Circle Pines approves ordinance on targeted residential picketing BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — The city of Circle Pines has joined the growing list of cities to put an ordinance banning targeted residential picketing on its books. In the words of Council Member Matt Percy, he and the other council members have had to do some serious “soul-searching” since the topic was first brought up in May. “I don’t think I have spent more time on a particular issue over the last two to three weeks than I have for this one. There has been a lot of soul-searching going on with this one,” Percy said. Council Member Dean Goldberg said, “I have been on this council about three and a half years, and this was the most difficult topic to discuss that I’ve had. I was really proud of the fact that while people’s opinions differed, everyone listened to one another, everyone weighed what people were saying, and I think we arrived at a good place because of that dialogue.” After the topic was initially brought up at a meeting in May, the council tabled the item to seek more clarity and answers to questions. The topic was discussed again at length during a work session in June with Centennial Lakes Police Department Chief Jim Mork in attendance. The council wanted to make sure that the issue wasn’t already covered by existing city ordinances. The ordinance reads in part, “Targeted residential picketing in front of or about a

‘Don’t ignore the warning signs’ BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

The main message a local family hopes to get across by sharing their son’s health scare is to never ignore the warning signs. 2017 Centennial High School graduate D.J. Love, son of Susan and D. Love (mayor of Centerville), is currently in the ICU at M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center and has a long road of recovery ahead of him.

D.J. is a senior at North Dakota State University and works as a HR process team leader for Target. In early July, D.J. was not feeling well. Susan explained that he was feeling run down, congested and sick to his stomach, and was having a hard time keeping anything down. “He called us and told us how miserable he was. We encouraged him to go to urgent care or the ER, and that he needed to be seen,” she said.

On July 10, D.J. went into urgent care, where they performed a blood panel and chest X-ray to see if he had pneumonia. They noticed his heart was enlarged. Following an ultrasound a few days later, D.J. was immediately sent to the ER. He was having severe chest pains. Upon doing an angiogram, the doctors found a large blood clot. While doctors were trying to remove the blood clot, D.J. went SEE LOVE, PAGE 7

3-year plan results in growth for Chomonix Golf Course

NAMES IN THE NEWS

The Anoka County Board of Commissioners has announced that the three-year evaluation of Chomonix Golf Course has ended and that operations will continue into the future. The new Chomonix leadership vision that was set in place in 2019, along with business operations changes, have grown memberships, programs and green fees. The new operations model has generated revenues that are designed to offset operating expenses. The course has seen progress in several areas, including: The Players Club program, golf cart rentals, driving range usage, food and beverage sales, and season pass sales. “Current golf leagues, members and players are now assured that Chomonix Golf Course is positively moving forward into the future,” said District 5 Anoka County Commissioner Mike Gamache, chair of the county’s Parks Committee. “Public and player support has been greatly valued and appreciated throughout the evaluation period, and Anoka County will continue its commitment to excellence in best serving the golf community at Chomonix Golf Course.” District 6 Anoka County Commissioner Jeff Reinert noted that the improvements at the course have made a noticeable impact over the past three years. “Conducting a review of Chomonix’s financial situation over the past three years was part of the county’s mission to be fiscally responsible,” Reinert said. “Areas of need were identified, changes were made, and those changes have resulted in sustainable operations at the golf course.” Submitted

PICKETING ORDINANCE: Leads council to do some ‘soul-searching’ FROM PAGE 1

residential dwelling causes emotional distress to the dwelling occupants, obstructs and interferes with the free use of public rights-of-way and has as its object the harassment of the dwelling occupants.” In addition, “The protection and preservation of the home is the keystone of democratic government; the public health and welfare and the good order of the community require that members of the community enjoy, in their homes and dwellings, a feeling of well-being, tranquility and privacy and, when absent from their homes and dwellings, carry with them the sense of security inherent in the assurance that they may return to the enjoyment of their homes and dwellings.” The city of Hugo was one of the first communities in the north metro area to adopt the ordinance back in September 2020. The move was in response to the Black Lives Matter protest that took place last August outside the home of Minneapolis Police Federation President Bob Kroll. Other communities have followed suit, including Blaine,

Lino Lakes, Shoreview, Centerville and Lexington. Goldberg said that over the past few weeks he has been approached by seven or eight people saying the council needs to adopt the ordinance. “I have never been stopped so many times in the street and had people tell me, ‘You need to do this,’” he said. “If (even) one or two people know about a topic on the City Council, it is kind of shocking.” Mayor Dave Bartholomay explained that initially he thought the ordinance might be unnecessary, but he has changed his mind. “As you watch the continuing unrest in the communities, you start to realize this is a challenge for us,” he said. “We have some residents who work for other departments that have contacted me; they are concerned because they feel their home here in Circle Pines could get picketed … It isn’t only our officers here, it’s our own elected officials, officers from other communities, someone who works for a company that all of a sudden people don’t like.” Chief Mork explained that the ordinance would be a great tool for officers, should the scenario arise. “It

is a tricky incident, because there are some statutes and ordinances that exist that maybe you could stretch to apply to a situation, but what we are looking for is a tool that serves the community well,” he said. “If something did develop, we can talk to the organizer and explain the details on why this shouldn’t be occurring, why it is illegal and the steps that can come from that, as opposed to taking a different law that doesn’t speak to that language.” The council ultimately approved the ordinance, waived the second reading and ordered the short-form publication of the ordinance. Percy was the only council member who voted against the ordinance. “The protests in neighborhoods in Hugo and other communities really brought out an ugly side in people. It showed a lot of people at their worst, and people who took their First Amendment rights a little too far in ways that were pretty damaging to their cause,” Percy said. Percy explained that he feels this ordinance is too restrictive. “If a person wants to voice their opinion to a public official at their home on a residential

street, like my house, that’s a public space, and I think that they should be allowed to do that,” he said. “If folks are quiet and respectful, they should be able to exercise their First Amendment rights.” Council Member Steve McChesney said at one point he was leaning in that direction too, but after receiving some clarity, he felt the ordinance was a good idea. “This ordinance will not restrict residential picketing; you could still march past my street protesting, but what this does is you are not able to stop and picket my specific home. That was my compromise point,” he said. “I didn’t think we should just blanket ban the ability to picket in a residential area, it felt a bit too restrictive, but I think focusing on a home is a bit too much and that’s why I am in favor.” Per the ordinance, targeted residential picketing is considered a misdemeanor offense.

States of mind

hose of us who live within a few miles of the border are well aware of the interstate rivalry between Minnesota and Wisconsin. I personally think that we have more in common with each other than differences, but have to admit that I’m not thrilled (and have to suppress some territorial impulses) when I see the overt display of Green Bay Packer colors during football season. This mostly friendly, but occasionally heated, rivalry is explored in detail by a couple of former Press Publications employees via an online audio podcast titled “Minnesconsin/Wiscosota.” The curiosity and extensive experience of journalists Mark Nicklawske and Keith Uhlig is evident as they playfully debate and explore a variety of topics including, but not limited to, cheese (of course), bratwurst, the best regional candy, road trips, both urban and rural bicycling, the magic (and Angle of danger) of thunderstorms and state parks. Mark was a regional editor View during his time at the Press and currently lives in Duluth. Keith was Paul Dols the editor of the St. Croix Valley Press (now the Lowdown) and lives in Wausau, Wisconsin. I suspect that I might be somewhat biased about the podcast because I enjoyed working with both Mark and Keith and have also occasionally accompanied them on their outings. Last summer Mark rode his bike out to Stillwater and we rolled downtown and then pedaled along the loop trail that circles across the St. Croix Crossing bridge into Wisconsin, back across the Historic Lift Bridge and then up the Brown’s Creek Trail, which connects to the Gateway Trail. Last week friends from Minneapolis pedaled out for a visit and we completed the same loop. One of them commented that the Brown’s Creek segment, with its sun dappled semi-shaded light, was arguably one of the most pleasant trail segments in the region. I was present during one of the stories Mark and Keith recounted in their Magic of Thunderstorms podcast segment. It was during an early summer kayaking trip up on Lake Kabetogama in Voyageurs National Park. We had successfully paddled across the lake and were setting up our campsite on the northern shore when one of the loudest sounds I’ve ever heard in my life shocked us into attention. Lightning had struck a mature pine tree on a rocky point near our campsite, followed by rain. Even though it was raining, the tree burned from the inside for hours before it eventually cracked and fell into the water. I realize memory is fickle, but one of the details I still recall from this incident was the look of grave concern on the face of the experienced guide and outfitter who shuttled out provisions and fi rewood for us just before the thunderstorm hit. After looking up and seeing what was developing in the sky, he hurriedly dropped off our stuff and then gunned his powerboat back out across the big lake. One of the only other times I’ve seen a similar expression was on the face of the captain of a fishing boat on Lake Superior right before he instructed us to pull in our lines before speeding back to the harbor ahead of a quickly developing storm. The lesson I’ve gleaned from these experiences and a host of other misadventures, is to never underestimate and always respect the power of nature. Mark and Keith both have international travel experiences, so I believe that their podcast is not based on a strictly provincial point-of-view. Instead, it calls attention and elaborates on some of the world-class attractions, amenities, quirks and history that contribute to the unique character and quality of life in this part of the country. Find Minnesconsin/Wiscosota wherever you get your podcasts or find a link at presspubs.com. Paul Dols is photojournalist/website editor for Press Publications.

Don’t become a victim - Increase your suspicion

f you own or answer a phone today you’ve received calls about your vehicle warranty, loan forgiveness, the IRS demanding more money, your grandchild who is in jail, or any number of other attempts for criminals to find trusting people to prey upon. Although Lino Lakes is a safe community, we’re not crime free. The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department (LLPSD), along with most law Deputy enforcement agencies, Director have handled numerous Kyle Leibel investigations in recent years involving losses of various amounts of money by residents who either were convinced the caller was legitimate or didn’t feel they could stop the conversation. The LLPSD wants you all to know you have the authority, during any phone call, to stop the conversation and hang up. Contrary to what the caller might tell you, there are no decisions involving your protected information that you should make quickly, over the phone. Don’t feel compelled to give any of your information

just because the person on the other end of the line says things like, “time will run out,” or “you can’t afford to miss this,” or “In order to proceed, please confirm your account number for me.” Many victims have been tricked by fake email accounts and fake phone numbers that mimic a person they know or an entity the victim is involved with, otherwise known as spoofing. Consider making password changes part of your routine, and complicate those passwords. Once a hacker gets into your email, they’ll stay as long as you’ll let them, to absorb as much information as possible and use to their advantage later. Also, If anyone asks you to buy gift cards to fulfill some financial obligation with them, DON’T! No reputable person or entity will ask you to pay off a financial obligation by giving them the code numbers from a gift card. In general: • Don’t feel obligated to answer every call. Legitimate businesses and the police will leave you a message, if needed. • Be careful with emails. Regardless of the sender’s name, never click an electronic link within an email that you’re not certain came from a real person or from a legitimate email account. When in doubt, call that person yourself to

verify. Remember, the same email hacker who might be monitoring your friend’s computer, is looking for access to yours. • Never disclose sensitive information about yourself or others in your family or household by email. Only disclose information by phone if you’ve initiated the call and are confident who is on the other end of the line. • When your gut tells you something isn’t right, hang up. We want all our residents to know that it’s ok to call us about suspicious calls or emails. Our officers would much rather talk about concerns with you before crimes occur than to see you become a victim. Finally, if you find that you’ve become a victim of identity theft or a financial crime, please don’t delay your reporting. Even if the situation is embarrassing for you, it’s likely nothing we haven’t heard before. The sooner we can begin the process of stopping financial transactions, the more likely we are to successfully intercept funds before they reach their destinations. If you need us, call us, were ready to help. Kyle Leibel is the deputy director of the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department.

3M Open brings world to ‘front step’ of Blaine

WEEKLY WAG

BY CADEN CHRISTIANSEN PRESS INTERN

SUBMITTED SUBMITTED

Crowds gather at the 3M Open PGA Tour in Blaine.

Blaine and Anoka County, safety for spectators, competitors, staff and local citizens has been at the forefront of the agenda. TPC Twin Cities is unique for a PGA Tour course because it is located within a residential neighborhood. Because residents were in close proximity to a professional sporting event, the implementation of various safety measures was necessary for the tournament to commence smoothly. “We have done an excellent job working with other local law enforcement, like the Anoka County Sheriff’s Department, to really make sure that it’s as safe as possible,” said Sanders. In addition to the significant boost it provided to Blaine’s local economy, the 3M Open was a huge treat for local golf fans following the lack of spectators or sponsors at the 2020 event. The city took another economic hit when it canceled the USA Cup at the National Sports Center in 2020. As Minnesota slowly begins to emerge from a difficult year and a half, the city of Blaine is ready for sports and recreation to regain its stature as a sports hub. “We are a sports recreation community. We have embraced

that. We know that sports and recreation are huge drivers for our economy and for the families that live here and the visitors that come to participate,” said Sanders. “We absolutely relish the partnership with the PGA Tour and we are grateful that we are able to host them.” The tournament is expected to have around a $50 million impact on the region, with a bulk of that sum staying in Blaine. And as local businesses begin adjusting back to normal life, the 3M Open serves as a major economic lift for the north metro and the city of Blaine. “It is a real catalyst for our businesses, our restaurants and our other amenities,” said Sanders. “There is just a lot of momentum right now in the metro, and in Blaine in particular, as people are discovering what a great place it is to raise a family; it’s a great place to visit and an even better place to stay.”

Pandora is a sweet and friendly shepherd mix who came to Minnesota from Texas. She is settling nicely into her foster home and has reacted very well to all the new adults, children and dogs that she’s met. Pandora is about 40 pounds. She likes to go on walks and runs, although she’s not overwhelmingly active or energetic. Getting more comfortable in her new surroundings, her foster mom believes a more playful side of Pandora will begin emerging soon. As she continues to settle in, Pandora sleeps in her kennel at night and stays in her kennel when her foster family has to leave for short periods of time during the day. However, as Pandora gets more comfortable and continues to build trust, with her mellow disposition she may not need her kennel for very long. Although Pandora knows her basic commands, she may also do really well with some formal training. In fact, that may be a very good bonding activity for Pandora and her new forever family. If you are interested in Pandora, please fill out an adoption application at ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

Waiting Child Bridget,16, is an active, likable teen who can be very outgoing once she feels comfortable around you. She enjoys both playing and watching basketball especially the Golden State Warriors. She also likes watching football and is a fan of the Chicago Bears. Bridget’s favorite genre of music is rap. She is a huge fan of the rapper, Lil Baby. Bridget has an artistic side as well. She not only listens to rap, but she also writes her own rap lyrics.

The PGA Tour recently made a stop in Blaine as 72 professional golfers braved the heat and hit the links of TPC Twin Cities for the 2021 3M Open. Tournament winner 26-year-old Cameron Champ took home the trophy and more than $1.1 million dollars shooting -15 for the weekend, but Champ’s financial prize does not begin to compare to the massive economic impact the tournament has had on the city of Blaine. TPC Twin Cities is a championship golf course designed by golfing legend Arnold Palmer and University of Minnesota alumnus and professional golfer Tom Lehman. The course opened in 2000 and quickly became a stop on the senior tour for the 3M Championship in 2001. The course hosted this event for 18 years until 2019, when the PGA Tour debuted its first tournament at TPC Twin Cities with the 3M Open. Now the course has completed its third year of a seven-year contract with the PGA, and as local businesses are beginning to move out of the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament and its economic influence are huge for the city of Blaine. “Any time you get to bring the world to your front step, that is just absolutely an amazing opportunity,” said Blaine Mayor Tim Sanders. “There is a huge economic impact, and I feel like our businesses, our restaurants and our amenities deserve that economic impact right now after everything they have gone through.” Months of planning went into creating a successful event for all parties involved. In addition to close work with various groups such as 3M, the PGA, the city of

LOVE: Family amazed by support from community FROM PAGE 1

D.J. walks down the halls of the ICU for the first time since arriving in the hospital with his team of nurses.

Outpouring of prayers, support The family continues to be amazed by all of the prayers, support and financial contributions from the community, family, friends and strangers. That, along with the family’s strong faith in God, has carried them through. “We have thousands of people praying for us through many, many prayer chains and the power of God at work in saving his life and guiding the doctors with wisdom and giving D.J. courage and strength,” Susan explained. D. added, “The myriad of people in the community and everywhere else, it's just been absolutely incredible and it's been inspiring and very powerful. It is helping us make it through some very difficult times.”

D.J.’s colleagues set up a GoFundMe account to help cover expenses during his recovery. As of press deadlines last week, the fundraiser had raised $23,000 on a goal of $10,000. “At his age, you live paycheck to paycheck … It’s been incredible how people have donated so that D.J. can recover and not have to worry about the stress of paying his bills, car note, rent, utilities and college tuition,” Susan said. “With this special account, he's really able to rest and heal and focus on physical therapy and regaining his strength and not have to worry about financial strain.” Once D.J. is able to leave the ICU, he will spend time in the hospital’s cardiac unit. At this point, it is really uncertain how long D.J. will remain in the hospital, and how long it will take him to make a full recovery and

get back to a semblance of normal life. “It could be anywhere from three to six months before he’s able to get back to a normal living situation … but what he knew as normal before will be different,” D. said. Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

into cardiac arrest. He was put on a heart machine and transferred to the Twin Cities via helicopter. D. recalled, “We started driving to Fargo, and as we were nearing St. Cloud, the doctors called us and said, ‘You should stop and turn around. We are going to fly him back down there.” All of this came as a shock to the Loves, as D.J. has always been very healthy and active. “He has really avoided the hospital for all of his 22 years. He’s been incredibly healthy, very active, very strong and is a former athlete,” D. explained. As of last week, D.J. had undergone several surgeries and procedures, including open-heart surgery, surgery to remove a blood clot in his leg, a procedure to install a tube into his lung and several procedures to install different heart pumps. Thus far, the family has not been given many answers about what may have led to all of this. “Honestly, there's a lot of theories, but there's no actual facts that have been able to be specifically rendered as of yet. It's just a huge question,” D. said. “It is not normal for a 21-year-old who is healthy and active to have this happen, but the beautiful thing about it was that he responded accordingly, went to the doctor, got checked. If it was not for that reaction, we'd be having a different conversation right now.” (D.J. celebrated his 22nd birthday July 21 in the ICU.) Susan added, “It would have been so easy for D.J. to continue to ignore this situation, thinking, ‘I just have a really bad flu and I’ll work through it,’ but he thankfully listened to his gut instinct and went in, and as a result he's alive today.”

I can't recall a period of time when we've had so many days with smoke-filled skies. On about July 10 was the beginning, when smoke from the Canadian fires first moved in overhead. Since then our skies have been a milky color and at times the smoke has reached the ground limiting visibility and producing a smoky smell. The smoke comes in waves and over this past weekend we did enjoy a period of somewhat blue skies. As long as we're in this current pattern, high pressure ridge aloft to our west, the smoke will be with us.

Circle Pines and Centerville approve fire district contract with SBM BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

After a year and a half of work on the topic, the cities of Circle Pines and Centerville have approved a contract for a new partnership for the Centennial Fire District (CFD). Last week, both of the cities’ councils approved a professional services agreement for administration and management services between CFD and the Spring Lake Park – Blaine – Mounds View (SBM) Fire Department. “We have gone through a long, exhaustive process,” Circle Pines City Administrator Patrick Antonen explained. “The consultants really did a deep dive into our department.” The process all began last April when the CFD steering committee authorized emergency services consultant Fitch & Associates of Missouri to complete an operations study to evaluate options for organizational structure and how to provide the best coverage for the best price. The study was necessary to plan for the future of the district after

both Assistant Chief David Bruder and Chief Harlan Lundstrom retired. Two main options came out of the study — CFD could hire its own chief and two full-time firefighters, or CFD could contract with SBM for administrative services. The latter option was determined to be the most cost-effective option, while providing an increased coverage level to the district. Circle Pines City Council Member Matt Percy said, “Our ultimate goal is to deliver a better service, deliver better value and maintain our community identity and fire department identity. We think we will be able to do that by partnering with SBM.” Circle Pines City Council Member Dean Goldberg mentioned there will be great economies of scale with this new partnership. “I have a lot of faith that this will be the right direction for the city of Circle Pines and Centerville,” he said. Centerville Mayor D. Love said, “This gave us an opportunity to say, ‘Is there something different we should be doing? Is there a different

approach? Is there a better way to do something?’ Without taking a chance to figure that out, we just go back to doing the same old thing.” Love added that this partnership will not only allow CFD to be on the cutting edge of the regional approach to firefighting that is happening in the industry, but also offer robust training opportunities for CFD firefighters. Centerville City Council Member Russ Koski said, “I think it is the way of the future. We are having a hard time getting responders during the day, and this takes care of a lot of the issues with training and equipment needs.” Per the three-year agreement, SBM will provide administrative services to include (but not limited to) preparing an annual budget for steering committee review, ongoing fiscal management, operational and capital longterm planning and human resources tasks such as recruiting and hiring. Management services will include providing incident command and operational oversight, developing a training program, collecting/

analyzing data, continuing personnel development, reviewing city ordinances and recommendations, providing emergency management assistance and maintaining equipment. Under the agreement, SBM will hire and provide two full-time personnel dedicated to the Centennial Division. Those two individuals will be employees of SBM. In addition, one officer from SBM Fire Administration will be detailed to CFD during regular workweek days with a goal of four workdays per week. CFD will pay SBM $95,000 for fiscal year 2021 for administrative and fire management services with an annual increase of 3% for inflation starting in fiscal year 2022. For fiscal year 2021, $172,956 will be the base budget for personnel costs for two fulltime positions dedicated to the CFD Division. The agreement also includes an annual increase of 3% for inflation and step raises starting in fiscal year 2022. SBM Chief Charlie Smith thanked the councils and fire steering committee for putting their trust in the department.

“We are a people-centered organization from a leadership perspective … We exist solely to support our firefighters, no matter who they are. No matter what it says on the side of that fire truck, it needs to be in front of that house or wherever that may be as quick as we possibly can,” he said. “We have to make sure that we are delivering that service as effectively and efficiently as possible, making sure that we are responsible with taxpayer money that everyone works so hard to earn.” The agreement does have an opt-out clause, so if at any time either of the parties is unhappy with the arrangement, the agreement can be terminated before the end of the three-year period. Smith shared that the interviews for the two fulltime firefighter positions for the Centennial Division have already been completed, and those staff should be in place by mid-August. Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@ presspubs.com.

Lakes must grant “host approval” to the issuance of the note.
