CIRCLE PINES — For nearly 21 years, customers have poured into Matthew's Family Restaurant not only for the made-from-scratch food and restaurant originals, but also for the love given to customers by staff. Matt and Amy Salos own Matthew's, located at 2 South Pine Drive North. The Salos previously worked in other restaurants and actually met through the industry while working together. “We decided if we were going to be in this business and work this hard, we might as well be our own bosses. It just made sense. It was a natural evolution,” Amy said. The couple started their search for a location for their restaurant and when they walked in the front doors of the building they knew it was meant to be when they saw an “M” etched into the window near the entrance. Some would say it was fate, as the couple planned to name the restaurant “Matthew's” after their son. SEE MATTHEW’S RESTAURANT, PAGE 10
Cities provide real-world experiences to soldiers before deployment BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Team members of Charlie Company 407 Civil Affairs Battalion based out of Arden Hills spent part of their Saturday with city officials learning how a city functions in order to prepare for future deployment. The Battalion will be deployed in the fall to a location in Africa or Europe. On Saturday, March 4 numerous teams of the Company visited Centerville, Circle Pines, Blaine, Spring Lake Park and North Oaks.
“It's a training opportunity for us. It gives us a base knowing how a city works, knowing what services a city needs and it gives us a picture so when we get where we are going, we can look at what they are doing and how we can effectively multiply resources to make what they already have better without actually spending money,” capt. Zoa said. Civil Affairs soldiers serve as the link between the military and the civil authorities. With specialists in various areas of government, they can assist a govSEE CIVIL AFFAIRS BATTALION, PAGE 9

Circle Pines custom homebuilder attends 25 years of the Parade of Homes - in style BY PAT ZEITNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
CIRCLE PINES — Tim Lang grew up in central Minnesota on a dairy farm. You could say he got into the construction business early. “We were always doing something to the barn or the house. My grandpa came over to do the work and I’d work with him. He was a good teacher,” he said. Today, Tim is showing a beautifully staged custom-built model home on tour with the 2017 spring Parade of Homes. In fact, Tim has had an originally architectured and designed home in the Parade of Homes every year since 1991. That’s 25 years. Lang attended trade school in St. Cloud, then moved to the Twin Cities area. He framed houses for other contractors in the late 1970s, and started out on his own in 1981. He built his first house in Blaine in 1985. Lang lives in Ham Lake with his wife Paula. His office has been at 620 Civic Heights Drive, #100, in Circle Pines since 1998. He started his company as Tim Lang Builders and it has since become Lang Builders Inc. Tim is president and his youngest son, Justin, is vice president. Tim and his wife have three sons; Justin is the one who “followed dad around since he was little,” he said. Justin worked for Lang Builders while he was a student at Blaine High School, where he graduated in 2006. In 2008 he joined the Marines. When he got out in 2012, he started framing with his dad right away. “While I was in the Marines I realized I’d rather work a job that was more steady (with the hours). The biggest thing that drove me though, were the houses, our models that we build. I just love the homes,” Justin said. “Starting from the ground up and going from nothing being there to this awesome house.” The Lang Builders’ model in this year’s Parade of Homes is Home #444, at 953 Pheasant Run S., in Lino Lakes. “We just got this home done two weeks ago. As soon as it warms up, we’ll be doing all the cement (sidewalks) and landscaping. Everything (outside) will get done,” Tim assured readers. Wendy Danks is editor of the Parade of Homes guidebook, which accompanies each tour. “The Parade of Homes started in 1949 when a group of builders in the Twin Cities, that were part of the Builders Association (BATC) at the time decided they wanted to put a little life into the fall market,” she said. It has since grown into both a springtime and autumn event. “The homes in the parade really reflect what’s going on in the Twin Cities as a whole. The growing suburbs are where most of the homes tend to be, because that’s where the land is,” she said. “The north side has been pretty popular for a while, it balances with Lakeville down to the southwest or Farmington to the southeast. Lino Lakes has become pretty popular, and it really relates back to where cities are willing to welcome development.” Lang Builders has built homes throughout the entire metro area. “The land is a little more reasonable on this side of town than it is in Edina,” Tim stated. His first model home in the parade was also in Lino Lakes. Danks reported this year’s median price for homes in the parade is $499,000. Lang Builders’ model is priced at $599,900. “New construction is a little bit pricier in Minnesota. We’ve got very strict energy codes and some pretty strict building codes, she said. “They’ve got a lot of regulatory costs that go in, certain minimum standards that need to be met. That’s where a lot of the cost comes in and puts a premium on it versus what you can find in an older neighborhood.” The least expensive home in this parade is $199,000, shown in Isanti. “This is the highest lowest price we’ve had since I’ve been around,” Danks said. She has been involved with the Parade of Homes since the early 1980s.
Lang Builders boasts a parade of its own when it comes to winning awards. Since 1968, members of the BATC have coveted the Reggie Award of Excellence more than any other. It represents outstanding achievement in the design, construction quality and value of homes as judged by the harshest critics, builders and professionals within the industry. Lang Builders earned the Reggie in 1992. An impressive list follows of additional Trillium Awards including Best Overall Kitchen, Best Interior Design, Best Lighting Application, Best Fireplace, Best Cabinetry and Casework, Best Closet/Organization Systems and Best Interior, all earned by Tim and his longtime in-house architect Bob Benson, and their partnerships with BATC associates. Lang Builders has built over 750 custom homes since the early 1980s, with an average of 11 for sale at any given time. This year Tim only had one home ready for this spring’s Parade of Homes. All the other finished homes were sold. “I’ve had up to five in a Parade of Homes,” he said as he grinned. One day, Justin may take over for his dad. If he loves a parade, he has a good teacher.

Beam me up to Nerdville
f you catch me dressed in a Starfleet uniform and a pair of Vulcan ears, don’t be too surprised. At the end of the month, I will be appearing in an original production entitled “A Trip to Nerdville” with the Arts Garden theater group in Hugo. The name of the show drew me in – as a big fan of “Star Wars” and “Star Trek,” I am a self-described nerd. Nerds sometimes get a bad rap – most definitions of the word include references to intelligence marred by social awkwardness. Often it’s used to refer to groups of people who idolize pop culture music, TV shows, games, movies, comics and more, which is closer to the definition used in “A Trip to Nerdville.” The show highlights scenes from some of the most beloved “nerdy” TV shows and movGetting ies – “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “The in Tune Princess Bride,” “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and more. Jackie Bussjaeger You don’t have to be a nerd to appreciate these classic shows and films, but fil b if you’re ’ really crazy about them, you’ll probably call yourself one. The entire play is an ode to embracing the inner nerd. You don’t have to be a self-described nerd to enjoy the films and shows represented in the show; but you’re definitely encouraged to let your nerdy side out. This includes more than a few interactive moments – the audience will practice a levitation spell along with Harry Potter, quote along with famous one-liners from “The Princess Bride” and even get to throw furry tribbles onto the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise. What really convinced me to audition was that I had a shot at playing some of my favorite characters onstage. It was especially meaningful if there was a possibility I could pay homage to two of my favorite actors who passed away in the last couple years – Leonard Nimoy and Carrie Fisher. Nimoy’s “Star Trek” character Mr. Spock always appealed to me because he was different than the other crew members on the Enterprise: quiet and reserved, but very wise. As an introvert myself, it was inspiring to see confidence in someone who was not as outspoken and brash as Captain Kirk. And in “Star Wars,” Princess Leia was capable of everything – she could hold her own against Darth Vader and trade insults with Han Solo. Of course I admired her. In addition to her onscreen work, Fisher was an extremely talented writer as well as a vocal advocate for mental health. Long story short, I’m currently memorizing my lines for the roles of Princess Leia and Mr. Spock. One thing that’s stereotypically true of nerds is that they lack confidence in public. This is something that might also be true of some of the actors who participate in Arts Garden shows – director Jill Whitney-Birk said that it’s a little different than traditional community theater in that it allows anyone – regardless of race, age, gender or even level of talent – to play the roles they always wanted but never thought they could get. The mission of Arts Garden is “To encourage people to flourish through experiences in and exposure to the arts.” It’s more about fun than it is about polish – if you have ever had the inclination to sing, dance or act onstage but you don’t have quite the level of confidence or talent you think you need, this theater is for you. Rehearsal schedules are also flexible, making the performance more accessible to students or those with full-time jobs. Some roles are double-cast, so that everyone has an opportunity to show their strengths in the roles that suit them best. “A Trip to Nerdville” runs March 31-April 2 at the Hugo American Legion. You don’t have to come, but it might be your only chance to throw a tribble at me. You can learn more about the production at www. artsgarden.org/Theatre.html.

Stretching your garden budget with seeds

e’ve all been drawn into the beautiful plants at the garden centers and may have gotten carried away with over spending, especially after a long colorless winter season.

Purchasing Gardener’s seeds instead of plants is one of Grapevine the most economical ways of Lynne stretching your Forbragd garden budget. Always buy high quality seed to ensure a higher success rate of germination. Vegetables, herbs, annuals and perennials can all be started from seed. Instead of purchasing seed starter kits and flats, try plastic egg cartons or any plastic containers that have a clear top cover. Punch a hole in the bottom of the container for drainage and fi ll with seed-starting soil mix. The clear plastic top works great as a terrarium to help germinate seeds.

Cougar wrestlers capture 2nd, 4th and 6th place medals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Centennial’s two Big Tenbound senior wrestlers, Jakob Bergeland and Tyler Shilson, hoping to cap their
prep careers with state championships, fell short of the goal March 4. Bergeland, a state champion at 132 last year, was runner-up at 138, while Tyler Shilson, a state runner-up last year at 138,

Jake Bergeland reached state finals for the second straight year. Champ last year, he was runner-up this year with a 2-1 loss to an unbeaten Anoka wrestler.

Emily Shilson, first girl in Class 3A to qualify for state, had a good showing but lost 7-4 in her lone match.
placed fourth at 152, at the Xcel Energy Center. The Cougars’ six-person (not six-man) contingent had one more medalist in Justin Mohlin, senior 195-pounder who finished sixth. Emily Shilson, just the second girl ever to qualify for a state tournament, lost her only match. Bergeland, a state champion at 132 last year, reached the finals again, this time at 138, and lost to Anoka’s top-ranked Tyler Eischens 2-1. Eischens (46-0), a junior who was a state runner-up the last two years, got his takedown in the first period. “It was a poorly-wrestled first period, but I rode him out in the second period, which was huge,” Bergeland recounted. “It was 2-1 so all I need was an escape. I came really close and it was a tough match where I was inches from winning it.” Bergeland advanced to finals beating Minnetonka’s Caleb
Schumacher (pin, 1:19), Shakopee’s Sam Webster (9-0) and Apple Valley’s Kyle Rathman (3-2). The Gophers recruit was 43-3 this year and 170-19 in his career. “It was a fun season with my team,” said Bergeland, “and I learned a lot about how I need to progress for college.” Tyler Shilson took fourth at 152 pounds. The program’s all-time win leader with 193, he was 40-3 this year. The Wisconsin recruit vanquished Eagan’s Marcus Mcinley 17-2 and Apple Valley’s Nate Larson 8-2, then lost in the quarterfinals to Shakopee’s Alex Lloyd 13-6. In the wrestle-backs, Tyler Shilson beat Teddy Pierce of St. Francis 6-1 and lost the third place match to Woodbury’s Austin Braun 6-5. Bergeland medaled three times in his career (fourth, first and second) as did Tyler
Shilson (fourth twice and second). Mohlin (33-13) opened with a pin of Coon Rapids’ Jack Scheck in 3:45 and a 6-5 decision over Faribault’s Felipe Ramirez with a takedown via arm throw with 10 seconds left, then lost his next three matches but got on the podium in sixth place. John Noll (29-1), Cougar sophomore, went 2-2 at state, with a first-period pin and 5-0 decision at 170 pounds, and didn’t place. Bergeland, Tyler Shilson, Noll and Mohlin all lost to the eventual champion. Emily Shilson, just the second girl state qualifier and first in Class 3A (as a section runner-up) at 106, was hoping to be the first girl to win a match for advancement at state. The sophomore lost to Sartell-St. Stephen’s Patrick Hesse 7-4 and finished 30-8. Also one-anddone at state was senior Aiston DeGeest (28-10).
Cougars lose to veteran Pirate lineup in section finals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
A young Centennial girls basketball team took on a veteran Park Center lineup that’s played in more big games than any group in the state, with a trip to state on the line, last Thursday. The Pirates fought off Cougars 5346 in Anoka for the Section 5AAAA title, advancing to state for the fourth straight year. “That was a tough loss. Our kids played so hard,” Centennial coach Jill Becken reflected. “Park Center's seniors definitely have playoff and state tournament experience. They were a very focused, driven group. I'm hoping our players can use the playoff experi-
ence and build on it for next year.” Park Center has three seniors who’ve won 97 games, including a 6-0 mark in section and state championship games. They are guards Ann Simonet (15 points on five three’s) and Danielle Schaub (14) and 6-foot-3 forward Mikayla Hayes (10). The Pirates (24-5) also had junior guard Sommer Blakemore with 13. Sara Grow, Centennial’s lone senior starter, led with 13 points. Sydney Stapleton had nine and Claire Orth eight. The Cougars finished 22-7 with sophomores and juniors in the other spots. “Sarah Grow had such a great year, both on the court and as a leader off the court,” Becken said. “She played really well in the section final on both ends.

The Centennial boys capped their regular season with a 56-54 win over Ironale and a 73-67 loss to No. 12 ranked Osseo, then got stymied by Mounds View 52-47 in the first round of playoffs. The Cougars finished 12-15 overall, 8-11 in conference. Josh McGreal led the win over Irondale with 23 points. The 6-foot-6 senior hit 20 against Osseo while Shane Taleen had
All our seniors brought something special to our team. Besides Sarah, we will miss Nikki Clark, Laura Gallup, Bridget Bolkcom, Jennifer Hicks, and McKenna Gieske.” Most of the court time this year was by sophomores and juniors. “We have 4 returning starters and potentially 13 returning players overall next year … We will offer summer camps and open gyms. We will have some summer practices, participate in a summer league, and play in a number of tournaments. Most of our varsity players also play on AAU teams in the summer so they keep plenty busy.” To reach the finals, the Cougars beat Mounds View 73-38 and Champlin Park 62-46. They had split with Champlin Park in conference but dominated the rubber game with Sydney Stapleton sniping for 26 points and Claire Orth adding 11.
Centennial had a 50-50 chance against Maple Grove to earn a state tournament berth, but the grand goal eluded them 4-3 in the Section 5AAA finals March 2. “No doubt it was two evenly matched teams, but we thought we dictated the pace,” Cougar coach Rich Menne said. “We outshot them 39-16, we just couldn't get the pucks in the net.” Centennial split with the Crimson in conference games, but were foiled by a freshman goalie, Ethan Haider, making 36 saves, in the section finals. “Their goalie was the total difference,” Menne said. Carter Wagner, Hayden Brickner and Graham Bickner had the Cougar goals. Tyler Kostelecky and Sam Huff delivered two each for the Crimson. Centennial finished 22-5-1, tying for the second-most wins in program history. “It was a terrific season for our guys,”
Menne said. “The guys worked hard all summer and winter long and we are so proud of all of them.”

CIVIL AFFAIRS BATTALION: 'Immeasurable' training for deployment FROM PAGE 1
ernment to meet its people's needs and maintain stability and viable civic administration. Civil Affairs units help military commanders by working with civil authorities and civilian populations in the commander's area of operations to lessen the impact of military operations. While visiting the cities, the soldiers learned how a city functions and explored policies, budgets, utilities and police and fire departments. “When we get to come and meet with a local government like this, the training we are getting, regardless of if we are going to somewhere like Iraq or Afghanistan or a more stabilized sovereign nation, is immeasurable,” Sgt. Snyder said. “We are able to establish a denominator on how government works and when it is effective for a baseline.” While in Circle Pines, the soldiers witnessed how conflicts can easily arise within city leadership. Councilman Matt Percy played the role of a mean, belligerent councilp-
erson who was angry with the mayor. Percy and Mayor Dave Bartholomay got into a heated argument and tried to drag the soldiers into the middle of it. As the Civil Affairs Battalion, the training focuses on soldier fundamentals, but also conflict resolutions, foreign assistance, nation-building and developing skills such as communication. Percy said, “I really do think it is great that you guys are doing this. A lot of people think the Army's job is to go in and shoot a bunch of people and you are clearly not doing that. Your role is so much more broad, and you are being asked to represent the core values of the country abroad.” Capt. Zoa responded, “Our job is to make sure they know our primary purpose is not to pull the trigger, it is to make things better for them. Whatever we do we have to make sure it is aligned with the interests of the U.S.” While in Centerville, another team of the Company asked City Administrator Mike Ericson questions such as, “Are
building and maintaining regional relationships. That is, continued discussions with the school district, watershed districts, neighboring municipalities, local and state agencies on regional issues,” he said. “It is important to build those relationships. There is nothing like a face-to-face as it
there any disaster concerns for the city? What structures are available to house citizens in the event of a disaster? Are there any humanitarian programs available in the city? Does the city conduct disaster drill/preparedness?” Bartholomay felt the training went well. “We gave them real-world experiences with all aspects of a city. We talked about how interaction, communication and teamwork is critical and how a well-run city operates,” he said. “I didn't serve in the military, and when you haven't, you are always looking for ways to help the military. This was an opportunity for us to help them when they go overseas and start talking to community leaders in different countries and different situations. The hope is that our experiences can make them more prepared to be able to help other communities in other parts of the world.” Ericson also felt the training went well and explained why Centerville wanted to participate. “The 2017 City Council goal-setting session identified
were to allow them an opportunity to get to know how we operate and bring back what they've learned here to when they are deployed.” Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or at quadnews@presspubs.com.

The business will celebrate its 21-year anniversary this June and Amy can't believe it. “I never had the thought process of imagining 20 years, but it is something that I'm incredibly proud of and it is a really satisfying feeling, especially in the restaurant business,” she said. “I feel extremely blessed. We have incredible staff here.” Matthew's has many longtime staff members who have been with the business since the beginning or shortly thereafter. Kitchen manager Brian Borchardt is one of them. He started working at Matthew's as a line cook in 1998 to explore his passion for cooking. “I have been able to get experience from day one. I can remember when I was 5 and I was burning breakfast for my parents in the kitchen and they would come in to see what was going on,” he recalled. “It is in my blood, it is part of who I am. There is not one bad cook in my family.” Although Borchardt left Matthew's for a while to gain more experience, he returned. “This is my home, this is where I feel the most comfortable. I know our customers so well and I just love cooking for them,” he said. Server Nicole Fredricksen described employees leaving for a while and returning as a common occurrence. “There is a joke around here, ‘Once you leave, you come back’: we've all done it.” The business creates a family culture for both the customers and the employees. “It is a big family here. I know it sounds cliché, but it really is. It is familiar, it is comfortable and you build good relationships and continuity. We are able to put out good food and good service because we have so many longtime employees,” Borchardt explained. One change the business has played around with is its hours of operation. The business used to serve dinner, but is now open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. seven days a week. “We decided to focus on being a really
good breakfast and lunch place. It is what we are known for,” Amy said. “Two years ago, our dinner sales were only 17 percent of our total sales.” The business is known for many of its original dishes including the hot turkey sandwich, hand-battered chicken strips and Borchardt's own creation, the Northern Woods omelet, which has Minnesota wild rice, bacon, sausage, Italian sausage, mushroom, onion, American and Swiss cheese and is topped with Hollandaise sauce. Fredricksen added Matthew's is also known for its crispy hash browns. “Everything is homemade. There is so much thought that goes into the food,” she said. Serving at Matthew's was Fredricksen's first job at the age of 15 after her cousin, Molly Fredricksen — who still works there — got her in the door. She grew up in Centerville and has worked at Matthew's for 13 years. She enjoyed the job because of its flexible hours, which allowed her to continue working through high school, college and after having a baby. Fredricksen loves the customers and chatting with them. “I have seen a lot of babies and little kids who are now graduating high school,” she said. “You grow a connection with people. There are so many customers who come in daily or weekly, so that is fun.” Matthew's is also known to create a culture of family with its customers. In fact, Fredricksen recalled a time when a customer came in for his wedding anniversary after his wife had passed away and they gave him a flower. “It is so hard to find a place like this anymore. You come for the love,” Fredricksen said. Amy added, “We try really hard to put out good, homemade food and be consistent, give good service and good value. We feel like we have really good value here. Truly, once people try it, they come back.” Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or at quadnews@ presspubs.com.

Weber Family collection Last week we began a threepart series about the Weber family collection, which was recently donated to the Anoka County Historical Society (ACHS). This week, we’ll look at some more records that are part of that collection. The Weber family farm was handed down through three generations of the family. Some of the legal documents that trace these ownership transfers tell us another interesting story as well: How did older people plan for retirement in the years before nursing homes and assisted living facilities became common? Donald Weber signed an agreement with his parents, Leonard and Mary, in which they sold the farm to him for $1. In return, he agreed that they would be able to live on the farm (have room and board) for the rest of their
lives, or were to be paid a monthly stipend of a specified amount if they chose or needed to move elsewhere. Interestingly, Leonard Weber had signed almost the exact same agreement with his parents, Joseph and Annie, when they were ready to retire, and Joseph in turn had signed a similar agreement with his father, Johann. This arrangement seems to have worked well for the Weber family, since they made the same agreement over three separate generations. Other records in the collection tell us interesting stories. There are draft cards for Leonard Weber for both World War I and World War II — he was exempted from service both times due to the fact he was a farmer, which was considered a vital occupation. He and Mary received special rations during World War
II for the same reason, and Leonard received the Minnesota Agricultural Award in 1943, in “recognition of your efforts to increase vital war food production.” Being heavily into dairy farming, the Webers were members of the Twin Cities Milk Producers Association, and many of those documents are in the collection. There are records which tell about health problems in the family, including some suffered by Leonard’s brother Jacob, as well as Leonard’s own illness and death in 1952. Later records tell us that Donald and his mother eventually sold the farm, and Donald went on to work for the railroad for many years. He and Mary liked to travel, and family photographs show them visiting many different places over the years. Older photographs show us the
Weber farm, livestock and equipment, giving us a direct look at farming in Centerville in the fi rst half of the 20th century. The most recent photographs show us Donald’s fi nal few years, when he lived in a nursing home. This collection is large and
varied. How does ACHS handle a collection like this once it comes to the museum? Read the fi nal part of this series next week to fi nd out. Submitted by Anoka County historical society

Grant from CAEF to help local students get their GED CIRCLE PINES — The high cost for someone who wishes to complete their general education degree (GED) might not be a barrier now thanks to a grant from the Centennial Area Education Foundation (CAEF). The cost to complete a GED is currently $120. “With the generous grant from CAEF, 10 students can take the test for $60, which is more aligned with the previous cost of the test and a more reasonable price for students,” said Gail Stone, adult continuing education (ACE) instructor. The grant doesn’t just benefit the student. “It also benefits their children, generations to come and the Centennial area community,” she said. Stone said during the 2015-2016 school year, the income of 52 percent of Centennial ACE students
were below poverty level ($22,257). “Young students especially may be dependent on a parent(s) who do not support their desire for an education and cannot support them financially. Older students who have jobs which will not support a family experience severe constraints on their income and have to make difficult choices about how to spend the limited income. For these students, the cost of the GED and the practice tests is often unaffordable.” Stone, who has taught at Centennial ACE for 21 years, said, “I have had students whose goal is to read more to their children. Imagine the difference this makes in people’s lives when they find the joy of reading and feel more confident communicating.”
ACE is open from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, Tuesdays from 4:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 6- 8:30 p.m. New students should call 763398-2980. Centennial Community Education is proud to offer learning and en-
richment opportunities for all ages and abilities. Centennial ACE is a Community Education program and is part of the Metro North Con-
sortium comprised of 14 ACE sites in nine school districts. Centennial Community Education provides true lifelong learning to residents
in Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington and Lino Lakes. Press release

Friend's hardship brings Centennial alumni back together BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
A local man's hardship has brought an old group of friends back together. Terry Spike, a 1989 graduate of Centennial, now lives in Isanti, but grew up in Circle Pines. When Spike received the news that he had stage 4 metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma cancer at the age of 45, he stayed positive because of the support from family and friends. After graduating from high school, Spike and his friends from Centennial all went their separate ways, but amazingly stayed in touch. “While we all enjoyed hanging out together and doing what kids and teens do while growing up, we share a lot of great memories and struggles as well. I guess you could say we didn't think this would be one of them,” said Spike's friend Deanna Dettman. “When we graduated, Terry went off into the military. Some of us got married and started families. Terry would write us always checking to see how we were doing and letting us know how he was doing. Life goes on, and on … but our friendships never changed.” Spike is a Gulf War veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1990-1994. Although the cause has not been confi rmed, Spike believes some of the things he was exposed to during his service caused the cancer, as some of his military friends are dealing with similar health problems. During the war, Spike says he was exposed to burning oil wells, ammunition dump
sites, chemical warfare and pyridostigmine bromide (PB), an anti-nerve agent pill given as pretreatment to protect military personnel from death in an attack with the nerve agent Soman. “A few of my friends and I noticed almost immediately tingling sensations in our fi ngers and feet,” Spike explained. Since he got out of the military, Spike has dealt with carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis, but other than that he was pretty healthy. Last summer Spike began having intense back pain that caused him to go to the emergency room numerous times. Eventually he was diagnosed with acute lower back pain. No other tests were done and the doctor refused to do a prostate cancer exam until Spike turned 50. Spike knew something was wrong when the pain started to travel from his lower back all the way up to his skull. A large bump started forming on the side of his skull right near his eye. On Jan. 13 Spike was diagnosed. “It was a shock. You never think of prostate cancer at age 45,” said Spike's caregiver, Aimee Stanford. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, 65 percent of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65 and the average age diagnosis in the U.S. Is 69 years; 1 in 38 men will be diagnosed from age 40-59. It is also rare that Spike's cancer metastasized so quickly and into his skull. Once the cancer leaves the prostate, it typically travels to the hips, up the spine and settles in the neck or shoulders. On Feb. 1, Spike underwent a nine-hour
surgery to remove 90 to 95 percent of the tumor and a portion of his skull. He lost five units of blood. In addition to the surgery, he is just finishing up 13 sessions of radiation and will begin chemotherapy in the near future. Although survival rates for most types of prostate cancer are pretty high, that rate drops depending on the man's age as well as if the cancer is localized to the prostate or has spread. According to the American Cancer Society, around one-third of men whose cancer has spread to distant areas will likely survive their cancer for more than five years. Stanford says they are remaining optimistic that Spike will have many more years than just five. “I think the likelihood of it going into remission is kind of slim, but miracles happen every day,” she said. “Because he is so young and healthy otherwise, he has a good chance of making it well beyond those five years.” Spike and Stanford hope by sharing his story, to create awareness of early detection for prostate cancer. They say even if your doctor refuses to perform the prostate cancer test before the age of 50, if you have a family history of cancer, find a doctor who will do the test. Cancer is rampant in Spike's family; his mother is a breast cancer survivor, his father had prostate cancer, and his sister passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer. Benefit Spike's battle with cancer has brought a big group of his friends back together. A

group of around 15 people have worked hard to organize a benefit for him. “It only made sense to support our friend through this tough time, knowing he would be there in a heartbeat for anyone of us,” Dettman said. Spike's friend Jeremy Fisher helped organize the benefit because he wants to give his friend some financial stability. “He is a pretty positive, brave guy,” he said. The benefit will be at 5 p.m. Saturday, March 18 at the Lino Lakes American Legion Post 566. The benefit will include a spaghetti dinner ($15 until food runs out), silent auction, raffles, DJ and karaoke. “This benefit has been easy to put together and achieve due to the fact that everybody has pulled together. Friends, family and the community have really extended warm hearts. It was hard not to tear up on every donation given,”
Dettman said. In addition to the benefit, there are additional financial efforts to help Spike pay for medical expenses that are not covered, medications, bills, gas and other costs of living. The Legion donated $3,000 to Spike and the VFW in Isanti donated $1,000. Numerous local businesses have also donated to the cause. Fisher started a GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/ support-terry-spikes-fight) page for Spike that had raised over $5,700 as of press time. Spike described the outpouring of support “incredible and overwhelming.” Around 200 people are expected to attend the benefit, including some of Spike's military friends who are flying/driving in from all over the U.S. Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or at quadnews@presspubs.com.
LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council discussed the following items at its March 6 work session: • American Legion Post 566 Finance Officer Ken Kennedy and General Manager Diana Cox told the council about the Legion's value to the community and wanted the council to consider giving the Legion some sort of military discount on the land acquisition for the parking lot expansion. “I feel that a lot of people have a misperception about what an American Legion is. This Legion is so much more than just a bar. We spend so much more time working on the community,” Cox explained. “Yes, we do have a bar, but that is just 30 percent of my job, the rest of my job is what we do for the community.” Mayor Jeff Reinert added, “It is more like the American Legion Community Center than anything else. Every time I go there, there is something going on … It is nightly. You guys do have one of the most
active and tied to the community American Legions I've ever seen.” Cox shared a number of events the Legion has recently hosted or will host in the near future and shared her concern of parking with the council. “These are people from our community who come to support their community and I don't have the parking for them,” she said. “People park on Lake Drive and that is dangerous. I am worried about people getting hurt. I don't want them parking over at the fi re department because they need the room to get in and out.” Kennedy said many of the businesses involved in the project have already agreed to give a military discount of up to 20 percent. The city has established a price of $100,200 for the 1-acre parcel adjacent to the Legion's property (7731 Lake Drive) based on the appraisal of the property. The fi rst offer the Legion submitted was turned down by the city and the council will consider another offer
in a closed session after the next council meeting March 13. • North Metro TV (NMTV) Executive Director Heidi Arnson visited the council to give an update on what NMTV has accomplished since she last visited the council in October. Arnson said NMTV has made many improvements to both content and quality. • Heard from Account Manager Steve Browender of Z Systems' regarding a technical services contract for consulting, design and engineering services for upgrading the audio/visual production system in the Council Chambers and master control room to HD. During the Feb. 27 work session the council had many questions about the proposal and requested a representative from the company attend the next work session. Councilman Rob Rafferty shared his concern with the contract. “I don't see how the bid process can possibly work in this
regard. One, you are getting paid up front. That doesn't make any sense to me. Seems to me a person like yourself would be better off as a consultant,” he said. “You are getting paid $8,000 up front. Everybody else is going to see that and the people bidding are going to shy away knowing someone already got paid for coming up with a plan.” Councilman Bill Kusterman didn't have a problem with Z Systems being paid to come up with the design of the upgrade and then later bidding the project, but did have an issue with Z Systems requiring 50 percent of the total project cost ($7,975) up front. Reinert wanted to ensure that the design include a couple of different options for the council to consider. The item is set to be discussed again at the March 13 council meeting. • Community Development Director discussed the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. At the Feb. 6 council
work session, the council directed city staff to prepare a request for proposal (RFP) for the planning profession services to assist with the Comprehensive Plan update. WSB & Associates will prepare the engineering and park-related components of the plan. The RFP was distributed to five fi rms and the city only heard back from one fi rm, Landform Professional Services in Minneapolis. Reinert described only hearing back from one fi rm as “rare” and directed Grochala to wait another week before making the decision to go with Landform. The city intends to have a draft of the plan ready by June 2018 and the final plan needs to be completed by Dec. 31, 2018. • City Administrator Jeff Karlson explained there was a vacancy on the park board. One application was received and the council will interview the applicant, Kelly Jo McDonnell, before the
next council meeting March 13. The next council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 27 in the Council Chambers at City Hall. There will be a work session immediately beforehand at 6 p.m. in the Community Room. Shannon Granholm

Lino Lakes brewery and taproom still crafting great beer 3 years in BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LINO LAKES — The cozy, chalet-like feel of the taproom won't change anytime soon, but you'll always find something fresh and unique in your glass at HammerHeart Brewery. This isn't your mama's
Miller Lite. These guys know beer. The staff frequently rotates their 12 Nordic-inspired taps with 100 percent of their own recipes, all made in-house. Staying put HammerHeart Brewery and Taproom, located at 7785 Lake Drive in Lino Lakes, has been open for

for three years. The idea brewed when Nathaniel Chapman and Austin Lunn decided to open a business focusing on their passion for good beer. Both men had experience as home brewers and wanted to go bigger. The business partners spent time traveling the world to gain hands-on brewing experience. Lunn even spent time in Norway studying at the respected Haandbryggeriet microbrewery. What's the secret to staying in business when so many independent ventures fail? “Staying true to what you want to do and trying to make money doing it,” Chapman said. They've followed this credo tooth and nail, from sticking to the Nordic-inspired décor and brewery techniques to maintaining their commitment to provide the community with high-quality brews in a neighborhood setting. Chapman added, “The city of Lino Lakes and its residents, as well as nearby communities, have also been incredibly supportive.” Neighbors often visit throughout the week, while patrons who stop in from near and far — even from several hours away — are not uncommon on weekends. Putting the heart in beer The name HammerHeart is a nod to one of Lunn's and Chapman's favorite Swedish metal bands, Bathory. HammerHeart is the title of one of the band's albums, which the duo thought embodied the metal and Viking flair that inspires them. The owners and workers also bring a lot of heart to the table. Behind his intimidating Viking-esque 6-foot-5-inch frame, Chapman is friendly and eager to talk beer. He and his wife, Erin, a teacher at Rice Lake Elementary, have two young boys, so they relate to the need for a family-friendly environment. In many ways, HammerHeart is the epitome of a modern-day family business. Lunn and Chapman are not just business partners — they're brothersin-law. Lunn married Chapman's sister, Bekah. Bekah's photography peppers the wooden walls of the taproom, and it's not unusual for Chapman's kids to swing by. Skol What makes this brewery stand out from the dozen or so cropping up in the metro? Chapman said it is the complexity their beers offer. In a sea of trendy India Pale Ale's, HammerHeart offers beer drinkers flavors inspired by Nordic and Celtic tradition. They smoke 75 percent of their high-alcohol, “malt-centric” beer, giving it a distinctly smooth and rich flavor. Hops are in there, but malt takes priority. While the taps change frequently, the chocolate beer is one unique offering. They use real baking chocolate during the brewing process to give it a subtle flavor of cocoa and a smokey undertone. When to visit HammerHeart is open Tuesday-Saturday from 2-10 p.m. and on Sunday from 12-8 p.m. On the weekends, food trucks stop by with tasty bites for hungry patrons, and on Friday nights German pretzels are available. Visitors can enjoy the quaint patio outside when it warms up. More information about current tap offerings, bottle sales and a food truck schedule can be found at hammerheartbrewing.com.

WEATHER TIDBIT Oh man, we came oh so close to setting a new record for ice-outs for several area lakes. Last week’s wind battered lake ice, not just White Bear Lake but also Minnetonka. If not for the reminder that winter is not over with several days of cold, which left lakes with a shiny ice cover, and then Sunday’s snow, we no doubt would have had new iceout records. With the Spring Equinox under a week away and temperatures trending to normal, the ice should be gone very soon. NOTE: Ice-out 2016 (White Bear Lake, Forest Lake and Bald Eagle): March 16.
