Legion Riders hope to raise $10K for Believet BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR
On Saturday, June 11, over 100 motorcycle riders are expected to gather at Lino Lakes American Legion Post 566 and embark on a five-hour ride, all to raise funds for military veterans and their service dogs. The fundraiser began four years ago with about 15 riders and continues to grow every year. In 2022, the Legion Riders are expecting to see in between 125 to 200 riders. Mike Schwartz, director of the Legion Riders at Post 566, said the idea for the fundraiser came about after a few members had a meeting and decided they wanted to support a charity that provided for military veterans. “The riders thought we should choose a military charity that we should strive to raise funds for,” Schwartz recalled. Around the same time, a couple of the Legion Riders attended a graduation ceremony for Believet, a nonprofit organization that provides trained service dogs free of charge to qualifying veterans. “It was a very emotional ceremony. A lot of tears were shed,” Schwartz said. “We saw that and thought it was a great cause to raise funds for. We adopted it, and it has been growing ever since.” Founded in 2014 by well-known dog trainer Sam Daly, Believet Canine Service Partners is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the life and independence of

the residents of each commissioner district are equally represented. The Anoka County Board of Commissioners ultimately approved option C, which in addition to defining new boundaries also renumbers some districts. All commissioners are up for reelection in 2022 - three commissioner districts have expiring terms and the remaining four are required to run because the total population shift for the district was greater than 5% of the average district size.
4 file for Anoka County Commissioner District 3 Four candidates have filed to represent the residents of Anoka County District 3, which basically represents the same area as the former District 6 (Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbus, Linwood, Lino Lakes and northeast Blaine.) District 3 is virtually identical to District 6, but picks up approximately additional 2,000 residents from Blaine. Candidates who filed for the seat include: Jeff Reinert, current commissioner, along with Cindy Hansen, Teresa O’Connell and Kevin Ryan.

JUNE 7, 2022
Deadly Deja Vu
“N
o Way To Prevent This, Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens” is a headline that the satirical news site The Onion has been posting (and reposting) since 2014. Normally, I wouldn’t choose to reference a news site primarily known for humor and satire when dealing with such a serious subject. However, the repeated postings of what is essentially the same headline and story with a few minor changes, seems to drive directly to the heart of the insanity of the seemingly endless cycle of mass shootings we are witnessing in this country. Along with fellow staff members here at the Press, I’m part of a Angle of scheduled rotation of columns View throughout the year. Leading up to my turn I usually try to think of Paul Dols possible column topics. I had chosen another topic and was hesitant to write about the latest mass shootings of innocent people, but ultimately decided that not addressing it would be avoiding a difficult and timely subject. The choice of the editorial staff at The Onion to run the headline and story for the 21st time illustrates the predictable cycle of shock, mourning, media coverage, finger pointing, blame and calls for change that follow what are now, unfortunately, becoming commonplace events. I can reference back to Press articles, including one in 2016 that refers back to another article that was published in 2013 following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Thoughts at the time included, “As starkly divided as our society and the current political landscape appears to be, one thing that I would sincerely hope everyone can agree on is that something must be done to stop the rampant slaughter of innocent people — in places they and members of their family had every reasonable expectation to believe were safe” and “If the murder of 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7 (innocent in every sense of the word) doesn’t create some positive change, what will?” Before I finished writing this column the sound of the unmistakable and joyous chatter of a large group of young students from a nearby school provided me with a universal and visceral life connection. As they made their way down the street to an ice cream shop during the final days of the school year, I found it almost impossible to reconcile the possibility of this burst of seasonal joy suddenly and inexplicably becoming intertwined with senseless tragedy. In a recent New York Times article titled, “The Arrow in America’s Heart,” Elizabeth Dias references a Buddhist parable that describes a man who has been wounded by a poison arrow. The man insists on knowing various details about the arrow including who shot it, the kind of poison and what type of feathers are on the arrow. Missing the point that what is most important is removing the arrow and tending the wound, he dies. The Exploring Your Mind website further explains the meaning of the parable as a way of valuing life and prioritizing what is important before it’s too late. After reading recently published statistics revealing the millions of dollars the National Rifle Association (NRA) lobby directs toward congress and the members who reap the most benefits, along with details about the gun manufacturer Daniel Defense’s marketing strategy directed toward teenagers, it becomes much clearer that these gunmen did not really act alone. There is complicity and there should be consequences. It sometimes feels like the majority of us are being held hostage by an extreme minority of our society and members of congress. Because they can be complex and intertwined, statistics indicate that it can take several attempts to break free from a dysfunctional or abusive relationship. It may seem hopeless, but we have to keep trying to stop this heartbreaking cycle of violence. Paul Dols is photojournalist/website editor for Press Publications.

When school’s out for the summer… Community Education is in
here are many reasons I love my job as director of community education. Of course, getting to connect with so many individuals and families, on a daily basis, is an immediate bonus. But also, I’m allowed to let my creativity flow, at times, coming up with ideas that inspire individuals and families to step outside of their comfort zone and engage in learning or an activity. I’ve had a blast coming up with new obstacles for our upcoming Kids Obstacle/Mud Run, for example. I also enjoy browsing for fun and unique destinations for our adult day trips. But It’s in the Movers & summertime that I believe our purpose in community ed truly Shakers comes alive. Cori Here at Centennial Community Education, we’ve Sendle proven that when the bell rings on the last day of school, the doors don’t close for the summer. Quite the contrary; our array of offerings is even more robust in the summer! community education offerings and our Kids Club summer child care will fill spaces in most district buildings, utilizing classrooms, gyms, auditoriums, playing fields, the pool, and even the roadwayslook for our Driver Education cars! We are here in the summer for just about everything under the sun; learning how to sew to strengthtraining to creating your own robot and more because we know summer is a great time to be
playful and try new things! And while summertime for many families means swimming, playing, ice cream and easy living, it can also mean additional challenges to others in our community. This is where Community Education also makes a huge impact. In addition to the many financially accessible sports camps, academic and creative opportunities we provide to families and children, we also work to ensure all kids have access to fun and engaging summer experiences. For example, Summer Fun is a free collaborative community program that provides local children and families residing in manufactured home communities in our district with engaging experiences, free meals and so much more. This program connects many caring volunteers in the community with children and families that may often be underserved. If you’re interested in supporting what we do in community education, one of the ways you can help is by joining us at our 2nd Annual Food Truck & Fun Festival, Thursday, Aug. 18, from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Centennial Middle School for an evening of food, performances and more.

Bosten, or Winston, as he is called now, is an active 1 1/2-year-old Boston terrier/schnauzer mix. He is looking for a forever home with a family that likes to go for walks. He would especially like to have a doggie playmate to hang out with. Winston weighs 22 pounds and is an owner surrender. He has a bit of anxiety when left alone. However, when he’s home with his people and/or with a playmate, he does just fine. He is playful, loyal and affectionate, and is a great pal. An active forever family with people who are around a lot would provide the perfect environment for Winston. He is social with dogs, cats, kids and people of all ages. Winston is house-trained but has little, minor dribbles when he’s excited or anxious. But he is still young and may grow out of that. He is a fast learner and responds well to positive training and treats. If you are interested in adopting Bosten and would like to learn more about him, please fill out an application at www.ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

County to recruit for forensic pathologist Due to growth throughout its coverage area, the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, located in Ramsey, is in need of an additional forensic pathologist. The county board has approved the office’s request to begin the process of recruiting a forensic pathologist. There is a shortage of professionals in this position nationwide, with recent studies showing a pool of only about 500 pathologists. The office hopes to add a forensic pathologist in the next one to two years.

CAPITOL RECAP: Area legislators reflect on session FROM PAGE 1
SEN. ROGER CHAMBERLAIN, DISTRICT 38 Moving to District 36
Email: sen.roger.chamberlain@ senate.mn. Phone: 651-296-1253 I had three top priorities for this year’s legislative session: education, crime and helping Minnesotans manage historic inflation and afford their daily lives. Empowering parents and supporting teachers: Schools requested we keep it simple — Sen. Roger Chamberlain literacy, special education and mental health funding, and no mandates. • Partnerships – the Senate passed simple bills that would promote stronger partnerships between parents and schools by creating a more transparent curriculum process. • Literacy – Nearly 50% of kids in Minnesota are not reading at grade level. The schools supported our mandate-free $48.2 million literacy initiative. • Special education – Schools requested support for special education funding. We listened. The Senate passed record increases for special education funding from 6.5% to 40%, or $912 million over three years. • Mental health – Finally, we increased funding by $15 million for the most challenging mental health issues. Unfortunately, neither the House nor Gov. Walz accepted our repeated attempts at compromise.
Cutting taxes •
The Senate and House actually had an agreement on a broad range of tax relief to help seniors and working families, including fully eliminating the tax on Social Security benefits. While there was an agreement, unfortunately Gov. Walz didn’t want to close the deal.
Keeping communities safe •
Supporting law enforcement – The Senate passed increased funding to recruit, retain and train more good cops to keep our neighborhoods safe. • Tough on criminals – We also passed sentencing reform by strengthening penalties for certain crimes and requiring mandatory minimum sentences for others. The Senate, House and Gov. Walz could not reach an agreement.
Vulnerable adults
•
The Senate focused on the crisis in long-term care and disabled communities. Our proposal invested $1 billion to stabilize and reform long-term care facilities and group homes.
Mental health •
The Senate, House and Gov. Walz did reach an agreement on addressing mental health. The Governor signed a $93 million plan that addressed a variety of needs including extra beds and funding for greater mental health support in schools.
Keeping health insurance costs in check •
We passed legislation to extend a successful program that has stabilized the individual health insurance market and kept premium prices under control.
REP. DONALD RALEIGH, DISTRICT 38A Moving to District 32B
Email: rep.donald.raleigh@house.mn Phone: 651-296-2907 The 2022 legislative session came to an end last week, and with it, action on many of the issues that matter most to Minnesotans. As your representative, I worked hard to defend our freedoms and liberties, and make Minnesota a more prosperous state. Unfortunately, this year’s legislative session ended without movement on our top priority — tax relief. This was largely be- Rep. Donald Raleigh cause Gov. Walz and House Democrats insisted on spending billions of dollars on growing government, not on significant tax reform that would have put more money in your pocket. Our estimates put the spending increase at over 16%. That is on top of our state expenditures of over $104 billion for FY 22-23 biennium, $48 billion of that from the general fund. All of us are struggling with the impacts of historic levels of inflation, soaring gas prices and seemingly unprecedented grocery bills. Our family budgets are struggling to keep up with rising costs, and government spending more of your money is not the answer. That’s why I felt it was so important to provide necessary tax relief this year. Failing to do so was a missed opportunity that would have helped you and your family.
My take: demands to significantly increase spending by billions of dollars in a non-budget year were unrealistic and unnecessary when government is already fully funded thanks to last year’s two-year budget. Minnesota received nearly $80 billion in federal COVID relief dollars, resulting in a projected $9+ billion budget surplus. While these demands prevented action that would have put money back in your pocket, we were nevertheless able to move the ball on several other important issues, including legislation that supports veterans and their families. Next year I am looking forward to breaking apart the omnibus bills that have plagued our process. We need to hear and pass single-subject bills, not Frankenstein monstrosities. That will take some significant effort, but that is why you sent me to Saint Paul: to do the hard work for you and your family. As always, it is my commitment to respond to the needs and priorities of you and your family.
SEN. CHUCK WIGER, DISTRICT 43
Email: sen.chuck.wiger@senate. mn Phone: 651-770-0283 So close, but yet so far. Legislators did pass several new laws, but couldn’t reach a final agreement on many matters as time expired. Last month, legislative leaders reached a major bipartisan agreement: a mix of tax cuts, targeted investments for schools, health Sen. Chuck Wiger and human services and more, plus a bonding bill and strengthening the state’s reserve account. Final passage of the tax bill, which I support, was contingent on other conference committees negotiating details and reaching agreements. Most of these committees made significant progress. Some reached a final agreement or were close. I served on the education conference committee, where $1 billion was allocated, and an agreement seemed reachable. We now need to finish this work. If we can, that will mean almost $4 billion in tax cuts (e.g., eliminate state taxation of Social Security, and more); $4 billion in spending for education, health care, public safety; and a $1.5 billion bonding bill. Minnesotans expect us to get this work done. I will continue to push for us to come back and do it. The bonding bill could potentially include funding for White Bear Lake’s proposed public safety center, building maintenance projects at Century College, LakeLinks Trail appropriation technical change, Tubman Center, Gibbs Farm, and more. It’s important that we also pass legislation addressing water permits and additional study related to White Bear Lake.
Though that work remains, we did pass several initiatives: • •
$92.7 million in mental health resources. Bonuses of $750 or more to frontline workers who did not have the option to work from home during the pandemic. • Veterans and Gold Star families provided various programs. • Minnesota’s Unemployment Insurance Program was replenished while keeping businesses’ unemployment insurance tax rates flat. • COVID-19 worker’s comp presumption for first responders, including firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and more. • Reduced the cost of health insurance for Minnesotans who use the individual market. • Funded nation-leading ALS research. • Financial relief provided for farmers impacted by the 2021 drought. As always, contact me by phone/text. Thanks for the honor of serving you.
REP. PETER FISCHER, DISTRICT 43A Moving to District 44A
Email: rep.peter.fischer@house. mn Phone: 651-296-5363 Neighbors, First, I want to express my sorrow to all those impacted by the recent mass shootings in Uvalde Rep. Peter Fischer and Buffalo. These tragedies keep happening, and require us to take action. The House DFL has fought for years to bring forth gun safety reforms supported by almost 90% of the public, like red flag laws and universal background checks. Both of those bills passed the Minnesota House in 2020 but the Minnesota Senate refused to even discuss the issue. We must do better for our children. As required by the state constitution, the Legislature adjourned May 23. We moved forward on a long list of priorities for Minnesotans across the state, such as frontline worker bonus pay, investments to address the opioid crisis, and funding for Minnesota’s Unemployment Insurance Program to keep small businesses’ tax rates flat.
I am proud to say that in the Behavioral Health division that I chair, both parties worked together and passed every bill with unanimous support. This is the second year in a row this has occurred and illustrates the good work government is capable of. The House also passed a $92 million mental health package that lifts the moratorium on new mental health beds for the next five years, creates crisis homes for children, increases funding to programs that eliminate the barriers to mental health access, and more. However, final agreements were not reached on our complete supplemental budget. From the very beginning, I have been clear: my focus is on reducing costs for families, helping our young people, preserving our environment and improving public safety for everyone. The House DFL negotiated for months in good faith with Gov. Walz and Senate leadership. We hope to continue working with Republicans to find as many agreements as possible, because that’s what Minnesotans deserve. I will continue advocating for our communities, and I hope to write again soon after a successful special session.
REP. AMI WAZLAWIK, DISTRICT 38B
Email: rep.ami.wazlawik@house. mn Phone: 651-296-3018 Lawmakers worked hard to improve the lives of Minnesotans this year. House DFLers wanted to use our state’s historic surplus to support students, workers and Minnesotans who need assistance. We advocated for investments in education, public safety, health care and other priorities. Leaders from both parties Rep. Ami Walzawik agreed to invest $4 billion, provide $4 billion worth of tax cuts, and save $4 billion for the future. We passed several bills on a bipartisan basis, but important legislation was left on the table. I hope we can find a way to come together and complete our work. It’s what we agreed to do and what Minnesotans expect from their legislators. While some bills didn’t make it across the finish line, we approved critical legislation this session. One of our notable accomplishments was delivering $500 million of bonus payments for frontline workers. This will benefit hundreds of thousands of people who kept our state running during the pandemic, including health care workers, first responders, child care workers and food service and retail workers. We also replenished Minnesota’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which was depleted due to the pandemic. Legislators secured additional resources for veterans this session. We provided funding to prevent veteran homelessness, build new veterans homes and deliver bonuses to those who served during the post-9/11 era. We delivered relief to farmers impacted by the 2021 drought and took steps to contain avian influenza. In addition to supporting current farmers, we approved legislation to help more Minnesotans enter the agriculture industry, a critical part of our economy. House DFLers also protected Minnesotans’ reproductive freedom. We blocked attempts to restrict reproductive rights and access to critical health care services. Other notable accomplishments include reforming Minnesota’s liquor laws, expanding mental health resources, funding nation-leading ALS research and securing unprecedented amounts of money to address the opioid crisis. The regular legislative session is over, but we’re still working hard and trying to find compromises. We want bipartisan bills to be ready in case a special session is called. I hope we can return to the Capitol and deliver the results Minnesotans deserve.
REP. JAMIE BECKER-FINN, District 42B
Email: rep.jamie.becker-finn@house.mn Phone : 651-296-7153 Despite the Senate walking away from the negotiating table late in the legislative session, we did get some important issues across the finish line this year. First, we passed frontline worker pay legislation that will soon be open for applicants. More information can be found at https:// frontlinepay.mn.gov We also replenished the UI trust fund, which was incredibly important Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn for many of our small businesses. We also passed a “mental health omnibus” on the last day of session. This bill will benefit people across the state and includes necessary changes to our m I remain hopeful that the Senate will come back to the table so we can have a short special session to pass more bills. With our historic budget surplus and families struggling to pay rising gas and grocery prices, we need to reinvest those dollars in those who could use it right now.

This year’s theme, “Somewhere New in 22” hints at the location change. For 2022 (and 2023), the event will be held at Hanifl Fields Athletic Park (located at 7032 137th St. N) instead of Lions Park. There were not many venues within the city that could accommodate the large event, especially in terms of parking and electrical power. The city suggested the Lions consider Hanifl Fields. The Lions are thankful for the temporary home, but have had to overcome many challenges while planning for Good Neighbor Days this year. “There have been many hurdles, and there still will be hurdles in front of us, I am sure, until opening night,” Balthazor said. One of the largest hurdles has been figuring out where people will park. Once the Lions figured out the site layout, they were surprised to find out that the Hanifl site will actually have more parking spaces than the
until midnight — this year there is a plan to deploy three shuttles. (Keep an eye on the Lions’ Facebook page and city’s website for exact routes.) TH “Another big hurdle has been the lack of power and fencing,” Balthazor said. “The old location had fencing already in place to help us enclose the beer garden, and we also had our own electric panels to power the event,” he explained. “This year will require us to rent large generators and rent fencing to achieve the layout we need. We also will have to transport all of our supplies from a rented storage unit to the park instead of having them on site to set up, which will add more time and labor for our already shrinking club.” Even though there are plenty of hurdles to jump over, this year’s celebration will still boast fun for all ages. Attendees will see some new events and food options. Big Top Tent Bingo is scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 12. It will cost $1 a sheet ($2 a sheet for coverall).

Rib fans shouldn’t worry, though, the rib contest will be held in the fall. “I think this location will also spread the event out to give the visitors a chance to take more things in,” Balthazor said. “We want to have a safe and successful event … We will jump this year’s hurdles so next year we can stroll right into the 2023 event.”

LEGION RIDERS: Hit road for military vets and their companions FROM PAGE 1
veterans with the assistance of trained service dogs. During his deployments in Afghanistan with the U.S. Marine Corps as a civilian contractor, Daly witnessed the comfort, emotional support and improved morale that explosive detection dogs provide to soldiers. In partnership with his friend, U.S. Army veteran John Sinning, Daly established Believet in Northfield. Since 2015, when the organization officially gained nonprofit status, Believet has trained and placed 40 dogs with veterans. “Believet service dogs provide veterans a new lease on life. They offer a path for veterans to grow and hope for a better future …” Daly said. “If I have learned anything, it is the power of hope. In serving their country, veterans changed the world for the better. We can honor them by helping to change their world for the better, providing assistance and giving them hope.” The ride will leave the Lino Lakes Legion at 10:30 a.m. From there, riders will head to the Veterans Campground on Big Marine Lake in Marine on St Croix for an unserviceable flag disposal and retirement ceremony. After the ceremony, riders will travel to North Branch for lunch, then to the St. Francis American Legion and back to the Lino Lakes Legion for dinner and a raffle. Schwartz wants the community to know that everyone is welcome to attend the event.

Kyle Rawleigh’s second book in his children’s chapter book series, “Chronicles of the Unicorn Kingdom,” is now available. Here is pictured with his three daughters Ava, Liv and Claire. Rawleigh is a 2007 graduate of Centennial High School.
Part-time author, full-time dad hopes to publish 4-book series A relatively new hobby has quickly turned into much more for Kyle Rawleigh. Rawleigh, a resident of Andover, is a 2007 graduate of Centennial High School. He currently works in logistics for Republic Services, which provides trash and recycling services. But after making up a bedtime story for his kids and turning it into a published children’s book, Rawleigh now calls himself a part-time author. (See Accidental author: Part-time author, full-time dad June 22, 2021.) The second book in his children’s chapter book series, “Chronicles of the Unicorn Kingdom,” is now available. Plans for another two books in the series are already underway. Q. Tell us about yourself. A. My wife and I have four
children, three girls and a boy. I was born and raised in Minnesota — graduating from Centennial High School and then the University of St. Thomas. I work my day job as a logistics nerd for a trash and recycling company called Republic Services. When I have spare time, I love cooking on my smoker, hunting, watching the Vikes and writing!
Q. Why did you want to turn this into a book series? A. I actually had never intended for
these stories to be published. This all started when my girls asked me to make up a bedtime story for them. They loved it so much, I decided to write it down to give to them as a gift — but it wound up getting published! Lucky for us, lots of other kids seem to enjoy their bedtime story, too! Q. Tell us about this newest children’s book. A. This story is a quick read —
each chapter is one part of the story I made up for my kids at night, which makes it action-packed. The goal was to keep it really exciting to keep kids reading. This story has a bunch of action, adventure, lessons about family, lessons about second chances and, of course, unicorns! P.S. I even threw in a couple of jokes about Packers fans! Q. What have you enjoyed about writing this book in particular? A. I love writing these stories down
after I tell them to my kids. After I finish them, my aunt/illustrator, Linda Brisson, draws the cover artwork and an amazing illustration to go with every chapter. My kids love seeing the story with the
pictures in it — and that always makes me happy. Another thing I never expected was the involvement I have had in classrooms. I have been lucky enough to visit several classrooms since my first book came out to talk to kids about my book, writing and the publishing process. I really enjoy getting to spend time with kids and getting them excited about reading and writing. Republic Services has been incredibly supportive of allowing me to give back to the community in this way. I will never be able to go to every single school that asks, but I love doing it when I can. If you’re a teacher of second through fifth graders and want a local author to visit your classroom, just shoot us an email at cotukstories@gmail. com! Q. How many books do you envision being a part of this series? A. Our goal is to have this be a

Cougars are section champs with string of 1-0 wins BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER
The Centennial Cougars are big admirers of an ace pitcher for Maple Grove, their arch conference and section rival. Fortunately for the Cougars, they’ve got a couple pretty good chuckers themselves. The Cougars got a no-hitter from senior Helene Krage to squeeze past Maple Grove and Maddie Whilm 1-0 in the Section 5AAAA finals on Thursday to earn a state trip. That was their second 1-0 win over Whilm in the tournament. The junior right-hander took a no-hit shutout into the seventh inning against them May 27 in the semifinals. Riley O’Connell and Krage teamed up to win that one. “Whilm is one heck of a pitcher. As good as they come,” marveled Rick Thomas,

Centennial coach. “She’s a junior and already committed to North Dakota State.” The No. 5 ranked Cougars (18-7) won the section with four shutouts, three of them 1-0, and advanced to the state tournament Thursday and Friday
in North Mankato. It’s their third state trip; they placed third last year and in 2019. The Cougars beat Robbinsdale Cooper 15-0 with O’Connell pitching three innings and Montana Miller one. They had 17 hits. including three each by
Bryn Ruhberg (triple, two RBIs) and Brooke Helseth (double, three RBIs). Krage led a 1-0 win over Spring Lake Park, pitching a one-hitter with 11 strikeouts, out-dueling the Panthers’ Jenna and Brianna Nusbaum.
Ruhberg’s sac fly in the fifth inning scored Lily Gilmore with the lone run. The Cougars nipped Maple Grove 1-0 with a run in the seventh after Whilm allowed no hits, one walk, and struck out 13 in the first six innings. Brisk
ground-ball singles by Alexa Just (who was then thrown out stealing) and Ruhberg broke up the no-hitter. Whilm faltered, giving up three walks on 3-2 counts, the last one to Adrianna Thomas to force home the gamewinner, scored by courtesy runner Callie Casura. O’Connell (four innings) and Krage (three) combined for a three-hit shutout with six strikeouts. With two chances to beat Maple Grove once Thursday, the Cougars got it done on the first try as Krage spun her no-hitter with 13 strikeouts. She walked three in the first inning but cruised after that. The Cougars had just two hits off Whilm, who struck out nine, but they were both doubles in the fourth inning, by Just and Ruhberg, to score the run.
COUGAR SPORTS BRIEFS
Cougar netters close solid season, have 5 all-conference Centennial’s tennis season ended May 31 with Section 4AA singles and doubles competition. Sean Oslund, senior No. 1 singles player, won three of five matches to place third among 24 entrants. Zach Chaffey won two of four and placed fourth. In doubles, Joaquin and J.J. Bliss had a bye and one win before losing in the semifinals. Oslund finished 18-7, Chaffey 20-4, and the Bliss brothers 17-5. Those four and Justin Bailey made the all-Northwest Suburban Conference team. The Cougars had a 13-4 dual meet record, placed third in the conference and reached the section semifinals. “Great year for all of us,” coach Dan Haertl said.

The No. 12 ranked Cougars posed at the section meet. From left: assistant coach Gary Tolkinen, Caden Lick, Peyton Blair, Brody Pass, Harper Searles, Hunter Ubel, Hayden Frank and head coach Chris Kopp.
Pass, Lick advance to state; Cougar golfers 3rd in section Centennial golfers Brody Pass and Caden Lick each qualified for the state tournament while leading the Cougars to a third-place team finish in a strong field in Section 5AAA. Pass shot 75-74-149 to place third individually, and Lick shot 75-77-152 to place seventh, at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids on Tuesday and Wednesday. The senior duo will compete in the Class 3A state tournament June 14-15, also at Bunker Hills. It’s the first state trip for each. Centennial was ranked No. 12 in the state by iWanamaker, a website monitoring the sport of golf. But this
was a strong section with Spring Lake Park ranked No. 2 and Maple Grove No. 3. Spring Lake Park was team champion with 597 strokes, followed by Maple Grove 603, Centennial 615, Rogers 647 and Blaine 650 for the top five slots among 12 teams. Top two individuals were Jake Birdwell of Spring Lake Park with 137 and Ryan Stendahl of Maple Grove with 141. Centennial also had junior Peyton Blair shooting 76-82-158, sophomore Harper Searles 83-77-160, junior Hayden Frank 79-82-161, and junior Hunter Ubel with 84-85-169.
Hole-in-one at Chomonix Lori Newman of Lino Lakes shot a hole-in-one, her first, at Chomonix, on May 17, using a four hybrid on the 152-yard No. 4 hole. “The ball landed on the front left of the green, bounced twice and rolled into the cup,” reported Newman, who plays league golf at Chomonix, Oneka, Keller, and in Arizona. She said it was her first round after her husband suggested playing with a strong right-hand grip. “He believed that a slight modification to my grip would improve my distance and accuracy. I guess he was correct.”
Brody Pass will conclude an eventful senior year at Centennial by making his first state appearance: the Class 3A golf tournament. Pass qualified by placing third in the Section 5AAA meet at Bunker Hills with rounds of 75 and 74 for a 149 total. The 5-foot-10, 150-pound athlete averaged around 74 for the season and made all-conference for the second time. Pass is also a two-year starter in hockey at forward. This season, he tallied 11 goals and 16 assists to help the Cougars post an 18-6-3 record and got honorable mention to all-conference.

CITY OF LEXINGTON
2021 DRINKING WATER REPORT
Making Safe Drinking Water Your drinking water comes from the following groundwater sources: • 309-foot-deep well that draws water from the Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifer; • Lexington also receives water from Blaine for part of the year through an interconnected system. Lexington works hard to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water that meets federal and state water quality requirements. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on your drinking water and how to protect our precious water resources. Contact City of Lexington, Administration, at 763-782-2792 if you have questions about Lexington’s drinking water. You can also ask for information about how you can take part in decisions that may affect water quality. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets safe drinking water standards. These standards limit the amounts of specific contaminants allowed in drinking water. This ensures that tap water is safe to drink for most people. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates the amount of certain contaminants in bottled water. Bottled water must provide the same public health protection as public tap water. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Lexington Monitoring Results This report contains our monitoring results from January 1 to December 31, 2021. We work with the Minnesota Department of Health to test drinking water for more than 100 contaminants. It is not unusual to detect contaminants in small amounts. No water supply is ever completely free of contaminants. Drinking water standards protect Minnesotans from substances that may be harmful to their health. Learn more by visiting the Minnesota Department of Health’s webpage ‘Basics of Monitoring and testing of Drinking Water in Minnesota’ (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/factsheet/sampling.html). How to Read the Water Quality Data Tables The tables below show the contaminants we found last year or the most recent time we sampled for that contaminant. They also show the levels of those contaminants and the Environmental Protection Agency’s limits. Substances that we tested for but did not find are not included in the tables. We sample for some contaminants less than once a year because their levels in water are not expected to change from year to year. If we found any of these contaminants the last time we sampled for them, we included them in the tables below with the detection date. We may have done additional monitoring for contaminants that are not included in the Safe Drinking Water Act. To request a copy of these results, call the Minnesota Department of Health at 651-201-4700 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some contaminants are monitored regularly throughout the year, and rolling (or moving) annual averages are used to manage compliance. Because of this averaging, there are times where the Range of Detected Test Results for the calendar year is lower than the Highest Average or Highest Single Test Result, because it occurred in the previous calendar year. Definitions • AL (Action Level): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. • EPA: Environmental Protection Agency • MCL (Maximum contaminant level): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • MCLG (Maximum contaminant level goal): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • MRDL (Maximum residual disinfectant level): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. • MRDLG (Maximum residual disinfectant level goal): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. • N/A (Not applicable): Does not apply. • pCi/l (picocuries per liter): A measure of radioactivity. • ppb (parts per billion): One part per billion in water is like one drop in one billion drops of water, or about one C Osame N S U MasE R C O N F I D Eper N C liter E R (μg/l). EPORT drop in a swimming pool. ppb is the micrograms • ppm (parts per million): One part per million is like one drop in one million drops of water, or about one cup in a swimming pool. ppm is the same as milligrams per liter (mg/l). • PWSID: Public water system identification.

There are five main types of contaminants in drinking water sources. • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Sources include sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, pets, and wildlife. • Inorganic P U B L I Ccontaminants W A T E R S U P Pinclude L Y I D E salts N T I F and I C A Tmetals I O N ( Pfrom W S I natural D ) : 1 0 2sources 0 0 3 2 (e.g. rock and soil), oilPand A G Egas 4 production,P Umining discharges.

Sources include agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and commercial and residential properties. • Organic chemical contaminants include synthetic and volatile organic compounds. Sources include industrial processes and petroleum production, gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants such as radium, thorium, and uranium isotopes come from natural sources (e.g. radon gas from soils and rock), mining operations, and oil and gas production. The Minnesota Department of Health provides information about your drinking water source(s) in a source water assessment, including: • How Lexington is protecting your drinking water source(s); • Nearby threats to your drinking water sources; • How easily water and pollution can move from the surface of the land into drinking water sources, based on natural geology and the way wells are constructed. Find your source water assessment at ‘Source Water Assessments’ (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/ environment/water/swp/swa) or call 651-201-4700 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Lead in Drinking Water You may be in contact with lead through paint, water, dust, soil, food, hobbies, or your job. Coming in contact with lead can cause serious health problems for everyone. There is no safe level of lead. Babies, children under six years, and pregnant women are at the highest risk. Lead is rarely in a drinking water source, but it can get in your drinking water as it passes through lead service lines and your household plumbing system. Lexington is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but it cannot control the plumbing materials used in private buildings. Read below to learn how you can protect yourself from lead in drinking water. 1. Let the water run for 30-60 seconds before using it for drinking or cooking if the water has not been turned on in over six hours. If you have a lead service line, you may need to let the water run longer. A service line is the underground pipe that brings water from the main water pipe under the street to your home. • You can find out if you have a lead service line by contacting your public water system, or you can check by following the steps at: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/06/24/npr-find-lead-pipes-in-your-home • The only way to know if lead has been reduced by letting it run is to check with a test. If letting the water run does not reduce lead, consider other options to reduce your exposure. 2. Use cold water for drinking, making food, and making baby formula. Hot water releases more lead from pipes than cold water. 3. Test your water. In most cases, letting the water run and using cold water for drinking and cooking should keep lead levels low in your drinking water. If you are still concerned about lead, arrange with a laboratory to test your tap water. Testing your water is important if young children or pregnant women drink your tap water. • Contact a Minnesota Department of Health accredited laboratory to get a sample container and instructions on how to submit a sample: ‘Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program’ (https://eldo.web.health.state.mn.us/ public/accreditedlabs/labsearch.seam) The Minnesota Department of Health can help you understand your test results. 4. Treat your water if a test shows your water has high levels of lead after you let the water run. Read about water treatment units: ‘Point-of-Use Water Treatment Units for Lead Reduction’ (https://www.health. state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/factsheet/poulead.html) Learn more: • Visit ‘Lead in Drinking Water’ (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/contaminants/lead. html) • Visit ‘Basic Information about Lead in Drinking Water’ (http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead) • Call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.To learn about how to reduce your contact with lead from sources other than your drinking water, visit ‘Common Sources’ (https://www.health.state.mn.us/ communities/environment/lead/fs/common.html).

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com We’re off to a pretty good start to summer. This past weeks weather was uneventful, meaning temperatures were comfortable and skies were dry. Shower activity over the weekend stayed to our south and with Pacific flow aloft dew points were low, which made getting out nice. I’ve enjoyed our mornings most of all. Morning temperatures felt crisp and winds were light. Looking ahead at the forecast calls for more of the same, somewhat dry and slightly below normal temperatures. Nature notes: Cottonwood seeds are gathering in grass. Is it me or does the number of ducklings and goslings seem down this year? Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area.
