POLICE INVESTIGATING: Death of dog in Centerville PAGE 20
To preserve or build new? BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
LINO LAKES — Whether the City Council should try to preserve one of its oldest structures or build new was a main topic of discussion at the council’s Dec. 2 work session. The topic first came up in September 2018, when Mayor Jeff Reinert asked if there was anything the city could do to save the farmhouse, built in 1893, at 509 Birch St. near Rice Lake Elementary School. In December 2018, the council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report by WSB and Oertel Architects for future Wellhouse No. 7, which included reviewing site and geologic data, developing a design concept, preparing basic wellhouse plans, constructing a test well, analyzing test pumping results and preparing a preliminary cost estimate. During the drilling of the test well in March, the well collapsed and was not able to be completed. In June, the council awarded the bid for a second (screened) test well. Jeff Oertel of Oertel Architects and Greg Johnson of WSB attended the Dec. 2 work session to present the feasibility study. “The second test well was successful. It is going to be a high producing well and would have minimum interference with adjacent wells. The water quality would be similar to other (city) wells,” Johnson explained. Now the council has to decide if it should try to repurpose the existing home as a wellhouse or build a new wellhouse. According to the feasibility study, the concept would be to retain the front portion of the house and demolish the rear section. The back section would be removed and the brick reused, if possible. The remaining front of the house would be secured and relocated to a different spot at the same address. Before the move, a new foundation would be constructed at the structure’s new location. The farmhouse would then be set in place and new well equipment would be installed. The original portion of the house would be renovated for storage and the upper floor abandoned. Existing window openings, however, would be used for ventilation. Oertel explained some advantages to repurposing the home into a wellhouse: it would include more space (roughly 30%) than a new building and would SEE WELLHOUSE, PAGE 9
Polar explorer witness to melting ice BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
When polar explorer Will Steger heard the news, he couldn’t believe it, but knew it was real: The 1,250-square-mile ice shelf he had crossed in Antarctica by dog sled had collapsed into the sea. “It caught me by surprise,” Steger told an audience gathered at the Shoreview Community Foundation’s annual dinner last month. Steger also spoke at an environmental awareness event Nov. 21 at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi. Steger had been standing on the ice shelf a decade before. It was the moment when Steger knew it was time to focus his energies on education, not just exploration. “That was my wake-up call,” he said. A portion of the Larsen B Ice Shelf — about the size of Rhode Island — broke up over a month’s time in 2002, during Antarctica’s summer. The ice shelf had been stable for an estimated 10,000 years. Steger believes the collapse is due to climate change caused by increased carbon dioxide levels. The monthly average carbon dioxide concentration has risen from about 310 parts per million (ppm) in 1960 to almost 400 ppm in 2015, according to Mauna Loa Observatory data from Hawaii. Steger has explored polar regions since the ‘80s. He traveled to the North Pole by dog sled in 1986, traversed Greenland without dogs

Silent night – All is calm...
T
he Christmas season is busy with gift buying, entertaining, holiday parties, travel and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Retailers do a big part of their annual sales in November and December. Special sales events intensify the rush to shop. For grandparents, gift buying for children has become so technical that it is almost impossible. Gift cards become a solution if you can’t take them individually on a shopping trip. Greeting cards and letters About the dwindle annually. Emails do their part, if they are not lost in the Town junk email by some sprinkled with Gene Johnson creativity. Phone calls are meaningful, but what we learned is not always good news. Travel experiences from friends have interesting insights, while health issues become discouraging. Concerts and Christmas music are an inspiration. I love traditional foods and special dinners with family and friends. I stand alone when it comes to the Lutefisk. Memories surface of my youth and Christmas gifts like an American Flyer two-rail electric train. It was a Pennsylvania 4-6-2 engine pulling three red passenger coaches and it will always have a special place in my memory. Growing up in the Township along the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad created a lifelong love of trains. Christmas has become more commercial than honoring the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ born of the Virgin Mary. He came as a baby to live on earth and die on the cross providing eternal life to all who believe. The Bible tells the story in Luke Chapter 2. Have you heard about the Founder’s Bible? Kathy learned of it this fall and has been quite impressed with the discoveries of how and why the founders of our country used the Bible as a source and basis for the development of their concepts and ideas into our democratic form of government for our Republic. Reading it together is a good chance to reflect and bring the true meaning of Christmas to your family. Reading scripture, group worship, music concerts and presentations are great ways to bring the true meaning of Christmas into your holiday traditions. Remember, more than 2,000 years ago Jesus was born. That night in Bethlehem was silent and calm as Jesus, the Son of God, was born. He came to earth to relate to humans their need for salvation and eternal life. Today we still have that need and are offered those gifts simply by believing. A quote from Edward Hays in A Pilgrims Almanac: “Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebrations of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem, Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives. Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.” An old abbot was fond of saying, “The devil is always the most active on the highest of feast days.” The supreme trick of Old Scratch is to have us so busy decorating, preparing food, practicing music and cleaning in preparation for the feast of Christmas that we actually miss the coming of Christ. Hurt feelings, anger, impatience, injured egos — the list of clouds that busyness creates to blind us to the birth can be long, but it is familiar to us all. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Minnesota needs a transportation vision
M
innesota legislators have been touring the state this fall, getting a first-hand look at important public assets and infrastructure that is wearing out as they prepare to put together a capital bonding bill. As they travel, they hopefully will take notice of the worn out and increasingly unsafe roads and bridges they are using to travel from point to point. Vehicle weights and traffic fatalities increased in 2018. We’re seeing more wear and tear, and the Movers & roads of greater Minnesota Shakers are becoming increasingly Margaret dangerous, with Donahoe the majority of traffic fatalities now happening on rural two-lane highways. If legislators decide to include funding for local roads and bridges, bus systems, ports and freight rail corridors in the bonding bill, that will make a difference. But it’s also time for legislators to stop treating infrastructure like it’s a partisan issue where one side doesn’t want the other to get a “win.” Minnesota’s support of safer, more efficient transportation options knows no party. It’s time for the legislature to stop playing politics and start working together to address the real need for increases in long-term, dedicated funding that will make our
transportation system safer and more efficient. We’re now 11 years removed from our last ambitious transportation package that sought to shore up our roads, bridges and transit options. Following a decade of work to get caught up, Minnesotans are currently at a crossroads – literally. Will we resign ourselves to paying for vehicle damage from potholes, lost time with family members, more costly products and yearly fatality statistics, or will we demand action from our lawmakers? Back in 2008, Minnesota legislators did the right thing when they voted to increase transportation user fees like the gas tax to create the necessary resources to adequately maintain our transportation system statewide. The bill was vetoed by Gov. Pawlenty, but the legislature was resolute enough in its position that they overrode the veto in a bipartisan manner. At the time, the bill was seen as a 10-year plan for addressing the state’s needs. It allowed for a lot of improvements over 10 years, including new bridges to replace fracture critical ones like the I-35W bridge, expanded highways, better local roadways and better transit service in more areas of the state. As we head into year 12 of that 10-year plan, the transportation system continues to age and wear out. Local governments bear the burden from the lack of state and federal funding increases. In order to keep up with maintenance and needed repairs, local property taxes and local sales
taxes have become the funding source of last resort rather than dedicated transportation user fees collected at the state level. With more deficient local bridges and more local roads wearing out, the state needs to assist local governments with investments both through the capital bonding bill and through a long-term transportation funding plan. Legislators on both sides of the aisle recognize that shoring up our key transportation corridors is important to increasing our productivity and strengthening our economy. It helps producers in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors to get their products to market easier, and allows people to get where they need to be quicker and more safely. But while they agree on what needs to be done, they are allowing partisan rancor to get in the way of these important improvements to the lives of all Minnesotans. Minnesota needs leaders who are willing to put petty partisan bickering aside and take bold action to make the changes needed to get our state moving again. We saw what could happen in 2008 when legislators took bold action and set us up with a 10-year plan. It is time for the legislature to create a new 10year transportation plan to help move us forward as a state, and reconnect our communities for a safer Minnesota. Margaret Donahoe is executive director of the Minnesota Transportation Alliance.

Christmas cookie winner— no contest needed
veryone loves a basic sugar cookie. You really can’t go wrong. Sugar cookies are versatile and they’re easy to make into something special. As much as I loved all the fun and new recipes at Christmas, as a child I liked the basics. When it came to the cookie platter, I’d go for the sugar cookie almost every time. Sugar cookies need to stand alone. They should be perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. Add a little tang or vanilla punch and that’s a good place to start. These simple cookies have been my go-to cookie because you can add some different spices or flavoring to make the cookies unique such as lemon zest, cinnamon, coconut, cream of tartar, or almond flavoring. You can even add chocolate chips. This is the recipe I use for Snickerdoodles and for a summer frosted lemon cookie. I also love dressing them up with some colored sprinkles. Make them your own by experimenting and see what your family prefers.

Vincent has been patiently waiting for a loving family since May. The 48-pound, 3-year-old lab/chow chow mix is looking for an owner with some previous dog experience. Vincent loves to play and be outside looking for critters. He would love to lay at your feet and have his belly rubbed every morning. Vincent is crate-trained, house-trained and treat-motivated. He likes to hang out with other dogs that can match his energy level, but he should not go to a home with small animals due to his high prey drive. Vincent enjoyed learning nose work skills at the rescue and would do very well learning more skills like this. Help us find Vincent a home for the holidays. Fill out an adoption application at ruffstartrescue.org if you are interested in Vincent. Once your application is received, a placement coordinator will be in contact with you.

Overtime goal caps 2-0 week for Cougar icemen BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Jordan Newpower delivered the gamewinner as Centennial went overtime to edge Elk River 2-1 on Saturday, eking out a win despite outshooting the Elks 55-23. The Cougars also beat Osseo 3-2 on Tuesday, both wins on the road, and improved to 2-1. “The guys have played hard this week, and although we aren't scoring a lot of goals right now, we are outshooting our opponents significantly,” coach Ritch Menne said. “We are extremely skilled with the puck, and we will eventually put big numbers on the board.” Newpower found the net 4:56 into the overtime with assists from Carter Korkowski and Connor Thompson. That was their 13th shot of the extra session. Josh Koziol of the Elks was credited with 53 saves.
Thompson scored for the Cougars in the first period. Zach Michaelis tied it for the Elks (2-3) in the third period at 11:27. Cougar goalie Leo Troje stopped 21 shots. “The game vs Elk River was a little tougher with some sickness going through our team and three of our top players didn't play,” Menne said. "We were really proud of our guys and their effort in the OT win.” At Osseo, Henry Bartle drilled a pair of power play goals in the second period on slap shots from outside the circle. Josh O’Hara got Centennial’s third goal, late in the third period. Dale Plannenstein and Adam Larson scored for Osseo (1-2). Centennial outshot the Orioles 40-15. “We had two disallowed goals, but played hard,” Menne said. “It was just a weird night where we didn't seem to get a lot of bounces.”

Barno Family Lights: A decade of perfecting animation
SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
For 10 years, Circle Pines resident Justin Barno has gone above and beyond for the holidays with his animated light display. The show is located at 4102 88th Ave. NE. BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
CIRCLE PINES — A Christmas light show in Circle Pines has taken holiday decorating to a new level. Circle Pines resident Justin Barno is the mastermind behind the show at 4102 88th Ave. NE. During his years at home, Barno helped his parents decorate for the holiday, but he was inspired to go beyond your average Christmas lights and inflatables after he saw Richard Holdman's house online. Holdman is one of the first creators of an animated light display. “I got inspired because I love Christmastime. Every year I try to grow,” Barno explained. For 10 years, Barno has tried to top the previous year's show by adding props and making the show more complex. The show has also trickled its way into his neighbors' yards, with their permission, of course. The show started out as a static display with regular Christmas lights, but has now transitioned into an animated pixel show. Each and every pixel is a combination of red, green and blue, and is programmed to songs. This year's show has nine songs.
“I have taken Christmas light design to a whole new level versus a static display. Just the Christmas tree is made up of 2,300 lights,” Barno explained. His dream is to one day get into commercial Christmas displays. Each show takes a year to plan/program and about a week to physically set up. Every year Barno takes a week off from work to make sure the show is ready to go live around Thanksgiving. It is the smiles that keep him going. “I enjoy seeing the smiles on everyone's faces,” he said. “I get people that come by every night the show goes. It is the same songs, but they still sit there and watch it.” Barno watches “The Great Christmas Light Fight” on ABC each year to keep up with what others are doing in their displays. One of his friends, Ron Howard of California, is on the show this year. Barno met Howard through a social media group and created a Christmas light prop from Howard's display. “It’s really hard to get on that show. They really like static displays,” Barno explained. Despite the minor inconvenience over the winter for Barno's family, they
wouldn't have it any other way. Last year, the family had to hang garbage bags over their windows to keep all of the Christmas lights and car headlights out of the living room. This year, Barno's wife, Nikki, said the family has upgraded to some curtains. “We put up with it because it's his passion. It is fun to come home and see all of the cars out in the road watching what he has done,” she said. Last year, Barno decided that in addition to smiles, his show could also make a difference. During the five-week show, he raised almost $1,200 for the Ronald McDonald House. This year's show again will raise money for that cause. People who donate will receive a wristband that lights up with the show. If you drive by the Barno Family Lights Show, be sure to tune into channel 106.7 to hear the songs. The show will run through Sunday, Jan. 5. As for next year's show, that is already in the works. For more information, find Barno Family Lights on Facebook.

The 1893 farm house located at 509 Birch Street (near Rice Lake Elementary) might be repurposed into a future wellhouse.

preserve a historic property. However, repairs and improvements would need to be made to two stories versus one (in a new building), the farmhouse would require relocation, items would need to be restored and a new foundation would be required. Councilman Dale Stoesz wanted to know if the study looked at the option of recreating the same shape of the existing house (with some of its materials) but building new and if that would result in cost savings. Oertel said, “A new building made to look like that would cost more for sure. That structure is fairly sound, it is in pretty good shape. To move it in the general location isn’t that big of a cost. My gut tells me if you had to build that (replica) ... I think that would be fairly expensive.” It would cost the city in between $850,000 to $900,000 to build a new wellhouse, versus more than $1 million to refurbish and relocate the existing structure, Johnson said. “It would be nice to save it because it is from 1893, the oldest standing structure in Lino Lakes,” Reinert said. “There is this attitude of knocking down and building new, but then you can’t ever bring it back. What is the cost of history preservation is the bottom line.” For now, city staff will continue to weigh its options. “Certainly, several options are still being considered, including using the site for a new well with a new wellhouse. However, there is still a strong interest in preserving the existing building,” said Community

in 1988 and traversed Antarctica by dog sled in 1989-90. “I became an eyewitness to the changes in the polar areas,” he said. He’s seen the increased melting of Greenland. Steger, who spent his early childhood in Mahtomedi before moving to Richfield, fell into dog sledding as a young man after kayaking on White Bear Lake led him into kayaking adventures. While in college studying to be a teacher, he kayaked to the Arctic Ocean from Jasper, Alberta, in Canada. “I was destined to live in the wilderness,” Steger said. One of 10 children, sharing space with five brothers, as well as the influence of his entrepreneurial father, prepared him for a life of adventure. “I never saw barriers,” he said. “If I want to do something, I do it.”

The monthly average carbon dioxide concentration has risen from about 310 parts per million (ppm) in 1960 to almost 400 ppm in 2015, according to Mauna Loa Observatory data from Hawaii.
When Steger lost his job at Outward Bound in northern Minnesota as a young man, he started his own dog sled and ski school to make money. In 1982, he began to take expeditions. Most famous of those is the 3,741-mile International Trans-Antarctica Expedition in 1989-90. For four months, Steger dog-sledded across 3-mile-thick ice. Steger is a descendent of the Schifsky family in Shoreview, the Shoreview Historical Society 2011 Heritage Family of the Year. His great-grandparents, Tom and Anna Schifsky, owned a large portion of land by Turtle Lake, said Bill Conlin, foundation dinner master of ceremony.
He also has ties to Mahtomedi. His mother Margaret was born on a farm near Mahtomedi High School and his father’s family started the Piccadilly restaurant. “Mahtomedi still has wild areas,” Steger told an audience of 550 people at the St. Andrew’s event. “The setting had a big influence on my life.” Steger is currently building the Steger Wilderness Center near Ely for educational purposes. He still embarks on solo expeditions but spends a lot of time on his Minneapolis-based nonprofit Climate Generation, whose mission is to teach future generations about the impacts of climate change. For more information on Steger and his nonprofit, visit climategen.org.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Blaine Burlington burglarized During Black Friday sales around 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 29, Blaine Police Officers were called to the Burlington Coat Factory Store located at Northtown Mall for an assault in progress. Officers arrived and spoke to store employees, who reported that two customers shoplifted items from the store and assaulted store employees.
When employees attempted to stop the individuals from leaving the store, one of the suspects sprayed the employees with a chemical agent. Several employees were affected by the chemical, including one who needed transport to a local hospital. The suspects fled the scene and remain unidentified. The Blaine Police Department subsequently released security video footage
asking for the public's help to identify the suspects. After receiving multiple tips, preliminary information suggests the suspects are juveniles. The video, which tallied more than 550,000 views on Facebook, has since been removed from social media due to the age of the suspects. Additional information will be released if possible.

WEATHER TIDBIT After our wild Thanksgiving week and weekend the weather settled down and we experienced a nice run of December weather. We mixed in a number of days with sun and highs around the 40º mark. This past weekend was even rather pleasant. Then there was Monday, as snow returned just in time for the drive to work. If that wasn’t bad enough we received our second shot of Arctic air as this one was a bit colder than the first one as it brought our first widespread below zero temperatures. The good news is that the cold was in and out in a few days and warmer weather is expected for this weekend. Note: My 2020 weather calendar is available soon.

Home improvements that increase home value When granite countertops or shiny, stainless steel appliances beckon homeowners from the display areas of home improvement stores, it’s tempting to gear remodeling thoughts toward the items that will add air and decorative appeal to a home. Even though most improvements add some measure of value, deciding which are the best investments can be difďŹ cult. Return on investment, often referred to as “ROI,â€? varies depending on the project. Frequently, the projects that seem like the best investments don’t bring the greatest rate of return, while those that seem like smaller projects bring substantial returns. Real estate professionals routinely weigh in with their expert advice, and homeowners can couple that advice with Remodeling magazine’s annual “Cost vs. Value Indexâ€? to reap the greatest ďŹ nancial impact from their renovations. The following were some of the projects that garnered the greatest ROI in 2015. • Open the door to improvement. Region by region across the United States, installation of a new steel door on the front of a home can have a large impact on the resale value of a property. The ROI ranges from 123 percent at the highest, to 86 percent at the lowest — which is still a considerable investment return for such a simple project. Match the door’s style with the style of the house for the best value.
PAINTING & DECORATING
• Turn up the kitchen heat. An attractive kitchen can encourage buyers to overlook some of a home’s less attractive components. In the kitchen, replacement countertops, wall color changes, new cabinetry and ooring offer the biggest ROI. • Dreaming of a new bedroom. Remodeling magazine also points to creating an attic bedroom to increase home value. The ROI of an attic remodel that adheres to code can garner an 83 percent ROI. • Home maintenance projects. There’s little good to improving the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a home if there are existing structural or maintenance issues, warn experts. Siding replacement, HVAC system repair or replacement, a new roof, and basement dampness prevention solutions can be smarter investments before other ashy remodels. Many buyers have a strict budget for a house, and those buyers may be more likely to buy a house with little or no maintenance issues. Such buyers will then upgrade the kitchen or baths themselves, according to Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. • Worthy window replacement. Angie’s List, a home services review and referral resource, has found that the average ROI of new windows is 77 percent. The cost of installation and energy savings tend to offset at around the 10-year point. If remodeling is on the horizon, homeowners should give strong consideration to ROI before choosing a project.

Santa comes to town
A young Circle Pines resident made sure Santa could see him by wearing a Christmas lights necklace. PHOTOS BY SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
The Centennial Fire District, with the help of Santa, held its annual Santa Parade Thursday, Dec. 5 in Circle Pines. During the parade, 1,067 pounds of food, $83 in cash and many toys were collected for the Centennial Community Food Shelf.
Some lucky children on 87th Avenue, who patiently waited for Centennial Fire and Santa to arrive, received Santa bears as a thank you for their donations.
One of Centennial Fire’s engines was decorated with a wreath and Christmas lights for the occasion.

CENTERVILLE — After 19 hours of clinging to life, Buddy, a 3 1/2-year-old dachshund, died from his injuries. Around 11:45 a.m. Dec. 4, Buddy's owner, Danielle Rajewsky, was on the phone with a mortgage lender when she heard Buddy and her other dog, North, a 6-month-old bluenose pitbull, barking outside. Danielle and her boyfriend, Brian Bratten, moved into their home in Centerville on Clear Ridge in April. “I heard them bark a couple times before I started hearing yelping,” Rajewsky recalled. “I thought he (Buddy) was just being a small dog, but then I looked outside and he was laying on his side by the fence, kicking his legs and crying.” At first glance, Rajewsky assumed North had been too rough with Buddy. When she was trying to clean off Buddy's head wound, she knew something was not right. “I knew something was seriously wrong. We left the house with the sliding glass door still open, left my phone behind and ran him to Otter Lake Animal Hospital,” she said.
The doctor explained Buddy's injuries were not from another animal, and an X-ray confirmed that there was an object in Buddy’s head. “We are investigating this thoroughly, and we do anticipate charges,” explained Centennial Lakes Police Department Lt. Russell Blanck. “The determination was that her dog wasn't injured, but that the dog had been wounded by a projectile, most likely a pellet from a pellet gun, but that has not been confirmed.” Despite showing some improvement at the vet, Buddy passed away from his injuries the day after the incident. Blanck said the department attempted to investigate a couple of allegations in the neighborhood from unrelated incidents that date back to the mid-90s, but the department doesn't have any records that go back that far. “We are taking this very seriously. We will pursue the most vigorous charges that are available to us and additional investigation is underway,” Blanck said. There is a GoFundMe campaign set up to help with Buddy's outstanding medical bills. You can find it by searching “Justice for Buddy and
