Council rejects bids in hopes of cheaper bids this fall BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
BILL JACOBSON | SUBMITTED
Lino K-9 retires on ‘Justice Day’ Justice officlally retired from the job Sept. 1. Justice became the second police K-9 to serve the Lino Lakes community when he joined the public safety team in August 2012. Justice had over 270 deployments, located 32 suspects/missing persons and performed 45 public demonstrations throughout his career. He was recognized for his abilities by the United States Police Canine Association with five top-level awards.
LINO LAKES — After bids came in higher than expected, the City Council rejected bids Aug. 26 for the Elmcrest Avenue and Cedar Street improvement project, which had been planned for construction yet this year. The council previously approved a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the city of Hugo for the paving of sections of 24th Avenue/Elmcrest Avenue and East Cedar Street. Elmcrest Avenue serves as the border between the two cities north of Frenchman Road, and East Cedar Street, which remains largely unpaved, lies within the city of Lino Lakes but is used by drivers of both communities. The JPA outlined that the East Cedar Street improvements would be the financial responsibility of the city of Lino Lakes and the 24th Avenue/ Elmcrest Avenue improvements would be the financial responsibility of the city of Hugo. Four bids were received Aug. 15: the low bid, from T.A. Shifsky and Sons Inc., was $777,552, more than $179,000 above the engineer's estimate for the project. “The bids were 23% higher than we SEE COUNCIL REJECTS, PAGE 5
Two Centennial teachers gain firsthand knowledge of Korea BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Twenty-five teachers from across the country were selected to attend a teacher research trip in Korea this past summer and two of them happen to be from the same district: Centennial. Social studies teachers Julie Cross and Nori Heino were chosen to be World History Digital Education (WHDE) Fellows. The highlight of the fellowship was a 10-day visit in July to the Republic of Korea,
which focused on research of Korean history and culture. The trip emphasized a deeper understanding of the rich history of the Korean peninsula, including its simultaneous economic growth and democratization. “The purpose of the trip was to give Social Studies teachers a firsthand, experiential learning opportunity to learn about Korea, past and present,” Cross said. “The foundations would like us to educate our students and colleagues about Korea and its
amazing history and ability to recover from the devastation of the Korean War.” (Heino was unable to be reached for the story, as she is currently abroad in the Dominican Republic on a twoyear leave from Centennial.) This is not the first time the 20-year Centennial veteran teacher has ventured to another country to bring back a wealth of knowledge to share with her co-workers and students.

Wellness Circle: Full of holistic sole proprietors BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
LINO LAKES — Perhaps it's fate, that like-minded businesses that focus on the whole person, found each other and reside under the same roof. The Wellness Circle, located at 7094 Lake Drive in Lino Lakes, houses a variety of sole proprietors that offer herbal medicine, Reiki, flower essences, massage (both traditional and Shiatsu), acupuncture, teas and more. In May, some of the businesses housed in The Wellness Circle building relocated to a new location in Circle Pines (near Matthew's Restaurant) after they were no longer able to remain located on the bottom level of the building. The Quad Community Press set out to learn more about each of the businesses that remain in Lino Lakes. The following businesses responded to inquiries from the Quad by press time.
Spirited Sage
Barbara Ford, a resident of Vadnais Heights, has operated her business, Spirited Sage, out of the Wellness Circle since 2012. Ford uses plant medicine, energy healing and education to help empower, enlighten and heal those who desire to integrate natural healing with conventional medicine therapies. She educates her clients about health and wellness using an approach that embraces the whole person, including mind, body and soul. Ford spent several years training and working in the conventional medical arena but awakened to a more holistic approach to health and healing after a major life and health challenge. In 1999, Reiki healing and attunements came to her through a series of synchronistic events, with the study of herbalism not far behind, both of which she fully embraced. She received her diploma in herbal medicine from the American College of Healthcare Sciences (formerly Australasian College of Herbal Medicine) in 2001, Level 1 & 2 Reiki attunements in 2000 and Reiki master/teacher in 2009. As a master herbalist and Reiki master, Ford believes in empowering clients to take charge of their own healing experience. She uses her knowledge of holistic health remedies to create an individualized plan for each of her clients based on their unique health needs. Her approach of conscious healing focuses on the entire client, both mentally and physically. By combining Reiki, herbal medicine and nutritional response testing, or each individually, Barbara can help clients feel better while being more conscious of their own health and healing. “I am here to help people heal in a way that supports their own choices and needs. I don't diagnose, but generally people I see have already been diagnosed ... They get diagnosed with one thing but the source of the problem is something else, so I get right to the source of the problem,� Ford explained. “For example, there is usually another thing that causes high blood pressure. So rather than suppressing it with medications, we get to the source of the problem and work on that.� For more information, visit thespiritedsage.com.
Shanti Om Yoga
Points of Serenity/Serenity by Tammy
Annie Haglund, a Shoreview resident, has owned her business for 10 years. She has had to find a new location for the business four times, most recently after the Lovell Building in Lexington was demolished for an apartment building. “We had nowhere to go. The city was kind enough to give us a little home in their backroom until we found our new home (in the Wellness Circle),� Haglund said. “I have autoimmune diseases, and I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed if I had not been doing yoga the past 15 years,� Haglund explained. Jill Burton, a Centerville resident, has been a student of Haglund's for around nine years and has since become certified in yoga. Yoga helped her to lose and keep off 50 pounds. “I like to think we help a lot of people with a lot of life issues. Yoga is so much about getting centered, feeling welcomed and being encouraged to keep going,� she said. “It is a very individual practice, but we are very community oriented. We meet everyone where they are at and try to encourage them to go further.� Shanti Om Yoga offers small class sizes for people of all ages and abilities. In addition to regular classes, the business also hosts various workshops, events and demonstrations to explore different types of yoga. Haglund is also a Reiki master and performs ear candling. For more information about Shanti Om Yoga, visit shantiomyoga. com.
White Bear Lake resident Tammy Gerber has been practicing acupuncture for eight years, all of which have been in the Wellness Circle. Gerber has a bachelor's degree in ecology and worked in the research world for several years before discovering the world of acupuncture. “I had a lot of severe allergies and after going to an acupuncturist I got off my EpiPen, stopped wearing my medical ID bracelet, started eating different foods that I couldn't eat before and I didn't end up at the emergency room anymore,� she recalled. “I still have allergies, but (acupuncture) decreased the severity a lot.� Gerber was so impressed she decided to change careers. She completed a master’s degree at the American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Roseville. The most common reason clients see Gerber is for stress and anxiety, and the second most common reason is pain. “It can kind of treat everything. It can complement a lot of things. It can be a support treatment for after you have had your cancer treatment, it can be a support treatment for stress and anxiety,� she said. In addition to acupuncture, Gerber also sells teas. “They call me the tea lady,� she said. Gerber sells a variety of teas including Happy Tea, Support Tea, Serenity Tea, Warming Tea and Evening Tea. She also develops personal blends for her clients based on their own individual needs. For more information about Points of Serenity or Serenity by Tammy, visit tammygerberlac.net/home.html or serenitybytammy.com.
Monarch Massage
Therapy School to become certified in Shiatsu. “I love doing massage and I really love Shiatsu. It is so different from traditional massage,� she explained. “With traditional massage you are working on the muscles and connective tissue, whereas with Shiatsu, it is more like acupuncture, but I don't use needles. I work more along the acupressure meridians, I do a lot more point work, focused on the acupuncture points.� She added, “We look at trying to bring the body to an energetic balance. Even though I am affecting muscles and connective tissue because I am still working physically on the body, the approach is more on an energetic principle.� In addition to Shiatsu, Dufresne also loves to create things including jewelry, embroidery, bags, sculptures and other handcrafts. Because she loves interacting with people, she typically takes her creations to trade/craft shows twice a month. To see some of her creations, visit madebylinnae.com. Although a date has not yet been finalized, the businesses in the Wellness Circle building plan to host an open house for community members this fall.

Lino Lakes resident Manel Renshaw started her business 10 years ago in the Roseville/Shoreview areas. Six months ago, she moved her business into the Wellness Circle building. Renshaw has a bachelor's degree in community health. “My interest in health goes way back,� she said. In 2009, she became certified in massage at Sister Rosalind Massage in West St. Paul. Most of Renshaw's clients go to her for pain relief. “I cater to people who have had a lot of pain for a long time ... people who have problems with range of motion, chronic pain, numbness in their arms,� she said. “I like working with issues that people have, versus just doing a fluffy massage for relaxation. I want to help people that generally need wellness care.� Clients should expect a massage with “light-to-medium� pressure. “I have a therapeutic touch that isn't too strong,� she said. Renshaw encourages people to shop the “little guys�. “You are not paying Massage Envy and seeing a different person every time. It is just like your hometown doctor or vet, it is somebody that you can build a relationship with, when you come and see me or somebody else at the Wellness Circle.� This fall, Renshaw will start a program online for wellness/health coaching. “I am always looking at how I can evolve. I want to add that to my list of credentials,� she said. For more information about Monarch Massage, visit manelrenshaw.wixsite. com/therapeutic-massage.

Plan to endorse a candidate?
O
ver the years, opinion pages in our newspapers have been abused and quite frankly it’s our fault. We have allowed what are really advertisements in our opinion pages. Last year, our page count went up between four and eight pages each week during the political campaign. The newspaper received zero revenue from this and took on the printing and delivery expense. When political candidates hire people and coordinate groups of people to submit letters that they prepared, have their campaign committees submit letters, or get friends and family to submit letters, these letters should fall under advertising. It’s been a real problem the last few years. I’ve learned many newspaper colleagues feel the same way. As your local news Publisher’s source, we found a way to keep these political endorsement View letters in the papers and help it transparent to the readers Carter Johnson be by labeling them as paid endorsements and charging a nominal fee. As your local newspaper, we struggled with a decision. We struggled with the expense of publishing up to four to eight extra pages during the political campaign season. This week Press Publications and our sister newspapers will roll out a new guideline regarding endorsement letters. So what does this mean? It means we will continue to publish 99% of all letters to the editor that meet our guidelines of 350 words or less containing no libelous or derogatory statements and will charge a $25 fee for endorsement letters. What is an endorsement letter? It’s a letter that endorses or opposes a candidate or item on the ballot such as a levy, bonding referendum, or items that require a vote. Our residents count on us to be transparent and we believe this is another way to continue to do that and prevent deep use and misuse of opinion pages in our local community papers. A colleague and friend who publishes the Proctor Journal near Duluth has been charging endorsement letter fees for years. I believe many of the newspapers in North Dakota are charging fees, as well as our friends at the Echo Press in Alexandria, to name a few. The local community counts on the opinion pages to discuss local topics of concern, but when we get into the political season we get swamped with chain mail. This new guideline should help our staff of journalists focus on their job by covering countless meetings you don’t have time to attend and stories of interest to our readers. Paid endorsement letter policy The Quad Community Press accepts election letters endorsing or advocating for or against a ballot measure, party or candidate as paid advertising announcements. The fee is $25 for 7 inches and $5 for each additional inch. Like other letters to the editor, the writer’s name, address and phone number are required. Phone numbers are not published. The Quad Community Press has the right to reject letters that don’t meet publishing standards and will determine if the letter qualifies as a paid endorsement. Paid letters will be identified with a label and may or may not appear on the opinion/letters page. As always, we welcome your opinions. Contact us at news@presspubs.com. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Council meeting Aug. 19. “These are higher bid prices than we have seen in the past. I am confident that we could get lower bid prices next year, but there is no guarantee.” Lino Lakes City Engineer Diane Hankee said, “Contractors are very backed up this year. It is recommended to rebid the project this fall for construction in 2020. We anticipate the rebid will save approximately 10-15%.” The Hugo City Council rejected the bids for the project at its Aug. 19 meeting, but directed staff to continue
to move forward with the project by getting bids this fall for construction next spring. The Lino Lakes council chose to do the same. Lino Lakes Mayor Jeff Reinert said he recently spoke with Hugo Mayor Tom Weidt and that they were both disappointed about the project being delayed. “This has been a long time coming and we were hoping to get it resolved and get it done. It is complicated because it does involve two cities and two counties. We did give a good run at it, but bids came in 23%

POLITICAL BRIEF New policy for political letters to the editor Press Publications will now charge for political endorsement letters to the editor. Effective immediately, election-related letters advocating for or against a candidate or ballot measure will be subject to a $25 fee. The Press joins many other newspapers nationwide in adopting this policy, which is intended to prevent the abuse of editorial letters by political campaigns. Although the Press welcomes the civil exchange of ideas, campaigns often hire professional writers to write in what amounts to free advertising. By treating endorsement letters like advertisements, the Press intends to level the playing field. More information about the new policy can be found in the election season letter guidelines on page 4.

Quinn Bliss backhands a return against Maple Grove. She was team MVP last year and holds the No. 1 singles slot.
The Centennial tennis squad won its first seven matches before losing Tuesday to Mahtomedi 6-1. The Cougars are led by returning allconference players Quinn Bliss, Natalie Ennett and Claire Peloquin. They defeated Forest Lake 7-0, Hill-Murray 7-0 and Maple Grove 6-1 in a quad at home on Aug. 17, and swept through another quad Aug. 24 in Roseville, clipping Roseville Area 6-1, Mounds Park Academy 7-0 and Simley 5-2. They also won their conference opener against Maple Grove 4-3 on Aug. 20. Bruce Strand

Ashley Crowl, junior middle hitter, made her presence keenly felt as a new starter on the Centennial volleyball team, helping the Cougars open with wins over Bemidji and Armstrong. Crowl blasted 29 kills in 58 attempts, while committing only two hitting errors, and logged nine blocks (two solo). “Ashley has made an immediate impact, making teams take note,” said coach Jackie Rehbein-Manthey. “Her athleticism, power, and excitement jump-start the team.” Minnesota’s #1 Volume Toyota Dealer!

Centennial volleyball opens with two wins The Centennial volleyball team has picked up two victories to start the season. The Cougars participated in the Side-Out Classic, an annual showcase held at Edina this year, and defeated Bemidji 25-16, 25-19, 23-25, 25-14, on Saturday, Aug. 24. They won their conference opener against Robbinsdale Armstrong 26-24, 25-17, 26-24 at home Tuesday. “The team has had a strong start, but we have also had a few hiccups where we have given up seven-point runs— which we need to eliminate,” said coach Jackie Rehbein-Manthey. “I am very impressed with how well the team is working together at such an early point in the season.” Ashley Crowl (junior, middle hitter) and Sydney Petersen (junior, outside hitter) are leading the team in kills. Jadyn Clarner (junior, setter) has been anchoring the offense. Mackenzie McDonald (senior, libero) continues to be the defensive leader as
a third-year starter. Kailee Sendle (junior, right side hitter) and Natalie Jones (junior, outside hitter) are leading our team in service points. Annika Beuning (senior, middle hitter) is a force for the team blocking. Against Armstrong, the Cougars trailed 24-22 in game one, after making some unforced errors, but Crowl’s kill kept their hopes alive. Then, with Clarner serving, Petersen notched three kills to win it 26-24. Game three was tied 24-24 before Crowl delivered the go-ahead kill off a Clarner set, after which a serve from Jones forced an overpass, which Crowl hammered down for the clincher. McDonald and Sendle made 16 and 12 digs, respectively. Petersen had 15 kills and Crowl 12. Against Bemidji, Petersen had 21 kills and Crowl 17. Sendle added 11 kills while acing four serves.

KNOWLEDGE OF KOREA: Centennial teachers educate students and colleagues FROM PAGE 1
an article about Cross' trip to Germany in July 2017 on a fellowship offered by the Transatlantic Outreach Program. In order to be considered for the trip to Korea, Cross and Heino had to fill out a lengthy application. Before leaving for Korea, teachers were required to watch webinar lectures, complete assignments and transcribe an interview of a Korean War veteran. After returning, teachers had to commit to various presentations to share their experience and knowledge about Korea with others. “The main message is that social studies teachers are not really teaching the Korean War correctly. They are kind of skipping from the Soviet takeover after World War II to the Korean War, without teaching the background of Korea,” Cross explained. “They were occupied by the Japanese since 1910 and there was no reason for them to be divided between the U.S and the Soviet Union. The war devastated South Korea and they became an aid country ... They are the only aid country that has gone from one of the poorest nations in the world to 11th in our economy.” Cross added, “They have also come out of a military government into one of democracy. That democracy was created by the people in a peaceful revolution. Korea is thriving, they came out of ashes, they are doing really well, they have a strong economy and a vibrant democracy. They are moving into position to be the seventh largest economy in the world by 2025.” During the trip, fellows explored the history and culture of Korea by visiting key historical sites and museums, and conducting conversations with scholars. Among the highlights of the trip was a visit to the Demilitarization Zone (DMZ) to see the 60-year-old border that has divided the Korean peninsula.
“I think the most powerful day was the one that we spent at the DMZ. Gazing out across the line into North Korea felt surreal,” Cross recalled. Fellows visited Dorasan Station, the northernmost train station in South Korea, as well as the Third Tunnel of Aggression, which was used during the Korean War. Additionally, fellows toured Freedom Village, Daeseong-dong, located close to the border. The itinerary also included exploration of Gyeongbokgung Palace, POSCO Steel Headquarters in Pohang, the National Museum and a guided tour of the grounds of the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), the equivalent to the White House in the U.S. During the trip, fellows even got to spend the night in the Bulguksa Temple. “Korea is completely efficient, clean, very modern in its sustainability; there is not a spec of trash anywhere. They don't even have trash cans, because everybody is responsible for the trash,” Cross said. “It is that sense of community, a respect for education and hard work, that has made Korea so modern and so successful.” Cross presented to teachers in August through the Minnesota Council for the Social Studies and says she will address her colleagues at Centennial later this fall. The trip will also alter the way she teaches both U.S. History and World History. “I plan to weave in Korean history all throughout World History because we found out that it is like the best-kept secret. We found out they were the first to invent the metal printing press, but all social studies teachers attribute it to Gutenberg in Germany,” she said. “In U.S. History, I will teach the background to the Korean War more thoroughly and the unjustness of Korea being divided ... I think I can do a much better job of presenting global current events.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Aug. 26 meeting: • Appointed Thomas Hoffman to the environmental coordinator position. Current Environmental Coordinator Marty Asleson will retire this fall. In April and June, the City Council reviewed the position and a proposed salary reduction, which was approved. Human Resources Manager Karissa Bartholomew said the city had a total of 37 applicants for the position, interviewed 10 candidates for interviews and brought back four finalists for second interviews. “Hoffman was unique amongst the other candidates; he was the only one with direct experience in all areas this position requires,” she said. Hoffman will start in the position by midSeptember for $33.96 per hour, which is step 4.5 of 6 on the new wage schedule. • Authorized the sale of K-9 Justice to Officer Pete Knoll for $1 as of Sept. 1. Director of Public Safety John Swenson explained the $1 amount is consistent with how the department handled the sale of its first K-9, Recon, in 2012. • Accepted bids and awarded a construction contract for water tower No. 3. On July 22, the council approved the plans and specifications and authorized the advertisement for bids for the project. Water Tower No. 3, a 1.5-million-gallon composite tower, will be located off Birch
Street and Centerville Road on city-owned property near Fire Station No. 2. The project also includes site grading for future park improvements. A total of four bids were received; the low bid was submitted by Landmark Structures in the amount of $4,067,000. KLM Engineering and WSB submitted a proposal for construction services in the amount of $270,887. City Engineer Diane Hankee said the project will be funded through the city’s trunk utility fund. The project is expected to be completed in August 2021. Councilman Dale Stoez said he had seen some neighboring cities that have fences around their water towers and he wanted to know whether Lino Lakes needed to consider adding a fence. Hankee explained typically cities only install fences if there are security and/ or vandalism issues. Mayor Jeff Reinert said the fact that the water tower will be located right next to the fire station, where police and firefighters regularly congregate, likely will be enough of a deterrent. • Rejected bids for the Cedar Street/Elmcrest Avenue joint project with the city of Hugo. See the full story in this week's issue of the Quad Community Press. • Authorized a professional services agreement with WSB to update the city's pavement management ratings. As part of the city’s pavement management program, 25% of the city street

mileage is inspected and rated annually. Grochala explained the collected information is then used to develop a pavement condition index (PCI) for all the roads within the city. The PCI is one of the determining factors used to develop the city's annual preservation,
mill and overlay and street reconstruction program. WSB submitted a proposal to update the plan in an amount not to exceed $9,764. Funding for the study will come from the Pavement Management Fund. “The public needs to be aware of what he

(Grochala) just said. We send people out to measure and evaluate our roads and put it into the system so that we are able to determine what roads need to be done. We don't just throw darts at a dartboard,” said Councilman Michael Manthey.
The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9, at City Hall. The council is also scheduled to meet for a work session at 6 p.m. Sept. 3 in the Community Room. Shannon Granholm
CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at its Aug. 27 meeting: • Heard from Cindy Hansen, who is running for Anoka County Commissioner’s seat in District 6. Hansen spoke during the taxpayer comments portion of the meeting to share a little bit about herself and why she is running “What, you may ask, can I bring to the county board? Experience, transparency, integrity, passion and leadership that you can trust,” Hansen said. “Being mayor (of Spring Lake Park) for nine years has given me irreplaceable experience in negotiating, balancing budgets, prioritizing, (and) thinking outside of the box but, most importantly, listening to people and giving them a voice.” Councilman Matt Percy said both he and Councilman Mike Schweigert worked with Hansen on the North Metro Telecommunications Commission. “My experience with you has been that you are extremely fair and knowledgeable and generally a very wonderful person to work with. I was really happy to see you throw your name into the ring this year,” Percy said. Schweigert added that
Hansen is a great listener. Mayor Dave Bartholomay said the city of Circle Pines would like to see Anoka County add a couple of trail projects to its priorities, specifically a new trail running along Lake Drive (from Lexington to Lino Lakes) and a regional trail connection between Golden Lake Elementary School and Baldwin Park. • Heard from Schweigert, who announced he will not be running for a council seat this November. “After about 20 years of public service, I am not running for reelection ... I'd like to thank everyone who made that possible for me. Best of luck to the other candidates,” he said. Percy said, “You have proved that you are a voice for reason and moderation and that is always something that is very welcome here. I am very sad to see you go, but I appreciate the service that you have given to your city.” Bartholomay added, “You brought a lot of experience to the council, especially on the fi re side.” • Heard from City Administrator Patrick Antonen, who said the Utilities Commission received an audit presentation at its Aug. 21
meeting. “Everything is on the up and up. I am happy to report that the Blaine gas utility, which has always been in the negative, is now starting to turn around and fi nally make a profit after all of these years,” he said. • Approved a resolution proclaiming Sept. 17-23 as Constitution Week in honor of the 231st anniversary of the drafting of U.S. Constitution. Councilman Dean Goldberg asked whether the city has done anything else over the years, aside from passing the resolution, to raise awareness and educate people about the constitution’s anniversary. He suggested the city consider putting information in its city newsletter that would direct residents online for more information. Percy said, “I think that would be important, because people take their rights for granted and a lot of people forget where that derives from.” • Approved the 2020 North Metro Telecommunications Commission budget in the amount of $1,310,784, which represents a $1,220 decrease from last year's operating budget. The budgeted capital costs are $424,630, which is nearly $26,000 less than last year's capital budget.
Franchise fees to be paid back to member cities are budgeted at $400,000, the same as last year. • Approved the 2020 Centennial Fire District budget, which represents a 4.82% increase over last year's budget. Antonen said, “Unlike the police budget, where our share went up more than other cities, our portion didn't go up as much as Centerville’s this time. The formula worked to our advantage this time.” Overall, the city of Circle Pines will see a 3% increase in its contract with CFD. Circle Pines’ portion of the CFD capital equipment fund will be $353,848, a 2% increase from last year. Antonen explained that a big reason for the increase in the equipment fund is the purchase of equipment that will test the seals of fi refighter masks to ensure no particulates get in. “Our share is about $10,000,” he said. “We are splitting the cost with Spring Lake Park, Coon Rapids and the hazmat team.” The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, at City Hall.

Based in Blaine, the largest squadron in the Minnesota Wing and the North Central Region has 34 female cadets on its roster. This summer, Anoka marks a new milestone at its Cadet Change of Command. For the fi rst time in unit history, Anoka’s cadet corps will be led by an all-female cadet executive staff. “These young women have all worked together and pushed each other to achieve through the CAP Cadet Program. They are the epitome of both personal achievement and team building,” says Maj. Mary Albright. With only 25 total female cadet officers in the CAP across the entire Minnesota Wing, Anoka fields nearly a third of that number all by themselves.What is Anoka’s secret? “We believe in

Children who do not read in the summer can lose two to three months of reading skills. Kids who do read tend to gain a month of reading proficiency.
Hang on to your hat. We had big winds last week, roaring up to near 40 mph. It was three straight days of high, non-thunderstorm winds. Rain was plentiful the last week of August. You may have got caught up in the storm on Tuesday, August 27 and experienced marble-size hail and nearly an inch of rain. For August, I totaled 6.18 inches of rain which is nearly 2 inches wetter than normal. For the year we are over 5 inches wetter than normal. A friend was bemoaning the end of summer the other day. I reminded her that we are still 3 1/2 months away from having a steady snow cover. The next several months should be rather enjoyable. No heat and bugs, just plenty of fall color and activities. Nature Note: My monarch butterfly should be ending its Chrysalis stage very soon. It’s been three weeks since I found it on a milkweed growing in the garden. I’m looking for weather/nature/outdoor pictures for my 2020 calendar. Have one? Email me at Watsonwx@aol.com.

My name is Skip Ford and I am, quite simply, a builder. I have a general contractor’s license, I am bonded and insured, and I have been in the business for well over 30 years. My father was in construction and taught me to be careful and honest in my work and my business dealings. I provide free estimates and can assist in the project design. I work closely with my team and feel that a ‘hands on’ approach provides you with the best quality product. I will work hard to help you realize the preceptions you have for your home. There is no limit on what I can do.
