LINO LAKES — With numerous hunting seasons underway, the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department wants to remind hunters to do their homework and get educated on hunting restrictions before they shoot a gun or draw a bow. “Every year we get a dozen to 20 calls, sometimes more, from the people who are doing their homework and have inquiries about ordinances. Those are the people we aren't worried about because they care enough to do homework,” said Deputy Director Kyle Leibel. “It is the other people who don't do their homework and assume they can just jump on these lakes or areas that are close to homes.” The most common concern the department hears from residents is when hunters are too close to a home. Most of the concerns stem from the waterfowl season and very few from archery. Leibel said it is important for hunters to be aware that city ordinances may be more strict than state law. For example, state statute says hunters cannot discharge a fi rearm within 500 feet of any building. Under Lino Lakes ordinance, an additional 250 feet (750 feet total) of distance is required. Leibel said the department recently responded to some young hunters on Otter Lake who were within 200 feet of a home. So far this year, a couple of homes have been shot and two years ago a window of a home was broken. “Waterfowl hunting is a great opportunity for families to get out and enjoy the hunting tradition. We don't want to lose that,” Leibel explained. “So much of this we put on the

Steve Tolbert is entering his ﬁfth year of banjo lessons at Northern Pine Music Studios in Lino Lakes. His brother, son and grandson have also taken lesson at the school.

Northern Pine Studios fosters love of music in all ages BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Music student Steve Tolbert always wanted to play the banjo but it wasn't until he stumbled across Northern Pine Studios in Lino Lakes that he found the

courage to try. Now in its 21st year, Northern Pine Studios, located at 7960 Lake Drive, is owned by Rick and Mary Taube of Lino Lakes. Rick teaches guitar and banjo and is in charge of running the day-to-day operations, while Mary helps out with a

Partnership spearheads increasing family engagement BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

At fi rst glance, words like ganga, skunk, girl, Molly, brown sugar, China white, ice and Tina may seem innocuous. Thanks to a drug recognition and education presentation by Lino Lakes Officer Jackie McIntosh and Investigator Vince Klosner at Pines School on Tuesday, Oct. 10, parents now know

to look a little bit deeper and what to watch for. Klosner, who has been with the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department for 12 years, was assigned to the DEA Task Force for a year and was able to share some of his experiences during the presentation. “The general public parents just doesn't know what to look for. A lot of parents just thought their son or daughter was tired all

the time, but it was because he/she was passed out from heroin,” Klosner explained. “After the fact, when they recognize that their son/ daughter is doing heroin, they feel bad for them because they get so sick and angry, so the parents feel obligated to support that habit so they will feel better. It is a revolving cycle that needs to stop with a formalized treatment. It's a devastating drug.”

The presentation was a combined effort of Pines School, Anoka County Juvenile Center and Operation No Limits, and was made possible through a Student and Family Engagement (SAFE) grant from the Anoka County Children and Family Council. The presentation was offered at the same time as parent-teacher

conferences in an effort to increase attendance and create more family engagement. “Participation has historically been low (at conferences), and we know how important it is to have parent involvement in education. We wanted to have an event that would be attractive to parents and provide them with some information that would be helpful to parenting healthy teens,” said Anoka County Mental Health Assessment Coordinator Jennifer Holloway. Community members who do not have youth in a program at the Anoka County Juvenile Center were also invited to the presentation. “This is a way to get some other parents

who are hungry for the information to not only decrease recidivism, but also prevent some of the behaviors that result in their (child's) intake into one of our programs,” Holloway explained. McIntosh, who has been with Lino Lakes for 10 years, began the presentation by stating, “Parents need to be involved in their kids lives in an informed way ... we are not going to make you experts, but you will have a broader knowledge.” She added, “The main thing we want you to take away from the presentation is you know your child … If you think that they are using illegal substances, get them professional help now, don't wait.

How do you know there may be a problem? Look for signs of depression, withdrawal and hostility: • Changes in friends and people they choose to hang out with. • Negative changes in schoolwork, missing school, discipline problems, activity changes. • Increased secrecy about possessions or personal activities; locking bedroom door. • Use of incense, room deodorant or perfume to hide smoke or chemical odors. • Subtle changes in conversations with friends, using coded language. • Change in clothing choices. • Evidence of drug paraphernalia. • Bottles of eye drops, used to mask blood-shot eyes or dilated pupils. • Missing prescription drugs.

their kid, they don't want to believe it is happening or they don't know how to help. But doing nothing will not make it go away, it will make it worse.” Topics covered during the presentation included nicotine, marijuana, dabbing, synthetics, pills, MDMA (ecstasy), heroin, naloxone (narcan) and meth. McIntosh and Klosner passed around numerous items that have been confiscated from offenders that were either used to ingest the drug or conceal it, such as highlighters, lipstick and soda cans. Symptoms and other things to look for were also discussed. Klosner said his overall hope for the presentation is that parents now know what to look for, whether it is watching the behaviors of their child

or noticing things in their room. He also urged parents to become familiar with some of the slang terms/code names that are being used for certain drugs such as “girl” for heroin and “boy” for cocaine. Pines School, Anoka County Juvenile Center and Operation No Limits plan to co-host three more informative presentations this year in conjunction with conferences. The next one will be held Dec. 12 on “Talking to your teen about sexuality and healthy relationships.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@ presspubs.com.

Fall is in the air

e have moved on from the days of sunscreen and boating to the season of football and hunting. I loved hearing of a high school friend’s kid going duck hunting with his friends alone for the first time. These boys grew up in hunting families and were allowed to take the truck, trailer and boat hunting around the Hugo and Lino Lakes area. Imagine what the parents were feeling — like letting your son or daughter take the car out for the first time. I took my hunter safety course in middle school. It was a requirement before I could go hunting with grandpa. I remember the classroom training and the outdoor part was especially memorable as I went through Publisher’s it with my dad. The hunter safety certificate is still on my driver’s license. View As a youth I distinctly remember my grandfather teaching me to respect Carter Johnson the land. My grandparents lived on 80 acres near Park Rapids where they kept the deep ffreezer stocked with fish, wild game, k h d and had a root cellar full from grandma’s garden. My first hunt was for grouse and I brought our toy poodle. Grandpa trusted me with the smallest of shot guns, the Coast to Coast .410, and two shells and expected a bird for each shell. I will never forget those adventures with grandpa hunting and fishing. My son, Kellen, and I have been invited to join a friend for deer opener. As a youth his hunting license is one dollar. I don’t think he’ll actually harvest a deer because he had a hard time with the idea of shooting a rabbit last year, but I think it’s important for us to be together in the woods and continue to share different experiences. This past weekend my college friends and I took a trip to South Dakota to a preserve where we hunted pheasants. What is exciting about this trip is this group of friends have put sweat equity into the land over the past 10 years by cleaning up trash, glass, steel, fences and rock piles to bring it back to native grasses and landscape. The two days of hunting were splendid. We were assisted by 3 dogs and three dads, two of which were former teacher friends and hunting partners of more than 40 years. The generations sitting around the lunch table were amazing; the stories included tales of the birds that got away. Hunting seasons like duck and bow deer are in full swing. Take extra care when you are in the woods. Wear blaze orange and if you have a partner dog, make sure it is sporting blaze orange too. Be safe in the great outdoors and keep passing on the traditions. First, be sure the next generation is trained in hunter safety, and learns respect for the sport and love for the outdoors — however you choose to view it. I’d like to see hunting safety classes accessible to everyone. Almost duped A couple of weeks ago our front desk received a call from a man saying he was with Xcel Energy and they were coming in 45 minutes to disconnect our electricity because we hadn’t paid our August bill. Several of us went into panic mode trying to figure out how a payment could have been missed, and no one remembered seeing a disconnection notice. The person who pays that bill called the 800 number the caller had left and the man who answered was unprofessional and said things that didn’t add up, which raised a red flag. She hung up, called the customer service number for Xcel and learned that the phone call was a scam. Our reporter who compiles the local police reports says these scams are happening around our community every week. Scammers posing as representatives of well-known companies are preying on unsuspecting residents and businesses. The representative said that these fraudulent callers will often ask the potential victim to send a pre-paid credit card or give out bank account information. It’s just a reminder to never, ever give out personal or financial information of any kind to someone who calls you, no matter how legitimate they might seem. If something doesn’t seem quite right, it probably isn’t. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

Mending the cultural and political divide

cross, a ring, and a ﬂag. The cross never comes off, the ring rarely comes off, and the ﬂag stays up and lit at night. These are simple symbols of ideas and institutions that are very important to me — my faith, family and freedom, and I am deeply committed to each. These are the things that give my life direction and purpose. They represent service, Legislator love, happiness, unity, opportunity and Lingo doing good. In short, they are Roger reminders that Chamberlain there are things bigger and more iimportant than h myself. These are the things that bind me to others. Of course, I understand the reality of life in this world. There are inexplicable events, great challenges, tragedies and suffering; sometimes bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. Like anyone else, I am of course disheartened — if not troubled and confused — when those things we love and care about are threatened. Given the current state of affairs, many people are understandably feeling angry, frustrated, confused. People often speak to me about the current political and cultural

divisions and struggles in our nation and state. Some wonder how we arrived at this point, others would like to know how it will ever end. It has been my observation, through experience and research, that we have much more in common than not; our shared values bind us together. Nonetheless, in our modern culture we may have lost touch with that reality. I submit this is the consequence of spending so much time intensely emphasizing our differences. The irony may be that, the more we focus on our differences, the more separated we become from one another. How did we get here? Two possibilities: agendas and twentyfour-hour media. At times, different world views collide. As history and our nature tell us, there are those who are willing to do almost anything to further their agenda. Those people live to create chaos; their cause is furthered by division — only when the whole is deconstructed can it be rebuilt to suit their desires. Twenty-four-hour news cycles feed the ﬁ re. Access to social media allows everyone to have a voice. With all this access, competition exists to have your story read and your voice heard. In the end, the louder and more outrageous voices tend to win the day. The good news? In the midst of the chaos and noise, many good people are driving ahead and doing amazing things. There

are many examples, but recently I have had the opportunity to witness a few. U.S. Bank has worked with Phoenix Alternatives, Inc. (PAI) to hire and train people with disabilities, and recently received an award as an Outstanding Disability Employer for their effort. The Minnetonka School District has created and is executing a plan to help children with dyslexia, and it is helping other students improve their reading ability. The Community School of Excellence, an award-winning Hmong charter school, recently had a grand opening of their new campus on Larpenteur Avenue in St. Paul. The staff and community accomplished this while overcoming great challenges and adversity. They would not leave the students behind. These stories give me hope. So what is the answer to our cultural and political divisions? I like to think about the old Cherokee parable of the Two Wolves: A grandfather explains to his grandson that inside each of us, there are two wolves battling for supremacy: one wolf represents humility, love, and kindness; the other, greed, anger, and hatred. The grandson asks his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The grandfather responds, “The one you feed.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rauner would be great asset to council I met Jennifer Rauner five years ago when her husband joined the fire department, where my husband also serves. Our children attended Noah's Ark Preschool together and Iâ€™ve been able to get to know her through various school and fire events. We quickly became friends. I know Jennifer to be a strong, capable person. She cares about the city and what happens in our community. I know she really cares about the fire and police departments. She has a great, fun personality and I enjoy spending time with her. I have no doubt she would be a great asset to our City Council. Christine Mischke Circle Pines

In strong support of Dean Goldberg I am writing in strong support of Dean Goldbergâ€™s run for the Circle Pines City Council. Full disclosure: I do not live in Circle Pines, but in Roseville. However, I am writing because I believe that Circle Pines is extremely lucky to have someone of Deanâ€™s stature and passions

recognition (imagine how something on paper would look in 3D), nonverbal reasoning skills (solving puzzles, creating maps), pattern recognition (computer science) and more. This brain type has at least average and sometimes superior intelligence. Did you know many entrepreneurs and engineers have dyslexia? We need these brains to reach their full potential. Dyslexia is the brain type one is born with. Just like male, female, introverts, extroverts, autism, musical and more. MRIs map these pathways of neurobiology. It is not chosen and not something to be â€˜ďŹ xed.â€™ It is only a disability if the learning environment isnâ€™t suited for it. Consider how it feels to sit in a classroom knowing that the kids around you are â€˜getting itâ€™ easier than you are. Consider what that does to self esteem, work ethic, friend and lifestyle choices. The stakes for academic, emotional and psychosocial consequences are high when dyslexia is not recognized and

not provided for. This affects relationships, graduation rates, delinquency, employment and income. The International Dyslexia Association is a good reference. There is not a knowledge gap, there is an action gap. Science-driven recommendations such as those by Yale researcher Dr. Shaywitz clarify approaches such as Orton Gillingham strategies for teaching reading, writing and spelling. Unfortunately, most of our teachers were not provided this in their own education and therefore donâ€™t have the tools to extend it to their students. American Public Media recently released an audio documentary titled â€œHow American Schools Fail Kids with Dyslexia.â€? Decoding Dyslexia Minnesota, Senator Chamberlain and parents across the nation have been ďŹ ghting to raise awareness and legislation changes. Erin Florin is a parent and nurse practitioner at Synergy Family Physicians in White Bear Lake.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS running for council. I first met Dean when our kids were both in high school together. He and Barb were the kind of parents who you could always count on to be there for school events. Later our kids began to date and, yep, now they are married, so Dean is now a shirttail relative. I could not be happier. The more I got to know Dean, the more I appreciated his deep commitment to helping those less fortunate than he is. He spends many hours volunteering. Indeed, now that he has retired from a highly successful career, I think he is spending more hours in volunteer efforts than he spent going to work before he retired! Homelessness is one of his passions. And I know I can count on Dean and Barb to join me when it is time to fundraise to support shelters that serve my passion, homeless families with children. Having watched my City Council now for several years, I know how important it is to have council members who watch out for everyone in their city and not just some citizens. Dean will do that, I am certain. He is that kind of a guy. Megan Dahlberg Roseville

Cougar 8th-grader is conference x-country champion, leading girls to 4th place BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Gracie Stokes, Centennial eighth-grader, won a footrace into the chute and emerged as individual conference cross country champion Thursday, Oct. 12 while the Cougars placed fourth among 14 schools. Stokes out-sprinted another eighth-grader, Lexa Davis of Osseo, by a half-second at the Elk River Golf Club course. Stokes’ time was 19:34.40 and Davis’ 9:34.90. “Gracie moved into fourth place in the first half of the race. She was still in fourth a few seconds back with 400 meters to go,” coach Neil Kruse said. “She shifted gears

about then, pulling into first just before the finish line, with her season-best time.’ Stokes, who moved up from sixth place as a seventh-grader, beat contenders from Andover, Irondale and Maple Grove who had beaten her at St. Michael and Osseo meets. The top five runners were three eighth-graders and two freshmen. Two more Cougar eighth-graders made all-conference as Lauren Swanson placed 18th in 20:29.3 and Tatum Liebke was 25th in 20:55.79. The Cougar top five (counting) runners also included junior Mckendra Long in 31st place (21:12.98) and sophomore Grace Johnson in 32nd (21:17.84).

Maple Grove was girls team champion with 29 points, followed by Andover 50, Elk River 91, Centennial 94 and Armstrong 150 in the top five among 14 teams. Regarding the team’s eighth-grade talent, Kruse said that extends to the boys team as well with Jonathan Pattie, Landen Liu and Aiden Scherer all up-and-coming JV runners. “They compete hard in practice and competitions, but afterwards are chatting it up,” he said about that group. “They are quite supportive of one another, realizing each of their successes enables the team to do better. They are a fun group to work with.”

Cougar coaches have tackled the concussion issue BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

In recent years, the number one concern of parents pondering whether to let their kids play football is the risk of concussions. Centennial coach Mike Diggins is confident that his program is addressing that issue correctly, after the Cougars changed their tackling policy in 2012 in an approach implemented by assistant Jason Snodd “For the last six years we have really

reduced the risk of concussions,” said Diggins. “It’s a program started by Pete Carroll, the Seattle (Seahawks) coach. Jason went to some clinics and started it here.” Diggins reports that the program had at least 25 concussions in the five years prior to 2012. Since then, they’ve counted six at the varsity level. Snoddy explained that it’s a matter of “not leading with your head” while tackling, which had been the desired mode of attack taught for generations before more became known about the risks of brain

The Centennial tennis team won its playoff opener 6-1 over Spring Lake Park, then lost to Stillwater 7-0, and finished with a 10-8 record, including 7-4 in conference. Coach Arnie Lamers said this was a rebuilding year with several new starters gaining experience. The Cougars were still involved with section singles and doubles this week.

Hannah Bombeck, senior midfielder, delivered two goals as No. 8 ranked Centennial (13-2-2) opened the soccer playoffs with a 4-0 win over Osseo, and had the lone goal when the Cougars beat Blaine 1-0 to close the regular season. On a team with goals spread out among 14 players, Bombeck leads with seven goals, and helps keep the attack flowing with her alert midfield play.

The Centennial Cougars used their lone pass completion of the game to pull out a 28-21 victory over Champlin Park on Friday, Oct. 13 evening. Two sophomores teamed up for that game-winner as Connor Zulk found Carter Anderson over the top from 36 yards out in the fourth quarter. It was Zulk’s first varsity throw and Anderson’s first varsity catch. “They’ve been playing together on the sophomore team all year,” said coach Mike Diggins. “Connor has a lot of potential. He can throw the ball. Carter made a great catch. They had good coverage but he just went up for it.” Zulk, the backup, then ran for the twopoint conversion. He was replacing starter Ryan Koob, who left the game after taking a hard hit. Diggins said Koob would be evaluated for possible concussion Monday before he’s

cleared to play this week. Down 21-14 in the fourth quarter, the Cougars got a one-yard touchdown from Sam Bonfe, but Zulk, the placekicker, missed this one, leaving his team a point behind. The No. 4 ranked Cougars (6-1) enjoyed their usual robust ground game with 303 yards rushing. Bonfe had 80 yards in 18 carries. Koob gained 72 in 12 carries before being injured. Trevor Debliek punched in two touchdowns, from seven and 12 yards, capping long drives in the first quarter, and gained 47 in seven attempts.

The Centennial boys were runners-up by the narrowest of margins in the Northwest Suburban Conference cross country meet Thursday, Oct. 12. With four Cougars placing in the top 15 at Elk River Golf Course, the Cougars tied Armstrong with 79 points each for five runners.

The fifth score was junior Adam Namyst in 38th place (17:57.39) among 91 runners.

“Our top four runners h had “O f d great races, all in the top 15, three of them personal record times,” noted coach Neil Kruse.

LAW ENFORCEMENT: Creating a balance between hunters and non hunters FROM PAGE 1

hunters themselves to educate themselves and understand restrictions; the restrictions are there for a reason. Don't give the people who are nonhunters any reason to be concerned about hunting.” Each year, the department likely has to explain to new residents of the community why they are waking up to the sound of shots in the fall. Another common concern is the time of day when the hunters are permitted to be out there. “They can legally shoot up to one half hour before sunrise. That's early on a Saturday or Sunday morning when people are trying to sleep in a little bit. It's hardly light out,” Leibel said. It is also important for residents to be aware that there are regulations by many levels of government, including at the federal, state, county and city levels. Although hunting is permitted in Lino Lakes, some areas are completely off limits. For example, any type of fi rearm discharge is prohibited on Baldwin Lake. Rondeau Lake is also completely off limits, as it is privately owned (both water and land) by Crossways Lake Hunt Club. Another concern is that it is unsafe to use the trail systems this time of year. Leibel wants residents to know that people can safely use trails; under county park ordinance, discharge of a fi rearm is not allowed anywhere within a county park. However, hunters are allowed to hunt waterfowl on some water bodies within county parks as the water is owned by the state, not the county. Hunters must access the lake from a public access point and stand in the water or sit in a boat. “The bummer is we are trying to strike a balance between allowing hunting to continue and maintaining some type of quality of life for the people who are nonhunters and living on or

around these lakes,” he said. “The nonhunters live out here because it is quiet (and) because they have the opportunity to use a trail system that is unbelievable this time of year, and yet they hear all this shooting on the lake in the mornings and it's scary.” The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department takes hunting violations very seriously. “If we have someone who isn't doing their homework, or is hunting irresponsibly, we want to make sure that they do that in the future. We don't give breaks. When there is a hunting violation that should've been prevented, we are going to issue a (misdemeanor ordinance violation) citation,” he said. “The vast majority of hunters in Lino Lakes are safe and responsible. Our hope in our strict enforcement is that it will change unsafe and illegal hunting practices and also ensure public safety and preserve the hunting opportunities.” The statutory maximum penalty for misdemeanor ordinance violations is 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fi ne Typically, the ordinance citations result in a stayed jail sentence and a fi ne, which is usually lower than the statutory maximum. If residents have questions, Leibel urges them to call dispatch at 763-427-1212 Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Leibel said the department has no problem taking the time to explain specific restrictions in an area to a resident. City ordinance information is also available on the city's website. Under city ordinance, discharge of a fi rearm is prohibited within the city limits of Circle Pines.

The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Oct. 9 meeting: • Declared October Toastmasters Month. Toastmasters International is the world’s leading organization devoted to communication, public speaking and leadership skills. The Lino Lakes chapter meets from 6:30-8 p.m. every Tuesday at City Hall. • Approved the consent agenda, which included expenditures, Sept. 28 work session and meeting minutes and election judges for the Nov. 7 election. The council also approved an exempt gambling permit for Turkey Bingo (Nov. 23) and a scholarship raffle (Nov. 28) for St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church. • Accepted the donation of seven bikes from the public safety department to Bikes for Kids, a nonprofit organization based out of Ham Lake that refurbishes donated bicycles and provides them to kids in need in Anoka County and throughout the world. Lino Lakes ordinance allows the department to dispose of unclaimed property authorized by a majority vote of the City Council. • Approved the hiring of paid on-call firefighter Jesse Fronek, who comes to the department with four years of experience with the Centennial Fire District. Fronek started Oct. 16 and is assigned to Station 1. • Approved a land use plan amendment to the planned unit development stage plan for the Watermark development. The proposed development is a master-planned residential community located in the northwest quadrant of I-35E and CSAH 14/Main Street. It contains 12 parcels totaling approximately 372 gross acres with a total of 871 housing units. The amendment to the land use plan is to reflect Lennar's proposed lot sizes, which have changed from those proposed by Mattamy Homes. The amendment includes the elimination of the 44-foot-wide lots, the addition of a 60-foot-wide lot product, a slight reconfiguration to the townhome area, the addition of a second townhome product (back-to-back) and the introduction of an age-targeted villa product. The council also approved a final plat extension to Dec. 13. • Approved a conditional use permit for home occupation permit level C for 426 Pine St. Applicant Stephen Witzel owns Mobile Maintenance Inc, a handyman service that specializes in the repair and service of manufactured homes on the lots where they are located. Witzel currently resides at 925 Evergreen Trail and wants to move to 426 Pine St. The property is the former site of the Rehbein Arena/BMX racing track, which has not been in operation for over one year; therefore, the existing conditional use permit has expired. • Accepted quotes and awarded a construction contract for the Birch Street Trail replacement and Century Farms Trail projects. The low bid was received from Arcade Asphalt Inc. in the amount of $87,550 ($32,680 for

Birch Street and $54,870 for Century Farm), which was under the engineer's estimate of $97,000. The project will be completed by June 2018. • Accepted quotes and awarded a construction contract for the 2017 surface water project. The city’s annual surface water management program addresses areas in need of maintenance, and conforms with the city’s Surface Water Pollution and Prevention Plan. The proposed maintenance for this year includes cleaning storm sewer outfalls, removing vegetation and sediment deltas in stormwater ponds, minor pond excavation and storm sewer structure repair/replacement. The low bid of $84,578 was submitted by Olson’s Sewer Service Inc. of Forest Lake. The 2017 general fund streets budget includes $125,000 for surface water maintenance projects. The projects are planned for completion by Dec. 31. • Accepted quotes and awarded a contract for two driver feedback signs on Bald Eagle Boulevard. The signs will be located both north and south of Partridge Court. The low bid was submitted by Traffic Safety Corp. of Sacramento, California, in the amount of $7,097. The signs are to be installed by Dec. 15. • Approved the intersection control evaluation (ICE) report for the intersection of Centerville Road and Ash Street/County Road J. The study showed that under existing conditions, the southbound approach and the westbound right turn movements were having unsatisfactory levels of service. The analysis concluded that either a traffic signal or roundabout would address the current unsatisfactory levels of service during peak periods and provide adequate levels of service through 2038. The study recommends a roundabout be constructed, with an estimated cost of $1 million. The next step will be to identify the project funding, which involves refining project costs and identifying cost shares. The four jurisdictions are Anoka County for the north leg, Ramsey County for the south leg and Lino Lakes and Ramsey County for the east leg. The west leg is maintained by the Waverly Gardens development in North Oaks. MnDOT and White Bear Township were also involved in the ICE. • Approved a traffic policy for the city. WSB & Associates traffic engineer Chuck Rickart presented a draft traffic safety review process and procedures policy at the Oct. 2 work session. The policy details procedures for speed limits, stop signs, warning signs and traffic calming measures. The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 23, at City Hall. There will be a work session immediately preceding the work session at 6 p.m. in the Community Room. Shannon Granholm

NORTHERN PINE: Creates friendly learning environment for students FROM PAGE 1

he described as a “cool looking guy who looked like Clint Eastwood.” Before deciding to start his own business, Rick taught at Schmitt Music for 25 years at various locations. That's when he met Mary, who was one of his guitar students. After the store he was teaching at closed down, he decided to start his own studio. “He had all these students who said they would follow him wherever he went,” Mary said. The rest was history. The business was located about a block and a half down Lake Drive for 11 years before moving to its current location. When it first began, the focus was on guitar and banjo. Lessons have been expanded to include piano, violin, voice, mandolin and ukulele. The business offers all different types of guitar such as rock, blues and acoustic. “You name a kind of guitar, we do it here,” Rick said. Rick said the business has around 100 students who range in age from 4-80 (those mature in age he refers to as the “young at hearts.” Students come from all over, including the Quad area, Forest Lake, Shoreview, Hugo and White Bear Lake. Rick recalled having an 81-year-old student who traveled all the way from Mille Lacs. Adult student Tolbert is going on his fifth year at Northern Pine Studios. It all started out six years ago when his son gave him a cheap banjo for Christmas. “I looked all over for a banjo teacher. I couldn't find any … so my son went online and found this place,” he recalled. “The first time I came in I was so nervous. I told Rick, 'I don't even know if I can do this.' He told me to come here once a week for half an hour, practice 15-20 minutes a day, and I would have a good time learning.”

SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Northern Pine Studios sells new banjos and guitars in addition to guitar and violin accessories. Instruments are also available for rent (by students).

Tolbert likes the place so much he has now convinced his son to take guitar lessons, his brother to take banjo lessons and his grandson to take group guitar lessons. “Now that I am here, I don't feel like I am taking lessons. I feel like I am coming and playing the banjo with a bunch of friends who can show me stuff,” he said. “It's a really friendly environment. All the teachers are very friendly and everybody is really sociable.” The business offers private and group lessons. Group lessons are a nice options for students who are too intimidated to play in a one-on-one setting and they are also a more affordable option. “There is a certain percentage of people who thrive better when they can kind of blend in a room and not have all the attention right on them,”

Rick explained. Each instructor holds their own recital, and the business participates in special events such as the Blue Heron Days Parade and the Fall Music Show and Jam. A small part of the business is selling new guitars and banjos as well as violin and guitar accessories. Chris Moody, who has taught at Northern Pine Studios for nearly two years, teaches electric and base guitar. He is originally from England, where he spent many years as a music teacher traveling around to different schools. He came to the U.S in 2005 and has since taught music for 12 years at various studios and schools. In 2014, Moody became certified in teaching guitar by the Suzuki method, which is offered at Northern Pine Studios. More than 50 years ago, Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki realized the implications of the fact that children learn to speak their native language with ease. He began to apply the basic principles of language acquisition to the learning of music, and called his

method the mother-tongue approach. Ideas include: parent responsibility, loving encouragement, constant repetition, etc., are some of the special features of the Suzuki approach, which emphasizes learning to play music by ear before learning to read music on the page. The Suzuki approach is based on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability ... The potential of every child is unlimited.” The approach is often used with children ages 3-6; however, Moody will not teach pupils under 4 years of age.

Centennial Elementary (CTE) School began implementing the positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) program this school year. PBIS is a team-based, systematic approach in teaching behavioral expectations throughout the school. It is based on a proactive model, which teaches the expected behaviors and reinforces and recognizes students who are able to model these behaviors. During the first week of school, teachers at CTE taught all students their behavior expectations in the building. All staff (teachers, paraprofessionals, lunch room staff, custodians, bus drivers, etc) have been positively acknowledging students with tickets when a student is observed following the expected behaviors. On Friday, Sept. 29, CTE invited parents to come in and assist with an all-

school PBIS scavenger hunt. Students worked with buddy classes (kindergarten with fifth grade, first grade with fourth and second with third). Their job was to visit areas in the building (bathrooms, library, playground, etc.), where they were greeted by a parent volunteer who asked them a question about the behavior expectation in that area. If a student answered the question correctly, they received a stamp on their checklist. If they did not, they were directed to the matrix in that area to review the behavior expectations, at which time they could return and give the correct answer. Once students completed their checklist, they returned to their classroom where they were given a PBIS T-shirt that the parent organization provided free of cost to every student and staff member.

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Pines City Council approved the following at its Oct. 10 meeting: Heard from Councilman Matt Percy, who reported the main item of discussion at the Fire Steering Committee's meeting Oct. 5 was pensions. The Fire Relief Association approached the committee to request that pensions be increased from $4,700 to $5,000. “After about two hours of discussion, we finally came to an agreement and decided to approve that increase,” he said. Percy noted the residents of Circle Pines and Centerville will not see a direct impact, as the pension is fully funded from the association through investments. Approved the consent agenda, which included Sept. 26 meeting

minutes, licenses, fi re and police disbursements and appointment of election judges for the Nov. 7 election. Approved a proposal for engineering services from WSB & Associates for the feasibility study and preliminary design for the 2018 partial street reconstruction project at a not-to-exceed fee of $44,096. The project will include Nottingham Drive, Arthur Court, Sherwood Court, Forest Drive, Flowerfield Road and Little John Drive, all streets that were identified as poor condition in the 2011 pavement management report. The project will involve the reclaiming and repaving of approximately 1 mile of streets within Golden Lakes Estates. The project will also include spot curb

repair, drainage improvements and replacement of manhole rings and casting units as needed. Approved a resolution certifying 2017 delinquent utility accounts to the county for collection with property taxes. City Administrator Patrick Antonen said that before the city sent letters to property owners informing them of the balance owed, there were 133 properties owing a total of roughly $75,000. Following the mailing, that number is down to 84 properties; around $36,000 is still outstanding. Property owners have until Oct. 31 to pay the balance before it is turned over to the county to be added to property taxes. Approved a resolution certifying 2017 delinquent city accounts.

Antonen explained two properties owe $330 for lawn mowing provided by the city. Approved the classification and sale of a tax-forfeited property located at 8 Park Drive E. Under state statute, the city is required to approve the classification and sale of the property for forfeited parcels that lie within its jurisdiction. Antonen explained city staff did not feel it would be in the best interest of the city to purchase the property and would prefer to see a new family move there. The council agreed. The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

LINO LAKES MAYORAL CANDIDATE Name: Jeff Reinert UNOPPOSED Age: 57 Address (city): Lino Lakes Family: I moved to Lino Lakes 42 years ago when I was a freshman at Centennial High School. I have been married for 29 years to my wife Lisa and we have raised three daughters who have graduated from college. Occupation: I am president and co-founder of MNPHARM SBC. We manufacture regenerative recombinant protein for medical research and supply researchers at Mayo Clinic and various universities. Products we currently produce advance therapeutic development for cancer treatment and bone regeneration. Political/Civic experience: 8 years – Mayor of Lino Lakes 18 years – Service on the Lino Lakes City Council 6 years – President of the Economic Development Authority – current member 2 years – President of the Lino Lakes Yellow Ribbon Network – current member 2 years – Anoka County Fire Protection Council – Finance Committee – current member 11 years – Centennial Fire District Steering Committee – past member 7 years – Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Committee – past member 2 years – Lino Lakes Park Board – past member 2 years – President 20/20 Vision Citizens Advisory Board – past member Education: Mankato State University and University of Minnesota, marketing / business administration CAMPAIGN STATEMENT Please write a 100-word statement identifying your goals and/or identifying two top-priority issues and speciﬁc steps you would take to address them. “Preserving our quality of life” has always been my philosophy as Mayor. Federal, state and special interest groups continually go after our city budget. Keeping resident’s safe and free from being over taxed are council members main duty. Although our city is on a great path, I have concerns about development and overspending. Please support candidates this fall that are ﬁscally conservative and support our new public safety model and not one issue candidates that have a chip on their shoulder.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE Name: Bill Kusterman Education: Bachelor's degree – College (University) of St. Thomas, St. Paul; Master's degree in business taxation – University of Minnesota Occupation: Executive Director, Certified Public Accountant (CPA) – Big 4 Public Accounting Firm Political/civic Experience: Lino Lakes City Council 2014-present; Lino Lakes Park Board 2000-2013 Family: Married 29 years to wife Sharyn; Four adult children Contact Info: wdkusterman@centurylink.net Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? My first and only priority for the city is to serve well. Serving the city well will lead to thoughtful decisions considering the needs of the city today, tomorrow and into the future. These needs include maintaining and enhancing the amenities and public service provided by the City while encouraging modest and responsible growth. My first four years on the Lino Lakes City Council have served as a valuable apprenticeship for the next four years. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: The biggest challenge the city faces is deciding what it wants to be. For the last several years, with the exception of initiatives around road improvements, the city has been focused on austerity measures in the interests of adopting some sort of “new normal” related to expectations of amenities and services. Said another way, the focus, at least at the City Council, has been squarely set at decreasing costs or at least limiting current and future investments. To name a few, parks have not been meaningfully updated for several years and our public works building is woefully inadequate for our needs (now and in the future). Over the last four years I’ve learned that you can’t really paint with a broad brush in criticizing government. I’m anything but a “big” government proponent. I am however, a small government proponent. Effectively, Lino Lakes is small government. The levers of small government are controllable, much like a small business. I’m interested in

investing in parks and trails. I’m interested in investing in public works and public service. I want this city to decide it wants to be better than it is, even if that results in some increases in spending. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: The residents have spoken. We have a clear directive to work towards enhancing the community through investments in preserving the safety and security of the city’s residents; to assure that the natural beauty and cleanliness of the area be preserved; to invest additional resources in parks and trails and to do all this with an eye to responsible residential and commercial growth. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I am the best candidate for the job because I will responsibly and respectfully serve the best interests of the city’s residents, businesses and employees. I believe I have the conﬁdence of residents that I have worked with personally while on the current City Council and of current city staff.

Name: Brad Robinson Education: St. Cloud Technical College Occupation: Senior Engineering Specialist Political/civic experience: Family: Married, (2) children Contact info: Email: robinsonbradj@gmail.com Facebook: @robinsonforcouncil Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: Public Safety: Public safety is one of the most important functions of a local government. Three years ago, we saw a significant change to our public safety model. Those who have stepped into the public safety roles are very valuable and much appreciated! However, the result so far has been an increase in costs and decrease in service levels. I have concerns with this model and will use my experience to add value in steering this in the direction that will better serve our residents and community. Leadership: Leadership is about guidance, influence, engagement and translating a vision to reality. Successful leadership embodies respect, integrity, transparency and courage. The residents and city employees of Lino Lakes deserve to experience respectful and transformational leadership. There won’t always be agreement and tough decisions will need to be made - but voices should be heard, opinions should be valued and communication should be open and two-way. Our city employees should work in a system that allows for freedom and flexibility to make sound decisions that will benefit our way of life in Lino Lakes. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: Lino Lakes needs to evolve how we attract the right businesses to our community. It’s important that we bring businesses that will enhance the everyday way of life of our residents. I plan to dig deep to understand what is important to our residents today and in the future, learn from surrounding communities that have been successful at creating public spaces that attract businesses and visitors, understand what barriers there might be today (i.e. city codes or existing infrastructure) and work collaboratively to develop a forward-thinking plan. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: One area that the city should focus on is opening up the dialogue with the Charter Commission – This will help with being able to expand the Pavement Management Plan. Another area that needs ongoing focus is the Parks and Trail Management Plan. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: Not only will my 26 years of engineering experience be an asset, but my passion for serving others is authentic. have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, am an active member in our local church (including going on a recent mission trip to Guatemala) and have proudly been serving as a local Firefighter/EMT for the past six years. I will expand that passion by selflessly serving our city and our residents for the right reasons, bringing leadership, integrity and a community mindset.

years Political/civic experience: 2012-2015, Lino Lakes City Council 2015- current, Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Commission Family: I have lived in Lino Lakes for 15 years. Monica and I have celebrated 24 years together. Our oldest son is a freshman at Baylor University, and our two girls currently attend Centennial Middle School and Centennial High School.

Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: I will fight for the citizens of Lino Lakes to protect the city data. As our technology becomes more mobile, it is more important to always understand where the data is, who has access and that it is protected. Our city needs to continue to be safe for its citizens. I would support the public safety department’s budget to maintain our current and future police and fire protection needs. As new needs get requested, I will make sure they are right for our citizens. The streets, parks and trails currently have an existing management plan. These plans need to be constantly reviewed so we use our funds in the most effective way. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: Metropolitan (Met) Council, infrastructure storage and franchise restrictions. The Met Council needs to have elected membership and budget oversight. I would continue to support our elected representatives Chamberlain, Runbeck and Sivarajah to address this complex issue. The infrastructure that our citizens entrust the city to protect include a public works building that will need some improvements to shelter that equipment. I will work with city staff and building architects to have a building that is reasonable for our size city. I would review all franchises inside our city to make sure that they are beneficial to our citizens. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: As a member of the P&Z commission we are tasked with updating the 2040 Comprehensive plan and recommending it to the City Council. The existing 2030 Comprehensive plan has 11 chapters. I feel the focus of the new 2040 plan needs to focus on improvements to chapters 6, 7 and 8. The three chapters include the transportation plan, sanitary sewer plan and water plan. I think by 2040 we need to have water\sewer provided all the way from border to border up Lake Drive. We also need County Road 49 to have water\sewer upgrades from Shoreview (County Road J) to Lake drive. Traffic concerns are from congestion on regional routes such as I-35W and I-35E that are causing diversion of traffic to already busy county roads and local streets. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: Experience matters. I have business experience. I have current civic experience. I have a vision for using my technology experience. I’ll bring fresh ideas and smart implementation for continual improvement to Lino Lakes government. I will always be truthful and work hard to use a common sense approach where everyone’s hard-earned money ends up being spent wisely.

Name: Jim Schueller Education: Bachelor’s degree in marketing– Mankato State University Occupation: Real Estate Political/Civic experience: Current member of city’s Economic Development Advisory Committee; past member of the 4th Congressional District Committee. Family: Wife and son Contact Info: jschueller@comcast.net; www.jschueller.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: The city’s parks and trails are our identity, our brand if you will. They need to be kept and upgraded. The recent proposal for a Parks and Trail Management Plan is a good start. It should be properly funded with a clear schedule for maintaining and updating all parks and trails. The time has come to expand our business tax base. There are opportunities along the I-35E corridor and other business areas for expansion. But we cannot just bring in anyone. The business needs to ﬁt Lino Lakes identity while being respectful to our current business community. We need to invest in infrastructure to these areas allowing building to happen sooner and making the decision process for potential business easier. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: We should see an increase in our population by 15 – 20 percent in the next ﬁve to 10 years. This would add to the congestion we are already experiencing on certain roads and intersections. We should be more proactive than reactive on this matter. The timeline can be long from decision to

implementation. What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? All organizations set goals.The big step is creating a plan to achieve those goals. I will use my business experience to monitor our progress and keep our focus. We should set up periodic reviews on the comp plan to remind us of what we should be doing. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? I have over A: 25 years of management experience. Experience in bringing people together to work for the same cause. Establishing and working with budgets. Negotiating multimillion dollar agreements. I have a macro management style. Letting people do their jobs. Give them the tools to succeed while keeping them focused on the overall objective(s). I am not running because of one issue. I do not have an ax to grind. I am interested in serving this city. Making it better and setting it up for the future. I am a believer in term limits for our elected officials. Therefore, if I am elected to the council I would serve no more than two terms. When you get a group of people together that will make decisions, I feel it is important to have a diverse group. People that have different views on the subject. I will base my decisions on this basic question: Is this what’s best for Lino Lakes?

Contact Info: (651) 982-2492 or rob.rafferty@ci.lino-lakes. mn.us Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: With property values beginning to recover, there is now a greater need to strengthen our investments in the more tangible things. Roads: the arteries of the city cover roughly 100 miles that need a variety of care and upkeep annually. To do this, the city uses a review process that grades and highlights the best and the worst of the roads. This creates the plan of action for the coming season of maintenance, upkeep and repair. Although this has worked well over the last so many years, inﬂation is changing things and our annual contribution of $550,000 isn’t going to be enough for our future. Parks: are a product of new neighborhoods and they come with new development through park dedication fees by the developer. Once they are in, the upkeep, maintenance and overall redevelopment is done through the city. As the equipment needs of the park age and change, we’ll need to re-invest in the replacement of the equipment as well as the design to comply with ADA standards. Currently this is not a fund that is in place. Trails: these are everyone’s lifeline to good health. Trails give us all a chance to see the natural beauty that our city has to offer, as well as experience the peace and quiet of a walk in the woods. We need to invest in the upkeep and creation of new trails to bring our neighborhoods of the north and south sides to the regional park - as well as our east and west communities back into the center of the city. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: We need to continue to look for solutions in a cost saving effort for the taxpayer. We need to look at combining resources when we can. We also need to continue efforts to review contracts and use this review process to analyze the positive and negatives of our vendors. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: Address issues of water, but remain focused on the broad strokes of commercial and residential development. We need

to keep attention on our infrastructural issues of today, for it will be our magniﬁed issues of tomorrow. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I will assume nothing and I will always ask the tough questions. I will sort through that information in an effort to cover all angles. Tax dollars spent in the city come from all our back pockets and I’ll always be there protecting those pockets when representing you. I’d be honored for your support.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE Name: Ryan Kenny Education: Centennial High School; bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in management, minor in management information systems-Bemidji State University. Occupation: Sales Political/civil experience: Lino Lakes Police Reserve 2007-2008 Civil Air Patrol, Search and Rescue Family: Unmarried Contact Information: RKenny86@gmail.com, 651-4847232 Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: Street, path, and park maintenance Business/tax base Public safety engagement I want help the city take a closer look into its own maintenance programs. The city is well aware of issues that cause our roads and paths to deteriorate more quickly than in some neighboring cities- namely due to our wetlands. However, the budgets always seem to come up light when it comes time to make these repairs. The city should not allow roads to be in the “Problem Category” for multiple years. I feel the city should set a goal of 0 miles of problem roads. This is my priority. I also want to increase the efficiencies of our main roadways like Lake Drive, Birch and Main Streets. Exploring ideas like left turn lanes needs to be explored this next cycle. Business is a complicated issue for the city. As I dig deeper into the issue throughout the campaign, it only gets more cumbersome. But do not tell me Lino Lakes needs to increase its population to attract more business. We currently have about 2,000 more residents than Forest Lake. We have been hearing this for 25+ years. Shouldn’t we be demanding more results? The public safety team could be more engaged with the community. I have simple ideas like stopping by bus stops and engaging the students. Potentially having periodic National Night Out type events throughout the year. To be clear, I think the team does a great job. Utilizing social media to both share and collect information is just one way they are currently excelling. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: Where exactly to pull funds from to increase the funding for public services is a signiﬁcant challenge. I believe the city budget is about right at $10.27 million. I’d like to review contacts the city holds within the administration and community development buckets to see if savings could be negotiated. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: When I review the 2040 plan, I don’t see business growth. I see it as equally proportional as the population grows. The plan does not increase the commercial tax base. Commercial/ industrial tax contribution is in the “Top 5” categories that need attention per the city survey. I believe proportional growth is not real growth. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? I A: f these sounds like issues you want brought front and

CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE

Name: Dean Goldberg Education: Bachelor’s degree in journalism, Drake University; doctorate in pharmacy, University of Minnesota. Occupation: Pharmacist, retired in 2014 from GlaxoSmithKline, where I served as director, metabolic/cardiovascular medical science liaisons, research & development, North America medical affairs. Political/Civic Experience: Running for City Council is my first journey into politics. I am a frequent visitor to the state capitol to meet with our District 38 representative and senator; I routinely communicate with our U.S. representative and senators. Medical missions to Honduras with students from the University of Minnesota and Boston University, Global Brigades The Bridge for Youth, volunteer in the emergency homeless youth shelter, provision of case management,and crisis line Chair, Temple Israel Committee to End Homelessness Past president, American Diabetes Association, Minnesota affiliate Family: My wife of 31 years is Barb Goldberg; she is a hemodialysis nurse who cares for patients admitted in any of eight Allina Health hospitals. We have three daughters, Alison (31), Missy (29) and Andrea (27), all of who give back to the community through volunteerism. Contact Info: 13 Indian Hills Drive Circle Pines, MN 55014 Home: 763-780-5865 Cell: 763-234-1180 Email: dgoldberg620@gmail.com Q: What are your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: To make sure the residents of all Circle Pines neighborhoods thrive and benefit from careful, fiscally responsible investments in our police and fire departments, streets and parks and trails, so we continue building the amenities and public safety we now enjoy. I will achieve these priorities by working with the council and city administration to balance services within budget constraints. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: I have spent the past few months walking through Circle Pines neighborhoods to hear what people think of our city and I’ve found that most people love living here. I heard loud and clear that residents want our police and fire departments to remain local and I want this as well; I will help the City Council to find thoughtful and strategic solutions for resident expectations in ways that don’t break the bank. I will do the same to update our parks and trails. I think the Down Under on Lake Drive is an eyesore; it should be redeveloped and I have several ideas for the City Council to move this process forward, including soliciting developers to submit request for proposals. I know our citizens want their neighborhoods to look good and some have told me they are struggling financially to keep their homes fixed up. I will pursue creative sources of external funding and labor to see if the City can help them. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: The top three are: redevelopment of existing housing stock, continued development of our parks and trails and improving the water quality in Golden Lake. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I am a person who works hard and who knows how to take action. Also, I believe it’s important to represent all citizens of Circle Pines on City Council, not just to bring my views to City Council. The work I’ve done to address the problem of homelessness throughout Minnesota, providing medical

care for people in Honduras and my professional work as a pharmacist are a few examples of how I’ve spent a lifetime working to make life better for people. If elected to the City Council, I will work together with our police and ﬁre departments, parks board, public works, Centennial Schools and utilities, city employees and most importantly with residents, to ﬁnd creative ways to continue improving the quality of life for all Circle Pines residents.

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE Name: Jennifer Rauner Education: Associates degree-business administration Occupation: IT telephony specialist Political/Civic experience: Though I have no political experience, my work experience has given me the opportunity to work on teams, prepare budget proposals, forecast future needs the business may require and see projects through to implementation. Yearly I volunteer between two charities. Bridging, a local nonprofit charity that helps supply quality furniture and household goods to families transitioning out of homelessness and poverty. And Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit charity that ships meal packs to children in need across Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, Middle East, North and Central America and South America. Family: Matthew and I have been married for 13 years. He is a local small business owner and serves as a volunteer on the Centennial Fire Department. We have two wonderful daughters, Abigail, 7, and Meredith, 4. Contact Info: 228 Aurora Lane Circle Pines, MN 55014 Cell: 651-338-9896 Email: jrauner828@gmail.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: Continued support of our fire and police departments. We need to stay diligent with the budgets to keep our local public safety departments intact and efficient. We need to continue on the path of upgrading and maintaining our streets and

underground infrastructure. We also need to continue to work with the public works department to make sure we are funding the parks and trail system we all enjoy. What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? I think the most significant challenges Circle Pines faces are yearly budgets and taxes. Since we are a fully developed city, we do not have the same advantages that some of our neighbors have in terms of income from businesses. Trying to keep our taxes reasonable, keep our local public safety departments and continued improvements in our green spaces takes careful planning. The City Council needs to work closely with the City Administrator, we need to be open minded and perhaps think outside the box on what we spend and what we spend our dollars on. We do have some small opportunities that could make a big impact on the city and our citizens and we need to be open to exploring those options. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: Specifically the vision statement. Interdependent neighborhoods, inviting outdoor places, vital housing stock, vibrant business community, city campus that promotes community. Simply put, we should focus on our community as a whole. What can we do to keep the small town pride in our city? Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I want to be a representative for our citizens. I want to everyone to feel comfortable in expressing ideas and concerns. I am not running for City Council to change things. I want to serve the community that I care about. I love living in Circle Pines and want to make sure that our city stays healthy and our citizens can thrive. I have a can do attitude, I am a good listener and I work well on a team. We have a good base team and I want to be able to add my skills and get to work.

Family: Wife: Susie; Children: Kristie, Lorissa, Chad, Dena Contact Info: zmrfam@q.com, 612-5816090 Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them? A: My top priority would be to work closely with the mayor and council to produce a five-year and 10-year plan that manages major cost drivers and accommodates the city’s needs. My next priority would be to seek opportunities for shared services and joint powers arrangements with our neighboring cities and/or the county to benefit taxpayers. We must also keep our city-owned gas utility well maintained and managed and competitively priced. Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them? A: Circle Pines is a wonderful community that is primarily residential with limited commercial and industrial tax base revenue. Therefore, it is important that the city be judicious in budgeting and spending while retaining the quality of its services and infrastructure. Q: What are some areas you think the city should focus on in regard to its 2040 Comprehensive Plan? A: Water supply, is becoming a concern for Circle Pines, as is the case with many metro area communities. The city needs to identify implementation goals that are both practical and cost effective, while retaining the city’s autonomy. Options should be identified and cost-benefit analysis performed so the best path forward can be identified for Circle Pines’ water supply. Q: Why are you the best candidate for the job? A: I have professional expertise regarding utilities infrastructure and will “hit the deck running” on numerous city decisions involving street improvement plans, vital infrastructure such as water supply, sewer, lighting, construction planning and costs and city planning. My job requires that I understand and effectively analyze numbers, both with regard to technical problems as well as finances. This experience will enable me help in good decision-making as part of the city’s elected officials.
