Centennial girl cagers 3-4 in last 7 games
Centennial girls basketball has lost four of its last seven games, including a 68-55 setback against Champlin Park on Friday. The Cougars are 18-6 after winning 14 of their fi rst 16. The Cougars beat Champlin Park 61-53 earlier in the season but the Rebels (8-14) got a decisive payback win as Miya Dubose hit 15 points, Maya Fitzpatrick 14, Gina Sefferud 13 and Amelia Valentino 11.
Jenna Guyer had 21 points and Jodi Anderson 17 (mostly at the free throw line) for the Cougars. On this night, they didn’t have much offense otherwise.
“We struggled to score — not sure if it was us having an off night, or their quick, physical defense,” Cougar coach Jamie Sobolik said. “Our decision-making was lacking and we struggled to stop them defensively.”
The Cougars clipped Coon Rapids 65-44 last Wednesday evening. Eleven players scored, led by Guyer with 16 and Anderson with 15. The Cougars fi nish conference play this week. They play at Anoka on Tuesday night and will host Maple Grove on Friday.

Veteran holds patriotism dear to her heart BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR Quad area resident Brandy Fulton wanted to join the military after graduating from high school because she thought it would be a great opportunity to pursue her education and travel. Her 20-year military career shaped her as a person and inspired her to continue serving. “I am very patriotic and I have a lot of love for our country, our fl ag, the people who served,” she said. “I get teared up any time “The Star Spangled Banner” gets played. It is a good remembrance of all the people who died for our country and what it stands for, and I really hold that dear.” Brandy, 59, is originally from Pennsylvania, but lived in Circle Pines for 12 years before she moved to Lino Lakes in 2001. After a female recruiter from the Air Force visited her school, she knew that was the branch she wanted to be in. Brandy joined the Air Force on Dec. 7, 1979, and was on active duty for eight years.

The percentage of 11th graders who said they seriously considered suicide in the past year increased from 9.7% in 2013 to 12% in 2016 and 13.3% in 2019. Allina Health is trying to make an impact on those numbers, compiled from the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) administered by the Minnesota Department of Education every three years. “We want to raise awareness of this resource that has been created and is free for use to our community,” said Kaitlin Codner, nurse educator with Allina Health. “We want to help build resiliency and coping skills and help them start thinking of ways to have those conversations with teens.” Allina Health recently hosted two Change to Chill training sessions for the north metro, one on Oct. 25 at White Bear Lake City Hall and another on Oct. 28 at the Centennial Library. Change to Chill, which was launched in 2014, is a free online mental well-being program that aims to help identify what stress is, what causes it and, most importantly, how to manage it. The website includes resources, lessons and activities that are tailored to teens and educators/ parents. Techniques include mindfulness, life balance, mindful movement and guided imagery. Over the past two years, Allina Health has offered nearly 100 training sessions across its service area. “We see a lot of variety in attendance ... teachers, community leaders, directors for youth programs, YMCAS, nonprofi ts, volunteer services staff, counselors and even grandparents,” Codner explained. Centennial Library Branch Manager Mary Healy was one of the 15 registered for the session in the Quad area. “We work with all different age groups here at the library, teens being one of them.

CHRIS FRYE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LEXINGTON — The City Council is set to vote Feb. 20 on a $60-70 million project, which could be the largest undertaking in the city’s history. The council conducted the fi rst reading of the Lexington Loft Apartments (LLA) ordinance approving a planned unit development before a larger than normal crowd at its meeting Feb. 6. Several citizens chose to speak during the citizens forum, expressing concerns regarding parking, congestion and the overall impact of such a large project on a community as small as Lexington. One individual respectfully expressed her disappointment that the council appeared to disregarded the feelings of what the people wanted and that this project was made to pass by changing the rules. After the public spoke, the council attempted to address residents’ concerns as well as explain their individual thoughts on the project. The biggest area of concern for the councilors was to dispel the notion that the council was disregarding what people wanted or that the rules were changed to make this project move forward.
City Attorney Kurt Glaser was asked to explain why the council changed the city’s code that required ordinance changes go from a 3/5 voting majority to a simple majority. Glaser stated that when this project came forward, it brought to the council’s attention that the city’s code that previously required a 3/5 voting majority was not consistent with state code and was in fact more stringent than the simple majority that the state’s code required. In previous meetings it was made known that the state had made this change years ago, however, Lexington had not made the change to its code to stay consistent with state law.
Mayor Mike Murphy also stated that he realized that the timing didn't look good, however, “We need to be consistent” - a sentiment shared by his fellow councilors who, while not all in agreement on the LLA project, were in agreement about the code change that was voted on and passed 4-0 (there being only four councilors at the time.) In the lengthy deliberations, each councilor individually took time to express his or her reasons for, or in councilor John Hughes' case, against the project. Reasons for the project ranged from believing the project looked beautiful and that it was a luxury building; the city will get a brand new park; don’t want a low income project; it’s a great addition and that the council can’t just think of the people who have lived here forever but that they have to think 40 years down the line.
Murphy said, “I’ve been really struggling about whether or not to approve this project. Nobody has reached out to me via email or phone, besides seeing a few people on Facebook. Very few people come to the meetings."
Councilor Hughes stated that he is against having a fi ve-story building but more fervently stated that he is against allowing a project that doesn’t adhere to the city’s code. Hughes stated that this project, “is so far from the ordinances, why even have ordinances?”
If residents of Lexington wish to have their opinions known about the project, they will need to communicate those to council in some form or fashion before the project is voted on at the next council meeting Feb. 20.
ST. CLAIR ESTATES: Council heeds legal advice, refuses to release letter of credit
that works great for development and not so good with people. So, I'd like to fi nd someone else, if possible, to work through these things, address them and hopefully close out the project.”
Jensen added, “I believe it's a beautiful project, it's a credit to the city. It cost $3 million to put in ... We got 98% of it done before any of this came up, which is really inconvenient. The current direction seems to be, wait many months and then we will decide what to do then, and that really doesn't work. So, if we could do something, if I could meet with someone so we could make a plan, I would certainly appreciate that.”
Ultimately, Jensen's request was to ask the city to release his letter of credit. When a developer embarks on a development project under a development agreement, the city typically requires certain fi nancial security to ensure the project complies with the development requirements. That security is usually in the form of a letter of credit issued by a bank to ensure that the improvements the developer promised to complete are done correctly. If the work is not done properly or is not completed, the city is entitled to draw funds from the bank up to the amount of the letter of credit and use the money to correct or complete the project.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS
Lino Lakes US Bank robbed Offi cers from the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department were dispatched to the US Bank located at 7984 Lake Drive at 9:17 a.m. Feb. 11 on a report of armed robbery. Offi cers from Lino Lakes Public Safety and several surrounding jurisdictions located the two adult male suspects in the 1200 block of Larpenteur Avenue in Roseville a short time later and they were taken into custody with the assistance of Roseville Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol, Centennial Lakes Police Department, Blaine Police Department and the Ramsey County Sheriff's Offi ce. The department says there are no other suspects. The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating.
Lino Lakes man charged with assault, threats at area business Dennis Louis Babcock Jr., 38, has been charged two felonies and one gross misdemeanor for an incident that occurred Feb. 7 in Lino Lakes. Babcock has been charged with making threats of violence, fourth-degree assault and third-degree criminal damage to property following the incident that took place at The Tavern on Main at 10:11 p.m. Feb. 7.
According to the criminal complaint, the Lino Lakes Police Department was dispatched to the business after the bartender refused to serve Babcock and he became irate, threatening staff and patrons. Babcock reportedly resisted arrest; while taking him into custody, one offi cer was injured and a squad car door sustained damage.
Babcock's next court appearance will be March 12. Jensen is no stranger to city staff or the council. He spoke during open mike back in November 2018 to request the return of his remaining escrow with the city. At that meeting, Grochala explained the city would not release the escrow until a list of outstanding items was completed, including the installation of streetlights; correcting erosion control problems; making repairs to sidewalks, curbs, catch basins; and more. After some heated back-and-forth between then-Mayor Jeff Reinert, the council, city staff and Jensen, Jensen stormed out of the council chambers.
At the Feb. 10 meeting, Mayor Rob Rafferty stated that the council and Jensen received a letter from the city attorney detailing “the direction they have to go.” Jensen responded, “I received a letter from him too, and it said ‘Don't talk to anybody,’ which to me just says let this fester for longer and I told him that I was not willing to do that, that I thought that we should address it right now because there is nothing legally going on. We are not in court or anything like that, nobody is suing anybody, so we really don't need legal counsel on this ... I hope that you're not saying ‘Just forget it, we will wait several months and then maybe we will look at it again.’”
In a follow-up interview, City Attorney Jay Squires said the letter Rafferty was referring to was an email he sent to Mr. Jensen and the council. “I told Mr. Jensen there would be a settling of whatever is left on the balance of the letter of credit after the city completed correcting the work either he didn't do correctly or completing work that he didn't do at all in the development,” he said.
Squires added, “The city has the right to access the letter of credit and effect completion of that work of itself, which is what happened in this case.”
Rafferty repeatedly told Jensen that the council and city staff need to follow the advice of their legal

counsel. Jensen said he has spoken with community development directors of other towns about the matter, who all say he should sue the city.
“That's the worst of all worlds. Is there something we can do before that? Before we go to a lawsuit, can I talk with somebody about it? If you want to wait, that's fi ne, but what do you want to wait for?” Jensen asked.
Grochala explained that the council took action in October 2019 to draw on St. Clair Estates’ development letter of credit to correct or complete required improvements, some of which included open space plantings and restoration, driveway repair and repair and landscaping of the fi ltration basin in the Enid Street Island.
“We are waiting for the construction season to start up ... we will complete those improvements. Once those improvements are done and the contractors are paid, the (remaining) dollars will be released to Mr. Jensen or Mr. Jensen's bank, depending on where it's intended to go,” Grochala said.
Jensen said, “Okay, and you realize that I will sue the city if you do any of those?”
Rafferty said, “I have nothing to add. We have been given direction by our legal counsel, and that is the direction we have to go.”
Jensen responded, “He can give you advice, you don't have to take it.”
Rafferty reiterated that the council and staff are going to take their attorney's advice.
