Blue Heron Days returns this weekend BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PLUBICATIONS
Temporary water park
LINO LAKES — The 14th annual Blue Heron Days festival is fast approaching. The popular family get-together will be Aug. 17-19 at various sites throughout Lino Lakes, mainly Lino Park. While many popular attractions remain this year, some new attractions have been added to the docket. Blue Heron Days was established in 2004 by a small group of area volunteers who desired to make the vision of a Lino Lakes community festival a reality. After extensively researching other festivals throughout the state, this dedicated group of volunteers paved the road in making Lino Lakes “the place to be” each year on the third weekend in August. The celebration is sure to offer something for everybody with traditions such as Family Movie Night, the Officer Shawn Silvera Memorial Run, Grand Parade, Quad Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and Art Fair and the Miss Lino Lakes Ambassador Coronation. Of course, the magic bounce inflatables, Kids Splash & Dash Dualthon, Spin Art, petting zoo and the Waldoch Farm Garden Tour/ Corn Feed will all be happening too. New this year, The Tavern on Main will host a craft beer and specialty food stand on site in Lino Park Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. See the full article in this week's Quad Community Press. The band A Girl's Journey will perform
Children take delight in the cooling mist of water created by Lino Lakes firefighter Sean Mooney during the Night to Unite gathering at Birch Park Tuesday, Aug. 7. See more photos on page 22.

Lovell site redevelopment moving forward JOHN JUNGBAUER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LEXINGTON — Redevelopment of what was once city hall, a school and home to many businesses was recently once again in front of a city advisory board. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to take public comments on the proposed site plans and land use requests from Dominium Acquisitions, LLC for the Lovell building redevelopment project, located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Lovell Road. A few residents attended the meeting to ask questions about the proposal
and share their concerns. The Landings of Lexington is proposed to include a 180-unit apartment complex. What was originally brought forward as a retirement community is now being proposed as affordable housing instead. This change stems from Dominium’s analysis of the costs and potential revenue of the project and determining that the change in occupancy was necessary to maintain profitability moving forward. The demolition of the current buildings comes at a high cost, representatives said, due to the age of the structure and the removal of asbestos and old piping.

City Attorney Kurt Glaser addressed the commission and voiced his support for the requested variances. He noted the city would benefit from the influx of residents, but while it has a vested interest in the project, concerns from citizens are and will continue to be taken into consideration. Resident Darren Johnson owns property that will neighbor the apartment grounds. He raised the issue of increased traffic on an already busy intersection (Lexington Avenue and Lake Drive) and what plans are in place

Dear vaccine developers
M
y husband, who is in his 30s, was diagnosed with shingles recently — an ailment that stereotypically affects golden-agers. When I went to CVS Pharmacy that day, I happened to see an ad for the Shingrix vaccine on the counter. I had a nice chat with the pharmacist — I learned her friend in her 20s also recently had shingles and that the vaccine is not prescribed for people under age 50. I also learned that the Shingrix vaccine was on back order due to popularity. Witnessing the blistering rash that resembled third-degree burns, phantasmic needles pricking the skin and nerve pain running up and down the body, I could see why any person fully aware of the Story effects of the virus would get the shingles vaccine. Chaser Shingles is a reactivation of the Sara Marie Moore chicken pox (varicella zoster) virus, which lies dormant in the nerves of basically everyone who has had chicken pox. It can be reactivated for a variety of reasons. Shingles isn’t contagious but it can give someone chickenpox who has not had it before. Shingles affects older people more often as their immunity naturally declines with age. Hence why vaccine developers tested the vaccine on older people. GSK developed the Shingrix vaccine, which succeeded Merck & Co’s Zostavax as the more effective vaccine recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017. GSK tested the vaccine on people age 50 and older to combat the age-related immunity decline that can cause shingles, according to its website. It was shown to be 90 percent effective. That’s awesome — if you’re over 50. The Gen X and Millenial generations are perhaps at an increased risk of contracting shingles earlier in life due to another successful vaccine — the chicken pox vaccine. While it has almost wiped out the childhood disease among Gen Z and beyond, young adults who had chicken pox as children are no longer exposed to the virus. Some doctors theorize that means their immune system has less opportunity to get a boost against the virus. Immune cells that remember the virus die off with time. Studies in the 1960s by British epidemiologist Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson concluded those who were repeatedly exposed to the virus were less prone to reactivation, according to an article published by Maclean’s. Who is going to make a shingles vaccine that can be prescribed to people under age 50? I contacted GSK to ask if they have any plans for developing a shingles vaccine for those under 50. Crickets — no response. I’ve heard quite a few people question whether the price tag on the vaccine is worth it since it is not covered by all insurances. It costs about $300 out-of-pocket. If I could, I’d be lining up for the vaccine, doing whatever I could to pay for it. Plus, it’s going to cost more than $300 in doctor visits, medicine and comfort care if you get shingles. One in three Americans gets shingles; one million people each year. Shingles affects one area of your body on one side, depending on where it was reactivated in your nervous system. Thankfully, my husband had it on his back and leg. When it is reactivated in the cranial nerve, it can cause damage to the eye. Wherever it shows up, it can also cause postherpetic neuralgia, chronic nerve pain that can last years. Oh, to be 50. Not. What I really want is a shingles vaccine for the generations sandwiched between those who can get the shingles vaccine and those who received the chicken pox vaccine (and are therefore generally protected from shingles, as well). Please keep me posted, GSK. Or maybe Merck & Co. has something new up its sleeve. I know this is a first-world problem and I appreciate all you both do to mitigate so many diseases.

Man’s best friend the source of local injuries
O
ne of the most common causes of injuries we see at The Urgency Room is something you might not suspect: dogs. Almost every single day doctors at our UR locations treat a dog injury. Recently I treated a man whose fingers were barely hanging on after his dog took off for a rabbit while the leash was wrapped around his hand. patient broke Movers and The both his pinkie and index finger Shakers and tore tendons. The injuries were Dr. Carolyn extensive. McClain Dog-related injuries are very common this time of year as are misconceptions about treatment. Here are important tips about dog injuries and warnings for dog owners: • Our doctors see broken arms and legs when dogs run in front of children and adults who suddenly fall. • We see lots of bites from owners trying to break up a fight between dogs. • When a dog bites, it’s typically the fi rst time and it doesn’t matter the size or breed of dog. We see bites from labs and small dogs.
Dog-related injuries are very common this time of year as are misconceptions about treatment. • Children are often injured when parents aren’t watching and the child puts his or her fi ngers in the dog’s face or near its eyes. • If you are bitten by a dog, you must see a doctor. Dog bites almost always get infected and patients need to be seen and put on antibiotic. • Do not expect the doctor to close a dog bite wound. These bites are wrapped and closed a couple days later so infection isn’t trapped. • Dog bites on the face are the only wounds that get closed right away and typically have to be closed again or repaired by a plastic surgeon. • Doctors at The Urgency Room are required to report dog bites in certain cities. Know your ordinances and be vigilant about your dog. • We often see bites to children who pet a dog without the owner or their parent knowing. • Cat bites are nothing to shrug off. If you are bit by a cat, you need to go to the doctor immediately, not the next morning. Cat

Don’t just follow the crowd on ‘crowdfunding’ websites
P
eople hear on the news that someone in their community has lost her home in a ďŹ re or a spouse to an illness. They want to help, so search the internet and ďŹ nd several social media pages that claim to be raising money for the victim. They donate through a particular page, but later ďŹ nd out that the person running it kept the money and did not pass it along to the victim of the tragedy. For example: • In 2016, a Minnesota woman pleaded guilty to stealing more than $20,000 that she had raised online to help the families of three drowning victims. • In 2018, a Minnesota woman was charged with theft for crowdfunding thousands of dollars for a man who suffered a death in his family, but keeping the money for herself. • In 2017, an Oklahoma woman was sentenced to prison for fundraising thousands of dollars online by pretending her child had cancer. Following a few simple rules can help people avoid such scams when donating through online
‘crowdfunding’ platforms. What is Crowdfunding? “Crowdfundingâ€? generally means raising donations from a large number of people. It is done online, through websites like GoFundMe, and social media sites like Facebook. Crowdfunding campaigns are frequently run by Movers and one person or a small group of people from Shakers the local community. Some crowdfunding Lori Swanson pages claim to help a speciďŹ c person, while others ask for donations for particular charities. What do I need to know about crowdfunding? Many, but not all, crowdfunding pages are legitimate. Bad actors sometimes try to take advantage of people’s generosity by keeping donations for themselves. Even with legitimate campaigns, a portion of

stead of through a crowdfunding page. • Donating smartly: Be wary of charities that spring up overnight in the wake of a disaster or tragedy, that have names that sound like wellknown charities, or that otherwise raise red ags. If there is reason to suspect a charity might not be legitimate, contact the Minnesota Attorney General’s OfďŹ ce before donating. Where do I go for more information? The Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance and Consumer Reports publish information and tips on crowdfunding on their websites, www.give.org and www. consumerreports.org. Donors may also contact the Minnesota Attorney General’s OfďŹ ce for more information about crowdfunding, to research charities on the OfďŹ ce’s website, or to ďŹ le a complaint: (651) 296-3353 (Twin Cities Calling Area); (800) 657-3787 (Outside the Twin Cities); or www. ag.state.mn.us.
a donation may go to the website, instead of the charity or person in need, because the website takes a “cutâ€? of the donation by charging a fee. Not every crowdfunding donation is tax deductible either. For example, donations to a speciďŹ c person are generally not tax deductible. How do I protect myself? • Before donating: Research the organizer of the crowdfunding campaign, the cause and how the money will be used. Do public facts support the organizer’s claims? Will the website charge a fee? How will the organizer handle and safeguard donations? • Donating to help a speciďŹ c person: If you are donating to people you don’t know, look for speciďŹ c information about the situation that can be veriďŹ ed. • Donating to an organization: Donors should look for charities they already know and trust. To be sure that your money is going where you want it to go (and to minimize the chance of any extra fees being taken from your donation), consider donating directly through that charity’s own website, in-

TITLEIST | SUBMITTED
You can order Titleist wedges in different loft and bounce combinations. The most common in the midwest is 56 degrees of loft with 10 degrees bounce.
hardest part of using the traditional bunker method. The swing is a very narrow swing, which means the elbows stay soft and the hands remain close to the body. You’re essentially picking up the clubhead with your wrists and hands, while keeping your hands close to your waist. This shot is way more wrists and hands than arms. The goal is to add speed on the clubhead end without adding speed on the grip end. It should feel like snapping a towel. Your right elbow slides back along your side as you turn your hips. Remember, you need to keep your weight on the left side during the backswing. From there, you simply throw the clubhead down and allow the bounce of the club to slide through the sand to get the ball up and out. You enter the sand anywhere from 1-2 inches behind the ball. This will depend on what type of sand you’re in, and how far you want the ball to travel. After impact, the right palm is still facing up towards the sky. Finish with your chest facing the target, up on your right toe. Hitting down on it with speed is what makes the ball go up in the air. To hit a high shot with a lot of spin, simply hit closer to the ball with more acceleration. If you have a longer bunker shot, you simply add more arm swing, or hit a 52 degree wedge instead of a 56 or 58. The one mistake I see players make is this – they pull with the grip end instead of throwing the clubhead through the sand. That shot is not coming out of the bunker. You have to let the bounce of the sand wedge work its magic and I think this method is by far the easiest way to do just that. So the keys to hitting this version of the
greenside bunker are correct set up — soft hands and elbows — swing is more wrist action than arms, which makes the swing a lot steeper— clubface slides under the ball, using the bounce to enter the sand fi rst—finish with your chest facing the target, up on your right toe. The best way to practice is by drawing a line in the sand about 1 inch behind the ball. Lay the bounce of the club on that line. Make the swing, and see where the club entered the sand. If it’s behind that line, you’re not swinging down steeply enough. Keep practicing, and you’ll get it. Unless you are playing in a league, I would draw that line and lay your club in it every time until you can execute this shot on demand. I highly recommend using a specific sand wedge, as opposed to a sand wedge that is part of your set. With Titleist Vokey wedges, you can specify the degree of loft and the bounce you prefer. For fi rm sand (which is what you find most often in the Midwest) you want less bounce (around 10). For soft, fluffy sand (which you find in Florida and at high end courses everywhere) you are better off with more bounce (around 14). If you don’t want to order a new one, check with Second Swing. They usually have a pretty good selection to choose from. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years.

LANDINGS OF LEXINGTON: Developer requests fl exibility for apartment complex FROM PAGE 1
for this. He also brought up how the property is proposed to be separated from land owned by current residents. In response to the traffic concerns, Dominium representatives said the proposed structure itself has been remodeled with the purpose of locating the complex entrance as far from the intersection as possible. This will also allow for construction of a turn lane into the entrance.
City Adminstrator Bill Petracek said and county officials won’t be able to determine what, if any, changes will be necessary to accommodate new traffi c generated by the development until the project is completed and can see the effects it has upon the intersection. Dominium representatives will also discuss with the property owners their options for the perimeter of the grounds. A soft landscape is what is proposed at this time, but fencing around the property could be another
option. Dominium is asking for the following land requests, which would allow the development to be constructed as proposed: • A planned unit development and conditional use permit, which would allow Dominium to vary from Lexington’s current zoning regulations in various areas, including unit/acre density, front and rear building setbacks, parking density and height requirements. • A replat of two properties to be combined into one
property. Dominium has also purchased the lot abutting the Lovell property directly north on Lexington Avenue. • A rezone of the combined properties from B-1 and R-1 to M-1. This zoning designation would allow the apartment complex to entertain the option of using the common space as a possible income-producing space in the future if the developer so chooses. There are currently no plans for any such shops, but the rezoning is intended to avoid
going through the process at a later date. • An amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to accommodate the proposed 180-unit apartment complex. Glaser will now prepare the necessary legal documents and bring them forward to the City Council at its Aug. 16 meeting for consideration. The legal documents pertain to Dominium’s four land use requests. Any questions or concerns about the project can be directed to City Administrator Bill Petracek.

Grand marshal encourages others to ‘do the right thing’ This year will be Fitzpatrick’s second serving as the race director for the Shawn Silvera Rotary Run. As a runner and a strong believer in giving back, Fitzpatrick stepped up to fill the role. “I see it as a great congruence of community spirit; working with the Lino Lakes Police, the city of Lino Lakes, the YMCA of Lino Lakes, the Silvera family, the Chain of Lakes Rotary … we are the convergence of community leaders.” Fitzpatrick and his wife Pamela have been married for 35 years and have four children. While his children were growing up, Fitzpatrick could often be spotted coaching soccer and basketball. “I bet I coached over 1,000 soccer games,” he recalled. He also used to be very involved with his church, Our Savior’s Lutheran in Circle Pines, and the Big Brother Big Sister organization. “When somebody

LINO LAKES — Attendees at this year’s Blue Heron Days parade will see a familiar face on one of the floats. Kevin Fitzpatrick was selected as the grand marshal for his volunteerism. Fitzpatrick has lived in Lino Lakes for 24 years and has made many contacts through his numerous years of volunteering both in and outside of the community. “Kevin is dedicated to improving our community through his high-energy volunteerism. He continues to be a strong advocate for Rotary and looks for ways to leverage the Rotary mission to improve our community and communities around us as well,” said Director of Public Safety and Rotarian John Swenson. “He will be a great grand marshal, and it is much deserved.” Since the city doesn’t have a specific committee dedicated to Blue Heron Days, the city administrator along with department heads review the nominations and ultimately decide who is worthy of the title each year. Fitzpatrick grew up in White Bear Lake. He graduated from two high schools in 1978, White Bear Lake Mariner and Nagasaki Minami High School in Japan, where he was a Rotary exchange student. For 18 years, Fitzpatrick has been an entrepreneur: he owns his own educational software consultancy called Fitzpatrick Translational Science. As company president, he serves as a consultant who builds online health tools for large biopharmaceutical and medical organizations. Parks and Recreation intern Ashley Nelson explained Fitzpatrick was nominated for grand marshal because of his involvement in a variety of community projects: Rotary, the Shawn Silvera

Rotary Run and as a youth sports coach in the community for many years. Although Fitzpatrick was a Rotary exchange students all those years ago, he really didn’t become involved in the local Rotary, the Chain of Lakes Rotary, until four years ago. He currently holds the title of past president. “Five years ago I had a life-defining moment. My company collapsed. I was fired from the company I founded and I reincorporated. I decided that I was going to be a happier person,” he explained. “I decided to get involved with the Rotary, because I had always wanted to and my kids were starting to get older. My business became very successful and it all converged into an opportunity to get very involved in public service and Rotary. Sometimes it takes a life-defining moment to do something like that.”

needs help, I help if I can,” he said. Fitzpatrick recently volunteered with fellow Rotary members to help with a playground build at Rice Lake Elementary School. Although he is slightly embarrassed about all of the attention, Fitzpatrick is hopeful his reign of grand marshal will encourage others to volunteer. “I want to encourage people to step up and volunteer. Only 35 percent of Minnesotans volunteer,” he said. “If people want to get involved and do the right thing by volunteering, there are so many opportunities for people. Check with your local police and fire departments, churches, Rotary Club, Lions Club … We all need help.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Fun at Blue Heron Days for adults, too BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
LINO LAKES — Blue Heron Days has always been a fun time for kids, but this year organizers are hoping to make the festival a little bit more enjoyable for adults, too. Thanks to a new city ordinance, The Tavern on Main will now be able to operate a craft beer and food stand, permitted in Lino Park during Blue Heron Days. “There are plenty of moms and dads there with their kids who want to jump and play all day, and we thought this would be a good spot to offer some things to the adults and also be able to showcase a few of our menu items,” said Assistant General Manager Megan Causey. Chad Wagner, who has owned The Tavern on Main for 18 years, started holding an outdoor concert at the bar and grill back in 2003. In 2004, he got together with some other businesspeople and community members to discuss starting Blue Heron Days with the city. Up until 2016, the tavern continued to host the

outdoor concert and tried to be involved with the festival by hosting a popular patio party. This year the Tavern wanted to do a bit more. “We want to offer something different that will maybe keep people there for a little while so they can participate in all the fun stuff going on,” Causey explained. Last fall, staff from the Tavern approached the city about the possibility of doing a craft beer stand in the park during the festival. After numerous discussions on the topic, the City Council agreed to give the stand a try and amended city code to temporarily allow the sale of craft beer in Lino Park during Blue Heron Days. “The Blue Heron Days event has been a nice event over the years, but the addition of craft beers in the park will allow parents the chance to enjoy the event for a longer period of time,” said Recreation Supervisor Brian Hronski. “Keeping more adults and kids in the park will help make the festivities even bigger and better than ever.” The stand will operate from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18. In addition to four to five craft beers for adults, there will also be root beer floats for the kiddos. Visitors to Lino Park can also get a taste of the Tavern, as customer favorite house-smoked brisket sliders, pulled pork sandwiches and spinach artichoke dip will also be available. “This way people can sample our stuff over there and then walk two blocks down the street to get it anytime,” Causey said. “We thought this would be a good opportunity to catch some of the people who haven't tried our food yet. If we can get one of our menu items in their hands and they love it, they are going to be more likely to make their way down the street and join us another time. Eighty percent of our business is regular, repeat customers that are here because they love the food.” In addition to the stand, the Tavern will also have a presence at the parade and host a tailgate party Saturday afternoon to get people excited about the upcoming Vikings season. The event will feature live outdoor music, patio games, food and drink specials and giveaways.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES
SUBMITTED
An architect rendering of a senior living facility proposed by Lyngblomsten. The proposed development would include a senior living campus with a continuum of care, located on the northwest corner of CSAH49/Hodgson Road and CSAH 32/Ash Street/ County Road J in Lino Lakes.
The Lino Lakes City Council discussed the following items at its Aug. 6 work session: • Reviewed a planned unit development concept plan proposed by Lyngblomsten. The proposed development would be a senior living campus with a continuum of care, located at the northwest corner of CSAH49/Hodgson Road and CSAH 32/Ash Street/ County Road J. The campus will include a restaurant and a mix of 30 detached townhomes in addition to 200 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care/enhanced care suites.
The applicant intends to purchase the 17.18 acres of property owned by R.L. Co. LLC and is considering acquisition of the adjacent liquor store, insurance buildings and former 49 Club. The site plan as currently configured only includes development on the 17-acre R.L. Co. site. The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the request at its July 11 meeting and was supportive of the concept plan. The board indicated a desire to preserve the existing quality vegetation as a buffer to the north and west if possible and add new landscaping
to buffer this use from the existing homes. While it was not a public hearing, the board did take public testimony about the concept. Generally, residents noted that this concept is an improvement over previous proposals. However, there were some traffic concerns and concerns about the number of units proposed. The next step in the process will be a traffic study. • Discussed a social media policy. The council previously reviewed a draft social media policy to replace its current policy on March 5. Following the
meeting, City Administrator Jeff Karlson explained that Councilman Dale Stoesz sent other revisions to the policy, which were incorporated. • City Clerk Julie Bartell gave the council an election update. In addition to explaining the city's polling places and precincts, Bartell gave a demonstration of electronic tablets that will be used to replace the paper rosters at polling locations this year. The tablets will streamline the voter check-in process and were purchased by the county and provided to municipalities under the terms of an administrative agreement.
• Public Safety Director John Swenson explained his department had one resignation effective Aug. 28, meaning the department once again will not be fully staffed. • Set a special budget meeting for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 22. The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27, at City Hall. There will also be a work session immediately beforehand at 6 p.m. in the Community Room. Shannon Granholm
CENTENNIAL SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Centennial Lakes Police Department took the following action at its July 23 meeting: • Accepted a check from the Chain of Lakes Rotary in the amount of $5,000 for Centennial High School's Angel Fund. The money was raised at the rotary's Chain of Giving event in April at Infinite Campus. • Entered into a closed session to perform Superintendent Brian Dietz's evaluation. School Board Chair Suzy Guthmueller reconvened the meeting and read a statement about Dietz, which read in part, “After five years in the district, Brian has made an imprint on Centennial in many positive ways. Brian is proactive and prepared, always thinking ahead. He is involved in the schools and community, visible and communicates well. He is an astute, perceptive and innovative and compassionate leader. His personal character and integrity is impeccable. He is intelligent and caring, always taking the high road. He is consistent and focuses on following through with the plan.” • Dietz highlighted the positive enrollment numbers for the district. “Going back to my first year here ... we had the state demographer out here and she talked about our journey and what that would look like over the next 10 years. We were supposed to have 500 less students by the end of last year and another 250-300 students less for the next five years,” he said. “I am proud to tell you that that hasn't happened at all. We have seen an increase every year in open enrollment and even had to close some grade levels. That's a great problem to have.” • Approved the consent agenda, which included June 11 meeting minutes, monthly disbursements, personnel (retirements, resignations, employments, change in employments) and gifts to the district. • Approved the Long-term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) Revenue Plan. The school board is required to annually update the LTFM, which levies the maximum LTFM funding and maxi-

Question No. 2 is a capital question at $22,215,000 to address safety and security at the high school campus by building a hallway between the east and west buildings, renovating the hockey arena, replacing lighting and sound systems in the Performing Arts Center and the middle school auditorium, and upgrading outdated security and technology. Question No. 1 must pass in order for question No. 2 to pass. Look for more information about this topic in a future issue of the Quad Community Press. • Approved a Technology and Information Educational Services (TIES) resolution for member districts approving the reorganization. In January, the TIES board voted in favor of dissolving TIES and authorized its executive committee to pursue potential business opportunities. As part of the reorganization, Sourcewell will assume TIES operating expenses and
debts incurred after July. • Approved Superintendent Bran Dietz's contract for 2019-22. Human Resources Director Dan Melde explained the contract includes a salary increase of 1.9 percent each year of the contract, which is below the 2.2 percent that was settled within other contracts. • Approved the Director of Alternative Learning Nicholas Christensen's Contract. Melde explained that the contract is for both the 2018-19 school year and the 2019-2020 school year, and includes a 2.2 percent increase for both years of the contract in alignment with other settled contracts. The contract also includes a 2.06 percent increase in health insurance for the first year and a 2 percent increase in the second year. • Approved the second reading and adopted Policy No. 515, dealing with protection and privacy of pupil records, and Policy No. 620, addressing credit for learning. The first reading of both policies were held at the June 11 school board meeting. In an effort to protect the safety and security of students, the district is proposing to change the “directory
information” section of the policy. The changes provide the school district greater governance over who can receive directory information involving students and what information will be provided. In particular, the changes prohibit outside entities from directly contacting students via personal phone, mail or email. The proposed changes to policy 620 are to reflect recent changes to the weighting of grades for high school students taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses, College in the Schools (CIS) courses and select Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses. Previously, only students earning a grade of “C” or higher in these courses qualifi ed for a weighted grade calculation. With the change, grade weighting would include any “passing grade.” The next school board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17, at the District Office. There will be a work study session at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 10. Shannon Granholm

Smoke from the wildfires in Canada are the only real item to talk about this week. Besides providing spectacular colorful sunsets, the high haze probably kept the high temperatures down a couple degrees. Otherwise, it’s been hot and dry. A break in heat was expected this week and we’re setting up for a nice weekend. I fought the crabgrass and the crabgrass won. My yard has been run over with crabgrass, yours? Astro note: Mars continues to dazzle after sunset, look south.

Centerville businesswoman helps others get organized BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
CENTERVILLE — Not everyone has the skill to be organized, but one local speaker and businesswoman says she can help. “I see the opportunity to change and I just want to share it. At the end of the day, I just love fi xing problems. I love knowing that there is a solution and that I can help,” said Jan Lehman, owner of CTC Productivity. Lehman has lived in Centerville for five years and is originally from Illinois. She attended the University of Indiana to pursue operations and systems management. After graduating she went to work with Excenture Business Solutions, a large management/consultant fi rm. After four years with Excenture, she moved on to begin her 13-year career with Kraft Foods. Her very last position with them, which she described as “the best times of my life,” was when she relocated to work at a division in Stockholm, Sweden for 2.5 years. She then became a stay-at-home mom for five
years. After her kids got older, she started thinking about her career again. “As I was starting to think about how I wanted to get back into the workforce, I decided I wanted to start my own business,” she recalled. “I had a lot of great training, so I already had the knowledge to start the business, it was just a matter of figuring out how to grow it.” Lehman got the idea for her business after she started spending time with a lot of unorganized mothers. “They really struggled with organization and that to me is just such a funny thing,” she said. What started off part time has now become full time. Nine years ago she created a home-organizing business called Can the Clutter in Oregon, but the business name and scope eventually changed. “I was really trying to get back to what I had done before. I just knew that there is always a better way to do things,” she said. “I don't have a lot of skills, but that is the one skill I do have. I seek efficiency opportunities.” Eventually the business grew to include business organization. “We provide a holistic approach to helping individuals be organized and productive both at home and work. CTC is really about circling the customer in all areas of their life for stress reduction and efficiency,” she explained. “If you have anybody who is feeling overwhelmed or feels like they are in a dysfunctional environment of some sort, we can help, because something is wrong.” Up until two years ago, Lehman ran both the business in both Oregon and Minnesota. She eventually decided to close the Oregon location, as she said she didn't have anyone who could successfully market the business there. In January, Lehman was selected as a Women
