‘Meadowville’ puts on big surprise for their neighbor BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
CENTERVILLE — Neighbors who live in Parkview refer to their neighborhood as “Meadowville.” When a family in the neighborhood is going through tough times, they pull together to support one another. So while 8-year-old Isaac Lutz, son of Andy and Taunya Lutz, spent 40 days in the hospital, the neighbors did all they could to help the family through a difficult time. “We have really special neighbors,” Andy said. Taunya added, “I can’t even explain how lucky we are to live in the neighborhood that we do. From the moment he was hospitalized people were mowing our grass, buying groceries, watching our dog. It means a lot; it shows you how many people are thinking about you and care for you. We have seen so much support; we can’t thank them enough.” It all started after Isaac fell off a stool and one of the legs hit him in the groin area. On July 22 Isaac came down with a fever and was complaining of leg pain. His parents gave him some Tylenol and the

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
The Centennial School District inducted four members to the fourth class of the Hall of Fame Friday, Sept. 23. The Hall of Fame, which was established in 2013, honors alumni and individuals who have made a significant impact on Centennial schools. The Hall of Fame has two categories: Distinguished Alumni, which honors alumni who have demonstrated outstanding professional accomplishments and/or who have used their education to impact society, and Distinguished Service, which honors individuals who have a longstanding history of service to the district, and who have provided services of time and commitment to education. The 2016 inductees include Roger Crawford, Michelle Kline, Duane Carlson and Dick Lasch. All four inductees were invited to a Hall of Fame luncheon, pep fest and the homecoming half-time show Sept. 23. “It is an honor to recognize members of the Centennial community who have made an impact on our students and on society,” Superintendent Brian Dietz said. “Our recipients demon-

Just in time for National Fire Prevention Week Oct. 9-15, the Centennial Fire District (CFD) is now offering residents of Circle Pines and Centerville home safety surveys with the hope of preventing fi res and injuries. CFD received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in August. The grant helps the district purchase new smoke alarms, pay for payroll costs and other equipment needed for the surveys. “We are trying to make people’s homes safer being that, that is where we get injured, die from fires or have people breaking in,” said CFD Chief Harlan Lundstrom. “The ultimate goal is to prevent fi res and injury.” In 2015, 1,345,500 fi res were reported in the U.S., a nearly 4 percent jump from 2014; there were 3,280 civilian fi re deaths, 15,700 civilian fi re injuries and $14.3 billion in property damage; a fi re department responded to a fi re every 23 seconds, according to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). CFD hopes to complete 300 or more home surveys by next August. The voluntary program allows residents to get feedback on the safety of their homes and gives residents suggestions on how to make the home environment safer. “It is not just fi re related. We look at any kind of life

ach spring and fall we look to the readers of our print and online news to support the paper with a subscription. Many of you have asked why would you purchase a subscription when the paper is delivered for free? The simple answer is that we need you to. We need your support to produce the highest quality local news and information. I can see where people think that news is free. We can get all kinds of news online or from Google. Most of this information is aggregated. More than ever, large media institutions are aggregating their news; that is, collecting content that was written by others, including us. If every news organization moved Publisher’s toward aggregating the news, who would be left to produce it? Each View week our team of reporters covers rst-hand stories that no one else Carter Johnson fi does. We are content generators. We produce hyper-local news and information that matters to you. Our journalists are often the only ones left in the room at late night city council or school board meetings, condensing three to four hours of information and reporting on it. Every story in our paper takes a considerable amount of time and energy in a work week to produce. There are interviews, meetings, follow-up calls, and getting photos; followed by the task of writing a story in a way that is easy for the reader to digest, then proofing and editing it before it gets sent to be printed and finally distributed to households throughout our community. And we do all of that while adhering to the highest journalistic standards and ethics. If you have read even one story in the past year that informed you, entertained you, helped you make a decision, or saved you from attending a three-hour city council meeting, I am asking for your paid subscription. Our mission is to be the best source of community news and information. To do this, we rely on your support through buying a subscription. A subscription envelope will be in next week’s paper, or you can go online to www.presspubs.com/site/ services/. Please consider signing up for a sixmonth subscription for $18, or $30 for a year. New this year: We will be giving away an Apple watch or iPad to a lucky subscriber. For less than the price of a cup of coffee a week, you can support the most important news organization in your community. Bottle flipping A new take on ‘spin the bottle’ is taking a 16.9-ounce plastic water or soda bottle filled onethird full with water and flipping it up in the air with the goal of landing it upright. My kids are talking about how students have been asked in their school announcements to please not flip any bottles in the classrooms. ‘Dude Perfect’ has become a YouTube sensation, with more than 27 million views of a few guys flipping water bottles in all kids of challenging situations and landing them upright. This team is flipping water bottles on top of book shelves and tall step ladders, and while jumping off a trampoline. These guys are really good. They even flipped a 5-gallon water cooler bottle out of the back of a moving pickup truck and stuck the landing on top of a 55-gallon barrel. Along with the resurgence of throwback games like Atari, Rubiks Cube and Kendamas, I’m impressed with this new game of bottle flipping. It seems pretty harmless. My 4th grader and his friends can’t get enough of it. Of course, this is the same group of kids I saw at the pool this summer playing a pick-up game of basketball using a trash can as a hoop (they call it ‘trashball’; don’t mind the half-eaten hot dog and plate full of ketchup in there, guys). Who says kids today are losing their creativity? It’s fun to see them enjoying some of the simpler forms of entertainment and making their own fun when the battery is low on their electronic device. So go get your water bottle and start flipping! Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.
Differences in vision
I
believe there are two competing visions for our state. I have written about this before, but it is important to discuss, particularly as we learn about prospective office holders this fall. The two visions are quite clear: one puts people fi rst, and believes in fair, accountable, public service. The other vision is a government fi rst vision. It is self-serving and Legislator unaccountable. The People First Lingo vision, the vision I share, truly Sen. Roger believes in people Chamberlain and the liberating power of human spirit. Our vision allows you the freedom to create value in your life, to make your own choices, to thrive, and to pursue your dreams. The other vision, the Government First vision, believes government and elected leaders know what is best for each of us. It is a vision that doesn’t trust you to make good choices and believes government must always step in to “help.” The Government First vision creates and enriches a small powerful group of decision makers, enabling them to control most aspects of our lives. It is a vision of empty promises and
false hope that diminishes each of us. Over the last four years, we have seen the negative results of the Government First vision in a number of key areas. First, there are healthcare costs and MNsure. Democrats promised to fi x the problem, to reduce costs, increase choice and access to quality healthcare. So what has really happened? We’ve wasted $300 million on a failed website; we have fewer choices; premiums up almost 50%; 140,000 Minnesotans lost their insurance; and all while MNsure executives got bonuses. The solution is to return to a patient-focused, individual-driven health care system. We have seen the same broken promises in public education. They promised to improve outcomes and reduce disparities. What has happened? Statewide test scores show little to no progress in reading and math; 40% of high school graduates need remediation classes in college; and only 50% of students graduate in Minneapolis and St. Paul schools. To get back on track, we need to empower parents and educators, reduce mandates, and give more control back to the school districts and communities they serve. Finally, their vision has a pattern of self-service. Most people were opposed to a new $90

million senate office building and more light rail transit; most people were opposed to universal preschool and unionizing private daycare; most people were opposed to additional sales taxes on agriculture and services; most people were opposed to using their tax dollars for raises and payouts for political appointees. But it doesn’t matter that most of you didn’t want these things -you got them anyway, courtesy of their Government First vision. After four years in charge, the Democrats’ vision is clear. My vision is this: restoring our reputation as a health care leader, getting premium increases in check, making sure every kid graduates high school prepared for the next phase of their life, and making sure you won’t be punished every April for your hard work. Minnesotans need elected representatives who will listen to their priorities and not simply maintain the status quo and enrich themselves. In the end it is about your life, your choices and your dreams. My job is to safeguard these things for you, to make it easier for you, to give everyone a fair shot at living, choosing and pursuing their dreams.

The board is still discussing if this is the resource its members want to pursue. • Heard from Superintendent Brian Dietz, who explained that the post-election surveys based on the 2015 campaign are being processed and the board should have results in October or November. Dietz added that the district will be starting the strategic planning process again on Nov. 21 and 22. During the process, the district will reach out to community members from different sectors and come up with three to four tangible goals for the district. • Approved bid package 27 for the High School East Building for mechanical equipment. In total, five bids were received and the lowest base bids total $544,157 (the air terminal units to Midwest Mechanical for $8,797, the boilers to Mulcahy Co. for $176,999, the ventilation units to Midwest Mechanical for $163,386 and the rooftop to Schwab, Vollhaber, Lubratt for $194,975). • Heard a presentation from Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Scott Johnson regarding 2016 MMR, ACT and AP results. On the MCA, Centennial students exceeded the state average performance in reading, math and science and Centennial ranked ninth-highest out of comparable school districts in both reading and math. The Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR) measures proficiency, growth, achievement gap reduc-
tion and graduation rates (in the high school). Both Centennial Elementary and Golden Lake Elementary earned “Reward Schools” status for the fourth consecutive year. All of Centennial's elementary schools are in the top 25 percent statewide (nearly 700 elementary schools total). Centennial High School scored in the top 12 percent of high schools statewide and earned maximum points for graduation rates.Each member of the Centennial graduating class took the ACT and students outperformed the state average in all subjects tested. Centennial received a 22.5 composite score compared to the state average of 21.1 and the national average of 20.8 (only 64 percent tested). Centennial offers 12 AP (advance placement) courses. At the end of the course students can choose to take the AP test; and if they receive scores of 3, 4 or 5, they have the opportunity to earn college credit. In 2016, 557 students took a total of 753 AP tests. • Approved the adoption of the preliminary levy using the maximum amounts permitted by the state. School districts carry the option of levying the “maximum” versus a specific dollar amount due to continuing updates by the Department of Education. Despite approving the maximum allotted, the levy is projected to be a 6.13 percent decrease. • Approved rental fees for the use of the stadium, turf practice field and the Learning Commons. • Approved medical insurance with HealthPartners with a 5.7 percent rate increase. • Approved the second reading of previously adopted policies. The policies were changed to adhere to Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA) policies. The board also adopted two new policies. The next work study session will be at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10 and the next regular meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24 in the School Board Room in the District Office. Shannon Granholm

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lexington City Council took the following action at its Sept. 15 meeting: • Heard from resident Ron Mccarthy, who expressed his frustration with trying to get a building permit for a new pole barn he wants to build on his property. Due to the new ordinance regarding appropriate surfaces for driveways, his current driveway, which is crushed rock, is not an acceptable surface for a new build. City Attorney Kurt Glaser explained, “(Crushed rock) is an intermediate standard. That is only a temporary standard, because eventually everyone in the city will eventually get to putting in an asphalt or cement driveway. The triggers are, if you pull a non-maintenance building permit, where you don't fix something, then that triggers the permit standard, which is cement or asphalt.” Mccarthy's driveway is acceptable as it stands, but
the new build would require the surface to be upgraded to a permanent cement or asphalt surface before or at the same time as the new pole barn is built. Mccarthy was frustrated because not only did he spend money to upgrade to the crushed rock surface, but he also said he didn't hear any discussion about building permits during the driveway ordinance discussion. City Administrator Bill Petracek explained that the topic was brought up in numerous Planning and Zoning Commission meetings and at the public hearing regarding the ordinance. • Approved a resolution certifying the proposed tax levy requirements for 2017 to Anoka County for collection. The preliminary general fund levy is $1,032,294 and debt service is $79,371, for a total preliminary tax levy of $1,131,665. • Approved a resolution canceling the debt service

WEATHER TIDBIT We’ve had an amazing run of rain this month. We’re going to end the month with over 6 inches of rain, well above the normal of 3.57 inches. This total is pretty common through much of the northern and eastern Metro. I totaled 3.1” on Sept 21-22 with greater totals to my north, including Hugo with 4 inches. Maple trees are beginning to change color as well as the Sumac. We’re still a few weeks away from our first frost. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Have an interesting outdoor weather or nature photo to share? I’m looking for pictures for my 2017 Weather Calendar. See WeathermanWatson.com or email me at watsonwx@aol.com for more info.
