Lino Lakes YMCA under new leadership BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — For nearly a couple of months now, Andrew Hoffman has been learning about the Quad area and meeting as many community members as he can. Hoffman, of Andover, became the executive director of the Lino Lakes YMCA in the beginning of September after Derek Otto took the executive director position at the Forest Lake location. Otto served at the Lino Lakes YMCA for a little more than a year. “I've always had a career goal of being an executive director,” Hoffman explained. “While I was able to make some impact as a sales director in a membership capacity, I wanted to be able to make a greater effect. I think the YMCA can help be catalysts for change and close opportunity gaps.” Hoffman has been with the YMCA for 11 years and has held numerous positions at multiple branches. His career with the YMCA began in 2006 with a part-time position at the member services desk in Eagan. During that time he attended Bethel University part-time to pursue a bachelor's degree in business administration. About a year after beginning with the Y, a full-time position as a member services adviser opened up; he remained in that position at the Eagan location, followed by positions in membership sales and as interim branch director in a number of YMCA locations, including Hastings, downtown St. Paul, White Bear Lake, Woodbury and Minneapolis and Rochester.

Manna Market volunteer Trent Sharba, of Lexington, hands out meat at the Manna Market Monday, Oct. 16. Sharba, who utilizes the Manna Market occasionally, felt it was important to give back by volunteering his time.

Manna Market distributes food while providing faith opportunities what can't be said in words,” said Pastor Steve Burch. The concept was founded by Forrest Gregory at Youthway Ministries in Blaine. It grew so rapidly, it was necessary to expand to other locations. Currently, there are around seven locations, but SonLight Church is the only location in the Quad area.

Local inventor gets kids to polish their pearly whites Hi-tech toothbrushing

BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

LINO LAKES — Doctors, dentists and dental hygienists preach the importance of proper brushing, but getting kids to spend two full minutes twice a day thoroughly brushing their teeth isn't always easy. Enter Brushies. Lino Lakes resident Ammar Darkazanli and his wife experienced these brushing battles with their young daughter. “We've got to do something about this,” Darkazanli thought. “Let's mix things up. She doesn't like brushing her teeth, but she likes games: can we put them together to avoid the ordeal?”

“They can't play the game until they've brushed for two full minutes ...” The device measures the quality factor as well. The games were reviewed by child psychologists to make sure they incorporate educational, strategic thinking. The target age range for Brushies users is ages 5-8. As the company's dentist adviser indicated, if good brushing habits can be instilled early, then it becomes a part of their life — a habit — as they get older.

Having a background in the technical industry, Darkazanli came up with a solution. Brushies are small electronic devices that attach to regular toothbrushes to encourage kids to keep brushing. As a reward, children earn virtual tokens to use with the Brushies app to play interactive games. The brushing movements are recorded in a smartphone, and the device is interactive, advising brushers with comments like, “Don't forget the upper left!” “It gives them feedback,” Darkazanli noted. “The beauty of this is that it takes (the need for) the parent sitting right next to them out of it,” he explained.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stoesz for Lino Lakes One of the candidates I feel would add a lot of value to our great city is Dale Stoesz. Dale is an IT leader and received his master’s degree from Bethel University. He has worked at a local bank in town for over 20 years. Currently he is serving our city by having spent the last two years on the Planning and Zoning Board. Dale has the experience I am looking for in a council member. He has previously served our city as a council member. During that time, he had to make some tough votes based on the data that was available to him. Those votes were not very popular at the time. However, it’s those very votes that have made our city a safer place statistically by impressive margins. It’s that kind of foresight we need in our council members. I had an opportunity to watch the debate in which concerns over the public works building were being addressed, and what each candidate thought should happen. It turns out Dale had already reached out to the public works director to find out what their concerns were over the condition of the building. He also brought up machine sheds as an alternative to the city spending multiple millions. Such a simple effective fix, that saves our city literally millions of dollars. It’s this kind of outside-the-box thinking we need! We need to explore all avenues before blindly agreeing to spend the

kind of money that is being proposed as a solution. That’s exactly the kind of character we get in candidate Dale Stoesz. Dale cares about family, and community! He is passionate about making Lino Lakes a better place. Therefore, I think he would make an excellent councilman for our great city. I know I will be voting for him on Nov. 7. I’ll also note that Mayor Jeff Reinert and Councilman Rob Rafferty seem to have the same values as Dale, and I will be voting for them as well.

Aerial perspective

lear and visibility unlimited (CAVU) is a term that aviators use to describe ideal conditions for flying. After recently attending a seminar led by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) representative Kevin Morris — addressing the exponential growth of drone, or more precisely, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) usage — I discovered that current and future conditions can’t exactly be classified as clear, but instead as partly cloudy with some areas of gray. As part of his presentation, Morris outlined some of the basic safety guidelines mandated by the FAA governing the safe operation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) along with the current laws and Angle of regulations governing their operaView tion. These guidelines include (but are not limited to): fly below 400 Paul Dols feet, never fly near other aircraft, keep your UAS within visual line of sight, keep away from emergency responders, never fly over stadiums, sports events or groups of people, never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol and never fly within five miles of an airport without first contacting air traffic control and airport authorities. Judging from my experience piloting a remote controlled quadcopter, all of these guidelines seem to be reasonable and without a doubt, the vast majority of UAS operators I have met in the last couple of years have been careful and conscientious pilots. But you may (or may not) be surprised by the occasional pilot I’ve encountered who seems to be blissfully ignorant of any of the current guidelines. Earlier this summer I struck up a conversation with a man who was visiting Stillwater to try out the new quadcopter he had just purchased the previous week. Because I approach each flight with caution and the overall awareness of what could possibly go wrong, I was somewhat envious of his carefree attitude as he launched the powerful little vehicle from the top of the Main Street stairs high into the air and then watched as it swiftly disappeared from sight over the St. Croix Valley. Using just the live video feed on a phone attached to the remote control transmitter, he gleefully piloted his aircraft over the historic lift bridge and closer to the river, where he swooped down and circled boats of various sizes. I squinted out over the river to try to catch a glimpse of the copter but it was too far away. To his credit (or more likely the sophisticated software powering the device) he was able to bring the copter back and land it safely. He seemed like a decent guy, but he flew in a manner that personally made me uncomfortable. This might be a comparative stretch, but his attitude reminded me of the people I sometimes see riding around on powerful motorcycles wearing just shorts and flip-flops, their lack of experience giving them a false (and potentially dangerous) sense of invincibility. I’m not aware of another emerging technology that represents such an extreme range of potential uses, ranging from a toy under the Christmas tree to some of the most advanced and deadly weapons of war, with numerous public safety, agricultural, inspection and cinematic applications in between. During a question and answer session that followed his presentation, FAA representative Morris was asked to offer a prediction about where he thought UAS flight was heading. He responded that it was “the future of aviation.” In a trend that I personally hope continues, it appears that the FAA is honestly attempting to promote safety while keeping up with a rapidly evolving technological phenomenon, without stifling the considerable practical and economic benefits that could result from the creative application and thoughtful use of these incredibly sophisticated devices (that sometimes resemble toys).

Starting a vegetable garden

all is the best time to think about starting a new vegetable garden or moving an old one in the spring. Probably the three most important items are location, location, location. The best location is the sunniest spot in your yard. You want your garden to get a lot of sun, at least eight hours per day, and preferably more. For many people, raised beds — purchased Gardener’s either or homemade — Grapevine are a good option. If you choose to go with raised Tim Baland beds, you will probably want to plant varieties of plants with shorter root structures, although that may not be an issue depending on the depth of your raised beds. The ﬁ rst step in starting a new garden is either removing or killing the sod in the location where the new garden will be located. Although removal is preferred, especially for a traditional garden, killing the grass is an option as well, especially if you plan to grow vegetables without deep roots. One method that has worked for me in the past is to put several sheets of newspaper on top of the grass that you want to kill and thoroughly wet the newspaper thoroughly before

The water, raised bed, and soil will prevent the newspaper from blowing away in the wind. Aside from selecting the sunniest spot available in your yard, the key to success in gardening is the quality of your soil. If you are removing the sod and plan to use the existing soil for growing

For more information, see: http:// soiltest.cfans.umn.edu/. There are numerous “recipes” for soil mixtures available on the Internet and in reference books. Select one that drains well and allows for plenty of air circulation, and is appropriate for Minnesota and your zone. I recommend that you put down and amend the soil in your new garden at least 2 weeks, and preferably longer, before planting. Indeed, it would be ideal to put down new soil or amend existing soil now, in the fall. Let the soil settle over the winter and plant in the spring. However, we do not live in an ideal world, and whatever you do will be ﬁne. Still, you want to give the new soil or amended soil at least 2 weeks, and preferably longer, to settle.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Who I support Every election season a lot of people ask me who I am supporting for our City Council. Since I am running unopposed for mayor this election, I have decided to let people know in advance who I think will be the best candidates elected to our council and why. This year, there are six people running for two City Council positions. I can support any person willing to work with the rest of the council, but sometimes we have council members that have a chip on their shoulder and it can be very disruptive and can divide our council. When this situation exists, decision-making becomes personal rather than doing whatâ€™s right for our city and its residents. City management usually doesnâ€™t mind division on the council because then they can play one side against the other, which ends up costing our residents by having to pay higher taxes. Keep in mind, city management does not live in our city and do not pay the taxes they recommend. Council members are responsible for making sure that YOU are represented, so spending by city management doesnâ€™t get out of control. I believe that Rob Rafferty and Dale Stoesz will best represent your voice. They both have the experience of serving on our City Council and on our Planning and Zoning Board. They both support our current public safety model, are fiscally conservative and do not support raising taxes to spend $13 million on an unneeded public works facility, like many of the other candidates. Please consider re-electing Rob and Dale to our City Council. Their honesty, integrity and level-headed decision-making will be the right combination to help smooth out some of the division that currently exists and their votes will keep overspending under control.

It is very important to get out and vote on Nov. 7. We have many important decisions to make in the next couple years and I know Rob and Dale will give our City Council the right balance to make the right decisions for you and your family.

public office. He is intelligent, hardworking, concerned about our society, and fair. I know this to be true because Iâ€™ve had an opportunity to work closely with Dean for more than 30 years in many different capacities. I first met him when he was a pharmacy student at the University of Minnesota, where I am a member of the faculty. It quickly became apparent that he was a serious, responsible student with an insatiable curiosity to learn. In the early years after he graduated, we were faculty colleagues. Those early interactions made clear Dean had an innate ability to connect with others because he was an exceptional listener and an effective communicator. These skills served him well during a highly successful career in health care and the pharmaceutical industry. But over the years Iâ€™ve known Dean, it is our two decades of playing tennis several times a month that offer the best insights into the manâ€™s personality and abilities. Our many conversations before and after matches have covered a wide range of social and political issues on which he has a broad and deep understanding. Even when we express differing opinions, he invariably attentively listens to my position and offers his views in a thoughtful and respectful way. His commitment to improving the lives of those less fortunate than he is marked by his is active involvement in community initiatives such as aiding the homeless. Taken together, his personality, experiences and accomplishments make him the right person to serve on your City Council. Iâ€™m not a resident of Circle Pines, but I can attest that Dean would make an outstanding councilor for your community.

Jeff Reinert Mayor of Lino Lakes

Strong leadership required I am writing in support of Dale Stoesz for City Council. I have worked closely with Dale during my previous tenure on City Council. Dale has been a dedicated council member in the past with the cityâ€™s best interests at heart. Through Daleâ€™s leadership our city has successfully navigated some difficult issues and I believe Dale has the experience and knowledge to be a strong leader for our city going forward. We need advocates for our citizens who are willing to spend the many hours a week it takes to deal with all the issues and challenges that will face our city in coming years, and council members willing to make what are sometimes tough decisions that result in the greatest good for the greatest number of people of Lino Lakes. I believe Dale is this advocate for our city. I hope you will join me on Nov. 7 in supporting Dale Stoesz for City Council. Jeff Oâ€™Donnell Lino Lakes

Jim Cloyd Edina

Kusterman deserves re-election In the upcoming Lino Lakes City Council election, Bill Kusterman deserves re-election and support. He has shown himself to be thoughtful, independent, pragmatic and responsible on the City Council. Bill is my neighbor, but at the other end of the block. Over the nearly 20 years we have been neighbors, I have always known that Bill and I disagree about many things: politics, school choice, religion. But Bill has never been disrespectful in those differences. Bill has stepped up to host neighborhood gatherings, like this yearâ€™s Nite 2 Unite. He partnered that with me, and did an admirable job ensuring that the whole neighborhood was welcomed. Through that partnership, I saw that he is the kind of leader who examines things dispassionately, and makes decisions based on data and common sense. Bill works in a leadership level position at a Fortune 500 company, he understands the importance of high-level leadership that encourages employees to excel, rather than engaging in micromanagement and â€œmean-girlâ€? tactics that disrupt production. We need a majority of the Lino Lakes City Council to embrace Billâ€™s leadership style, rather than continue in the dysfunction that characterizes the relationship between the council and the Charter Commission and neighboring cities. Over the last two years, Bill has proven that he is a voice of reason. Finally, Bill understands the importance of selfless service. He isnâ€™t one to seek the limelight for his own ego. He doesnâ€™t engage in grandstanding. He doesnâ€™t characterize service as a â€œfight.â€? He understands that the professional city staff are doing the best they can with the budget and resources they have, and that the

councilâ€™s job is to set policy and get out of the way. Bill is not one to publicly question and ridicule every budget request or line item expense brought forth by city staff. He understands the cost of that sort of demeaning behavior is loss of experienced personnel to other cities, and ultimately a poorly run local government. Ultimately, that affects all of us in lost city services and lower property values. Kathryn Timm Lino Lakes

Voting for Stoesz Dale Stoesz is my neighbor who I am supporting this year for Lino Lakes City Council. I supported him back in 2011 when he ran for City Council and I will again. I have known Dale and his family for 15 years. Dale is a IT professional who has a masterâ€™s degree from Bethel University. He currently uses his skills at his workplace and has a desire to use his leadership skills in leading our city. Daleâ€™s calm demeanor, ethical priorities and fun personality will be a great addition and is what our city needs. Here is what I know: He supports a smaller public works building than what was proposed. As someone who experienced a house fire, I support the current public safety model using our police trained to fight fires.

Cougar soccer legend soaks up culture and scores goals in England BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Trevor DeBlieck Centennial football s chosen by press staf *Athlete f

Athlete

of the

Week*

A Centennial soccer legend is closing her career overseas, in a country where soccer is the most exalted sport. But Jenna Roering didn’t land in England, after four years at at Division I power Santa Clara (California), just to squeeze out another soccer season. No, that’s just a perk. “I choose to come over to the U.K. more so to further my education, and experience a new part of the world, rather than continuing to play at the highest level,” Roering explained. At the University of Hertfordshire, the 5-foot-7 forward who was Minnesota’s Ms. Soccer in 2012 has drilled five goals and assisted on three more, in her fi rst three games, a big reason they are the only 3-0 team in a seven-team league. Roering is pursuing her masters in sports marketing, aiming for a career “working closely with sports and teams, which have been so important in my life, a true passion that grew in my years at Santa Clara.” The league, which has a 12-game schedule and playoffs, is comparable to “a good Division 2 level” in the U.S., Roering said. “Because soccer is the number one professional sport here, many of the top players skip playing at the university level and go straight to the club level.” At Centennial, Roering swept all the Player of the Year awards in 2012 — Miss Soccer, Star-Tribune, Gatorade — after racking up 34 goals and 16 assists, also making ESPN’s prep All-

America first team. She was all-state three times, logging a staggering 88 goals and 37 goals in that span, helping the Cougars advance to state each year, with a third-place finish as a sophomore, all under coach Ginger Flohaug. When she visited Santa Clara, her tour guide was Brandi Chastain, the Sports Illustrated cover-girl World Cup hero who was an alum and assistant coach there. At Santa Clara, one of the nation’s top programs under longtime coach Jerry Smith, Roering played on four teams that went 56-23-8, including 6-3 in three NCAA trips. In a realm were everybody she played with and against was a high school star, Roering got into 65 games, starting in 25 of them, and totaled five goals and four assists. Her memorable senior year was highlighted by scoring the gamewinner in a double overtime win over No. 18 ranked California, and helping the Broncos make great run in the NCAA tournament. They blanked Long Beach, No. 2 ranked Stanford and North Carolina before losing to No. 5 Georgetown 1-0 in the quarterfinals, one win short of the Final Four which was held in nearby Silicon Valley. In a nice post-career honor for Roering, USA Today College Sports invited her to write a player’s reaction to a wrenching, careerending loss.

SPORTS BRIEFS Cougars kickers dethroned; they fall to Crimson 3-0 in section ﬁnals, ﬁnish 13-3-2 Centennial’s reign as girls soccer state champions ended with a 3-0 loss to conference rival Maple Grove in the section fi nals Oct. 17. “Maple Grove is a great team. They have speed all over the field,” Cougar coach Ginger Flohaug said “They went to the ball better than we did and anticipated the play.” Centennial had beaten Maple Grove in the last two Section 5AA title games and went on to their fi rst state crown last year. But not this time, as No. 4 ranked Maple Grove (17-2) earned its fi rstever state trip in girls soccer with a dominant performance. The No. 8 ranked Cougars, a sixtime state entrant since 2009, finished 13-3-2, including 3-2 loss to the Crimson in conference. Maple Grove took a 2-0 lead with Shelby Handberg scoring in the 23rd minute and Mannon McMahon in the 34th minute. McMahon pounced on a rebound after Cougar goalie Lauren Sicora dived to make a save. Meredith Haakenson added a line-drive shot in the 73rd minute. The Cougars were stuck in Maple Grove’s offensive end most of the game as the Crimson midfielders and defenders forced the action throughout. Goalie Sarah Cortez was credited with five saves as the Crimson posted their 14th shutout. This year’s Cougar squad had 14 players score, although nobody had more than seven. That’s the main difference from last year when they also had 14 players in the scoring column but a couple of them well into double digits. “I love that we have many girls that can contribute with assists and goals (but) that was a struggle all season this year,” said Flohaug. “Finding someone with the knack to go to goal at any moment.”

grow a thicker skin.” That next challenge is pursuing a rewarding career. Meanwhile, she professes to have no plans, for now, to play any more soccer after her graduation next September. “But,” she added, “I will always keep my options open!”

Centennial football coach Mike Diggins would have liked to have seen more snap from his offense. He wished he could have sent his subs out to play the fourth quarter.

Still, there was much to savor after his Cougars sputtered at times but repelled East Ridge 27-7 in the regular-season fi nale on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at home. “We are pleased to be 7-1, and we are pleased to be district champions, and a win is a win, but we as coaches are not happy with the way we played tonight,” assessed Diggins. “Oh, our defense held them to negative rushing in the fi rst half, and we had a ‘pick six.’ But our offense did not play well, and our special teams stink sometimes. These are things we have to clean up, and we will.” The Cougars, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A, had previously finished their district schedule with a 5-1 record, tied for fi rst with St. MichaelAlbertville, the only team to beat them. “This is the best record we have had at Centennial in quite a while and the kids deserve it,” Diggins said. In the 32-team state Class 6A tournament, the Cougars got the No. 2 seed in their quadrant and will host Stillwater (2-6), a No. 6 seed in their quadrant, on Friday, Oct. 27. The winner will face Edina (6-2) or Burnsville (2-6) on Nov. 3. Trevor DeBlieck was one bright spot on offense, gaining 119 yards in just nine carries for a 13.2 average. The Cougars totaled 306 yards rushing from 12 ballcarriers (and 28 yard passing). Andrew Stuart had 46 yards in five carries. The Cougars were up 19-0 at halftime on DeBlieck’s 30yard touchdown, Trei Driskill’s interception and 15-yard return, and Stuart’s 28-yard touchdown. Quarterback Ryan Koob’s two-yard dive and a two-pointer by DeBlieck in the third quarter made it 27-0. “We should have had more points on that scoreboard, and we should have been able to let our subs play the fourth quarter,” Diggins said. East Ridge (3-5) gained about 150 yards in the fourth quarter with one drive capped by Riley Truckner’s 11-yard TD pass to Ethan Curtis, but another halted by Joel Peterson’s interception. — Bruce Strand

ANDREW HOFFMAN: New YMCA executive director hopes to close opportunity gaps FROM PAGE 1

“I’ve had the opportunity to advance in my career, but also to serve and see the impact the YMCA has made on so many communities,” Hoffman reflected. Within that time frame, Hoffman also obtained a master’s degree in nonprofit administration from North Park University in Chicago. Coincidentally, he also met his wife Laura Hannah through the YMCA while she was working there part time. Now that Hoffman's career has brought him to Lino Lakes, he is excited to get back into a community with a family setting. “As much as I enjoyed my time in the downtown locations, it's nice to be back in a community setting. Here I get to see a child as young as 6 weeks old all the way up to a 100-year-old senior.” Hoffman said he plans to continue moving forward with the organization's initiatives. One thing he is passionate about is that the YMCA continues to provide access and equity to all youth and serves underrepresented and underserved communities. “The YMCA really binds people together and creates communities within communities,” he said. Other initiatives he plans to pursue include making sure the YMC’s mission extends beyond the building's four walls, building positive leaders, improving community health and spreading the message that the YMCA is a nonprofit organization. “We are a fundraising organization. Ultimately, I want the YMCA to be people's charity of choice,” he said. “We want people to feel like they are a part of something bigger and like they are doing something important for their community when they are a member of the YMCA.” “I am blessed that I have the opportunity to serve this YMCA and this community,” Hoffman continued. “I am inheriting a great situation.

LOCAL INVENTOR: Wants kids to brush their teeth FROM PAGE 1

Syria in 1984 to attend school. Since then, he has been a part of a number of startup companies, including WebMD. Brushies may have started as a hobby — the Brushies office is currently located in Darkazanli's garage, and he has a full-time job — but the product has met with enthusiasm at trade shows and from consumers since its launch in March. Does it all sound like an episode of the inventor/investor television show “Shark

Tank?” That's exactly what Darkazanli thought, and he was right. While showing off Brushies in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronic Show, “Shark Tank” producers approached him. Due to confidentiality agreements, the Lino Lakes local cannot divulge much about the agreement, but he is crossing his fingers he will eventually make it on TV, especially because his biggest challenge now is making the product accessible. “People love it,” he noted. “It's just a question of promoting it.”

Does the fun wear off after the initial excitement? Not from what Darkaznali has witnessed in his own house. “My daughter has been using it for four months and is still engaged … everybody I've spoken with is excited, and I want to make an impact in this space. Kids can get better and better at brushing.” Brushies cost $35 each, including shipping. Find more information about Brushies at MyBrushies.com.

Centerville will hold out for better proposals and technology BY LAREDTER HARDNING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CENTERVILLE — After being ready to seriously entertain the idea of signing up to take part in a solar community, the Centerville City Council decided to say, “Thanks, but no thanks” to participating in a community solar garden to be developed by Geronimo Energy. Following a presentation by representatives of Geronimo Energy at the Sept. 27 meeting, the majority of council thought that earning an extra $2,000 a year could only be good and directed city staff to poll other cities to see how they have fared on the plan. Under the plan proposed Sept. 27, an energy company, such as Geronimo Energy, would build solar panels on a parcel of land and sell the power to Xcel Energy. The power would go up into the grid and be distributed wherever it flows. Public entities like Centerville could subscribe to the community solar garden (CSG) and receive a credit each month on their Xcel Energy bills

for their share of the solar energy produced by their subscribed CSG from the credit that CSG receives from Xcel Energy. Subscribers would then pay their CSG operator, which in Centerville's case would be Geronimo Energy. Over a 25-year commitment, Centerville could receive as much as $51,000 in credits. When interim City Administrator Dallas Larson reported back to council Oct. 11 that he couldn't find a city that could confirm the benefits of joining the Geronimo plan, the entire council flipped over to the side of reluctance. Larson found cities who hedged their bets — committing only partly to one plan — and other cities who joined other plans to lock into low utility rates now to avoid future rate hikes. With another plan, Centerville could potentially save $150,000 during the 25-year period instead of the $51,000 if rates went up. “But again, you're betting on rates going up,” Larson said. “Is this the right time to jump into this or should we wait and let

these things play out — maybe wait for a better opportunity later?” Councilman Matt Montain noted that the city would be signing on to a brand new company in Geronimo Energy. “They haven't even started anything,” he said. The city might be wise to take the option to hedge and consider waiting for something better to come along, he said. “I feel like we're the guinea pig,” Councilman Russ Koski said. “Is this something we need to do? It's extracurricular. A 25-year commitment is not worth the risk — too much is unknown.” “I was one guy on the side of going with the Geronimo plan originally,” said Councilman D. Love. “To me, it's an obvious choice from a savings standpoint. Now I hear we can triple our income under a different method. That sounds like a massive savings over what we'd get from Geronimo.” Councilman Steve King said that he had researched the benefits of joining a solar garden

community and spoke with representatives from Xcel Energy and Connexus Energy to learn that the rates needed to be high enough to pay the solar investors and maintain the solar company. He told council that inflation would eat up any financial benefit over a 20-year period. He said he also wondered where the money came from to pay the investors and discovered that taxpayers would be paying for the project through higher utility rates. “Some places, like Australia, are already putting batteries into their houses,” King said. “Battery technology will far outpace anything in 10 years and put this (solar garden plan) to shame — and here we'd already be locked into this.” “Every little bit helps — like $25,000 over 25 years,” Mayor Jeff Paar said. “There is savings with Geronimo, but we'd be agreeing to something that would hinder us from getting something better down the road as better wind, solar and battery technology come available and rates drop,” he said.

In other action, the council: • Approved the 2018 siren renewal contract with Embedded Systems Inc. for $46.12 per month to maintain tornado sirens. • Decided not to install light pole banners. A set of 16 vintage banners mounted on ornamental light poles would cost around $1,600. Several council members said they would rather spend money on more durable signs at the city entrances that wouldn't need to be changed or replaced as often. • By a vote of 4-0 (Love abstained), approved a $64,694 contract with Bear Roofing for storm damage repair to city buildings. The winning bid was the lowest of three bids; the adjuster's estimate was $41,000. The work will be paid for through the city's policy with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL NOTES

Clear a path to trusted information. PAT ZEITNER I SUBMITTED

Lexington resident Jesse Orr, center, and his real estate agent Sandy Sharpe have questions regarding the assessment to his property on Arona Avenue. Steven Winter, of MSA Professional Services, explains an assessment of a drainage ditch, culvert and easement, and how it affects multiple property owners.

with conditions, to Rocky Radmann, of Shoreview, owner of Broadway Builders, Inc. He currently leases the building and surrounding lot at 9050 Lake Drive, which had sat vacant for more than a year. Radmann wishes to purchase the property, wherein safety upgrades, general rehabilitation and aesthetic items will be addressed. Due to the condition of the property and its prominent visibility from Lake Drive, along with fencing issues, the council approved the license with conditions that meet current zoning requirements, and recommended the owner to work with Planning and Zoning on the appearance of the fence. Acknowledging the years that the property has been in neglect, City Administrator Bill Petracek noted, “I don’t want to lose an opportunity to have this property cleaned up.” Council Member Diane Harris added, “It’s Lake Drive, it’s the heart of our city, I would like it to look nice. That’s what we’re trying to do here.”

The Lexington City Council took the following action at its Oct. 19 meeting: • Held a public hearing regarding the assessments for 2017 street improvements on Hamline Avenue, Flowerfield Road and Restwood Road. Steven Winter, project engineer with MSA Professional Services, presented data and was available to answer questions. • Approved letters and communications to the council, which included a request from CenterPoint Energy for a public utility rate increase of about 6.4 percent per year, or about $4.45 per month for a typical residential customer. The last rate increase was in 2015. Also included were the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) meeting of Oct. 10, which further discussed the Dinkytown Rentals apartment proposal. Discussions focused on rents, occupancy levels and landscaping solutions for buffering the building from adjacent property owners. Glen Rank, controller at Dinkytown Rentals, stated the company hires on-site managers 24/7 to help maintain their properties. • Approved a new business license,

MANNA MARKET: Rescuing people from hardship while reducing waste FROM PAGE 1

The members of SonLight were happy to step up to the plate to host the market, where it has remained for around eight years. “There were a lot of people in the area that were low income and there was a lot of food being thrown away and no place for it to go,” said Bob Cummings, assistant director and volunteer. Every week a truck of 12,000-16,000 pounds of food arrives with fruit, veggies, breads, meats, desserts and much more. The food comes from Second Harvest Heartland, which partners with other community organizations, churches and stores to engage in food recovery and rapid distribution of perishable products that are set aside for donation. “Most food shelves have bags or boxes pre-done that they hand you and usually it is things that are nonperishable — pastas, canned goods. We end up with produce that has come near or at the end of its shelf life,” Burch explained. “It may be right on the edge in the next couple of days, or it may be a week, two or three that it will last.” The market, which feels more like a farmers market than a food shelf, serves approximately 150 families every week, which Burch estimates is around 400 people. There are no income requirements; however, the market only serves people who live in Blaine, Circle Pines, Lexington, Centerville, Lino Lakes and Brookside Mobile Park in Shoreview. “The people who come here are not broke. Maybe they are going through a hard time; one guy was a volunteer for years and never used it until his wife got cancer,” Burch recalled. Ruth, of Lino Lakes, has used the Manna Market for around nine months. She found out about the market from her sister, who was using the service. Ruth turned to the market after many high bills started

The Manna Market has a variety of fruit and vegetables every week in addition to meats, eggs, breads, desserts and more.

pouring in. “It has really helped spread the money out. If I am not spending it all on food, I can spend it on something else,” she said. One thing she has really enjoyed in addition to the variety of vegetables and fruits, is the meats, many of which she has never tried because she couldn't afford them. To Ruth, and many of the market attend-

ees, the market is so much more than food. “If you need help, this is the place to come. The pastor is also available for prayer,” Ruth said. “You feel welcome here. Everyone is very friendly and you don't feel like you are getting a handout. You are treated with respect and you feel important. It is more than just food — it is fellowship, too.”

The Manna Market could not happen without the countless hours put in every week by numerous volunteers. Burch estimates there are around 70 volunteers, with about 20-25 needed per shift. The day of the market, volunteers are at work from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Trent Scharba, of Lexington, has been a volunteer for around six months and also uses the market. He heard about the market from his cousin who also uses the market. “I volunteer to give back, so I am earning this and giving them myself,” he said. After being introduced the market, Scharba also became a member of the church. He has enjoyed getting to meet all of the volunteers in addition to the people who attend the market. Scharba is known as the volunteer who goes out of his way to make kids smile. It is not uncommon for him to give out Popsicles, and he always makes sure to ask them how their day is going. “Not only are we a church and we would love to have the people here, but we want to give back to the community,” he said. “It all starts at home. We can send help to Texas, but we need to help the people who are in our backyard.” Burch stressed the market needs community support, both through volunteer hours and donations, in order for it to continue. It is estimated that at a minimum, the church needs $12,000-$15,000 per year to run the market. In addition to the food costs ($150/week), the costs add up for dumpsters, recycling, transportation, utilities, etc. The Manna Market is held every Monday from 4:30-5:15 p.m. or 5:45-6:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to arrive early for registration.

Tips for a happy Halloween Halloween is a holiday people of all ages embrace and enjoy. Whether it’s tasty treats, spooky masks and costumes or fun decorations, many will take part in this year’s festivities. In fact, the National Retail Federation expects consumers will spend more than $9 billion on Halloween-themed good this year. The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) offers up some simple tricks to avoid the specter of a dreary Halloween, BBB suggests the following: • Stick with the experts. Though not extremely common, some costume shops are open year-round. For more elaborate costumes or simply

for peace of mind, you may want to consider renting your costume from a shop with a permanent address. • Get the facts. Many seasonal stores are run by reputable retailers who take advantage of short-term leases on vacant space to set up temporary stores. However, other shops may be “here today and gone tomorrow.” Be sure you know where to fi nd retailers you deal with after the clock strikes midnight on Oct. 31 by requesting both an address and a phone number. • Renting vs. buying. Do you tend to pick the same costume every year? Most people like to mix it up, but if you do have a go to costume, it might make more sense to buy rather than rent.

• Read the fine print. Seasonal stores have the same responsibilities as a year-round operation. Make sure to note the store’s refund and return policies; familiarize yourself with all of the terms and conditions – they have to be made available. Keep in mind that some stores may not accept returns or even offer exchanges on Halloween costumes you’ve purchased – even if it’s still in its original packaging. • Know what to expect before renting a costume. Many rental costumes tend to be sturdier than Halloween costumes you can buy, but make sure you understand your responsibilities. Be sure everything is spelled out clearly in the rental agreement.

25 homes later, construction program continues to lay firm foundation for students BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

High school students traded books, pens and paper for hammers, saws and measuring tape in a hands-on lesson on home construction in North St. Paul this fall. “We have learned all about the foundation,” said Luke Jeska, a North St. Paul High School senior enrolled in the construction occupations program at the District 916 Career and Technical Center in Mahtomedi. Students spent the first weeks of the course in a classroom at Century College, learning about safety while the concrete foundation was laid by professionals. Now, students are building onto the foundation of a future real home with insulation and wood at the direction of their teacher, Tom Spehn. The house should be completed in June by the students. Spehn started the program in 1999 with a trailer and no classroom, he said. It all began with 28 students who built a home in Vadnais Heights in partnership with a developer. Within three years, 90 students were in the program and developers had a pool of potential workers. “It was really spearheaded by business and industry,” Spehn said. The developers Spehn worked with for the first decade supported the program. When the housing market crashed in 2008, Spehn developed a partnership with North St. Paul to revive its condemned houses. The city basically breaks even but neighborhoods are revitalized. The 24th home built last school year sold for about $300,000. Other students also work on the homes. Century College interior design students work with suppliers on the interior and St. Paul College cabinetry students do woodwork. A variety of career paths sprout from the construction program. “It's made me think about what I can do after school instead of going to a regular four-year college,” Jeska said. He's considering a technical college with a program in airline drone maintenance, he noted. Stillwater High School senior Carl Tomlinson said taking the course has opened his eyes to the trades. He is interested in becoming an electrician or electrical engineer. He will have the chance to learn about the electrical work professionals

will do on the house he is helping build, he noted. One former construction student went to college and is working for Disney World designing rides, said District Communications Coordinator Syreeta Wilkins. Another started his construction career right away and didn't incur any post-second-

ary debt. “He was so successful that by age 25, he was able to purchase a $260,000 home built by students who walked in his footsteps,” Wilkins noted. That student was Frank Pederson, who graduated from Roseville High School in 2010 after spending two full years in the construction program. He landed a job offer before graduating. “I graduated Friday and started Monday,” Pederson remembered. Having two years of experience building two houses from the ground up landed him the work. At the time, he felt like not going to college meant he was a failure, according to the culture of education. But now he feels like he is ahead of the game. Friends of his who went to college are still living with their parents and have thousands of dollars in student debt. His wages are also higher than theirs. He has worked in roofing and framing, and has installed windows. He purchased a house made by students who followed in his footsteps by accident — he was looking at another house in

North St. Paul and drove by it. Pederson was led to the program by a knowledgeable wood class teacher and school counselor. “The whole book study thing never worked for me,” Pederson said. “I was hands-on.” Unfortunately, he was the only student from Roseville in the program at the time. He thinks a lot of his friends should not have gone to college and that college is pushed too much in high school. “It is not for everybody, and I am super glad I didn't go,” he noted. “I would not have gotten anything out of it except for a bunch of debt. Everybody doesn't need to go to school for a job.” He hopes more students can hear about the program. “I can't imagine my life today without that program and where I would be,” he noted.

District 916 offers training for a variety of careers The Northeast Metro Intermediate School District 916 Career and Technical Center offers free training in various career fields at Century College. Many courses offer college credit or industry credentials. During the 2015 to 2016 school year, students earned 2,700 college credits at Century College and other post-secondary institutions. The center is available to junior and senior students in 14 area school districts, including White Bear Lake Area Schools, Mahtomedi Public Schools, Mounds View Public Schools, Centennial Schools, Forest Lake Area Schools and Stillwater Area Public Schools. About 900 students are attending this school year, said Principal Jill Stewart-Kellar. Wilkins said career and

technical education is commonly misunderstood. “There are programs here for every student,” Wilkins said. “I think there are misconceptions out there that the four-year degree is your only path to success.” The career training is available to anyone who is interested in the courses and potential career paths. Courses lead to careers that include law enforcement, computer design, digital design, engineering design, cosmetology, dental, medical careers, EMT (emergency medical technician), human services, animal science, automotive technology, diesel truck and engine technology, auto dismantling, construction, maintenance and event planning. Unlike PSEO (post-secondary enrollment option), the Career and Technical Center has classes that are made up entirely of high school students. Students who find they enjoy a certain class can continue in similar classes at Century College after they receive their high school diploma. In many cases, they simply move to a larger classroom next door to the high school classroom. For example, the cosmetology, dental program and auto programs in the District 916 Career and Technical Center are located right next to a sister program at Century College. Students can shave off half a year of the Century College cosmetology program by beginning while they are still in high school, Wilkins said. Some students can even get professional jobs right after graduating from high school — or before they finish. Auto teacher Matthew Field said he received three phone calls within one week this fall from automotive employers asking if he has students interested in work. About 15 percent of his students already have jobs, he said. Another example: graduates of the EMT program can be hired as an EMT or take further post-secondary education to become a paramedic, Stewart-Kellar explained. Some students come for one interest but end up pursuing another. Roseville High School student Justin Cortez came to the Career and Technical Center to study diesel technology and now plans to pursue law enforcement. He will receive 16 college credits over two years, he said. “It gives me a leg up,” he noted. The District 916 Career and Technical Center has 20 programs for students. Its animal science program, where students take care of all kinds of animals from guinea pigs to goats to exotic birds, is unique in the metro. “We are a hidden gem that doesn't want to be so hidden,” Stewart-Kellar said. District 916 is an intermediate school district that offers shared programming to member districts. The Career and Technical Center is one of those programs.
