As Emma Pierson, Molly Nhean and Alex Lombard spoke of their experiences as Lino Lakes ambassadors throughout the last year, two themes emerged time and time again: growth and confidence. The young women appeared before the Lino Lakes City Council at its July 22 meeting for a final presentation, as their reign concludes in the middle of August. They shared their accomplishments and favorite memories and thanked the council, business sponsors and the ambassador program’s voluntary leadership team for their support. They also reflected on how the experience impacted them. “A little over a year ago, if you would have met me, you would have met a shy, nervous, and unconfident girl,” said Pierson. “But now look at me. I waited 18 years to gain selfconfidence, and I finally have, thanks to the Lino Lakes ambassador program.” As community representatives and advocates, the young women knew how SEE LINO LAKES AMBASSADORS , PAGE 10
Centennial grad turns into quite the world traveler BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Most students are lucky if they get to study abroad once during their college years, but Centennial grad Emilie Tomas has done that three times and counting. Tomas, a former Blaine resident, graduated from Centennial in 2015 and recently graduated from Augsburg University with a degree in psychology and concentrations in social and clinical psychology. Her love of traveling comes from the fact that her grandmother was born in France, and her father spent one of his summers there. “I have family that travels a lot and I was really jealous seeing the pictures all the time,” she said. In high school, Tomas finally got the chance to start traveling and went to Haiti with her father in 2012 and 2014. High school is also where
she found her love of psychology through an Advanced Placement (AP) course. “I really liked it. I found it very interesting,” she said. In May of 2017, Tomas spent two weeks in Slovenia learning about the differences and similarities between psychology and education in Slovenia and the U.S. It was on that trip that she got to visit Croatia and Venice, Italy. In the spring of 2018, Tomas studied abroad in Greece. “It was a great experience, but it wasn't super challenging. I was staying with Americans and didn't get to learn much Greek,” she said. At the end of the trip, she spent six weeks traveling around France with her grandmother and sister. “That got me out of my comfort zone a little bit more,” she recalled. This March, Tomas was invited to SEE CENTENNIAL GRAD, PAGE 12

Just for ids: Keeping kids little for just a little bit longer BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Tami Enz grew up spending her summers at her grandmother’s store in McGregor, Minnesota, tagging products, doing inventory and running the cash register. In January, she launched her own children's clothing company, Just For Littles. “It all started with a passion for childhood. My daughter tried on a twirly dress years ago, and the sparkle in her eye and the giggles from her friends melted my heart. My oldest grew up right before my eyes, so it sparked some

perfect thing that my customers were looking for — so I decided to make it myself.” Enz, a Hugo resident, grew up in White Bear Lake and graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 2003. She has always had a passion for childhood things, so it is no surprise that she majored in child psychology at St. Cloud State University. After college she became a stay-athome mom to her four children: Aubrey, 11, Axel, 9, Aizer, 6, and Zada, 4. Enz was looking for an occupation she could pursue while at home with her children. She started her own online store, which carried other people's brands.
“When I do something, I don't just do it little, I want to do it big,” Enz explained. She decided to launch her own company so she could design products just the way she wanted them. Just For Littles specializes in twirl dresses for girls ages 12-24 months all the way through 12 years. Enz designs all of the clothes herself; they are then manufactured in China. “We use special fabric. It is 100% cotton, but we go through a couple of different processes so it is super soft and very stretchy so girls feel really comfortable and confident,” she said. When a shipment returns from China, Enz recruits people to help her do quality control. “I will not
send out products that aren't perfect. I'm a perfectionist,” she said. Just For Littles also makes tunics, tank tops and leggings. In addition to selling the clothes online and at various events such as Marketfest in White Bear Lake, Enz's products are also sold in stores throughout the U.S. including Los Angeles and New York. Jes Bissett, a resident of Becker, Minnesota, runs the company’s wholesale operations. In the end, it is seeing the girls' smiles and confidence that inspires Enz to keep designing clothes. “I love watching confidence come out of the girls when they put the dresses on. It fi res me up,” she said. “It is

“It’s important for the next generation to understand how code works, since it will play such a large role in their world.”
CIRCLE PINES—Summer weeks are fi lled with avenues for parents to give their kids new experiences to keep them learning while school is out. Sports, church, arts and music are a few. Thanks to Code Championship, parents can now add computer coding to that list of activities. Luke Schlangen The Code Championship program is Founder of Code Championship traveling throughout the Twin Cities metro this summer, not to persuade kids to become software developers, but simply to show them that coding is fun and learning something new can be rewarding. Centennial High School hosted the camp July 15-18, bringing in 13 students to learn the ins and outs of computer coding and be a part of an energetic learning environment. Founder Luke Schlangen started Code Championship in 2014 and sees value in the work. “Over the past five years, we've found that learning follows excitement,” he said. “Our biggest goal is to leave young coders excited about code. If a student is excited, they can learn anything.” With a technology boom in full swing for the younger generation, Code Championship sees an opportunity to introduce a helpful tool at an early age, a tool that could be useful for more than just people in tech careers down the road. “It's important for the next generation to understand how code works, since it will play such a large role in their world,” Schlangen said. Schlangen also emphasizes that coding can be recognized as a sport. SUBMITTED The curriculum implements games Two students at coding bootcamp use and competitions for an energetic competitive games to learn the basics of atmosphere with a keyboard and coding. mouse. The Code Championship camps continue throughout August, reaching all corners of the metro area. Partnering with the High Tech Kids program, Code Championship will host a state championship day Aug. 17.

Spinoff from NASA
W
E JUST CELEBRATED the 50th anniversary of the Apollo landing on the moon, an amazing, remarkable achievement and a downright difficult-to-understand feat. From this achievement, NASA developed a huge array of technology and products that are benefiting consumers. Through the process, over a thousand U.S. patents were granted to people working on the project. The source for the information in this column came in part from the NASA Technology Transfer Program. The list of inventions goes on and on, but let me share a few that I’ve come to appreciate About the and that might make your Top 10 list. I think we are all Town familiar with memory foam. Gene Johnson One of the engineers, Charles Yost, worked on the modules to be sure the astronauts could be recovered safely after landing. Researchers discovered “slow spring back foam” and later Yost developed the “temper foam.” Of course, since then memory foam is used in many applications, from the Dallas Cowboy’s helmets to high comfort insoles in shoes. Another invention was the anti-corrosion coating to deal with the extreme cold in space and the heat from the rocket exhaust system. As a saltwater boater, we have experienced the destructive forces from ocean spray and fog and its corrosive element. One of the celebrated applications of this coating came in the 1980s when it was applied to the Statue of Liberty to curb further deterioration. ArterioVision pairs ultra-sound equipment with NASA’s software genius to be able to detect early signs of arteriosclerosis, which threatens heart attacks and strokes. Now, with this ArterioVision, signs of cardiovascular illness can be detected in early stages. Cochlear implants – in the late 70s, Adam Kissiah, Jr., a hearing-impaired engineer, came up with a concept for a new type of hearing aid, an implant that produced digital pulses to stimulate the auditory nerve endings that would then transmit the signals to the brain. Another benefit we have today is scratchresistant eyeglass lenses. This provided the shift from glass lenses, which were heavy and dangerous, to a durable plastic. Ted Wydeven, while working another project, came up with a coating that was surprisingly tough. This abrasion-resistant lens was used for space helmet visors and in 1983 Foster Grant used the technology in sunglasses. Another development was the insulin pump, which researchers, working on the Mars Viking spacecraft and anticipating traveling farther into space, designed for monitoring the astronauts’ health. Through the space program we have water fi lters that have been developed to provide clean water that is safe to drink. Further spinoffs from NASA’s technology have given us LEDs, infrared ear thermometers, improved radial tires, fi refighting gear, cordless vacuums, powdered lubricants, and LASIK eye surgery. Space projects have helped us in our everyday lives. The program was curtailed under President Richard Nixon. Research is valuable to us every day. Programs like this enhance it. It brings industry and universities together toward worthy goals and achievements. Let’s push forward. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications

Give me a home where the butterflies roam
O
n May 11, 1858, the United States of America welcomed its 32nd state to the union – 18 million acres of prairie, 21 million acres of wetlands, 31.5 million acres of forests and 11,842 lakes, now lovingly known as Minnesota. Over the years, Minnesota has grown and prospered. Settlers drained wetlands to make way for cities and farms, and loggers felled towering pines, which they floated down the rivers to become houses, boats and stables. During the 1970s, a wave of environmentalism swept through the U.S. and, in years since Movers & the then, we’ve mostly towed the line, Shakers maintaining roughly 50% of the Angie Hong original wetland and forest acreage in our state to support a vibrant culture and economy of tourism, hunting and outdoor recreation. What, though, became of the prairie? Today, a mere 250,000 acres of native prairie remains in the state of Minnesota. It is a little more than 1% of the total that once covered the land. As the prairie has vanished, so too we have seen the decline of native bees, butterflies, grassland birds and, in many places, clean water. But, there is still a spark of hope. Over the past 15 years, a new wave of environmentalism has swept the state – much of it focused on individual action and locally led
change. People have come to realize that their backyards, whether large or small, can be part of the solution. The Pledge to Plant led by West Metro Water Alliance, Metro Blooms, Wild Ones, Blue Thumb and Monarch Joint Venture, calls on Minnesotans to plant 10,000 native gardens for pollinators and clean water by the year 2020. Pollinator Friendly Alliance, a citizen-led organization th at got its start in Washington County, has also worked with cities and counties in recent years to pass resolutions to increase habitat and eliminate the use of systemic insecticides. To date there are 39 “PollinatorFriendly” communities in Minnesota, including the local communities of Lake Elmo, Mahtomedi, Stillwater, Stillwater Township and White Bear Lake; as well as Chisago County Washington County and the Ramsey County Parks Department. In addition, Pollinator Friendly Alliance is working with Washington Conservation District, Washington County Parks and local communities to restore pocket prairies for pollinator habitat. One example is the Pollinators Landing at Mulberry Creek in Stillwater (corner of Owens Street N. and Laurel Sreet. W.), where the Alliance worked with the city and community partners to create a bee-lawn, seeded with self heal, white dutch clover, creeping fescues and hard fescues, as well as a native flower garden containing wild bergamot, rough blazingstar, yellow headed coneflower, Joe-Pye weed, compass plant, oxe-eye, New England aster, fragrant hyssop, heartleaf Golden Alexander,
meadow rue, butterfly weed and creeping sedum. Another nearby project to visit is the “Butterfly Sanctuary” at Pine Point Regional Park, which contains 14 acres of prairie planted with 2000 butterfly host and nectar plants. The butterfly-friendly planting was a partnership between Pollinator Friendly Alliance, Washington County Parks, Washington Conservation District, Monarch Joint Venture and Wild Ones. Next month, Pollinator Friendly Alliance will hold its annual POLLI*NATION FESTIVAL on Sunday, Aug. 25, from noon-6 p.m. at Kieran’s Kitchen in Minneapolis (1404 Marshall Street), with proceeds dedicated to building a new sanctuary for the Rusty-Patched Bumblebee, a federally-listed endangered species.

Exciting moment of the Centennial VFW season
PENNY LIESER | SUBMITTED
The most exciting moment of the Centennial VFW season was captured in this photo by one of the parents, Penny Lieser. The players are celebrating as Jack Montague, second from left, heads home with the winning run, off a double by Jake Slipka, to cap a five-run rally in the last of the seventh to beat Champlin Park 8-7 on July 21 in the District 7 tournament in Osseo. Centennial lost the next game to Forest Lake 10-0 and finished third among 25 teams. Their final record was 17-11.
Centennial shortstop moving on to SEC baseball with Missouri BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Dalton McNamara is the rare athlete who committed to a Division I program before he even made the varsity lineup in high school. The 2019 Centennial graduate — recruited by University of Missouri after playing in a Prep Baseball Report tournament in Indiana in 2017 — officially joined the Tigers by spending the last four weeks on the campus. “The coaches can’t coach us yet, but we were working out, taking classes,
getting introduced to the program,” said McNamara, reached Friday while the 5-11, 170-pound shortstop was heading home from Columbia, Missouri. McNamara helped the Centennial VFW team win the state championship in 2016 after his freshman year of high school. As a sophomore, he was still playing on the Cougar junior varsity. “I thought I could have been on varsity, but our coach felt we had better middle infielders,” McNamara said. That summer, he attended PBR tryouts in Minnesota, and was picked
Lino Lakes Legion goes 2-2 in playoffs Lino Lakes Legion baseball won two of four games in the sub-state tournament last week and finished the season with an 18-8 record. Lino Lakes beat Chisago Lakes 10-0 in five innings with T. J. Harmon throwing the shutout. They lost to Stillwater 4-3 as Gavin Zurn of the Ponies blanked them for six innings.

for a team of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin prospects to display their skills at the Indiana tournament. “There were about 250 college and pro scouts watching,” he said. Among them was a recruiter for Missouri who was impressed by McNamara and let him know the Tigers had a spot for him. McNamara verbally committed that fall and signed his national letter of intent last November. As a Cougar varsity rookie his junior year for coach Rollie Goertzen, McNamara had a spectacular season, batting .578 at 37-for-64 with a homer, two triples, six doubles, 24 runs and 16 runs-batted-in. Then he slipped to .316 his senior year with the Cougars. “My first year, nobody knew who I was, and I was getting good pitches to hit,” said McNamara, who bats left and throws right. “This year, I wasn’t getting good pitches and started trying to do too much. But I made some adjustments and picked it up at the end of the year.” McNamara played for the Minnesota Blizzard, a club team, for five years. He suited up for both Blizzard and VFW during the championship season, but did not play VFW or Legion ball after that. About playing for the club team instead, he said, “You play about the same number of games, but you get a
lot more exposure to colleges.” At Missouri, McNamara thinks he’s joining a college team on the upswing. The Tigers were 3422-1 this season, including 13-16-1 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI | SUBMITTED in the daunting Dalton McNamara Southeastern Conference (SEC), in their second year under Steve Bieser, who was hired after winning three Ohio Valley Conference titles with Southeast Missouri State. “Bieser turned the program around at Southeast Missouri, and at Missouri, he’s got all the right tools and a lot more resources,” said McNamara, who plans to major in sports management. “I think we’re going to be pretty good.” McNamara is especially pleased to have a chance to play in the SEC, which produced four of the eight entrants in this year’s College World Series. “The SEC is the best conference in the country,” he said. “If you can make it there your chances of going pro are a lot better.”

Area dancer recovering from medical emergency BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
A 16-year-old Hugo dancer was running up the stairs for a quick costume change at a recital in June when she collapsed to the floor and went into cardiac arrest. After a two-week stay in the hospital and two major surgeries two days apart, Kaylyn Rosewell’s recovery is worthy of the term “miracle” used by the nurses and doctors who tended to her at Children's Hospital of Minneapolis. All Kaylyn remembers about June 2 is the fi rst recital at the University of Northwestern and a picnic in between shows, despite making it more than halfway through the second show. Kaylyn, the daughter of Todd and Rebecca Rosewell of Hugo, will be a senior at White Bear Lake High School this fall. She was fi rst exposed to dance after her mother put her in a class when she was 3. “I absolutely hated it,” Kaylyn said. While in second grade, Kaylyn had a change of heart and convinced her mom to let her try dancing again, which she stuck to this time. She has danced at Larkin Dance Studio in Maplewood since she was 8 years old. Rebecca was helping out in the dressing room when she noticed her daughter wasn't quite acting like herself. “We have a TV monitor so we can keep track of the show and know where we are at. I was watching and wondering why she was being so lazy — something was wrong. She looked super tired and she just wasn't being herself,” Rebecca explained. Kaylyn then had trouble making it upstairs for a quick costume change. Initially, Rebecca thought she was overheated, or perhaps her daughter’s asthma was acting up. “She started wobbling, and her eyes started rolling back in her head. That's when I knew someone needed to get a nurse,” Rebecca said. Kaylyn went into cardiac arrest. Fortunately, a doctor, a nurse and an EMT all happened to be sitting in the audience and responded immediately to begin chest compressions. AED shocks were also administered. The 911 dispatcher warned that the closest ambulance was 20 minutes away and the next closest was 40 minutes away. Roseville Fire Chief

Kaylyn Rosewell recovers after two major surgeries. She was at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis for two weeks.
Tim O’Neill confi rmed later that police and fi re personnel from multiple agencies arrived on the scene in about four minutes. The ambulance took more than 20 minutes to arrive, longer than normal. He said that under state law, the responding agencies were not allowed to transport patients. Kaylyn was taken to the pediatric cardiovascular intensive care unit at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. Doctors discovered Kaylyn had a patent foramen ovale (PFO), or a hole in the heart, that didn't close the way it should have after birth. Doctors also discovered Kaylyn has an anomalous left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus — simply put, a heart defect. “Basically, an artery was displaced. They normally find this in elite athletes once they are 16,17, 18,” Rebecca explained. “Her artery was between two ventricles, and because her heart was under so much stress from the day, it had shut off that artery. That's why her heart stopped (twice).” Both of those conditions were corrected following a four-hour open chest surgery. Kaylyn is still awaiting the results to see if she
has arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a heartbeat rhythm issue. As a safety precaution, two days after the open chest surgery Kaylyn underwent a second surgery to put in an implantable cardiovasculardefibrillator (ICD) to protect her if she does have ARVC or goes into cardiac arrest again. It has been a stressful spring for the Rosewell family. Kaylyn's father suffered a major stroke at the age of 45 six weeks before Kaylyn's scare. Rebecca had to take care of her husband and daughter simultaneously but is thankful she had help from family and friends. “We have kind of been through the ringer as far as crazy health emergencies that were super close together, things that normally cause death or permanent damage, and they both came out with relatively nothing, for the most part,” Rebecca said. Kaylyn is still recovering from the surgical procedures and attends physical therapy once a week. Even though she can't go back to dancing just yet, she was able to travel with her studio to nationals in Las Vegas June 28July 6. While there, she also found out what an

LINO LAKES AMBASSADORS: ‘Much more than being a princess’ FROM PAGE 1
large an impact they had both in Lino Lakes and across Minnesota. But as they shared their experiences in greater depth after the meeting, they emphasized how being ambassadors had changed them.
More than princesses Since she was younger, Pierson had wanted to sit on floats during parades just like the “princesses” she saw. “I soon learned that the (ambassador) program was much more than being a princess,” she said, recalling how the program involves many volunteering and public speaking opportunities. According to the program’s Facebook page, the program’s mission is “empowering young women to become confident leaders through mentorship, volunteerism and educational scholarships.” The program aims to fulfill this mission through opportunities to improve professional skills, volunteer at civic events and through nonprofit organizations and represent Lino Lakes at city events and beyond. After completing the program, each ambassador can earn a maximum of $1,000 in postsecondary education scholarships. Amid this broad mission, when Pierson became a candidate, she focused on improving herself, as she recalled that she was “super shy” growing up. “(Being an ambassador) definitely helped make me come out of my shell and be a better speaker …. I definitely grew a lot.” Nhean said that one focus of the ambassador program is “growing for yourself” and that the growth experience is one reason why young women initially join the program. Nhean also said that she was inspired by the program’s emphasis on volunteering, as she is an active volunteer herself, especially at Alexandra House, a shelter in Blaine for those who have endured sexual and domestic violence. Lombard also enjoys volunteering (especially as an EMT) and said that volunteering was her main reason for joining the program. “I love the idea of volunteering and being so heavily engrossed and involved in other people’s growth.” Meanwhile, Nhean and Lombard also gave credit to the ambassador program for helping enhance their confidence. “I definitely grew in confidence …. and presenting myself how I want and how I truly feel I am,” Nhean said. Even as a candidate during the program’s eight-week candidacy period, which can be likened to auditions for the position, she felt that she had grown immensely in her communication and networking skills. During the city council presentation, Lombard spoke to how so much growth can take place in just one year. She gave credit to the support of the city council, business sponsors, the program’s voluntary leadership team and this coming year’s candidates. The combined

support from these groups, she said, “truly makes a lasting impact and instills the leadership and legacy of empowerment in women in our society.” Continuing the mission Though their reign is ending, Pearson, Nhean and Lombard plan to continue working towards the ambassador program's mission. They are currently applying to represent Lino Lakes at the Minneapolis Aquatennial candidacy program, which will take place during Aquatennial Week in 2020. Only one of the women will be selected for the candidacy program, and thereby spend the coming year preparing for the event, which invites former ambassadors throughout Minnesota to participate in the selection process to become Aquatennial ambassadors. Aquatennial ambassadors spend a year representing the Minneapolis festival nationwide. The three also have alternative plans if they are not selected for the candidacy program. They all wish to continue their volunteer work and otherwise serve communities. Nhean will continue work with organizations such as Alexandra House. Pierson wants to open a medical clinic in Haiti through Doctors Without Borders, and Lombard hopes to join the Air Force. Meanwhile, Nhean and Pierson will begin their postsecondary education at Mankato State and Bethel respectively. Lombard will continue studying general education at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. But, before their reign ends, the women will hand off their tiaras to next year’s ambassadors at the ambassador coronation. The event will take place 3 p.m. Sunday, August 18, at Centennial Middle School. Meanwhile, the candidates applying to be next year’s

ambassadors are undergoing an eight-week candidacy program of their own. Nhean said that even if candidates are not selected to be ambassadors, they should still be “open-minded” and appreciate the experiences they gain, as the candidacy program is a shortened version of the ambassador year and gives candidates an idea of what the ambassador experience is like. Lombard gave the following advice to prospective candidates: “Embrace every moment …. Time truly does fly, and you have to remind yourself to be grateful for any opportunities that you have had.”

Now, on July 28, Tomas will head to Indonesia for 10 months as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant. She will be based at a high school called SMA Unggul Del in Toba Samosir right off of Lake Toba, a beautiful lake created by a supervolcano. “I still see myself as really excited to learn and learn from travel. I'm excited to have a really deep cultural exchange,” Tomas said. “At the end of the day, I think that I am going to learn a lot more out of this experience and that my community is going to have a lot more to teach me than maybe I will them. Teaching English is sort of what I have to offer in return in order to get that.” Tomas said she is also eager to learn more about the Indonesian people and develop relationships with them. After returning from Indonesia, Tomas is interested in graduate studies in social psychology and intergroup relations. “I will take time to consider my options and see what a future in applied psychology might look like as well,” she explained.

Ambassadors reflect on year of service before city council BY JANICE COLLOVA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LINO LAKES – The City Council welcomed the city’s three ambassadors— Emma Pierson, Molly Nhean and Alexis Lombard—at its July 22 meeting for a final presentation. With their year of service ending, the young women took the opportunity to thank the council, their business sponsors and ambassador program leadership team for support, highlight their accomplishments, reflect on favorite memories and share their personal and professional growth. The women reflected on how through every local and statewide event they attended, they aimed to represent the city of Lino Lakes and the ambassador program’s mission, as quoted by Lombard and Nhean: “To empower young women to become confident leaders through mentorship, volunteerism and educational scholarships.� The women thanked the council, their sponsors and their leadership team for implementing this mission with them, and reflected on how fulfilling this mission impacted them. Lombard recalled that on her first day as ambassador, she visited the state fair and already understood the importance of her position as she interacted with people – a takeaway she would keep for the rest of her term.

Current Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors Emma Pierson, Molly Nhean and Alex Lombard visited the City Council July 22 to recap all they have done during their time as ambassadors.
“That idea of impact and how easily ambassadors can make an impact was a long-lasting impact to myself during my year of reign,� she said. The women also presented the first-place trophy they received for best royalty float at the Spring Lake Park Tower Days parade, and introduced the candidates to be next year’s ambassadors. They concluded their presentation with an invitation to the ambassador coronation at Centennial Middle School 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18. The event will crown next year’s ambassadors. Mayor Reinert applauded the women for their presentation. “Every year I’m just taken aback about the advancement that you have in your speaking ability and presentation,� he said.

In other action, the City Council: • Approved a resolution to reject bids for the Well House No. 1 rehabilitation project. Due to the low number of bidders and the cost of the project exceeding the initial budget, the window for bidding will be postponed to either December 2019 or January 2020. The council agreed that postponing bidding will allow reconsideration of the budget and thus save money for the city. • Approved to order the project for the construction of a third water tower, as well as approved the plans and specifications and authorize advertisements for bids. The need for a third water tower was recognized back in 2017 after the city completed a water system evaluation. The
project will cost a rough estimate of $4.5 million, which will be funded by the city’s water utility fund. According to the proposed schedule, the project will be open to bids starting Aug. 20, with bids being brought back to the council on Aug. 26, and construction could start as early as September. The proposed site is the city-owned parcel of land adjacent to the new fire station. The project completion date will possibly be extended to allow for more competitive bidding. Recognized Night to Unite on Aug. 6, from 5 to 9 p.m. A list of parties will not be posted on the city website, so Reinert encouraged residents to connect with their neighbors. The next city council meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 12.

What’s the big deal? Interruptions in my favorite TV shows. It was the northern and northeast suburbs turn to receive the weather attention this past week. On Friday, July 26 an isolated severe storm tore from Blaine to White Bear, dropping up to golf ball size hail along with high winds. After a peaceful Saturday, where I completed my second Voyageur 50-mile run in Duluth (thank you), Sunday brought us another round of severe weather concentrated over Anoka and Washington counties with the cities of Forest Lake and Scandia reporting tornados and damage. We’re looking forward to a more restful week ahead.

Local girl’s letter initiates action to sustain environment BY JANICE COLLOVA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
CIRCLE PINES – A local 10-year-old girl’s letter was the final push for the city to join the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program. The letter was written by 10-year-old Numa Zahra, who attended Golden Lake Elementary this past school year. The handwritten letter was brief: “My name is Numa and I am about to turn 10 next month. I am worried about the climate change. It would be wonderful if the city could declare a climate change policy. Please think about it.” Before the letter arrived at City Hall, City Administrator Patrick Antonen and Councilmembers Dean Goldberg and Matt Percy attended the annual League of Minnesota Cities conference in Duluth, where they learned about the GreenStep program. The program does not address climate change per se, but aims to help cities achieve environment sustainability and reduce energy use. After the conference, the council began discussion about possibly joining the program. Then Numa’s letter arrived. The conference was June 26-28; Numa’s letter was dated June 28. The timing compelled the council to take action. After many meetings about the process of joining and following the program, the council invited Numa and her parents to its July 23 meeting, where the council unanimously passed a resolution to join the GreenStep program. Numa was also given a copy of the resolution. “You can feel really good and proud because you did something,” Mayor Dave Bartholomay told Numa. “You wrote a letter, you expressed your concern, and now things are happening.” “(Your parents are) obviously extremely proud

of you, and they should be,” added Percy. “It takes a lot of courage to reach out to the council to come here and present to us like this.” In the GreenStep program, cities can choose to implement up to 29 “best practices,” or goals that encourage cost-efficiency and energy use reduction in five categories: buildings and lighting, land use, transportation, environmental management and economic and community development. Participating in the program is voluntary; not every practice has to be fulfilled, nor does every action within a practice have to be fulfilled. Cities receive recognition within the program just for meeting minimum program requirements. According to Antonen, Circle Pines is an “environmentally conscious city already”; the city has already met many of GreenStep’s best practices because of previous city policies. Some examples include replacing the streetlights with LED bulbs, stormwater management and parks

and trails management. Though the city partakes in sustainable purchasing practices, this is not backed by an actual written policy. By passing a resolution to join the GreenStep program, the city can create an official policy for sustainable purchasing and other environmentally sustainable resolutions to keep the city accountable. Antonen noted that some cities “have trouble with this (program). There (are) some folks that think there’s a conspiracy theory behind joining this group, which is completely
voluntary.” In response, Percy said the program “is not some environmental conspiracy. When you get right down to it, it’s all about efficiency, which means cost-savings. We’re saving money, and who doesn’t want saved money?”
In other action, the City Council: • Announced a policy change that allows Utilities to enter into a “gas prepay” arrangement. The arrangement allows Utilities to group with Utilities from other cities as a single purchaser in order to

receive discounts on gas. This policy will be in effect for the next five years and is renewable every five years. The city had considered entering such an arrangement about a decade earlier, but decided that the gas market was not stable enough then. • Reviewed a report from the Police Governing Board that included an approved change to the police department’s IT system. The IT system will be transferred from an independent server to Metro INET, a system also used by Lexington, Centerville and the Centennial Fire District. The current IT system is manned by a local sergeant; with the transfer, the system will be run by full-time IT professionals so that
the police are more readily available to respond to emergencies. The transfer will also allow the police to more effectively respond to the increase in calls. The transfer is planned to take effect Jan 1. • Acknowledged Night to Unite on Aug. 6. The number of parties are unknown at this point but a list will later be posted on the city’s website. The council discussed visiting parties as a group throughout the night, as they did last year. • Announced the city’s decision to end its 35W construction coalition. The coalition will be disbanded due to having successfully garnered the needed funds from both Congress and the state for construction and seeing that construction is well under way. The leftover money will be returned to those involved based on their share of how much effort they put into the coalition. Paperwork will arrive soon for the council to sign to make the coalition’s dissolvement official. • Councilmember Matt Percy updated the council on efforts to promote an open house for the 2020 Street and Utility Improvement Project. The open house will be 7 to 8 p.m. Aug. 1 at City Hall. The council discussed possibly recording the event and also serving cookies and punch. • Mayor Bartholomay advertised the Anoka County Historical Society’s need for more volunteers. Anyone who loves local history is welcome to join, and can fill out a volunteer application on the Society’s website: anokacountyhistory.org.

Above: Hundreds of area residents attended the community event that along with the fresh roasted sweet corn also featured bounce houses, carnival games and music by the band “Shirts and Skins,” at right. The band was fronted by a rotating set of female lead singers, backed by musicians on drums, bass, guitar, electric fiddle and keyboard. Judging by the lines and demand for the sweet corn, organizers estimated that a record crowd attended the event, sponsored by the Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department. The corn was picked on Thursday morning at a farm in Waverly, Minnesota.
Ashley Nelson, Taylor Drahota and Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Supervisor Brian Hronski shuck ears of corn before they are placed in the roaster.
