Hands-free cellphone bill now law: Here’s what to know BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
BY THE NUMBERS
While driving, Minnesotans should ensure that their hands remain on their wheels—and not on their phones. Holding a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle is now illegal in Minnesota, as the hands-free cellphone bill, signed by Gov. Tim Walz in April, took effect Aug. 1. Since 2013, it has been illegal in Minnesota to send text messages or access the internet while driving, but phone calls were permitted, so long as the driver wasn’t distracted. Under the new law, drivers cannot hold a cellphone—or use one to type, scroll or view content—while operating a motor vehicle, including while stopped in traffic or at a light. If caught, drivers face a petty misdemeanor, which carries a $50 fine. Add in court fees, and that fine could total $130. Subsequent violations carry a $275 fine, plus court fees. With the new law now in effect, Minnesota has joined 17 states and Washington, D.C., in requiring drivers to have their phones in handsfree or voice-activated mode while operating a vehicle. Supporters of the law hope that Minnesota will see results similar to those in other states, where traffic fatalities have decreased by 15% on average since such laws took effect. The dangers of distraction Each year, nearly 20% of crashes throughout Minnesota are related to distracted driving. From 2014 to 2018, more than 60,000 accidents

Likewise, distracted driving results in an average of 45 deaths and approximately 200 life-changing injuries per year, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. That’s a set of statistics that Tom Goeltz, of Hudson, knows all too well. A safety and risk management consultant, he spends a significant part of his workweeks educating
audiences about the dangers of driving while distracted, but the issue is also personal to him. In February 2016, his daughter Megan was killed in a crash caused by a distracted driver. “It was a classic distracted driving case. There was kind of a bend in the road, and (the driver) never took the turn. He kept going straight and rolled into a ditch,” Goeltz said. “He SEE DISTRACTED DRIVING, PAGE 12
State Fair: ‘The longest marathon you will ever run’ BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
A Lino Lakes couple who met at the State Fair 23 years ago can’t wait to “run a marathon” at this year’s big get-together. Brendan and Melissa Szala have brought their Pitchfork Sausage truck to the fair for seven years. The two met while working at Butcher Boys and have now been married for 13 years. They have four children who are also involved when they can be, including Trevor, 10, Zoey, 7, Colin, 4, and 8-month-old Lexie. “The State Fair is the longest marathon you
will ever run, but you are still having the most fun of your life. We work 18-hour days, you go home, take a shower, take a nap, and then you go and do it again. You just do it because you like doing it. It is fun and every day is different,” Melissa said. “I have had office jobs, and nothing will prepare you for the rush that you get from going to the fair, seeing all the lights, hearing all the sounds and being there almost every minute it is open of every single day.” The two left the fair scene to finish up college and start a family, but their business partner SEE PITCHFORK SAUSAGE, PAGE 10

Constituents crowd Emmer’s town hall to talk health care, environment BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
Constituents from Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District fi lled Scandia City Hall last week for a town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R). Questions covered a range of concerns, from gun safety in schools to war with Iran to mining in the Boundary Waters. Emmer, a former state representative, has represented Minnesota’s 6th District since 2015. He secured a third term in 2018, winning his re-election bid against DFL challenger Ian Todd with 61% of the votes. Emmer serves on the House Financial Services Committee and chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which recruits Republican candidates and works to elect Republicans to the U.S. House of Representatives. Among the topics raised by constituents at the July 31 meeting, health care and the environment dominated much of the conversation. Joan Del Rio, of Stacy, urged Emmer to address the rising cost of health insurance premiums. “I pay $560 (for health insurance) every month … and it covers nothing except for some preventive testing until I then throw in another $6,650. I can’t go to the doctor, even though I pay $560 a month because I go and I incur more bills, and my income is finite,” she said. “Please do something about that.” Emmer blamed the Affordable Care Act for costly health insurance premiums. “The Affordable Care Act did not work. It has collapsed. It’s dead. It’s gone. It drove up premiums. It reduced choice.” Emmer also said that health care has been overly politicized by both parties. “What I disagree with is Republicans and Democrats pointing the fi nger at one another over these things. This is not a political issue. We’ve made it one.” “It was your (party’s) bill to begin with,” one constituent interrupted. “Oh, here you go; ‘it’s you guys.’ I don’t mean to be critical, but it shouldn’t be about us and you …. It’s not whether someone is a Republican or a Democrat. It’s (about) what are your ideas to try and tackle it,” Emmer responded. “The other way didn’t work. We’ve got to start looking at how do you drive premiums back down while at the same time providing coverage for pre-existing conditions so that everybody can get access to the health care they need …. At the end of the day, it’s an insurance issue.” Emmer also said that he believes that health care should be the purview of individual states and not the federal government. “What we should do is return the authority back to the state. We should restore Minnesota’s ability to choose.” He has previously said that he supports a system in which insurance can be purchased across state lines and moves with an individual, which he says will extend coverage and competition. Several attendees pressed Emmer on his environmental record. Wendy Ward, of Marine on St. Croix, questioned Emmer’s support for the PolyMet and Twin Metals mining projects near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). “I’m wondering if you’re aware of the immense

financial risks the state is assuming by allowing this project …. Every copper-sulfite mine has left communities and environments destroyed,” she said. “I’m wondering why you think it’s acceptable to saddle us as taxpayers with a perpetually toxic environment and then the tax bill to respond to this health crisis.” Emmer said that he trusts environmental review results for both projects. “If someone proposes a project that doesn’t meet the environmental review standards (and) is going to destroy the environment or leave the devastation that you suggest, it should never go forward. We have never advocated for that,” he said. “With the PolyMet situation, as I understand, it has gone through a decade-plus of review …. If it makes it through the process, and it has been proved through the incredibly steep and detailed environmental processes of the state, it should be allowed to proceed.” As the town hall drew to a close, many attendees expressed frustration that the hour-long meeting did not allow time to fully address the issues raised. Emmer said that he will continue to hold more town meetings. “This is our ninth in-person town hall of the year,

Bad news part 2
received positive feedback on my column earlier this summer on bad news, so I am expanding on the topic. In my last column, I explained how I don’t like bad news. However, I explained how bad news is important to report because it reminds us of the consequences of crime and carelessness. It also encourages us to care about those around us. When bad things happen, we can be neighbors who stop and help or offer prayers and thoughts from a distance. I think a reader who called to compliment my column said it best. She said the news is important to follow because it helps one to “conjure up compassion for the Story wrongs of the world.â€? She also noted something about bad news Chaser that I was hoping to expand on — Sara Marie Moore the good news that is often hidden within bad news. This thought reminds me of what Mr. Rogers said his mother told him when they saw bad news: “Look for the helpers.â€? Mr. Rogers passed on this wisdom to the world through his children’s television show. When bad things happen, there are always people who come to help — ďŹ rst responders, ofďŹ cers, volunteers, friends and family. These are the types of people who can turn bad news into better news. When 12 boys went missing inside a cave in Thailand last summer, it was bad news. But good news came when they were found and rescued by an international effort involving thousands of people. It would have been really bad news in White Bear Lake last month if there had been no helpers when a gas line was accidentally struck by a utility crew. But ďŹ reďŹ ghters quickly evacuated the area and put in a hose line in case the gas ignited. A potential catastrophe was averted. You can either moan and complain about whomever mislabeled the gas line or you can look at the bright side and see how an accident was rectiďŹ ed without an explosion or any injuries. It was bad news this summer when several homes in the northeast metro were broken into by a group of thieves, and credit cards and cars were stolen. But police ofďŹ cers were hot on their trail. It was devastating when a Hugo dancer went into cardiac arrest during a concert this summer. But it was serendipitous that an EMT, doctor and nurse were in the audience. They began CPR right away. Fortunately, she is expected to fully recover. Not all bad news turns out so well. But even in the worst news, there might be good news that comes out of it. Within mass shootings, there are often heroes. When hurricanes strike, people come long distances to help. When young girls are sold for sex, people who don’t even know them rise up to help stop trafďŹ cking. Members of the Minnesota Human TrafďŹ cking Investigators Task Force and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi will present on what they are doing to stop sex trafďŹ cking in Minnesota at the Shoreview Community Center from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 13. The event is hosted by the Shoreview Human Rights Commission. I encourage you to attend to learn about the bad news — the prevalence of trafďŹ cking — and the good news about what is being done to stop it. Bad news isn’t good but if you take the time to “Look for the helpers,â€? you’ll see the silver lining in the clouds. Sara Marie Moore is editor of the Shoreview Press and Vadnais Heights Press. She can be reached at shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or 651-407-1235.

New laws will help keep Minnesotans safe on road
W
hether driving up to the cabin, carpooling kids to camp, or towing your boat to the lake, Minnesotans spend much of the summer on the road. From these busy ďŹ nal weeks of summer to the dead of winter, we must do everything we can to ensure our families arrive where they’re going safely. That is why I signed three bills into law this year that will help keep Minnesotans safe Movers & behind the wheel. They became effective Aug. 1, and Shakers here’s what you Gov. Tim Walz need to know. Clocking many il d i i my daughter to miles driving soccer games, I know ďŹ rsthand how frustrating it is to get stuck behind a car going slowly in the left lane. Not only is it annoying, it poses a safety hazard by disrupting the ow of trafďŹ c. Minnesota has long had a requirement that slowermoving motorists use the right lane and allow others to pass when practicable. But to ensure this is being followed, this law has been modernized to make clear that slow drivers must move over to the right lane, and could be subject to a ďŹ ne if they create a trafďŹ c hazard. The law doesn’t give folks permission to speed, but will help mitigate trafďŹ c hazards and road rage. We all know summer in
STATE OF MINNESOTA | SUBMITTED
Minnesota is also known as “construction season.â€? And that is not just a saying. In fact, there are more than 220 active work zones scheduled throughout our state this season. These work zones present different trafďŹ c patterns, changing speeds, and even road obstacles. Over the past three years, 31 Minnesotans have died and over 120 have been seriously injured in work zones. A new law effective August 1 allows police ofďŹ cers to issue a citation to drivers who violate instructions from work zone aggers based on a report from that worker. It will help reduce crashes in work zones, provide a safer workplace for construction workers, and ensure the people who build our roads and bridges get home safely to their families. Finally, I am honored to have signed a law this year to help prevent distracted driving. One of the most emotional moments of my time as governor so far was the signing ceremony for this bill. Surrounded by the families of Minnesotans who have lost their lives due to distracted drivers, it was a time to acknowledge how they have turned personal tragedy into advocacy. Distracted
driving, on average, plays a role in one in ďŹ ve crashes in Minnesota. Too many of these crashes have resulted in deaths. That is why we worked with these brave families to pass a law that prohibits drivers from holding a phone while driving. The law allows cell phone use, but only in hands-free mode or using one-touch activation. While these families know there is no way to get back stolen graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, and wedding days, this law will help ensure more Minnesotans make it home to their loved ones. There’s not much better than the open road during the summer — driving up I-35W for a weekend on Lake Vermilion or down MN60 to visit friends in Mankato. Kids laughing, windows down, and Tom Petty on the radio is the backdrop of some of my favorite memories. That’s the way it should be, and I am proud of these new laws to help keep Minnesotans safe on the road. Stay safe out there, and enjoy these ďŹ nal days of summer. See you at the Fair! Tim Walz is governor of Minnesota.

Discovering the ways in which God moves God is up to something. This is the assumption that underlies much of the work that we get to engage in as people of faith. God is up to something. Just exactly what that “something” is emerges through practices of faith: mindfulness, prayer, worship, study, service and community. These practices together are all aimed at discovering the ways in which God is moving in the world, so that we can be equipped to encounter and engage in God’s movement. If I had to come up with a defi nition of mission, it would derive from this discovery. God is up to something and God wants you to join in that something. We learn through scripture and tradition that the primary means through which God engages in God’s work in the world is through us— through you. As people of faith, our mission is to
join in God’s mission; specifically, we join in God’s mission to bring about reconciliation, the restoration of broken relationships and the wholeness of fragmented lives. Every moment is an opportunity to participate in God’s mission. Summer at Our Savior’s Lutheran is full of mission, around the comPastor munity, the country and the world. summer I have been privileged Ponderings This to accompany young people as they engage in God’s mission around the Tim Maybee Quad community, in the cities and in DC. Our hope is that through these experiences, young people begin to see that they are called to engage in God’s work not just
during these set apart times, but during their daily lives as well. They learn through these experiences what God’s mission looks like. It looks like humanizing and relating to those who are different from oneself. It looks like sharing experiences with people whose life experiences have not been like our own. It looks like standing alongside those who are marginalized and vulnerable and insisting on the worth and dignity and belovedness of all of God’s children. God is up to something and that something is reconciliation. That the work of doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). Tim Maybee is the pastor for community engagement at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Circle Pines.

August declared Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month Across the country, many children are beginning a new school year and healthy vision will be critical to a successful academic year. As a child grows, an untreated eye disease or condition becomes more difficult to correct. Vision problems that can affect children include amblyopia, (“lazy eye”), strabismus, (“crossed eyes”) and the most common forms of refractive error: myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). For the second year in a row, Prevent Blindness and the National Optometric Association (NOA) are teaming up to declare August
as Children’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month to educate parents and caregivers on the steps that should be taken to ensure that students are provided with the best opportunity to have a successful school year through healthy vision. To help educate parents and in celebration of its 10th anniversary, the National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness is offering the newly revised “Guide to Vision Health for Your Newborn, Infant, and Toddler.” The guide offers information on a variety of topics, including common milestones for visual development, how to help your baby’s vision to develop, warning signs of possible vision problems and more. To download a copy of the guide or for more information
on children’s eye health and safety, call Prevent Blindness at 800-331-2020 or visit preventblindness.org.
Anoka County seeking input on housing, community development You are invited to participate in an online survey to provide input on housing and community development priorities. Anoka County is preparing its five-year consolidated plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The consolidated planning process provides an opportunity for residents to offer input on housing, economic and community development needs and priorities for potential investments of Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnership Program funds. The
purpose of these programs is to potentially fund activities that provide decent housing, create suitable living environments and expand economic opportunities — principally for low- and moderate-income persons and neighborhoods. As part of this process, Anoka County is seeking feedback from a diverse group of county residents to identify local housing and community development needs. Your participation will assist Anoka County in identifying high priorities. This user-friendly survey takes just a few minutes to complete. Please rate each program or activity based on what you feel is the level of need for your community.

Future Cougars help U13 soccer team capture two Target USA titles Eight players from Centennial Middle School were members of the North Suburban Soccer Association (NSAA) girls U13 team that captured two championships at the 2019 Target USA Cup. NSAA U13 won both the USA Cup Weekend Kickoff and USA Cup Weeklong Tournament crowns, posting an 11-1-1 record, in action July 12-20 in Blaine. This feat, known as “The Double,” has been achieved just three times by female teams in its 35-year-history, and not since 2006. The team’s 18-member roster included: Lino Lakes residents Jordan Metz, Lucy Hopkins, Morgan Grundfeldt, Marissa Frost and Ruby Reisdorfer; and Blaine residents Elana Engum, Preslee Nepote and Kate Hamski. All are entering eighth grade at Centennial Middle School. Defenders Grundfeldt, Nepote, Hamski and goalkeeper Metz helped NSSA U13 post nine shutouts in 13 games. Attacking midfielders Engum, Frost, Hopkins and Reisdorfer helped the squad outscore opponents 29-5. “These ladies played 13 games in eight days, most of them in 95-degree heat,” says coach Sharon Lokowich. “To never let up and to walk away with two championships, it’s just a remarkable accomplishment for any team at any age level.” Founded in 1970, NSSA was the fi rst organized youth soccer club in Minnesota. The community-based organization serves over 1,000 youth athletes throughout the northern Twin Cities region. The club sent 14 teams to the 2019 Target USA Cup, which welcomed teams from as far away as Japan, Liberia and Brazil.

Lino Lakes runner completes quest: Marathons in all 50 states BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Just to run one marathon, 26.2 miles, is a fairly daunting goal. How about running a marathon in all 50 states? That’s the remarkable quest that Mike Schwarz, 60, of Lino Lakes completed recently. After striding through the finish line in North Bend, Washington, on July 27, at the Jack and Jill Downhill Marathon, Schwarz has run one in every state from sea to shining sea. For the record, he finished 470th in four hours, 32 minutes that day. “Not sure what kicked in back in May of 2014 that got me started, other than I love to travel and I already had 20 states completed,” Schwarz reflected, referring to a Fargo race where he decided to set this goal. “Once I finished last Saturday, it seemed kind of anticlimactic. Much of the fun getting through states 21 through 50 was where to go next and when, and what is the cheapest way to get there.” Schwarz, whose occupation is controller for Touchpoint Media in Plymouth, will alter his running goals now. “I am looking forward to seeing if I can push myself (and stay healthy) in training to be able to run a much faster time than I have been, at upcoming Twin Cities Marathon,” he said. For the occasion in Washington, Schwarz’s wife Michelle, brothers Dave and Steve, and sister Liz all made the trip with him. Normally, Schwarz said, he goes solo to faraway states “to keep costs down.” Michelle used to run marathons also, including one Boston before they met. Asked if race officials in Washington made note of his feat, he said, “They did ... sort of.” Misunderstanding the situation, they announced, as he crossed the line, that it was his 50th marathon.
SUBMITTED
Mike Schwarz treks across a bridge July 27 in a marathon concluding in North Bend, Washington — the last of his 50 states.
Actually it was the 154th total marathon for Schwarz, all between ages 32 and 60. His first was Grandma’s in Duluth in 1990. After running Fargo’s in 2014, he made a resolution. “I had run 20 different states,” he said, “and caught the bug to do all 50.” In just five years since then, he made his way to the other 30 states. The last six in the countdown were Hawaii (Waikoloa), Oregon (Banks), Connecticut (Hartford), Oklahoma (Tulsa), Maryland (Greenbelt) and finally Washington. Schwarz has run Grandma’s the most, 27 times, followed by the Twin Cities Marathon (10 times), Walker North Country (six), Mardi Gras in
New Orleans (six), Boston (four) and Rome (four). Yes, that’s Rome, Italy. He’s run 20 marathons in Europe, in seven countries, and five in Canada. “In the past I would go to Europe to run marathons and then sight-see around that. Now. it’s more that we go to sight-see, and if there is a marathon around close by, I might just have to go over and check it out.” Along with 43 marathons in Minnesota, his most frequent states are Wisconsin (19) and California (five). And in 154 consecutive starts, he has always finished, although he’s walked across the finish line in some. Asked if he knows anyone else who’s done all 50 states, he said he knows
one, Dale Heinen of Shoreview. Schwarz is a middle of the pack runner. His top finishes came in a couple small marathons — 11th among about 100 in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1999, and top-ten in another small field in Brookings, South Dakota, in 1996. It was at Anchorage that he posted his best time: three hours, 18 minutes. His next best was 3:20 in one of his Boston races. Not much in Schwarz’s youth signaled that he would be a lifelong athlete. He joined the track team only as a senior in high school in Farmington and as a freshman in college at UM-Duluth. “I was not at the top of the food chain (athletically),” said Schwarz. Between then and his 30’s, all he did was run to stay in shape. “It is a bit odd,” he said, “that running a marathon didn’t really occur to me until I was 30.” Marathons are almost exclusively his distance. “Once in a great while I will run a half marathon, and probably will run more of those going forward,” he said. “I have never run an ultra marathon or a triathlon.” His favorite training venue is the Sunrise Prairie Trail between Wyoming and North Branch. The most high-profile marathons he’s run are Boston, New York, Chicago and Rome. As for the most beautiful courses, he designates three in Switzerland. “Jungfrau Marathon, from Interlaken to Klein Schidegg, is at the top of the list for sheer scenery,” he said, “followed closely by Davos and Lausanne.” In the USA, he said, “Grandma’s and Twin Cities are as scenic as any.” Schwarz is signed up for his 155th marathon, the Twin Cities marathon on Oct. 6. “As long as I’m healthy, I plan on doing marathons, just not quite as many,” he said, “but always Grandma’s if I can.”

PITCHFORK SAUSAGE: Lino Lakes couple creates happiness through food FROM PAGE 1

We tried to get in for a few years, and then we got that magical phone call in 2013 that our application was accepted,� Melissa explained. Every year the couple has to re-apply for a spot at the fair and cross their fi ngers in hopes that they will get the opportunity to go one more time. Pitchfork Sausage serves Polish and Italian sausage. The sausage is served one of three ways — on a pitchfork, steamed roll, or sliced up/ appetizer-style in a dish. They also cater to many food allergies, including gluten, dairy, egg, peanut, tree nut, fi sh and shellfi sh. “Seeing kids who have food allergies who can’t eat hardly anything come and be able to order anything on the menu

Their hope is to one day attend other state fairs, too. Brendan works for the Hennepin County Jail, and Melissa has been a stay-at-home mom for the past three years since she left a job in the corporate world. “If there were ever an industry that I could tell somebody to go into, if they have a really good idea or the drive to be on their own, I would tell them to get into the carnival theme.

DISTRACTED DRIVING: How to go hands-free FROM PAGE 1
Area departments highlight key points of new legislation SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
MINNESOTA DEPRATMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY | SUBMITTED
Gov. Tim Walz signs the hands-free cellphone bill into law while surrounded by family members of victims of distracted driving. Pictured on the far right are Wendy and Tom Goeltz, whose daughter Megan was killed by a distracted driver.
rolled through the ditch for about 75 feet, and came up on a crossroad, where Megan was waiting at a stoplight, waiting to turn onto the highway …. He never even slowed down; he was traveling 54 miles per hour when he hit her.” Megan was brought to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where she was pronounced dead. Then 22, she was pregnant with her second child when she died. “Right now, I should be holding a two-and-ahalf-year-old grandson,” Goeltz said. Megan’s daughter, Paisley, was three when her mother died. “She probably won’t even remember her mother, other than what we talk about and show her to try to keep (Megan’s) memory alive,” Goeltz said. Due to his job, Goeltz has been a long-time advocate for distraction-free driving, but Megan’s sudden death motivated him to become even more active. He has been a vocal supporter of the hands-free cellphone bill. “I’m proud and happy that this is now law, but hands-free isn’t risk-free. When I present, I tell people not to use their phone at all—turn it off; put it into airplane mode,” he said. “Even hands-free doesn’t help with the cognitive distraction, and that’s the really bad part of the distraction.” However, Goeltz nevertheless sees the hands-free law as an important and much-needed
addition to Minnesota’s traffic laws. “At the end of the day, if we save 15% of Minnesota drivers and people driving through Minnesota, that’s great,” he said. “But I’d like to save everybody. I want zero tolerance (for distracted driving) because one life lost is too many …. I do this out of love and respect for Megan and her son. They can’t speak anymore, but they can speak through me.” How to go hands-free Lisa Kons, Traffic Safety Programs Manager at the Minnesota Safety Council, emphasized that hands-free means completely hands-free: holding a cellphone at all while operating a motor vehicle unless in the case of an emergency, is against the law. “That means no typing, no swiping, no scrolling, and the biggie is that you cannot use a cellphone, or any other communicative device, while you’re a part of traffic and in motion,” she said. “If you’re pulled over and safely out of the way of traffic, that’s one thing, but if you’re driving or at a light, no holding your phone, no looking down at it.” Kons said that modern-day gadgets and smartphone technology can make the handsfree transition smoother for drivers. She recommended that drivers use Bluetooth to sync their phones with their cars’ stereo system. For older vehicles without Bluetooth capa-

The new law requires hands-free use of cell phones. You can use your phone like this:

bilities or AUX jacks, cassette adapters, which come with a cord that plugs into standard headphone jacks, function the same way. Like Goeltz, Kons emphasized that hands-free and distraction-free are not synonymous, as the safest way to use a phone while driving is to simply not use it at all. “If you must use your phone, be hands-free. But the real safe thing to do is not to use your phone at all,” Kons said. “The fact of the matter is we want your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and head in the game. Be aware of the task at hand, which is driving.”

Press Publications sat down with the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) and Lino Lakes Public Safety Department (LLPSD) to see what motorists need to know about the new hands-free legislation. “I believe law enforcement in general, and our department in particular, believes this is a good law and it’s going to save lives,” said CLPD Lt. Russell Blanck, “and frankly, that is the goal. Let’s get back to basics, pay attention to what we are doing behind the wheel and minimize the opportunity for tragedies. “The simple takeaway from the new law i that drivers are allowed to use their is c phones to make calls, texts, listen to cell m music or podcasts, and get directions, but o only by voice commands or single-touch a activation without holding the phone. The k point is you may not hold the phone in key y your hand.” Russ Blanck Motorists are no longer allowed to prop a phone in between their ear and shoulder. Blanck explained there are a couple of exceptions written into the law, which include: It is okay for women to tuck a cell phone into a hijab as long as it stays securely in place and does not block vision in any way. There is also an exception for motorists to hold their phone to obtain emergency assistance or “if there is an immediate threat to life and safety,” Blanck explained.
Location: Dellwood Country Club, 29 Highway 96 East, Dellwood Mn. Date / time: August 12th & 13th from 2:00pm to 6:00pm Minimum of one year restaurant management experience required. Please Provide resume and relevant job skills. Management positions include benefits.
“One major takeaway from this that people need to understand is that distracted driving is distracted driving,” Blanck said. “If you have a new vehicle with all of the bells and whistles and you can utilize your phone in a way intended by the law, but you are so consumed with trying to do something on the screen of your car that you are not paying attention, that is still distracted driving and that’s still very dangerous.” He added, “If you are distracted, you can still get pulled over, especially if your driving conduct demonstrates that you are distracted. Keep your eyes on the road.” Blanck described the new law as “common sense.” When compared to the “no texting while driving” law, the new legislation is more clear about when an officer can pull someone over. “If you have your phone in your hand and you don’t meet those couple of exceptions, you can expect that it may constitute a reasonable suspicion for an officer to pull you over. At that point there is potential for enforcement action of various types, from a warning to a citation,” he said. LLPSD LLPSD Traffic Safety Officer Tou Vang explained, “The new hands-free law says that you can no longer hold your cell phone while you drive, plus you can’t text and drive or go through your cell phone in traffic. The law does allow you to answer your phone if it is mounted, with single touch activation.” The most common confusion about the law is many p people assume it is okay to use their p phone if they are stopped at a traffic light o stop sign, Vang said. “It applies as long or a you are in traffic, meaning you could as b driving down the road on the freeway be o at a traffic light or stop sign. When I do or t traffi c enforcement, a lot of times when I a why they were texting, they will say, ask ‘ ‘Because I was stopped at the stop light.’” Tou Vang Vang wants people to remember that cops are not out to get you. “It doesn’t make a difference at all to us if we need to get more (traffic stops) this week or more next week. We are there for the big picture, making sure that you get to your destination, from point A to point B, without having to worry about either yourself or another driver being distracted and causing an accident that can seriously hurt someone.”

Governor aims for compromise in split state Legislature BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Gov. Tim Walz said he was pleased with how the Legislature compromised for the good of Minnesota this session but is not yet satisfied because the state left several important issues unsolved this year. These include roads, climate change and gun violence. Yet, Walz was proud of standing with the House and Senate majority leaders at the end of the session to say they came up with a pretty good solution on the state's budget. Walz, a Democrat, was leading the country's only split state Legislature; the Minnesota House majority is Democrat and the Senate majority is Republican. He said he was criticized for giving Republican Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka credit for the budget, but he is still proud of working together. “It's not about winning or losing political battles but finding long-term solutions,” Walz told a group gathered for an event hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce at the Maplewood Community Center July 23. “I’m not naive. I supervised a high school lunchroom.” Walz hopes that the Legislature can come up with compromises on more divisive issues in 2020. “2020 is going to be a challenge because everything that was kicked down the road was tough ones,” he said. For example, climate change and gun violence. “They tend
to be divisive, but they have to be addressed,” he noted. The biggest unfinished business for Minnesota, he said, is the roads. Walz believes there should have been bonding or gas taxes passed for road construction and maintenance this year. He proposed a gas tax of 20 cents a gallon and tried to compromise down to one cent, he said. He proposed a gas tax because Minnesota’s gas tax falls below the national average. However, the gas tax proposal was “ideologically poison” to politicians and residents. But the state is $18.7 billion short in road funding, Walz noted. “I would ask all of you come back and analyze the cost and find a way to do this,” he said. “If your roof is falling in, it is not being fiscally conservative to let it fall in and delay when you could have got better interest rates.” He said the state has almost as many roadways as Texas or California because prior generations invested to make the state connected and modern to increase the standard of living. “Future generations are looking to us to do our fair share,” Walz said. “Eleven cents would put us on par with what previous generations invested.” The gover nor said he doesn’t want to pay a gas tax himself but the money to keep Minnesota’s roads in shape has to come from somewhere. “Ask not what Minnesota can do for you; ask what you can do for Minnesota,” he said.

“It's not about winning or losing political battles but finding long-term solutions.” Tim Walz Minnesota governor In 2020, he hopes the roads can be addressed instead of “kicking the proverbial can down the potholed road” again. Walz said he was pleased to see the only divided state Legislature in the nation end the session with dignity; it completed a budget on time for the fi rst time in a decade. “We proved there are compromises to be found,” he said. “Folks compromise for the good of Minnesota.” One factor that led to increased compromise this year were some final
budget meetings that were closed to the public. The government was criticized for making decisions behind closed doors, but Walz said it needed to occur to reach a compromise. “We are in a situation now where no one can compromise in public,” he said. Walz said he wants to work on making the proceedings as transparent as possible, but it is difficult for compromise to occur under the public eye when people “blow things apart,” he said.
Shoreview resident Mark Hughes came to hear Gov. Tim Walz speak at the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce event July 23. He said he came to ask the governor to move Metro Mobility back under the Metro Transit umbrella. He thinks the service would then be more reliable because workers would be paid better; the starting wage is about a $4 difference.
