Reduced energy by 20%

few years ago, Press Publications was part of a test group throughout our city on an energy efficiency program that resulted in a 20 percent reduction in energy usage. During this program we were a test group with Class 5 Energy. We were hoping to find more ways to reduce through continuing education of our staff and making sure we were maximizing our efforts. Most of the savings was accomplished by turning off computer equipment and printers each night, turning off lights, turning down the hot water heaters and programing thermostats. Although nothing was a golden goose, it all added up to savings. Over the years, we updated lighting and a new Publisher’s HVAC system. The kicker was using a Christmas light timer on the engine View block heaters for winter. Class 5 was successful in helping Carter Johnson us to reduce. The energy kit provided includes posters, DVDs, and informational cards to be placed near thermostats and light switches. The goal is to build awareness with staff and change habits. Some of the tips and tricks involved de-lamping areas by checking a room with a light meter and unplugging lights or leaving them off. Other tips were to unplug cords, as there is phantom energy drain from anything that is plugged in. Class 5 also suggested trying to have a no-energy potluck, done by serving foods that don’t require energy usage to make, like salads. This spring we continued our efforts by installing new LED lights in our sign out front and installing motion sensor lights in our bathrooms. Take a look at your energy bill and challenge yourself to reduce it this fall. Next Big Thing Our next goal is to understand our carbon footprint. Each week we coordinate more than 125 youth and adult carriers who deliver our products throughout our neighborhoods. We have vehicles that pick up the newspapers from our printing plant, and vehicles that deliver them to our carriers and to more than 300 newsstand locations. We also have a team of journalists, marketers and photographers who are out in the field each day. For years you’ve known about our substantial recycled fibers and soy-based inks. It’s now time to re-think the vehicle choices we use in the field. It’s clear our full-size, three-quarter ton vans with V-8 engines are not the best options. We hope to convert to electric vehicles that will help us improve our carbon footprint. Although it’s a lofty goal, we have a duty to continually strive to do better for our business, our community and our environment.

Celebrating 10 years of life-changing success

ach day we seem to hear about lives being lost or families destroyed by drug abuse. Despite the many efforts and progress made, rarely do we hear about those who escape the devastating effects of addiction. In the past couple weeks I attended an Open House celebrating the 10year anniversary of Anoka County’s Award Winning Enhanced Treatment Program (ETP). ETP was develMovers & oped in response to the Meth epidemic Shakers that swept across our county and Rhonda the state. It began Sivarajah as one of ﬁve pilot projects in Minnesota. Legislators had the idea that if a program and approach was found to be successful it could then be replicated across the state. Unfortunately, memories are short and focus at the state moves to the next crisis in the news, so this incredibly successful program has never been replicated. Personally, I would love to see others offer ETP, but I know in my heart it is only successful because of our incredibly dedicated staff that is passionate about their work. The mission of the Enhanced Treatment Program is: Changing the lives of women and their children through compassion and

accountability. But, what does that really mean? First of all, the women who are in the program must attend every single session and must show up on time. No excuses allowed. They cannot be using Methadone or Sub Oxone. The women are required to look for work and for stable housing. There are random drug tests throughout the program. They are required to comply with the requirements outlined in their court orders. At the same time, they are shown caring and compassion. For many participants this is the ﬁrst time they have truly felt as though someone cared about them. The Enhanced Treatment Program is an intensive one-year program which focuses on a mother’s chemical abuse which affects her ability to parent. The program provides support services and resources. There is individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral programming, life and problem solving skills, transitional planning, community resources and pro-social recreational activities. The women are taught to have fun without the use of drugs. They are taught to set goals and develop plans to reach those goals. There have been 206 participants over the past 10 years and the results are groundbreaking! At intake, 29% of the women retained custody of their children—at exit, 95% retained custody. At intake, 10% of the women

were employed—at exit, 94% were employed. At intake, 17% of the women had stable appropriate housing—at exit, 96% had stable housing. At intake, only 2% had no new criminal charges—at exit 97% had no new criminal charges. 98.8% of drug tests conducted to date on participants have been negative for any substances. 92% of participants who successfully graduated from the program have had no new drug offenses and continue to be sober. This shows the program has long-term benefits. Society benefits through a reduction of criminal involvement and a reduction of days children are in foster care. In addition, these women are now active participants in the community contributing in a positive way. Statistics are great, but what is more impactful is hearing the stories of women who have found success because of ETP--women who are excited about buying their first home, women who light up talking about buying school supplies so their children are ready for school, and women who know that they have broken a cycle of addiction and can offer their children an incredible future. Congratulations to these courageous women! We are proud of you!

Through my eyes

s the completion of my twelfth year with the Centennial Lakes police department approaches, I ďŹ nd it ironic how quickly the time has gone by, yet the grey hairs stick around and multiply at an alarming rate. Unfortunately those grey hairs are not the only alarming thing for me these days. During a recent shift I was caught off guard when stopping at a local business to get a sandwich for lunch. As I was walking into the business, a black man and his young son asked me for a minute. The man informed me that when his son observed me pull into the parking lot with my squad car, he commented to his father â€œdonâ€™t shoot me.â€? The father, being alarmed by this comment, asked me to talk with his son. In our conversation the three of us agreed we are all on the same side

and color knows no boundaries. With a ďŹ rm handshake and pat on the back we wished each other good day and went about our business. As my shift moved along I found myself Movers & dwelling on the young boyâ€™s comment about Shakers me; that he could Russell Blanck think of me in such a terrible light at such a young age, not knowing that in my career I have worked with area youth quite frequently and spent a great deal of time in our local elementary schools speaking with children. I do have to admit that over my career there have been several people who dislike me, but they were given

The biggest mistake we can make as human beings is to dislike each other because of skin color or chosen profession. a reason to per se â€” a trafďŹ c citation, an arrest, being unable to save a loved one using CPR and other â€œlife-savingâ€? efforts. But wearing a badge that I worked very hard to get is no reason to dislike me. I must also admit that I am human, just like those who choose to read my words. With that said, I make mistakes, you make mistakes, it is part of life. The biggest mistake we can make as human beings is to

dislike each other because of skin color or chosen profession. I do commend this young boyâ€™s father for speaking with me about a topic that is certainly in the news frequently as of late, but not always something easy to discuss socially. Although it was a very difďŹ cult contact for me personally with two members of the public, ultimately I view it as an encouraging one. We never exchanged names in our conversation, but I thank you both for talking with me. We all need to keep moving forward, working together, and believe that each and everyoneâ€™s life matters.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Protect dolphins Dolphins are known as one of the smartest and most majestical animals on planet earth. With their intelligence and playful attitude, no wonder why these amazing creatures have drawn awe to many people. There are consequences associated with being a dolphin, such as captivity, getting caught in nets from fisherman and, sadly, slaughter. In Taji, Japan every September through March, hundreds of thousands of dolphins are killed purposely by fisherman. I encourage others to watch a documentary called, "The Cove" to learn more

about the terrible things that occur. Some great people from an organization called The Dolphin Project travel to Japan to monitor the cove and make dolphin releases. This is an important issue that we all need to be looking at and not be turning away, because if we don't try to fi x this, future generations will not get to see these amazing creatures. And if you are asking yourself, "Why should I care? We live so far away from the ocean!â€? Go to www.dolphinproject.com/ takeaction to see how you can make a difference. Julie Rood Circle Pines

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A group of Centennial students won the national Drone Club Team championship last Saturday. QuadSquad, their chosen team name, prevailed in a competition sponsored by Academy of Modular Aeronautics (AMA) with a field of 75 teams from six regions, 12 of whom dueled at nationals in Muncie, Indiana Their prize was $2,500. QuadSquad is mentored by Xiao Chen. Team members are Benjamin Chen (captain, mission director and pilot), Niranjan Sankar and Mark Zhou (pilots), Shant Sabame (mission planner specialist), Ritvik Maritally (mission planner assistant) and Jason Li (spotter). The competition is called “Search and Rescue.” The teams operate drones, called quadcopters, to locate and describe items on a search list, with a bonus point awarded at the end for finding a mystery item in a small box using final data processing of recorded video. QuadSquad won the the Midwest Region in Fargo , North Dakota on June 4 to advance to nationals.

At nationals, teams dealt with rain that interfered with equipment and caused delays, along with high winds, and QuadSquad proved best at navigating through the problems. Chen described the last three minutes, as they were incurring penalties and their telemetry connection had failed: “Shant and Ritvik had to wave the laptop above their heads to get an updated GPS location to record. We probably looked like a bunch of clowns by then,” Chen said. “We had all just agreed that the white circle was the mystery object when, during ascent, we saw an upside down airplane nearby. We were certain that it was the mystery object, but with two minutes left, we didn’t know if we could get there and fly back in time.” Chen added, “We decided to try. We quickly flew to the object, then continued waving the laptop around until we finally received an update from telemetry to get the object’s GPS location. Switching to manual mode, we flew the quadcopter home at full speed, landing with less than a minute to spare.”

Baseball Trei Driskell, Centennial junior-tobe, was a robust cleanup hitter for the VFW baseball team in its drive to the state championship Aug. 11-14.

You also don’t have to have the same brand for all the clubs in your bag. I play with a Tour Edge driver and fairway wood, Adams hybrids, Calloway irons and Titleist Vokey wedges. Different companies specialize in different clubs, so you may love the driver and hate the irons. When choosing irons, you have three options. Player irons have a very narrow sole and are made of forged steel. Back in the day, they were called blades. These are designed for better players who want to be able to work the ball. Game improvement irons have a somewhat wider sole with a larger cavity back. These irons can hide quite a few problems in a players swing, but you still need to compress the ball at impact to hit good shots. Super game improvement irons have the widest sole and are the most offset. Players with slow clubhead speed and shallow angles of approach will get the most distance and better launch angle with this design. It’s personal choice as to how many hybrids you carry in your bag. I think higher handicappers benefit from swapping out their 3, 4 and 5 irons for hybrids. It’s a better launch angle and they’re easier to hit out of the rough. I also think players would benefit by using something else besides the standard pitching and sand wedge that comes with every set. Remember, wedges are your scoring clubs so an investment in two or three wedges will knock strokes off of your game. Two companies own the wedge market, and they truly are superior over their competitors: Titleist and Cleveland. So if you are in the market for new clubs, the end of the season is a great time to find deals. Just make sure you find a good club fitter, and don’t just buy them because you like the way they look. This column is my last for the season. I have truly enjoyed writing for you, and a big thanks to all of you who sent encouraging words. I will be here through October so if you’d like one last look at your swing, please get in touch.

I’m often asked by clients if new clubs will help them play better. The answer in most cases is yes. Technology has advanced so far so fast that it’s often worth investing in new clubs every five years. A good set will run you anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000. That’s a lot of money, but I look at it this way: If you play twice a week for five years (22 weeks a season is 44 rounds, which is what an average golfer plays) the cost will be $7 to $9 per round. That’s less than a sleeve of balls! The next question is always which clubs to buy. Most people are swayed by the names they hear all the time. Calloway, Tee time Taylor Made, Titleist and Ping. Bye bye with Nike. That’s because they spend more coach money on advertising Betsy than everyone else put together. The Larey best clubs to buy are the ones you hit the best. The only way to determine that is to try them. If you’re going to spend that kind of money, find a reputable club fitter. I’ve had many clients this summer that don’t need or want a full set. If you walk, you may only want a couple of woods, a hybrid, four irons, two wedges and a putter. If you’re only going to replace part of your set, I’d do irons first. In addition, if money is an issue you can also get fitted for used clubs. Many times an average golfer is more accurate off the tee with a three or five wood. So I’m not a believer that everyone has to hit a driver off the tee. I’d give up 20 yards in distance to be in the middle of the fairway any day of the week! I’m often asked where to go for clubs. I send all my clients (and myself!) to 2nd Swing in Minneapolis. They are, hands down, the best club fitters I’ve ever worked with. They use the same equipment as the Tour Van, which fits LPGA and PGA Professionals. I prefer these guys over the big box golf stores because they have better fitting equipment, a lot more experience, and they are not trying to sell you something they have in stock.

Local book store still in business BY JOLENE FRID CONTRIBUTING WRITER

LEXINGTON – The Bookateria – a new and used book store located in the Lovell building since 1984 – is still in business, despite the Lovell Building being up for sale. Laurie Faber, owner since 1990, said that many customers have stopped coming to the store since word got out that the building is up for sale. Faber doesn’t plan on closing the Bookateria until the building is officially sold. “I wasn’t planning on retiring. Let’s put it that way,” she noted. Faber bought the store when her late friend sold it. “I like books and I like people,” she said. The cozy store is small, but bursting with a range of

genres from romance, to non-fiction, to fantasy, to a special section for juniors and teens. Though she’s sought a new location for the store, Faber said it’s not easy finding a place with affordable rent and she plans to retire altogether once the building is sold. Faber added other prospective locations charge two to three times what she currently pays, which won’t allow her to afford staying open. According to USA Today, the biggest competition for independently owned book stores is the massive online discounter Amazon.com. According to online news magazine The Nation, two decades ago, there were about 4,000 independent bookstores in the United States; only

about 1,900 remain. Four of Faber’s friends owned bookstores that went out of business in the Twin Cities. “I think all small businesses are becoming a thing of the past. It’s sad,” she said. She accredits the struggle mainly to unreasonable rent costs. However, a growing "buy local" movement across the country is helping all kinds of locally owned stores keep their doors open. Though Faber is not happy she will one day have to close her doors, she’ll continue selling books and accepting 2015 titles and newer, in addition to older titles written by popular authors such as David Baldacci and James Patterson. Mystery and suspense are her current best sellers.

CENTENNIAL SECURITY: District protecting students and staff FROM PAGE 1

just want to create a safe environment for students.” Lino Lakes Public Safety Director John Swenson said, “The new automated check-in system will afford visitors the opportunity to very quickly check into buildings, will afford the school district an opportunity to secure all the doors and, from a law enforcement perspective, will enable us to know exactly who is in the building if we are responding to an event.” In previous years all the doors to the district's buildings were unlocked and visitors were supposed to check in at the office. “The front doors on all of our buildings were wide open, so whether that was a desired visitor or any visitor, we knew that it wasn't the best practice and procedure to have in our buildings going forward,” said Director of Technology Mike Christensen. Now when arriving at any of the buildings all of the doors, with the exception of the lobby doors, will be locked. Upon arriving, the visitor

must approach the kiosk and swipe their ID or manually enter their information. The visitor then has to select a reason for the visit and an ID badge will be printed. The person then hits the call button on the kiosk and the office staff will unlock the door. Superintendent Brian Dietz estimated with an ID the process takes about 15 seconds; without an ID, the process can take around a minute, because the visitor has to call and tell office staff why they are visiting. The visitor will then enter into the office, where an office staff member will print them a badge. “We are taking the steps to secure our doors and ensure that we are much more intentional about identifying who is in our buildings and why,” Dietz said. “It gives us the opportunity to pause, reflect and make sure that we have all of the information that we need before someone comes in our building. We know that 99.9 percent of people who are coming into our building are coming in for the right reasons, but in today's day and age you have

to account for that .1 [percent] that might not be.” When the visitor leaves the building, they must swing by the office to give staff their badge. The badge has a QR code that the staff member will scan, which will check the visitor out of the system. “We are really proud of the fact that this provides that layer of security that we feel like we need, but more importantly, it puts us in a really strong position to secure our doors and allow students and staff to do what they need to do, and that is to educate and have a great experience in our school system,” Dietz said. Other security improvements, which were funded by the 2014 capital levy, include building access control, security cameras, exterior and emergency LED lighting in public spaces and a VoIP phone system. In order to control who is entering the buildings, all of the staff in the district have been given a badge that they must scan in order to gain access to the building. Christensen estimates that around 355 security cameras were added to

the district's facilities. In the past, the middle school and high school had limited security cameras and none of the elementary schools had security cameras. “It allows us to be more accurate and to be able to look back and see. If there is an incident, we can get accurate information and respond appropriately to it,” he said. The district can also share security camera footage with the police departments should they need it. The VoIP phone system has increased the district’s capabilities to communicate with others. If there is an emergency and the district has to get a message out to staff, it can be sent through a phone's speaker, the intercom system or even by text message. “Safety and security of our students, buildings, staff and our five communities are our number one priority,” Dietz said. “We couldn't have done this without the support in the 2014 capital levy, so I am so appreciative for the investment they have made. We have taken the things we said we were going to do, and we have implemented them.”

when you have a community. In my own life, I am a busy person and sometimes I just get tunnel vision and don't say hi to my neighbor even though they are sitting in the yard because I have to go. I think it gets us all out and chatting and a

reason to bond,” Zaworski said. “What a cool thing to bring everybody together. It makes it that much more intimate and neat. It is a well-rounded family event.” People can sign up for the doggy parade online; cost is $5. Categories

Teams can sign up for Minute to Win it games online in advance or on the day of the event. Although all the details are not yet squared away, Zaworksi says she is hoping for a tug-of-war contest, a watermelon eating contest or pumpkin decorating contest, as well as a car show. Cowboy's Saloon, the Lexington Firemen's Relief Association and the city (through the liquor store fund) are the main contributors to the event. A few businesses have also agreed to be sponsors. Zaworski said the event is still in need of

more sponsors and volunteers. She added if youth groups, church groups, nonprofit organizations or sports teams volunteer at the event, they will contribute money to their organization. “It really has been so energizing, because everybody has been excited and willing to help. It has been really fun. Everyone I've talked to has been so genuinely nice and so excited that this could turn into something big,” she said. “The more volunteers I have, the more things we can facilitate. If we don't have the volunteers, we will have to cut some things.” The event will also feature a silent auction in which the proceeds will be used for a 2017 Fall Fest. The hope is to

turn the event into an annual occurrence that residents look forward to. Zaworksi said her hope for the event is “that we have a lot of people come and check it out, and that the community is excited enough to generate a 2017 festival, maybe even more than one day. Hopefully everyone will have a good time, tell their neighbors and come on out. We are praying for good weather.” “Hopefully it will be a fun-filled family day for everybody. The goal is to put this on every year, and hopefully we will be able to revive it and keep it going,” Kurth said. “I would like nothing more than to see the street packed with families having a good time.”

ADMINISTRATOR: Recognized for improving quality of life for residents FROM PAGE 1

“the wonderful relationships I have built with people in the community, staff and council members. I will treasure those relationships forever,” he said. “Success takes a lot of people, and I was only just a part of making this a great community.” At its Aug. 23 meeting, the City Council approved a resolution recognizing Keinath's efforts and gave him a plaque of appreciation. Mayor Dave Bartholomay also awarded Keinath the Circle Pines Mayor's Award for Community Leadership, which he estimated he had given out five times during his tenure. Bartholomay said the award

was “for 31 years of unwavering commitment to improving the quality of life of the citizens of Circle Pines and the customers of Centennial Utilities. For wisdom, experience and steady guidance in working to provide the highest quality of service to the community.” He added, “We really do appreciate all you have done. You have lived in this community, been a part of it and you have made this such a much better place to live, to grow and to raise your kids in than it was 31 years ago when you arrived.” Councilman Richard Runbeck said, “Jim is a master of presenting information in a very neutral way. I want to commend you on that skill.

It is better than anyone else I have met.” Keinath is selling his house and moving to a home on Long Lake near Longville, Minnesota. “I don't know that I have any specific plans. I am going to just dial back for six months and then figure out what comes next. I have a lot of interests and I haven't had as much time to pursue them as I would've liked, and now I do,” he said. Some of those interests include fi shing, hunting grouse and deer, and keeping an eye on the market. Keinath will not be a stranger, as he has agreed to stay on with the city on a quarterly contract basis to help with the day-to-day operations of the natural gas system and to help

make decisions about gas flows and gas purchases. “When Patrick feels he is up to speed and the Utility Commission agrees, I will fade off into the sunset,” he said. For the past couple of weeks Keinath has been working closely with Antonen, preparing him to step into his shoes. “I can see how well Jim has run the city. I thank him for being around to really show me the ropes. I've told him many times I plan on being a sponge and absorbing as much information from him as possible, and he assures me his phone will work up north,” Antonen said. “I really look forward to being here for hopefully a long time.”

“BEN-HUR” (PG-13) [SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AND DISTURBING IMAGES.] — When a prominent, wealthy Jewish prince (Jack Huston) takes the blame for an arrow attack on a high-ranking Roman Army officer (James Cosmo) by a tenacious zealot (Moises Arias) in 28 A.D. and his well-respected, adopted brother (Toby Kebbell), who left Jerusalem to become a Centurion, charges him with treason and arrests his mother (Sofia Black D’Elia) and sister (Ayslet Zurer) in this attention-grabbing, gut-wrenching, superbly acted, well-paced, violent, 3D, 123-minute remake of the 1959 classic, he ends up as a slave rowing on a ship for five years, eventually challenges his brother to compete in a brutal chariot race with the support and teaching of a rich, knowledgeable African (Morgan Freeman) and finds solace and peace in his life after meeting Jesus (Rodrigo Santoro) and watching him crucified.

I spent years in banking, recruiting, sales and account management. About 10 years ago I started Rat Pack Entertainment. My full-time profession now is a combination of running [this business] and my part-time role as a children’s ministry director [at a large church]. Q: What prompted your switch this profesn, and why Rat Pack sion, sic? music? A:: I feel like God has given me me ability to some g and entertain sing ple, and I love people, o it. As long to do as I can remember I’ve been drawn to the music of the at crooners — great nk Sinatra, Frank an Dean rtin, Martin, Nat King e, Cole, dy Andy

Williams, etc. The music is timeless and can be enjoyed by people of every age. I don’t impersonate anybody, but I do like to throw in a few fun facts and trivia about what the original artists and times were like back then. Q: What’s your territory and what kinds of events do you book most often? A: I pretty much go wherever the customer wants me. Private and corporate events, wedding receptions, assisted living facilities and restaurants make up the majority of my business. The unique thing about me is the fact you don’t have to choose between a live entertainer and a D.J. Q: What are you enjoying most about your business? What are you ﬁnding most challenging? A: I love all things retro and I love to

keep the style and memories alive. The most challenging thing is getting the word out to an ever-expanding audience. Q: What are your biggest strengths as an entertainer? A: While I am certainly not comparing myself to Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, I do feel like I share a desire to include the audience in my performance with fun banter and getting out in the crowd to sing and entertain close up. Q: Do you have a family? What do you do you in your spare time? A: I am married to an w awesome woman. She along with our two wonderful kids are a huge W blessing. When I’m not li to spend singing, I like m family, time with my m watch old movies and read abou entertainbooks about histor ment history. Q: What What’s in your ﬁveyear plan? A: I’d like to c continue to grow and enh hance my busin ness and record a CD including my favorite songs. —Compiled by Michelle Miron
