LEXINGTON — Mayor Mike Murphy has announced that he will request a recount for the 2022 election results at his cost.

According to the official election results that were canvassed Nov. 17, 818 ballots were cast. Former Lexington Fire Chief Gary Grote won the election with 50.33% of the vote, or 380 votes, compared to Murphy’s 49.27% of the vote, or 372 votes.

“I will be doing a recount at my cost, the reason being is based on the total number of votes; there were 891 ballots returned to the city of Lexington. Of those 891 ballots, the city states that only 818 cast a ballot for mayor; of those 818, only 755 cast a vote for either myself or Mr. Grote or write-in,” Murphy said.

“It is a serious undervote for a contested race, and I just want to be certain of the numbers, that only eight votes separate us.”

Grote commented, “We had an election, we had the results. My opponent does not like the results and is going to do what he wants to do.”

A recount is scheduled for 9 a.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 30, at the Anoka County Government Center in Anoka. The count is expected to take approximately two to four hours. According to Lexington Deputy Clerk Mary Vinzant, the recount is estimated to cost about $1,200. Murphy will pick up that cost unless the result changes or the voting system performance was unacceptable. In that case, the city would need to pick up the bill.

LINO LAKES — Developer Integrate Properties LLC, continues to make refinements to its plan for the Robinson Sod Farms property. It has presented another concept plan for discussion while it prepares to submit a planned unit development (PUD) development stage plan and preliminary plat.

“We wanted to take this opportunity to come to you as the board and discuss some things to hopefully give the applicant a little more direction … To hopefully give them some more finite information as they are putting their plans together,” City Planner Katie Larsen explained to the Planning and Zoning Board.

Circle Pines reflects on long-range plan for streets residents.

Former Council Member Deb O’Brien said the thing that stood out to her about the projects was that residents were engaged.

“Typically, people don’t show up to council meetings, but when we had a street reconstruction project, they showed up,” she said.

Former Council Member Dan Greensweig added, “Our residents understood the importance of preserving our infrastructure; they understood the importance of asking us hard questions and making sure that we sharpened our pencils as much as we could. In the end,

Centennial Utilities considers changes to future rates

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — The Centennial Utilities Commission is expected to set utility rates for 2023 in January.

For the past six months, the commission, along with city staff, has worked with Ehlers, the city’s financial adviser, to complete a rate study.

“This is a comprehensive look at all of our utility rates, gas, sewer, water, storm sewer. We haven’t done a rate study in a long time,” explained City Administrator Patrick Antonen.

Nick Anhut, of Ehlers, recently presented the study’s findings to the commission.

“It is a customized approach. We are really looking at the profile of your community and your specific needs to try to devise the best strategy for going forward,” Anhut said. “We evaluate each fund independently to put them all in the best position to make sure that they can be self-sufficient and generate revenues without the need for subsidy from another fund or city participation ...”

For the gas utility, the first recommendation is to charge all residential users a fixed monthly amount. Currently, customers that reside outside of Circle Pines (Lino Lakes and Blaine) but are served by the utility, are charged a surcharge. Ehlers recommends increasing the meter charge from $11.50 a month to $15 in 2023 with subsequent increases of 9% in 2024 and 2025, 8% in 2026 and 5% increases each year from 2027 to 2031. Anhut said with those increases, the gas utility would achieve self-sufficiency by 2030.

Although the customers that don’t reside in Circle Pines won’t

notice the increase as much because they are used to the surcharges, Circle Pines residents will feel the increase a bit more.

For water, Ehlers is recommending some changes to the tiered system for residential users.

“We are proposing to tighten those tiers to better align them and to encourage some water conservation,” Anhut explained.

“We don’t think this is going to have a large impact on your user classes, but it would tighten it up and it will provide a more meaningful signal in the summer months when they do choose to water more.”

In addition, Ehlers recommends increasing the flat rate by 3% in 2023 for both commercial and residential users. For sewer, the study recommends converting from a tiered rate system to a flat rate, and subsequent increases to that fee from 2024 through 2031.

For stormwater, the study found that the utility needs to increase its revenues by 25% in 2023 in order to help pay for a planned $150,000 pond excavation project.

For single-family homes, Ehlers recommends increasing the fee from $8 to $10 a month in 2023, with another $1 increase in 2024 and 5% increases in subsequent years.

It’s important to note that the commission can review the study and its recommendations annually and make any changes it deems necessary. “This is a gradual approach. You can review the previous year … and decide to increase or decrease depending on new circumstances,” Anhut said.

Avoid tragedy by talking with kids about ice safety An early cold snap means some lakes and ponds across Minnesota are beginning to freeze. However, this ice isn’t safe to walk on, and the water underneath is dangerously cold.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds everyone to be extremely cautious around the water and, with children at home, to talk with them about the risks of cold water and ice.

While ice is never 100% safe, ice in the early stages of formation is particularly dangerous. Falls through the ice or into open water at this time of year can turn tragic quickly, and each year result in serious injuries or deaths.

Parents and guardians need to be especially vigilant about watching kids and ensuring children’s innate curiosity about the water and ice doesn’t put them at risk.

“Kids, and people who haven’t experienced winter in Minnesota, may not have enough knowledge to mitigate the risks associated with cold water and early ice,” said Col. Rodmen Smith, DNR Enforcement Division director. “Talk to your kids, talk to your neighbors—we all have a role to play in keeping people safe as the

winter season gets underway.”

Anyone who recreates on the ice should wait until there’s at least 4 inches of new, clear ice before walking out onto it. Other tips for staying safe around cold water and on the ice include: • Wearing a foam life jacket or flotation suit.

• Not going out alone—and letting someone know about trip plans and expected return time.

• Carrying ice picks, rope, an ice chisel and tape measure.

• Checking ice thickness at regular intervals; conditions can change quickly.

• Bringing a cell phone or personal locator beacon.

• Inquiring about conditions and known hazards with local experts before heading out.

For more information about staying safe on the ice, including thickness recommendations for various types of activities, see mndnr.gov/icesafety. For more information about surviving a fall into cold water, see mndnr.gov/coldwater.

Big C reoccurs

HAVE BEEN told that men wholive long enough will get prostate cancer. The experts have even charted it. At the age of 50 you will have a 50% chance, at 60 years old a 60 % chance, at 70 years old a 70% chance, and so on.

In 2004 at the age of 68, my PSA was climbing.

The family doctor wasn’t concerned. After conversations with a good friend Stan Bakke of White Bear Lake, he advised me to check into Mayo Clinic.

We did that and on Dec. 28, 2004 I had a radical prostatectomy at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rochester. Dr. Segura, the surgeon, told me after the surgery some cancer cells had escaped and they may manifest themselves in the future.

Five years later, the PSA started to climb and I had radiation treatments at Minnesota Oncology in Maplewood. The PSA dropped dramatically. I was good for another five years when it to climb again. The About the started Mayo team recommended that I get a Lupron injection every 4-6 Town months and again the PSA went Gene Johnson down to under 1.

The following September my PSA went from 1 to 6 in four months. The rule of thumb is if it doubles in a year you need to give it serious attention. In October I had a Choline PET scan and an MRI at Mayo. It was clear the cancer had come alive in the lymph nodes in my lower abdomen.

After consulting with Dr. Choo in oncology and Dr. Kwon, an immunologist at Mayo, it was recommended I start a series of 25 radiation treatments and this time begin taking an Xtandi capsule for a period of time until the PSA drops to an acceptable level.

Why do I share this in a community newspaper column? Men can be fearful of dealing with health issues. When this first occurred, I wrote three columns and I had men coming into my office to discuss their situation and what they might expect. Some of them said their wives wondered why they were going to a newspaper publisher for medical answers. A lot of times doctors have not gone through the experience.

I thought the more I could explain, the more helpful it might be.

Little did I know the column would travel worldwide through different sales and industry representatives. Many of them told me how they made copies of my columns and shared it with friends who were having similar experiences.

So that’s why this column is a reminder to men that you don’t have to die from prostate cancer if you take care of it early.

Over the last 20 years there have been a lot of advances in treatments and especially in robotic surgery that was just being tested when I had my prostatectomy. New drugs have also become available.

I want to be an encourager and recommend that men tackle the issue immediately when they know about it. Some hospitals in the world today treat it by freezing and some by radiation only.

Do we ever clear cancer from our bodies? Yes, I think there are some instances where it’s true, but I also think that cancer has ways to outlive various treatments. Am I an authority on it? Not at all.

The bottom line is to get more than one opinion. Take an action, don’t delay. Be thankful for the advancement of medicine.

Our bodies were created by our Heavenly Father as living temples. The Holy Spirit can provide comfort and healing. The Bible is filled with many promises. Give thanks for every experience. It will build your endurance.

Thank You: ‘Look forward to returning to normal life’

I

have been blessed and honored to represent and serve this state and community in the Minnesota Senate for twelve years.

Running for public office never crossed my mind – never.

I have always been a passionate believer in freedom, liberty and empowering people. And I have always been passionate and cared deeply about this state and country.

That is probably why some friends asked me to run in 2010.

I hadn’t been Legislator to the Capitol since the fourth Lingo grade. From the Senator Roger first day when I was sitting Chamberlain in the Senate chamber during orientation, I was overwhelmed and awed.

The Capitol is a magnificent and beautiful building; a gem in this state. The building inspires as much as the quotes on the walls.

You cannot read the quotes and serve in that building without

feeling a deep sense of respect and purpose, and being inspired to do good.

During my time in the Senate, I had the opportunity to meet amazing people and learn amazing things. The noise and messy business of politics clouds memories and creates obstacles.

Nonetheless, working together we did accomplish good things for the community and state.

Protecting White Bear Lake and groundwater, banning cancer-causing chemicals, creating and protecting jobs in Hugo, making significant progress for kids with Dyslexia, and improving the way we teach reading. Just as important, we provided funding to begin addressing the dangers of too much screen time and social media for kids.

As tax chair, we passed the first middle-class tax cut in years, began to lower taxes on social security income, and gave relief to farmers and small businesses. As K-12 education chair, we passed the biggest mandate-free funding increase in ten years and worked to empower parents and educators.

Working together we stopped the

disastrous, unpopular bus line to White Bear Lake. Finally, I authored and passed legislation to protect kids and lemonade stands from overzealous government regulations.

All of that said, it can be a tough job and there were times when you question your own sanity; “is it worth the price?”

It takes a toll on your family; they feel it and bear the weight and stress as well. We live in the community, and not behind gates and walls.

The level of discontent in the community is, to say the least, unsettling. But that is human nature I suppose. There is still a lot of beauty in this world and many reasons to be grateful – a newborn baby, a sunset on the lake on a summer evening, an old bookstore, or an old pub.

Thank you! I was blessed to serve for 12 years. I made a lot of friends and we accomplished a lot. I look forward to returning to a normal life with my family.

God’s peace and blessings to all of you!

Roger Chamberlain served as the Minnesota Senator for District 38. He did not win re-election to represent District 36.

center of the development as well as many stormwater ponds.

Larsen explained the three main things she wanted to discuss further with the board were lot size and lot depths, PUD public benefits and the transition from the Carl Street neighborhood to the larger singlefamily lots in the development.

The concept plan proposes 55-foot, 65-foot and 75-foot-wide lots with varying lot depths. Larsen said city staff would like to see a minimum lot of size and depth established.

For example, in the Watermark development, lot depths for the 55-, 65and 75-foot lots are all 130 feet deep, with the exception of some 120-foot lot depths on properties that abut open space. For comparison, the city’s standard R-1, single-family residential district requires 80-foot lot widths and 135-foot lot depths. The R-2, twofamily residential district requires a 60-foot lot width and 125-foot lot depth.

Planning and Zoning Board Member Perry Laden said he would be more comfortable sticking with the 130-foot lot depth as opposed to allowing some smaller lot depths abutting open space. “I understand there are a lot of different things we can do to improve price points, but I’d rather see that we have bigger lots than smaller lots, which I think is echoed by a lot of residents in the city.”

Chair Michael Root said he liked this concept plan better than the previous one, but was still skeptical on lot sizes, particularly the 55-footwide lot.

In terms of public benefit, Larsen explained the commission could consider asking the developer to create a stronger greenway/trail corridor, creating a tot lot and dog park area within the townhome area of the development and requiring higher architectural standards.

Board Member Nathan Vojtech said he would like to see some lots eliminated so that there could be a public park/lake access. “We already

have a private lake in that area that no one can really see unless you have a lot there,” he said. “It would be great to give every resident a shot at seeing that water other than just when you are driving by between houses.”

Although several of the commissioners agreed architecture standards are important, they weren’t sure whether that was a big enough benefit to allow for lot size flexibility and a PUD. As for the transition from Promenade to the abutting Car Street neighborhood, Larsen said city staff would require the larger (75-foot-wide lots) be incorporated in the southeast quadrant of the development to provide more of a natural transition from the existing larger, rural lots in the Carl Street neighborhood.

Several Carl Street residents attended the meeting to share their thoughts with the commission.

“We are not here to fight the development; we are just here to help shape it. Being Carl Street and Air Park residents, we really don’t want to see our street impacted,” Randy Rennaker said. “Why are we creating a neighborhood that is going to benefit those folks (new residents), make it easier for them to get around town at the expense of folks who have been here, paying taxes, enriching the community?”

Bonnie Bigler said as the developer is preparing these plans, she, as well as the other Carl Street residents, would like to see the new development not connect to Carl Street.

Larsen explained that although that possible connection will be discussed in the future, the focus of the concept plan discussion was lot sizes and depths, PUD public benefits and the transition from the Carl Street neighborhood to the development.

The developer is working on revising some of the plans before submittal of the PUD development stage plan and preliminary plat.

Fentanyl test strips aim to save lives

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Fentanyl test strips are a harm-reduction tool to prevent a drug overdose and are legal to possess, carry and distribute in Minnesota.

According to the Minnesota Department of Health, fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is used medically to treat severe pain. Illicitly manufactured fentanyl is driving an increase in drug overdose deaths, both nationally and in Minnesota.

Overdose deaths in Minnesota involving synthetic opioids, including fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, increased by 81% — 298 to 539 deaths — from 2019 to 2020.

Ramsey County Public Health has a syringe-exchange program at Clinic 555, located at 555 Cedar St. in St. Paul, where individuals can get free fentanyl strips.

“I really believe these test strips are saving lives,” said Jessie Saavedra, opioid prevention coordinator for Ramsey County Public Health.

“People are taking time and slowing down by checking their drugs and are not in a rush to do them.”

Saavedra started working in the syringe exchange program at Clinic 555 in 2018.

“At that time we were giving them out, but very scarce-

ly,” he said, “mainly because we weren't seeing fentanyl in the streets as much as we started to see in 2019 and 2020.”

According to Saavedra, in 2021 more people were asking for fentanyl test strips at Clinic 555 because they knew fentanyl was beginning to show up in more of the drugs they were using.

“Most of the drugs that are being sold on the street are laced with fentanyl and, unfortunately, when they are using the drugs, they are getting used to the fentanyl,” Saavedra said. “That's what's so scary about this, and that's why having these fentanyl test strips as a harm-reduction tool is helpful. It's not the answer, of course, but it's just another tool.”

HOLIDAYS Boutiques, Arts & Crafters Events, Decorations, Gifts, Trees

Saavedra noted that xylazine, a drug used as a horse or cattle tranquilizer, is becoming more common.

“It's not as prevalent here in Minnesota as it is in Chicago or Pennsylvania, but it is here,” Saavedra said. “If you're using fentanyl cut with xylazine, it makes the fentanyl last longer. It's a totally different kind of high and it makes you pass out.

And the worst part is that Narcan (overdose reversal medication) is not effective on xylazine.”

He continued, “The particles are so small in fentanyl and xylazine that it doesn't take much to overdose on.”

Saavedra said he estimates that Clinic 555 distributes approximately four to five packs per day. “If you see 30

people, probably 90% of those individuals are going to take the test strips.”

Fentanyl test strips detect the presence in both opioids and nonopioids, but may not detect all fentanyl. Their accuracy is dependent on how people use the test strip.

“They are not as accurate as they could be, but they are if you use them right,” Saavedra said. “For example, if someone is using a baggie to put their dope in and they're only testing the right side of the baggie, the fentanyl could be on the left side of the baggie.”

According to Saavedra, fentanyl test strips are being developed to be more accurate. “Hopefully, when that new technology comes out, it's the same cost or cheaper, and

we can get those out to individuals just like we're doing now,” he said.

“If we could give out magic pills to get everybody to stop using, that would be ideal,” Saavedra said. “Access to treatment and access to care is the number one thing that is the best tool for anybody.”

The 555 Clinic is open from 1 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Free fentanyl test strips can also be accessed from one of the providers listed below: • Steve Rummler Hope Network, https://steverummlerhopenetwork.org/.

• Rainbow Health Syringe Service Program, https:// rainbowhealth.org/community-resources/syringe-exchange/.

• North Point Health and Wellness Syringe Service Program, https://www.northpointhealth.org/harm-reduction-testing-services.

Laura Perkins, public information manager for the Washington County Sheriff's Office, said Washington County does not distribute free fentanyl test strips at this time.

Anoka County Communications Director Erik Thorson said he is not aware of any organization in Anoka County providing free test strips.

Council tables action to suspend, revoke day care license

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

LEXINGTON — At its next meeting Dec.1, the City Council will likely decide whether it wants to revoke, suspend or approve a license for Little Rabbit’s Hole day care.

A city license for the day care, located at 9012 Griggs Ave., was approved back in May. Now, city staff and its attorney are recommending the council either suspend the license and develop some conditions under which it could be reinstated, or revoke it.

“The purpose of having a city license in the first place is so that the city can maintain order, can inspect its businesses and make sure that they are legally compliant, “ said City Attorney Kurt Glaser. “In this case, the applicant applied for a business license to run a child care license back in May and has been given the

have made progress over the last six months, that’s huge in the industry we are talking about. It’s not like they are opening a coffee shop or a little café on this site,” he said. “The timing for this meeting should be at least six months from now if you guys want to be fair. I don’t think (the license) should be revoked or even suspended, because they are in no way beyond the time frame that it takes to get stuff like this done.”

Mayor Mike Murphy said, “The business has been sitting in our community for months looking like a blighted building. The grass has not been cut, the backyard looks completely disastrous, the toys are rotting and that is not exactly what we want for our community. We have had zero communication with Mr. Botan despite several outreaches to him.”

He added, “We are here to figure out if this is a legitimate business that is actually going to open up in our community, or if it is going to sit like this for another nine months.”

City Administrator Bill Petracek said the biggest problem he sees right now is the lack of communication.

“If this is the kind of business you are going to run, even if you do get this open, we are probably going to be at the same type of hearing even after you open the business, because we have got to have the place looking nice and it’s starting to look run down …

We are trying to make this community look nice, and you are right (off of) Lake Drive there.”

Council Member Brandon Winge said he didn’t see any reason to take action on the license pending the DHS inspection. “I don’t think there is anything nefarious going on. I think it was just taking time, and you were bad at letting her (Vinzant) know what was happening and because of previous experiences, we started thinking now this is going to take two years of a building sitting there being run down,” he said.

The council ultimately decided to table the item to Dec. 1.

One streak ends and another streak begins. Our 12day streak of cloudy weather came to an end on Nov. 19 only to be followed by a 10-day sunny streak. The sunny and dry streak covered the Thanksgiving Day, period making (it for those who traveled) a worryfree experience. As with all streaks, they come to an end. Clouds and snow moved in on Tuesday as did some cooler temperatures.
