EDA strikes deal for residential, commercial and retail development BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Golden Lake musical medley A light breeze, sunshine, low humidity and moderate summer warmth created ideal conditions for a recent Music on the Lake outdoor concert at Golden Lake Park in Circle Pines, featuring the Centennial Community Band. The performance was the first in a series of concerts that continue throughout the summer.

LINO LAKES — If everything goes as planned, the area next to City Hall could look very different in the next couple of years. A developer is proposing to construct a marketrate, age-targeted, multi-family rental building, two restaurants and a multitenant retail building. Silver Creek Equity, LLC, has made an offer to purchase approximately 6.27 acres of the land consisting of five parcels. The property lies northwest of City Hall and is bounded by Town Center Parkway and Village Drive. Per the purchase agreement, Silver Creek Equity will purchase the property for $2,376,154. “The proposed use is generally consistent with the original development master plan,” Community Development Director Michael Grochala explained. The EDA unanimously approved a purchase agreement and development agreement last week. Grochala detailed a bit of the land’s history. In 2010 approximately 20 acres of undeveloped land within the Legacy at Woods Edge development was tax forfeited to the state of Minnesota. In September 2013 the EDA obtained, at no cost, the tax forfeited property from the state. The transfer was made to the EDA with the intent that 1) EDA ownership would facilitate development of the site; and 2) that sale proceeds would be applied to the retirement of existing debt service for public improvements associated with the site

There are several farmers markets in the area that feature local fresh produce, handcrafted artisan items and live entertainment. In a climate like Minnesota’s, you can expect the best quality and most varieties of produce in warmer temperatures, which makes late spring, summer and early fall your best bet for a trip to the farmers market. Better weather attracts more vendors, as they anticipate a larger crowd and higher demand for their goods.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Horses escape pasture, 1 struck by vehicle

On June 14, two horses escaped from their pasture in the 800 block of Ash Street and wandered into the roadway after dark at approximately 9:57 p.m. A Shoreview resident was headed west on Ash Street and didn’t see that one of the horses was in her lane until it was too late.

According to Lino Lakes Public Safety Department Deputy Director Kyle Leibel, the horse was struck by the front left side and the windshield of the vehicle. The driver sustained some glassrelated injuries, and officers led the horses back to their pasture, where the owners coordinated care for the injured horse.

JUNE 21, 2022

Let me introduce myself

y name is Ella Roberts and I am a summer intern at Press Publications. I graduated from St. Francis High School in 2020 and just completed my sophomore year at Bethel University where I am currently double majoring in journalism and relational communication studies. At Bethel I am a pitcher on the softball team and the sports editor this upcoming fall for the school newspaper The Clarion. I was born in Coon Rapids, but a majority of my childhood took place in a small neighborhood surrounded by farmland in East Bethel. As a kid I spent most of my weekends at the ball field and remember running into White Bear every so often. Whether we won or not is a different story. I Ella’s have just recently moved back Exclusive into my parents home temporarily for the summer and will be Ella Roberts moving into my new house in New Brighton where I will live with four of my friends from Bethel. This summer I have spent my time in and out of the Press Publications office, waitressing at TPC Twin Cities golf course in Blaine, serving cheese curds and corn dogs out of a fair stand, working in my grandma’s garden and enjoying time with friends and family. My internship at Press Publications is a short eight weeks long and I am working around 15 hours a week. In the two weeks I have been here, I can say that I have already learned a lot about myself as a reporter and what it’s like to work with a team. The staff have been nothing but welcoming and helpful when it comes to showing me around and giving me advice for my stories. I tend to ask a lot of questions and can be a very indecisive person, but this internship has forced me to make decisions on my own while also receiving the affirmation I need as an aspiring reporter to continue growing. I love that my role allows me to work both independently and interdependently and I have already met some great people in the community and surrounding communities. Something I love most about journalism is being able to learn from others experiences while also sharing those experiences to hopefully make a difference or impact. I have always loved to write and have aspired to become a mini Rory Gimore ever since watching the iconic Gilmore Girls. My family and friends have always supported me in this dream of mine, but for so long I never saw it as plausible. In fact, going into my freshman year of college I chose not to pursue journalism. However, after not being able to graduate or play softball my senior year of high school due to COVID-19, along with losing some people very close to me, any dreams I had for myself seemed to be slipping from my fingertips. Life flipped like a switch and my plans to go to school altogether seemed less and less likely. I moved into my freshman dorm in August 2020 at Luther College and was back home in my parents house by November that same year. After taking some time away to process and heal, I was able to find a new home at Bethel University by January 2021. Since then, life has continued to change for me, but in the best way possible. I declared my journalism minor before the end of my freshman year and I have since loved all of my journalism classes, traveled to Guatemala for an international storytelling project, become sports editor for The Clarion and am in the middle of completing my first internship in a newsroom. I am extremely humbled and grateful for where I have been, but I cannot wait to see where I will go. Ella is an intern with Press Publications.

‘Your next adventure awaits’ Editor’s note: This is the speech that should have been included in the article, “‘Best days ahead’ for Centennial graduates” June 14. The Centennial School District accidentally sent the Quad Community Press Superintendent Jeff Holmberg’s commencement address rather than graduating senior Peter Mundale’s speech. We apologize for the error. omeone once said “Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again”. Like the autumn leaves along the riverbank, we are caught in the current of life, floating on a journey together. Until now we have been going with the flow. For the most part we learned what we had to do under the watchful eye of our parents Peter and teachers. Parents and teachers, Mundale we thank you for your guidance, but now we must discover if we sink or swim. Friends, we have a long journey ahead of us and this is just the beginning. Like the mighty rivers that flow through our country, that I definitely remember from my geography class, our course is anything but easy. We will tumble and turn. We will cascade downward and we will calmly drift. We will split from the steam, but I assure you, you will join back on track. To every obstacle we will face, to every river mile we pass, we will be filled with new scenery. New rolling hills, new deep valleys, a first and a last. As seniors this year has been filled with lasts. Our last homecoming, our last game, our last chance on the court or field or stage, our last concert, our last pepfest, our last prom. But while unintentional, Isaac Newton was right, because with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As this year was full of Lasts, Next year will be full of Firsts. Our first day of college, our first game, our first concert, our first Monday morning that we wake up at 3 in the afternoon and realize we slept through half our classes, our first time wondering how long we can stretch our laundry, our first true realization of how much we miss our family and friends, our next chance at a new beginning. This journey is long and far from complete, and you are not alone on your journey. We started as the autumn leaves in the current, thrown in by our

parents and going with the flow until we found our rhythm. Now we get to choose our course. You are deciding your destination. Where do you want to go, and how do you want to get there? On the river we travel by boat, so what vessel do you want to take? We will each choose our own boat, and our river will be filled with boats of all different shapes, colors, purposes, and functions. Some of us will build our vessels quickly, as we will pick our career path early on. Others of us will spend the rest of our life building our boat, working so hard, but leaving it unfinished and awaiting the next traveler. We all have different choices in our careers, different places on the river of life, but we are all there together, sitting next to you now are your fellow travelers, the future business men and women, the future engineers, the future teachers, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, doctors and nurses, researchers and scientists, physical therapists and phycologists, computer scientists, politicians, lawyers, members of the armed forces, musicians, astronomers, small business owners, plumbers and carpenters, and so much more. Our journey will be long. We will fail but we will also succeed. We will be challenged and tested greater than ever before. The Rapids will roar below us, Intimidating us with their sound and size. The waterfalls cascading down and down and down, trying to take us with them. But a rapid and a waterfall is just water flowing over the rocks, the same as the many miles of river we have traveled. In my life, when the waterfalls tried to drag me down or the challenging roar of the rapids fill my head, my mom would tell me one thing. One simple phrase of seven syllables, that holds power over those rapids. “Life is a grand adventure.” “Life is a grand adventure.” Life is a grand adventure stretching a lifetime. Life is an adventure where we will encounter the best and worst, the highs and the lows, the easy and the impossible. Life in an adventure where we are meant to fail, but learn from our failure. Someone once said “Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.” High School has passed and your next adventures awaits. Thank you class of 2022! Peter Mundale is a graduate of Centennial High School.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL SNIPPETS

PAID LETTER ‘Will not forget’ Nov. 8 The very party that holds itself up as championing the working and middle classes sure doesn’t vote accordingly. I am both angry and frustrated to see gas prices reaching record highs in Minnesota (and continuing to climb) with no end in sight. We need relief from our pain at the pump. A short year ago, the DFL House voted to increase the gas tax in our state by 70%. I will not forget this when I vote for GOP candidates

in Senate District 36 on Nov. 8. Their policies are hurting people like me who drive to work to earn a living. At the same time, their outof-control spending and utopian ideals make my overtaxed paycheck subject to 8.9 percent inflation. Their solution? “Buy an electric vehicle.” Tone deaf doesn’t even come close to describing their proposals. If only I had $55,000 burning a hole in my pocket … Matthew Guenthner Circle Pines

WEEKLY WAG If you’re looking for a sweet, petite, beautiful, wellmannered young lady to join you or your family, then Drift is the girl for you. Drift arrived at Ruff Start Rescue from South Dakota. She is a Husky/shepherd mix

and weighs about 40 pounds. She is quiet, rarely barks, is house-trained and is very well behaved. She is so well behaved that she even gets to sleep on the couch at night, but would welcome the opportunity to sleep in the bedroom with her people. She loves everyone she meets and she is social with other dogs. Drift is just about 2 years old, loves attention and likes to be brushed. She has a moderate energy level and walks well on

a leash. She listens well, too, but some formal basic training classes would be a great bonding activity for Drift and her new forever person. If you are interested in learning more about Drift or adopting her, please fill out an application at www. ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

• Circle Pines qualifies to become a HEARTSafe community after being awarded a $25,000 Firehouse public safety grant from the Firefighters Foundation for the first quarter of 2022. This means the community has enough AEDs, trained professionals and instructors willing to teach the public how to use an AED. Centennial Fire District Battalion Chief Matt Montain says being labeled as a HEARTSafe community will give residents peace of mind and allow the fire department to promote their resources to the community. The grant will be used to replace aging AEDs and will put an AED in all of the first out apparatus for the fire department, in the squads for Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) units and AED replacements will be made in Circle Pine and

Centerville city halls. The fire department is also scheduling a time to come in with staff to do training in Circle Pine and Centerville for anyone who is interested in learning how to use an AED. • The 2022 street and utility construction project is ahead of schedule thanks to good weather conditions and the help of two crews rather than one. City Administrator Patrick Antonen reports that a third of the project has been completed. The City Council approved pay voucher No. 2 for the project last week for $647, 841 to contractor Kuechle Underground. The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 28 at City Hall. Ella Roberts

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL SNIPPETS • The city continues to hire staff for the Rookery Activity Center (RAC). Most recently, 10 employees were hired for a variety of part-time roles, including child watch attendants, aquatics trainers and custodial workers. • Several businesses have had their liquor, wine and beer licenses renewed for 2022-23. They include: American Legion Post 566, Eagle Liquor, The Tavern on Main, JP’s Liquor, Wine and Beer, Trappers Bar & Grill, Chomonix Golf Course, Target Corporation, Cherokee Liquors, Fiesta Cancun Mexican Grill & Bar, Don Julio Mexican Restaurant, Chili Thai Cuisine, El Zocala Grill & Cantina, Campanelle Restaurant & Bar, Liquor Barrel, Casey’s General Store and Mama Mia Mexican Grill. Several businesses’ tobacco and massage licenses have also been renewed for 2022-23. Tobacco licenses include: Eagle Liquor, JP’s Liquor, Wine and Beer, Holiday Stationstores, Lino Lakes One Stop, Chomonix Golf Course, Corner Express, G-Will Liquors, Bill’s Superette, Lakes 1 Stop, Lino Lakes Tobacco 1 and Casey’s General Store.

Cougars 4th at state lacrosse, pull 1st-round upset BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial lacrosse team pulled off the upset of the state tournament last week, before losing twice to finish fourth. The Cougars tripped No. 2 seeded Chanhassen 10-8 in the quarterfinals Tuesday at Stillwater. They led 6-3 at halftime, fell behind 8-7, and regrouped to score the last three goals, with Logan Adams giving them the final two-goal lead. Noah Berger netted three goals. Adams, Sam Rodriguez, and Matt Everson had two each, and Brol Scherman a goal and two assists. “We just came in with quiet confidence and never took the opportunity for granted,” coach Jon Beach said.

Brock Carls (16) scraps for the ball against Prior Lake with Reese Littlefield (24) looking on.

The Cougars, finishing 15-4, were humbled by No. 3 seed Prior Lake 20-7 in the semifinals Thursday, then lost a close third-place game to Stillwater 11-9 on Saturday. Those two games were in Roseville. Benilde-St. Margaret’s nipped Prior Lake 10-9 in the championship game,

finishing unbeaten. “We stuck to the game plan of slowing down the pace of the game,” Beach said about the win over Chanhassen (16-3). “When on defense, we were strong on-ball and kept our matchups. Matt Everson had an incredible game locking down another All American while also scoring two goals.” Everson was named to a prep AllAmerica team and Star-Tribune all-metro first team. (More on that and other team awards next week.) Beach added that AJ Carls, while credited with just one assist on the state sheet, was “phenomenal with the ball during the game.” Against Prior Lake, the Cougars led 4-3 after one quarter, with Berger scoring twice, before the Lakers caught fire and rattled off 17 consecutive goals. Their 9-0 run

Cougar golfer Pass places 7th in state meet BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Brody Pass made the best of his long-awaited first state golf tournament appearance, tying for seventh place in Class 3A with two solid rounds last week. The Centennial senior shot 74 on Tuesday and 72 on Wednesday at Bunker Hills for a 146 total, earning a spot on the podium to close his prep career. “All in all, I was pretty happy to be able to bounce back, after a rough start, and post pretty solid scores today, and put myself in the top 10,” Pass reflected. A varsity golfer since eighth grade, Pass barely missed qualifying for state BRUCE STRAND | PRESS PUBLICATIONS Brody Pass watches as a junior when he lost a playoff for the last slot. This year he qualified by his drive on No. 2 East at Bunker Hills. placing third in Section 5AAA. Coach Chris Kopp assessed: “I’d say his ball-striking is the best part of his

game. Plus, he’s mentally strong and doesn’t let anything bother him.” Centennial had two state qualifiers. Caden Lick, also a senior, had a tough first day, shooting 89, then cruised to a 76 on Wednesday for a 165 total, placing 72nd. Pass’s best round this year was 68 at Keller. His best at Bunker Hills, where the Cougars had five tournaments, was 70. On Wednesday, he suffered a double bogey in the first round with a bad third shot resulting in a penalty and finished three above par on the first nine. He shook it off and went three under par in the last nine, making three birdies. “I knew I had a lot of easy holes left where I could make birdies, so I wasn’t too worried,” he said. On No. 1, after a bad dive into the trees, he steered an approach shot from 168 yards over a tree to within eight feet and sank a putt breaking right to left for a birdie. “That was a good start to the back nine,” he said. On the last hole, he was up against a fence and then electrical boxes, but a judge granted him releases. Still in the woods, he sent a low hook six iron shot into the bunker, chipped out of the sand close to the pin, and made a par putt to stay in the top ten. Also a hockey player, Pass will play college golf at Purdue-Northwest, a Division II college near Chicago.

Five members of the Centennial softball team were named allNorthwest Suburban Conference and three made all-section after the Cougars (21-6) captured conference and section titles and placed fifth in the state tournament. BRUCE STRAND | CONTRIBUTED They are seniors Helene Krage Two of the Cougar (pitcher/first base), Bryn Ruhberg all-conference picks (catcher) and Alexa Just (shortstop); sophomore Adrianna Thomas (second were pitcher Riley O’Connell and catcher base); and freshman Riley O’Connell (pitcher/first base). It was the second Bryn Ruhberg. award for Krage and Just. Getting honorable mentions were junior Brooke Helseth (third base) and sophomore Lily Gilmore (center field). The team’s Cougars Award (character) went to senior Montana Miller (pitcher). Named all-Section 5AAA were Krage, Ruhberg and Just. Ruhberg also was a second-team coaches association allstate pick, and made the all-state tournament team. Top hitters were Ruhberg (.453, 13 doubles, one homer, 23 RBI’s), O’Connell (.367, one homer, nine RBI’s), Krage (.317, one homer, 15 RBI’s), Just (.318, 24 runs, 14 stolen bases), and Helseth (.297, 11 RBI’s). Krage posted a 9-3 pitching record, 1.03 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 65.7 innings. O’Connell had a 10-1 record, 0.70 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 79.7 innings.

Five members of the Centennial girls lacrosse team were named All-Northwest Suburban Conference after the Cougars finished 13-3 and placed second in both the conference and Section 7. BRUCE STRAND | CONTRIBUTED They are seniors Ella O’Hearn led the Neila Haney Cougars with 61 goals. (midfielder), Sydney Chance-Farley (mid/ defender) and Olivia Wlaschin (mid/defender); and juniors Callie Cody (attacker) and Ella O’Hearn (attack/defender). Megan Goodreau, senior attacker, got honorable mention. O’Hearn was named Most Valuable Player and top offensive player, while Wlaschin was named top defensive player and sophomore Maria Waller most improved. Cougar scoring leaders were O’Hearn (61 goals, 20 assists, 81 points), Haney (42-30-72), Cody (46-12-58), Farley (21-31-52), and Goodreau (19-29-48). Goalkeeper Peyton Brezney had a .506 save percentage. Bruce Strand

before the half included three goals by Justin Simonson and two each by Eric Dueffert and Jack Tocko. “We had the start that we wanted, but then they turned up the dial and started shooting lights out,” Beach said. “Their offense, when clicking, is the best in the state, and they showed us that.” The Lakers missed no more than three shots, he estimated. “Otherwise, they were picking corners.” In the Stillwater game, Berger pumped in five goals, giving him 10 for the tournament. He was named to the all-tourney team. Adams had two goals, and Carls, Rodriguez and Scherman one each. This was Centennial’s fourth state appearance, and the win over Chanhassen was the program’s first in a state tourney since the 2009 team placed third.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Now this is a start to Summer! After a relatively cool and mild Spring, we’ve really heated up as temperatures have soared well into the 90’s. Last year we also experienced a run of 90º temperatures but it occurred in early June. If you’re thinking if it’s 90º now, what will July and the rest of the Summer be like? Don’t worry. Just because it’s hot now, it doesn’t always translate into a hot summer. The jet stream has a way of balancing things out. If you’re a heat lover, enjoy. If you want cooler weather we’ll have that for you too. Garden note: my early Summer flowers are bursting with color. I’m picking strawberries and tomato plants are loving the hot temperatures. 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. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

• The city continues to receive a finding on its yearly audits (most recently the 2021 audit) regarding limited segregation of duties due to its size. Andy Berg, of Abdo, said that finding is very common for cities of comparable sizes to Lexington and “does not reflect negatively on the city.” • City Administrator Bill Petracek said the City Council will need to have more discussions about what it wants to do with water and sewer rates come budget time. • A vacancy has been declared on the City Council, after former Councilmember John Hughes unexpectedly passed away. The council plans to appoint resident Bobby Benson to fill the vacancy at the second meeting in July, which has been rescheduled from Thursday, July 21, to Wednesday, July 20 due to a scheduling conflict for Mayor Mike Murphy. Benson will finish out Hughes’ four-year term, which ends Dec. 31. The seat will be up for election this November. Benson, who is a 3-year-resident of Lexington, said, “It is a great city to be in and I just want to be able to serve the community a little bit more and make a difference and keep doing the work John was doing.” Also on July 20, the City Council will approve a proclamation to declare July 21 John Hughes Day. Members of Hughes’ family will receive a plaque in honor of John. • Several businesses have had their annual licenses renewed, they include: Curbside Waste, Aspen Waste, Walter’s Recycling & Refuse, Domino’s Pizza, Lake Drive Chiropractic, Northway Tobacco, Broadview Builders, State Farm (Scott Drummerhausen) Insurance, Lexington Square Chiropractic, Quick Fix, Ike’s Plumbing, Festival Foods, Annie’s Wok, Vaper’s Paradise and Muffler Doctor. Several restaurants and bars also have had their liquor licenses renewed, including: Boulevard Bar & Grille, Cowboy’s Saloon, Carbone’s Pizza and El Loro Mexican Grill & Cantina. The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 7 at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

development. The EDA sold 1.23 acres of land to Lino Lakes Assisted Living for an expansion in 2013 and 11 acres to DR Horton in 2015 for 112 town home units.

CONTRIBUTED

Silver Creek Equity, LLC is proposing to construct a market-rate, age-targeted, multi-family rental building, two restaurants and a multitenant retail building on approximately 6.27 acres near City Hall.

There are a number of conditions in the purchase agreement, including that Silver Creek Equity has a 120-day “due diligence period” to perform

inspections and engineering evaluations to determine site suitability. Closing on the property needs to happen within nine months of the agreement and at a minimum, Silver Creek must agree to build the apartment, one retail building and two restaurant buildings. If site construction does not begin within one year of closing, the city has the right to repurchase the property. Per the agreement, construction on a restaurant or retail building must commence before or concurrently with the multifamily building. Grochala said the city would not issue permits for the multi-family building until permits are pulled for one of the commercial pieces. “As we were walking through this whole process it was pretty clear that this wasn’t just an apartment deal, but also commercial and retail,” said Silver Creek Equity Partner Peter Jesh. “We don’t want to do the apartment unless we do the rest of it… We just can’t commit to doing the whole thing at once.” Jesh explained that they are already working with two

restaurant users, so those pieces would likely happen first. Mayor Rob Rafferty inquired about who the developer is working with in terms of architects and said he would like to see some examples of other projects. A representative of Silver Creek Equity explained that they have ongoing projects in Pine City and Arden Hills, but perhaps the best property to check out would be a project in Chanhassen that is 75% complete and could have a similar feel to the project in Lino Lakes. Silver Creek Equity still needs to get a planned unit development (PUD) and final plat approval. Both of those items will go through the advisory commissions and ultimately go to the City Council. “I’m very excited to see how this develops …” Rafferty said. “This is a very important piece of land for the city of Lino Lakes.” Managing Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@ presspubs.com.
