Council approves variance for St. Clair Estates BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER
LINO LAKES — St. Clair Estates, a proposed residential development, has long been a topic of conversation of both the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission. At the council’s Aug. 22 meeting, it approved a variance and preliminary plat for the development. St. Clair Estates is a proposed 35-lot single-family residential subdivision located north of Birch Street/CSAH 34 and east of Hokah Drive. The development is around 30 acres in size and is bordered by the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve on the north, Rice Lake Elementary School and wetlands on the east, singlefamily homes and Birch Street on the south, and Spirit Hills and Shenandoah Third Addition residential subdivisions on the west. The item was originally scheduled to be on the Aug. 8 agenda, but was removed because of a number of concerns expressed by residents of surrounding neighborhoods and council members as well. Traffic, lack of access to Birch Street and cul-de-sac length were the hot topics. The main concern of residents in the neighboring development was the likelihood of increased traffic if Hokah
Drive becomes a right-in, right-out in the future, which could be a component of an Anoka County project to improve Birch Street. The county is currently evaluating safety improvements along Birch Street from Ware Road to West Shadow Lake Drive, which are not expected to be constructed for at least a couple of years. According to a traffic study, the amount of average daily traffic (ADT) would go from 270 to 455 on Hokah Drive and from 520 to 670 on Sioux Lane if there are no changes to Hokah Drive and the development has no access to Birch Street. If Hokah Drive were to be restricted to a right-in, right-out (with no access to Birch Street) the ADT would be 175 on Hokah Drive and 950 on Sioux Lane (50 trips away from what the city says ADT should be for local roads). If Hokah Drive were to become a right-in, right-out and Enid Trail became a 3/4-access intersection, the ADT on Hokah would be 110, 830 on Sioux Lane and 185 on Enid Trail. Anoka County Engineer and Transportation Division Manager Doug Fischer said, “This development is fully satisfactory to the long-range plan for Birch. Regardless of this development, as traffic continues to increases on Birch, Hokah is going to have to become a right-in, right-out. It will happen at some point in the future
regardless of this development, but I can’t tell you when.” Resident Doug Parent, who lives on Sioux Lane, had some questions about the numbers generated in the traffic study and when the data was collected. He said if the study was conducted when school was out, the ADT would be considerably lower. The original traffic study was done on May 2 by SRF Consulting Group, Inc. based off of the Institute of Transportation Engineers manual, and 24 hour video surveillance was taken of cars at multiple intersections around the development. Due to the amount of traffic concerns, the city asked the developer to look back at the video surveillance taken in May and get actual counts of the cars to insure accuracy on June 23. The actual count in June determined that the preliminary numbers in May were conservative, and the amount of ADTs was less than first predicted. Another concern discussed was the variance for the cul-de-sac. The cul-desac is 1,200 feet or 1,600 feet (depending on where it is measured) in length. City ordinance specifies that no cul-de-sac should exceed 500 feet. Councilwoman Melissa Maher did not want to grant the variance. “We have this long history of granting these variances for extra long cul-de-
sacs, which I feel has put the council in a bad position,” she said. “I have concerns that our variance guidelines say economic considerations are not enough to grant a variance, and I don’t see what else this could be. The only reason we would be granting this is to allow many more lots than technically our variance wants this to be. Our history worries me.” Reinert added, “For me it is all about liberty; liberty is a two-way street, though. You want to be able to live in a safe neighborhood and not be imposed upon with too much traffic. On the other side, there is the liberty of the person who owns the land who for many years thought someday he would develop it for part of his retirement. I can tell you that is the last thing on my mind as far as why we approve development, is that these homes are going to generate more taxes for the city.” Ultimately, the council approved both the variance to cul-de-sac length and the preliminary plat, both by a 3-2 vote; Maher and Councilman Rob Rafferty voted against both motions. The council also passed a resolution indicating the city’s interest in being involved with the county’s future planning process for the Birch Street corridor.

Local high school wrestler travels for training and competition four days, River Falls, Wisconsin for three days and Emmanuel College (Georgia) for 10 days. Besides these training opportunities, recently Shilson has been able to compete nationally and internationally in locations such as Oklahoma City, Dallas, TX, Lima, Peru and Fargo, ND. This kind of sacrifice means that Shilson needs stay on top of her school work, given that several of these camps and tournaments fall on school days. She is just as dedicated to her studies as she is with her wrestling. She currently maintains a 4.0 GPA. “One thing that I find so satisfying is that she seems to thrive on training with the best competition. She is so excited in the days leading up to the camps, as if Christmas is right around the corner,” said her coach and dad, Chad Shilson, MN USA Wrestling – girls director & coach. “Her National Team coaches say that she maintains a laser like focus all through camp but is still able to socialize and have fun with her teammates when the time is right.” It seems as though the sacrifices, dedication and focus are starting to pay off for Shilson. In March, at her fi rst ever national tournament at the Cadet Age Division, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at the Girls’ Cadet Folkstyle Nationals, Shilson made the national finals, losing a close match to a reigning world silver
Spending 20-30 minutes commuting to school every morning isn’t out of the ordinary for a lot high school students, but for Centennial sophomore Shilson Shilson, it is a necessity. A couple years ago, Shilson (and her brother Tyler) went to their parents and said that if they were going to have a legitimate shot at reaching their wrestling goals, they were going to need to shake things up a little. Their proposal was to transfer schools, which meant a move across town. After a year of living in Circle Pines and attending their new school, they now open enroll and make the 20 mile drive each day, to and from school. Another piece to Shilson’s master training plan was that once she became old enough to compete at the Cadet Age Division, she would need to train with Team USA at every camp possible, regardless of time or location. USA Wrestling hosts several developmental training camps throughout the year and they expect their more experienced wrestlers to attend these camps. Up until two months ago, these camps were optional for her. In the past 12 months, Shilson has trained at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado for 10 days, in Los Angeles, California for four days, Arizona State University for four days, Ferrum College (Virginia) for

medalist. The next day, she wrestled up a division in the Junior Age Division and placed 3rd out of 36 wrestlers. Her lone loss came in the semifinals to the eventual champion. In May, Shilson traveled to Irving, Texas to compete in the UWW Cadet Freestyle World Team Trials. Winning this tournament puts you on the USA Cadet World Team that competes in Tbilisi, Georgia (Europe) in September. Shilson again made the finals, pinning a returning world team member in the semifinals. This win pitted Shilson against the same world silver medalist that she faced in the finals of Folkstyle Nationals. This time for the world team spot, it’s a best of three series in the finals. Shilson lost the fi rst match 7-4, but came back strong in the second match, pinning her opponent in the second period. This set up the final and deciding third match for that 46 kg USA World Team spot. Shilson lost a very close and hard fought battle to fi nish the tournament as the UWW World Team Trials Runner-up. She was heartbroken to not have made the world team. She knew she competed well but also knew there were some things she needed to tweak and improve on. She held her head high and thought about what was next on her calendar. That’s when her dad told her that by placing second, she made the Pan Am Team that would compete in Lima, Peru in July. Not only did she qualify for the Pan Am Championships and her fi rst international competition, but by placing in the top three it also now made it mandatory for Shilson to attend the upcoming USA Training Camps if she was to also start receiving the travel and training benefits that USA Wrestling offers

their elite level age group athletes. Fast forward to July 2 and Shilson is now on the mat in Lima. Having just beat a girl from Colombia by a technical fall in the quarterfinals and another girl from Peru by a pin in the semifinals, she went on to pin the opponent from Canada in the finals, earning the Cadet Pan Am Championship and helping Team USA to a fi rst place finish in the team standings. If the sacrifices haven’t been enough, Shilson decided to drop down a weight division for the extremely tough USA Cadet and Junior Nationals, held each July in Fargo, North Dakota every year. When interviewed after the Fargo National Tournament, Shilson said “I felt small at the heavier weights and knew I could be at my best for Fargo if I dropped a weight class.” Shilson stormed through her Cadet bracket, beating all four opponents by technical fall or pin in the fi rst period, not allowing a point to be scored. She claimed her fi rst Cadet National Freestyle

title, becoming the fi rst girl from Minnesota to do so. Two days later, she wrestled in the Junior Division where the bracket had 29 girls. The results were consistent with her run to the Cadet title as Shilson beat one opponent by technical fall and pinned four other girls. This time, along with the Junior National Freestyle title that Shilson just earned, she was awarded with the Junior National Tournament Outstanding Wrestler award. The award is given to one wrestler from each national tournament following the completion of the finals. She becomes only the fourth Minnesota girl to ever win a Junior National Freestyle title, with two of those woman now being a couple of Shilson’s coaches. Asked if Shilson had a plan going into
each of the National Tournaments in Fargo and Shilson had a simple response, “my plan was to dominate.” “I’ve gone with her to several of these training camps and I coach her at all of these tournaments. As long as she wants to continue chasing down these goals, Margaret and I will support her in every way we can,” Chad said. What’s up for Shilson’s next travel and training schedule? She will spend 12 days training with Team USA at their next camp starting Sept. 1. Fortunately for the Shilsons, that camp is being held at Augsburg College in Minneapolis as MN USA Wrestling plays host to the top female Cadet wrestlers in the country for the better part of two weeks.

SPORTS BRIEF September is Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month According to recent data from Prevent Blindness, more eye injuries occur from water and pool activities than any other sport. Eye injuries include everything from eye infections and irritations, to burns from chlorine and other chemicals, to scratches or trauma from other swimmers. Wearing contact lenses during water activities also increases the risk for Acanthamoeba Keratisis, a severe, painful infection of the cornea, which can lead to blindness. Other sports with the most eye injuries include basketball, use of guns, baseball/softball and football. Here are some recommendations: for those who wear prescription glasses, ask an eye doctor for prescription eye guards, athletes with only one eye that sees well) should consult an eye doctor about what sports are safe to participate in, a sports helmet alone may not prevent from eye injury, don't buy sports eye guards without lenses, check to see if the eye protector has been tested for sports use, sport eye guards should be padded or cushioned along the brow and bridge of the nose and try on eye protectors to determine if it's the right size.

MISS LINO LAKES: Ambassadors gain confidence, poise and elegance FROM PAGE 1
scholarship and achievement. This past year the ambassadors attended more than 100 events, including various parades, coronations, volunteer events and other functions throughout the state. “It teaches young women to give back and how to have poise and elegance,” said Warren. “It is not just about a crown.” This year's judges included Lynn Bergman, who founded the program and served as director for seven years; Crystal Biljan, who served as an ambassador in 2006; Lino Lakes Councilman Rob Rafferty, and Katrina Sailer, a 2001-02 Blaine ambassador. The outgoing ambassadors all agree that the program has had a huge impact on them. “It has made me more confident and I am able to communicate better with people,” Hanson said. Warren said, “I have grown a lot more confident and I feel like I can go up to anybody and start a conversation with them and have it not be awkward or uncomfortable. It has been a lot of selfgrowth, and it is nice to figure out who you really are as a person.” Marcello added, “It is so much easier to start small talk with people you don't know.” All three of the girls also had similar advice for the new ambassadors. “Don't let fear stop you. Jump right in because you only get a year, and you might as well make the most of every moment you get,” Hanson said. “Don't hesitate to break out of your shell and go for things, because you don't have time to waste. It goes fast,” Warren noted. Marcello said, “Take it slow, day by day because it goes fast!”
Meet the 2016-17 ambassadors Anizor wanted to enter the program because she really likes volunteering. “I love to do stuff in my community to better it,” she said. Anizor is the president of the National Honor Society (NHS) and the vice president of the student council. She has lettered in both speech and varsity track and is also involved in her church's ministry team and youth program.

She is looking forward to spending time with the other ambassadors and learning from them. “I am super honored and so thankful for this opportunity, especially since we have such amazing ambassadors before us,” she said. “I hope to make the best of the experience. Life passes us by pretty quickly, so I hope I can cherish it.” Anizor hopes to attend the University of Minnesota or the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study apparel merchandising. Belting wants “to lead the community and empower young women. Just seeing the other ambassadors and seeing how poised and well mannered they are, is something to be proud of as a community and to be a part of that now is a great honor,” she said. Belting is the starting goalie and twotime captain of the Centennial varsity lacrosse team and is also the captain of the downhill ski team. In addition, she volunteers as a lacrosse goalie coach for youth teams, at her church festival and Bible camps, and also teaches a confirmation group. She is looking forward to “growing with the other two ambassadors, getting to know them as well as having a good year of leadership in the commu-
nity.” She hopes the program will improve her leadership and public speaking skills. Belting hopes to attend the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs and study business and marketing. She hopes to continue playing lacrosse at the collegiate level. Steinberg said she thought involvement in the program “could really help me with my confidence and people skills. I also really like helping out in the community,” she said. Steinberg is a member of the Centennial robotics team and is a captain of the Centennial girls' swim and dive team. She is also a member of NHS and has been recognized by the Society of Women Engineers for distinction in STEM courses. She said she is looking forward to “getting to know the girls, meeting a lot of new people and having a lot of new experiences. I hope I can make a lot of people happy.” Steinberg hopes to attend Iowa State University to study engineering. Other candidates included: Kayla Bauer, Eddie Erickson, Megan Johnston, Stella Luikart, Kristen Peck and Autumn Talley.
