Lexington Lofts is coming to town BY CHRIS FRYE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Guns vs. Hoses BILL JACOBSON | SUBMITTED
LEXINGTON — Lexington Lofts is officially coming to town, after the City Council voted 4-1 in favor of the apartment complex at its Feb. 20 meeting. The current valuation of the city of Lexington is around $130 million; with the addition of the Lexington Lofts, which is valued at around $70 million, the city’s valuation will rise by more than 50% to a valuation of $200 million, a significant leap upward. Forest Lake developer Norhart is proposing to build a 355-unit luxury apartment complex that will consist of one four-story building and one five-story building located at the intersection of Restwood Road and Griggs Avenue, behind Northway Shopping Center. Before the vote was taken, the council had a robust discussion on the pros and cons of the project. Each council member had the opportunity to explain why they were in favor or opposed to the development. Councilman John Hughes continued, and remained to be, the lone opposing

Educating parents about too much screen time Too much screen time for children ages birth to 5 may affect a child's brain development, fine motor skills, development of patience and more, according to Centennial Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE). ECFE representatives want to bring up the topic now so parents are prepared and ready to have important conversations once their children become teenagers. “Through our work with parents in ECFE, we have found that they have a lot of questions about screen time and the impacts it has on young children,” ECFE Coordinator Sarah Holmboe explained. “We felt this was an important topic to cover at this age because the more parents know about
screen time now, the more informed they will be as they set boundaries and limits on screen time as their children grow up with devices. We want parents to feel empowered and confident as they make decisions as a family about their (children’s) screen time use.” ECFE hosted “Screen Time and the Developing Brain: Finding Balance for Children Birth-Five” Feb. 20 at Centennial Elementary. The main takeaway was that it is all about finding a balance; as with anything, moderation is key. Holmboe said while she was working with middle school children at a former job, she was approached by a guidance counselor, who said SEE SCREEN TIME, PAGE 10

With the rise in popularity of technology, there is more and more research to support that too much screen time can have negative impacts on child development.

Legislative breakfast: Centennial tries out new format BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR
The Centennial School District tried to switch things up a bit for its legislative breakfast this year. Instead of a Q&A format, where the legislators sit at the front of the room and respond to a question from a presenter, everyone sat in a large circle and had a candid conversation. Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) and Rep. Linda Runbeck (R-Circle Pines) attended the event Feb. 22 at the District Office along with school board members, district staff and city leadership. The district fi rst started holding the event about 17 years ago. “The circle is something that we created in our district this year. The purpose of this circle is so that we can connect with one another,” explained Superintendent Brian Dietz. “We want to connect through stories as opposed to the comments, data and questions. We want to talk about our stories. That is what really defines us in education, especially at Centennial. We want to connect with our community in the stories that we can tell about the successes that we have and the challenges we face in the district.” The new topic this year is the safety and security of both students and staff. Director of Technology Mike Christensen has worked in the district for 21 years and said safety and security has become more of a priority in recent years. “I got my start at Golden Lake

For the first time in the event’s history, the Centennial School District tried out a new format for the legislative breakfast Feb. 22 at the District Office.

Elementary School as a third grade teacher in a portable classroom back in 1998. I brought energy, passion and what I thought were incredibly engaging lessons to 8- and 9-yearolds,” Christensen recalled. “It didn't take too long for me to learn that that was not the number one priority for 8- and 9-year-olds. Their priority, although they couldn't fully articulate it, was that they needed to feel safe, secure and have that environment where they were cared for before student learning could happen.” As a parent of three himself, Christensen said he appreciates that the district's number one priority is safety and security. In addition

to the installation of 300 cameras throughout its buildings, the district has also implemented a card access management system and is currently enclosing the outdoor link, or hallway, that connects its split high school campus. “While we have been able to make those investments up front, like anything in technology, it is going to come due for refreshment. The life cycle for equipment, hardware, software: all of those things come with a very significant ongoing cost,” Christensen said. “Our question for our legislators is how can we partner with you and help drive home the message of school safety and the need for ongoing dollars to ensure that our staff and students are safe?”
Chamberlain said, “One of our legislative priorities is school safety in various packages and forms. So you don't need to convince us, it is already at the top of the chart. For school safety, we need to make sure everybody has got what they need, through whatever means that is, dollars, grants or levies ... It is already at the top of the list and we will be debating on how to do that and where the dollars go.” Runbeck said the topic is a big priority to not only her personally, but the Legislature as a whole. “This year, where there (are) extremely limited dollars compared to last year, but there may be an opportunity because it is a bonding year to think about some of the hardware costs.” In

Director of Technology Mike Christensen explains that safety and security is the district’s number one priority. Pictured next to him are Lexington Mayor Mike Murphy (left) and Rep. Linda Runbeck (R-Circle Pines).
addition, Runbeck said there are also soft costs in terms of counselors and mental health programs. Dietz explained when the district has to replace its cameras, that will likely run about $500,000. He said the district has also investigated the possibility of adding vaping detecting devices in its bathrooms, but each of those runs about $3,000 apiece. “It would be great if we could convert the one-time funding (from the November 2018 voter-approved levy) into an annual piece so that we really have some serious dollars that can maintain and improve the services that we have,” he said. Chamberlain said, “We need to fund the current priorities before we open up and expand new operations. If we want to support these things, then we can't afford to open up a whole new operation and try to support that and sustain it together. We are having a hard time doing that right now, and we need to focus on those core priorities.” Runbeck added, “I think that is a good goal. This year there
could be a one-time piece, but we could certainly work towards something permanent. I agree there (are) a lot of crazy numbers and line items, but Centennial is kind of an unique little animal because we don't get a lot of those other line item categories, so we don't fit into so many of those areas.” As in previous years, legislation for equalizing levy dollars and legislation for controlling the district's costs of providing special education services (cross-subsidy) were also topics of discussion. In a follow-up interview, Dietz said, “We have a great partnership with our legislators, and it’s important to have conversations with them regarding our needs as a school district. In addition to hosting this event annually when we introduce our issues and ask for guidance and assistance, we make visits to the Capitol to continue the work throughout the session.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Centerville Council okays changes for Bayview Villas BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
CENTERVIELLE —The City Council met Feb. 12 and approved a slight change in Bayview Villas’ conditional use permit (CUP). The change allows the homeowners association to build additional boat slips on Centerville Lake.
Currently four of the nine lots in the development have shoreline docks. However, four homes across the street on LaValle Drive have a deeded access to the lake via an outlot. The change in the CUP would allow the homeowners on the hill to share a four-boat slip on the outlot.
Real estate agent Don Skelly said potential buyers had questioned why there were nine lots and only four docks. He said the homeowners’ association would maintain the individual slips The council noted that that end of Centerville Lake is quite shallow, and the shared dock would
be long. Department of Natural Resources guidelines allow docks to go out as far as needed to get to navigable water. The council spent some time discussing two different configurations for the proposed dock, one rectangular, one square, and decided the rectangular configuration would
be most workable. The council voted unanimously to approve the change in the CUP, noting that it could be dangerous for homeowners to try to put a boat in at Peltier
Ross Allen named Bethel's 6th president-elect BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR
The next president of Bethel University is a White Bear Lake resident and a Bethel graduate. The Bethel University Board of Trustees announced last week that Ross Allen, 59, is the Christian college's sixth president-elect. A 1984 Bethel grad, he will also be the first Bethel alumnus to serve as its president. “My time at Bethel profoundly shaped who I am and how I live,” Allen said. “It’s the place where my faith became my own, where I started my family, and where I realized I could glorify God through a career in the marketplace.” Allen comes to Bethel from Azusa Pacific University, a private Christian college in California where he served as chief financial officer and vice president of business and finance. Prior to that, he spent 25 years at Medtronic and founded a consulting company in White Bear Lake. July 1 marks the official start of Allen's tenure. He replaces Jay Barnes, who announced his retirement last year. In a video posted with last week's announcement, Allen praised Bethel's past leadership and said the opportunity to serve the school as president was “humbling.” “The leader of any organization I know makes a significant impact, and God uses that person uniquely,” he said. “It's exciting to think of what we all can do here at Bethel in such a critical time as this. To step into the shoes of those that have come before … I'm excited about that, and yet humbled and honored.”
Lake, across Hwy. 14. In another discussion, the council decided to try holding council work sessions at 5 p.m. before regular city council meetings at 7 p.m.
LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Feb. 24 meeting: • Approved the consent agenda, which included an exempt raffle event for Lino Lakes Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) to host the school carnival April 4. Under the state gambling statutes, nonprofit organizations are allowed to conduct exempt gambling (raffles) with a stateissued permit if they conduct lawful gambling on five or fewer days annually and remain under a cap for prizes awarded. • Approved a contract for $75,000 with Northland Recreation Inc. for the design and supply of playground equipment, concrete for in-ground footings, wear mats and a certified playground installer for Woods Edge Park. Woods Edge Park is a new neighborhood park located adjacent to the YMCA on regional park property. • Approved a lease agreement with Sprint Spectrum LP for Water Tower No. 2, located at 7001 Otter Lake Road. The existing lease agreement to operate telecommunications equipment on the water tower has expired. The term of the agreement is five years. The agreement will be automatically renewed for three additional five-year terms unless the tenant provides the owner with notice of its intention not to renew prior to the expiration of the initial term or any additional term. The monthly fee will increase from $2,527 to $2,900. The rent payment will increase by 4% on each anniversary (July 26) of the agreement. The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 9, at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

Engaged youth
oung Writers It’s outstanding to see young community members engage through the written and printed word in our local newspaper. The last few weeks we have seen more letters to the editor from youth writers than I have seen in my time with Press Publications. Local school-age kids to young adults have written letters with regard to local environmental concerns. This is impressive when the focus of many youth is online and we are living in what some would call a virtual world. After we reviewed these letters we reached out to confirm that Publisher’s the kids had their parents permission. I encourage students around our View community to keep learning, ask and stay involved with Carter Johnson questions helping others locally. Get it right Here at Press Publications we love letters to the editor. We love the dialogue and the debate over questions that effect us locally. With any forum, we face challenges over who we should allow to write and how often, and what topics are fair game. With politics today being so polarizing, one might think an open forum would be dead. It is alive and well and we appreciate the respect most of our writers have to keep our sense of community. We have created guidelines to help, but we don’t always get it right. Just a few years ago I was duped with letters to the editor in the Quad Community Press during an election campaign. I had personally approved and published the same letter submitted by two different people. With what we have now learned are “LT campaigns” - where politicians pay people to submit letters to the editor - this year we responded with a nominal fee for political endorsement letters. We still publish 99% of all letters that meet our guidelines for free. Letters can help challenge a community through thought and discussion, provide accountability and ultimately make it a better place to live. We recently published a letter in the White Bear Press that pushed our guidelines and could be considered bullying of another letter writer. We work hard to get everything done right and the challenge is sometimes we make mistakes, such as letters not being screened as well as they should be. When we make mistakes, I think we need to own up to them. I personally apologize for publishing this type of letter. I ask our readers to continue to use our opinion page as a forum, but be civil, civic minded and maybe ask yourself when you write, whether you would be embarrassed if your mother read it. Youth at disadvantage Today our youth are at a disadvantage with first time jobs, as there just aren’t many opportunities for kids. Employers often don’t want to hire someone with little to no experience, and they worry about reliability. Here at Press Publications we offer youth the opportunity to be contract carriers. This week we answered three voicemails from elementary school students wanting to be youth newspaper carriers. Having a paper route is an opportunity for kids to run their own business delivering the paper. Often times it's less than a hour a week, youth can learn responsibility, time management and customer service. They also gain real work experience at an early age. A paper route can be a stepping stone to the next opportunity. Throughout our country, youth job opportunities are few and far between and I believe this generation is getting a bad rap that they don’t want to work. I am encouraged based on the recent inquiries I’ve received. This great nation was built on hard work and careful spending. So let’s start making it easier to get our youth into the workplace so we can continue to build our nation and economy. It’s up to the law makers to remove the barriers and reward those business who are willing to work with our young people. If any of our young readers are interested in a paper route, please call our circulation department at 651-407-1234 and leave your name, phone number and address so we can find an area that you might be able to own your first newspaper delivery business. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

All aboard for summer fun
t’s March in the land of 10,000 lakes and the anticipation of thawing waters are on the minds of most Minnesotans. That’s because it means we can soon enjoy those open waters with the plethora of activities it provides. There are two areas of concern when it comes to water recreation: 1. Safety while operating powered vessels 2. Preservation of our natural resources
Here are five rules of etiquette regarding boating: 1. Read the rules. Your owner’s manual will include navigation rules, right of way priorities, how to operate your vessel and the importance of avoiding alcohol and drugs while boating. It is the responsibility of the operator to know and adhere to local laws. 2. Restrict the noise. Loud music not only aggravates homeowners living along the lake, but it poses a safety risk if you have a skier in tow to what the spotter might be trying Movers & as to tell the driver. It’s considerate that you also reduce noise levels in the Shakers early mornings and evenings. 3. Respect the distance. Never Julie Frantz drive directly behind a skier or surfer or try to ride their wake if operating a personal watercraft. The risk is great that you could harm them if they fall. Keep at least 150-200 feet from objects such as docks, shorelines, and marinas. 4. Reduce your speed- slow down to posted limits in a “no wake” zone, when passing a small fishing boat, or pulling into a dock or marina. 5. Raise the bar – As the captain of your ship, it’s your responsibility to insure the safety of each individual on your powered vessel. You are required to carry one wearable flotation device for each passenger on board and one throwable
device. Most importantly, don’t drive in such a way that you lose a person overboard. Drive for the comfort of the passenger. As for passengers, remove your shoes as you board the boat, offer to bring drinks, snacks and offer to help pay for gas and stay for the clean up after the trip. Here are five rules of etiquette regarding preservation of our natural resources: 1. Do not “heave ho” your trash overboard. We’ve all seen pictures of aquatic life destroyed because careless individuals released recyclables and other non-organic trash into the water. Have a container on board to store all trash and place in a proper bin at the end of your trip. 2. Do not use the lake as a “loo.” Use a porta-potty and empty it at a dump station or find a public restroom located at most boat launches. 3. Do not use phosphate-based soap in the water. There are biodegradable or phosphate free soaps available that will help protect the environment. 4. Do not perform heavy cleaning or maintenance on your boat when it’s in the water, but instead move it on land to prevent toxic chemicals from entering the water. 5. Do not overfill your gas tank or change oil without precautions in catching petroleum products that would contaminate the water. Obeying the rules of etiquette not only helps you stay safe while operating your favorite water craft, but it will help preserve our environment so we can all enjoy water recreation for generations to come.

It is time to get outside
M
any of us in the northern environment have been out and about all winter and in fact, some of us live for deep cold and snow but now, for everyone, it's time to get outside. As the cabin fever wears off, we may not remember exactly how to comport ourselves around others, so it might be well to remember a few things. The first thing to remember is simple: greet people. We have all been cooped up for months, and we are tired of talking to family, our pets and our TVs. So if you're walking or riding on a sidewalk, a MUP (multi-use path) or on the side of the road, make it a point to stop and chat, or even just smile Pastor and wave, if you are in a hurry Ponderings or, like me, you're an introvert. And speaking of being in a hurSteve Sylvester ry, try not to be. This is a difficult one for many of us, because we are constantly trying to shoehorn things into increasingly busy lives. Many of the best things in life, however, are done at a measured human pace. I think of what John Muir said about the art of sauntering. Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It's a beautiful word. Way back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people
in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, “A la sainte terre”, “To the Holy Land.” And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. As for the Holy Land, it is. Holy, I mean. The land is holy, all of it. So when you are out knocking about, whether you have mastered the art of sauntering or you are going at breakneck speed, look around. Look up at the trees and the sky. Feel the breeze on your face, the ground under your feet. Listen for birds. Count the different shades of brown you see in exposed earth and vegetation (and remember that you will soon be counting green hues). Take in as much as you can. Let opening yourself up to the holy land be like eating a good meal, where you marvel at the taste of each wonderful bite. This is a strange column for a pastor, you may be saying to yourself at this point. I would disagree of course. Faith, religion, spirituality, whatever you call it is about immersing oneself in life. It is about our relationships with other people. It's about our relationship with the rest of the world. So now that the calendar is turning, it really is time to get outside. Enjoy it. Revel in it. Drink it down. Steve Sylvester is the lead pastor at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Circle Pines.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
P&ZB deliberations The reporting in a recent article covering the proposed Nadeau Acres development, discussed at the Feb. 12 Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board (P&ZB) meeting, missed some key points. Not reported in the article was the considerable time spent by the P&ZB and city staff to listen to nearby residents and carefully consider the concerns that were raised, particularly those regarding existing stormwater drainage issues and possible future impacts to stormwater runoff. The P&ZB then voted, but not “despite concerns” as stated in the article. The vote was taken only after board members carefully considered all of the concerns along with the assessments provided by city staff. This included an in-depth engineering analysis from the city engineer and other inputs from the city planner. The nature of future development of all types within the city is described in the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan. The Nadeau Acres
property is appropriately guided to become a neighborhood of single-family homes, much like most of the residential neighborhoods in our city. We on the P&ZB can certainly empathize with our neighbors who live at the edges of undeveloped land and prize the open views and relative solitude. However, the rights of adjacent landowners to use their properties as allowed by the Comprehensive Plan and city ordinances also must be respected. The P&ZB is comprised of fellow Lino Lakes residents. We have the same hopes and concerns as the rest of our community and strive to preserve the great way of life we have in our city. In addition to stormwater runoff and traffic issues, important community amenities — parks and trails for example — are always central to the P&ZB deliberations. Not just for the present, but by taking into account how developments will play out in the future. Michael Root Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board

Cougar girls roll into section finals, face Park Center BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
CATHEY SCHORZMANN | SUBMITTED
Grace Johnson (right) blocks the path of Osseo’s Aalayah Wilson in a mid-court trap, with Camille Cummings (23) coming up to double-team her.
Two months ago, the Centennial Cougars pulled out a last-second win over Park Center. The longtime conference rivals knew they’d probably duel again with a state tournament trip on the line. The defending Section 5AAAA champion Cougars got back to the fi nals beating Osseo 80-51 last Wednesday at home and Roseville Area 5034 on Saturday in Anoka. And the opponent is indeed No. 4 ranked Park Center (24-4). The Pirates and No. 13 Centennial (21-7) will tip off Thursday, 7 p.m., at Anoka High School. “Park Center is a very talented and athletic team,” Cougar coach Jamie Sobolik said. “They are able to apply great pressure on defense that makes it very difficult for teams to get in and run their offense. They are extremely quick and can get into passing lanes and disrupt an offense.” She added, “Offensively, they have great shooters that are able to feed off and support one of the best players in the state, Adalia McKenzie.” Centennial overcame a double-digit deficit to beat the Pirates 73-71 on Hannah
Herzig’s 3-pointer just before the buzzer at home Jan. 4. The Cougars were 13-2 after that win but have gone 8-5 since then while the Pirates have won 12 of 13. “We will need to take care of the ball and keep our turnovers to a minimum,” Sobolik said, “and be able to take quality shots and shoot a high percentage — and play our best defensive game of the season.” Against Osseo (8-19), Jodi Anderson netted 18 points, Jenna Guyer 14, Sydney Kubes 13 and Camille Cummings 12. Jaiden Kline scored 19 and Ava Holman 13 for Osseo. Against Roseville Area (199), the Cougars played stout defense and got scoring all around the dial. Cummings led with 13 points. Hannah Herzig notched eight points, while Grace Johnson, Kubes, Anderson and Guyer chipped in six points each. Hailey Herzig had the other five. Tamia Ugass tallied 14 for the Raiders. Centennial, which placed third at state last year, is seeking its eighth state trip in girls basketball. Park Center has made four state appearances, all since 2014. The Pirates were Class 3A champions in 2014 and 2015, and qualified in Class 4A in 2016 and 2017.
Lino Lakes speed skater encouraged by world meet performances
Centennial boys basketball lost its regular-season finale to Totino-Grace 77-66 on Friday evening. The Cougars will take a 4-22 record into playoffs and finished 4-8 in the Northwest Suburban Conference. Jaxon Waldvogel tallied 23 points for the Cougars. Richard Hemric added 12 points and Evan Walsh 10. For Totino-Grace (18-8), freshman Taisan Chatman pumped in 30 points and Devin Burger 19. The Cougars will open Section 5AAAA at top-seeded Park Center on Wednesday, 7 p.m.

“I thought this was a really cool experience, and good insight as to who I will be competing with in the future and what times I need to hit to beat them,” Myers said. Myers and Birkeland are members of Midway Speed Skating Club in Roseville. Team USA’s two Minnesotans both did well. Birkeland placed eighth of 30 in the Mass Start event on Sunday. She was 15th in the 1500, 19th in the 1000, 21st in the 3000 and 40th in the 500. In the overall standings (points from all of the individual races) she was the top American girl and placed 11th overall.

NICK PEARSON/MIDWAY SPEEDSKATING CLUB | SUBMITTED
Greta Myers shows her speed skating form.
Teenage speed skaters Greta Myers of Lino Lakes and Giorgia Birkeland of White Bear Lake are members of Team USA that competed in two world meets in February. Myers, 15, a freshman at Concordia Academy, is the youngest member of the team that includes five males and five females. Birkeland is a senior a Mahtomedi High School. “Overall, I had a great time in Europe,” Myers said. “It was really interesting skating at multiple different tracks and making friends with skaters from all over the world. I am excited to compete again next season.” In the Junior World Cup at Minsk, Belarus, Feb. 15-16, Myers competed in the 500 and 1000 meters races and in Team Pursuit, mainly as a warmup for the next meet. In the International Skating Union (ISU) World Junior Championships in TomaszowMazowiecki, Poland, Feb. 20-22, Myers placed 29th of 52 in the 500
with a time of 41.694, 29th of 35 in the 300 (4:40.105), 35th of 48 in the 100 (1:24.256) and 35th of 43 in the 1500 (2:11.246). “I was for the most part happy about my results,” Myers stated, “but as an athlete, it is hard to be satisfied when you want to keep getting better.” Myers ranked 16th overall, but fourth in her age group, based on total times, with 14 of the top 15 skaters being 19 years old. Highlights, she said, were setting a personal-best at sea level in the 500 along with barely missing her personal bests in a couple other distances.

Oneka Shores Farm launches supper club, CSA to come
Picture a group of strangers all gathered around a large farm table, talking about food and farm life all while enjoying a five-course meal by candlelight. That’s exactly what happens every six weeks or so at Oneka Shores Farm, located at 7039 165th St. N in Hugo. “We get to share the farm with people. That is really important, because we really care about farming in a way that is regenerative, that takes care of our soil and is putting back as much as we are taking out. We don’t use any chemicals and we use animals in a smart way,” Elizabeth Bauer explained. “We want to share that with everyone that we possibly can that feels familial.” Steve and Elizabeth Bauer moved to the Hugo property in 2016. Before that, Elizabeth lived in St. Paul and Steve in Blaine. Elizabeth grew up on a farm and Steve grew up gardening and helping out on his grandfather’s farm. Steve’s love of plants and animals led him to pursue degrees in biology and chemistry, which ultimately led to a job in ecology that focused on soil health and biodiversity. Even though he now works in the technology industry, he is still able to get his farm fix at home. Elizabeth was a CPA for many years for a consulting firm that worked with small businesses. One of those businesses was a cooking school, where she said she took as many classes as she could. Elizabeth is currently the president of an international engineering firm, runs a business coaching company and teaches yoga at Aerial Athletics in Lino Lakes. “It was a match made in heaven. We knew right away that we wanted to find a farm,” Elizabeth said. “When we found this site, it was really perfect in that it

had the right amount of space, but it had never been a garden, a farm or had animals before, so we really got to set it up. We get to build the vision for what we want it to be. It was also really important for us to raise the kids in a place that they can play in the woods, be outside, get a little gritty. Hugo still has a lot of that rural, hometown feel to it, yet we still have amazing schools and there is a lot of people here, so it is the best of both worlds.” On the 11-acre hobby farm, the Bauers raise American guinea hogs and ducks and chickens (for eggs). The farm is also home to “guard” geese, rabbits, vegetables and a myriad of cats, dogs and children. “If it can be grown in Minnesota, we grow it,” Elizabeth said. Their open-concept home is equipped with a large kitchen that produces way more than Steve and Elizabeth and their four boys can eat. That’s where the supper club comes in. The event kicked off in January and was held again Feb. 22. The idea is that every six weeks or so, people are invited to the farm to enjoy a homecooked, farm-fresh, five-course meal. The menu changes each time. The winter events are limited to 10 seats, but summer events will be much bigger.
“Everyone sits at the same table, so you are talking to people you don’t know. During the meal, there will be some demonstrations, cooking instruction and they will learn about each course, what is in it and how it was prepared,” Elizabeth said. “I love talking to people about how simple it can be to make food that is delicious and really good for you.” The Bauers use as many ingredients as possible from the farm and butcher their own pigs. Currently, it costs $50/person for the supper club experience. People must register ahead of time online at onekashoresfarm.com/ book-online. The meal cost will likely go down over the summer months when more people are able to participate. A portion of the proceeds is donated to regenerative agriculture research. Ryan and Sarah Marrinan, of Lino Lakes, learned about the supper club on social media. “She emailed it to me and said we were going and my response was ‘okay,’” Ryan said. “Food is her hobby. She always enjoys trying new restaurants, trying new foods. She has actually gotten me over the years, into instead of eating for necessity, eating for enjoyment.”

Ryan added, “We don’t have a lot of these types of things here in the Hugo/Lino Lakes area. This is a cool date night option where we are still close to home. It is just another opportunity to meet people. The food was better than most restaurants that I have spent a lot of money to eat at.” The Marrinans hope to attend more events at Oneka Shores Farm this summer. The next supper club will be April 18. There will also be a brunch May 17 and another supper club June 13. This summer will be the inaugural year for Oneka Shores Farm’s CSA. From June to early fall, customers can sign up to get a box of fresh produce each week. The

LEXINGTON LOFTS: Project to raise city’s valuation by more than 50% FROM PAGE 1
voice. Hughes said he didn’t like the fact that the project doesn’t fit within the city’s current ordinances and he feared that the city might be setting a precedent for someone else down the road. “Somewhere along the line we have to say no,” Hughes said. “What happens when the next developer comes in and says. ‘I want six stories or seven stories?’” For Hughes’ fellow council members, the potential benefits of the project outweighed the concerns of approving a project that fell outside of the city’s current zoning ordinances.
Mayor Mike Murphy especially honed in on why he felt the city needed to approve the development. “We have to look at ways to improve our taxes for the city, especially after having to do a 3% increase next year. Who knows, next year it could be 5% or 7%,” he said. “We have rising costs on everything.” Murphy said he also saw the benefits of the project, noting that this project would be a long-term benefit for the community, helping build its tax base. He said it would bring in, “literally a whole budget year’s worth of dollars.” Toward the end of the meeting, City Administrator Bill Petracek noted, “Someone is going to develop that property. You may end up with something you don’t

According to a NBC Preschool teacher News report titled, Julie Aardahl said “What Screen Time she has observed does to a Child's Brain,” children's interactions Young brains need a lot with their peers of external stimuli to change over the years develop, particularly due to too much screen from birth to age 3 time. “I am noticing (known as the critical that children are not period).

“I am noticing that children are not sure about how to greet each other and their imaginations for dramatic play have been compromised ... Having too much screen time is taking away a child’s ability to be creative and also learn facial recognition, to understanding their own emotions and others.”
Impacts of too much screen time can include: • Lower levels of brain white matter. The presence of brain white matter is the key to the development of language, literacy and cognitive skills. • Interference with sleep. This can affect affecting mood and behavior. • Poor performance on developmental screening. • Overstimulation of the brain. • Lack of patience or “wait time” skills, gross motor skills and social skills. • Struggles with knowing how to play. Too much screen time can limit the extent of imaginative play. “Our preschoolers are having a really hard time waiting, that is a skill that we have seen decline over the years. Kids
So, what can parents do? • Enjoy screen time with their children • Set boundaries around device use • Model appropriate use • Help children practice self-regulation skills • Give kids time to have child-directed play and to be bored • Make sure kids are exposed to non-tech toys • Find ways to connect with interests offline • Think of screens as a tool when used appropriately • Don't make screens a big deal Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS Younger than 18 months • Use of screen media other than video-chatting should be discouraged 18-24 months • Choose high-quality programming/apps and use together with children Older than 2 years • No more than one hour per day of screen time • Co-view and co-play with your child

like back there, but you could end up with something even worse. It’s a prime location for low-income housing.” For a number of council members, knowing that they were getting a quality development was better than the specter of getting a development that might not be as good. The council can make exceptions to ordinances to allow a project they deem worth the exception by granting variances. It can’t, however, deny a project that fits under its current ordinances — even if it wanted to.

Last weeks weather note I talked about how nice our weekends have been with the work week experiencing much colder temperatures. Once again our weekend weather was spectacular. Temperatures almost hit 50Âş on Sunday. Families were out enjoy a nice walk; bikers and runners were also enjoying the warmth. This week looks like we've turned a bit of corner in that our work week also was warm and dry. Looks like a trend that everyone can enjoy. Astro note: Venus is bright in the southwest sky at sunset.
