Couple will open Les Mills fitness studio BY SARA MARIE MOORE STAFF WRITER

In pursuit of the golden eggs Children (and some adults) dash out onto a field covered with colored eggs during the Spring Fling event Friday, March 24 at the Lino Lakes Senior Center. The participants were seeking four golden eggs that had been previously been dispersed among the hundreds of eggs placed by volunteers. Find more photos of the event on Page 2.
LINO LAKES — Eric and Sheri Heim love their Les Mills fitness program so much they decided to open their own studio when they heard the YMCA is cutting the program this year. The couple lives in Columbus but hopes to open the studio in Lino Lakes, where Eric has been attending Les Mills BodyPump classes at the YMCA. “We do want to 'Save Les Mills' in Lino Lakes, and hope others share our passion and our vision for a great new studio,” said Sheri. The studio does not have a location yet, but does have a name – CORe 619 Group Fitness. The name is based off of I Corinthians 6:19: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” The Heims want to SEE LES MILLS, PAGE 3

LINO LAKES — Christina Hamman and Ryan Lange have found God to be their source of strength after their 22-month old son died from injuries incurred at a day care Jan. 29. The couple hadn't been attending a church before Cameron's death, but started attending Ryan's father's church where they held Cameron's funeral — Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Shoreview. “I felt a connection to the pastor of the church,” said Christina. “I was never really raised on any religion.” Christina now has hope that she will see her little boy again. “If I keep my faith, I have a promise to see him,” she said. She was baptized the Sunday before what would have
been Cameron's 2nd birthday. “I was baptized the day before his birthday to honor him and start my new life,” said Christina. Several friends and the pastor of Shepherd of the Hills also put together a balloon release and candlelight vigil for the grieving parents on his birthday, March 14. A professional photographer even donated his time to capture the event. About 60 family and friends attended the event held at Cameron's favorite park next to his parent's home. They released purple balloons into the air. “Purple was his favorite color,” said Christina, remembering “The Color Song” was one of his favorite SEE GRIEVING PARENTS, PAGE 10

LES MILLS: Fitness lovers want to save their program FROM PAGE 1
encourage others to take good care of their bodies – and strengthen their core. The Heims are working on finalizing agreements with investors and meeting with their instructors to finalize schedules. “We are pretty far along,” said Sheri. “We are working on securing a location.” Sheir said some of the benefits of the Les Mills program are safety and consistency. Instructors all receive their routines directly from Les Mills, so a class is the same no matter who teaches it. The classes change every quarter to offer variety. Sheri also said Les Mills is adaptable for people with injuries and accessible to a wide variety of people. She enjoys the group aspect as well. “I really loved it because you are all doing things together,” she said. “It is basically for everyone, so I love it.” Eric has really loved the BodyPump classes, where weights are used in the fitness program. Sheri said men love that part of the Les Mills program because it is often hard for them to find a fitness class appropriate for them.

“It is manly as opposed to BodyStep,” said Sheri. Les Mills versus MOSSA YMCA members who oppose the nixing of Les Mills fitness classes in Twin Cities YMCAs created a website and have been gathering signatures on a petition to oppose the cutting of the program. The YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities plans to replace Les Mills classes with MOSSA classes in 2016, according to a letter received by YMCA members in February.
“It has recently been announced that we will be moving forward at some point in 2016 with MOSSA classes at all of our 21 YMCA locations,” reads the letter. “We will be keeping BodyPump, currently our most popular class. Once this transition is made BodyStep and BodyFlow will no longer be offered at our locations.” In its letter the YMCA apologized for lack of communication about the change, informed members that it made the decision based off extensive research,
and explained its new program. “MOSSA programs are designed to inspire participants in all fitness levels, from the new exerciser to the experienced,” reads the letter. “MOSSA has the most rigorous and comprehensive program development process in the industry, with more than 300 hours poured into each and every workout to ensure participants' enjoyment and success.” Still, members of the Save Les Mills Facebook page, about 450 of them,

Who is watching you?
T
his past Christmas, drones were among the top-selling gifts. My son has been saving his money to buy a drone with a camera that could be flown First Person View (FPV) since his birthday last fall. FPV means you control the drone’s flight with an iPhone or iPad by viewing the image from the camera. I was amazed at the quality of the photo and video images it produces. We checked the drone with our luggage on our recent trip to Florida, with the idea of documenting our trip with some footage from a new perspective. Each day we downloaded photos and video to create slide shows we would watch that night. At my in-laws condo in Cocoa Beach, Publisher’s we launched the drone to get video of the beach. Our few-minute flight took View video of the beach, ocean and an overview of the condo and grandpa waving Carter Johnson back at the camera. It wasn’t long before we received a loud knock on the door. A disgruntled resident and former condo association president explained that drone-flying was against the condo rules and against the law. We apologized and said we would stop future flights. We researched local laws on drones and found there weren’t any; however, we saw that the guy had a point. We may not have been breaking any laws, but launching it so close to a residential condo building didn’t show common sense on our part. Though it wasn’t our intention, for all the other condo residents knew we were snooping on them. It could be a little weird to be enjoying morning coffee on your balcony and see a drone hovering in front of you. Or maybe worse, accidentally crashing it into someone’s window. And while most people who live on the beach have binoculars or even telescopes they could use to gawk at sunbathers, I can see that the drone is potentially more invasive to one’s privacy. I loved the idea of a helmet-mounted cameras that hit the market a few years ago and the thought of recording ski runs or a whitewater rafting trip. But I was creeped out standing next to someone filming my kids and I while aboard the ski tram. It’s common knowledge that you can’t use a smartphone boasting high definition video and photo capabilities in restrooms or locker rooms, just like you shouldn’t fly a drone near someone’s home or windows. There are so many commonplace devices now that can take photo and video footage, and we need to teach common sense and some etiquette. The Federal Aviation Administration has created some rules for flying model aircraft like a drone. They include never flying above 400 feet and remaining clear of obstacles, and keeping the aircraft within visual line of sight at all times. Of course you cannot interfere with manned aircraft operation, so don’t fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control tower before flying. Don’t fly near people or populated areas. You also can’t fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs. If you are careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft. The FAA also provides YouTube videos on safe model aircraft operation at FAA.gov. If you’re interested in learning to fly a drone, start with a small indoor unit that might run around $49$100 and slowly work your way up to the higher-end models. These can cost anywhere from $300-$2000 depending on the size and camera quality, and can be purchased at local hobby stores, Best Buy or Target. Connect with someone who is currently flying to mentor you, and study the rules and regulations. Flying these units outside and above trees adds another level of challenge, and just be courteous to the property owners around you during your flight. We don’t want to write about accidents or someone shooting down a drone. Last year in Kentucky a man shot down a drone when he thought it was spying on his 16-year-old daughter sunbathing in the backyard. And more recently there was a near-miss when a drone crashed on a ski course, barely missing the racer. Technology is progressing quickly, helping to bring prices down. Drones are here to stay and offer another perspective for photographers. Fly safe and have fun. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.
A personal mission statement
I
recently attended a Leadership & Values Luncheon at Concordia College in Moorhead, where my son Kyle is a junior. The speaker talked about servant leadership and the importance of having a ‘personal mission statement’ that identifies your core values and beliefs and helps guide you to be your best. Steven Covey, a best-selling author, Movers & business referred to developing a mission Shakers statement as Dave “connecting your own Bartholomay with unique purpose and the profound satisfaction that comes from fulfi lling it.” We typically think more about mission statements as those belonging to business. One of my favorites is by the founder of ‘Life is Good’ clothing (Spreading the Power of Optimism: Life is not perfect. Life is not easy. Life is good.). So if you were to consider your life so far, and work to identify your values and your purpose, what would be your personal mission statement? I’ve thought about that from my perspective as a mayor in the community, and I realized there is a strong

to earn my way into heaven, but rather to serve my neighbor who needs help. And it fits in with what Steven Covey was saying earlier about the ‘profound satisfaction’ that comes from fulfi lling the mission statement. I can’t believe the support and appreciation I’ve received in my role as mayor, as I try my best to live up to my personal mission statement. connection between my work, That doesn’t mean it’s always my life, and my faith. easy as I stumble on my way As you may know, I’m an through life.

GRIEVING PARENTS: Find peace in heaven on son’s 2nd birthday FROM PAGE 10
Two minutes after she got off work on Jan. 29, Christina received a phone call about a medical emergency regarding Cameron. Follow-up calls from police directed her to the Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. It was then that she knew it must be serious.
A heavenly child “I was asking God to take me, not him,” said Christina. But when she arrived, a hospital chaplain pulled her aside and said “I'm sorry.” She and Ryan cried and held Cameron for several hours. “Whoever thinks it is going to be your child?” she said. Christina and Ryan had Cameron baptized by the hospital
and affectionate the night and morning before he passed. He had hugged both of them
chaplain, after Ryan expressed regret that he had not been baptized yet. The couple trusts Cameron is in heaven. On the balloon Christina released at his vigil she wrote, “Happy Birthday in heaven, pumpkin!” She watched as it flew away into the sky. Both Christina and Ryan thought Cameron had acted strangely peaceful
deliberately. “All I think about every day is my son,” said Christina. “We were like
attached at the hip. I hope eventually one day I can find a new normal. I hope for finding peace in it.”

A rental property ordinance in Lexington is now being enforced. It requires owners of all rental dwellings to hold a license for their property.
Rental property laws enforced BY JOLENE FRID CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LEXINGTON — An ordinance that will hold rental property owners accountable to maintain their properties is now being enforced. The law passed in June 2013 has only recently been enforced with the help of Inspectron Inc., a building inspection company. Why the wait? It can take time to get the right people to do the job. “Finding the right company to do this isn’t always easy,” said City Administrator Bill Petracek. He also noted that enforcing
the ordinance isn’t something that would require a full-time position within the city. That’s where a consulting company like Inspectron can fit well to enforce the standards, he said. The primary purpose of the ordinance is to improve rental housing and promote better housing standards in the community. Health and safety are main components. “You want to make sure that when people rent a property in your community that it’s adequate,” Petracek said. Feedback from the community has been
mixed. “We’ve had a few who are happy about it and a few who aren’t really thrilled about it,” he said. Rental property owners are required to obtain a rental dwelling license from the city. Failure to have the license is a violation of city code and can result in a misdemeanor charge. Property owners are required to remove snow and ice within specific parameters and hold to drainage and grading standards to avoid standing water. Other specifications include, but are not limited to: outdoor storage, food storage,
ceiling heights, toilet facilities, exterior doors and repair. Violations of any of the requirements
can result in misdemeanor charges to property owners. For more
