Lennar signs contract with Mattamy Homes for large Lino Lakes development BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
LINO LAKES — Since February, a proposed 871unit residential community's future was left in limbo after Mattamy Homes decided to
pull out of the Minnesota housing market and sell off its existing land holdings, including Watermark. Watermark is located in the northwest quadrant of I-35E and County Road 14/ Main Street. Its boundaries
encompass 12 parcels totaling approximately 372 gross acres. The development was planned as a residential mix of 706 single-family lots and 165 townhomes. Lennar recently signed a contract with Mattamy
been around since 1954. Representatives from Mattamy Homes and Lennar visited the City Council during a special work session June 26 to discuss and

Project Lifesaver: Bringing loved ones home safely BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
LINO LAKES — Although Lino Lakes has a population of over 20,000, as of last week only one client is registered for Project Lifesaver, a program offered through the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department. The department is hoping to change that. “There are over 20,000 people in Lino (Lakes) and we know that we have a need for it, but the people aren't coming forward,” said Officer Jackie McIntosh, who has been with the department for nearly 10 years. “Either they don't know about it, or they have questions and haven't had the time to ask, or maybe they think they can't afford it.” After Anoka County disbanded its program in 2014, Lino Lakes took it over. The department received a grant to start up its own program, purchase the necessary equipment and train four officers. In 2015, another grant was obtained to purchase additional equipment and to provide some financial assistance to families interested in participating in the program, who might not financially be able to do so. “The purpose (of the program) is to assist in locating members of the public who are at risk or wander due to specific medical conditions,” McIntosh explained. “It helps bringing peace of mind to the caretakers and family members with loved ones that can benefit from the program. The whole purpose is to bring them home safe.” Project LifeSaver is a nonprofit organization that bridges the technological gap for at-risk populations and public safety agencies. It provides police, fire/rescue and other first responders with a comprehensive program on the use of specialized electronic search and rescue equipment, technology and procedures, as well as training to teach rescuers how to effectively communicate with people afflicted with cognitive conditions. Project Lifesaver has over 1,600 participating member agencies throughout 50 states in the U.S., six provinces in Canada and Australia, and has performed over 3,000 searches over the last 18 years with no serious injuries or fatalities ever reported. “It is appropriate for anyone who is at risk to wander, or who wanders, who does not know they need help or can't ask for help,” McIntosh said. Project Lifesaver serves various populations who have medical conditions including Alzheimer's, dementia, Down syndrome, autism or a traumatic brain injury. Project Lifesaver clients wear a FM transmitter, typically on their ankle or wrist. In some cases, the transmitter may be fixed to a particular item or piece of clothing, if a client never leaves the house without that item/clothing. “Typically, we want it on their body; it always goes with them. It is about the size of a smart watch,” McIntosh said. “It goes through the shower, it goes through the dirt, everything with the client.” If a client goes missing, before starting to search the client's caretaker or family member will immediately call dispatch to inform them that a Project Lifesaver client is missing. Law enforcement is then able to locate the client using a FM receiver to track the client's unique FM frequency. McIntosh said Project Lifesaver is an important

program to have, especially in an area such as Lino Lakes. “With the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes system, we understand that we have a lot of wooded and marshy territory in the city where somebody could easily disappear, especially with certain populations that can be attracted to water,” she said. “We are covering 33 square miles.” McIntosh added the city has two senior living facilities in addition to multiple group homes.
“It takes a huge weight off of your shoulders to know you can go to sleep and if, God forbid, something happens, they aren’t out there alone. We can get them back quickly.” Jackie Peterson Lino Lakes resident Lino Lakes resident Jackie Peterson utilized the program for her daughter, Anya, who is now 10 years old. Anya was a client of Project LifeSaver through the county until the program was disbanded and continued as a client with the Lino Lakes program for another two years. Anya was diagnosed with autism when she was 25 months old. Until she was about 5 years old, she was nonverbal and had some learning delays. “Because she wasn't verbal, it showed her what police officers are like, they are friendly, nice and you can go to them for help,” Peterson said. “That is one of the fears within the
autism community: officers are there to help you, but do our children know that?” Peterson added the monthly interaction was huge for both Anya and her other children. If the family was experiencing a technology problem or needed new equipment, Peterson said the officers always came out right away and made the family's schedule work. “You very much still need to keep your guard up. This isn't a safeguard that your kid is not going to be able to get out of the house or get away from you. But if it did happen, it gives the people the necessary resources to find your child quickly before something happens,” she said. The department is only able to offer the program to Lino Lakes residents, but McIntosh said the department would consider clients who live within a mile or two of the city's borders on a case-by-case basis. Cost for the program for the first year is $310, which includes the transmitter, transmitter case, necessary maintenance and batteries/bands. Each year after that the cost is $43, which pays for the year's 12 batteries/bands. Since the batteries/bands have to be changed once a month, the assigned officer visits the client once a month, which McIntosh said, “allows us to build positive relationships with the client.” Currently, three officers are trained for the program, but McIntosh's goal is to get all of the patrol staff up to speed and properly trained for Project Lifesaver. For more information, contact Jackie McIntosh at jackie. mcintosh@ci.lino-lakes.mn.us or 651-982-2347. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-4071227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Hedgehog FAQs
E
verywhere I go with my little ball of quills people want to know who she is . . . so I tell them. Yes, she’s a hedgehog. Her name is Ginger. She’s blonde — not albino — a recessive gene that makes her quills cinnamon and gingercolored. Hedgehogs are born in many shades — salt and pepper or chocolate brown are the most common. No, she doesn’t shoot her quills like a porcupine. Actually, they are technically spines, not quills. They feel bristly like a hairbrush or beard, but you might get poked if she curls into a ball. Yes, she might be nervous or shy about meeting you, which is Story why she starts to curl into a ball. Or she might be tired. Hedgehogs Chaser are nocturnal and she probably Sara Marie Moore ran a few miles on her exercise wheel last night. When she gets up in the late afternoon, it is early morning for her and she sticks out her two-inch long tongue and yawns. If she makes a huffi ng noise, then she is really nervous. No, it’s not too hard to take care of her. She eats cat food, mealworms, eggs and fruit. She lives in a rabbit hutch inside, which needs to be cleaned often. She uses a litter box, but not 100 percent. She often has an urge while exercising on her wheel. To give her a bath, I brush her with a toothbrush in warm water with oatmeal soap and coconut oil. Yes, she was expensive. I got her for $250 from a breeder. I took her home at six weeks old. She is full size at six months. She went through the “terrible twos” when she shed her baby quills and grew in adult quills. It is uncomfortable, like a baby teething. She was grumpy and curled into a ball and made huffing noises more often. No, she is not a wild animal native to the U.S. She is an African pygmy hedgehog, which was bred for domestication from two types of wild hedgehogs about 30 years ago. She looks and acts differently than wild hedgehogs in Africa, Asia and Europe. She still has some wild nature in her; the more time I spend with her, the tamer she becomes. She loves to snuggle in a blanket. Yes, she is a great pet — but not for everyone. She needs a lot of unconditional love, understanding and fortitude. She is near-sighted so she can’t see well what is going on around her, which is why she can be timid. I spend lots of time with her so she gets to know my voice and smell. I pet her from her nose to her back so she knows it is me. But she still huffs and puffs into a spiky ball sometimes. No, she won’t live long. The lifespan of domesticated hedgehogs is four years. They are susceptible to cancer and a neurological condition called wobbly hedgehog syndrome. They can also get mites or infections. There are vets who treat hedgehogs. Yes, she is adorable. She slowly pokes out her snout out from her ball of quills as she sniffs the world and uncurls. She explores her surroundings and then finds a cozy place to burrow. If she comes across an interesting smell, she will lick and chew the object, salivate and spread the new smell on her quills, a normal behavior called “anointing.” She is camouflaging herself with the smell, or perhaps wants to perfume herself. No one really knows why. Yes, ask me more questions. I love talking about her. She is fascinating — both cuddly and prickly, a pet for those who are intrigued by paradoxes and enjoy an adventurous challenge.

Three-day cooling-off law for contracts

onsumers enter into contracts for a variety of products and services. Some consumers mistakenly believe they have a legal right to cancel any contract within a three-day “cooling-off” period.

When a transaction is covered by this law, you have three business days to cancel the contract. Under the law, you must send a written request to the address provided by the seller.

Ex-Centennial hoops coach lands a plumb job at DeLaSalle BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
When Travis Bledsoe resigned as Centennial’s boys basketball coach in April, he had one of the most coveted jobs in Minnesota high school sports waiting for him. Bledsoe, after three seasons with a 39-45 record as the Cougar head coach, was hired by DeLaSalle, his alma mater, to take over a team that has won six consecutive state championships. The previous state record was four in a row. Centennial’s Activity Director Brian Hegseth announced last week Dave Frasier is Bledsoe’s successor. He is a Spring Lake Park native, has been an assistant coach at Bethel College, Spring Lake Park, Coon Rapids and most recently GlencoeSilver Lake. The Quad Community Press will
expand on this in a future edition. Bledsoe, who was a Mr. Basketball finalist in 2005 at DeLaSalle, and was captain of the University of North Dakota team, has already dived into his new position, running the “future Islander” camps that feed into the Minneapolis parochial school’s massive success. Bledsoe succeeds Dave Thorson, who left after 23 years, and a state Travis Bledsoe record nine state championships, to re-enter the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant at Drake University in Iowa. Thorson was a Minnesota Gophers assistant before arriving at DeLaSalle. If ever a job could be described as “huge shoes to
fi ll,” it was this one, and DeLaSalle entrusted the task to Bledsoe. “He’s a strong teacher, an advocate for the individual skill development of his athletes as well as the personal and spiritual development of young men,’’ stated Adam Pribyl, DeLaSalle’s director of student activities, said in a press release. “He has himself been a stellar high school and collegiate athlete and in that context, fully understands the commitment necessary to achieve excellence.” While playing guard for Thorson, Bledsoe took part in two state tournaments but didn’t win one of the 11 state crowns DeLaSalle has captured overall. He played on a state runner-up as a sophomore. With three returning starters, including two alltournament picks, the ex-Centennial coach has a good chance to rack up that elusive state title with the Islanders next March.
Driving with authority When I’m on the teaching tee, I’ve noticed that most players spend quite a bit of time hitting their driver. In an 18 hole round of golf, you will use your driver a maximum of 14 times. You will probably use your short irons twice as often. So why are we obsessed with the driver? Because if you hit it in the sweet spot, it goes a long way. This puts you in a better position to come away with a good score on a long par 4 or 5. A reliable driving game is a common denominator of all good golfers. Regardless of your abilities, a successful drive off the fi rst tee sets a positive tone for the entire round. Most drives are missed before the ball has even been struck – in the set-up. The set up alignments for the driver are different than any other club. The drive is the only shot in golf where you have the opportunity to place the ball on a perfect lie every time. Therefore, you really should spend time and perfect your set up so you are consistent every single time. First, make sure you tee the ball up high. Most amateurs tee the ball too low, and they also hit down on the ball with a glancing blow. I am a believer in “tee it high, let it fly”. I use a longer 2 &
3/4 tee and peg it so it’s as high as possible. To start the set up, place your feet together with the ball in the middle of your stance. Keeping your left heel on the ground, flare your left toe out slightTee Time ly towards the target. From there, take a step Betsy to the side with your right foot (for right Larey handed golfers) that is the width of your shoulders. Your right foot should be pointing ahead of you, not flared. The ball position should be off your left instep, with your hands slightly behind the ball. Make sure that your feet and shoulders are parallel to each other and the target line. A lot of golfers think they should close their stance slightly, like the pros. I disagree unless you are a perfect driver of the ball. Remember, if you can’t see your left shoulder with your left eye at address you are opening your shoulders, which unfortunately most people do. Since the driver is the longest club in your bag, you should feel like you’re reaching out a bit more with your
hands. (Your arms and hands should still be relaxed with a light grip pressure) If you do this correctly, three things will happen automatically; your right shoulder will be lower than your left, your spine and head will be slightly behind the ball, and your weight will be 60 percent on your right side. I feel the need to say this again; most players have their shoulders open at address. Make sure your left shoulder is higher than your right, and you can see your left shoulder with your left eye at address. This correct set up means that you will be hitting the ball on an ascending blow, not a descending blow as you would with your irons. If I had to pick the two mistakes I see most often with drivers, it’s setting up directly over the ball vs. behind (spine, head, hands and weight) and hitting down on the ball instead of up. If your set up is correct, both of these errors are eliminated. There’s a great practice drill that will help you “feel” what the swing plane should be. Tee the ball up as high as you can. Take your normal set up and then lift the club a foot off of the ground (this is done by hinging your writs, not standing up!). Then take a normal swing, going over the tee. Starting
with the club off the ground promotes a flatter takeaway and a more rounded feeling at the top. This should feel more like a baseball swing instead of a golf swing. It will also help you understand that the driver has a flatter, more rounded swing than any other club in your bag. A good tempo is critical when you hit your driver. Don’t be tempted to swing too fast. I’d rather be down the middle of the fairway and 20 yards shorter than the next fairway over. The biggest mistake made with the driver is blocking to the right. It’s easy to do because of the length of the club. A lot of Tour players have gone to shorter drivers, and I think you’d be better served to do the same.

WATERMARK: Council shares concerns with new developer’s plans FROM PAGE 1
gather feedback from city staff and the council on the development's plans, now that it has changed hands. Mayor Jeff Reinert said, “I am happy someone is interested in it, and I'm glad we are having an introduction and a chance to communicate.” “For the most part, the vision that was laid out by Mattamy is being preserved,” said Lennar Land Development Area Manager Joe Jablonski. “The road connections, trail features and roads remain in the same location.” The number of units is proposed to increase from 871 to 896. One of the major differences is in the townhome portion of the development. Lennar would like to add villas, which are detached, single-level townhomes on 55- and 65-footwide lots that have a two- or three-car garage. The 1,600- to 2,220-square-foot product is geared toward empty nesters. The villas would replace Mattamy's proposed singlefamily units on 44-foot-wide lots. “We lost quite a few lots (in the area) to accommodate a bigger product type. We felt there was a need to
accommodate a bigger product type,” Jablonski said. Reinert liked the addition of the villas. “That is a product that not a lot of builders are building. That's a nice plus,” he said. One of Reinert's major concerns is Lennar is proposing to drop the number of 75-foot-wide lots by 124 units (from 174 to 50). “I wouldn't vote for this. There is a lot of orange, and we had a lot of yellow before (referring to the map legend that depicts the decrease of 75-foot-wide lots and increase of 55- and 65-foot-wide lots),” he said. “We did make a compromise to 75 (feet) on this project when we were working with Mattamy, because our standard is 80 (feet). There was a lot of give and take over a two-year period, and we got to the point where we thought it was a pretty good project. This was supposed to be primarily a single-family development. I think this changes the feel of the entire development.” Councilman Rob Rafferty added, “I am far more comfortable with elimination of the 44-foot lots, I was never comfortable with that. At the same time, we just lost a lot of 75-foot-wide lots.” Rafferty also said he wanted to ensure Lennar has the homeowner's
association details worked out before the company starts building, and that it isn't planning to pull out after completing the first phase. “Our intention is to be the master developer for the entire site,” Jablonski said. Councilman Michael Manthey said he was concerned that the park is not part of the first phase of development. “The park was supposed to be the crown jewel. We were told it was going to be put in right away.” He was also concerned the
“grand entrance” proposed by Mattamy also was not included in the first phase. Another thing up in the air is the proposed clubhouse. Jablonski said the company is not yet certain what type of amenity will go in that spot. The developer is still trying to get all of the lot sizes figured out and is also getting to know the community better. Lennar is proposing to begin construction of Phase 1 at the south end of the site, along the 21st Avenue extension, this fall. The first phase would
consist of approximately 20 townhomes and 10 singlefamily detached homes. The developer plans to submit a preliminary plat revision application by July 10 with the hope of visiting the Planning and Zoning Board in August and council in September for approvals. The project is scheduled to be discussed again at a council work session July 5. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its June 26 meeting: • Approved the second reading of ordinance No. 03-17 relating to liquor and beer sales on Sunday. The fi rst reading of the ordinance was approved at the June 12 meeting. Earlier this year, Gov. Mark Dayton signed a state law change allowing liquor stores to be open between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays effective July 1. This ordinance brings the city's code into concurrence with the new state law. During the special session, the law was changed so that cities can now be more restrictive on days of sale as well as hours of operation if they so choose; the council chose not to do so. • Approved the hiring of paid-on-call fi refighter Jacob Cree, who will serve at Fire Station No. 1. Cree has five years of firefighting experience with St. Anthony Village and works full time as a
dispatcher for ambulance service and EMT for the Hennepin County Medical Center. • Approved the purchase of playground equipment for NorthPointe Park in the amount of $75,000. This includes the playground components, engineered wood fiber surfacing, geotextile fabric, additional necessary resilient surfacing system such as wear mats for the swing/slide areas, a certified playground installer, audit, warranties, delivery and taxes. The city sent out requests for proposals to six vendors and received five proposals. Residents who live in the neighborhood were invited to share their opinions on the new playground on June 12 and 15 at Fire Station No. 2. The contract was awarded to Northland Recreation LLC. The funding for the project is from the dedicated parks fund. The majority of park construction will be complete in August and the anticipated installa-
tion is Sept. 16. • Held a public hearing for the fi rst reading of ordinance No. 05-17 vacating drainage and utility easements (Outlot D, NorthPointe 5th Addition). There was no public comment and the fi rst reading was approved. NorthPointe is a planned unit development residential subdivision located at the intersection of Birch Street and 20th Avenue/ County Road 54. It includes a total of 316 units, a mix of both single-family units and multifamily units. There will be 15 single-family homes constructed on 50-foot wide lots in the 6th Addition. The next City Council work session will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 5 in the Community Room at City Hall. The next regular meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 10 in Council Chambers.

they want on their table and pre-order on the website. When estimating how much food to order, the website advises, “Our experience is that there are about 15-18 crawfish to a pound and 10-12 shrimp to a pound. Experienced eaters will consume about 3 pounds of crawfish and a pound of shrimp over (a) couple hours.” In addition to the monthly boils, Bistro La Roux specializes in a variety of creative Southern fare, featuring Po' Boys (traditional New Orleansstyle hot sandwiches), oysters, shrimp and grits, and more. The bistro also has a kids’ menu and rotating specials, which include barbecued shrimp, boudin balls, housemade sausage and grilled oysters. Lori said they are always thinking of new ideas, potentially “smoking whole alligators, wine pairing meals, gourmet pairings and music events.” Chef Glover not only loves bringing New Orleans food to the area, but is also passionate about music. Every Friday and Saturday night, New Orleans jazz and blues groups perform from 7-10 p.m., with no cover charge. Tim occasionally jumps in and performs with the bands on his blues harps. The music plays in the courtyard, an indoor space decked out with lights and fountain, designed to mimic an outdoor space.
From military to food truck Before opening Bistro La Roux, Glover owned and operated Cajun 2 Geaux, a local food truck. His successful food truck operation motivated LORI GLOVER | SUBMITTED him to open his Creole restaurant in an area that A group of friends enjoys one of the monthly boils at Tim Glover’s Circle Pines restaurant, Bistro la Roux. keeps him close to home and less dependent on weather and seasonal work. Lori said, “We live in the community and it was important to us to stay close to home and make this special for the community. They have been very supportive of us ... we are welcomed.” Chef Glover has come a long way from his hometown. He’s a native of Louisiana, and lived in New Orleans for several years as well. But cooking wasn't Tim's fi rst career. He was in aviation for 25 years; following the 9/11 attacks, he enlisted in the National Guard. “Aviation took him on the road for about three years,” his wife explained, “and I fi nally told him he needed to pick a new career. I said, 'If you could do anything, what would it be?' He told me, 'I want to cook.' What a surprise that was.” Tim took courses through the culinary arts program at St. Paul College but was deployed to Iraq in 2009-10 with the Red Bull unit out of Stillwater. During his deployment, he told himself that when he got back home, he was going to do what he wanted to do — cook. He did just that. “He really wanted some creative power,” Lori said. “So he decided to start a food truck. He used his aviation skills as a sheet metal mechanic, gutted our family camper and turned it into ... Cajun 2 Geaux.” The brick-andmortar restaurant was a natural progression, she said. “Finding a spot close to home was a Godsend.” Advance registration and a deposit on the website (bistrolaroux.com) are required for the monthly boils because food is shipped directly from Louisiana. The signup closes on Monday at 9 p.m. prior to the Saturday night event. Bistro La Roux isn't slowing down anytime soon: the "build-your-own boils" will continue into August and September with blue crab and snow crab. “We want to create dining experiences that are unique and memorable,” Lori said. “People should LORI GLOVER | SUBMITTED follow us on social media to hear about all that A feast fit for New Orleans at Bistro la Roux.

In order to get their badges, the Boy Scouts experienced all things equine, such as how to groom a horse and prepare to ride. After that, the Scouts were able to ride the horses and be lead around the arena by the 4-H'ers. The night ended with a lesson on fencing and the essentials for a healthy horse diet. All in all, everyone came to the conclusion that the night was a huge success.

A Home Enhanced, located at 7095 Centerville Rd., offers a variety of gifts and home decor. BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Sometimes all it takes to add a splash of personality to a home are a few fi nal touches. A Home Enhanced, located at 7095 Centerville Road in Centerville, strives to help customers do just that. Its motto is “creativity is not a hobby but a lifestyle.” Owner Laurel McGinnity has over 20 years in the home design and decor business. She opened her Centerville shop almost four years ago to offer locals a place to buy well-priced, highquality jewelry, accessories, gifts and home decor.
Full circle McGinnity loves the face-to-face interaction a brick-and-mortar store facilitates. In the 1990s, she owned the popular retail store Willow Creek Corner in Shoreview and then in North Oaks. Next, she operated a
large home staging fi rm called A Home Enhanced. Now she's come full circle: “(Retail) is a combination of everything I love,” she said. “It isn't so much about the profit margin, it's more about the experience,” she added. Vadnais Heights resident Laurie Humble is a frequent customer. She said, “any gift you want to fi nd for anyone, you are going to fi nd it here, [from] the coolest jewelry to great sunglasses.” The store offers products for babies, kids and adults. “We have the coolest customers,” McGinnity noted. Being able to see, feel and experience the products and talking with the store staff is what brings customers back. “We get a kick out of sending people out happy,” McGinnity notes. “They are going to feel like they connected with a human being.” The personalized experience is something online shopping and big box stores

A special location McGinnity had her eye on this specific location for years. “I have loved this building since I was a little kid,” she explained. “It's actually my sister-in-law's building, and it has been in her family for four generations.” The historical brick building has been many things, including a dance hall, a hardware store and a meat market. McGinnity is grateful to now have the chance to put her own stamp on the structure.
Classes and more A Home Enhanced also has space in the back of the shop to offer a variety of classes, which is mutually beneficial for community members and the store. Classes enable local independent artists to make an income and help the store broaden its
customer network. During classes, people can learn home design techniques like painting and repurposing, accessorizing, floral designing and tablescaping for the holidays. The store has also offered nutritional weight and wellness classes, inspirational book writing and jewelry making. Store staff members hope to launch more classes this summer. For enhancing homes this spring, McGinnity advised, “add new accent pillows, bring in fresh greenery … a table runner to brighten and lighten.” She said the trend colors for this season are moving toward peach and teal. “We are also moving toward mauve … and you'll see hot pink, burgundy and a pop of purple or teal.” You can fi nd more information about A Home Enhanced on its Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/ giftsanddecorstore.

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Th Ci l Pines Pi City Cit Council C il took t k the th following action at its June 27 meeting: • Mayor Dave Bartholomay and City Administrator Patrick Antonen relayed the Utilities Commission is offering an incentive for residents to switch to electronic statements rather than paper copies by mail. “We are offering a $5 one time credit on accounts if they switch to electronic statements. We've noticed it saves us a lot of staff time and money,” Barhtolomay said. Antonen relayed in the past couple of weeks, they have already had around 80 new sign ups for electronic statements. The Utilities Commission also approved up to $17,000 in repairs for the vac truck, which is used to clean out sewers and for excavation when trying to find gas lines. “We want to get at least three more years out of it. Right now we need the vacuum fixed. We just don't have the funds in place to buy a brand new one,” Antonen expalined. “Selling a vac truck that doesn't vac is virtually worthless, so at least once we do this repair it will be worth something once we go to sell it because it is in really good shape.”
