Lino Lakes Y will become north metro vaccine site
Nuptials gone awry: Coping with COVID-19 BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR
BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR
Molly and Chris Seven weeks before Molly Lund and Chris Kieger were supposed to say “I do,” everything turned upside down. Lund grew up in Hugo and Kieger in White Bear Lake. They are both White Bear Lake grads (2009 and 2008, respectively). They became engaged in August 2020. Lund is a site manager for Kids Club at Rice Lake Elementary School in Lino Lakes, and Kieger is a document control specialist at Sensata Technologies in White Bear Lake. The Forest Lake residents were planning to get married at a small ceremony at a resort up north on April 30. In March, they found out they would need to cancel and start their venue search all over again.
Later this week, north metro residents could have another option to be vaccinated close to home. The Lino Lakes City Council has approved a resolution authorizing city staff to enter into a license agreement with the state of Minnesota to use the YMCA building/future recreation center, as a COVID-19 vaccination site. Jamie Wallerstedt, of the State Emergency Operations Center, thanked city staff for working so quickly to get the site up and running. “Staff really responded well, fast, were very willing to talk about all of our ideas to bring this vaccination site to your community,” she said at the March 30 special meeting. “We are really looking forward to having this opportunity for your city, your county and the surrounding communities in the north metro.” Last winter, the city was approached by the state to possibly use the YMCA facility as a testing facility, but nothing ever transpired. Community Development Director Michael Grochala explained that under the agreement, which runs from April 5

Kids Cooking School rebrands to Kids Creative School The pandemic has forced the owner of Kids Cooking School to get even more creative. Kids Cooking School, located at 307 Village Parkway in Circle Pines, has rebranded as “Kids Creative School.” This summer, in addition to cooking classes, the business will also offer art and crafts classes. Lino Lakes resident Tiffany Cavegn opened the business in Lino Lakes in February 2017. Cavegn, a chef and health coach, is the founder of a nonprofit organi-
zation, Healthy Strong Kids of Minnesota, whose mission is to provide food assistance to families in need while teaching young people how to cook healthy recipes. After she taught community education classes, she realized there was a need for a local children’s cooking school. The business had to close its doors in September 2018. The Kids Cooking School found a temporary home at Oak Hill Montessori School in Shoreview in 2019. Two weeks before the March 2020 shutdown, Cavegn signed a lease for the school’s new (and current location) in Circle Pines.
“Like everyone, it's been challenging for us. We got just enough federal funding last year to make it through the summer,” Cavegn explained. “Due to the nature of classes, when we had to reduce capacity by 50%, it reduced our revenue but did not reduce our expenses. We are currently running at 50% revenue and 110% expenses when you take on the extra sanitizing required and because students can't share anything, so we have to order more individual ingredients.”

The assault On the Friday following Cinco de Mayo, Jane, 25, went to a bar with some friends for a birthday celebration. They ran into a group of four men. One of the men introduced himself as “Hugo.” “I thought he was creepy but I did think one of his friends was cute, so I continued talking to his friend,” she recalled. Hugo became irate and begin calling Jane vulgar names when she started to pay more attention to his friend. Jane, who was sober, decided to leave the bar and drive the 10 minutes back to her apartment. Once she got home, she was trying to lock the door when she felt resistance and before she knew it there was a man in her apartment. She quickly recognized him as Hugo. He said, “We are going to get to know each other very well.” Jane tried to make it to her bedroom, where she had a 9 mm gun in her nightstand. “When I opened my bedroom door, my dogs rushed out.

They believed we had a visitor and wanted attention. Scared for my dogs and knowing I couldn’t protect them and go for my gun, I froze,” she recalled. “Before I could get any further into my bedroom, he rushed me and slammed the door behind him. He grabbed me by the hair on the back of my head and shoved me on my bed. I remember thinking God, please don’t let him rape me.” When the assault was over and Hugo had left, Jane did the one thing you are not supposed to do after a sexual assault: she showered. “I felt so gross and sticky. I felt like I smelt like this rancid smell that I could smell coming from him. I felt so disgusting that my fi rst reaction was to get into the shower,” she said. Jane works in criminal law, so she knew once the evidence was gone, there was a very slim-to-no chance that the perpetrator would ever be caught. “I also felt a lot of shame and guilt. I thought it was my fault and that I was going to be blamed for this,” she said. “They won’t see me as a victim, they will just see me as a slut.” Alexandra House Executive Director Connie Moore said, “A lot of times victims won’t report because they are feeling like — somehow — they are responsible for what happened. They feel that if they had done something different it wouldn’t have happened to them, so it is their fault.”

The Shoreview City Council’s June 1 meeting was held exactly one week after George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in police custody in Minneapolis—an anniversary that did not go unnoticed by Shoreview councilmembers. “We’ve had a week like we’ve never seen before and I pray we’ll never see again,” said Mayor Sandy Martin. “We’ve seen the very best, and we’ve seen the very worst of Minnesota citizens.” Floyd died May 25 after former offi Minneapolis police officer ficer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for several minutes while he was handcuffed on the ground. Floyd was arrested after he was accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill at Cup Foods in south Minneapolis. Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Hennepin County. In the days since, Floyd’s death has sparked protests and riots throughout the Twin Cities.

Grass fire burns 118 acres in Lino Lakes LINO LAKES — Fire and police personnel responded to a grass fire adjacent to I-35W at 1:53 p.m. Tuesday, March 30, north of Lake Drive. Fueled by the high winds, the grass fire spread rapidly to the northeast. Based on the location of the ignition site, it is believed that the fire was started by a cigarette that was thrown out of a vehicle. The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department was assisted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as well as the Forest Lake, Spring Lake Park-Blaine-Mounds View, Hugo and White Bear Lake fire departments. The crews remained on scene for about six hours battling the fire, which was followed by hot spots that had to be addressed. The Minnesota DNR also returned the next day to take care of hot spots. The fire burned 118 acres of land and came within 50 feet of two homes. No structures were reported damaged by the fire.

Fire crews responded to a fire at Wild Mountain in Taylors Falls early on March 30, a Tuesday. The fire was in one of the maintenance buildings on the property and was contained by fire crews. No one was injured, but many tools and machinery inside of the building were destroyed, according to Wild Mountain’s Facebook page. The fire reportedly did not affect Wild Mountain’s base lodge or other structures on the property. “Our team will need to assess the damage and begin to formulate a plan to rebuild the structure over the coming months. Additionally, we will need a few days to understand if, or how, this event will affect our summer operations,” Wild Mountain’s Facebook page stated. The Facebook post also said that Wild Mountain representatives feel confident that the fire will not significantly impact winter operations for the 2021-22 season and that the go-karts are safe and sound because they were stored in a different building. “We want to thank all of the neighboring fire and police teams that arrived on the scene this morning. Without them, the outcome may have been far worse,” a Wild Mountain Facebook post said.

Spring migration
S
tepping outside on one of the fi rst nice spring nights is exciting. The owls were partnering up last month and now the loon calls could be heard throughout the weekend. Friend and wildlife photographer Greg Drawbraugh dropped by to check out the birds on this side of the town. Greg has been especially well-known for some fantastic bird photography. In fact, his photograph of a wild tom (turkey) was featured on the front page of this paper last Thanksgiving. He’s often seen birding around Sucker Lake. Recently I ran into him on the bike trail where he had captured a pair of wood ducks. While we were talking he snapped another photo. In a blink Publisher’s of an eye he had taken an image of the Blue-winged View Teal, drake. The lighting Carter Johnson worked and it was a near perfect reflection in the water. As we were talking you could hear geese in the distance and Killdeer in the foreground. Greg mentioned the following birds should be or will be arriving soon: Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Sora, Cormorant, Osprey and Swallows. He mentioned that most of the warblers show up at the end of the month and early May. He also mentioned his fi rst Sora photo was for this area. Spring is here and now is the time to put down the cell phones, get outdoors and take in nature. If you’re interested in birding, there are many good local resources online and programs offered at local parks and nature centers. If you followed a birder, you will find it is different than just going out for a walk and looking around. Birders are often still for what seems an eternity, immersing themselves in the sights and sounds of their surroundings. Patience is key as they watch for a flicker in a tree, a faint movement on the ground, or slightest sound in hopes of taking in a photo or glimpse of the prize. If you’re out biking, running or walking and you see someone gazing off it could birder hot on the trail. Be on the look out, keep your movements slow and stay quiet, as you never know what you might see. It could be a Blackthroated Gray Warbler, owls or even a Roseate Spoonbill. Whether you’re out looking for birds, getting exercise, or simply enjoying the outdoors, always respect private property and be careful of other bikers, walkers or runners as they might be plugged into music or a conversation and not paying attention. Subscription support Thank you for the subscriptions that have come through our spring subscription drive. The kind notes of encouragement and the tips to our youth and adult carriers are always appreciated. I was talking to a young man who is a carrier in Mahtomedi and he said a home on his route had just sold and the new owners had no idea the house had come with a pre-paid subscription. The previous owner had paid it ahead for them. What a nice way to welcome someone to the community. We will always work to provide great news coverage. Look for more updates on our efforts to increase the ratio of subscribers. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Welcome to spring
e are entering the home stretch of the 2021 legislative session. With about six weeks remaining until final adjournment on May 17, I am focused on issues that are important to our district and our state. There is a lot of work to get done in these final weeks as the House still needs to pass the entirety of its budget, and then reach an agreement with the Republicanled Senate and Gov. Walz on a final agreement that can be signed into law. Unfortunately, the pace of work Legislator has been slow here in St. Paul. Lingo In fact, through Donald Raleigh the first 10 weeks of session, the House had passed just 10 bills. This is the fewest at that point in session since at least 1995 — as far back as records are available on the House website. This slow pace is especially disappointing when there is so much we should be doing to help Minnesotans that have been harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. That is why last week, House Republicans tried to bring four bills that need immediate attention to the House floor for votes. These four bills included exempting forgiven business owner Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) loan income from state taxes; pandemic-related Unemployment Insurance tax elimination for our workers; funding in-person summer school and mental health programming for our struggling students; and funding for mutual aid agreements between law enforcement agencies that respond to emergencies. On the PPP issue, Minnesota remains the only state in the Upper Midwest skimming tax dollars off emergency forgiven loans provided to businesses by the federal government to keep people on the payroll. Sadly, all four bills failed due to a lack of support from the Majority party. As we look ahead to April and May, much of our time will be fi lled with long floor debates on omnibus finance bills that fund state government for the next two years. Every dollar taken by the state in taxes is a dollar not being put towards paychecks for employees and keeping the doors open at Main Street businesses. The most recent budget forecast that came out in early March will help inform this discussion. This updated budget outlook revealed that Minnesota is projected to have a $1.6 billion surplus. This is a significant improvement from the $1.3 billion deficit that was projected in December.
With a substantial budget surplus, over $2 billion in the state’s budget reserves, and billions more coming from the federal government thanks to the latest COVID-19 relief bill, it would make sense to fund Minnesotans’ priorities and provide tax relief. House Democrats and Gov. Walz have other plans, however, as they are both pushing for increased taxes that will impact Minnesotans of all income levels. This approach makes zero sense at a time when state government is flush with cash and Minnesotans continue to suffer because of the pandemic and associated shutdowns. Massive tax increases will only slow the state’s economic recovery. I am hopeful that the pace will accelerate, and that we will reach consensus on a new budget and other issues that must be addressed before adjournment. I remain committed to fully protecting workers and businesses from unnecessary tax hikes and ensuring that government is not profiting off relief dollars intended to help Minnesotans. I am eager to hear your thoughts and I would encourage you to share your concerns with me. My email is rep.donald.raleigh@ house.mn, and you can reach me at 651-296-2907. Be well, stay safe, and I look forward to hearing from you. Donald Raleigh is the state representative for District 38A.

VACCINATION SITE: Lino Lakes enters into agreement with state FROM PAGE 1
through June 30, the state has agreed to pay up to $81,099 for use of the facility. The rental fee accounts for base rent, utility and cleaning costs, as well as minor building alterations. As of now, Grochala said the hours will likely be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the weekends, but all of that is subject to change. The site is meant to serve as a regional center for residents of Anoka County, Washington County and perhaps some of Ramsey County. Mayor Rob Rafferty and Council Member Christopher Lyden wanted to know how the base rent was calculated. Grochala explained that they based it off of the current lease rate they have with New Creations Child Care and Learning Center, which leases space at City Hall. He said it came out to be about $10 per square foot, or $37,000 total over the three months. Council Member Michael Ruhland wanted an update on how the state
of Minnesota is doing in terms of vaccines administered. Wallerstedt noted that since she is on the operations side of setting up vaccine sites, she is not up to date on the latest numbers. “What I can tell you,” she explained, “is that we are working to get our vaccines out the doors within seven days of getting them into the state.” Other council members wanted to know the likelihood of the state needing the facility beyond June 30. Wallerstedt said that has yet to be determined. But by June 30, she noted, they are projecting they will be able to get a lot of vaccines out to members of the population that want it. The City Council is still waiting for the final feasibility study report from Isaac Sports Group (ISG) for the future operations of the YMCA facility. The report is now expected in mid-April. Council Member Dale Stoesz wanted to know whether the city would be able to start prepping the aquatics area of the building in June for the next tenant. Wallerstedt said the city would have access to the
BUSINESS BRIEF
facility, and that there would just need to be an open line of communication between the state and the city so patient privacy is protected. Council Member Tony Cavegn wanted to know who will work at the vaccination site. Wallerstedt explained that the state’s vendor, a company called Specialists, already has local medical staff lined up to work at the site. The layout of the vaccination site was not fully decided as of press time. Wallerstedt said the state is still weighing the pros and cons for different layout options. She said the state will likely have one-way flow of traffic throughout the building, and also considering ADA-accessible ramps to allow an exit out of the gym or multipurpose room. Although things are very much still in motion, Grochala estimated that the site would be operational later this week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
One community, one world I deeply, sincerely appreciate the Quad Community Press providing our local community the forthright, open, honest, personal story provided by Mr. Daniel Bliss in his guest column. My hope and request is that all readers take in the pain he and too many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are dealing with being aimed at them. Many times a day—collectively. No doubt perpetrated by, highly likely, white people of various ages. Think about this. Talk about it with friends and family. This has to end! We are all one community, one world. Personally, my own family has Asian American members. One of whom (if not more) did experience receiving the same harassment Mr. Bliss shared. I can relate to their pain. And their instant recognition how unthinking and/ or ignorant the speaker was.

WEEKLY WAG Tippy is a happy 1-year-old Labrador/ cattle dog mix who loves to play. If you have a fenced backyard, or if you are active and like walks and dog parks, Tippy is your gal. She likes big dogs and small dogs and toys of all kinds. She’s affectionate, eventempered and goofy. She loves attention, SUBMITTED but she also likes when she can just hang out and look out the window. She’s submissive and a bit mouthy and jumpy when she plays, but her foster family works with her daily to improve her manners. Tippy loves to go on daily walks and her leash training is getting better with every stroll. She likes to be outside with her two doggie foster siblings, and she roams around with them all day inside, too. Tippy is good around adults and older kids. She’s not been around cats, but her foster believes she’d probably just try to play with them. If you have an active lifestyle, or have a social, single dog at home looking for a fun, playful sister, Tippy would make a great companion. If you are interested in Tippy, please fill out an adoption application at ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

PANDEMIC WEDDINGS: Can still be ‘memory of a lifetime’ FROM PAGE 1
Lund explained that after the couple had worked out most of the details for their ceremony, the venue let go of its wedding planner and the general manager took over. “We reached out to try to square away all of the details we had organized with the other gal,” she said. “We were not getting very clear answers, and we were getting a lot of pushback.” Lund said they were told they would need to change their menu, so they asked some questions and inquired about menu prices and were ultimately told, “It’s probably best you cancel your event.” At one point, Lund says the manager told them he didn’t see the point of them having such a small wedding (around 20 people). “It was super unprofessional what the guy was saying and how he was conducting himself … How did this escalate from clarifying some things to ‘it’s best if (you) just cancel?’” Kieger said. Lund added, “I was devastated ... I went from being super sad to super mad.” The very next day after they were told to cancel, the couple left on a planned ski trip up north. While they were gone, Lund’s mother and sister sprang into action and found another venue that was much closer to home and — miraculously — available on April 30. The couple will get married at Como Park Zoo in St. Paul, and their reception will be at Tria in North Oaks. “The whole thing ended up being a blessing,” Lund explained. Lund and Kieger offered advice to couples who are planning weddings during the pandemic. “Have communication with your venue; it can help to ease your mind with planning and make you excited to get married. Unanswered questions or delays between communication can cause unneeded stress as your wedding approaches. Even if your wedding is looking different than what you may have dreamed of, it will always be the memory of a

lifetime ... and it is something to be celebrated, even in a pandemic.”
Jordan and Rob Jordan Bergman-Rushton and Rob Rushton had been planning their big day for two years when the pandemic hit and threatened to change everything. Bergman-Rushton is a 2011 White Bear Lake grad and Rushton is from Wisconsin. They became engaged in October 2018. The St. Paul residents were planning marry on Aug. 15, 2020 at a family cabin. A large reception was planned for the following weekend at Kellerman’s Event Center in White Bear Lake. The couple decided to still get married on that date with immediate friends and family members but postponed their reception. “We just tried to be as safe as possible,” BergmanRushton said. “I made everyone wedding-themed masks, and we gave everyone hand sanitizer.” The one thing the couple was really stressing about was whether their grandparents would be able to attend the ceremony. Thankfully, one set of grandparents was able to be there for their special day. “Just to be surrounded by family, maybe it was because of COVID, but it felt even more special that they were there. We were feeling the love,” she said.

Chris Kieger and Molly Lund will get married at Como Park Zoo later this month.
“These people were risking their lives to celebrate this day with my husband and I.” This August, the couple hopes they will be able to gather with around 150 family and friends at Kellerman’s for their postponed reception. Bergman-Rushton said if the pandemic has taught her anything, it is to be flexible, especially when planning events. “Be flexible, things change all the time,” she explained. “Even if it doesn’t go exactly how you had envisioned, it is still going to be a really great day.” Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

CREATIVE SCHOOL: Now equipped for food, art classes FROM PAGE 1
Every year, Cavegn starts planning summer camps in the fall. At that time, it was unclear whether the same COVID-10 restrictions and protocols would be in place. She began brainstorming ways to increase revenue to avoid closing the business for a second time. “The stars aligned,” and Kids Creative School received a grant from Anoka County to help launch Cavegn’s latest ideas, an art studio and outdoor classroom. “I have been wanting to expand our classes to include unusual arts and crafts, the kind you see on Pinterest but not in your typical art classrooms,” she explained. One of the tenants down the hall from Kids Creative School closed its doors, so the landlord offered Cavegn the space on a month-to-month basis. That new space will allow the business to increase its space. However, Cavegn doesn’t have the capacity to add more cooking stations. Even if the 50% capacity restriction is loosened this summer, Cavegn said there will likely still be capacity limits to make sure social distancing can be maintained. Students likely won’t be able to share ingredients or cook stations. Summer camps include: Food Around the World, Breakfast Buffet, Camping Cuisine, Mad About Macarons, Crazy about Cupcakes, Italian Favorites and more. Art camps, many of which will incorporate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts, will include: Sparkling Mosaic Art, Acrylic & Resin Pours, 3D Printing, Hogwarts Paper Models and Craft My Crazy.
Miss your Envelope?
The school attracts students from various school districts, including Centennial, White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Forest Lake, Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, Roseville, Maplewood/North Saint Paul/Oakdale and St. Paul. Hugo resident Michelle Allshouse’s son Dylan, a fifth grader, has attended classes at the school for a few years. “He has always liked helping me in the kitchen. He is more of a creative person and isn’t into sports as much,” Allshouse explained. “I asked him if he would be interested in trying a class. He really liked it, so he just kept doing it.” Even though Dylan is a regular student at the cooking school, he is still able to find new classes that interest him. “He loves Chef Tiffany, and it’s not the same thing over and over again,” she said. “He loves going and meeting new friends. It keeps him busy.” Dylan recently took a cupcakes and hot cocoa bomb class and soon plans to take another class on macarons. This summer, he is also signed up for the Italian Favorites camp. Allshouse said she hasn’t yet asked Dylan whether he wants to try out some of the arts and crafts type of classes, but she guesses he will. Kids Creative School plans to host an open house from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 11, so families can visit the cooking and art studio space, meet staff and try out some of the projects. To sign up for a time slot, or to learn more about the business, visit kidscreativeschool.org. Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Cougars in state semifinals after winning round three over Elks BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
CENTENNIAL BASKETBALL Jodi Anderson is the leading scorer on the Centennial basketball team that’s 21-1 and has reached the state semifinals. The 5-11 senior guard is averaging 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, two assists and 2.6 steals. She’s a clutch free throw shooter, making 104 of 127 for 82%. Signed by North Dakota, she has been all-conference since 10th grade, has 1,290 career points, will play in the coaches’ state all-star game, and has a 3.935 GPA. “When we need a basket or a stop, we rely on Jodi, and she usually steps up to the plate,” coach Jamie Sobolik said. “She is the heart of this team. She has a tremendous work ethic and is the ideal player for young players to learn from and emulate.”

The all-important rubber game went to Centennial. The Cougars toppled conference arch rival Elk River 63-51 last Tuesday evening in the first round of the state girls basketball tournament, sending them to the semifinals Wednesday against Rosemount. Jodi Anderson delivered 24 points, nine rebounds, four assists and four steals as the No. 7 ranked Cougars won round three over the No. 5 Elks. The conference rivals had split two games in the regular season, and each team beat everyone else they played. Marisa Frost and Jenna Guyer scored 11 each, Camille Cummings 10, Sydney Kubes five and Haley Mulberry two.
For Elk River, Elly Bahr sank 14 points, and Jordan Langbehn and Johanna Langbehn 11 points each. “We knew it was going to be a challenge, but we also knew if we stuck to our game plan we’d be able to come out with a win,” Anderson said. They focused, she said, on limiting open looks by 6-foot-2 post Langbehn, and having “quality possessions” on offense to reduce turnovers. “And it paid off.” Centennial (21-1) faces Rosemount (193) in the semifinals Wednesday, 9 p.m., at Target Center. Centennial’s big edge came at the free throw line as they made 23 of 28 while the Elks were 3-for-7. Anderson was 11-for-13. The Cougars had six fouls and the Elks had 21.
The Elks (19-2) kept the pressure on with three-point shooting — they made 10 of 24 — and a 33-28 rebound edge. The Cougars led 8-0 and 12-5 with back-to-back three’s from Kubes and Cummings and a blow-by layup by Anderson. Another 8-0 run, with a 3-point play by Guyer and 3-point shot by Cummings, opened a 22-11 lead. The Elks got hot from long range and caught up 24-24. The Cougars pulled away 33-26 at the half with Frost sinking a pair of 3-pointers. The Cougars were up 41-28 before the Elks got hot behind the arc again and closed to 46-41. Anderson sank two free
shots and a 3-pointer for a 10-point lead. After that, the Cougars made 10 of 12 free shots to keep the Elks at bay. “We started to have sloppy moments in the second half when Elk River started picking up the aggressiveness on defense and looking to trap,” said coach Jamie Sobolik. “It was reminding me of the second half of our Spring Lake Park game, but we were able to get the timidness out of the girls, get them to start being the aggressors on offense. We were able to get open looks and get to the free throw line.”
Easter eggs spring up in Golden Lake Park

The Circle Pines Lexington Lions, Centennial Utilities, American Legion Post 566, Centennial Fire District, Lexington Fire and the Centennial Lakes Police Department were determined to make the annual Easter egg hunt at Golden Lake Park in Circle Pines happen. Although the event looked quite different this year, families were still able to participate in a much-missed tradition. The Easter bunny also made an appearance, but he was sure to keep a safe distance.
