SIGNS AROUND TOWN: Thank local police PAGE 20
Local faces make up the Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER
Many dancers dream that one day they will dance on a professional platform. For two local young women, that dream has come true as they cheer on the Minnesota Vikings in the new US Bank Stadium. This season's team has 42 members; 28 of them are dancers who perform on the field during the game and the other 14 are ambassadors who make appearances throughout the stadium during the game. All of the cheerleaders had to go through an intense monthlong tryout process before they were selected to carry the title of a Minnesota Viking Cheerleader (MVC). The first part of the process is open auditions, where anyone can try out for the team. During the process, participants form groups of four and learn a routine and perform for judges. Some are then cut. The women who make it through this stage learn another routine, and the process continues until an ideal number of participants is reached. Then comes the training camp in which the future cheerleaders have to participate in an interview with representatives from the Vikings organization and a photo shoot, then a swim suit and black dress competition. The final step in the process is a public performance at the Mall of America. “It is very long and stressful, but it goes so fast and it is so fun,” Mariah said. Mariah, 25, Lino Lakes For Mariah, being an MVC has been a lifelong goal.

For over 60 years the Centennial Community Food Shelf (CCFS) has served the community to provide nourishment to people. By 2017, the organization hopes to reach more people through a brand new countywide program. “On a monthly basis, the heads of each of the food shelves (within Anoka County) get together and look at how we can network together and what they can provide by working together,” said CCFS President Ron Koon. The five area food shelves, including Southern Anoka County Assistance (SACA), Community Emergency Assistance Programs (CEAP), Anoka County Brotherhood Council (ACBC), North Anoka County Emergency Food Shelf (NACE) and CCFS, received a grant from Hunger Solutions. After receiving the grant, the five organizations formed a consortium, Anoka CAN (Connect and Nourish) and started a new program, Anoka CAN Deliver in January 2016. The food delivery program provides food and resources to homebound seniors (62 and over who meet specific income guidelines), and works to build SEE COMMUNITY FOOD SHELF, PAGE 3

St. Mark Lutheran Church gives back on 9/11 BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER
LINO LAKES — On the 15th anniversary of 9/11 around 40 members of St. Mark Lutheran Church gathered to make a difference in the lives of both children and the homeless. Even though the event was not specifically aimed to be about 9/11, it made the volunteer work even more meaningful. That afternoon, church members gathered for God's Work. Our Hands, which is a dedicated day of service put on by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). “It is really cool to do something that is churchwide. We have never gotten to really participate because of our Fall Festival, so we wanted to do something that was easy enough that people were willing to do it,” said church member Tricia Niesche. “We also wanted to make sure that we were benefiting causes that were important to us.” Even though the church has done multiple service projects, for the past five years it was unable to participate in God's Work. Our Hands because it took place during the congregation’s Fall Festival. One of the causes that near and dear to the church members’ hearts is Camp Noah, which is put on by Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota. The camp is a locally hosted event for elementary-age children whose communities have been impacted by disaster, and aims to bring hope and healing to the communities. Recently, the camp was held in Garland, Texas — which was affected by a tornado — and Dewitt, Nebraska, a town dealing with flooding. The group made 16 tie-fleece blankets, which will be donated to Camp Noah to be given to the participating children as part of a survival kit. “They are so soft. It is special and a
memento that the kids can take with them; it is kind of like a warm hug,” Niesche said. Niesche, who has been a member of the church for 22 years, said it is important for the church members to get involved with volunteer initiatives. “It gets us outside of ourselves; it gets our focus somewhere besides right here,” she said. “I think all of us need an opportunity to feel as though we are making a difference in somebody else's life.” The other cause the church supported was The Sandwich Project Minnesota, of the Minneapolis Homeless Ministry. The project was established with the goal of feeding 150 homeless people in Minneapolis as many times each year as possible, with the ultimate goal of doing it every day. Today, the project feeds about 4,500 people per week through various shelters and food shelves. St. Mark Lutheran Church has helped out with the project in the past and each time the number of sandwiches made has increased. The fi rst time, volunteers made 200 sandwiches; the second time, 300 sandwiches; and this time, 500 sandwiches. Glenice Allison, who has been a member of the church for 27 years, wanted to help because, “I think it is good to help people who don't have food. This is not work, it is fun.” During the sandwich-making process she enjoyed the conversation with her friends. “I like working with my friends here. As a church, this is what we should be doing; we should be helping others who aren't as fortunate. I'm glad I can do something to help. It makes you feel good,” she said. Allison added, “My overall hope is that the people who get this enjoy it; that it feeds the soul as well as the body.”

COMMUNITY FOOD SHELF: New program to benefit local seniors FROM PAGE 1
long-lasting relationships so seniors needs and wants are met and they are able to be active in the community. “It is not like Meals on Wheels, where they just go and drop (meals) off, but they actually stop in and visit with them and try to tie them back into the community and get them information.” Koon said. “We are trying not only to get seniors the food they need, but also connect them back into the community.” Anoka CAN plans to recruit and train volunteer drivers who will not only deliver food boxes but will also build relationships, provide safety checks and bring the community to seniors during their home visits. ACBC, CEAP, NACE and SACA were chosen to pilot the program. Koon said the hope is that CCFS will have the program up and running by 2017. To learn more about the program, contact CEAP coordinator at 763-783-4942. Until the program is up and running, CCFS will continue to serve community members as it has during its longstanding history of providing nourishment. The organization began in the 1950s when Ed Bloomstrand collected food and left baskets on the doorsteps of needy families for the holidays. In addition to serving clients on a oncea-month basis with a traditional food shelf

with distributions twice a week, the organization also distributes baskets of holiday meals to clients three to four times a year. A newer program, which was implemented in 2013, is the Powerpack program. The program is a weekend food program for students to take home a bag of nonperishable food items at the end of every week during the school year. The pro-

Electric promise
E
ver since I had the opportunity to take a ride in Tom Birkeland’s electric powered, vintage 1974 VW beetle (back in 2008), I’ve been fascinated with the potential applications for electric vehicles in everyday life. As we quietly zipped along in traffic past a gas station on Highway 61 in White Bear Lake, I remember thinking if someone can put together (in their home garage) a viable electric vehicle for commuting for under $10,000, surely a visionary entrepreneur or the major players in the automotive industry could come up with something that’s accessible and practical for a larger portion of the population. In the intervening years progress has been made, most notably by the Angle of Tesla corporation owned by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Demonstrating View that speed and performance wouldn’t be an issue, the Tesla Roadster was Paul Dols introduced in 2008, followed by the S and d X models d l iin 2012. Because of the immediate torque supplied by an electric motor, the roadster gained attention for its quick acceleration — rivaling the performance of some of the most exotic cars available at the time. According to Wikipedia, the Roadster was the first mass produced all-electric automobile to use lithium-ion batteries and the first production all-electric car to travel more than 200 miles per charge. Now, all of the major automobile manufacturers have an electric vehicle in their model lineups. Tesla has been taking orders for the 2017 Model 3 aimed at the mass market; plus Apple co-founder (and Tesla owner) Steve Wozniak recently posted rave reviews for the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV on the Green Car Reports website, so it appears that affordability and wider market acceptance may soon become a reality. Last month, at Tousley Motorsports in White Bear Lake, I had the opportunity to test drive the first electric-powered motorcycle produced by a major manufacturer — the 2016 Victory Empulse TT. The bike is essentially a revamped Brammo Empulse, which was originally produced by a small motorcycle company Polaris (Victory’s parent company) acquired last year. So I would have a fresh and direct comparison, I rode over to the test ride on my trusty 1994 Honda CB1000, an inline four, naked street bike that I’ve put more than 50,000 trouble-free miles on over the years. As I drove to Tousley, I hoped that my acquired riding habits would translate and not hinder the experience of riding an electric motorcycle. The first thing I noticed when I turned on the Empulse was the lack of noise. The instrument cluster lights up, indicating that the bike is on and how much charge is left in the battery pack and then you’re ready to go. I was impressed with the quick takeoff and immediate responsiveness of the Empulse as a group of three of us rode around local lakes and then onto the freeway. The wind and a whirring sound from the electric motor were all you could hear as the bike easily accelerated up to freeway speed and effortlessly merged into traffic. Overall the handling, ergonomics and response of the electric bike equaled the experience of riding a conventional motorcycle. The only drawback is the battery range. That said, I realistically think the Empulse would make an excellent bike for commuting in the summer months. I also think it’s admirable that a Minnesota-based company is taking a chance on emerging technology. After experiencing the quiet efficiency and considerable power of the Empulse, it felt like I was firing up a steam engine when I climbed back on my motorcycle for the trip back home. Riding the Empulse was an encouraging and tangible experience, pointing realistically, I believe, toward the future possibilities for electric vehicles. However, the experience was somewhat tempered by some practical realities, including the current limits in battery range and the real (economic and environmental) cost of the electricity that powers the grid we all rely on daily.

Practice empathy
n Denmark, students regularly take a break from their studies during the school day to bake a cake and talk about their problems. It’s called Klassens Tid or Class Time. That may seem strange to our American way of education which is highly focused on test results and individual achievements. How can baking a cake and stopping work to chat be productive? But according to research, the is essential Movers & break to the development of a key trait that Shakers will benefit their Jerry Hromatka students for the rest of their lives – empathy. The benefits of empathy aren’t always obvious - especially in a country like the United States that highly values individualism and efficiency. However, recent studies from Duke University and Penn State revealed that empathetic kids are more likely to graduate from high school and have full time jobs. Students lacking this skill were more likely to drop out, get in trouble with law enforcement and need government assistance. Rachel Cain, Director of Outpatient Mental Health at Northeast Youth & Family Services, says that empathy is fundamental to healthy relationships with friends, family, co-workers and even strangers. She adds that it is different from sympathy, which is feeling sorry for someone or something.
Empathy is the willingness to try and understand what the other person is thinking and feeling; it doesn’t mean you agree with them or feel the same way, it’s simply showing the respect of trying to understand the world from another person’s perspective. In our current political climate that seems like a skill we all could brush up on between now and the November election. Cain adds that many arguments occur due to a lack of empathy. In an argument, each person is trying to prove a point and can have a hard time listening to or understanding the potential validity of the other person’s point of view. This leads to anger, not understanding, and gets in the way of problem solving. By teaching empathy early and often, there is a greater chance that a person will be an effective problem solver and understand the needs of others. For example, during Klassens Tid in Denmark the teacher may take the lead in identifying problematic issues, but all students are encouraged to bring up issues that are negatively affecting the functioning of the group. It is the students’ job to work together, involve everyone, and come up with strategies to address the problem. While empathy is best instilled at a young age, it is never too late to learn this skill, Cain says. Some people may be naturally empathetic but everyone can learn how to include others in conversations, ask respectful questions about feelings and opinions, identify areas of agreement and disagreement and learn new ways to work with people they might not

ordinarily get along with. At NYFS, we believe that empathy is a critical skill for our clients and our staff to exercise regularly. While it is considered a “soft” skill, learning and maintaining empathy can sometimes be hard work. And while we teach it, we also need to learn it as well. Over the past year our community has been sponsoring gatherings using a model called Marnita’s Table, that fosters cross-cultural connections through intentional social interactions over a shared meal. Sounds a little bit like Klassens Tid, doesn’t it? These gatherings are intended to break down barriers of race, class and culture and build authentic, positive and productive relationships. They literally provide everyone a seat at the table to connect, communicate and create longterm sustainable solutions that benefit the entire community. None of that would be possible without a healthy dose of empathy. (And there’s always good food on the table, too!) Because of these intentional, empathetic interactions, attendees have helped to build relationships between police and the communities they serve, youth are inspired to improve their grades and go to college and they have even helped employers find and retain employees. It’s amazing what a little empathy, and a lot of hard work, can do. For more information about Marnita’s Table, check out marnitastable.org.

Fermented foods bolster friendly bacteria
W
e have a lot of bacteria in our gut, and thank goodness for these little guys. Most of them are good and not the kind that make us sick. The happy, friendly bacteria that mostly live in our colon carry out very important tasks such as produce vitamins, digest food that we wouldn’t be able to otherwise, and keep our immune systems strong. They may also protect us from irritable bowel diseases, obesity and other chronic diseases. Interestingly, each of us has a different ‘proďŹ le’ of gut bacteria, meaning different types and different amounts of each type of bacteria. Many of the aspects that determine what types of bacteria live in our gut are not controlled by us—for example, whether we were born by caesarian section, the genetics and lifestyle of our parents and environmental exposures. There are some things we can do, however, to promote healthful bacteria in our gut to optimize our health outcomes. One of those things is to eat a lot of whole, unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Another way to encourage a thriving, happy population of bacteria in your colon is to consume fermented foods. Fermentation is the process by which bacteria and yeast convert sugar into alcohol, acids, and gas. Over time, people have ďŹ gured out how to take advantage
of the fermentation process to create delicious, tangy beverages and foods. Below is a list of fermented foods to explore that your gut will thank you for. Yogurt is a commonly consumed fermented dairy product. Milk and bacteria are cultured together with heat, and over a short period of time, the milk thickens and becomes sour with the acids from the fermentation. Yogurt has two main species of bacteria, LacMovers and tobacillus and Strepalthough Shakers tococcus, sometimes more are Megan Baumler added in during processing. Many brands off yogurtt add dd ttoo much sugar to offset the sourness, so I recommend buying plain, unsweetened yogurt, and adding your own sweetness such as honey, maple syrup, jam or fruit. Yogurt can be eaten plain, mixed in smoothies or used in baking. I recommend one eightounce serving of yogurt daily to take advantage of the calcium, protein, and beneďŹ cial bacteria. KeďŹ r is another fermented dairy product, although it has a greater variety of bacteria and it also contains yeast. It is not as thick as yogurt, and it can be bubbly, since the bacteria produce carbon dioxide. It also con-
tains more protein than milk itself and regular yogurt (although not as much as Greek yogurt). Flavored commercial brands have added sugar though, and none of us need more sugar in our diet. I recommend plain keďŹ r that you can sweeten yourself at home by mixing with a little fruit or into a smoothie. KeďŹ r is extraordinarily easy and more economical to make at home —otherwise you can ďŹ nd it at most grocery stores. Kombucha is a beverage made with tea, sugar and a culture of bacteria and yeast. During the fermentation process, the bacteria and yeast consume the sugar, ultimately making it a low calorie beverage and a nice alternative to other bubbly beverages. Brewed tea (black or green) is stirred with sugar, and held at room temperature with the bacteria and yeast culture, and after several days, the tea becomes sour, bubbly and full of probiotics. Kombucha is easy and economical to make at home, but also can increasingly be found at most stores. The most common brand is GTs, although Festival Foods, Target and Cub carry some other local brands as well. If you are new to kombucha, plan to start by just having a couple ounces a day and working up to about eight to 16 ounces per day if you observe health beneďŹ ts and enjoy it. Kimchi is a fermented cabbage product that has the greatest diversity of bacteria in it, among the fermented
foods. It can be spicy or mild, depending on how it is made, and is usually served as a tasty condiment that adds exciting air to a meal. It can be purchased or made at home. Miso is a paste made through the fermentation of soybeans. The paste is often mixed with broth to create a slightly sour soup that is rich in amino acids and probiotics. There are different types of miso paste, and I found a nice variety available at Fresh and Natural Foods. The probiotics (and potential health beneďŹ ts) will be killed if the miso paste is mixed with boiling water, so be sure to follow the directions on the package. Tempeh is also a product made by fermenting soybeans although, unlike miso, tempeh is a solid, and can be used as a meat replacement because of its texture and protein content. Finally, Natto is another fermented soy product, not as well-known as miso or tempeh. The fermented soybeans contain less salt and more iron than miso, yet they have a bit of a slimy texture and stronger sour avor. Natto is typically eaten at breakfast mixed with eggs, or on top of salad. Feed your gut bacteria by regularly consuming a variety of fermented food products. They will thank you for it.

SEPTEMBER, 2016
You’ll fall in love with rugby, says organizer of kids’ program sport, an all-inclusive sport.” Babiash, 40, started a club for elementary through middle school kids in August. Six kids showed up the first practice, including his two sons. Centennial Rugby (nicknamed “Loons”) has grown to 26 players by word of mouth, and was recently accepted by Centennial Community Education as a partner. Kids from any community are welcome. Practices are set for Sundays at 6 p.m. at Rice Lake Elementary School from Sept. 25 through Halloween. Information is available at centennialrugby.com. “There are some collisions, but it’s not a barbaric sport,” said Babiash, reassuringly. “We always say that if a perfect game were played, there would be no tackles, because it’s about creating space (to run) and offloading the ball.”
BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Rugby, the ancient sport that entered the word “scrum” into the English language, whose players get tackled while not wearing pads or helmets and yet are much safer than in football, has arrived in the Quad Cities area. That is the mission of Lino Lakes resident Chris Babiash, who was an All-American with the Gophers club team and more recently coached the Edina High School club team to six state championships in six seasons. A zealot for the old English game, he extolls its virtues as follows: “We can find a position for any boy or girl of any size and shape, and any level of athletic ability. We teach the simple techniques like tackling and catching. Everyone falls in love with it. Rugby is a great team-culture
Babiash stepped down from his Edina coaching position in February because he was missing too much of his own kids’ sports. Beckett, 11, and Cal, 8, enjoyed attending the Edina matches and practices, and played some rugby in England on a business trip with their dad. “My kids had been bugging me, and my wife, and neighborhood kids,” said Babiash about organizing the club. His wife, Jen, who helps run the club, is a White Bear Lake native from a “very athletic family,” Babiash said. Her father is former pro wrestling star Jim Brunzell. Babiash, who played football in high school in Green Bay, WI, took up rugby at the University of Minnesota and wound up playing for 20 years, continuing with a topten ranked Division 1 USA Rugby team after college. His occupation is corporate promotions
along with running a business, Rugby Athletic, dealing in attire, equipment and other aspects of the sport. Centennial Rugby is not trying to poach kids from other sports. “We tell kids, don’t quit your other sport, and you’ll get better at them using rugby techniques,” said Babiash. He noted that Beckett had soccer and flag football games and rugby practice all in one recent Sunday. After the intensity of the Edina program and expectations to win championships, Babyish said it’s nice to have a “laid-back approach” now to just introduce the sport to youngsters. They are “keeping it cheap,” charging $40 per kid for a shirt, ball, and registration with USA Rugby. The goal is go have high school, middle school and elementary teams eventually, he said. They hope the high school will
let them play rugby at halftime of a football game in October as a promotion of the sport. Rugby generally has 15 athletes on each side, playing two 40-minute halves. The ball is leather and oval-shaped. Players can run with it, kick it or pass it, and can be tackled when carrying it. Tackling in rugby is done more by grasping the ballcarrier than by violent collision as in football. Fouls are called for anything dangerous such as punching, trampling, kicking or tripping players. Action never stops except when a “try” is scored by advancing the ball to the end zone, after which a “scrum” takes place —a pile of squirming bodies from which someone emerges with the ball, probably the most familiar and intriguing image of the sport to the general public.
CHRIS BABIASH
Kids scrimmage at a recent Centennial Rugby practice in this photo on the club's web site.
The city of Rugby in England is credited as the point of origin, although forms of the game go back centuries. Rugby is popular in Argentina, Australia, England, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Wales. As for the USA, Babiash said, rugby has been our “fastest-growing sport” in recent years. He’s providing kids an opportunity to see why.

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at its Sept. 13 meeting: • Read the oath of office to new City Administrator Patrick Antonen. Antonen replaced longtime administrator Jim Keinath after he officially retired Sept. 7. • Antonen relayed to the council that at the recent Park Board meeting the board discussed noise issues at Golden Lake Park and plans to delve further into the matter in the future. The board also received a letter from a high school student who had a concern about the upkeep of the outdoor ice arenas and the operational hours of the warming house. Mayor Dave Bartholomay explained that the Centennial Youth Hockey Association maintains the rinks and the city hasn't been able to staff the warming house for many years because it doesn't have the funds to do so. • Approved a resolution which declares the costs to be assessed and orders the preparation of the assessment roll for the 2016 street project. The project made improvements on East Golden Lake Road and East Golden Lake Lane and includes new streets, the reconstruction and installation of water mains, sanitary sewer and storm sewer; East Golden Lake Circle was improved by mill
and overlay. The city is responsible for paying $1,106,490 and $441,120 will be assessed to benefited property owners. Assessments will be payable in equal installments at an interest rate of 3.95 percent with the first installment payable on or before the first Monday in January 2017. • Approved a resolution calling for a public hearing regarding the 2016 street project assessments at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4 at City Hall. • Approved the second reading of an ordinance amending the home occupation ordinance. The council first discussed making changes to the ordinance at its July 26 meeting in order to make the ordinance more specific so it had less room for interpretation. The ordinance states, “Any professional, employment, service, or business use, either for or not for profit, conducted by an occupant or resident entirely within a dwelling or private garage, provided that the use is incidental and secondary to and does not change the primary residential use of the property.” • Approved the second reading of an ordinance amending contractor insurance requirements. The council first discussed the item at its Aug. 23; Councilman Matt Percy wanted to know if this requirement was compara-
ble to that of neighboring cities and Councilman Mike Schweigert wanted to find out how much of a burden the policy would be to contractors. Antonen explained that neighboring cities all had higher policies and that 99 percent of the contractors he checked with already carried that level of insurance whether the policy is changed or not. • Approved a change order for North Metro TV for the Electronic Field Production vehicle. In order to house the upgraded air conditioning unit, while still balancing adequate production space, weight distribution and spacing for equipment, North Metro TV requested upgrading from an F-550 chassis to a F-650 chassis for $9,980. North Metro TV also requested adding two safety features including a Diamond Brite platform that includes a tie-down point for camera operators wearing a harness ($685) and a stair hanger to mount the stairs on the back of the truck ($645). The total change request is $11,310 and the overall cost of the project is still below the $2 million budget. The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27 at City Hall.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Sept. 12 meeting: • Declared a proclamation for U.S. Constitution Week Sept. 17-23. Sept. 17 marks the 228th anniversary of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. • Accepted a donation from the Patriot Ride in the amount of $300. The Patriot Ride, which took place July 9, is an event to honor and remember all military personnel, veterans and fallen military in the state. • Authorized the city prosecutor GDO Law, formerly known as Geck, Duea and Olsen, to have access to Minnesota government data. As part of providing prosecution services, GDO Law must have access to electronic criminal and court documents. • Approved three items for the Woods Edge development, including the planned unit development final plan/final plat, development agreement and the second reading of an ordinance which vacates drainage and utility easements of The Village no. 3. Woods Edge is a residential development located north of the YMCA and south of I-35W. The development will include 112 townhome units on 11 acres. The easement on Outlot B is over an existing water main; the water main is being relocated and the easement is no longer needed. • Approved the preliminary plat and an accessory structure agreement for Chavez Preserve. The proposed development is a six-lot single-family residential subdivision. It contains one parcel (177 White Pine Road) that is approximately 2.20 acres in size. The site has one existing single-family home
and two detached accessory structures. The single-family home will be removed, and the agreement calls for the two accessory structures to also be removed within one year of final plat approval or 18 months from the date of preliminary plat approval. The agreement states that parcels can't be sold until the structures are removed. Mayor Jeff Reinert asked City Planner Katie Larsen if the Planning and Zoning Board heard any resident concerns. Larsen explained that one resident was concerned with how many trees would be cut down and another resident was concerned about what size homes would be built. Larsen explained that more trees would be planted and the new homes would fit in with the existing homes in the area. “If there are issues after the development is done ... come to the city and we will take care of those problems. It is on the city to make sure that everything is right before we sign off on the developer's work,” Reinert said. “There is no time limit either as far as mistakes that were made or things that need to be corrected.” • Approved the second reading of an ordinance that opts out of the requirements of the temporary housing provision of Minnesota Statutes. On May 12, Gov. Mark Dayton signed into law a bill that creates a new process for landowners to place a mobile residential dwelling on their property to serve as a temporary family health care dwelling. The catalysts for the bill were a desire to provide transitional housing for those with mental or physical impairments and the increased need for short-term care for
aging family members. Cities can either allow the law to go into effect or opt out, which would make the dwellings not permitted. • Called for a public hearing Oct. 10 on the proposed assessment for the Otter Lake Road extension project. On Aug. 22 the council approved the cost to be assessed and ordered the preparation of the assessment roll for the project. The total cost of the improvement is $714,560 and the cost to be paid by the city is $185,470. The amount proposed to be assessed is $529,090. In January 2013, the city entered into a petition and waiver agreement with CM Properties, developer of the McDonald's property, which covers the assessments ($301,147) on the east side of the road. BLINO LLC's assessment is $190,000 and Amy Hughes Ruggles and Mary Elizabeth Hughes' assessment is $37,946. The assessments are proposed
to be payable over 10 years at an interest rate of 5 percent. • Approved the second reading of an ordinance for the sale of land to Dupont Holdings LLC for the Fox Road extension. In April, the council approved the development agreement for the Saddle Club 2nd Addition, which required the future extension of Fox Road through property owned by Comcast. On Aug. 22 the council approved the acquisition of property from Comcast in the amount of $100,000. The next regular City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26 in the Council Chambers at City Hall. There will be a council work session before the meeting at 6 p.m. in the Community Room at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

knew I wanted to try out,” Mariah said. Mariah was involved in junior cheerleading when she was young and danced for the Centennial dance team until she graduated in 2009. She then attended the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth where she was on the dance team for all four years. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology in May. This year marks Mariah’s third season with the Minnesota Vikings. “I hoped to be here. It is something that I have always wanted to do and accomplish. I could only do my best, hope, work hard and see where it got me and it got me here,” she said. “I feel very lucky to be a part of this.” Mariah's favorite part of the experience is making various community appearances. “You get to meet so many different people and hear their stories. I recently went to the Hennepin County Medical Center to visit a cheerleader who broke her pelvis. We get to be something positive in somebody's life for a day and put a smile on somebody's face,” she said. Mariah is looking forward to performing this season in the US Bank Stadium, because she is used to performing in TCF Bank Stadium. “That place is amazing. It is our home. It is really cool to be somewhere where we can call home. We have our own locker room and it is purple everything,” she said. “It is a lot louder; the energy in there is just fantastic.” Something people might not know is that MVCs are required to be a full-time student or have a full-time job. Mariah currently works for a marketing agency as an economy assistant. Eve, 22, Lino Lakes Eve started dancing in the fifth grade. She danced on the Centennial dance team until she graduated in 2012 and then attended the University of St. Thomas, where she was on the dance team all four years. She graduated with her degree in political science in May. She now attends the University of Minnesota Law School. “As I graduated from St. Thomas, I realized I wanted to continue pursuing some sort of performance career whether it be in dance or another related aspect,” she said. While in college, a few of her coaches were MVCs so she got to hear about their experiences on the team and decided it was something in which she would like to take part. This is her first season with the Vikings. Her favorite part of the experience has been getting to know the other cheerleaders. “Once you make the team, you really do have 41 other sisters and best friends. They keep me sane when I am staying up super late studying for law school,” she said. Another thing people may not know about MVCs is that they are responsible for marketing the team in a positive manner.

Above left: This is Mariah's third season with the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders. Mariah, who is 25, is originally from Lino Lakes and danced on the Centennial dance team as well as the St. Scholastica dance team. Above right: This is Eve's rookie season as a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader. Eve, 22, is originally from Lino Lakes and danced on the Centennial dance team as well as the University of St. Thomas dance team.
“We really see ourselves as marketers for the Minnesota Vikings. Sometimes people refer to us as ‘the sideline distraction,’ but we really view ourselves as an essential tool of the organization in the way we market ourselves and the team,” Eve said. Another thing people might not realize is just how long a game day can be. “For a game at noon, we get to the stadium at 6 a.m. We have to have a full-team practice on the field before the game starts, (make) appearances in the tailgating lot or at various locations throughout the stadium before the game starts, do a pre-game show, get ready for the game, do the whole game and some girls do appearances after the game, so it can be a really, really long day,” Mariah explained. Like most part-time jobs, the MVCs clock in whenever they are working, including practices, appearances, team meetings, performances and committee work (public relations, junior cheer, fitness) as well as the games. In addition, they receive gym memberships, tanning, hair and skin care and cosmetics. MVCs are also provided with practice and performance attire, boots, poms, tights, beauty products and two season tickets.
Editor’s note: The Minnesota Vikings do not release the last names of the cheerleaders for their protection.

The total amount of the proposed assessment is $529,093.00. Adoption by the Council of the proposed assessment may occur at the hearing. Such assessment is proposed to be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of 10 years, the first of the installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in January 2017, and will bear interest at the rate of 5 percent per annum from the date of the adoption of the assessment resolution. To the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from the date of the assessment resolution until December 31, 2017. To each subsequent installment when due shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments. The property owner may at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the county auditor, pay the entire assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the City. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption of this assessment. The property owner may at any time thereafter, pay to the City the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which such payment is made. Such payment must be made before November 15 or interest will be charged through December 31 of the succeeding year. If the property owner decides not to prepay the assessment before the date given above the rate of interest that will apply is 5 percent per year. The right to partially prepay the assessment according to City Code Section 303.11 is available. The proposed assessment roll is on file for public inspection at the City Clerk’s office. Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting. No appeal to district court may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The Council may upon such notice consider any objection to the amount of a proposed individual assessment at an adjourned meeting upon such further notice to the affected property owners as it deems advisable. Under Minn. Stat. §§ 435.193 to 435.195 and City Code Section 303.10, the Council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of this special assessment for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided in that law and City Code all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law and City Code may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the assessment, apply to the City Clerk for the prescribed form for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his/her property. An owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or Clerk of the City within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the district court within ten days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk.

We’ve already totaled 6 days of thunder this month; normal for the whole month is 7. A late-day thunderstorm on Friday, Sept 15 delayed or canceled a few high school football games. The previous day’s storm brought around an inch of rain to most areas, boosting our monthly rain total to 2.51”. I ran the William O’Brien 10-mile Trail Run on what was a spectacular Sunday. Great time of year to be outdoors.
