Bisila, originally from Kettle River, Minnesota, moved to Circle Pines in October 1962. His love of gardening dates back to when he was growing up. He has many fond memories of pulling weeds out of his mother’s garden with his brother.
Don Bisila, a longtime volunteer with the community garden program, is stepping back from his role as chair after 40 years.
Commissioner Perry Laden said he would like to see a broader text amendment for the site, so that if in the future the dental clinic did not work out, that site wouldn’t be limited to only a dental clinic. “(That way) someone else can easily move in without going through this whole process again,” he explained. He suggested broadening the use to general business.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the text amendment as well as the site and building plan at its last meeting.

That’s part of what makes a community a really great place to live; it is people seeing a need and stepping up.”
Park Board Member Barb Zorzin added, “It is wonderful that he carried his love of gardens to Circle Pines to make a wonderful opportunity for our residents to garden if they didn’t have a place to garden.” She added that the community gardens have been a vital asset to Circle Pines.
City Planner Katie Larsen explained that per the city’s Market Place planned development overlay (PDO) design guidelines ordinance and site plan, the lot is required to be developed into a bank. A text amendment would be necessary to change the site use from a bank to the other proposed uses.
“He has a good 40 years of helping the community, and all through volunteer efforts,” Bartholomay said. “It’s been a lot of work, a lot of phone calls, a lot of handling of details and all as a volunteer.

CIRCLE PINES — After 40 years of service to the community, the longtime chair of the community garden program is stepping back from his volunteer duties.DonBisila is the newest resident to join the list of Mayor’s Award recipients. Bisila’s award marks the 11th award Circle Pines Mayor Dave Bartholomay has given out since 2009. In addition to the award, two benches have also been installed in his honor, one near the community gardens at City Hall and one at the community gardens in Baldwin Park.
The text amendment would essentially replace the site plan that was approved back in 2001 with the updated plan.

Minnesota’s archery deer season is upon us, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is encouraging hunters to make a plan for their season by considering safety, hunting regulations, chronic wasting disease and steps they need to take to process their deer. Hunters can use the DNR’s “make a plan for deer season” webpage (mndnr.gov/ DeerHunt) to find comprehensive hunting and chronic wasting disease information they should
review before going afield. The DNR will host a webinar at noon Wednesday, Sept. 21. Dana Keller, an archery coach at A-1 Archery in Hudson, a Level 3 USA Archery coach and bowhunter, will discuss how to prepare for the upcoming archery deer season and suggest ways to have a more successful hunting season this year. The webinar is a part of the DNR’s Minnesota Outdoor Skills and Stewardship Series. The webinar is free, but registration is required. More information is available online at mndnr.gov/Discover.

So far, Java Companies has worked with four different banks for the drive-thrus, he said.Commissioners ultimately recommended that the City Council approve the text amendment and site and building plan. The proposal is on the agenda for the City Council’s Oct. 3 work session. The council will likely consider action on the proposal at its Oct. 10 meeting.

• At its Sept. 14 meeting, council unanimously (Council Member Russ Koski was absent) approved a purchase agreement with Schifsky Companies to develop the site. Schifsky Companies will collaborate with Jim Boo of High Pointe Realty to build 24 attached townhome units within four buildings, six per building, in downtown Centerville at 14.9 units per acre. The buildings will be two-story structures with attached two-car garages. Each home will provide residents with two private, enclosed garage parking spaces that will be accessible from the new private road. Unit size is expected to range from 1,600 to 1,900 square feet. The estimated baseline unit price range is expected to range from $295,000 to $350,000. The target market will be homebuyers looking for an affordable, low-maintenance new home. Schifsky will essentially take Centra’s plan and build it, City Engineer Mark Statz said. Schifsky has six months to decide whether it will move forward and close on the deal. After all the formalities are successfully completed, construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2023, Statz said.

t’s sad how quickly a light can go out. W hen I found out my uncle Del passed away last month, a lifetime of memories came rushing through my head.
Del was 81 years old. He had been on kidney dialysis for approximately eight years. He was a widow for 30 years. His wife, my aunt Sharon (my dad’s sister), died suddenly from a heart attack and he never remarried. Since I was born, Del and Sharon were a big part of my life. They were my Godparents and when I was confirmed, they took me to Disney World. It was a great trip!Along with my parents, Del and Sharon were owners of our cabin in Wisconsin. We spent many weekends together. I have many memories of fishing, swimming, campfires and playing cards. They had a Bayliner speed boat so I learned how to water ski and the dangers of tubing. Del loved to take me, my brother and two sisters on wild rides when we were young – and we loved it. Since my aunt and uncle didn’t have children of their own, we became their surrogate kids.
Conservation of our natural resources takes a concerted effort for all of us every day. It truly is the little things that matter. Take the time to read the list of recyclable items in our community, which triangle codes to look for, what goes where. Our new rubbish contractor has told us that too many of the wrong items are going into our recycle bins; about 19% of the time! Things that are put to use other places, like clothing or plastic bags, do not belong in the recycle bin.

If you would have told me a couple of weeks ago that the mill was shut down and the grange was collapsing, I’d be the most upset man you ever saw. Now, I don’t even care. It doesn’t mean a thing. I just wonder how much our lives are spent worrying about things that just don’t mean anything.”Thisisso true and pretty much says it all. Del got the hero funeral he deserved. He was buried at Fort Snelling National Cemetery last week. Sharon’s ashes are now next to his. Del kept her ashes all these years so they could be buried together. The funeral honor ceremony included a color guard, rifle volley and the folding and presentation of the flag. When “Taps” was played, there wasn’t a dry eye under the shelter.

I lived with Del and Sharon when I went to the University of Minnesota in the late 80s. Del and I went out to lunch at least once a week.

So, like it or not, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court, nothing has changed in Minnesota. Abortion is still available for those who think they have no other choice, and it’s not going away any time soon. May God forgive us.

Sometimes this meant big things like caring for others through health challenges, helping others bounce back from setbacks in life, and praying faithfully for others when nearly all hope seemed lost. Other times, this meant countless little things like cooking special meals, baking favorite treats, maintaining family holiday traditions, making quilts for family members, taking in family pets when others could no longer care for them, or just being available anytime for a chat, words of encouragement, or a laugh when that was just what was needed. Good hearted beyond compare, she was loved by many and will be forgotten by none.

If you are looking for happy-go-lucky, energetic, sweet young boy, then Roo Miguel is waiting for you. Roo is a handsome Dutch shepherd mix who loves to go on walks, play fetch and go for car rides. He is about 2 years old and is from a local shelter. Roo likes all people and children, and he really enjoys playing with other dogs. He’s very social. However, he is not very fond of cats.
This isn’t education, it isn’t equality. It is a bleak, unhappy place; it is oppression itself — a dehumanizing, intellectual prison, and a giant step
Biden wants personal sacrifices from citizens like me to hypothetically fix the global climate issue while China and India continue with their coal plants belching. This big government plan runs roughshod over citizens and elevates questionable ideology over humanity.
AcademicsLETTERneed to be first
The high cost of groceries and lack of products on the shelves, how much it costs me to fill car’s gas tank, rising violent crime rates in my neighborhood and the number of deaths weekly in Mpls and St. Paul, what is my child learning (or not learning) at school, why haven’t his math and reading scores improved, why is the state taking more money from my paycheck than they budgeted for …
The new standards, now in their final draft, were crafted by people mostly hand-picked by DFL Gov. Walz for their “wokeness,” the Professional Educators Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB). These new standards require teachers to put ideology and politics ahead of kids and affirm a worldview in which we are all divided and judged by race, class, oppressed and oppressor, and a world where gender is fluid.
Today, it’s the Republican candidates who have your best interests at heart, and the best solutions to the problems affecting Minnesotans every day.
Want your kids to learn to read, write do math? Would you like them to grow to be a critical and free-thinking individual? Want your kid accepted to a quality college or university? Then the current hubbub over the proposed teacher licensing rules in Minnesota will alarm you.

It goes on — 100 distinct standards governing what a teacher must understand and apply in the classroom. Politics and ideology of oppressor and oppressed, race and class become a substitute for academic excellence.

TO THE EDITOR WEEKLY WAG
Age 81, a 39-year resident of Buena Park, California, originally from Minnesota, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on September 2, A2022.devoted wife of 62 years, loving mother of 6 children, and proud grandmother of 6 grandchildren, Janet was cherished by her family for her selflessness in making sacrifices for the happiness and comfort of others.
Growing up on a farm in Minnesota meant your parents were Democrats, which meant you were a Democrat. However, today’s Democrat Party is not the party of my parents. Those Democrats used to care about the little guy. They had policies they thought were in the best interest of all Minnesotans. This is far from true today.What matters to most Minnesotans today?
Just two years ago, on Sept. 14, 2020, gas prices were $2.077 per gallon in Minnesota. On Sept. 12, 2022, gas prices are averaging $3.669 in Minnesota. Earlier this summer on June 13, shockingly, they peaked at $4.753. What clearer demonstration of the differences in energy policies under the Democrats (Biden) vs. under the Republicans (Trump)? Are the good ol’ days of reasonable gas prices over?
Yes, Biden took pride in high gas prices as part of his plan to push the economy toward 100% renewables. For us, a nation rich in fossil fuels and heavily dependent on transportation, this is government-inflicted torment.

So, your decision this November is important. Will you cast your vote for Mr. Walz and the Democrats, whose policies have caused havoc in every part of your day-to-day life, all because of misinformation on your access to abortion? Or will you choose commonsense Republican candidates who will be tough on crime, support our peace officers, offer tax cuts and tax relief for families, push for curriculum transparency in schools and parents’ rights, reject gas tax increases, fight fraud and audit out-of-control government spending?

This is the deplorable state of K-12 education in Minnesota. PELSB ignores that 50% of kids cannot read at grade level or do math. Yet, to be licensed, teachers must affirm that (according to standard 4(H)) “The teacher creates opportunities for students to learn about power, privilege, intersectionality and oppression in the context of various communities and empowers learners to be agents of social change to promote equity.” Or standard 6(F) says, “The teacher assesses how their biases, perceptions and disciplinary training may affect their teaching practice and perpetuate oppressive systems and accesses tools to mitigate their own behavior to disrupt oppressive systems.”

Depending on your outlook, it’s either been a great September weather-wise so far or a bit of a disappointment. About the only thing to be disappointed
in is the amount of rain we’ve received or haven’t received. I’ve totaled only 0.25 inch of rain this month. I recorded only two days with rain. Temperatures have run slightly above normal meaning outdoor activity hasn’t been hampered by rain. Saturday evening featured a rare lone thunderstorm moving through Hennepin and Anoka counties. If you were out that evening you may have seen the distant thunderhead and lightning. Autumn begins on Thursday, September 22 at 8:03 pm.

Each year, CLPD uses a formula (population, number of calls and severity of calls) to determine how much of the budget each of the three cities will be responsible for. Due to a “sizeable” increase in Lexington, Antonen explained Lexington’s portion of the budget will increase by $144,834. Centerville will also see an increase of $42,536, whereas Circle Pines will actually see a decrease of $5,223.

• The City Council has signed off on the proposed 2023 Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) budget for $3,104,333, which will now need to be approved by Centerville and Lexington. City Administrator Patrick Antonen explained that the CLPD is projecting a 3.96% ($118,147) increase over the 2022 budget, primarily due to increases in personnel/staffing costs and inflationary costs (fuel, IT).
• Circle Pines has also signed off on the proposed 2023 Centennial Fire District (CFD) budget of $705,309, which represents a 4.93% ($33,112) increase from 2022. Antonen said the main driver of the increase is personnel costs, but the department has also seen a significant uptick in call volume in 2022. Increased fuel and IT costs are also a factor. The budget also accounts for a 3% increase in Spring Lake Park Blaine Mounds View (SBM) administrative costs.
Antonen said Circle Pines’ share of the budget will increase by $14,518 and Centerville’s portion will go up by“Overall,$23,093. I think it is a pretty fair budget,” Percy said.

The City Council has approved a preliminary plat, conditional use permit (CUP), site improvement performance agreement and a parking deferment agreement for the development, known as Belland Farms 2nd Addition. The property owner, Rehbein Properties, applied for a preliminary plat for a 1.57-acre commercial lot for the purpose of constructing a 12,027-square-foot commercial day care facility in the northwest quadrant of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and 24th Avenue, next to the new eye clinic, Associated Eye Care. (24th Avenue/Elmcrest Avenue is the municipal boundary between the city of Lino Lakes and the city of Hugo.) The deferred parking agreement simply states that if in the future the business ever needs more parking spaces, it will be required to construct those additional spaces when deemed necessary.

LINO LAKES — The City Council has tabled action items related to a proposed Kwik Trip located at the southwest quadrant of Lake Drive and Hodgson Road. Council Member Christopher Lyden requested the item be removed from the agenda because one of the other council members was absent at the last meeting. City Planner Katie Larsen explained that the city has 60 days to review land use applications but can extend the process by 60 days if necessary. Because the 60-day timeline was set to expire Sept. 9 before the last council meeting (Sept. 12), that window had already been extended. The council will consider a conditional use permit (CUP) for the motor fuel station, a CUP for the commercial car wash and a site improvement performance agreement at its next meeting, Sept. 26.

Before the pandemic, Huettl worked as a preschool teacher. At the same time, she was also going to school to become a school counselor.
“(Lynette) was getting really stressed at work and talking about her vision, and I’ve always wanted to do stuff like that too. I think it just really solidified that I just needed to just do something different,” Huettl explained. “My passion is helping others, and this is another way that I can do that.”
The owners also plan to give back to the community by hosting workshops on a variety of topics, including mental health, drug abuse, suicide prevention and more. Huettl is particularly passionate about those topics because she lost her 19-year-old son five years ago to an overdose of fentanyl.“There’s a big sense of wanting to help people in our community,” Engelbretson said.

In addition to furniture, customers will also find one-of-a-kind crafts, signs, centerpieces, photography and more. The boutique also offers clothing for adults and children, and natural products such as candles and soaps.
New boutique encourages customers to ‘be a ray of sunshine every day’
A main focus for the boutique is furniture customization. “It has been constant; we have anywhere from four to six projects going at a time, that’s a big part of who we are,” Huettl said. “If somebody wants a piece of furniture, these days because of supply issues, it’s not only expensive but by the time they actually get it they might not even want it or they have changed their mind because they don’t have it …”
Both Engelbretson and Huettl said they have always been crafty and had the dream of one day opening up their own business. However, their paths took them on different journeys for a while. Engelbretson worked at a corporate job in the printing industry for almost 30 years.
Even though the small boutique has only been open for a few short months, the owners are already dreaming big. They are hoping they will be able to expand into the space next door sometime soon.
The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce plans to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27. For more information about the boutique, visit www.arayofsunshineboutique.com.
“It just became more and more apparent that I was becoming more of a number as the company grew. I wasn’t happy and it was very stressful,” Engelbretson recalled. “One day my boss just said the ‘right’ thing and I was done.”

She said that Bisila, who she described as a very kind man, has always been very knowledgeable. “He tries to impart his knowledge on other people,” she said. “He kind of has the same principles that I have in terms of keeping your garden clean and using as organic of stuff as you can. He is just a good, good person.”
Don Bisila and his wife Edith take a family photo on Don’s bench.
Throughout the many years of volunteer service to the program, Bisila says he has enjoyed the opportunity to plant his own garden and also help people with their gardens. He never considered the gardening to be work but, rather, found the administrative side of things to be so.
Bisila will be missed, but Jeff Ganske has stepped up to serve as the new chair of the program.
Lucia Hudy moved to Circle Pines in 1982. She wanted to garden but could never grow much in her yard because of all of the tree shade in her yard. She had to wait a couple of years before a spot opened up for her in the community garden. She started off with one plot and now shares three plots with her neighbor.
“I’m not one to sit around, watch TV and do nothing, I like to be outside,” he explained.
The city of Circle Pines has two community garden spaces; the garden by City Hall has 33 plots and the garden in Baldwin Park has 20 plots.

At the age of 86, Bisila said it was time to step down as chair and let another gardener and resident step up to fill the role. “I’m not as limber as I used to be,” he said, adding that arthritis in his shoulders has made it increasingly more difficult to keep up with the physical demands of gardening.

Van Zee scored in the second overtime session, assisted by Frost, against the Elks (5-2-1), in a Northwest Suburban Conference match.
Centennial defeated Totino-Grace 6-1 on Tuesday and lost to Andover 4-3 on Thursday. The Cougars are 4-5 overall, 2-4 in the Northwest Suburban. Against Totino-Grace, the Cougars swept singles with Lauren Klein, Katrina DeBoer, Anya Sugden and Emma Thompson. In doubles, Anna Jarpy/Ella O’Hearn and Elie Fenstemacher/Anna Peterson won. Noel Pomerleau/Avery Cantrell lost a close 3-setter at No. 3. Winning against Andover were DeBoer, Sudgen, and Addison Slotsve/Isabella Yang at 3-doubles.

Eli Nowacki, Centennial’s reliable kicker for three years, booted a 40-yard field goal for the only points of the game in a 3-0 win over Totino-Grace on Friday. He was 1-for-2 on field goals last year, but, after strengthening his leg and getting a kicking coach, has made 4-for-4 this year, the others from 22, 30, and 22 yards. “It’s great to have a kid like that. He is a huge weapon for us,” coach Mike Diggins acknowledged. “We are fully confident in kicking field goals now.” Nowacki, 6-foot and 195 pounds, is 46-for-50 on XP’s in his career, with just one miss that wasn’t blocked. His kickoffs usually reach the end zone, and he averages 36.3 yards per punt. His other sport is club volleyball.
“It was like a game in the sixties,” said Diggins. Except that in the 60’s, nobody could kick a 40-yard field goal.

The Centennial girls celebrated as time expired in overtime.
Centennial snapped a four-match losing streak with a 3-0 victory over Elk River at home Thursday evening. The Cougars did not give up a single shot on goal. Noah Marquard tallied two goals and Dominic Trejo-Monson had the other. The Cougars are 2-4 in conference and 3-4 overall. The Elks are 0-7. The Cougars lost to Armstrong 4-1 at home Tuesday. Cal Babiash had the goal.
“Our defense played great,” Diggins said. Marcus Whiting, junior defensive end, made three quarterback sacks. Melvin Wallace, another junior lineman, gave T-G backs problems with his quickness off the snap. Will Quick and Lance Nielsen (playing with the flu) each intercepted a pass. That was Quick’s third of the season.
Cougar kickers beat Elks, lose to Armstrong
Centennial picked up a pair of 3-0 wins last week, improving to 9-1 overall and 1-1 in the conference. The Cougars beat Irondale, which had a 7-1 record coming in, 25-12, 25-17, 26-14 at home Tuesday. Cassi Sosinski and Elena Hoecke had eight kills each. Riley Diebes made 19 assists. Ash McClellan notched four of the Cougars’ 10 ace serves. Sosinski made 11 digs and Ingrid Noha 10. The Cougars topped Coon Rapids 25-15, 25-12, 25-13 on Thursday. Hoecke made eight kills and Noha and Sosinski six each. The Cougars aced 14 serves, led by Hoecke and Annie Richtsmeier with three each. McClellan provided 15 assists. Mattie Petersen had a strong 3.5 pass rating.

Cougar girls hand No.1 Stillwater first loss, 3-2 in OT
The Centennial girls placed second of eight teams, and the boys placed third of 11 teams, in the Blaine Invitational on Friday at Northdale Middle School. The Cougar girls were a close second to Forest Lake. They had Kylie Nelson in fourth place (19:51), Abby Wood fifth (20:01), Julia Zalewski 12th (20:16), Abby Smith 14th (20:21) and Anna Swanson 20th (21:14). For the Cougar boys, the top five were Eli Berg in sixth place (17:01), Charlie Bolkcom in 14th (17:27), Alex Perseng in 17th (17:33), Matt Washburn in 20th (17:36) and Evan Pouliot in 33rd (18:02). They finished behind Blaine and Duluth East.
The Cougars edged Totino-Grace (T-G), thanks to “the big leg” of Eli Nowacki and an “awesome” defensive effort, in coach Mike Diggins words, in Fridley.“Weare
hurting right now. We were down six guys. This next week will be like a tryout week. But a win is a win, too,” Diggins said. The longtime coach said this game had the fewest total yards of any he’d ever seen.

Deer season outlook is good, safety a top priority
“No deer in the world is worth serious injury that ranges from a twisted ankle to death,” Davis said. “Any time you get above the ground, you should wear a harness. The modern full-body harnesses are very good; they prevent a lot of injuries. Think what would happen if you fell and broke your pelvis or something else and couldn’t work…or worse.”
Hundreds of thousands of Minnesota deer hunters will take to the woods this fall. For those climbing into stands, safety should be priority #1.
Fortunately, according to data provided by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, treestand falls requiring emergency room care have been on a downward trend. There has been an estimated 70% reduction between 2010 and 2021.
who want to learn to hunt these forest birds, at the Minnesota DNR’s grouse hunting
When it comes to implementing safety gear, he offered one last piece of advice. “Practice with it ahead of time. Don’t be trying it on for the first time an hour before sunrise on opening day.”
“You just get in the habit and it becomes second nature. It takes only a little thinking and a little doing,” he said.
As in 2021, DPA 701 will have a 5-deer limit and DPA 236 will have a 3-deer limit in 2022. Hunters who are or may be hunting on private land or within city limits are responsible for knowing boundaries and laws pertaining to their location.
Planning and Zoning Chair resigns
Davis also suggested that non-hunters buy a harness for those they know who need one.
According to data available from the Minnesota DNR, 2021 license sales across the state were strong (586,963), down slightly from 2020, which had been the highest since 2011. Deer harvest was also reduced, by roughly 9,000 animals.
Minnesota’s deer hunting tradition is rich and strong, reaching back many generations and in general, hunters in 2022 can expect more opportunities to harvest deer.

In DPA 701, which encompasses the heart of the Twin Cities metro area, 2021 total deer harvest was 2,331. Archery hunters accounted for 1,495 (64%), and firearms hunters took 726 (31%). Muzzleloader, youth, and early antlerless seasons accounted for only 110 deer all together.

He likened body harnesses to seat belts, in that some people resist them, but they pose little imposition and offer lots of protection.

DPA 236 (an area less than a third of DPA 701), which includes the northern Stillwater area, Hugo, Centerville, and Forest Lake, saw overall harvest that was similar, at 1,943 deer. However, archery and firearms hunters took proportions of deer that were roughly inverse from those in DPA 701, around 32% and 57%, respectively.
Seasons summary
Overall deer harvest is expected to be strong across the state in 2022. Firearms season begins Nov. 5, youth and early antlerless hunts will take place Oct. 20-23. Archery season has already begun. Available tags will be stable or increasing in number in the vast majority of deer permit areas (DPAs).Because of recent chronic wasting disease (CWD) finds, new CWD zones have been established. Over opening weekend, sample submissions will be mandatory in CWD management, control, and surveillance zones. Carcass movement restrictions will continue to be in place. As always, hunters are encouraged to consult the regulations booklet or the DNR website for the most updated information.
September is Tree Stand Safety Awareness month. Tree stand accidents are the leading cause of injury to hunters. Thousands fall from elevated stands each year, causing many to take trips to
Also fortunate is the fact that falls from tree stands are almost entirely preventable. According to the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation, 86% of fall victims were not wearing a body harness, and 99% were not secured to the tree or stand.JeffDavis is Communications Director for Whitetails Unlimited, a national nonprofit organization of over 110,000 members with a focus on deer hunting, resource conservation, and education. He knows that falls from tree stands offer the potential of serious injury, and that harnesses can nearly eliminate that risk.

“Excessive drinking can significantly affect individual health, but it also has a cost for families, communities and the health care system,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “The financial burden is staggering, and of course there are additional psychological and societal impacts and harms in addition to those measured here. It’s important that we acknowledge these impacts and find ways to mitigate them.”
