittdiel said. In 2017 the mothers began attending a Down syndrome parent group in Blaine. The following year, the two stepped up to facilitate the group, which they are doing again this year with the help of Sana Kassab Soussi from Blaine. Because the location in Blaine was only 10 miles away from another support group in Mounds View, they decided to find a new location in Circle Pines. The group meets the second Monday of the month, October through May. The meetings consist of a meal, discussion or visits from a guest speaker. Free child care is provided during the meeting from volunteers who are ages 14 and up. “Our group really likes the parent time. Sitting down together, having a meal, chatting about what is going on,” Schmittdiel explained. “On this side of it, the community is so amazing and supportive, but when you are just getting that diagnosis it feels so heavy and hard. We want to share the positives and amazingness of it.” Ribar added that, “For a lot of families, getting the diagnosis can be a traumatic experience. It is really helpful (to connect with parents who have been through it) to see where your kid will be. It is nice to be around other parents who get it.” Currently the group has families that travel from Centerville, Hugo, White Bear Lake, Bethel, Anoka, Ham Lake and St. Paul. Both Schmittdiel and Ribar are advocates for children with Down syndrome. They were selected from a statewide pool of candidates to attend an eight-month Minnesota Partners in Policymaking leadership training, which started this fall. Schmittdiel serves as a board member for the DSA of Minnesota and Ribar is an active volunteer for DSA of Minnesota events. Ribar is also involved with the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network Medical Outreach Team, where she attends medical conferences as a patient advocate. “Our meetings are meant for the community, to help strengthen each other, to bounce ideas off each other and support each other on things that are hard because they are, sometimes, and our children aren’t always accepted,” Ribar explained. “We just want to build a strong community that will accept them and let our children be the best that they can be because it is better for everyone.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizennews@presspubs.com.

public access to Sunset Lake? When we start asking those questions, we get very different answers depending on where people live,” he said. County Road 7 was recently posted with no parking signs because people would park on the side of the road; the question was raised whether that was safe or not. The city engineer, county engineer, public works director and the sheriff’s department all evaluated the situation and agreed it wasn’t safe. The Preserve on Sunset Lake is currently under construction. The residential development will consist of 13 single-family homes on about 140 acres. The Parks Commission has discussed a proposal for Sunset Lake Park, which would be located near Homestad Drive and 125th Street N. The city has a total of 1.63 acres along Sunset Lake that has been set aside as park dedication from two developments: The Preserve on Sunset Lake and Royal Haven Estates. Plans for a future park could include a drop-off zone for people unloading unmotorized watercraft, trails, fishing platforms and canoe/kayak storage. The commission has not yet decided what to do with the property and is still collecting public input.
4. Goodview Avenue North The city will complete a reclamation project on Goodview Avenue N. in 2020. “This road is one of the roads that we spend the most time patching and trying to hold together. This road is falling apart on us,” Bear said. Reclamation is a process that uses an asphalt reclaimer machine to recycle old asphalt and underlying sub-base into a strong, homogenous new base. The new base can be re-shaped and

then overlaid with a surface course such as hot-mix asphalt or chip seal to produce a brand-new driving surface that will last for years to come.
6. Adelaide Landing About half of the 330-plus units have been constructed so far in the 111-acre residential development, located at the corner of Highway 61 and 130th Street. The development is one of many in the city that utilizes stormwater for irrigation. Some of the
neighborhood lies within the White Bear School District and another portion is in the Mahtomedi School District. The development offers various housing products and lot sizes, which range in price from about $345,000 to more than $700,000.
7. Water Tower Work continues on the water tower at Well No. 6 that will serve southern Hugo. The 150-foot tower east of Highway 61 and south of 125th Street will hold 1.5 million gallons of water and should go online in fall 2020. The tower on 130th Street will be dismantled sometime after spring 2021. The project cost $3.5 million.
10. 130th Street trail and Hardwood Creek alternate trail alignment “We would like to figure out how to get a trail connection through here. We have some nice new trails that were just done on 130th Street on the other side (east) of highway this year. There is no trail on this side (west) of the highway, but we would like to try to connect it to the regional trail,” Bear said. The City Council approved the drafting of preliminary design documents not to exceed $13,000 for a feasibility study. The Parks Commission included $20,000 in its capital improvement plan in 2019 for the project. WSB has completed a site evaluation and has proposed three potential trail layouts. The commission is currently gathering feedback from residents. The largest challenge will be finding funding for the project.
12. Heartland Credit Union The city received an application from Heartland Credit Union for the lot on Victor Hugo Boulevard in front of the Blue Heron Grill. Bear explained that the site was originally planned for a bank many years ago. The thought was that Blue Heron and the bank would share parking, so when Blue Heron hosted special events, customers could park at the bank rather than on the Festival Foods parking lot. The Planning Commission discussed the proposal Oct. 10. See the full story in this week’s issue of The Citizen.
17. Washington County Compost Site The Hugo compost site, located near the intersection of Fenway Avenue and 170th Street North, has accepted grass clippings and leaves in the past, but not brush. Washington County has agreed to take over the site, formerly available only to Hugo
residents, and make the site available to all county residents. Services will be expanded to include the collection of yard waste such as garden waste, leaves, lawn clippings, weeds, shrub and tree waste, along with source separated organic material or kitchen and food waste. The site was supposed to be up and running Oct. 6, but due to the wet weather it is behind schedule. The city is still operating the site, which is now open Sundays.
13. Rosemary Apartments Rosemary Apartments (formerly known as Frenchman Lofts) is slated to be an approximately 80,000-squarefoot, three-story apartment building with 45 units on the property located north of Rosemary Way and west of Everton Avenue (just north and east of Festival Foods). Construction on the affordable housing project can begin any time now, weather permitting.
18. Peloquin property, potential school site The White Bear School District has 15198 Forest Blvd. N under contract for a proposed $43 million elementary school. Bear said. The district previously identified four properties located on Everton Avenue N., just north of Frenchman Road, as a potential site but has relinquished those parcels. The purchase of the land is contingent on passage of the bond referendum. Find a map of the tour on presspubs. com/citizen.

DID YOU KNOW? • The city of Hugo consists of 36 square miles. The vast majority of the city is still rural in character. The agricultural part of the city is likely to stay that way until at least 2040, as the city does not plan to extend its utilities to those areas in its Comprehensive Plan. • TGK Automotive hopes to not only build an expansion at its new facility in Hugo, but also at some of its other locations. • The city received an application Oct. 4 from the White Bear School District to locate a bus yard on a vacant parcel located on Fenway Boulevard just north of Northland Pallet in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. It would be contingent on the passing of the $3.26 million bond referendum that is on the ballot this November. • All construction projects in the city are behind schedule due to wet weather.

Council also directed staff to negotiate the terms of a potential lease agreement extension based on the recommendations from the consultant’s report for future consideration by council. This action resulted from a letter the city received from T-Mobile, the cell phone provider leasing antenna space on the city’s water tower. The letter from T-Mobile stated the company would be merging with Sprint and would be renting antenna space on the Centerville tower at a considerably lower price. The current lease of $28,000 per year will expire in 2021. The consultant will help the city determine market value for rental space on the tower and determine the possible risk of the mobile carrier canceling the lease.

City Council tries to gauge future success of TIF LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
CENTERVILLE — If she’d known there would be a 53-unit apartment building across the street from her, a resident of Centerville Road said she would not have moved into her house. Her commentary came during the public hearing held during the Centerville City Council Oct. 9 meeting about whether to establish the Block 7 Housing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. “I live in a house with a path next to it that wasn’t there when I moved in,” said Council Member D. Love. There will soon be a mini storage outside his back yard, as well. Love said he didn’t want either of them, but asked himself what was best for the city and taxpayers as a whole. “Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s not good for me.That’s the chair I sit in,” he said. It didn’t help council to make a decision about going ahead with establishing the TIF District when only three residents out of some 4,000 people in Centerville showed up at the public hearing to give their input. It also didn’t help council that Trident, the developer, wasn’t present at the meeting to shed light on the proposal from its end. And despite all the proper notifications made to Anoka County and the
Centennial School District that their tax dollars could be dedicated to the TIF District, neither body has commented, said Northland Securities TIF consultant Tammy Omdal at the start of her presentation. With Council Member Michelle Lakso absent, council had only four members to vote on this important action item about which it had received little enlightenment. Progress on establishing Centerville TIF District 1-8 will remain in a holding pattern for now, after council voted unanimously to table the item. Earlier this year, the city received an application for TIF dollars from Trident Development for a 53-unit apartment building that included a small retail component on vacant cityowned property located on Centerville Road between Sorel Street and Heritage Street. The project would include surface parking spaces plus detached garage bays. If the TIF district is ultimately established, the city would supply $1.35 million in Tax Increment dollars, using city, county and school district taxes produced by the new construction. As a housing development receiving TIF dollars, a portion of the project needs to be affordable, according to Minnesota law. At least 20%, or 11 units, of the 53 units must be made available to people making 50% of the
area-wide median income. The area-wide median income in Centerville is approximately $100,000. A two-bedroom unit at an affordable 50% of median income would be $1,125, compared with the market rate of $1,775, Omdal said. TIF is a statutory financial tool available for a city to promote economic development, redevelopment and housing development in areas where it would otherwise not occur, Omdal said. In general, the establishment of a TIF district allows the city to capture the revenues generated by the increase in net tax capacity resulting from new development within the TIF district. City Administrator/Engineer Mark Statz offered a simplified explanation of the current proposal: This proposal does not take dollars from the existing taxpayers to give to developer. Under the current plan, the city takes taxes the developer pays and gives the tax dollars back to him. The developer will pay like everyone else, but those taxes will be reimbursed to him up to $1.35 million. Think about but/for: if we don’t offer this incentive, this project will not move forward and those taxes will never have been paid. Without that building there, there are no taxes. Annual taxes on a $6.3 million building would be $100,000. When the city is done paying $1.35 million or the 20-year reimbursement period is
up, the developer will continue to pay taxes. And the city is done reimbursing him. So, in 2039 or 2041, Centennial School District, Anoka County and the City of Centerville will start keeping those taxes. In earlier TIF discussions, council members said they preferred the pay-go method of paying the developer as it collects revenue. The city will not put up money up front, Omdal said. The developer finds the money, then the city reimburses $1.35 million – which is what the developer thinks they’d need to be profitable – over 20 years with interest, she said. The total tax dollars the developer will receive under the proposed TIF plan is $2.3 million, to be split among the tax collecting bodies. For the rest of the meeting the Centerville City Council peered hard into the future. Would the project happen without TIF or wouldn’t it? “We don’t know,” Mayor Jeff Paar said. The parcel in question has sat vacant for 17 years, Paar noted. “That’s as long as I’ve been on council,” he said. “If we had done this TIF 17 years ago, we would be getting thousands and thousands of dollars.” After more peering into the future trying to see the end of a successful TIF project, Paar said, “20 years from now, I’ll be 70 years old.”

be approved by the City Council, likely at its Nov. 4 meeting. For years, the property along Egg Lake has been marketed by the city for $1 to those who could provide a full-service restaurant or some form of destination use and exceed the requirements of the city’s Downtown Design Guidelines, Juba explained. The Harmenings have lived in Hugo since 2011 and have three children, ages 4, 5 and 10. Tony, who is originally from Brainerd, said that he has been in the catering business his entire life. Michele, who is originally from Forest Lake, has been a stayat-home mother. Tony has done catering for TV shows and mov-
ies in Los Angeles, Chicago and Louisiana. For the past 10 years, he has run his own catering company called Martini Craft in New York. “I have been commuting back and forth for 10 years, and I am kind of over that,” he explained. The couple has big plans for the family-friendly steakhouse. The menu will feature appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, steak, cocktails and mock-tails, and affordable kids’ dishes. The casual atmosphere would feature a dining area, bar and patio seating. There would also be activities all year long, such as ice hockey and skating, snowmobile races, volleyball, paddle boats, cornhole, bocce,
live music and more. “We want to make it a destination for families, a place where they can come and hang out,” Tony said. Eventually, Tony said the couple hopes to add on an event center and separate retail buildings, perhaps an ice cream or coffee shop. “We are very excited to be bringing this to Hugo,” Michele said.

Confident runner nabs Bears first SEC title in 19 years BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Max Nelson was pretty sure he’d be wearing a gold medal at the end of the day. “I knew going in I was going to win,” said the 2019 Suburban East Conference cross country champion, two days later. “I am an ‘ego’ runner, and if I tell myself I’m gonna do something, I go out and do it. “I was talking a pretty big game before the race.” Having called his shot, the White Bear Lake senior delivered, outrunning the field in a meet with three of the top four ranked teams in the state, at Tanners Brook Golf Course near Forest Lake on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Nelson covered 5,000 meters in a personal-best 15:55.7, pulling away from Finn Sokolowski (15:58.9) of Mounds
View and John Feller (15:59.3) of East Ridge — becoming the first Bear conference champion in 19 years, since Matt Glover in 2000. “I just stuck with the top three, and at the 4K mark I hauled it in,” said Nelson, who lead the Bears to second place behind Mounds View. The 6-foot, 130-pound runner who finished 14th as a sophomore (16:36) and seventh as a junior (16:11) became champ after giving up his other sport. “Max has always been a solid runner. He played basketball until last year, and this summer decided he wanted to focus solely on running,” said coach Dan Kovacich. “He had a real solid summer of running that he didn’t get in past years.” Kovacich was delighted to have the fi rst champion in his 17 years coaching the Bears, after three runners-up. The coach assessed that Nelson ran smart,
sticking among the lead group but not going full throttle until the last 1,000 meters. “Max has a lot of foot speed and can run anything from 400 to 5,000 meters competitively. We talked about if he was in the lead the last 800 meters no one was going to beat him.” Nelson caught a little break when Sokolowski, his prime rival, made a mistake. “Finn took a wrong turn and lost a few steps. I yelled at him that he was off course,” said Nelson, who, along with Bear teammates, became good friends with the Mustangs when both teams attended a running camp at UWWhitewater this summer. Next is the Section 4AA meet Wednesday, Oct. 23, featuring the 1-2 ranked boys in the state, Oliver Paleen from Highland Park and Mickies Kiros from St. Paul Central.

Two defensive touchdowns, and two more from the prolific Zulk-toAnderson connection, helped the Centennial Cougars beat Osseo 42-21 in the regular season finale Wednesday evening. The Cougars take a 6-2 record and No. 10 ranking into the Class 6A playoffs. Seeded No. 2 in Quadrant 3, they will host No. 7 Stillwater on Friday, 7 p.m. On the fourth play, an alert Jake Pierson had a gift-wrapped touchdown fall into his hands. An Osseo back fumbled the ball up in the air when tackled by Garret Strating, and cornerback Pierson snagged it on the run with 36 yards of open field in front of him. Connor Zulk heaved touchdown passes of 42 and 11 yards to Carter Anderson on the Cougars’ first two possessions and they led 21-7 at the fi rst stop. That’s 10 times they’ve struck for six this year and 17 times

in their careers. The Cougars got one-yard touchdowns from Austin Wlaschin in the second quarter and Noah Larson in the fourth. Timothy O’Neill capped it off with a 44-yard interception
return. The Cougars lost three fumbles in the second half to keep the game fairly close. “That’s the only way they stopped us,” coach Mike Diggins said. “We
only punted once. Our defense played well again but we gave them short fields. Osseo has good athletes, and they are all juniors. They will be a good team next year.” The Cougars fumbled on the fi rst play in the second half and the Orioles scored on the next play. Later in the period, Zulk broke a 70-yard run but fumbled on the six. Osseo, moving the ball mainly on passes, trailed 28-21 early in the fourth quarter but the Cougars responded with a 17-play, 10-minute drive to open a 35-21 lead. Then O’Neill’s pick six sealed the deal. The Cougars tied for fi rst in their district with a 5-1 record, same as Totino-Grace and Champlin Park. Zulk gained 86 yards in 10 carries. He competed three of six passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns, all to Anderson. Wlaschin gained 72 yards in 23 carries, Larson 50 yards in 12 carries and O’Neill 50 yards in four carries, as the Cougars averaged 6.6 yards per rush.

The White Bear Lake girls were runners-up in the Suburban East Conference cross country meet, led
by Maddie Verkerke in third place, on Tuesday, Oct. 15. “We had a very good meet. We set our team goals to fi nish in the top two and have five all-conference athletes,” coach Patricia Percival
Carter Anderson, Centennial wide receiver, caught his sixth and seventh touchdown passes of the season, from 42 and 11 yards, from Connor Zulk, as the Cougar football team defeated Osseo 42-21 in the regularseason finale last Wednesday. The 6-4, 205-pound senior has 29 catches for 572 yards for the Cougars (6-2) while also excelling in downfield blocking. With 15 career TD receptions, he is one short of the school record.

said. “We knew this would be a very difficult goal and would have to have a great day to do this. And we came so very close to meeting these goals.” The Bears had four all-conference with another missing by one spot in the race at Tanners Brook near Forest Lake. Verkerke, a senior, was third into the chute in 18:41.7. Also all-conference were Melanie Pankow in seventh (19:02), junior Claire Schneider in 17th (19:24), and sophomore Maggie Blanding in 19th (19:38). Placing 21st (for honorable mention) was junior Natalie Andres (19:43). “I am very proud of this team and the way they performed in tough conditions,” Percival said. “The confidence that we gained today will help us at the section meet next week.” Stillwater had three of the top five, including champion Ana Weaver, building a 34 to 67 edge on the Bears. Forest Lake was third with 85. Next for the Bears is Section 4AA on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at the University of Minnesota’s Les Bolstad Golf Course. TEAM SCORING — (1) Stillwater

The beneďŹ ts of hiring professional contractors The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had. But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difďŹ cult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects. Experience A trial and error approach can work with various projects and problems. But applying such an approach to home improvement projects is risky and potentially dangerous, not to mention costly. Experienced professional contractors with strong track records (seek recommendations from friends or neighbors) won’t have to go through trial and error and are therefore more likely than DIYers to complete a project on time and on budget. Inspiration One oft-overlooked beneďŹ t of working with professional contractors is the likelihood that they can draw up ideas for projects that homeowners might otherwise never have thought up on their own. Homeowners without speciďŹ c ideas in mind can ask contractors to come up with various scenarios before committing to a particular one. Veteran contractors can draw on years of experience to create designs that DIYers might be incapable of coming up with and/or incapable of seeing through to completion. Cost Conventional wisdom suggests it’s less expensive to do something yourself than to hire someone else to do it for you, but that’s not necessarily true of home improvement projects. Labor costs typically account for a substantial amount of professionally contracted projects, but homeowners can cut those costs by volunteering to do some of the simpler tasks themselves. In addition, contractors often purchase materials at a much lower cost than individual homeowners because contractors buy in bulk. So while labor costs might be lower on DIY projects, the cost of materials can offset those savings. Resale value Many homeowners renovate their homes with eyes on improving the resale value of those homes. But if homeowners want to showcase a newly remodeled kitchen when selling their homes, they should be prepared for prospective buyers to ask who worked on the project. Fearing potential problems down the road, some buyers might be put off by homes that were remodeled by DIYers and not professional contractors. Renovating a home on your own can be a rewarding project for homeowners. But it’s important that homeowners recognize the many beneďŹ ts of working with professional contractors before making any ďŹ nal decisions with regard to who will tackle their next project.

Sue (Cleary) Hunt, Class of ‘65, worked the alumni booth where unclaimed diplomas were waiting for their owners. Earlier, Hunt volunteered to cook 500 sausages for the White Bear Lions pancake breakfast in the Hippodome and brew 100 cups of coffee. She’s been married to Lion David Hunt for 51 years. They met in third grade at St. Mary’s school. Her sister, Mary (Cleary) Kowitz, is alumni association president.

Louann (Rockwell) Lindbeck, Class of ‘57, and Peter Reis, Class of ‘55, chat in front of the Mariner and White Bear uniform table at the District Center. Lindbeck shared a story about looking for a classmate named Phil Zuniga for 61 years. She called every Zuniga she could find to track him down to invite him to the class picnic at her Dellwood home, with no luck. This year, he was standing 2 feet away when she spotted his name tag at the registration table.
