CIRCLE PINES — For students in the Centennial Students for Change club, Black History Month is more than looking back at great achievements in history: it’s recognizing that great achievements can also be made between homework, choir practice and extracurriculars.

This group of students has gone above and beyond to promote equity, community outreach and mental wellness within the Centennial School District. The club

was organized by students in 2020 around the time the murder of George Floyd spurred thousands of Americans into social action.

This year, more than 100 students have signed up for the club, and nearly 30 meet regularly to discuss and plan projects and events. In addition to organizing fun activities throughout the year, the group also strives to make a meaningful difference in the school and in the community.

For club officer and senior Galjer Yangwaue, one project was very clear. In 2022, she became

There are a lot of ways to express the love in the community this Valentine’s Day. Here are a few ways to celebrate with the ones you care most about in the time leading up to Feb. 14.

Something Bright: Moonflower Design Studio, Lino Lakes There’s nothing like fresh flowers in the depths of Minnesota winter, and local florist studio Moonflower Design has many ways to express the love this winter.

Award-winning florist Michelle Aldentaler operates Moonflower Design Studio out of her home in Lino Lakes. Her unique take on floral design includes personalized elements that are customized to fit the character of the recipient.

For Valentine’s Day, she is working on custom wooden boxes with four roses, as well as arrangements that include orchids and chocolate-covered strawberries. She frequently partners with Something Sweet by Maddie Lu, a confectionary business in Coon Rapids, to create unique offerings that delight the tastebuds as well as the eyes. The arrangements can be ordered via GrubHub, and they will be making deliveries all throughout the day on Valentine’s Day. She will also be offering “old school” arrangements of Valentine’s Day corsages and pinups, available by request.

Learn more about the studio at https://www.moonflowerdesignstudio.com.

Something Sweet: Kingdom Baking, Blaine Everyone wants a taste of something nice during the Valentine’s Day holidays. Boxes of chocolate are a given, but fresh-baked pastries and homemade desserts offer another way to appreciate the ones you love.

Blaine resident honored for selfless act

ANOKA COUNTY | CONTRIBUTED

Blaine resident Tracy Peck shares a few words as she accepts recognition for her generous action from the Anoka County Board of Commissioners.

ANOKA — With $100 and a pair of her earrings, Blaine resident Tracy Peck changed the future of two refugees she met on a plane in 1999.

The money was given to 12-year-old Ayda Zugay and 17-year-old Vanja Contino in an envelope that read: “To the girls from Yugoslavia: I am so sorry that the bombing of your country has caused your family problems. I hope your stay in America is a safe and happy one. Welcome to America. Please use this money to help you here.”

It was signed “A friend from the plane, Tracy.”

The two girls moved in with their brother in Iowa, but struggled to support themselves financially. The $100 Peck gave helped to feed the family for

nearly three months.

For more than 20 years, the girls tried to find a way to reconnect with Peck.

Through social media, they were able to do so in 2022. The three women gathered for a reunion in New York City, which was broadcast by CNN. Peck has been awarded a certificate of recognition by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners. The certificate reads: “In recognition of your selfless generosity towards a pair of young refugee travelers, the Anoka County Board of Commissioners commends you for your kindness, involvement in your community, and for the far-reaching impact of your actions.”

Peck thanked the county board and shared a few words.

bled,” she said. “Who would have ever thought 23 years ago when I was plunked down next to these young women on this airplane that it would have come to something like this. Not only has it allowed me to embrace these young women now as successful, beautiful human beings, and they will be in my life forever now. That’s given me a true gift.”

Peck also gave a few words of advice.

“Be kind to everyone. Be generous.

Give from your heart. Don’t think about the impact you’re having, but be kind and don’t judge people. We don’t know what people’s backgrounds are. We don’t know what they’re going through in life.”

Marmaduke is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who acts like a giant puppy. He loves all people, he loves to play and he has a lot of energy. A home with a fenced yard would be perfect for him to run and explore. Marmaduke is also social with other dogs, so a playmate or two would suit him well. He is housetrained and he knows his basic commands, but a formal training program would be a great activity for him and his new person or family.

Marmaduke is affectionate, eager to please and very smart. He weighs about 83 pounds but still thinks he’s a lap dog. He likes to play fetch, go for car rides and play with toys. He is undefeated against stuffed toys with squeakers. They don’t stand a chance once he gets ahold of them.

Marmaduke would be a great addition to any active family. If you are interested in learning more about Marmaduke or adopting him, please fill out an application at www.ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

OPINION

QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS

www.presspubs.com

FEBRUARY 7, 2023

Please reduce taxes

O

UR MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE is in session with a very large surplus of over $17 billion and is now working on ways to reduce it, or shall we say, finding ways to spend it.

The first concern in this 45th highest tax rate state is to reduce taxes. We have been overtaxed and that needs to be corrected.

I don’t think it makes sense to send out rebates based on income, but rather provide a rebate to those who have paid the taxes.

We need to also consider if we spend a lot of this surplus for programs, they need to be funded every year and that About the will keep taxes high. A more practical way is to retain a reasonable surplus, Town but reduce the basic tax.

Gene Johnson Recently we learned that the legislature needs more funding for the light rail construction. They want to have the metropolitan area sales tax brought to 8%.

There have been cost overruns on this project and someone has to be responsible for that. Maybe a portion of the surplus should go there.

I think currently in the Minnesota legislature, now dominated by the Democrats along with the governor, there is legislation to eliminate taxing Social Security income, which has been long overdue. That’s a good step.

People who have paid income taxes and are not eligible because of their income should not be penalized by not receiving a state tax rebate if that’s going to be done.

I know with inflation a lot of people find their incomes are less than expenses. It’s not easy budgeting.

What this process and plan looks like is an indirect way of paying for votes. There are things in Minnesota that need change, but a lot of politicians know how to figure this out. They want to be reelected, and what better way is there than to hand out money.

We need to reign in excessive spending and update our tax system.

This is a critical time and a good time to do it, but as citizens and taxpayers you will need to let your senator and representative know how you feel about this.

GASOLINE PRICES ARE creeping up again. That’s part of our inflation problem. I think it’s unfortunate that our government policies are pushing us prematurely to electric vehicles when we have so much oil and natural gas in our country.

It’s an expensive program to get charging stations set up along the highway systems, but even more costly for individuals when they live in apartments and condos.

Our automobiles have become more efficient with their engines and reducing weight, thus adding miles per gallon.

I think we should continue to research new energy concepts and phase them in gradually and voluntarily, and not use legislated deadlines like California. The American people aren’t stupid. When they see that it’s practical, they will consider hybrid electric cars and full electric vehicles that can get to 400 plus miles before recharging.

QUOTE FROM A. W. Tozer: “…in a fallen world such as this the very ability to change is a golden treasure, a gift from God of such fabulous worth as to call for constant thanksgiving.

For human beings, the whole possibility of redemption lies in their ability to change…In the working out of His redemptive processes the unchanging God makes full use of change and through a succession of changes arrives at permanence at last.

And all things as they change proclaiming The Lord eternally the same. - Charles Wesley” Gene Johnson is Publisher Emeritus at Press Publications.

Small-town feel in a growing city

f you live in or near Centerville, it’s easy to recognize the changes which are quickly occurring. Our small city is thriving and growing. For some, this new growth is exciting; it represents many years of planning and waiting.

The new growth represents an even greater opportunity to develop and provide amenities to those who proudly call Movers & Centerville home.

Many of us feel Shakers excited, while others may feel D. Love apprehensive, but Centerville has the tradition, character, and people to allow for growth while maintaining the feel of a small town. Centerville is a place where growth as well as warmth and safety are abounding. We are a city which strives to diversify its tax base while also making the single-family homeowner feel pride and ownership in their city.

Centerville is a place you can safely raise a family and run a successful business. Centerville fully embodies the motto of “Stronger Together.”

I’ve seen people investing in our community by getting involved.

Openings and opportunities remain available. While you are sharing your skills and abilities, you have the chance to grow by interacting and seeing other talented people in action. Members of our Parks and Recreation committee as well as our Centerville Lions Club work hard to organize events throughout the year to bring people together and attendance has been phenomenal. Events such as Fete de Lacs with a parade through town, Music in the Park, Movie in the Park, Skate Nights, Water Ski Shows, Main Street Market, Christmas in the Park and even the Annual Ice Fishing contest and others are events near and dear to Centerville.

Getting to know your neighbors is a key element of maintaining the small-town feel. I see Centerville residents frequently stopping to greet one another. It’s a regular occurrence to see neighbors pulling garbage cans up to homes of vacationing neighbors or calling to remind each other of open garage doors. I’ve seen citizens working to clear storm drains, shoveling out fire hydrants and digging out mailboxes to help one another. I’ve come across members of the community volunteering to pick-up trash or picking up random pieces blowing in the wind. It has been so fun to see neighborhood gatherings such as Night to Unite, Chili

cook-offs and Food Truck nights.

I’ve felt the warmth of neighbors celebrating good times together as well as supporting each other through difficult times.

We have a fantastic trail system, which invites families to go for walks and greet others along the way. We are able to enjoy each other’s gardens, trees, and landscaping. It’s fun to see kids riding bikes, sledding, building snowmen and playing in the parks. In the summertime, it’s hard to ignore the smell of grilling which fills the area. Seeing neighbors wave at each other with a warm smile as they drive by on the road is a common site, only found in small towns like ours.

As I think about small towns of the past, members of the community purchased their goods in the local shops and utilized local trades people to complete jobs they couldn’t do themselves. Families attended high school sporting events and had great pride in their local schools.

As I look at Centerville, I see a growing city while I also see neighbors and people with pride in their homes and their community.

The key element to maintaining the small-town feel is the people, it is you.

D. Love is the mayor of Centerville.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ANOKA COUNTY BRIEFS

Social Security Tax

Nature center will be open 5 days a week

During the recent elections, Heather Gustafson supported efforts to eliminate taxes on social security benefits for Minnesota. This is an important issue as many Minnesotans on social security live on fixed incomes and need every penny they receive. The tax is also patently unfair as people have already been taxed on that benefit when they had deductions taken out of payroll taxes. In two weeks after taking office, Senator Heather Gustafson broke a major campaign promise by voting against efforts to eliminate the tax on Social Security benefits.

Heather has lied once – a whopper of a lie! How many more times will she break her promise to voters of District 36 (and other Minnesotans)? I urge all voters in the District to contact Senator Gustafson and urge her to reconsider her vote and work with Republicans in the Minnesota Senate to repeal this unfair take on senior citizens. It is the right thing to do if she truly cares about families.

Wargo Nature Center may soon be open to the public one extra day a week, as the county considers increased administrative hours for Wargo employees. Previously, the center was open Tuesdays through Fridays; this change would allow the center to be open to the public on Mondays as well.

Aaron Frederickson Lino Lakes

Surplus funds will go toward new play equipment In addition to the new entrance road and accessibility improvements, Wargo Nature Center will soon receive some new playground equipment. Anoka County initially received a $931,569 grant in bond funds for the entrance road, but bids came in lower than expected and the project was completed $150,000 under budget. In 2021, the county requested a scope expansion to include work to address slope stabilization and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to the Nature Play Area. That project was quoted out and will be completed sometime in 2023. Quotes were again under budget, so the county has again requested another scope expansion to include the purchase and installation of nature play equipment and other outdoor play equipment for Wargo Nature Center.

in the Watermark development currently attend Centennial schools, and the measure was quickly passed by the Anoka County Board. Both school districts and the state Commissioner of Education will be notified of the change in district boundaries.

Improvements planned for County Road J A well-traveled corridor where County Road J meets I-35E is in need of improvements, which a partnership of local governments are seeking through the state of Minnesota’s Corridors of Commerce funding. For the past two years, Ramsey County has been working in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Anoka County, the city of Lino Lakes, the city of North Oaks and White Bear Township to develop a preferred layout, complete an environmental analysis and prepare final plans for the interchange improvement project.

The newly introduced Corridors of Commerce program has made approximately $100 million of funding available for eligible projects in the metro area. If secured, this funding would help to cover construction costs on projects classified as capacity improvement projects or freight improvement projects. The County Road J/I-35E project meets the criteria for this funding.

A required component is a resolution of support from each local unit of government in which the project is located. Anoka County has now added its support, in addition to the city of Lino Lakes, North Oaks and White Bear Township. As of Jan. 1, the project has secured $1.5 million from 2020 general obligation bond funds and $10 million from 2022 Met Council regional solicitation funds.

The solar co-op is a partnership between nonprofit group Solar United Neighbors (SUN), the city of Coon Rapids, Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light, the city of Minneapolis Sustainability Division and the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society. Co-op members recently selected Minnesota-based installer iSolar to serve members of the group through a competitive bidding process.

The co-op is free to join and open to homeowners and business owners in the larger Twin Cities metro area, including all of Anoka and Sherburne counties.

Solar United Neighbors expands access to solar by educating Minnesotans about the benefits of distributed solar energy, helping them organize group solarto instalMDAN ads run lations and strengthening Minnesota solar policies and its community of solar supporters.

STUDENTS LEAD: Centennial club strives to create change in the community FROM PAGE 1

Q: How do you plan to celebrate during Black History Month 2023? Is there anything you’re looking forward to?

A: How I plan to celebrate is basically keeping up the impacts we make as a group.

Keeping working on the Culture Fair, Naasifaayee Bula keeping up with spreading everything that we want people to know about Black history, telling people about all these Black icons. I’m working with Sharing and Caring Hands in Minneapolis, and I want to target minorities, mostly immigrant minorities, by helping Black voices and giving them resources. And keeping up with my cultural duties I try to do every week—I go to my cultural church and help out with leadership there. Just being more inclusive in my community here.

Q: What is one part of Black History or who is one person you wish more people knew about?

A: Chinua Achebe, the author of “Things Fall Apart.” It’s a really good book. It’s tough but enjoyable. There’s a lot of critique on missionary involveMichelle Li ment and how that has affected culture. He’s had a pivotal place in African literature, and it’s the most widely, studied, translated and read African novel. I want to learn more about him because he explores the concept of identity and how colonialism has affected that.

Q: What are some elements of Black History that are special in your life, and why?

A: What’s really great about Black History Month is that I think a lot of POC people can also be a part of the celebration. It’s really special because it’s a month for everybody to come together and unite Galjer Yangwaue with a similar understanding of experiences. Even though everybody has a different history and background, I think we can all relate with each other because we are all POCs in the United States. The special element in my life would just be community and celebrating Black History Month with everybody and my friends.

Q: What do you recommend community members do this year to enjoy and engage in Black History Month?

A: Some people lack the skills to engage with their neighbors.

They know Black History Month is appreciating individuals who Maya Ahmed identify as Black, but I feel as if those who live in a community that has diversity should step out of their doors and go and learn. It’s not that hard to go have a conversation with your neighbor. It’s small steps—just going and looking for the information. And if you have social media, take the time to educate others.

McClellan is Cougar girls Triple A pick

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

Ash McClellan, a volleyball standout with numerous artistic pursuits, is Centennial’s female nominee for the Triple A Award — a Minnesota State High School League program honoring seniors for arts, academics and athletics achievement.

“Outside of class, I spend my free time with various activities: painting, sketching, writing poetry, knitting, crocheting, and designing,” McClellan said. “I also taught myself how to play guitar, ukulele, and

NICOLE KUNZA | CONTRIBUTED the keyboard.”

McClellan was a peppy setter on Ash McClellan with one of her many hobbies, the Centennial volleyball team that the guitar. placed fifth in the state, capable of

dumping kills over the net herself along with setting up her teammates with aplomb.

She has sung in school choirs from seventh through 12th grade, including Honors Concert Choir the last two years. Scholastically, she has spent the last three semesters as a PSEO student (unweighted college classes). Her grade-point-average is 3.94 weighted and 3.92 unweighted.

While playing just one school sport, she also gets physical in water sports, mainly skiing, surfing and wakeboarding.

Next year, McClellan hopes to attend University of Washington to pursue Web Design or Computer Science.

Jaden Ruegsegger placed second at 132 pounds. Placing fifth were Sophia Nurkka at 235 and Alaina Franco at 145. Nora Akpan placed sixth at 138. Ade Flaschberger and Lucy Dropps were both in the seventh place match at 120 and didn’t wrestle each other. The Cougar coaching staff all work with the girls as well as the boys, although head coach Link Steffen cited Kathleen Jolly, new to the staff this year, for doing “an incredible job with our girls.” Jolly was not at Pine Island because she wrestles for Augustana and had a tournament. The Cougar girls will compete in the Section 3 and 4 tournament Saturday at Hastings.

The top two in each class advance to state.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

At 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, he plays what the coach calls “a very heavy game,” while displaying clear rink vision and good puck movement. Menne also plays baseball for the Cougars.
