BLAINE — A longtime market in the Quad community may be under new ownership, but customers should not expect to see any drastic changes. Blaine resident Steve Awad and his father Tony took over Olson's Market in October after longtime owners Mike and Leslie Olson decided to retire and sell their business, located at 10102 Sunset Ave. in Blaine. The Olsons, residents of Maple Grove, have owned the store for more than 27 years. “We are both 71, and it was time to get on with doing something with our lives while we still have reasonably good health,” Mike explained. “The neighborhood has always been supportive, and it has been a pleasure to be there.” Mike added, “The Awads are really nice, good people. They live in Blaine and are truly part of the community and the neighborhood. It made it much easier for Leslie and I to exit, knowing that the store was going to be in good hands.” Previously, Tony owned a gas station in Brooklyn Center for 11 years. Even though Steve was involved in that SEE OLSON’S MARKET, PAGE 9

The Tumble Fun Bus is not your average school bus. If you see the bright lime green bus rolling around town, chances are that somewhere in the metro, children are about to have some fun. Lexington resident Shannon Shepardson, originally from North Dakota, has owned Tumble Fun Bus for 10 years. Shepardson has a master's degree in education and taught at the elementary and middle school levels for 18 years. She also coached gymnastics for 10 years. Shepardson had a friend in Nevada who owned a similar business. She was

inspired to start Tumble Fun Bus years later in Minnesota. “It's the perfect marriage of the two (education and gymnastics),” she said. The full-sized school bus has been converted into a children's gymnastics center that comes right to your door. The walls and floors are padded for safety, and equipment includes a small gymnastics bar, padded beam, mini springboard, vault, rings, mountain climb, monkey bars, zip line, ball pit and more. The heated/air-conditioned bus rolls all over the metro year-round. “Every day it's a different place,” Shepardson said. The bus typically does 30-minute

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Nov. 25 meeting: • Recognized Environmental Coordinator Marty Asleson for 30 years of service to the city. Asleson started working for the city in September 1989 and retired this November. “He has done a lot for our city. He is an employee that everyone has loved to have around. He knows where every blade of grass and tree has been planted and planted a bunch of trees himself,” Mayor Jeff Reinert said. “After 30 years, we are sad to see him go. Lino Lakes is a beautiful place and very environmentally rich, and Marty has been a good steward of our city.” • Approved a special event permit, exempt gambling permit and a temporary on-sale liquor license for the annual Centerville Lions Ice Fishing Contest Saturday, Feb. 15 on Centerville Lake. • Held the second reading of an ordinance enacting small wireless facility standards. Chapter 305 establishes specific requirements for obtaining a small wireless facility permit for installation, mounting, modification, operation and replacement of small wireless facilities and installation and replacement of wireless support structures by commercial wireless providers on public and private property, including in the public right of way. Small wireless facilities are needed to provide the next generation of wireless services (5G), which will allow wireless providers to install lower-hanging antennas connected to fiber optic cable, usually attached to utility poles. The ordinance was approved. • Appointed Anissa Ng to the vacant

police officer position. Ng's hourly rate of pay will be $26.98. She will start in December. • Authorized city staff to submit the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council. Kendra Lindahl, of Landform, explained that the city has been working on the plan for two years. The Met Council has 120 days to review the plan. Following the formal adoption of the plan in the spring, the city has nine months to amend its zoning

ordinances and maps to bring them into compliance with the plan. • Approved a final plat and development agreement for Houle Estates Second Addition. Applicants Guy and Jennifer Houle are proposing a one lot, one outlot singlefamily residential subdivision located at the north end of Ruffed Grouse Road. In 2018, the applicants built a single-family home on Lot 1. Outlot 1 will serve as a recreational area.

• Approved a resolution amending adopted 2019 assessments for individual properties. Property owners at 410 62nd Street requested a connection to city utilities. The total amount to be assessed is $84,245. • Approved the final payment to Dresel Contracting Inc. for the 2018 trunk watermain and trail project. The project provided improved quality water supply and adequate pressure for fi re demand. The project also completed the trail connection from Marshan Lane to Park Court. The city entered into a contract with Dresel Contracting Inc. in the amount of $247,868 for the project. The amount earned by the contractor is $237,070 and the amount remaining to be paid to Dresel is $11,854. • Accepted 2020 Anoka County recycling enhancement grants in the amount of $92,264. Asleson explained that the city receives Select Committee for Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) funds each year from Anoka County to be used for solid waste recycling programs. The basic SCORE Grant includes a fi xed base of $10,000 for each municipality and extra $5 per household. In addition, targeted program funds are available for specific program areas and funds may be for problem areas and yard waste/organics. The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 9, at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at its Nov. 26 meeting: • Heard from Councilman Dean Goldberg, who said that he and City Administrator Patrick Antonen attended a League of Minnesota Cities meeting Nov. 14. Goldberg explained that one of the topics that really interested him was what cities and councils can do to support fi rst responders. He said that the Plymouth Police Department has implemented “Checkup from the neck up,” a mandatory annual visit with a mental health practitioner. • Heard from Mayor Dave Bartholomay, who shared that Census Man recently brought Circle Pines national recognition after he appeared on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” Nov. 17. • Heard from Antonen, who shared the highlights from the Nov. 12 Park Board meeting. “It was a pretty good year for Golden Lake Park despite the

weather not being as great,” he said. Music in the Park was well attended, concession sales were up 8% and the shelter was rented 98 times, two times short of last year's record. • Antonen added that a lot of city parks saw vandalism this past year. The Park Board is considering purchasing more cameras. • Approved the consent agenda, which included Nov. 12 meeting minutes, licenses and general fund, police and fi re disbursements. • Received an Anoka County Regional Economic Development presentation from Jacquel Hajder, economic development specialist. She provided a recap of what has been done for the economic development initiative over the past year and shared an idea she thought the city should consider: a business incubator space. A small tech company could find a temporary home within an existing building in Circle Pines and,

in turn, the county/city would work to provide advisory services, management training, business operation training and, possibly, funding. • Authorized city staff to submit the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council for review. Antonen explained that after the plan was reviewed by the city's neighboring jurisdictions, comments were considered and changes were made. The main change was to Chapter 4 – Water Supply Plan. Information about the city's involvement in the Wellhead Protection Group was added. The Met Council will have 120 days to review the plan, ask for more information or request changes to the plan. The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10, at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

Discovering the love of reading

SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Pines School students have discovered the love of reading. Many have never read an entire book, let alone an entire series, before having access to one of the Pines School libraries. A Pines School teacher decided to reach out to Simone Elkeles, one of the students’ favorite authors. Elkeles writes teen romance and urban ﬁction. The teacher explained that so many of Elkeles books have been read over and over that they have had to go to the school’s “book hospital” to be repaired. After multiple visits to the book hospital, many of the books are now unrepairable.

Elkeles not only offered to donate books to Pines School, but also asked if she could personally deliver them and speak with the students. She spent four hours at Pines School Nov. 20 sharing her story, answering questions, signing autographs and inspiring kids to read and write. If you are interested in donating to ﬁll the Pines School library and inspire kids, contact the school at 763-278-4010 or lkordell@isd12.org.

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL NOTES using water from the city of Blaine and isn’t using the water that was found to violate health standards. The city will need to develop a plan to fi x the problem and have it approved by MDH. • Discussed the Lexington Lofts Development. Councilman John Hughes expressed his concerns about the proposed building’s height of five stories and the project’s proposed setbacks. Hughes stated he wouldn’t support the project if it was going to be five stories high. • Council agreed to officially send the project back to the Planning Commission at the next council meeting on Dec. 5. The project cannot move forward unless four of the five council members approve the development — a supermajority. Currently, there are only four council members, so the project would require that all four vote in support for it to move forward.

• Discussed changing the requirement of a fourfi fths majority vote for zoning changes to a simple majority. This policy has been left in place from when it was a state requirement, which it no longer is. No action was taken on this item. • Heard from Petracek, who said that the city has not received any applications for the current opening available on City Council. (The Quad Community Press followed up Nov. 26, the day applications were due, and Petracek said the city had received two applications.) The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at City Hall. Chris Frye

The Lexington City Council took the following action at its Nov. 21 meeting: • Discussed the proposed levy and budget transfers in a city council workshop. City Administrator Bill Petracek recommend to council that the city raise the general levy by 3% and transfer $40,000 from the city’s reserve fund to the 2020 general fund to ensure the city’s revenue and expenses balance in each of the city’s accounting funds. The increase was discussed at the Oct. 17 council meeting, where council was informed that if the Lexington Lofts apartment project was not approved, a levy increase would be needed due to the loss of anticipated fees collected for the project. The council agreed to move forward with the increase. • Approved a 5% increase in the city’s water and wastewater rates for 2020, followed by an additional 5% in 2021. Petracek informed the council the increase was needed because the city is currently not charging users enough to maintain municipal water, sewer and stormwater utility systems. Council was told that not doing so could jeopardize the future maintenance of the city’s utility systems. A recent study showed that Lexington ranked the lowest for combined monthly charges for water, wastewater and stormwater utility rates for utility providers that serve populations of up to 5,000. • Discussed findings from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) regarding the quality of the city’s municipal drinking water. Council was informed that the city is currently

Finding forgiveness

share my middle name, Leona, with one of my great-grandmothers. Our lives never overlapped, but she’s been on my mind lately, especially following the recent death of my dear grandfather, her only child. Leona was killed in December 1991, three weeks before I was born. Days later, an answering machine message from the county coroner’s office broke the news to my grandpa: his mother had been brutally beaten by someone who broke into her Ohio home, presumably to burglarize it, and was surprised to find her there. My grandparents had just celebrated Thanksgiving by her side, unaware that would be the last time they Between would see her. For my grandparents, dad and the Lines uncles, mourning the loss of their beloved mother, mother-in-law and Elizabeth Callen grandmother was also marked by terrible pain, given the violent nature of her death, and anxious uncertainty, as her killer remained at large for months after. Eventually, after the city offered a reward for information, he was identified, found and arrested. The man who killed Leona initially faced the death penalty, but my grandpa vehemently opposed such a sentence. Driven by their religious convictions and commitment to non-violence, he and my grandma petitioned the district attorney— who was elected on a promise to enact capital punishment more frequently—to seek an alternative sentence, and the district attorney eventually conceded to their principled insistence. The man instead received life in prison without parole; he would not kill again but neither would he be killed by the state. The experience led my grandparents, meanwhile, to join the anti-death penalty movement and later to meet Leona’s murderer face-to-face, offering forgiveness and reconciliation. I was a baby when these events unfolded, but I think of them often and am driven to tears of awe when I do. In the face of far less egregious offenses, I have held onto my own bitter resentment much more tightly. I do not know if I could push aside hurt and grief in this same way. I cried again last week when my dad recounted this same story during the eulogy at my grandpa’s funeral. He closed by reading part of the testimony that my grandpa delivered during the sentencing back in 1992: “We do not have hate in our hearts,” he told the judge. “We rest in this way of justice.” My grandpa was among the most tender, generous and sincere people I have ever known, and it is certainly true to say that there was no hate in his heart. But like my dad noted at his funeral, it would be a disservice to characterize his heart solely by what it lacked, as it was full of so many other, more wonderful things—kindness, compassion, joy, a dedication to justice, and a deep curiosity about the world and others—which all rendered hatred incompatible. The light and love he exuded throughout his life left no room for darkness, and in the midst of a tragedy that he knew he would spend the rest of his life grieving, these things led him away from easy anger and blind retribution and toward mercy. Soon, the side table in my living room will bear an antique lamp that I inherited from my grandparents. It is blue and gold, with flowers painted along the base and small crystal prisms dangling from the lampshade. It clashes terribly with the other décor in my apartment, but I love it all the same, especially because before it belonged to my grandparents, it belonged to Leona. Each time I look at it, I will think of her, the remarkable son she raised, and the light he brought to a world that so desperately needs it. I am overjoyed to think of them reunited at last.

New warnings about winter sports injuries

his is the season and Minnesota is the place for shredding powder, sledding slopes and generally enjoying the cold and snow. Think of all the ski clubs and community hills packed on the weekends. And all of us parents trying to get our kids off devices and outside despite our winter weather. This is why new research just out is particularly concerning for Twin Cities parents. According to the new study out of the University of Massachusetts’s Medical School, grade-schoolers almost three times the odds Movers & had of having a serious skull or facial fracture while skiing or Shakers snowboarding, compared to older Carolyn McClain children. And older kids had more than twice the risk of younger kids of having an injury to their abdominal area. The study looked at 845 kids' inpatient hospital admissions related to snow sports injuries from sports including skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter outdoor activities. More than half of the kids admitted to the hospital needed major surgery. Injuries included leg and arm fractures, spleen injuries and head injuries, including skull fracture. The study author points out that young children have more

fragile and thinner skulls and facial bones, so even if they're not going as fast as older kids, they're still at risk of injury. Here in Minnesota, you can’t keep kids away from winter sports, but parents can keep a few things in mind: • Invest in a good helmet. This is not the time to shop on a budget. • Wear that helmet. Many of us grew up skiing/ snowboarding/sledding without them. Today, we know better, especially since the risk of head injuries is so high with winter sports. • Take formal lessons. • Help your child master skiing or snowboarding in areas without severe drops, trees, crowds of other skiers or any other obstacles that pose a risk to kids just trying to learn how to control their skis. • Stick with your kids when they are still learning and give them a clear understanding of the symbols and colors on the hills mean. You don’t want a beginner trying to conquer a double black diamond run. This is the season to enjoy winter sports. Be sure you’re taking the necessary measures to make sure your children do so safely. Dr. Carolyn McClain, Medical Director of The Urgency Room

Hope for the humbled

Peter 5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. (New King James Version) Being in relationship with Jesus, is often not an escape from storms in life, but rather a faith-lift and assurance through the storm. Endurance, not escape, is the watermark of spiritual maturity. Much thinking today is less about serving and Paster humility and more about prominence and being Ponderings served. The “all about me” is the death struggle we see Sam Burch in relationships and many other areas. Admittedly, humility is not a popular pursuit in today’s culture, and probably never has been. Book sales, even those labeled Christian, will soar if they will give us the means or the secrets to being on top in this world. Yet, Jesus, according to Philippians 2:8, actually “humbled” and emptied Himself of many “rights” so that we who were hurting could have hope and healing in life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Time to lower drug prices

When I was a child, I learned that being down under protection in a storm or tornado was best. We were told to go to the cellar, as it could save our lives. I learned that being under a blanket, (in Minnesota), was warmth. I learned that being “under” my father’s broad shoulders was safety in life’s scary places. Under was not a bad thing depending on what was over you. I realize not all earthly fathers are dependable, but long before my earthly father left this earth, I learned that being under the love of my heavenly Father was dependable and my ultimate safety. What security there is in knowing today that when I am humbled, I am safe and protected in a God who is mighty and will lift me up in His way and time. The hand of God is mighty for me today, and even in the life’s most difficult days and seemingly endless noise, I can live under His mighty hand and be safe, secure and at rest. Perhaps then I will learn His compassion is the greatest exaltation, not competition. Sam Burch is the pastor of SonLight Church of the Nazarene in Circle Pines.

Kids and thin ice a dangerous holiday combo As excited as they are about the holiday season, many kids are equally curious when it comes to the ice. Talking with children about ice safety now will help them stay safe during this festive time. Lakes and ponds that appear frozen are inviting spots for ice skaters and children looking to explore. But ice thickness varies greatly at this time of year. Measure ice thickness in multiple locations before walking on it. There must be at least 4 inches of solid, clear ice for safe walking. Even if the ice is thick enough for walking, always watch children closely. It can be easy to overlook precautions during outdoor holiday celebrations, so put safety first by following ice safety guidelines.

It's a national disaster that we pay so much money for drugs in this country. So many diabetics, and they are being squeezed by the prices for insulin. This cannot be allowed. Congress must get busy and fix this. Delores Petersen Circle Pines

ICE SAFETY GUIDELINES No ice can ever be considered “safe ice,” but following these guidelines can minimize your risk while on the ice: • Always wear a life jacket on the ice (except when in a vehicle). • Children need to be supervised when they are near the ice. • Warn children to stay off ponds, streams, and other bodies of water. • A thin coating of ice on a pond or lake does not mean it is safe. • Check ice thickness at regular intervals – conditions can change quickly. • Before heading out, inquire about conditions and known hazards with local experts. • Avoid channels and rivers.

The minimum ice thickness guidelines for new, clear ice are: • 4 inches for ice fishing or other activities on foot. • 5-7 inches for a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle. • 8-12 inches for a car or small pickup. • 12-15 inches for a medium truck. • Double these minimums for white ice or ice covered with heavy snow.

If you did any traveling this Thanksgiving, I don't need to tell you what driving was like. We knew we were in a bit of trouble when 6" of snow fell on Nov. 26-27, although roads did clear quickly during the day on Nov. 27 which made driving easier. Thanksgiving was cloudy, but weather-wise, uneventful. If you over-stayed your welcome and didn't leave until Saturday or Sunday, driving was a bit more treacherous. Saturday we were pelted with ice, snow and freezing rain. Sunday was a steady series of passing light snow. Just enough to keep roads wet and slick. I hope everyone made it back safely. In all I totaled about a foot of snow.

OLSON’S MARKET: New owners plan to keep ‘status quo’ FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED

Olson’s Market, located at 10102 Sunset Ave. in Blaine, recently changed ownership. Longtime owners Mike and Leslie Olson, who owned the business for over 27 years, decided to retire and sell the business to a father and son duo, Steve and Tony Awad.

operation, this will be the first time he will take on ownership responsibilities. Steve said the main attraction to buying Olson's, despite the short commute, was the neighborhood. “This neighborhood is really nice. I enjoy the interactions with the customers; they have all been very welcoming,” Steve said. “I used to work in another neighborhood that wasn't as tight-knit, and the people didn't care about their neighborhood.” Steve graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2008 with a degree in computer engineering and a minor in management. The Awads do not have any big changes planned for the business, as they want to continue to provide what customers have come to expect over the years. “We are going to keep the same contracts going; we have the same employees and the same deals,” Steve explained. “People who have been coming here a long time are used to what he (Mike) offers in terms of service, products and employees.” Of course, any change of ownership brings some uncertainty. Shortly after it was announced that Olson's would be under new ownership, rumors started to circulate on social media sites and

mobile apps such as Nextdoor. There was some concern that the business was going to have a smoke shop in its former DVD section, which Steve says is not true. “Some things are blown out of proportion,” he said. “I don't blame people for reacting the way they did. That means they care about their community.” Instead of a smoke shop, Steve would like to turn the corner of the shop into a space where area artists can either display and or sell their artwork, crafts and jewelry. Local artists can reach out to him to work out the details if they are interested. Another rumor going around was that the new owners were getting rid of the former employees, which Steve said is also false. He confirmed that a couple of employees recently left for other reasons, among them a move out of state and a job change. “I like all the employees; they all have great relationships with the customers and are very professional. I want to keep that going,” he said. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

visits, sometimes longer, at home day cares, day care centers, preschools and Montessori schools, as well as at special events, field trips and parties. The visits can be yearly, monthly, every other week or even weekly. “This is a great way to keep kids physically active,” Shepardson explained. “It is such a great foundation for their balance, strength, their confidence.” Nikki Calvin, owner of Natural Wonders Child Care in Lino Lakes, found out about the Tumble Fun Bus years ago on social media. For the past four years, the bus has visited her in-

home day care every month. “I like to give the kids extra experiences. Especially in the winter: it gets them outside, gets them active and gets them doing something new,” she said. “It is all about risk taking, and boosts their confidence as they keep growing their skills.” Calvin added that she has seen many of the children repeat the skills they practice on the bus on her outdoor playground. At the end of the day, Shepardson said, she gets just as much joy out of seeing a child accomplish a skill as much as the child does. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

The Centennial School Board recognized this year’s Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors at the Nov. 18 meeting. Pictured are Kailey Groess and Claire McArdle (Amelia Phommady is not pictured).

The Centennial School Board took the following action at its Nov. 18 meeting: • Recognized the year's Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors Kailey Groess, Clarie McArdle and Amelia Phommady. The board also recognized new district staff, including Food Services Director Tara Forner, Building and Grounds Director Tim Burton and Activities Director Brian Jamros. • Heard from Aaron Nielsen of MMKR, who presented the 2018-19 audit report. Nielsen said that the district received an unmodified, or clean, opinion on its fi nancial statements and there was only one fi nding that had to do with internal control over compliance with federal procurement requirements. More information about the audit is available on the district's website isd12.org. The board approved the audit. • Heard from Superintendent Brian Dietz, who explained that people from around the region and across the state visited Centerville Elementary Nov. 19, after the school was selected as a showcase school for the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program. Twenty-eight educators from White Bear Lake Area Schools, Eveleth-Gilbert Schools, Buffalo Hanover Montrose Schools, and Virginia, Minnesota, attended to see how the school utilizes the program. • Received a presentation from Director of Curriculum and Instruction Caleb Drexler Booth on the World's Best Work Force Report. “The World's Best Workforce Report was part of legislation back in 2013.

efforts and show connections between various programs within the district,” Drexler Booth explained. In the report, the district must set goals for itself in five areas: equitable access to excellent and diverse teachers, all students in third grade should be able to read at a proficient level, closing the achievement gap between student subgroups, all students need to be college- and career-ready by the time they graduate, and all students must graduate. • Approved an increase in community education fees for 2020-2021. Explained Director of Community Education Cori Sendle, “We haven't increased our fees since 2016. We are consistently looking at our enrollment numbers, our income, our expenses; and as our expenses continually go up, we are just looking to balance that out to make sure that we are not going to go too far one way or the other. We are proposing a few rate increases.” The increases will be for tuition and registration fees for Centennial Preschool (formerly known as School Readiness and Kids Club Preschool) and summer Kids Club. See the district's website for the full breakdown. • Approved changes to schedule B (activity

and adviser) positions. Director of Human Resources Dan Melde explained that at the middle school, the newspaper position would be eliminated; however, the yearbook adviser position would go from six weeks to nine weeks. At the high school, the third band activities position (which hasn't been used for a while) would be eliminated and the two existing band activities adviser positions would increase from 13 weeks to 15 weeks. Melde said overall, the district is decreasing the budget by about $13,000. • Approved the 2019-20 and 2020-21 paraprofessionals contract. • Approved a resolution establishing combined polling places. The 2017 Legislature required that school boards must designate, by resolution, combined polling places by Dec. 31 of each year. The combined polling places include two precincts, one at Lino Lakes City Hall and another at the Centennial Performing Arts Center at the high school. • Held the second reading for revised policies. Changes were made to reflect Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA) model policies. The policy revisions were adopted. Shannon Granholm

Cougar girl cagers start 2-1 against tough schedule

FILE PHOTO

Jodi Anderson, shown here during last year’s section tournament, has scored 48 points in the first three games.

Centennial girls basketball has won two of its fi rst three games. The Cougars beat Apple Valley 57-44 on Nov. 22 at the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic in Hopkins, lost to No. 5 ranked Lakeville South 65-51 at home Nov. 26 and nipped No. 6 Eden Prairie 65-62 there Saturday. “This team is quite resilient,” said Jamie Sobolik, who took over as head coach this year after 10 seasons as an assistant, and after the team graduated four Division I players the last two years. “We go through a lot of ups and downs during the game, which is expected with a young crew that has plenty of talent and potential. We tend to give up some runs but bounce back with runs ourselves.” Sobolik had a successful debut against Apple Valley. Jenna Guyer, senior post, led with 12 points and 16 rebounds.

The Cougars had scoring punch around the dial with Grace Johnson, Jodi Anderson and Camille Cummings sinking eight points each, Sydney Kubes seven, Hannah Herzig six and Hailey Herzig five. Cummings got the fi rst basket of the season, a threepointer, and hit another trey to give the Cougars a 8-6 lead. They stayed in front the rest of the way, by as much as 14 points. When Apple Valley got within 4841, Kubes answered with a three-pointer to get the lead back to 10. Against Lakeville North, Guyer and Anderson, a junior guard, netted 22 points each and Hannah Herzig added 10. Lauren Jansen tallied 25 points and Sarah Kuma 21 for North, which was opening its season. “We had a tough time containing Jensen and Kuma in the second half,” said Sobolik.

The Cougars led 30-27 at halftime with Anderson scoring 14. North’s all-stater, Jansen, scored 17 of her points in the second half. The Cougars trailed 54-48 before rallying to tie the score at 59 with baskets by Guyer, Johnson, Anderson and Hannah Herzig. Kuma answered with a three-pointer for North. The Cougars were within 63-61 and had the ball but Kuma stole it with 12 seconds left. In the close win at Eden Prairie, Anderson led with 18 points, eight rebounds and five steals. Her last steal came at midcoast with the Cougars behind 62-61 with 20 second left. She drove to the hoop got fi led and sank both free shots for the lead. The Cougars made all 14 of their free shots. Guyer notched 16 points and 17 rebounds. Kubes added 10 points, Hannah Herzig seven, Hailey Herzig six and Johnson and

Cummings four each. Nzeka Oblazor hit 16 and Natalie Mazurek 14 for Eden Prairie (1-2). The Cougars had a 13-0 run in the second half with eight points by Kubes, gave up a 12-0 run and answered with a 6-0 run to pull back within two. “This group of girls works extremely hard on the defensive end and focus on trying to take our opponents out of their comfort zone. We have tried multiple defenses the fi rst three games and I have been very pleased with how well we have adapted in each game.” No longer blessed with the size advantage they enjoyed in recent years, they have “placed a major emphasis on our rebounding” with regard to aggressiveness and positioning, and have out rebounded each opponent by at least 10, led by Guyer.

Use renovations to create healthier homes Home renovation projects are done for several different reasons, whether to update styles, repair damaged or broken items or to achieve more living space. More than ever before, homeowners are choosing improvement projects geared toward making their homes healthier. Establishing a healthy home means different things to different people. For example, to an environmentalist, a healthy home may incorporate eco-friendly or green products. To those with young children or mobility-impaired seniors, a healthy home may be one free from potential hazards. Others may view a healthy home as one that alleviates allergies. The World Health Organizations says inadequate housing conditions, such as poor ventilation, radon, urban pollution, and moisture issues, can contribute to many preventable diseases and injuries â€” especially respiratory problems, nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Furthermore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air quality as a top ďŹ ve environmental risk to public health. EPA studies have found that indoor air pollution levels were roughly two to ďŹ ve times greater than outdoor pollution levels. People interested in making their homes healthier can embrace these renovations and lifestyle changes. â€˘ Be aware of furniture materials. Toxic PBDEs, which are chemicals used as ďŹ‚ame retardants on furniture fabrics produced prior to 2006, can send toxins into the air. Some manufacturers may still use these ďŹ‚ame retardants in new forms, but with similar risks. Before purchasing furniture, ask if a product is treated, and

651-487-9188 Bmonty42@comcast.net

select naturally ďŹ re-resistant materials like wool and cotton. â€˘ Lighten up. Lighting is often underappreciated but can have a dramatic impact on whether a home feels inviting, warm and/or uplifting. Experiment with different types of bulbs and lighting ďŹ xtures to turn drab and dreary environments into brighter places. Lighting may improve mood and productivity. â€˘ Let the sun shine in. Modify window treatments to let more sunlight into the house. There is evidence that the sun, particularly UV light, is a potent bactericide. The Sunlight Institute advises that thereâ€™s no harm in letting natural sunlight do its work, as bacteria within eight feet of low-intensity UV light can be killed in 10 minutes. â€˘ Inspect and service wood-burning appliances. A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology has found regular inhalation of wood smoke limits immune activity and function, and anyone who burns wood indoors should be aware of these potential health risks. Ensuring proper ventilation of smoke and routinely cleaning the chimney can help cut down on particulate matter. â€˘ Turn to nontoxic cleaning products, pesticides and insecticides. Always opt for nontoxic, natural products when cleaning in and around the house. â€˘ Declutter the home. A cluttered, hectic space can affect emotions and mental state, never mind attracting dust and making a home harder to clean. Spending time in spaces that do not elicit stressful feelings is healthier and can help residents to rest and recharge. Making a home healthier can be on the list of this yearâ€™s renovation plans.
