LINO LAKES AMBASSADORS: Meet this year’s candidates PAGE 5

Council recognizes area life savers BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

Night to Unite NOELLE OLSON | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

The Centennial Fire Department made their rounds throughout neighborhood parties on Night to Unite. Pictured left to right are firemen Jake Bond, Jake Pfeffer and Rob Wyse. Night to Unite is a statewide event that builds and fosters community bonds between communities and public safety organizations such as local fire departments and law enforcement. This annual celebration occurs on the first Tuesday in August and gathers neighborhoods and public safety personnel together for an evening to promote safe communities.

LINO LAKES — Two lives are forever changed thanks to the quick response of residents and first responders. The City Council recognized the actions of two Lino Lakes residents and members of the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department, Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) and Allina EMS at its last meeting. Kevin and Diane Kuznia received a Life Saving Award July 26 for their actions back in April. At 7:20 p.m. on Saturday, April 3, Diane called 911 to report a cold-waterrelated medical situation involving an adult male who was unconscious and clinging to a branch in the water of Peltier Lake. Kevin jumped into the very cold water to help the male, who was mostly submerged and partially trapped under a tree leaning into the water. In the time it took fi rst responders to respond and locate them, Kevin and the victim’s wife were able to free the male’s trapped arm and leg from under the tree, then held him above water to keep him from drowning. When members of the police and fire division arrived, they found the male patient unresponsive and hypothermic. Officers and fi refighters helped Kevin pull the patient up the bank and onto dry land, where care was provided in an effort to dry and warm the patient before carrying him

Project Who Am I helping teens choose ideal careers When Oie Dobier’s daughter Nya was looking at colleges in her sophomore year of high school, she realized it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Oie said, “I asked myself, ‘Where do you start?’ Looking at the career fi rst is the wrong approach. We should start looking at who she is as a person and what she values fi rst before she chooses a career,” Nya’s mother said. “And that’s pretty much when Project Who Am I began.” Oie, her husband Darren, and Nya, of Stillwater, launched the

OOF NEW R S! NT DISCOU

online program, Project Who Am I, in February. “It’s an online self-discovery, self-paced program for struggling teenagers to help them fi nd their ideal career and help them discover who they are as a person,” Oie said. “Each week they have selfreflection exercises to do. We have it set up where they form a small support group and usually a parent facilitates the group session and the group is a sounding board to say what they learned about themselves.” Darren does most of the technical part of the program, and the mother-daughter team, Oie and Nya, are the voice of the business.

“Understanding the teen perspective is very important for this program, and it’s really empowering because they think different than us,” Oie said. “Parents and students are getting both perspectives in the program.” Students have a a weekly check-in with Nya, the accountability coach for the program. “I hold the students accountable and make sure they did everything they were suppose to do that week. I ask them how their group session went, how their self-reflection is going and what they discovered about themselves,” Nya said. SEE PROJECT WHO AM I, PAGE 11

LIFE SAVERS: Making a difference in patients’ lives FROM PAGE 1

a team. It does not matter what patch they wear or what agency they may work for, they all came together for a greater good.” Allina EMS Medical Director Dr. Joey Duren added, “Remember this case, put it in your mind. We get battered a little bit by what we all do as first responders and we forget sometimes the difference that we make. Sometimes these calls are an everyday occurrence for us, but for the patients it is a once-in-a-lifetime situation … I want you guys to hang on to that and remember what a difference you made for this family.” Mark’s wife Peggy thanked the fi rst responders. “After Mark’s heart attack, several people came up to me and said, ‘Wow, you saved his life’; and I kind of struggled with that because I didn’t save his life, we saved his life. I was very much aware of my small part of it,” she said. “On that morning, it is only by the grace of God that the stars aligned and this incredible team came together; that’s why Mark is here with us today. No words can express our gratitude. ‘Thank you’ seems so trivial. No amount of compensation could possibly be enough for giving Mark a second chance at life.” PHOTOS BY SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Centerville mothers Gina Schmittdiel and Erin Ribar met three years ago after being connected through the Down Syndrome Association (DSA) of Minnesota. Gina and her husband Brian have two children, a 4-year-old and soon-tobe 3-year-old Gunnar, who has Down syndrome. They are also in the process of adopting a newborn from the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network. Erin and her husband Matt have four children ages 7, 4, 2, and 7 months. Ben, their 2 1/2-year-old, has Down syndrome. “An employee from DSA reached out to me to let me know a new family had moved into town. I emailed Erin, we met for coffee and we have been hanging out ever since,” Schmittdiel said. In 2017 the mothers began attending a Down syndrome parent group in Blaine. The following year, the two stepped up to facilitate the group, which they are doing again this year with the help of Sana Kassab Soussi from Blaine. Because the location in Blaine was only 10 miles away from another sup-

to an ambulance. “Throughout this time, Kevin remained an active member of the rescue team — at one point, even giving up his own coat to help warm the patient. The patient was carried by rescuers and Kevin a significant distance down a trail to an area the ambulance could access,” Public Safety Director John Swenson explained. Kevin was able to provide critical information about the amount of time that the patient had been submerged in the water, as well as details of the event that aided the investigation. The patient was loaded into the ambulance and transported to a hospital, where he later recovered. “Mr. and Mrs. Kuznia’s quick decision to make the 911 call and jump into action to free the male as his condition quickly deteriorated played a key role in the patient’s survival and recovery,” Swenson said. A large public safety team made up of personnel from multiple agencies received Life Saving Awards for actions that actually saved one of Lino Lakes paid-on-call fi refighters, Mark Tembreull, who has been with the department since June 2015. “If it weren’t for this coordinated effort and this very quick response, I’m fearful that Mark wouldn’t be with us today,” Swenson said. Shortly after 5 a.m. on May 20, Peggy Tembreull was awakened when her husband Mark wasn’t breathing right. She immediately knew something was not right and called 911. The call was answered by Anoka County Communications Center. The dispatcher quickly entered the call and then transferred the caller to Allina EMS for pre-arrival instructions. The Allina dispatcher walked Peggy through what to do and how to administer CPR. It is believed that Mark went into cardiac arrest some time before the 911 call was made. Allina Ambulance and Lino Lakes Police were dispatched to the scene, along with Lino Lakes Fire, which requested a response from CLPD. CLPD and Lino officers provided basic life support until Allina EMS and Lino Fire arrived and started advanced life support. Mark was then transported to Regions Hospital. “This call for help started the chain of survival when the homeowner called 911,” Swenson explained. “Everyone was a crucial link in this chain. The patient is here today because of these dedicated individuals and their ability to work as

Residents of Willow Circle in Centerville and ﬁrst responders gather to celebrate Night to Unite.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Put equity back on agenda Week after week, I open the paper to read yet another letter to the editor about “critical race theory.” Never mind that Centennial’s equity efforts have nothing to do with critical race theory. Never mind that the school district has directly communicated that nothing the school board is considering involves critical race theory. Never mind that critical race theory is a body of advanced legal scholarship taught in some law school graduate programs that no elementary or secondary student has ever learned about in school. Some of these letters have asserted that this equity audit is “Communist,” “Marxist,” or “racist,” as if it is the starting point on a slippery slope that ends in some kind of social collapse.

I hope that people reading these letters can see them for what they are: attempts, either willful or ignorant, to misrepresent and distract from what is a noble and necessary effort to ensure that ALL students have the opportunity to succeed. These same inaccurate attacks on equity initiatives are happening in districts across the country, and are the product of highlyfunded political think-tanks and pundits. This is part of the manufactured politics of division, not a real situation and certainly not cause for any real concern. But here we are. The truth is that our school board was set to vote on authorizing an audit that would provide data about the experiences of students and staff, because decisions and planning should be based on data and not assumptions. That’s it. They

weren’t going to vote to make anyone’s child feel bad about themselves. They weren’t voting to teach critical race theory. They weren’t voting to allow anyone else to make decisions for our schools. Data is important for decision-making. Knowledge is important for decision-making. Hopefully this is what our children are learning in school. It’s time for the school board to model those basic tenets for our children. It’s time for the school board to put equity back on the agenda and to proceed with the plan to collect the information they need to make good decisions for our children. Emily Palmer Lino Lakes

Advice for aging

FEW WEEKS ago, Kathy and I were invited to a brewery in Woodbury to celebrate the life of Robert MacGregor Shaw. We got to know Bob and Virginia Shaw through the Minnesota Newspaper Association where he was manager. Having served on the board of directors of the association, we got to know them very well. Bob was born in 1922 in International Falls and died on Jan. 6, 2021. His son Robert arranged the tribute to his father. Robert is currently a reporter for the Pioneer Press. In his aging years, Bob wrote several books. The following is a summary from the “The Joys of Old Age.” “…old people will be called old people, not senior citizens. About the You will not encounter sugary phrases like ‘golden years,’ Town ‘glory road,’ or ‘silver’ to Gene Johnson describe old people. Nor will you find other euphemisms created by hucksters to sell hearing aids, cures for hair loss, or control of hemorrhoids. What you will find are reminders of the joy received from outwitting the Poltergeist (the dirty little demon who tampers with your memory) and stomping the wastebasket (both therapeutic and efficient!)” Another book he wrote is the “Bachelor Slob in the Kitchen.” Following are four points made in that humorous book: 1) Become independently wealthy. You’ll save some money, but not very much. 2) Become young, vigorous, loving, publicspirited, and kind to dogs and little children. 3) Enjoy the pangs associated with the nosweets-in-the-icebox rule and the no-booze-byyourself rule. 4) Improve your table manners. They will deteriorate as you discover the joys of eating with your fingers, drinking from the bottle, and eating right out of the frying pan. Bob loved newspapers, promoting freedom of the press and open meetings. He was a key part of the Minnesota Press Council in the 1970s which lasted about a decade. It was an opportunity for newspaper readers and TV listeners to challenge information presented and get a fair hearing and response. FROM THOMAS JEFFERSON, “If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed.” FOR THE BENEFIT of your community now and in the future, shop local, eat local, read local. GOOD BOATING FRIENDS and neighbors at the Fort Myers marina are Ed and Benia Grygent. They are live-aboards originally from New Jersey. This past summer they traveled 8,500 miles by car visiting the Midwest and Western United States. In their 29 state visit they found farms and ranches in southern Illinois, Iowa and southern Minnesota were very clean and well-groomed. No signs of trash. They noticed the cleanliness of areas beginning in western Pennsylvania. They observed the cars looked newer going west. They discovered that 95% of motorists drove reasonably and 5% were crazy. They averaged 51.2 miles per hour and their car provided 25.6 miles per gallon. TYLER GREGORY, EXECUTIVE Pastor of Eagle Brook Church, reported at the annual meeting that the ministry is at an all-time high and so was the financial generosity of those attending. In an unusual year, with Covid and so many restrictions, giving reached an all-time high of $52,907,228. Eagle Brook Church has 10 campuses allowing anyone living in the Twin Cities to be within 20 minutes of an Eagle Brook Church. During the last year, Eagle Brook reported 21,970 decisions to follow Jesus were made by those attending. 763 people were baptized. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

elow are things I’ve been up to in the last few months. I can’t list everything because of space limits but these things effect the Quad area. New Position: Last month I was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC), to represent District 10, (the seven-county metro). The AMC works closely with the legislative and administrative branches of government in Minnesota making sure legislation and policies favorable to counties are enacted. The AMC Legislator is a voluntary, non-partisan Lingo organization that has assisted Jeff Reinert Minnesota’s 87 counties since 1909. Budgeting: We are working on our budget for 2022 and implementing a different budgeting process called zero–base budgeting. I used this method in Lino Lakes when I was mayor. Basically, it doesn’t assume that dollars spent last year, need to be automatically spent in the new year. This causes everyone to think about what they really need to spend, instead of automatically budgeting the same amount of more for next year. Too soon to know how this will work at the county level, but I am confident we will find efficiencies. COVID: Operations are returning to normal. All meetings are in

person again and county staff are back from working remotely. My compliments to the quick response and professionalism of our Anoka County staff. They really stepped up when needed. As Chair of Human Services, it has been a heck of a year and am happy we are beginning to move on from COVID. Delta variant is still in the news and a concern but is not expected to disrupt our lives at the same level. Chomonix: As mayor of Lino Lakes in January 2019, I received notice Anoka County was considering closing Chomonix Golf Course. This, after 50 years and millions of dollars spent to develop it. They said it had begun to lose money. We only had one day notice for the Park Committee meeting, but I and others attended it to ask them to reconsider closing Chomonix. After some discussion, the County Board agreed to keep Chomonix open, but only for three years to evaluate whether to close it or not. I’m now vice-chair of the AC Parks Committee and we ﬁxed the real problem. After hiring new management and improving marketing efforts, everything changed quickly. Last year we saw record revenues and this year is beating last year. Last month, I made a motion to lift the three-year evaluation early, and the entire County Board agreed. I am happy to report that Chomonix is here to stay. Wave Pool: Bunker Beach Water Park is more popular than ever. Last year the park closed due to COVID. We used that down time to

complete a scheduled six-milliondollar renovation at the 25-year-old park. Since grand re-opening last May, we are having a record year. One reason may be water is now heated at a constant 80 degrees. Most days we don’t use the heater, but it helps in the spring and fall to keep activity and revenues up. www.BunkerBeach.com. Roads: We’re completing road projects throughout my district but in the Quad area, the biggest project is Birch Street, helping to solve a lot of problems, and especially trafﬁc in and out of Rice Lake Elementary. Next summer Lake Drive will be resurfaced and will include lowing the speed limit from 55 to 50 mph, helping with safer on and off axis. Another area I continue to work on is Centerville Road south of Birch street to add wider shoulders to add safer pedestrian and bike activity. Mountain Bike Trails: Anoka County has applied for and received grants to improve the Mountain Bike Trails that exist in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve. Work has begun and over the next couple years we will see these trails develop. Thank you for your continued support.

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com I can't say I liked the timing of the rain over the weekend but beggars can't be choosers. Rain totaled over an inch in my back yard over this weekend, with Saturday's morning rain delaying the Strive 10k along White Bear Lake. Despite the rain and thunder we actually had a nice number of walk-ups wanting to run, undeterred by the weather conditions. The smoke, which has been with us for about a month, cleared out on Monday and it was nice to see a blue sky. After the start of this week's heat, it looks like we'll enjoy some cooler temperatures.

AUGUST 10, 2021

QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS www.presspubs.com

PROJECT WHO AM I: Provides understanding of natural talents

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS • The city will continue to retain auditing services, after council at its July 28 meeting unanimously approved a three-year contract extension with Abdo, Eick & Meyers. City staff maintains high satisfaction with the fi rm, and will experience no cost increase for the fi rst year of the contract and only modest increases during the two additional years. The city will pay $ 32,300 for 2021, $ 33,000 for 2022 and $ 33,700 for 2023, using money from the General Fund and enterprise fund budgets. Council members suggested that when the new contract expires after 2023, the city extend Requests for Proposal to other auditing fi rms for the sake of openness and fairness. • Council tightened up its fi nancial housekeeping, after it transferred $ 948.21 from the Economic Development Authority (EDA) Fund to the General Fund to properly record the amount of cash in each fund. When the EDA bank account was established, staff used $1,000 from the General Fund to open the EDA account. The city's accounting fi rm, Abdo, Eick & Meyers, recommended that city staff seek council approval for those actions. • The city continues to pay its bills for street improvements, after it approved Request for Payment #10 in the amount of $121,721.34 to A-1 Contracting for Downtown Street and Utility Improvements. • The parcel at 7241 Main Street is headed toward being split into two lots, after council approved a Preliminary Plat for the property owner, John Peterson, to convert that land into two single-family homes, to be called “Peterson Shores”. • A new commercial enterprise is potentially coming to town, after council approved the Preliminary Plat, along with the accompanying public improvements for Sutton Transportation to be located in the Rehbein Industrial site at 2080 Fairview St. The plat is being completed to accommodate the development of a warehousing/crossdock facility for Sutton Transport. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, contingent on staff comments being addressed. The developer will pay water access, sewer access and park fees as appropriate. In the near future, expect council to approve the fi nal plat and enter into a developer's agreement for this project. • Both the city and developers will save substantial money for inspection of silt fences

on projects, after Council approved the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Erosion Control Inspection Pilot Program, as well as the execution of the Joint Powers Agreement. Due to duplication of effort for these inspections, the city paid its own inspector, as well as the RCWD inspector, for several years. Now, the RCWD will conduct those inspections and bill the city at $ 55 per hour. Formally, the city's consultant billed the city at $130 per hour. The result is a win-win, said City Administrator/Engineer Mark Statz. The city would pass on the cost of inspections to developers at a reduced rate, and the RCWD would enjoy increased revenues. • When it fi nally rains and the grass grows, the city has someone to mow it, after council, by a vote of 4-0 (Council Member Steve King abstaining), authorized the Public Works Department to enter into a contract with RJ's Property Maintenance for lawn mowing. Lawn services will cost $1,667 per week or $43,342 for the 26-week lawn mowing season during 2022-24. Lawn mowing expenses will be fi nanced through the Parks Maintenance portion of the General Fund. • Those catch basins on city streets will now be repaired, after council authorized city staff to execute a contract in the amount of $7,850 with CW Houle to repair the basins. The Public Works Department solicited quotes and receive three, of which the bid from CW Houle was the lowest. • The property at 7245 Cedar Ridge can now be fenced, after council approved an encroachment agreement for the fence.

“They get to hear what their peers have to say without their parents looking over their shoulder.” The program takes four to six weeks to complete and is based on four modules: discover the student’s natural talents, discover the student’s values, identify the student’s interests, and making it real. “We made it so that it’s not a big ordeal, but it has a lot of meat to it,” Oie said. Oie said the Project Who Am I program has received positive feedback so far. Students from Minnesota and around the country are participating. According to Oie, after the program is completed, students will walk away with: • An understanding of their natural talents and strengths and careers best suited for someone like them. • Knowledge of how their current interests and passions can be applied to their career search. • Insight into what they truly value in life and how to seek out occupations and employers that share in their values. • Their work preferences and how important they can be in overall career satisfaction. • A framework around how to evaluate new careers as their interests, values and preferences evolve with more knowledge and life experiences. • An action guide on how to further explore their career choices. According to Oie, throughout the program most parents develop a closer relationship with their student by mentoring them through this stressful, transitional time and achieve a peace of mind knowing their student is basing their educational and career choices on the right things. “Our program assumes that the parent is highly involved, because they are purchasing the program and facilitating the group session for their student,” Oie said. “We have facilitator guides to help the student and their parent(s) have a stronger relationship and connection.” For more information on Project Who Am I, go to projectwhoami.com.

Centennial Soccer Club completes a busy season

Little league team wins state

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial Soccer Club (CSC) recently completed a very active summer as the sport bounced back from last year’s limited season due to the pandemic. “We are up 42% at tryouts this year,” said Christa Carlson, coaching director. “And last year, during Covid, we had about the same numbers as the previous year, while a lot of other clubs went down.” The club had 13 teams competing in the Twin Cities Soccer League, and is on track to have 20 teams next summer, Carlson said. The rec program (kindergarten through fifth grade) had 250 kids. Two CSC teams were league champions: the U11 girls and U13 girls. The U11 girls also reached the finals in the USA Cup. The U13 girls reached the semifinals of the USA Cup, as did the U12 boys. The club has a mixture of volunteer coaches and professional staff, headed by Carlson, who is also the new coach of the high school girls team. “We are currently looking to fill open roster spots if any kids are interested,” said Carlson. Cougar varsity tryouts will start Aug. 16.

The Centennial football team in the last two weeks gave future Cougars a taste of the drills they’ll be running in high school at their annual Youth Football Camp. Two weeks ago, they hosted grades 6-8 for three days (actually the third day was this past

Monday due to extreme heat one evening). This past week, they hosted grades 2-3 in one group and grades 4-5 in another, each also for three nights. Varsity players supervised the drills under the direction of Coach Mike Diggins and his assistants.
