Tips for keeping your pet safe during summer celebrations

As Minnesotans gear up to celebrate the Fourth of July in a couple weeks, Animal Humane Society (AHS) is reminding pet owners that many pets experience noise aversion or noise phobias, which can be triggered by fireworks and firecrackers.

Now’s the time to start preparing your pet for cel- METRO CREATIVE | CONTRIBUTED ebrations. Here’s what pet owners can do to keep their pets safe: • Play recordings of firework sounds starting a few weeks before the Fourth of July. Start quietly and gradually turn up the volume while engaging your pet with treats and toys. This helps build a positive association with the sound.

•Don’t take your pet to fireworks displays, leave them in your car, or leave them outside unattended, even if fenced in. More pets go missing on the Fourth of July than any other day of the year. If your pet does go missing, visit the AHS website (www. animalhumanesociety.org/resource/lost-and-foundpet-resources) for tips on finding your lost pet.

• Create an indoor safe haven for your pet. Set up an interior room with bedding, treats, and toys. Shut the curtains, leave the lights on, and play white noise or music.

• Make sure your pet is wearing a collar and ID tags with your phone number and address. If your pet is microchipped, make sure your information is up to date.

The T-6 Thunder flight team is coming back this Fourth of July. The team has performed hundreds of fly-overs for over 20 years at various events in the Twin Cities area, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

T-6 Thunder to fly on the 4th of July

BY NOELLE OLSON EDITOR

The T-6 Thunder flight team will be busy this Fourth of July.

“The Fourth of July is crazy,” said Chuck Datko, pilot and founder of T-6 Thunder. “We'll

be in Forest Lake, Rice Lake, Wisconsin, Chetek, Wisconsin, flying over Stillwater, and at the parades in Apple Valley and Chanhassen. Then we polish it off at night in White Bear Lake.”

According to Datko, the T-6 aircraft was first introduced in

1940 and built by North American Aviation. There were 22,000 of them built between 1940 and 1945. They were also licensed to be built in Canada.

The T-6 Thunder began in 1995

Follow these tips to make sure you and your pet have a fun and stress-free summer.

4 local school districts boast a total of 47 National Merit Scholars During the fall of each school year, roughly 1.5 million students across the country take the PSAT or NMSQT test, entering into the running to be recognized as a National Merit Scholar.

Of the 1.5 million students who take the test, 50,000 — or about 3% — of the students are recognized as National Merit Scholars. These students qualify as either a “commended” student or, for those scoring even higher (in the top 1%), qualify as a “semifinalist.” A large number (15,000 of 16,000) of these semifinalists

are then recognized as “finalists,” who are eligible for National Merit Scholarships that will help them pay for their future education.

Students from Mounds View, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake and Centennial school districts scored high on their exams and earned honors for this award.

Mounds View School District was home to a large number of National Merit Scholars, a whopping total of 31 Scholars, all of whom scored in the top roughly 3% of test-takers. Fourteen of them were semifinalists and 13 were finalists, scoring in line with the top 16,000 test-takers in the nation.

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS • Centennial Fire District Station No. 3, located next to Centerville City Hall, will undergo a modest remodeling to better conduct departmentwide training, after council gave Assistant Fire Chief Matt Montain the green light.

Although the station had been remodeled within the past five years, staffing logistics have changed, and training space is now more important than office space, Montain said. A kitchen was installed in the space during the previous remodeling, and the newly proposed remodel preserves that investment by keeping the kitchen space intact. Staff will handle the work, keeping the cost very low, he said. The cost is estimated to be $5,651 using money from the general fund. Although council gave approval to use as much as $7,000, the goal for Montain and his crew will be to keep the cost close to the original proposed estimate. Montain said he expected the work to be complete within two months and offered to take council on a tour of the new digs.

• In 2013, with wet backyards an issue throughout town, the city passed a resolution giving itself authorization to participate in a cost share arrangement with groups of property owners who seek to resolve storm drainage problems. The city would come up with 25% of the cost, and the group of property owners would pay down the remaining 75% of the costs on their property taxes through special assessments. Property owners have five years to pay for the work, with interest set at 4.5%. If the property owners

WEEKLY WAG pay the entire assessment by Nov. 1, they will not pay interest.

There is a reserve budget for this program, and no one person is allowed to spend more than $10,000 in a year for a drainage project. Over time, larger projects have not been posed to the city until recently. However, the requests have come from individual property owners, not groups. After a discussion, council tabled action on the stormwater utility cost share with the Oak Circle Project and its special assessment agreement/waiver to consider the legalities and possible repercussions of opening up this opportunity to individual property owners.

• The property owner at 1746 Dupre Road has been given a variance to build a new shed.

The Planning and Zoning Commission at its June 6 meeting reviewed an application for the variance, which is needed because the new shed is 2 feet longer and 2 feet wider than the existing shed. The commission recommended approval of the variance because the old shed is more than 20 years old and dilapidated; the plight of the landowner is not self-caused; the land is triangular and creates a hardship; the shed will not alter the character of the neighborhood; and there are economic considerations.

• The property owners at 1810 Fox Run will be able to replace their existing split rail decorative fence with a new one within the city drainage/utility easement along the side lot line, after council approved an encroachment agreement. The necessary paperwork, including a letter

of agreement from the abutting property owner, a zoning permit, a review from the building inspector and appropriate fees, has all been submitted.

• The north side of town received crack filling treatment on its roads in 2022, and now it's time for the south side of town to receive the same road therapy.

City staff requested proposals from six vendors and received two quotes in return. Gopher State Sealcoat Inc. was awarded the 2022 project for the north side at $0.79 per lineal foot and was also awarded the 2023 contract for the south side at $0.84 per lineal foot. The total cost, estimated to be $48,300, will be funded with monies from the street fund.

• With City Administrator Mark Statz on leave, now is the time to authorize Assistant City Administrator Athanasia Lewis to perform banking and investment duties in Statz's absence.

The action by council will now authorize Statz, Lewis, Mayor D. Love and Acting Mayor Russ Koski to sign checks and authorize transactions at MidWestOne Bank. The action will also allow Lewis to authorize investment transactions initiated by Finance Director Bruce DeJong at MidWestOne Bank, the 4M Fund, and RBC. • With 2023 Fete des Lacs less than one month away, it was time for organizations to receive their permits to run the event.

Therefore, council approved a special event permit for the Centerville Lions Club to use Laurie LaMotte Park from July 14-16.

The club also received its temporary on-sale liquor and charitable gambling licenses. Because

the club is recognized as a 501(c) (3) organization, as well as a steward of the community that provides services and programs to residents, its permit fees will be waived, as has been the usual practice. Lions members will work cooperatively with the city to carry out the city celebration.

Fete des Lacs will take place from July 12-16.

• Center Market LLC at 1801 Main Street has received its off-sale and 3.2 liquor licenses following submittal of its applications and fees and completion of background checks by the Centennial Lakes Police Department.

• Juneteenth has been declared a state holiday. The new law was originally supposed to become effective on Aug. 1, but a provision to amend the effective date of the new law was adopted and signed by the governor.

This means that city offices were closed on Monday, June 19, and city employees given a new holiday. City staff requested that council add this new holiday, with compensation for employees, to the already approved holiday calendar for 2023 and to review the 2024 holiday calendar at another time. At issue is whether floater holidays will remain intact for 2024. When staff drafts the 2024 budget, they will consider whether the city will grant 10 or 11 paid days off for employees.

The council next meets at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 28, at City Hall, 1880 Main St. Loretta Harding

Bibi (a.k.a.

Beebs, Beebers or B2) is a sweet, sensitive, gentle and playful young lady.

She is 4 years old and weighs about 60 pounds.

Bibi is a shepherd/pit bull mix who arrived at Ruff Start Rescue from a local shelter. Her foster says Bibi has a heart of gold, soulful eyes and endless love to give.

Bibi is a Velcro dog; she is social and friendly to everyone she meets and she wants to be with her people at all times. Bibi loves all the attention she can get from her human companions. She loves to play fetch but when she’s not with her people, Bibi is content playing with her stuffed and/or squeaky toys.

Bibi is house-trained and crate-trained, and she knows her basic commands. She is well-behaved and enjoys going for walks. Bibi is social with other dogs and she enjoys playing with them.

In fact, Bibi would make a great addition to a family with other pets.

If you are interested in learning more about Bibi 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.

SCHOOL BRIEF Minnesota recognizes schools for sustaining PBIS through pandemic Eighty-seven schools representing 31 districts, and six districts coordinating, are being recognized for sustaining positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) for the 2022-23 school year. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) recognized 87 schools, including Rice Lake Elementary School, for successful work during the 2022-23 school year engaging in sustained PBIS implementation, an evidence-based framework for preventing problem behavior, providing instruction and support for positive and prosocial behaviors, and supporting social, emotional and behavioral needs

for all students.

Minnesota Statutes, section 122A.627 (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=122A.627) defines the key components that make PBIS effective for all students, including students with the most intensive needs. Schools and districts must meet several requirements and sustain these efforts over time to be honored and recognized.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic and staff shortages in recent years, exemplary schools and districts have ensured that students are at the forefront of decision-making by developing ongoing professional development, including training and coaching to retain and develop new teachers and staff.

Happy anniversary

une 27 is my husband and I’s eighth wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it has been eight years.

My husband Patrick and I met through a mutual friend while I was attending the University of Minnesota Duluth. One of my classmates was actually staying with Patrick at the time and I met him in passing many times while hanging out with her. (My husband is originally from Esko.)

It didn’t take long before we started dating. We were technically only dating for one month before we got engaged. People thought we were Shannon’s crazy, but as cliché as it may sound, when you know you know.

Shenanigans We spent two years saving up for and planning our wedding and on Shannon June 27, 2015 we said “I do” at CrysGranholm tal Lake Golf Course in Lakeville.

It was close to 90 degrees that day.

Since that day we have been through a lot together. I often say 2015 was both the best year and worst year of my life. That December, right before Christmas, my dad passed away. At a time when we were supposed to be happy newlyweds with not a care in the world, my whole world fell apart. But Patrick stood by my side, as he always has, and got me through a really tough time.

Throughout the years we have been through job changes and many moves. We have lived in Carlton, West Concord, Oakdale and now Hugo.

We have also been through some scary times with our pups, Frosty and Twinkie. When Frosty was just 8 months old, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Thankfully with treatment she was able to get rid of it.

When Twinkie was just 8 months old, we discovered she had a genetic heart defect. If she didn’t have surgery, the doctors predicted she would only live about a year longer. Thankfully, the surgery went well.

Years later when she was 5, another emergency surfaced that required surgery. One of her eyes was not producing any tears. We tried a variety of different eye drops but none of them seemed to do the trick. One day she developed an ulcer on her eye and we had to rush her to the emergency hospital so her eye did not rupture. They had to remove her eye but we are so thankful she is still with us.

We have had lots of happy times too, from our mini moon in Okoboji, Iowa to our honey moon in Destin, Florida, to our baby moon Lake City, Minnesota. We have also enjoyed many trips up north as well as attending car shows with my VW bus or Patrick’s hot rod.

Now eight years into our marriage we have welcomed our first child, Royce.

For our anniversary this year, the three of us are going on a dinner cruise with Stillwater River Boats.

Summer festivals Tis the season for summer festivals. Hugo Good Neighbor Days 2023 is already in the books and White Bear Lake’s Manitou Days is going on right now through July 4 and Marketfest through July 27. Next up will be Centerville’s Fete des Lacs July 11-16; Shoreview’s Slice of Shoreview July 23-25; Lino Lakes’ Blue Heron Days Aug. 17-20; Vadnais Heights’ Heritage Days Aug. 19-20 and Lexington’s Fall Festival Sept. 22-24. Make sure to check out all of these great events!

Collaboration is key

A

s I cross the border into the city of Centerville or crest the hill of I-35E and see the water tower with our name on it, I feel a certain sense of pride. It’s a city full of great people who care about their neighbors, a city I call home.

Established in 1857 a year before Minnesota became a state, we are steeped in history and traWe celeMovers & dition. brate our past as we look excitedly Shakers towards our future. As we D. Love focus on what is good for Centerville and the citizens of our city, we understand that in many instances, it’s a team sport.

Many years ago, leaders of our city determined public safety could be provided more economically through partnerships. We teamed up with the communities of Circle Pines and Lexington to form Centennial Lakes Police Department. This partnership has served us well over the years as we have a well-trained department with a communi-

ty policing focus. Our citizens feel safe as there is a consistent presence within the community. We also have a partnership with Circle Pines to provide our fire services. Centennial Fire is the first entity on site to protect our homes and respond during medical emergencies, but we have mutual aid agreements with the other departments in the area. We also contract with SBM Fire to provide our management services. Our system of providing public safety has long been the envy of other cities and is the wave of the future as we face rising costs and worker shortages.

Our collaborative efforts do not halt there, Centerville teams up with many other cities including Circle Pines, Lexington and Lino Lakes to form Centennial School District. The school district is a key element for many younger families’ desires to live in our area. Forward thinking on educational goals and processes allows the school district to provide top notch education. Our students consistently find success in their postsecondary education and lives.

Each year we work with Centerville Elementary and Centennial Middle School on logo contests for our Fete de Lacs summer

festival. We partner with the High School administration on our Junior Council Member Program.

Due to the success of our collaborative efforts, we are consistently looking for other ways to form partnerships; we have a water inter-connect with Lino Lakes, we have an agreement with Hugo for street cleaning we have an agreement with Rice Creek Watershed District to prepare one set of reports to meet state reporting guidelines, which saves us engineering time and expense.

We find value in inviting other stake holders such as state representatives, senators, county commissioners and Met Council representatives to our meetings to build relationships.

We encourage participation in statewide and national boards and commissions by our council members and staff.

Providing for the needs of the citizens of Centerville is our number one priority, but we understand doing so, often requires us to partner with others therefore making us “Stronger Together.”

D. Love is the Mayor of Centerville.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Eagle Brook Church, a multisite church based out of Hugo, will build a new location in Rochester.

Church officials recently signed a land agreement for a site located in Cascade Township near 75th Street Northwest. This comes as a

change from their regular services, which are held in the Mayo Civic Center, a less permanent option chosen by the church in order to expand beyond the metropolitan area.

Construction of the church is set to start at the end of 2024, but services will continue to be held in the Mayo Civic Center.

The church began as intimate

Sunday services hosted in a quaint White Bear Lake home in the year 1948. It was originally a Baptist church, but dropped its label in an effort to welcome followers from all denominations.

Today, Eagle Brook continues to expand beyond its original sites and reach new churchgoers.

when Datko and another pilot were asked to do a fly-over in a parade.

“We did that, and it was a hit,” Datko said. “Then somebody talked to somebody else and the next thing you know, we had two and then three of them.”

Datko organized a group of other T-6 and SNJ (Navy version of the T-6) pilots in the area to fly in formation at airshows and other aviation events in 1996.

“Back then there were 14 aircraft and 16 pilots in what I would call the extended area from Fargo, North Dakota, to Mason City, Iowa, to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to Aberdeen, South Dakota,” Datko said. “These are all privately owned aircraft, and these guys were all scattered around.”

The wife of one of the pilots suggested the name “T-6 Thunder” and it took off from there. By the year 2000, the flight team was doing 20 or 30 events a year.

“We do funerals with missing man formation at Fort Snelling,” Datko said. “We started doing professional sporting events, the Vikings, Twins, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, University of South Dakota and the Green Bay Packers.”

Datko, of Coon Rapids, is a retired business owner. He has owned a variety of airplanes over the years. His hangar at Anoka County Airport in Blaine has housed a Piper Cub, Piper Apache, Boeing Model 75 "Stearmen," Piper Cherokee and an L-29 Delfin Jet Trainer, just to name a few. But the aircraft that was most closely associated with him was his T-6 Texan.

“Fuel is the single biggest expense of owning the aircraft,” Dat-

ko said. “There are maintenance issues, and these planes are 70some years old to begin with, and they're meticulously maintained.

There's all sorts of FAA and government requirements. The plane has to have annual inspections like all aircraft, and they're quite an investment. They were a little cheaper back then, but not much.

But in the last few years, they've really gone up in value. The aver-

“The T-6 Thunder will just keep going until there’s no more pilots.”

Chuck Datko Pilot and founder of T-6 Thunder age plane is (valued) somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000.”

T-6 Thunder currently has six pilots — a retired Delta Airlines captain, an orthopedic doctor and surgeon, an eye doctor and surgeon, Datko, a retired businessman and retired astronaut Curt Brown.

“He was a commander of the Space Shuttle Discovery, and he did six missions,” Datko said. “He's typically my wingman; I usually lead the flights and he's he's number two off of my left.”

According to Datko, after World War II, the Lend-Lease Act set up a system that would allow the U.S. to lend or lease war supplies to any nation deemed vital to the defense of the U.S. “Most of T-6s were scrapped,” he said. “A lot of them were given or sold to foreign countries. They were used by 22 foreign countries as their Air Force.”

Datko said one or two T-6 planes crash every year, but there is al-

ways someone that is resurrecting one.

“There's about 400 left in the world,” he said. “I think over 300 are registered here in the United States, but there's only about 120 flying and you can see about 50 of them if you go to Oshkosh."

Every summer there is an airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, at Wittman Regional Airport. This year's event is from Monday, July 24, to Sunday, July 30.

Datko is going to turn 79 this year. “I am reaching a point where I am literally going to be forced out of flying because of the fact that when you reach 80 years old, there's not an insurance company that will insure you, period.”

The future of the T-6 Thunder is up in the air. They did 65 events last year and sometimes have to turn down events due to a pilot shortage — pilots are hard to find these days.

“The T-6 Thunder will just keep going until there's no more pilots,” Datko said. “Some lose their medical license and we've had three pass away. Every year we're getting older, and then we run up against a bumper where you can't be insured.”

Flying airshows for spectators is dear to Datko's heart. He's not ready to retire from flying just yet.

“It's gone beyond just the flying now,” Datko said. “Now the point is what it means to the people on the ground. I've got a box of letters and cards from people thanking us for what we do. The emails that I've gotten, especially when we do this at the cemeteries, really touch people. I even get goosebumps myself when I fly over Fort Snelling … my mother and father are buried there.”

State senator sums up session

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Senator Heather Gustafson paid a visit to the Centerville City Council to sum up legislative happenings impacting the city.

As a former teacher in the Centennial School District and vice chair of the Education Finance Committee, Gustafson said that sustainable funding for schools was the most noteworthy item on her list to report. “Centerville is dear to my heart,” she said.

“It's important to me that we fund schools.”

The new education funding formula will provide an increase of 4% for the 2023-24 school year and a 2% increase for the 2024-25 school year, Gustafson said. For the 202526 school year and beyond, the formula increase will be linked to inflation with a minimum increase of 2% and a maximum increase of 3%.

“This is dependable money that we will see — the Centennial School District had been asking for that,” she said.

In addition, Centennial Schools will see its own adjusted formula increase by more than $2 million, which is a big boost for the district as well, Gustafson said.

In more education news, student mental health, which had been an area of concern, received help with a new personnel aid program, Gustafson said. Schools will now be able to hire nurses and psychologists, and there is now a mental health 911 line, she said.

Municipalities will also benefit from the session that ended on May 23. Specifically, Centerville will receive $25,315 in local government aid next

year, after having received nothing last year. With public safety aid, municipalities will receive money to pay off contracts with their public safety agencies or buy an ambulance or fire equipment. There are many options for cities, who can use public safety money for anything involving public safety, Gustafson said. In addition, some $400,000 per year has been earmarked for “pathways to policing” to encourage more people to consider law enforcement as a career and to provide essentials such as body armor.

The Legislature also turned its attention to addressing carjacking by defining it and adding significant penalties for engaging in it. If convicted, a person could receive up to 20 years in prison and/ or maximum fine of $25,000, Gustafson said.

Finally, the Legislature gave a nod to senior citizens with a $1.24 billion reduction in Social Security and pension taxes. Some 76% of Minnesota seniors will no longer pay the Minnesota Social Security tax, though they will still have to pay tax at the federal level, Gustafson said. Some 86% of seniors will receive Social Security tax relief and another 10% will receive a significant reduction in their taxes, effective Jan. 1, 2024. “I would like to have seen it be 100%,” she said.

Before leaving the podium, Gustafson gave council members her contact information.

“I'm happy to be of service in any way I can,” she said.

NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARS: Centennial High School produces 2 FROM PAGE 1

Merit University of Oklahoma Scholarship; Huang and Zhou have both been selected for 3M scholarships; and Li has earned the $2,500 National Merit Scholarship.

Commended students from Mounds View High School and Irondale High School included: Ian Buerge, Henry Cahoon, Barbara Danku (Irondale), Puna Ekka (Irondale), Monica Gadela, Sophia Huang, Tara Martin, Mateo Nacusi, Lucia Nitti, Samuel Notch, Jack Ohmann, Shaurya Sehgal, Emma Sun, Lily Thai (Irondale), Arnou Thammarak (Irondale), Skylar Weirens and Leigha Wood.

Mahtomedi Public Schools’ Mahtomedi High School tallied 13 total National Merit students with seven finalists and four students who won scholar-

ships for college. The finalists were: Christian Armitage*, Marney Goeser, Anusha Khandpur*, Luke Krier, Brady Lawrence, Juliana Nyberg* and Craig Tarnowski* (*represents scholarship recipient).

Commended students from Mahtomedi High School included: John Gibbens, Connor Hagen, Isaiah Horsager, Angus Macchesney, Sarah Reisdorf and Joseph Wald.

“We are extremely proud of our students, as this demonstrates a strong commitment to academics and personal success. All of them are great representatives of Mahtomedi High School,” said Principal Justin Hahn.

Centennial School District produced two National Merit Scholars this school year, including finalist Michelle Li and

commended student Evan L. Pouliot.

Centennial High School Principal Tom Breuning noted that clearly both Li and Pouliot are academically skilled, but that both students are also extremely involved in the school community.

Li participated in Centennial’s music department, National Honor Society (NHS) and Centennial Students for Change.

“You name it, Michelle was in it,” Breuning said.

Pouliot participated in cross-country and NHS. Both students are a part of the class that encountered COVID-19 during their freshman year and both have played a big part in the culture and climate that exists at Centennial High School, Breuning said.

PUBLIC NOTICE CITY OF LINO LAKES

Our hot temperatures have been around for awhile but we reeled off several days of 90’s last week, as the first week of summer kicked off. One thing that was missing was tropical dew points, dew points in the 70’s.

The upper winds have cut off Gulf moisture which have kept dew points in the upper 50’s and low 60’s. Minnesota’s version of a “dry heat.” The upper winds did change as we headed into the weekend and some of us were blessed with RAIN!! Yay! Amounts varied wildly but I think most of us received at least a half inch. Others as much as two inches. Seasonablelike temperatures are in store for us this period.

Liu, injury-plagued Cougar state champ, sparkles at Bethel

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Landen Liu, the Centennial sprinter who was a state champion as a junior and an injured bystander as a senior, got back on the track at Bethel this year, showing flashes of his old brilliance.

Liu was named MIAC Track Athlete of the Week twice during the winter indoor season. He set three team sprint records during his freshman year.

However, he was limited to three meets in the outdoor season due to pain returning from various maladies.

“I’ll keep going. I feel hopeful,” said Liu, who got back to training last week after a month off at the suggestion of his coach. About his track goals, he stated, “To see what I am capable of.

Obviously, I want to win as much as I can, but mainly I want to see what (times) I can achieve, having been hindered with injuries so long.”

Liu’s first injury was a fractured vertebrae as a junior at CHS while running during the section meet. He soldiered on and qualified for state in the 100 and 200. At state, he didn’t do well in the 100, due to the pain, but resolved to “just suck it up” in the 200.

“Let’s do this, and see what I can do,” Liu told himself. Running through the pain, he won the 200 in 22.13 seconds at St. Michael-Albertville. His PR had been 21.56 in the section.

BETHEL UNIVERSITY | CONTRIBUTED

Landen Liu set Bethel records in the 60, 100- and 200-meter sprints.

His senior year, Liu ran just one race, the 100, and buckled up in pain, then sat out the season with hamstring, back and groin injuries, Liu stayed with the team, helping fellow sprinters (especially Emily Anderson, who medaled in two sprints at state) in their workouts and offering advice.

Interviewed by The Clarion, Bethel’s student newspaper, in early March, Liu reflected, “It really took me to lose my senior year for me to reflect on who I was becoming... to remember that I do this for God and not myself.”

Still, last summer, his injuries were not getting better, and in the fall, at Bethel, he had to stop his training because it felt like his hamstrings were

going to tear every time he ran.

While praying for answers, Liu told the Clarion that God gave him a date: Nov. 14. He even texted his mother to write down that date. Weeks went by. A spine specialist told Liu that he didn’t know why the back pain persisted, but recommended another specialist, Dr. Josh Sandell, who works with pro athletes, at Synthetics.

The day of his appointment was, yes, Nov. 14, and Dr. Sandell put him on some physical therapy methods that worked. Liu got back into running shape for the indoor season starting in January. “I owe a lot to that guy. I had seen five or six doctors before him,” said Liu, who is now interning for Dr.

Sandell as a lab assistant.

Liu, 5-foot-11 and 140 pounds, had an excellent indoor season, capped by medaling twice in the NCAA Division III meet in March, as he placed fourth in the 60 meters (6.78) and sixth in the 200 meters (21.56) at UW-Lacrosse. He had won both races at the MIAC indoor meet in February with 6.76 and 21.99.

He set Bethel records in both those distances and grabbed the 100 meter record as well in the MIAC outdoor meet where he placed first in the preliminaries with 10.59 seconds.

However, the months of competition took their toll and he was in too much pain again to run in the finals. “Oh, it hurt. A lot. I felt pain mostly in my groin and abdomen,” Liu said. “I only ran in three outdoor meets.” He did return a week later to try qualify for nationals in the Augustana Midwest Twilight Qualifier at Augusta, where he placed second but his 10.72 was not fast enough.

Liu is majoring in Bio-Kinetics (“similar to kinesiology”). He followed his mother, Jackie, to Bethel; she was a standout sprinter there herself. His huskier twin brother Lance, who was a star fullback in football and thrower in track at CHS, attends the U of M and is not in sports. Landen said he’s happy at Bethel and looking forward to seeing what he can get done the next three years, if he can get his maladies under control.

In the absence of human-created attractions, bears rely on small, scattered patches of natural foods: specific types of young green vegetation in spring, certain species of ants and ant pupae in June, berries in summer and nuts in fall. But if bears can get access to concentrated, high-calorie, easily accessible foods around people’s homes and campsites,

they are quickly enticed away from their natural food sources.

It is important to secure anything that a bear would consider food.
