Tense moments in Council Chambers BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Fun for all ages of Blue Heron Days
LINO LAKES—A discussion on the 2018 street reconstruction project ended with a resident walking out of the Council Chambers mid conversation at the Aug. 14 meeting. The item on the agenda, which the council approved, was to authorize the plans and specifications for the reconstruction projects in the West Shadow Lake and LaMotte neighborhoods. WSB & Associates submitted a proposal to provide preparation of plans and specifications in the amount of $506,220. The proposal includes preliminary design services, final design services, right of way/ easement acquisition services and public involvement and communication. The City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report on the projects Jan. 9, which was presented to the council at a May work session. The council then held a public hearing, adopted a resolution approving the fiveyear reconstruction plan (2017–2021) and authorized the issuance of $5,124,000 in general obligation bonds at its meeting on June 17. Resident Mike Trehus, who lives on Shadow Court, visited the council at its May work session to express concerns he had in particular with the West Shadow project. He returned to the August meeting to ask City Engineer Diane Hankee specific design questions. “This is something that is 28 years in the making,” Mayor Jeff Reinert said. “I think

More than Pink: 'Be strong. Be bold. Be smart.' BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Middle school can be a tough time for many youth, especially girls. A new program this year aims to make that transition a bit easier while inspiring girls to be comfortable in their own skin. Centennial Community Education offered the More than Pink program from June 20 through Aug. 9, and a total of 32 girls who are entering grades 5–6 participated. The program is designed to inspire girls to stay true to them-
selves and live free from societal stereotypes, through lessons that empower girls to celebrate their bodies, honor and embrace their personalities, all while training to run a 5K. “We want them to 'Be strong. Be bold. Be smart',” Community Education Director Cori Sendle said of the program’s tagline. “It is a self-confidence, be happy in your own skin, you are you and you are special. The idea with the 5K is doing something they have never done before. Starting from nothing and building up to the run allows
them to have this big accomplishment at the end.” The program covered many topics including friendship, bullying, healthy relationships, nutrition, respect, budgeting, safety and fitness. For nearly every topic, guest speakers gave presentations and completed interactive activities with the girls. Some of the guest speakers included Affinity Credit Union, Alexandra House, Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors, YMCA, Lino Lakes Police Department and SEE MORE THAN PINK, PAGE 11

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Aug.14 meeting: • Heard from Jim Woodruff regarding this year’s Patriot Ride. He reported there were 5,136 riders compared to last year’s 4,200 riders and an estimated 12,000 people were at the Key Air facility in Blaine. Woodruff also presented the council with a $500 donation to the public safety department, as a thank you for the department’s assistance with traffic control. Woodruff said according to preliminary numbers, the 12th annual event raised $250,000 for multiple charities. • Approved a consent agenda, which included expenditures, July 24 work session and council meeting minutes, July 31 work session minutes, special event permit for Waldoch Farm, Inc. for a pumpkin patch and corn maze (Septs. 23–Oct.31) and an offsite gambling permit for a Centennial High School Football Boosters raffle Sept. 24 at Chomonix Golf Course. • Approved the hiring of paid-on-call firefighter Jonathan Stalker at Station 2 effective Sept. 3. Stalker has five years of firefighting experience and currently works for Centennial Fire District. • Approved the first reading of an ordinance relating to the rezoning from R-X (Rural Executive) to GB (General Business) for the All Seasons Rental property addition. All Seasons Rental, owned by Scott and Shelly Carlson, is located at 7932 Lake Drive. The Carlsons have purchased the vacant commercial parcel to the south with the intent of adding a new 7,740 square-foot facility. The west half of the existing parcel is zoned GB and the east half is zoned R-X. City Planner Katie Larsen said city staff is not exactly sure why the parcel was zoned that way, but this rezoning will allow for consistency throughout the parcel. The council also approved a preliminary plat and conditional use permit for the new addition. The conditional use permit is for both commercial planned unit development and small engine repair. Read more about the expansion in an upcoming issue of the Quad Community Press. • Authorized the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2018 street reconstruction project in the West Shadow Lake and LaMotte neighborhoods. WSB & Associates submitted a proposal to provide preparation of plans and specifications in the amount of $506,220. The proposal includes preliminary design services, final design services, right of way/easement acquisition services and public involvement and communication. For more information read the story in this week’s issue of the Quad Community Press.

Public Safety Director John Swenson accepts a $500 donation to the public safety department from Jim Woodruff, representing the Patriot Ride. Each year the Patriot Ride tries to give donations to local police departments who assist with the event by directing traffic.
• Accepted the Natural Resource Revolving Fund Plan (NRRFP) report prepared by WSB & Associates. City staff began evaluating the possible restoration of an existing wetland complex in Wollan Park in 2009. During the initial investigation, it was determined that the restoration efforts would be eligible for wetland banking credits. The process of wetland banking allows the city to restore and/ or create wetland and sell credits through the state wetland bank. The recently completed Wollan Park wetland bank will provide approximately 5.96 acres of Army Corps of Engineers certified bank credits. In addition to Wollan Park the city previously established a wetland bank along Otter Lake Road that was completed in 2013. The City Council authorized preparation of the NRRFP in January 2017, which included goals such as creating a self-funded,
high-value greenway system in support of the Comprehensive Plan, promoting economic enhancement and development, establishing a wetland bank and ensuring opportunities for replacement of wetland impacts from both private development and public projects within the city. The report includes: site selection criteria for new wetland banks, identification of six wetland banks locations for consideration to be included in program, a pricing strategy for the sale of wetland credits and a disbursement procedure for use of sale credits. The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 28 in the Council Chambers at City Hall. There will be a work session immediately beforehand at 6 p.m. in the Community Room.

Passwords and security
W
e have all heard the theory for cyber security that we need to change our passwords every 30 days. For years I have been burdened with logins and passwords for work software, banking, cell phones, security systems, on line periodical subscriptions, streaming music services, the kids’ report cards and even bike locks, just to name a few. It would seem impossible for anyone to remember unique passwords for every account and service that requires one, which is probably why the most common password is still 123456. Recently I read a column in the Wall Street Journal about how password rules have changed. Publisher’s the Over the past several years, the recommendation has been that View passwords needed to be more Carter Johnson than eight characters and include both upper and lower case letters, numbers and a symbol. The new recommendation is longer phrases or words, and it comes from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Their studies show that a password of four random words is more difficult for hackers to crack than a shorter collection of eight random letters, numbers and symbols. It’s a good reminder and a relief for the next time we are asked to create or change a password.
Summer vacation Our goal was to find simplicity within half a day’s drive; something walkable, charming, kid-friendly and affordable. Summer was nearly over and we hadn’t taken a family vacation so we settled on Door County, Wisconsin. Amy called a friend, Lisa Coy, who has visited Door County several times, for recommendations on where to stay and what to do. We found many hotels were booked, and landed at the Landmark Resort in Egg Harbor. The standard room was perfect for our family- a one-bedroom suite with a pullout couch in the living area, full kitchen, and reasonably-priced. The resort is up high overlooking Green Bay. It has indoor and outdoor pools, an indoor hot tub and activities such as tennis, basketball, and shuffleboard. Our agenda the first day included a stop at The Farm outside of Sturgeon Bay, where we fed baby goats from bottles and interacted with farm animals like cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, horses and kittens. Dinner was at Fred and Fuzzy’s, known for fish and chips and cherry margaritas. The kids had a blast skipping rocks at this relaxed waterfront restaurant with a beach bar vibe. It was fun sitting next to Sam Kane who had just proposed to Jennie Secora on the dock. A game of mini-golf followed at The Red Putter were Amy won a free game with a hole-in-one on number 6. The next day we spotted goats on the roof of Al Johnson’s Swedish restaurant in Sister Bay. The lines were long but we grabbed a spot at the counter and enjoyed traditional Swedish pancakes accompanied by Swedish meatballs. We toured Peninsula State Park and played for hours at the beach. We wished we had a trailer to camp and our bikes to explore the lighthouse and cliffs at the park. We went into town for pizza at the Red Tomato and drove back into the park that evening for a performance of the Northern Sky Theater in the outdoor amphitheater. The third day’s adventure began with lunch at PC Junction, an old train-themed restaurant where your food is served by a LGB model train. As we departed town, we took a chance at cliff-jumping into Lake Michigan at Cave Point Park (this was my highlight, as it was exhilarating, free and tuckered out the kids for the five-hour drive home). Overall, our short time in Door County was fun and fit the bill for our family’s summer trip.
True community leadership
A
s a community leader I’ve worked hard to understand my role. I get paid $4,500 per year as the Mayor of Circle Pines to provide leadership and to positively represent the best values and dreams of my community. Our city administrator makes a good full-time salary to run the day-to-day operations, directing a team of talented city staff who make Circle a special Movers and Pines community. As I look back Shakers on my many experiences in public Dave life I realize I’ve Bartholomay worked with a varied group of elected officials. The good ones (conservative or liberal) shared a true passion for service and for working with others to build a better community. On the other hand, the bad ones were often all about themselves and tended to polarize the community with their nasty and destructive behavior. I’d like to share with you what I have seen as common characteristics among those who successfully work with others to improve their communities. Good leaders are civil. There is absolutely no need to be nasty and turn every disagreement into a verbal and public brawl. Good
elected officials at every level behave as if their mother, pastor or young children were watching and listening. They understand that their behavior sets the tone for how the community sees itself. When a newspaper story about their community describes a mess, they realize that they personally contributed to that sad situation. Good leaders are humble. Yes, getting elected can give a person an inflated sense of self-worth, just like losing can seem to be a personal, very public shaming. Good leaders stay true to their roots and remember who they represent. It’s truly not about them - it’s about what they can do in their position by working with others to help community members reach their full potential. Good leaders listen more and talk less. People who know me realize that I am a ‘work in progress’ on this one. But all of my work in conflict resolution has taught me that most of all, people in conflict just want to be heard. Being mean or loud doesn’t make a good leader. Paying attention to the needs of others, and being able to find common ground with them, is what makes a difference. Good leaders find the shared interests. They work hard to identify what people agree on and build from that base rather than immediately looking for differences and a fight. Good leaders appreciate

their staff. Blaming, bullying and micromanaging the staff is totally unacceptable and is the opposite of any successful business leadership strategy. Like elected officials, staff want to be part of a proud, high-quality organization and community. Elected officials come and go, but I believe part of the staff’s job is to safeguard the long-term health of the community from the swings of politics. True community leaders find ways to support and work with their staff to accomplish great things within limited budgets. (On a personal note: I will always defend my city staff and if I ever need to question a staffers performance I will discreetly pull my city administrator aside and quietly express my concerns, which they will then address as they see fit, using their professional training and judgment. And that is the end of my involvement on the issue). Good leaders are cautious and discreet. Especially in criticizing other community leaders or organizations, like school boards or community nonprofits. Working well together is key to building a better community. True leaders reflect and grow every day because they realize that the importance and value of improving the community always comes first.

Alex Rogan and Nick O’Neill, former Centennial golf teammates, have been duking it out for three years now in the Chomonix Golf Club tournament. Rogan came out on top in this year’s installment of the friendly rivalry, shooting 75-70-145 on Aug. 19 and Aug 20, with O’Neill six strokes back at 74-77-151. Down a stroke after Saturday, Rogan heated up Sunday and pulled away at the end, going two-under the last six holes. He was champion in 2015 at Chomonix while still in high school. O’Neill supplanted him last year and Rogan returned the favor this year, on the Cougars’ home course where they know every bend and every tree. They’ve finished 1-2 in each of these last three tournaments. After earning all-conference honors five times and qualifying for state as a senior in 2016, Rogan moved on to Wisconsin-Eau Claire. As a freshman, he got into six tournaments and averaged 77.0 strokes, highlighted by a 10th-place finish at the St. John’s Invitational. The 2017 Chomonix tournament was a two-horse race, as Nick Holt placed third with 80-80-160 and Ben Saarion was fourth with 81-81-162. Brian Blair captured the first flight and seniors championships, rallying from seven strokes behind to beat two-time seniors winner Lee Silva. Blair shot 86-73-159 to Silva’s 79-84-163. The seniors play with the rest of the pack and the seniors title goes to the low score among those eligible. Also in the first flight, Carter Korkowski came in at 88-76-164 and Dave Hoehn 86-78-164. Silva got low

Strategies for lowering your score that really work If I had to pick one question I am asked the most, far and away it’s “How can I lower my score?” It’s actually easier than you think, and it’s not related to a technical swing change. Here are 10 suggestions that will help you do it. 1. If you’re on the range before a round and you don’t have your “A” game going, go with what you have. This is my number one thing to work on this year. Maybe that means hitting a 3 or a 5 wood off the tee instead of a driver. I’d rather be 20 yards shorter in the fairway than in the rough. If you don’t feel balanced during your swing, try swinging 80 percent of your normal tempo and play one more club. The worst thing you can do is to force a good swing. 2. Take the tension out of your body with these simple moves: during your swing, say the word “super-fluid” in your brain. I guarantee your tempo will be better, and you’ll have the perfect pause at the top of your backswing to start the transition to your forward swing. If your muscles are tight when you’re standing over the ball at address (and most average golfers are) let your tongue rest on the top of your mouth. Try saying the letter N, and that’s the spot it should be. Don’t laugh, it works. 3. Find the perfect grip pressure. Most people hold the club too tightly. Hold a club out in front of you with your arms straight (don’t lock your elbows) the clubhead pointing up to the sky. Close your eyes. Have the lightest grip you can without dropping the club. You are going to count to 10, adding a little more pressure each time. Ten should be a death grip. Now count back to one. Go back up again to 3 and 4. Believe it
or not, that’s the perfect grip pressure for your full swing shots. 4. I’m sure you’ve heard this one many times. The most important shot in golf is Tee Time the one you are hitting next. Betsy Why bother thinking about Larey the bad shot you just hit, when it’s history and you have no control over it? On the flip side, don’t get ahead of yourself either. How many times have you been playing well and look at your scorecard and think, “if I par the last two holes, I’ll shoot my career round.” I guarantee you that you won’t. 5. Practice like you play and play like you practice. All research says you get good at what you practice. If you practice hitting 30 7 irons from a perfect lie, you’ll get good at that. I absolutely believe everyone should dedicate one round a week for practice. No keeping score. Go out when the course isn’t busy and practice on the course. Drop balls behind a tree, in the deep rough over the green, anywhere that is anything but a perfect lie. Practice those little quarter and half swing “money wedges” within 100 yards of the green. Try it in 10 yard increments. The good players can dial these in on a consistent basis. By all means practice the shots that give you the most trouble. If you hit one you don’t like, drop another ball and hit it again. It’s amazing how easier it is when you’re not keeping score, and to get better, you need positive reinforcement. 6. Tee it up on the side of trouble.
If the water, sand or out of bounds is on the right, tee it up on the right side of the tee box and aim to the left side of the fairway. 7. Play to the center of the green. Now that everybody has GPS, we all want to know what it is to the pin. I’d rather be on the green in the middle and count on my two putts than miss long or short and put pressure on hitting the perfect chip or pitch. If you have a great short game and consistently get up and down, then by all means go for the pin. 8. If you’re putting poorly, pretend the hole is the size of bushel basket. Make two putts be your goal that day. 9. Don’t follow a bad shot with a stupid shot. If you hit a poor tee shot and have no real chance at advancing the ball, maybe the best shot is sideways or backwards. It’s called taking your medicine. 10. Create your own par. How many players do you think shoot par? Less than 1 percent. I have always thought there should be multiple pars in the game of golf. Figure out how many strokes it takes you to normally hit the green on a hole and add two strokes. That’s your par. Write in on the scorecard. I guarantee you will have more fun with this game and you just may indeed break par. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years.

MORE THAN PINK: Program inspires young women to be comfortable in their own skin FROM PAGE 1
QC Dance. One of the popular activities was Mad City Money, where the girls played a real-life Game of Life. During the activities girls went around and got a job, bought a house, car, daycare etc. all while trying to maintain a monthly budget. Another important theme was self-awareness. “With all the texting and bullying that happens on social media, this can be a safe, fun place for them to learn about themselves and what healthy relationships are,” Sendle said. Sixth-grader Emma Duoos wanted to participate in the program because she wanted to get involved in more activities. She said she really enjoyed “meeting new friends and being entertained with other people.” Her favorite day of the program was when the girls got to eat pizza and she especially enjoyed discussing friendship. “I got to learn about how to be nice to others when they aren’t being nice to you, and how to work out your problems with other people and grownups,” she said. Duoos added it is important for the girls to share what they learned from the program with their siblings and friends. Fifth-grader Lainey Minear wanted to do the program for the fitness component. “Before (the program), I didn’t really exercise, but I thought this program could help improve my athletics,” she said. During the experience, Minear enjoyed meeting people she had never met before and developing new friendships. “It helps our friendships when we are going into middle school,” she said.

Centennial student has life-changing experience in D.C. BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
A senior at Centennial High School was one of two girls in the state to be selected to attend American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Girls Nation in Washington, D.C., July 22–29. Izzy Raleigh, of Blaine, is the daughter of Donald Raleigh, who is a life member of the Legion. ALA Unit 566 Past President Patti Coleman reached out to Raleigh to see if she would be interested in attending the ALA Minnesota Girls State Competition and Raleigh said yes. “I,ve always been a very involved leader and I am really into politics,” she noted. Raleigh, along with Centennial senior Shayla Mensink, attended ALA Girls State and competed against 260 others in June at Bethel University. During the week-long program, the young women learned about government, politics, campaigning and elections, good citizenship and Americanism in a learning by living it environment. “Being selected to attend ALA Girls Nation is a true honor. The process is not easy and requires preparation and internal fortitude to succeed,” Coleman explained. “Izzy exemplifies the determination to be successful in everything she does. Her leadership skills and character set her apart from many of her peers.” Raleigh described the selection process as extremely “rigorous” and “competitive.” In order to get to state, the young women had to submit their own federal bill. Raleigh submitted a bill called FAST, which stands for Fair Achievement for Science and Technology. Then she had to take a long test, which asked about citizenship, U.S. history and officials from both federal and local government. The top 10 achievers on the test then had to answer a question on the spot on stage, with two minutes to answer. Raleigh’s question was “Tell me about Kellyanne Conway.” The top six responses were selected to go through an interview process, where a senior senator (Raleigh) and a junior senator were selected to attend ALA Girls Nation. During state, the young women also compete for roles, Raleigh achieved Speaker of the House and got to run two sessions of the House and
an Inauguration. “I am really, really proud of it. That was the best part. It was really amazing,” Raleigh said. The ALA Girls Nation program is a continuation of learning about government and processes on the Federal level. The young women from all around the U.S. are put into communities of 13. “It is kind of like a family while you are there. I have never been closer to people in such a short amount of time,” she said. “My favorite part was the tight bond I made with all the people there. I had no idea how close we would become.” During the trip she attended classes, heard speeches, visited museums and other popular tourist destinations in D.C, all while competing for another role. This time, Raleigh was selected as Secretary of Defense. “You get a lot of respect for our country, for our service members and for the ALA. I've never had more respect for an organization than the Auxiliary,” Raleigh explained. “I learned a lot about politics and the way the world works. I got to live democracy and meet some really cool people, regardless of political affiliation.” Raleigh met Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken. Raleigh said the trip was “a very life changing experience and I learned a lot about myself.” She has always considered herself good at math and science and was considering becoming an engineer. However, this experience has led her in a different direction. “I am drawn toward politics now,” she said. She plans to attend a four-year university and eventually the hope is to attend and Ivy League law school to pursue a career in politics. Raleigh is also the newest member of the Auxiliary. “Lino Lakes Unit 566 is thrilled we were able to sponsor such a fine young woman to represent our ALA, Centennial High School and the Centennial community. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Izzy as she pursues her dreams,” Coleman said. “We wish her well and are anxious to follow her life’s journey.”

STREET PROJECT: Resident asks city engineer for ‘drill-down’ details FROM PAGE 1
the fi rst feasibility study was done in 1989 and there has been three others since then and they have all cost a lot of money. It needs to be confi rmed that these dollars will not go wasted, correct?” To which Community Development Director Michael Grochala responded “correct,” explaining the project had never moved beyond the feasibility phase in the past. Maher shared her concern. “What makes me uncomfortable with this is we are handing WSB 1/2 million
dollars. When it come back to us, it’s a final design for bidding process. What if we don’t like it? What if we don’t think it is in the best interests of our residents?” Grochala explained city staff will be involved in the design process all along the way in conjunction with WSB and providing monthly updates to the council at work sessions. “It is not like WSB leaves City Hall tonight and is by themselves for eight months,” he said. Trehus asked specific questions such as how much of the road length would have storm sewer? How deep

the storm sewer system would be? How much grade would be needed for the storm sewer to be functional? etc. Hankee explained they simply could not answer all of those questions this early in the process. “There is a lot of factors that we bring into the design and then we will have to come back to the neighborhood again...we will then go back and refine it. That’s how we come up with a fi nal design that is cost effective,” she said. Reinert added, “We need to stay on topic and stick to the item that is on the agenda. Tonight’s action is to order the work to be done so we can get all the information we need and actually get this thing designed. A lot of what you are asking is drill-down details of the design itself. I think it’s a little soon to be asking all of those questions you have.” Trehus explained, “My concern with the way it is structured is it could get to a point where it is too late to really change course and there is really no decision making until the fi nal plans and specs are going out for bids.” Trehus showed the council some drawings of a proposed design from a previous feasibility study. Reinert told him he was getting off topic again and set a two-minute timer on his phone. The timer went off and Reinert told Trehus his two minutes was up. Trehus asked Reinert, “Will you please let me fi nish?” and Reinert reminded him he was getting off topic. Trehus then left the Council Chambers. Reinert said, “I want to listen to residents on this topic, but he is not
talking about the agenda item.” There will be plenty of time to talk about those details he wants to talk about in the very near future.” Grochala added, “At the end of the day we have a responsibility to the people who are paying the bill for this project. Those costs have to be based on some logic and we are going to try to do that at the lowest cost possible. I would much rather have to buy 10-by10-foot easement from someone than turn around and have to pay $300,000 for a storm sewer lift station that we have to maintain for the next 100 years.” The estimated construction cost for the project is $5,896,224, including both sanitary sewer and water improvements. The total project cost, including construction contingencies, engineering, legal and administrative costs is approximately $6,970,000. WSB will begin the data collection process and neighborhood meetings will be held to keep residents informed and gather feedback in the initial data collection process (September) and at the 60 percent design stage (October–December). In addition to monthly updates at City Council work sessions, there will also be project updates on a project website. The council is scheduled to approve the plans in March and award the project in April, and construction is proposed to be completed by June 2019.

WEATHER TIDBIT WEEKLY AVERAGES There is a chill in the air. We’re on pace for the coldest AUG. 23 TO 29, 2017 August since 2004. Most Metro stations are running a High 78° good 5° colder than normal, and personally, it’s been Low 60° refreshing. The summer of 2004 was very cool with June, %Sun 65% July and August all colder than normal. Fear not, this PCP 1.12” did not translate into a bitter winter for 04-05; in fact, it turned out to be a mild fall and winter. Rainfall activity has really picked up, with many stations having above normal totals for the month. Looks like August 2017 will go down as a cool and wet month. ASTRO NOTE: August 25, Jupiter south of moon at sunset.

Local inventor to display product at State Fair BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO—When most people think of an inventor, they assume he or she is an engineer. But for local resident Greg Johnson, that is not the case. Johnson, who has lived in Hugo for around 13 years, has held a variety of on and off jobs throughout the years including a bus driver and blackjack dealer. “I've had a bunch of odd jobs on and off, but I've always been putzing around with crazy little inventions and one of them turned out to be pretty successful,” he said. Although Johnson has made many inventions over the years, one he said was more successful was Rocket Arrowhead, arrowheads that are aerodynamic, accurate and compact. “I retired and lived happily ever after. I was flying around and living large and then I got into this shoe
thing,” Johnson said, referring to his invention Zerotie, a unique shoe that combines technology with footwear to be a hands-free, self-lacing shoe. Johnson originally came up with the idea in 1998 in an effort to help his mother. “She had really bad arthritis. One day I saw her fumbling with her shoes and told her to get some slip ons or Velcro and she didn't like it and got really mad at me. So I started putzing around,” he said. Since then, Johnson has developed many models of the shoe. The patented Zerotie system eliminates the need to bend down to tie/untie shoes. There is no button to press or strap to pull. To wear the shoe, you place your foot in the shoe and draw your foot back to activate the “tying” mechanism. Johnson originally saw the shoe being useful for people similar to his mother who had difficulty bending down to tie their shoes whether it was arthritis, mental or physical
disability or overweight but he knew the product was going to be a hit after kids were excited about them. “I had my friend's 9-year-old kid test it because kids are good at destroying stuff. They walk through the puddle not around it. I wanted to see if he would like it or destroy it,” Johnson explained. “My friend called me and told me his son was having some problems; the spring was starting to wear out, so it wasn't making the same noise it used to. When the kid saw me he started backing up and saying 'the shoes are fi ne.' I told him I would get him a new pair, I just needed to see what was wrong.” Johnson recalled, “He ran out the door and his dad chased him down, tackled him and teared his shoes off and gave them to me. The last thing I heard him telling his dad was 'I hate you.' He liked the shoes and thought they were a cool thing for him to have at school. That's when I thought we
might have something here.” As far as competitors go, Johnson said there are only a couple that have the same concept but work a bit differently. “I look at these shoes as outperforming a tie shoe, not only because you don't have to bend over and tie them, but you can get them really tight all the way down to toe, whereas another regular shoe you really need to lace it up like a skate and tie them. In every aspect, they are better than a regular shoe.” He explained it is similar to a smartphone. Before you have the shoe/ smartphone you don't miss it because you don't know what you are missing. However once you have had the shoe/ smartphone, you miss it and can't go back to a regular shoe or flip phone. Zerotie shoes will be exhibiting at the Minnesota State Fair from Aug.

GREG JOHNSON: Invents hands-free, self-lacing shoes FROM PAGE 19
24-Sept. 4 at the Sprongs booth. The brand will have its new line of men's women's and children's fall 2017 collection on display for people to look at, try on and purchase if they so desire. “It is a good way to reach a lot of people from a hands-on perspective...One of the best ways to spread the word about something like this is to actually have people see it,” said Hilarie Viener, who is involved in marketing the product. “It made perfect sense for us to get in front of a live audience. The more people that see and touch it, creates word of mouth and gives people an opportunity to touch, feel, experience the product versus just seeing it online or in an ad or magazine.”
Things are starting to look up for Johnson, who might be able to retire again one day. “I was pretty well off after I sold my last business, well retired, just enjoying life. Then I spent everything I had, I started borrowing money and I went from being set for life to being in debt,” he explained. “The shoe business is so big. I looked at it as if you are swimming across a lake, you have got to go all the way or you are going to drown.” Johnson has no plans to retire as of yet. For now, he said he is just trying to get by from day-to-day. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Prolong the life of your hair color • Understand the difference between products. Hair color can come in different formulations. Semi- and demi-permanent colors deposit color without lightening and will wash out gradually after a certain number of shampoos. Permanent hair colors use a combination of components to open up the hair cuticle so that natural hair color can be lightened and color deposited as well. Someone unsure of a color may want to try a semipermanent formulation and then look to the permanent equivalent when satisfied so that the color will last longer. • Wash with cooler water. Keep color longer by turning down the thermostat in the shower. Hot water can cause the hair shaft to expand and lead to more dissolution of hair color molecules. Washing and rinsing with cool water can lock in the color longer. • Skip the sulfates. Sulfates are detergents used in shampoos that produce those lush suds many people equate with cleanliness. Sulfates can strip dyes from the hair and lead to premature fading. • Use a color-extending product. Color-extending
products come in two varieties: those that deposit small amounts of color to help keep the overall shade fresh, and others that don’t add color but help seal the cuticle so that existing color will not fade away. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested nine brands, including 24 products, and found most of the products, such as color shampoos, helped dyes last longer than regular shampoos. • Protect against the sun. Your skin is not the only part of the body that needs to be shielded from the sun. Ultraviolet light can cause premature fading of hair color. Look for a product that defends against UV damage, and wear hats when out in strong sun. • Head back to the salon. Some salons offer free or inexpensive glossing treatments. This 10-minute service can extend the life of your hair color. By following some easy hair care tips, anyone can keep their color lasting longer. Clients should speak with their stylists if they need more direction and advice about hair color.
