O

ne of history’s most solemn days, Memorial Day is an American holiday that honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. In May 1868, Gen. John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Union veterans’ group known as the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a decree that May 30 should become a nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the recently ended Civil War. On Decoration Day, as Logan dubbed it, Americans should lay flowers and decorate the graves of the war dead “whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” According to legend, Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that didn’t fall on the anniversary of a Civil War battle, though some historians believe the date was selected to ensure that flowers across the country would be in full bloom. Today Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. The American flag should be hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff. And since 2000, when the U.S. Congress passed legislation, all Americans are encouraged to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time.

Sivarajah selected as Anoka county administrator but said he was willing to stick around a bit longer if the county needed him to do so. On April 9, the board unanimously approved a resolution (Sivarajah abstained) to defi ne the search process. The resolution stated the employee relations department would be responsible to create an internal 10-day job posting. The resolution also established a subcommittee of three county board members to interview candidates. The subcommittee included County Board Vice Chair Scott Schulte (District 7), Management Committee Chair Robyn West (District 3) and Commissioner Mike

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Following a 4-2 vote May 14, Rhonda Sivarajah, current Anoka District 6 county commissioner, was appointed to the county's top position. Sivarajah abstained from voting and did not participate in discussion. Since March 26, the Anoka County Board has met three times — twice in regular session and once in a work session — to discuss how to proceed with selecting the county's next administrator. County Administrator Jerry Soma announced he would retire May 1 after eight years in the position,

“My scoresheet was as clear as it could be. I went in with an open mind, but there was a candidate that rose to the top, and that was Sivarajah.” Scott Schulte County Board Vice Chair

Gamache (District 5). Commissioner Mandy Meisner (District 4) said she would not support Sivarajah’s appointment to the position. “The county administrator for Anoka County is the top staff position in the fourth-largest county in the state. This person supervises all department heads and is ultimately responsible for 2,000 employees and managing a $300 million budget,” she said. “As a commissioner (who) was not part of the interview process, I did have limited access to the information, and because Commissioner Gamache recommended a different candidate, I cannot support this resolution.” The county received 24 applications for the position, six of which met the minimum requirements, Meisner explained. The top six

candidates were interviewed by the subcommittee and the top three who scored high enough on 13 questions were added to the eligibility list. In addition to Sivarajah, Brad Thiel, Economic Assistance Department director, and Cindy Cesare, Human Services Division manager, also made the cut. “Commissioner Gamache spoke highly of all three candidates. He was impressed with Cesare and Thiel's education and years of management experience. Sivarajah also comes with many good qualities that are not necessarily the best fit for this role,” Meisner said. “Sivarajah has been a strong commissioner since 2003 and a strong board chair since 2011 and I respect her work,” Meisner continued. “The top elected official does not and should not necessari-

ly and automatically qualify you to have the top staff position. This alone, as they say, doesn't quite pass the smell test.” Although Gamache said he appreciates the process the board came up with, he still had some concerns. “It is a different job between being a county commissioner and being a county administrator. I know we all sit on different boards and are involved in different groups; we all get some good experience, I just don't know if we get that type of experience,” he said. “I thought all three candidates did a great job ... Each of the candidates had their own strengths and some had a little more weakness in other areas. The candidate that I saw as the most experienced and that I thought could step in today would have been Cesare.”

Rhonda Sivarajah

Schulte said that after going through the process, he still felt Sivarajah was the best fit. “My scoresheet was as clear as it could be. I went in with an open mind, but there was a candidate that rose to the top, and that was Sivarajah.” West said the process worked well. “I very much appreciated the questions and the way the questioning was done. It made me feel very confident that I could keep my mind open,” she said. “… Sivarajah’s experience, knowledge, skills and leadership cover SEE SIVARAJAH, PAGE 3

a broader area of the many different facets in Anoka County.” Following an expression of interest on the part of several board members to discuss the terms of the employment contract, County Attorney Tony Palumbo said it would be appropriate to do so at the board’s next meeting, May 28. After Sivarajah formally resigns from her position as county commissioner, the board will declare a vacancy on the board. If two or fewer candidates fi le for the seat, a special election will be held Nov. 5. If more than two candidates

fi le, the November date will serve as a special primary election; the special general election would then be held Feb. 11, 2020.

Who might fill the vacant seat?

Lino Lakes Mayor Jeff Reinert said he is seriously considering running for county commissioner. “Over the last few weeks I have been contacted by several people associated with the county who brought this situation to my attention. All of them encouraged me to run for the open position if it became available, based on my 20-plus years of experience and good record,” he said.

“It would not be an easy decision to run, because I love representing the residents of Lino Lakes as their mayor. However, if I ran, I could continue to do a lot of good things for Lino Lakes and its neighboring cities as a county commissioner.” When contacted by the Quad Community Press, Circle Pines Mayor Dave Bartholomay, Centerville Mayor Jeff Paar and Lexington Mayor Mark Kurth all said they would not run for the District 6 seat.

Sivarajah looks forward to continuing ‘good work’ BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Commissioner Rhonda Sivarajah will be the fi rst woman to serve in the role of county administrator in Anoka County. Sivarajah has worked for the county for nearly 29 years. Before being elected to the county board in 2002, Sivarajah held the roles of income maintenance specialist, income maintenance program manager and managed care liaison. In 2011, Sivarajah was selected by her board colleagues to serve as board chair, a position she has held each year since then. Fast-forward to 2019: Sivarajah says she is ready for a new challenge. “This is my 17th year in elected office. I am ready to really move out of that elected/political position and into a different type of leadership role. I am at the point where I am ready for a new challenge,” she said. “I think that I have that unique background that will help me in managing a large county organization; I will be able to really understand things from different perspectives because I've been there.” As county administrator, Sivarajah will now report to the county board. She said that will not be a problem. “In the early days of my career, I became a supervisor. I actually requested to go back to being a frontline worker, just because it would better meet the needs of my family. I have made that transition

before, and I didn't have a problem making that transition,” she explained. “I think for some people, they get into positions and it is about power, and it has never been about that for me,” she said. “It is really about good government and making sure that we are serving the residents in the most effective and efficient way as possible and providing quality services. This will give me an opportunity to be involved in a different way and be able to continue to do good work on behalf of the residents of Anoka County, which really has been my entire career.” In addition to her variety of roles within the county, Sivarajah said all the connections she has made along the way, both in the county and statewide, will help her be successful. “Many of us across the state face some of the same challenges in county government; learning from colleagues is important and getting that input and perspective,” she said. “None of us have the market on ideas. This county board is very diverse, but when we all bring our ideas together, we come up with a much better product in the end.” The Circle Pines resident is looking forward to the challenges the new role brings. “The thing I believe I am going to love about this position is it gives me that opportunity to continue to grow as a person, because that is one of the things I have always valued.”

Love for Minnesota

D

ALE KURSCHNER WRITES an editor’s note in a past issue of Twin Cities Business to make the point of why Minnesota is the best place to live. He comments that our state has many significant top 10 rankings, plus the theater of seasons. For example, Minnesota is one of only 13 major metropolitan areas with five major sports teams. Many of the major metropolitan areas are near lakes and beautiful locations. Few of them have anything quite as close as Lake Minnetonka. I would brag about White Bear Lake as well. Other factors note that Minneapolis consistently ranks among the best cities for live theater, along with New York and Boston, but only the Mill City has more theater seats per capita than any other U.S. city About the after New York. According to Travel and Town Leisure’s America’s Best Cities Gene Johnson for Foodies, the Twin Cities comes in just behind four other cities, which are Houston; Providence, Rhode Island; Kansas City and Atlanta. The Twin Cities also gets a high rating for the best chefs in the nation. In Minnesota, we love our lakes and we love our boats. Kurschner says according to statistics we own 800,900 boats, the second highest percentage of boats per capita in the country after Florida. We are also the largest turkey producer in the nation, second largest in hogs, sixth in cheese and honey and eighth in milk. In other areas of agriculture, we lead other states in sugar beets, second in wild rice, fourth in corn, soybeans and fl ax seeds. The Minnesota State Fair season is around the corner and I think everyone knows we have the best and largest daily attendance of any other state fair in the country. We might not have the best or most golf courses, but we have the most golfers per capita. We are still behind in bike trails, but we are also considered the second friendliest state. I might add our taxes are quite high, the DNR is crazy with regulations and our motorists love to drive alone in a car. We have plenty of deer for hunting. The Dakotas are more inviting for pheasants. Fishing is still good in the state, but Ontario is becoming more and more inviting. We have great parks, campsites and hiking trails and the year-round beauty of the seasons is breathtaking. The air is clean except for occasional forest fi re smoke from Western United States and Canada. Don’t forget to take time and enjoy it. NEWSPAPER HEADLINES CAN make you laugh. My publisher friend from Custer, S.D., Charley Najacht, sent me several that tickled my funny-bone. Here they are: “Governor says new Bay Bridge won’t open until it’s ready.” “Woman falls in hospital, told to call ambulance.” “County to pay $250,000 to advertise lack of funds.” “Seventeen remain dead in morgue shooting spree.” “Tight end returns after colon surgery.” “Death is nation’s top killer.” “Cow urine makes for juicy lemons.” Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications

Probation and Parole

ou have probably heard the terms probation and parole. Both the news and entertainment media tend to use the terms interchangeably. While they are similar in many ways, they are actually different concepts under the law. To better understand the word “probation,” it is helpful to know that it comes from the Movers & same root word as does the word Shakers probate. Probate court, is a place Greg Galler where a will is proved or tested to ensure that it is what it purports to be. Similarly, in criminal court, probation means a period of “test or trial.” Whenever a probationary term exists, it is a period of time to see how something will work before something else may happen. For example, you may have started a new job and been placed on probation. This was to test what type of employee you would be before extending you a full offer of employment. It was a test period where you had to prove yourself.

Similarly, in Minnesota, a person convicted of a crime could be placed on probation instead of being sent to jail or prison to test if they can follow specified rules. The person must prove that they can be trusted and will not get into trouble. If they fail the test, they will be incarcerated. The word parole comes from a different starting point. Parole means a pledge or promise. It comes from a Latin (and later French) term used for prisoners of war who, in exchange for increased liberty, pledged not to escape or to take up arms against the country that had captured them. In today’s world, the word refers to the promise given by a convicted felon to be of good behavior if released early from prison and restored, at least partly, to liberty. Parole applies to a time period after someone has already been convicted and was serving time in prison. A person is paroled when given an early release from prison. That release is conditioned on the person’s promise, or pledge, that they will follow the rules of society and will not get into trouble. Probation and parole sometimes get mixed up because their terms of compliance can be very similar. Terms could include: keeping a job, going to

school, remaining law abiding, staying away from alcohol and drugs, paying restitution and not associating with certain specified people. Similarly, each is supervised by either a probation officer or a parole officer. Their level of supervision depends on a number of factors including their personal history and the seriousness of their underlying conviction. Both probation and parole also only partially restore liberty. Supervising officers, without a warrant, can inspect their homes and demand tests to insure that they are free of illegal substances. For each group, public policy makers have determined that some folks, who are most likely to follow the rules, should not be incarcerated. This is done to promote those people being productive in society and to save on the costs of incarceration. Judge Galler is chambered in Washington County. If you have a general question about the law or courts for Judge Galler, send your question to the editor of this newspaper.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Blind spot

Most people are unaware of the predicament they will be in if a water main breaks and it causes property damage. We have been going through this devastating experience and have found that the city will not cover any of the damage. We had a break on Feb. 1 caused by a rusted cap. The main caused a mudslide into our garage and yard. It washed out soil around our house and from under the driveway. Our neighbor has sinkholes in their yard. The water was rapid and went on for about 1.5 to 2 hours because they had trouble finding the shutoff. It shot into our neighbors’ fi replace and went into their house. It also ruined our neighbor's pool.

as a flood, if you had flood insurance, because it isn’t a flood. So really, the risk for the city is zero and it’s 100% for the homeowner. People could lose their homes — it has happened. Our cul-de-sac is not repaired yet, and the city will be digging up the road to repair the damage from the repair in February. We just had our sewer lines videoed to see if there was damage from all the washout. The damage continues. This needs to change. I would be willing to pay extra for this type of coverage, but it doesn’t exist.

The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) came to assess the damage and said that there was no negligence, so the homeowner has to pay for all of the damage. Everyone we talk with is incredulous that the city doesn’t cover anything. LMCIT said since it was installed to code in 1990, the city has no liability, and it refuses to pay for any of the damage. We are told the League is there to protect the taxpayers ... I guess that is at the expense of other taxpayers. This is a risk that is infrequent and so most people are unaware of the “rules� the city applies. Our insurance company said it is surface water and isn’t covered. It wouldn’t be covered

Cougar softball heads into sectionals 15-4

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Cougar catcher Julia Azure had a five-RBI game against Elk River.

Centennial softball closed the regular season last week, facing two of the top teams in the Northwest Suburban Conference (NWSC) on successive evenings, with markedly different results. The Cougars drubbed Elk River 13-1 there Monday, May 13, then got shut down by first-place Maple Grove 3-0 on Tuesday evening during a conference jamboree in Coon Rapids. The Cougars, 15-4 overall, finished NWSC with a 10-4 mark for fifth place among 14 teams. Maple Grove is 12-1, Anoka 11-3, Champlin Park 11-3 and Elk River 10-3. The Cougars slugged three homers at Elk River. Julia Azure went 4-for-4 with a homer and two doubles, knocking in

five runs. Madi Newman was 3-for-4 (homer, two doubles, three RBI), Alyssa Montero 2-for-4 (homer, two RBI), Abby Lohse 2-for-4 (three runs) and Olivia Trettel 2-for-3. Montero pitched all five innings, allowing three hits, striking out five. Maple Grove’s Ava Dueck dominated the game Tuesday. After striking out three batters with bases loaded in the first inning, she proceeded to rack up 14 strikeouts in six innings, while delivering all the runs with two home runs off Montero. The game was called in the sixth, due to lightning. Centennial had just five hits. The Cougars started Section 5AAAA on Monday as defending champions, facing Irondale and seeded No. 3.

Against two top rivals last week, the senior attacker and co-captain had a goal and assist in a 7-6 win over Maple Grove, and three goals in a 10-6 win over Blaine. “Garrett plays hard and doesn’t shy away from taking shots in important situations,” coach Jon Beach said. “He understands the game well and controls the pace when needed.” Hoch was also the top scorer on the 2018 team that reached the state tournament.

Centennial boys lacrosse beat two of its top conference rivals last week, both on the road, to pull into a tie for first place in the Northwest Suburban. Extending their win streak to 10, the Cougars (10-1) handed Maple Grove its first conference loss, 7-6, on Monday, and dealt Blaine its second conference loss, 10-6, on Wednesday. In conference, Centennial is 9-1, Irondale 8-1, Maple Grove 8-1, Blaine 7-2 and Elk River/Zimmerman 7-3 for the top five slots among 13 teams. “Against Maple Grove, the team had some struggles throughout the game, but scored when it mattered most,” coach Jon Beach said. Reese Peck Cowles delivered the game-winner with 48 seconds left. Jordan Rodriguez had two goals and two assists, and Garrett Hoch had one of each. Against Blaine, Hoch notched three goals and was “a difference maker” in the second half, Beach said. The coach cited Xan Brouillet and Devon Pulido for “stopping the best face-off guy in the conference,”controlling the pace and scooping up ground balls. Andreas Branscher was the goalkeeper in both wins. The Cougars will close conference play this week against Spring Lake Park on Monday and Totino-Grace on Wednesday, both at home. The defending Section 7 champions will start playoffs May 28.

For example, you might have said that you wanted to pay for most of your children’s college educations, or that you wanted to retire at a certain age, or that you wanted to travel for two months each year during your retirement.

If you watch the markets closely everyday and track their impact on your investments, you may find yourself fretting considerably over your investments’ value and wondering if you are taking on too much investment risk for your comfort level. Conversely, if you think that during an extended period of market gains your own portfolio appears to be lagging, you might feel that you should be investing more aggressively, which entails greater risk.

How to maximize your social security benefits without breaking the rules

he Social Security rule book is so long, complex and ever-changing that even Social Security employees don’t understand it all. And among the trickiest questions are those related to the death of a spouse. So we went to one of the most knowledgeable Social Security experts in the country and asked for answers to some of the thorniest questions that widowed Social Security recipients often ask. His answers can help you maximize your benefits without breaking tricky rules and potentially losing money… My wife died after I started my Social Security benefits. Can I now suspend my benefits and claim widower’s benefits based on my late wife’s earnings so that my own benefits can increase until I claim them at age 70? (My benefits are larger than my wife’s.) These sorts of situations come up all the time. Unfortunately, in this case the answer is no—once you begin taking your own retirement benefits, you cannot suspend them and claim a widower’s benefit instead. There is one potential way around this. If no more than 12 months has passed since you began receiving your benefits, you have the option of withdrawing your application for retirement benefits by filing form SSA521 and repaying all of the benefits you have thus far received (including any benefits paid

to your children or late wife based on your earnings history). If you do that, it’s like you never applied for your benefits in the first place, freeing you to claim widower’s benefits until you reach age 70, at which point your own benefits will reach their maximum level (aside from future cost-of-living adjustments). You are limited to no more than one application withdrawal of this type for your entire life. My husband died decades ago when we were quite young. I’m now nearing retirement age. Can I collect widow’s benefits based on his earnings even though he was in the workforce only a few years? You probably can. This comes as a surprise to some people because wage earners typically need at least 10 years in the workforce to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, but different rules apply with the benefits of a widow or widower. The younger the age at which the spouse died, the less work history that is required. The system for calculating this is complex, but as few as six “credits” can be all that’s needed when a spouse dies young—and six credits can be earned in less than two full working years. There are a few caveats worth noting, though. To be eligible for widow’s benefits, you must have been married to your late spouse for at least nine months prior to

Charitable giving: Where head and heart meet How can a person support organizations that help people in need? Some may choose to give their time and abilities through volunteer service while others may provide financial support. Charitable giving provides an opportunity to engage both your head and your heart in making a difference. The following tips can help donors make the most of their charitable gifts: What’s the purpose and impact. Never give to an organization without first knowing its purpose and effectiveness. Does it align with your personal values and goals? The BBB Wise Giving Alliance or Charity Navigator can help you evaluate your options. Budget for donations. Systematic gifts spread throughout the year may help donors give more than if they give a one-time gift based on their financial leftovers. Keep good records. To deduct donations for tax purposes, people must keep an appropriate record of their contributions1. The type and value of one’s gift may require specific forms of acknowledgement from the recipient organization. For details, see Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 526. Take advantage of tax benefits. In order for a charitable donation to be tax-deductible, the charity must be recognized by the IRS as a qualified organization. Most organizations can confirm their status or you can verify independently at IRS.gov. Give generously and wisely. From wills, living trusts, donor advised funds, charitable gift annuities, endowments and mini-foundations, to gifts of appreciated stock, retirement accounts or real estate, there are many vehicles through which individuals can make charitable gifts. Some of these are better for lifetime giving while others are better for giving through your estate at death. Special care should be given when determining the option that meets one’s financial circumstances. Gifting some assets to IRS-recognized charities may potentially reduce capital gains tax or income tax. Life insurance may also be an excellent option to magnify a gift or to replace wealth for family after making a large planned gift to a charity. Consult with experts. Always consult with a financial, legal and/or tax professional before putting a gifting plan into action. When moved to make a difference, donors should remember there are many options for making a financial gift. Just be sure to explore the options and enlist the appropriate professional support along the way. By fully planning a charitable gift, a person can ensure their head and their heart are satisfied. A couple local community foundations making impact and that provide various planned giving solutions are the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation and InFaith Community Foundation.

his death. (This nine-month requirement is waived if the spouse died in active military service or under certain other circumstances.) And you must not currently be remarried unless you did not remarry until you were at least 60 years old. I’m about to reach my full retirement age of 66, but I had been planning to wait until age 70 to start Social Security to get as much as possible each month. However, my husband passed away, and my widow’s benefit would be larger than my own benefit. Should I put off claiming my widow’s benefit until age 70, too? No. Unlike your own benefit, widow’s benefits never grow any larger than they are when you reach your full retirement age. There is no upside to delaying claiming a widow’s benefit any longer than that, and there is considerable downside to doing so—you would miss out on four years of monthly benefits. I know my monthly Social Security retirement benefits will be less if I start collecting as soon as I become eligible at age 62 rather than wait until my full retirement age. But if I switch to a widow’s benefit based on my late husband’s benefit when I reach full retirement age, will that be reduced, too, because I started my own benefit early? He waited until his full retirement age before claiming. Your plan to claim your own benefits now and switch to widow’s benefits later sounds reasonable. Here’s why: If you were to claim your widow’s benefit before you reach full retirement age, you would not receive your late husband’s full benefit even though he waited until his full retirement age to start claiming. Instead, it would be permanently reduced because you took it early. By waiting until your full retirement age to claim the widow’s benefit, you will receive his full benefit even though you started your own benefit early. My first marriage ended with my husband’s death, and my second ended in divorce. Will I be able to claim a widow’s benefit based on my first husband’s earnings?

You probably can, as long as your first marriage lasted at least nine months. As you might already know, remarrying before you turn age 60 typically negates the right to claim a widow’s benefit based on an earlier marriage. But if you are no longer married, you once again are entitled to receive your widow’s benefit from your first marriage. Social Security Marital Benefits Without the Wedding You might be entitled to widow’s or spousal Social Security benefits even if you never actually wed your partner. The Social Security Administration recognizes common-law marriages—marriages where there was no official marriage ceremony or license but the couple lived together for an extended period as if married. But it does so only if the common-law marriage is recognized under the laws of the state where the Social Security recipient and his/her partner reside, or previously resided together, or if common-law marriages were recognized by the state when they lived there. Commonlaw marriages are recognized in Alabama, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. In several other states, common-law marriages that were entered into before specified dates are recognized. The burden of proof will be on you to establish that the relationship qualifies (or qualified, in the case of widowhood) as a common-law marriage. Bottom line: There are people who qualify for valuable spousal and widow’s benefits despite the fact that they never officially wed—and many of them probably don’t realize it. Source: Laurence J.

5 money mavens reveal their most memorable mistakes average of just 57% of the amount loaned. Mark Germain, CFP, is founder and CEO of Beacon Wealth Management, a financial advisory firm with more than $250 million in assets under management, Hackensack, New Jersey. BWMllc. com

Everyone has made mistakes with money that he/she would rather forget—even some of the country’s shrewdest financial pros. Bottom Line Personal asked five money mavens to recount their most memorable blunders…and what lessons they learned that could be useful to investors and consumers of all ages. Here are their answers…

1

Mistake: I was so reluctant to sell a stock that I turned what should have been a minor loss into an enormous one. In the late 1990s, I invested $50,000 in Bibb Manufacturing Company, a centuryold textile maker that produced bedding and towels for Walmart and other retailers. I had studied the company for months and thought it was a bargain at $12 per share. But something unforeseen happened. The price of cotton soared, driving up costs for textile makers. The stock dipped below my purchase price, but I wasn’t going to be deterred by a little volatility. At every leg down, I didn’t want to admit that I was wrong or turn a loss on paper into a real one, so I came up with sophisticated rationalizations to hang on. By the time I dumped the stock at $6, half my investment was gone. The company never recovered, went bankrupt and was taken over by a competitor. Lesson learned: Don’t make exceptions to a valuable rule. The rule that I violated: When a stock falls 10% below my purchase price, I sell it. No exceptions. Why 10%? That’s the point at which you must start gaining noticeably more (12% in this case) than you lost just to get back to even. My rule doesn’t always work out. Sometimes stocks do bounce back strongly. But it guarantees that I never take a big loss, which is what really ruins investors’ long-term returns because it can take so long to recover.

Mistake: I wasn’t careful enough when I took the required minimum distribution (RMD) from my IRA—and I had to deal with a 50% penalty. A few years ago, I decided to use the money from my RMD, which I’ve been taking since age 70½ (as required by IRS rules), to contribute to my favorite charities. I was careful to follow the rules, requesting that my IRA provider send me nine checks payable to nine different charities. I mailed the checks to the charities well before the deadline of December 31, but I didn’t notice that one charity never sent me back a receipt. In February of the following year, I received a surprise notice from the IRA provider. It turns out that one of the charities had never received (and therefore never cashed) its check, and my IRA provider had added the amount of the check back to my account. That meant I had a shortfall of $500 in my RMD for the year just ended. I quickly got a new check and resent it to the charity, but by the time I did that, I owed the IRS a $250 penalty. Lesson learned: You can’t rely on your financial adviser or brokerage to make sure that you take the correct RMDs from your IRAs and other retirement accounts—or even to tell you

if a requested distribution somehow fails. You should always do a final review in late December to make sure you are in compliance. Good news: The IRS gives seniors a break if an RMD mistake is deemed to be legitimately beyond their control. (For directions on challenging an RMD compliance penalty, go to IRS.gov and search for “IRA Required Minimum Distributions FAQs.”) I appealed my penalty on the notion that a check sent through the US mail should not have failed to arrive. The IRS agreed, and I did not have to pay the penalty, although it cost me months of letter writing, documentation and aggravation.

Mistake: When I gave a close family member a large loan, I thought I was being smart by drawing up a promissory note—but I never considered what I would do if the family member couldn’t pay me back. A relative approached me for a six-figure loan he wanted to use to buy some property. I’m well aware that big loans should be made “official” even among family members, so we went to an attorney and signed a formal loan agreement that said he would pay me back over three years at 6% interest. Unfortunately, my relative got sick and wound up in and out of the hospital for two years, unable to make even minimum payments to me. Even worse, he couldn’t afford to pay the municipal taxes on the property and was at risk of having it confiscated by the city. I had to shell out another $20,000 just to cover his taxes. With the interest and principal payments, plus the additional property-tax loan, what he owed me ballooned. But I wasn’t about to ruin relationships in the family by taking him to court and winning a judgment. My three-year loan has now turned into a 12-year loan that may never be fully paid back. Lesson learned: No matter how businesslike you are, it’s not smart to loan money to family and friends unless you will be OK both financially and emotionally if you are not paid back. A study by Lending Tree found that people who lend money to their relatives get back an

Mistake: I bought a house for the wrong reasons. When I took a new job in Missouri in 2016, I wanted to take advantage of low mortgage interest rates before they might rise. I also wanted to avoid the expense and bother of putting my possessions in storage and having to do a major move twice. Under time pressure before starting the new job, I chose a home after only two days of looking. The professional inspection turned up problems, but my real estate agent convinced me that the issues were minor. I convinced myself that they were manageable because I wanted to feel settled and secure. The house turned out to be a money pit requiring tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. Lesson learned: For much of the past decade, buying instead of renting seemed like a nobrainer. But renting can be more financially efficient in the long run if it gives you the time to do a thorough search and evaluate the realistic costs of owning a home. Recently, rising mortgage rates and high home prices in many areas have made the decision to buy an even more complicated one. The monthly costs of buying and owning a home are up 14% over the past year, more than three times the annual increase in rent rates nationally. Amy J. Schmitz, JD, is the Elwood L.

Mistake: I got an exciting stock tip from a trusted friend and invested without doing my own research. Back in 2010, I invested in a Toronto company called Element 21 that dealt in rare-earth metals. These little-known industrial metals are essential components in electric cars and missile-guidance systems. My friend, who was a very successful businessman, told me that rare-earth metals stocks were about to soar. I was so intrigued that I bought nearly $12,000 worth of shares. But it turns out that Element 21 was a sportsequipment company focused on developing golf clubs using alloys of a rare-earth metal called scandium. Scandium never did revolutionize the golfing industry…and I lost 95% of my investment. Lesson learned: Do your own research about a stock before you invest—even if someone you trust says that it’s a good bet. At the very least, do an online search on the company, read some professional analysis of the stock and understand what could go wrong if you invest. This lets you judge the risk you are taking and whether that risk aligns with your personal goals and needs, something that well-meaning people who feed you stock tips may not be considering.

77 years after his death at Pearl Harbor, a Minnesota WWII veteran's remains come home BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

Sharon DeRaad never got to meet her Uncle Dante; he died during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor years before she was born. But this Memorial Day weekend, she'll drive from Forest Lake to Virginia, Minnesota, to attend his funeral and witness his remains buried alongside those of her grandparents, nearly 80 years after his death. Dante Sylvester Tini was among the 429 sailors and 2,403 Americans who died in the surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor that launched the start of the U.S.’s involvement in World War II. The son of Italian immigrants, Tini, then 19, joined the U.S. Navy after graduating from high school. He served as a Radioman third class aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma and was working in the ship's hull when it capsized after being struck by Japanese torpedoes on Dec. 7, 1941, a date that has since lived in infamy for both the United States and the Tini family. Two weeks after the attacks, Tini's parents, Daniel and Rachel, received a telegram stating that he was missing in action. Rachel's scream, family legend has it, could be heard throughout the neighborhood. The sudden loss of a loved one is always a tragedy, but the lack of closure around Tini's death, DeRaad said, made his family's mourning all that much more difficult and drawn out. “My mom, Alda, who was his sister, just grieved, grieved, grieved for a long time,” DeRaad said. “And my grandma

never really got over it.” Tini had been scheduled to return to Minnesota on Dec. 10 and sent many of his possessions back home in anticipation of his homecoming. Though his belongings, such as his harmonica and accordion, made the return trip safely, he never did. Because Rachel only spoke Italian, Alda often assumed the role of translator, and she frequently found herself explaining Tini's death to her mother over and over again. “Things would come home, and my mom would have to explain to her mom that it didn't mean that Dante was coming home, just that he had previously sent those things back,” DeRaad said. “For years, my nona (Italian for grandmother) never really fully grasped that her son would never, ever come home, especially because the body was never found.”

Keeping memories alive

Though DeRaad and her siblings never knew Tini personally, thanks to the stories their family members told throughout the years, they still feel connected to him. “His memory was always kept alive at our family functions,” said Barb Maki, DeRaad's sister. “It was almost like you wanted to pull up an empty chair for him because it felt like he was going to come in and join at any minute.” “My aunt (Alda) always said he was a really nice-looking Italian boy, and he had many, many girlfriends. He was a bit of a Casanova,” added Renee Proust, DeRaad

and Maki's cousin. “He certainly was never forgotten, thanks to all those stories.”

Scientific advancements lead to closure

Tini's parents and siblings never got the closure they yearned for, but thanks to advancements in forensic science, his nieces and nephews finally will. Tini's remains were among those recovered by Navy personnel between December 1941 and June 1944. Of the 429 casualties aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma, only 35 were identified and later interred in the Halawa and Nu'uanua cemeteries in Hawaii. The others were buried as “unknowns” in mass graves at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Thanks to advocacy on the part of a Pearl Harbor survivor, in the mid2000s, the Defense POW/ MIA Accounting Agency exhumed the remains of the Oklahoma's unknown victims. In 2012, Tini's nieces received calls from the U.S. Navy requesting DNA samples to match what could potentially be their uncle’s remains. “Females tend to be a closer match than male, so they wanted the eldest of his nieces, which would be my sister Rachel, who lives in Albuquerque (New Mexico),” DeRaad said. “She sent a sample of her DNA in, and last summer she got a call saying that it was a one hundred percent match.” Seventy-seven years since the telegram arrived announcing Tini was missing in action, his family was over-

whelmed to finally have closure. “Everybody cried,” Maki said. “When we were contacted for our DNA six, seven years ago, we kind of all hoped this would happen, but when the news finally came, it was such a surprise.” “You can imagine how exciting it was to think that they kept all of these (remains) until all of our forensic studies advanced enough so that there could be a match after all of these years,” DeRaad added. “Everybody had lived for such a long time without getting closure; my mother and her mother never got it ... It's bittersweet that this is finally happening.”

Celebrating a life

On Thursday, May 23, Tini's remains will be flown into the Duluth airport. From there, they will be transported to his hometown of Virginia for what DeRaad called “a proper burial, finally.” A visitation and funeral service will be held Saturday, May 25, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Afterwards, a memorial procession will pass Virginia's VFW post, which is named in Tini's honor, before his remains are laid to rest next to those of his mother and father. “He will be buried next to his parents, which was his wish,” DeRaad said. Though the service is mostly a long overdue memorial for Tini, it is also dedicated to all military service members, past and present. “We're looking to honor all veterans with this service; our uncle, of course, but also all veterans,” said Maki. The weekend will also serve as a family reunion

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 8.1 Approval of 2018-2019 Budget Revision - In total, the District budget is projecting a surplus of $9,173,425. The main reason for the surplus is the addition of the building construction for the voter approved capital project starting in 2019. The other significant area is a deficit spending in the debt service postemployment benefits fund due to a refunding the original debt issued in 2009 to take advantage of lower interest rates. The new debt was issued in a prior year and the District has the funds in hand to make the refunding payment. This lowers the tax impact on our local taxpayers.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its May 13 meeting: • Presented awards to Officer of the Year Kristen Mobraten and Firefighter of the Year Jason Boonstra. Each year the American Legion Post 566 recognizes local police officers and fi refighters. The candidates then have the chance to compete at the state and, potentially, at the national levels. Last year, Lino Lakes’ picks both won the Department of Minnesota Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer and Firefighter of the Year. • Proclaimed the city of Lino Lakes a Purple Heart City. The Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration in present use and was initially created as the Badge of Military Merit by General George Washington in 1782. The Purple Heart was the fi rst American service award or decoration made available to the common soldier and is specifically awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have been wounded or have paid the ultimate sacrifice in combat with a declared enemy of the U.S. “I, Jeff Reinert, mayor of the city of Lino Lakes, do hereby proclaim the city of Lino Lakes a Purple Heart City and encourage the citizens of the city of Lino Lakes to show their appreciation for the sacrifices Purple Heart recipients have made in defending our freedoms, to acknowledge their courage and to show them the honor and support they have earned,” he said. • Approved the consent agenda, which included an annual permit for consumer fi reworks sales at Super Target and a peddler's license for Aptive Environmental LLC pest control. • Approved a resolution providing funding to the Centennial School District for the new playground at Rice Lake Elementary (RLE). The council previously agreed to match every $2 provided by the school district with $1 from the city, up to $20,000. Since the school district came up with $40,000, the city has agreed to pitch in $20,000. City staff recently found out that Lino Lakes Elementary School would also like to submit a funding request for new playground equipment. However, the city's

yearly maximum is $20,000. • Approved a cooperative agreement with the city of Blaine regarding public safety services for the 2019 3M PGA Open June 28-July 7. The Blaine Police Department anticipates it will need approximately 50 police officers and deputies per day and possibly as many as 70 police officers and deputies for the final day of the golf event. The city of Blaine has agreed to reimburse all assisting agencies for wages and benefits at the overtime rate of the police officer. • Awarded a construction contract for the Pheasant Hills Circle project to low bidder T.A. Schifsky & Sons Inc. for $158,878. The project includes water main replacement and roadway repair. Construction is scheduled for completion by June 30. • Authorized the distribution of the city's draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan to adjacent jurisdictions for review. The city is required to send its draft plan to neighboring jurisdictions for a sixmonth review period before it is formally submitted to the Metropolitan Council. • Approved multiple cost-sharing agreements with the

Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). As part of the city’s ongoing water conservation efforts, city staff has targeted reduction in water use for irrigation as a primary means of meeting the city’s conservation goals. The city will replace 12 city-owned irrigation systems and up to three systems belonging to the largest private townhome irrigation users. The irrigation volumes at the targeted locations use an average of 14.35 million gallons annually. The use of smart controllers (weather-based system) and/or soil moisture sensors may reduce water use by up to 50%. This would result in a savings of 7.2 million gallons annually, representing

approximately 5.3 days of water use for the entire city. The RCWD grant will pay 50% of the conversion costs up to a maximum of $41,000. The controller conversion is proposed to be phased in over two years. A stormwater reuse feasibility study also will be completed for the Century Farm North townhome area. The Century Farm North development provides an opportunity to use the development's existing stormwater ponds to offset irrigation demand. Depending on the extent of

the conversion, if feasible, groundwater withdrawal could be reduced by between 1.5 and 4 million gallons. The RCWD grant will pay 90% of the feasibility study costs up to a maximum of $14,040. The city’s cost share ($1,560) will be funded through the city's water utility.

The next City Council meeting will be rescheduled for Tuesday, May 28, at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall due to the Memorial Day holiday. There will also be a work session immediately beforehand at 6 p.m. in the Community Room. Shannon Granholm
