Local cities prepare to take action on new THC law

North Heights Lutheran celebrates 75 years

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

It is now legal in Minnesota to sell certain edibles and beverages infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabis ingredient extracted from hemp.

The law, which took effect July 1, limits the sale of CBD and THC products to persons 21 and older. There are also limits on the potency of these products. A product cannot contain more than 5 milligrams of THC — delta-8 or delta-9 — in a single serving, and a package cannot contain more than 50 milligrams total.

The law also includes regulation on labeling and packaging to help protect against accidental ingestion and marketing to children.

“Nearly every city was surprised at the outcome of the law,” Shoreview City Manager Brad Martens said. “Cities all over the state are deciding what to do.”

Martens said there are three options that cities can take. They are: • Take no action.

• Implement local regulation.

• Enact a moratorium to study the law in detail.

If cities desire to further regulate CBD and THC products within their jurisdiction, they will need

Store closes after 22 years in Shoreview The doors are permanently closed at the Fresh & Natural Foods store in Shoreview.

“It’s a sad deal after 22 years of serving this community,” owner Kerry Larson said. “It’s really hard and it becomes a part of you after that amount of time.”

Larson said the reason for the store closing is due to competition, the economy and COVID-19.

“The last five years have changed the market dramatically,” he said. “Sales just kept dropping to the point where it couldn’t sustain the store.”

Fresh and Natural Foods is an independent, locally owned organic and natural full-service grocer wholly committed to providing healthy food choices, quality personal care items and

knowledgeable customer service.

“We were really the ones who brought gluten-free and dairy-free foods to the market here in a large way because we recognized that was the cause of food allergies for a lot of people,” Larson said.

When the store closed on July 29, Larson said there were a lot of tears and hugs.

“A few women were crying because the store closed, which tugs at your heart,” he said. “A lot of people were very sad because we closed the store.”

Larson owns another Fresh & Natural Foods in Hudson.

“The Hudson store is going strong, Larson said. “My Hudson staff has already been saying how many people have come to shop who were customers of the Shoreview store.”

The Hudson deli uses the same recipes as the deli in Shoreview did, and everything is made from scratch.

THC LAW: Edibles containing small amounts of THC are now legal in Minnesota FROM PAGE 1

to work with their city attorney to adopt local regulations.

At the Aug. 1 Shoreview City Council meeting, the mayor and council members agreed to allow time for city staff to research the law to implement regulations in the city.

“Having some time for you (city staff) to do some research and make sure that whatever we do is not just a reaction, but to have an actual plan,” said Shoreview Council Member Emy Johnson.

The White Bear Lake City Council has a proposed interim ordinance authorizing studies and imposing a moratorium on the sale of cannabis products.

This also includes the establishment or expansion of tobacco

shops in city limits.

“This moratorium focuses on sales,” said White Bear Lake City Attorney Troy Gilchrist. “It does not get at manufacturing, distribution and testing.”

White Bear Lake City Manager Lindy Crawford said the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy is the state agency that oversees THC products. “There's currently no state level license required to sell the products, and the Board of Pharmacy does not test or approve the products before their sale.”

A public hearing on the moratorium will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at the White Bear Lake City Council meeting.

According to the

League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), the new law does not limit where edible cannabinoid products may be sold.

However, certain businesses by their

Administration.

• be packaged in a way that resembles any commercially available food product.

• be packaged in a container that could reasonably mislead any person to believe that it contains anything other than an edible cannabinoid product.

Circle Pines City Administrator Patrick Antonen said the city is waiting to hear from the Anoka County attorney for guidance on the THC law.

“We are looking into a moratorium but, in all honesty, there really isn’t any business in town that could sell these THC gummies,” Antonen said. “The logical spot for these is independent tobacco shops, which we do not

contain cartoonlike characteristics.

• be modeled after a brand of products primarily consumed or marketed to children.

‘Nearly every city was surprised at the outcome of the law. Cities all over the state are deciding what to do’ Brad Martens Shoreview City Manager nature maybe limited in their ability to sell the products. For example, liquor stores are limited to selling specific items.

Along with testing and labeling requirements, an edible cannabinoid must meet several requirements. It may not: • bear the likeness of a cartoon or

• be made by applying an extracted or concentrated hempderived cannabinoid to a commercially available candy or snack food item.

• contain an ingredient, other than a hempderived cannabinoid, that is not approved by the federal Food and Drug

have. Liquor stores are prohibited from selling them, so the two we have in town won’t be able to sell them.”

The cities of Mahtomedi and Hugo expect the topic will be discussed at upcoming City Council meetings.

Lino Lakes City Administrator Sarah Cotton said, “At this time, there haven’t been any discussions regarding the new legislation at the council level. Staff is currently reviewing the information put out by the League of Minnesota Cities to determine if any action is needed at this time.”

In a reversal from the normal destination exchange, the subject was removed from the ambulance and transported to jail instead.

• The back window of a 2020 Hyundai Sonata was reported smashed in July 20 and the steering column torn apart while the vehicle was parked in an apartment back lot in the 3500 block of Owasso Street. Speculation says that the rather bizarre criminal damage to property may have resulted from an auto theft attempt.

• A 2020 Kia SOL was reported stolen within a twohour period during the early evening of July 20 while it was parked in a lot in the 3500 block of Owasso Street.

• Deputies assisted the Fridley Police Department and the Minnesota State Patrol July 23 with a high-risk traffic stop on a stolen vehicle on I-694 near Rice Street. During the felony traffic stop, deputies drew their weapons and held them at the ready. They also assisted with translation due to a language barrier. The agencies involved safely removed the two occupants of the vehicle and turned them over

to Fridley Police.

• The city of Shoreview reported that the warming house at Wilson Park in the 800 block of County Road F was burglarized and tagged sometime over the weekend of July 22-25.

The “fee” for the loan forgiveness was charged to the victim’s credit card.• A resident in the 500 block of Arner Avenue on July 26 reported receiving bills for a U-Haul storage facility in St. Paul. The caller was advised to call the St. Paul Police Department to file a fraud report.

• A Shoreview man, 41, was arrested on a warrant at 7:45 a.m. July 27 in the 600 block of Schifsky Road and taken into custody without incident.

• Deputies were dispatched to I-694 and Rice Street July 27 to assist the Eden Prairie Police Department on an assault case that could be enhanced into two counts of homicide, pending the medical status of twin unborn infants. Deputies arrived to witness one adult male taken into custody.

• A resident in the 1800 block of Bluestem Lane reported a large potted plant stolen from the patio at 5:00 a.m. July 28. Video showed a male wearing a bright-colored patterned shirt entering the property, picking up the plant and placing it into a white SUV. • A resident in the 600 block of Sunset Court on July 28 reported receiving a letter from the IRS stating that someone had attempted to change his tax return information.

• The city of Shoreview on July 28 reported graffiti painted on the Wilson Park basketball court in the 800 block of County Road F. • A Vadnais Heights man, 36, was mailed a citation July 28 after a Chanhassen man caught him inside his vehicle in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue N. without permission and identified him. It is unknown whether anything was taken.

• An adult male is at large after he stole a company box truck, struck several vehicles in a nearby parking lot and fled the scene, following a report of a gun-pointing incident at 3:12 a.m. July 30 in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway. He is a suspect in incidents that occurred in Mounds View and Blaine that involved male victims of all ages and from Minnesota, Arizona, Connecticut, South Dakota and North Dakota. The case is under investigation.

• A Minneapolis woman reported check forgery July 30 after she discovered five unauthorized checks written on her bank account in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue.

Across my desk

I

AM PLEASED to learn of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline that is now nationwide.

988 is the three-digit phone number to connect directly to the lifeline for crisis care.

Too many people experience suicidal crisis or mental health related distress and need care and help. In 2020 alone, the U.S. had one death by suicide every 11 minutes. For people age 10-34 years, suicide is the leading cause of death.

This new network consists of more than 200 crisis centers that can help thousands of people overcome crisis situations every day. They are supported by local and state sources as well as the Department of Health and Human Services.

Make a note of this number, 988, and have available if your family About the needsititreadily or you need to advise someone else.

Town WITH INTEREST RATES rising, Gene Johnson in part due to slow inflation, I am wondering why banks aren’t increasing the interest rates on savings accounts.

Maybe it is because they don’t need the money.

Consumer savings is a very high number and the banks will continue to make money on our savings. You will have to search far and wide to find rates on savings above 1%.

I HAVE SEVERAL nephews in the automobile business in northwest Minnesota, eastern South Dakota and North Dakota. I called Todd, a GM dealer in Fertile, Minnesota, and asked how long it would take for arrival if I were to order a new car. He said eight to ten months. I asked, “Would you sell it to me at sticker price or is there an add on?” He said, “Well, Uncle Gene, since the first of the year we have had three raises to the sticker price, approximately $2,000 each time. We don’t add to the sticker price. It’s already built in.” When asked about the book price on used cars, Todd said, “If the mileage is at 50,000 to 60,000 miles, they are selling at 20 to 30% higher.

USE OF LAKES in Minnesota and Wisconsin is changing. At one time, in the 1950-60s, water skiing was the most popular sport.

The next wave trending was surfboards, saucers, or a saucer with a chair or a five foot ladder. They were all challenges and sports providing enjoyment on the water.

More aspects of water sports were possible as the horsepower increased.

You see some water skiing on the lakes these days, but it doesn’t seem as prevalent. We see more wake surfing, where the ski boat can take on water in its stern tanks and create a large wake for the surfer.

It’s not uncommon for some of the watercraft to sell for between $100,000 and $200,000. The boats required for wake surfing also tend to be larger, safer, family friendly-boats.

Larger boats can create a bigger wake and the drivers should learn techniques to keep the surf side wave directed toward the center of the lake, along with keeping distance from other boaters. Time will tell if we need more regulations on the lake. Adhering to current laws and common sense should help keep all water sports enthusiasts enjoying the lake.

In addition, we searched and found an excellent new city manager to replace Terry Schwerm who had served as our city manager for 28 years.

We also dealt with the passing of our valued colleague, Terry Quigley, a 20-year member of the City Council. I am especially proud of how we worked together, as a team, and how we were able to accomplish many significant projects despite the obstacles created by the pandemic.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

PAID LETTER Doan deserves a full 4-year term

In my view, it just makes sense to vote for a candidate for the Shoreview City Council who has a strong interest in government and who has participated in our Shoreview and Minnesota state governments for years.

John Doan is such a person.

Not only does John Doan have over 20 years of experience with and in government, but he has also studied it and knows how to make it work for everyday people.

John Doan has served as a gubernatorial appointee to the Metropolitan Council, worked in transportation for Hennepin County, and was co-founder of Mobility 4 All, a personalized ride service for seniors and people with disabilities. John Doan also honorably served our country as a naval officer.

Last spring, my neighbor John Doan was appointed by the Shoreview City Council.

I applaud his appointment and know no one better to fill that seat for the next four years. Mr. Doan served on the Shoreview Planning Commission for over six beginning 8/14/2022 years, two of them as chair, beginning 8/14/2022 and has a graduate degree in public policy from Harvard.

He now works with a local community nonprofit based in Arden Hills.

Most importantly, John Doan is a person who cares about people. He is genuinely an individual who wants the best for others and for our city. His top priorities as a City Council member are: • Support for a strong and vibrant community by enhancing Shoreview’s parks and infrastructure with a commitment to the environment; • Practical community development that supports good jobs and offers housing choices for people to raise a family and retire in our city; • Making smart city investments that maintain and improve the city’s financial stability and cultivating the next generation of community leaders.

That’s why I am voting for John Doan to continue as a Shoreview City Councilperson. He has the background and desire to do an outstanding job for Shoreview and all of us. To learn more about John Doan, go to www.Doan4Shoreview. com.

A Shoreview man, 56, faces up to one year in prison and/or a maximum fine of $3,000 for felony domestic assault causing bodily harm, following a July 26 domestic incident.

At 8:15 p.m. July 26, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue on a report of a male and female having a physical argument in a parking lot.

On arrival, deputies spoke with a witness, who stated that the female participant was the victim in the affair but had warrants out on her and didn’t want to go to jail.

The witness also said that the male participant struck the female violently twice before fleeing across the street and hiding in the bushes. Deputies got into their squad and headed over to that spot when they heard the witness yell, “There he is!”

A male wearing a grey shirt and jeans was walking toward the parking lot. Deputies called out to the male to stop, and detained him. After the male refused to identify himself, deputies employed the InformationBased Identification System (IBIS) to identify him.

The male has a prior domestic assault conviction from November 2021, but was the protected party in an active domestic abuse no contact order (DANCO) that had been served.

AUGUST 16, 2022

From humble beginnings to ministry that changes lives

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

On a Sunday morning Aug. 17, 1947, North Heights Lutheran Church opened its doors for the first time.

“What makes North Heights different is the Holy Spirit came alive here,” Senior Pastor TJ Anderson said. “Which means that we came alive as a church.”

North Heights Lutheran Church in Arden Hills and Roseville is celebrating its 75th anniversary at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, August 21, with a joint service at the Arden Hills campus.

“We’re going to have a family luncheon picnic celebration along with just being able to hang out,” Senior Pastor TJ Anderson said. “We have the back plaza, and it’s just incredible out there.”

Four senior living pastors will join in the celebration — Morris Vaagenes, Bob Cottingham, Per Nilsen and Anderson.

The anniversary celebration kicked off in July with a showing of the “Passion Play” movie.

“It takes the life and ministry of Jesus to the crucifixion and resurrection,” Anderson said. “It was a reunion of the passion play cast, extras and fans to watch together.”

According to Anderson, the “Passion Play” ran for 19 years from 1989 to 2007. There were 296 performances, approximately 450,000 attendees, and 71 animals at each performance.

Throughout the 19 years, the total revenue from the play was approximately $6.8 million. Oldfield noted that once the basic expenses for the production were paid, the rest of the money went to support other ministries of the church.

An Alpha 25th reunion was held on Aug. 13 as part of the anniversary celebration.

“Alpha helps people discover the truth about Jesus in the Scriptures,” Anderson said, “having people walk the journey and answer any questions they have. It’s designed for people either new to faith or (who have) always been involved with the church.”

Historical highlights of North Heights First Sunday school – Oct. 6, 1946 Mission Guild – Feb. 25, 1947 First worship service – May 4, 1947 North Heights formally organized – Aug. 17, 1947 Basement church constructed – Fall 1950 Parsonage built – 1954 Worship center in Roseville opens – 1957 Sanctuary enlarged, fellowship hall added in Roseville – 1975 Purchase land in Arden Hills – 1980 Purchased North Heights School – 1981 North Heights Preschool opens – 1982 Worship center in Arden Hills opens – 1986 North Heights Christian Academy opens – 1988 Family Life Center in Arden Hills opens – 1995

Another event for the 75th anniversary was held on Aug. 14 at the Roseville campus.

“It’s a historical walk-through at the Roseville campus where people can reminisce, reflect and remember the history of North Heights through stories and pictures,” Anderson said. “This is to honor the Roseville campus as the roots of North Heights Lutheran Church.”

History “North Heights started when some ladies decided they wanted to have Sunday School, and they had 11 children at the North Heights Elementary School,” said John Oldfield, senior director of finance and administration. “That progressed until they did a basement church just north of the school.”

Oldfield continued, “They held the service in the basement for a number of years. They built

The church later bought the school from the Roseville School District. Now, it is the North Heights Christian Academy and the North Heights Christian Preschool and Daycare.

“In 1986 we built the worship center in Arden Hills and sequentially we built the educational wing out here,” Oldfield said. “The Arden Hills campus sits on 42 acres.”

North Heights Lutheran has grown throughout the years to include the Celebrate Dance Academy and Christian Karate Academy. It also caters events to faith-based nonprofits.

The church even has its own chef, Sarah Hearn. Both Anderson and Oldfield said she is a “spectacular cook.”

“The key thing that has made North Heights who we are is we have people that love Jesus, love others and are full of the Holy Spirit,” Anderson said. “We have the greatest people here.”

Oldfield said the continuous goal of the church for the next 25 years is to help people find three things in life.

“North Heights equips all people to find faith in Jesus, discover their God-driven purpose and live life with eternal significance,” he said. “Everybody needs, everybody’s looking for a purpose and everybody wants to be significant.”

Strawberry short-take: Local farmers face shorter growing seasons

BY CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

Warm days that overstay their welcome in September may feel like we’re getting a longer summer.

However, these increasingly long, hot summers mean that Minnesota berry farmers are facing a shorter growing season.

Kevin Edberg, owner of The Berry Patch in Forest Lake, saw his strawberry growing season cut in half this year, shrinking from its usual four weeks to just two.

“Part of it is that spring came very late this year,” said Edberg. “Most of the growing seasons have been two weeks later than normal.”

Edberg, who has been farming for over 40 years, has seen the consequences of warmer summers on his berry yield.

While the number of ideal growing days are fewer, there has also been a significant shift in when seasons arrive. This year’s prime growing season occurred two to three weeks later than normal, and that late spring that Edberg mentioned pushed back harvest times by several days for each of his crops.

“The first raspberry harvest is typically the 4th or 5th of July, but this year it didn’t come until the 10th or 12th,” Edberg noted.

Bill Jacobson of Pine Tree Orchard in White Bear Lake said his strawberry season lasts about 10 days total, compared to past seasons, which last several weeks. Hotter than average temperatures in June are the main culprit for the short strawberry season, he said.

Hot temperatures and little moisture send a message to the berries that it’s time to ripen, so many berries are maturing earlier than normal. Strawberries hit a point of “thermal dormancy” at about 85 degrees, meaning that the berries cannot continue to grow once temperatures reach that limit.

When berries ripen too soon, a yield’s total poundage tends to be smaller since berries haven’t had the time to develop and increase in size. Not enough water also means smaller berries since the majority of a berry is water, according to Edberg.

Hot temperatures and little moisture cause berries to ripen prematurely.

“What we’ve seen persistently in the last five to 10 years is climate change, and it is man included,” said Edberg. “Those are the reasons we have water availability issues, and putting more carbon in the environment is causing this heat.”

Local farms aren’t just facing hotter summers.

Snow can be a critical factor to the health of future berries. If there isn’t enough snow on the ground during winter, plant roots don’t receive the insulation they need to survive cold temperatures. While this doesn’t affect crops like corn and soybeans, berry plants are more vulnerable to the cool air, which can reach down totheir roots and kill off the plants.

“Mother Nature throws us a curveball every year,” said John Jacobson, Bill Jacobson’s brother and co-owner. “You get one year to figure out the solution to the problem, and then you get another problem the next year.”

Farms have managed to stay ahead of the curve using new plant varieties, better hybrids and different growing methods.

“The University of Minnesota has been a leader

in creating hybrids. We’re a test orchard for the university, and they’re creating some nice varieties that don’t need as many acres and can produce more fruit more efficiently,” said John Jacobson.

Other fruits, like apples, haven’t suffered as much as fickle berries. According to the Jacobsons, the apple season has gotten a bit longer, though their prime growing season has shifted a bit.

Pine Tree Orchard has looked for ways to diversify the way they grow their strawberries. Tabletop growing, a popular way of growing berries in Europe, is one way strawberry farmers can beat the heat when it comes to their more sensitive crops.

“Climate change really makes my life hard,” said Edberg, who has invested in new irrigation systems that adhere to water limits. “It’s expensive, and I have to think about it more as an investment to deal with the variability of the climate.”

While short seasons and smaller yields have been a major growing pain, both The Berry Patch and Pine Tree Orchard have faced significant labor shortages since the onset of the pandemic.

“We put about 25% to 35% of what we worry about on the weather and the other 50% on the labor shortage and how we’re going to get enough people to run this place,” said Jacobson.

Edberg has seen few high school and college students looking for summer berry picking jobs this year, but he feels hopeful that the labor shortage is just a temporary symptom of the pandemic.

“One thing that I’ve been struck by is how appreciative my customers have been for the opportunity to come out and pick and be outside with their families,” said Edberg. “Maybe it’s a growing appreciation for where food comes from.”

Though the landscape of modern farming is rapidly changing, both farms are thankful folks still want to support their businesses.

It's the farmers’ appreciation for their customers that continues to grow.

“People raved about our chicken all the time here in Shoreview, and the Amish-raised chickens are also the same at the Hudson store,” Larson said. “The produce is probably more extensive over there (Hudson) because there are more local growers in the St. Croix River Valley.”

Larson said the Fresh & Natural Foods in Hudson isn’t that far of a drive from the metro. “It’s about 35 minutes from Shoreview, and it’s all freeway.”

Mustang alum Bateman sparkles for struggling Gophers

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

The upside for Brett Bateman being a Minnesota Gopher is that he quickly became one of their best ballplayers.

The downside is that he joined them just when the program suddenly hit a low ebb.

“Our record has not exactly been what we hoped for,” acknowledged the 2020 Mounds View graduate, “what with Covid, and not executing on the mound, and at the plate, like we should. But overall, it’s been a great experience.”

The Gopher center fielder and leadoff hitter posted a .312 average as a sophomore, second-high on the team. A 5-foot-10, 170-pound left-hander, he led the Gophers with 67 hits and 39 runs (tied), stole 21 bases, made 123 putouts and four assists against just four errors, and was the only player to start all 52 games.

However, the Gophers, long one of the U of M’s best sports programs, went 16-36, on the heels of a 6-31 ledger in 2021, when Bateman was a backup and hit .250 in 26 games.

Those were the only two losing seasons in legendary coach John Anderson’s 38 years at the helm. Anderson has a 604-

400 record in the Big Ten (.601) and 1347-963 overall (.584), with 11 regular season conference titles and 19 NCAA appearances, most recently 2018.

Bateman, currently hitting .330 with the Willmar Stingers in the collegiate summer Northwoods League, is hopeful things will get back to normal with the Gophers, or close to it, in 2022-23.

“I think we can be a dark horse next year,” he said. “We have a lot of young talent that will get opportunities on the field and some juniors and seniors who hopefully will step up in big spots.”

Two of the Gophers’ top three starting pitchers got drafted and another transferred — “our Friday, Saturday and Sunday guys,” Bateman said — but he is excited that the staff will add a solid chucker transferring from New Mexico, and will regain a flame-thrower who missed 2022 with a TommyJohn injury. “And we have some great young arms coming in,” he said.

The players revere John Anderson, whom they call “14,” his number. “He’s one of the great minds in college coaching,” Bateman said.

“Fourteen is a guy who heavily cares about you, about your character

off the field, and your academics. He really gets to know you. He’s more like a mentor than a coach. A father figure.”

Asked about highlights so far, Bateman cited two team experiences. The Gophers had a walk-off win over Purdue his freshman year on Senior Day. “That was so great for the seniors,” he said. A winter get-away trip to Florida, one of the rites of D-I college ball, this February, for eight non-conference games, was uplifting. “We didn’t get to do that last year because of Covid. We really bonded as a team down there,” he said.

A perusal of the team’s box scores for 2022 shows some highlights on the field. Bateman had a pair of three-hit games in Florida, in a 3-1 win over Northeastern and a 14-8 loss to Indiana State.

Back home soon after, he was 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs in an 8-1 win over Kansas at U.S. Bank Stadium. He notched two hits, two walks, two steals and four runs in an 11-4 win over Western Illinois. In the the Big Ten, Bateman sparkled in a pair of three-game series, going 6-for-13 against Penn State and 6-for-15 with three RBI’s against Northwestern, with the Gophers 1-2 in each.

The Gophers were once

an NCAA baseball power, racking up national championships in three straight election years, 1956, 1960, and 1964, and coming close again in 1968, under coach Dick Siebert.

That was long ago.

The power has shifted southward in the modern game, particularly the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences, who have, between them, produced nine of the last 12 champions, including Mississippi this year.

“They obviously have much longer seasons. They can start much earlier, and it shows. They have great weather, ” said Bateman, who followed the College World Series on ESPN closely. “It’s just like with hockey up north. Guys can play hockey a lot more up north and all the great

teams are from up here.”

Bateman, who committed to the Gophers following a good showing at their development camp after his junior year, calls it a dream come true to play for them.

“It’s in my Minnesota blood,” said Bateman, who’s majoring in journalism. “I went to regionals the Gophers hosted (in 2018 when they played UCLA and Canisius. The atmosphere was electric.”

Right after the Gopher season ended, he packed his bags for Willmar, where the players are hosted by local families.

They play 62 games in 66 days in the Northwoods

League, which has 23 teams in four divisions.

“It’s intense, like a major league schedule,” he said.

Summer ball in Willmar is going well for Bateman, who’s batting .330 with 42 runs and 28 stolen bases in 54 games. The Stingers are 48-10 overall, won their five-team division (there are 21 teams) and are currently in league playoffs.

Fentanyl thought to be a contributing factor of increase in drug overdose deaths

11TH ANNUAL

Minnesota public health officials reported a record number of overdose deaths in 2021, following an alarming pattern seen in many other states in recent years. According to a new report issued by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), most overdose deaths in 2021 were associated with fentanyl, a powerful drug that continues to become more common across the country.

The 1,286 overdose deaths reported to MDH last year represented a 22% increase from the 2020 total. On average, more than three people die every day from an overdose of any drug type. For the first time since 2014, there was a larger percentage increase in overdose deaths in Greater Minnesota (23%) than in the seven-county metropolitan area (20%).

“This increase in drug overdose deaths is alarming, but there are things we can do about it,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “One important step is to expand programs that make it easier for people to access naloxone — a medication that can reverse overdoses and save lives.”

Preliminary data from 2021 showed a 35% increase in the total number of overdose deaths involving opioids since 2020 (an increase from 685 deaths in 2020 to 924 deaths in 2021). Drug overdoses from nonopioids also increased from 2020 to 2021, including a 34% increase in overdose

deaths involving methamphetamine (338 in 2020 to 454 in 2021) and 81% increase from overdose deaths involving cocaine (85 in 2020 to 154 in 2021).

Many of the opioid overdose deaths involved synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. These deaths increased from 560 in 2020 to 834 in 2021. Through analysis of death certificates, MDH found that fentanyl was involved in 90% of all deaths involving opioids. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid. A dose as small as three grains of rice can be lethal.

Fentanyl is becoming more common in illicit drugs, and is even laced in other drugs like cocaine or methamphetamine.

The rise in fentanyl circulating in communities could be a contributing factor in the increase in overdose deaths. Resources like fentanyl test strips can help prevent overdose and are available through community partners and local public health agencies. The naloxone finder website on the Know the Dangers website (https://knowthedangers.com/naloxone-finder) can help people locate naloxone, which can be picked up at any time and kept in case of an overdose.

Time waits for no one and changing weather patterns are no different. I wouldn’t worry too much about our recent cooling trend as there is still plenty of very mild weather ahead of us, and it will be a good six weeks before we see trees turning color. The State Fair is just ahead and we’ve experienced some hot ones in the past. Our recent uptick in rainfall has greened up most lawns but we still could use a little more, just not on weekends please. For the time being enjoy our recent stint of milder temperatures.

Times may change, but intoxicated boaters remain persistent threat

BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The mass exodus to the outdoors during the COVID-19 era has been well documented.

Among other things, that has meant increased recreation on lakes and rivers across Minnesota.

Deputy Pete Grover of Anoka County’s Recreational Enforcement Unit was a firsthand witness to the tidal surge of boaters.

He described the last couple of years as “the busiest the lakes have ever been.” He said the majority of boaters were new to boating, and that his unit not only engaged many of them in education about boating laws and safety, but also issued a lot of written warnings.

At the same time, Grover said his department was shortstaffed—another well-known pandemic phenomenon. Combined with increased recreational traffic, this diluted his department’s efforts in the field and left deputies at a disadvantage when it came to keeping waterways safe. It was a situation he described simply as “frustrating.”

While sheriff’s deputies and conservation officers spend a great deal of time inspecting for and educating boaters on matters of safety, like safe operation and the use of personal flotation devices (PFD), one of their primary concerns is keeping a lid on intoxicated boaters. Watercraft operators suspected

of BWI (alternately called “boating while intoxicated” and “boating while impaired”) are top of mind during inspections and rarely, if ever, afforded any slack.

Sergeant Ty Jacobson, of Washington County’s Water, Parks and Trails unit, echoed Grover’s observations about lake recreation in recent years. “The last few years, we’ve seen an uptick … a lot of people took to the outdoors.

This year is busy, but it’s leveled off a bit. It’s trending more toward a normal year.”

Jacobson did not say he has noticed an increase in intoxicated boaters, but that doesn’t mean he has let his guard down. Every time he conducts a “boat stop,” he looks for safety equipment on the boat and signs of intoxication on the operator.

He said that while consuming alcohol aboard boats is not illegal, it may be easiest and best to avoid it altogether. “I encourage people to keep alcohol off the boat. It’s dangerous to yourself and all other boaters.”

The power of

intoxicating substances to create hazardous situations and increase deaths on the water has been studied and tracked methodically for decades.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard’s 2021 Recreational Boating Statistics, published in June of this year, alcohol was the sixthleading contributing factor in accidents and the leading determined cause of boating deaths in the U.S. in 2021.

However, that is not a new phenomenon.

Since at least 2010, alcohol has been the fifth-, sixth-, or seventhleading cause of accidents. Alcohol was the number one cause of boating deaths every single year, and often by a wide margin.

Sgt. Jacobson believes his department does a good job getting the word out, which keeps BWI offenses relatively low. He said their presence on the water is well known.

“Sheriff Starry is committed to having safe waterways. People see us; they know we’re out there. We’re looking for the few that are out there and breaking the rules.”

Jacobson said that like driving an automobile under the influence, boating while intoxicated receives a reaction that is often swift and severe, including forfeiture of the boat.

As an added measure of deterrence, Jacobson also mentioned how BWI and DWI laws in Minnesota have received a degree of homogenization in recent years. The blood alcohol concentration for impaired operation of any motorized vehicle/craft is 0.08, and aggravating factors apply across the board. Intoxicated boating offenses affect an operator’s driving privileges, and vice versa. What’s more, ATV and snowmobile privileges are also included.

As explained in the 2021 Minnesota boating regulations, penalties for impaired operation include “… loss of motorboat, off-road vehicle and motor vehicle operating privileges” and refusal to take a sobriety test will incur the same.

While we are now on the backside of summer, Jacobson said water patrols will maintain their vigilance through Labor Day and the rest of the boating season.

“Drink responsibly and be smart about your decisions. If we find you are intoxicated, we will take you to jail.”

Residents voice concerns over proposed Kwik Trip

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

“I love Kwik Trip, but not in my backyard,” is a statement that seems to resonate with many residents who live adjacent to a proposed Kwik Trip in Lino Lakes.

The Planning and Zoning Board is recommending the Lino Lakes City Council approve a conditional use permit (CUP) for both a motor fuel station and car wash as well as a site and building plan review for a 11,800-square-foot Kwik Trip to be located at the southwest quadrant of CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) and CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road), near the city’s border with Circle Pines and Shoreview.

The 14-acre site is vacant commercial. City Planner Katie Larsen explained that the property is zoned general business and has been guided for commercial development since 1958. The closest residential neighborhoods to the site are Rice Lake Estates in Lino Lakes and The Pine Hollow development in Circle Pines. Larsen said the parking lot is proposed to be about 820 feet away from the closest home and the building approximately 1,000 feet.

“We are very excited about the opportunity on this corner,” said Dean George, a representative of Kwik Trip. “We are happy to be here in Lino Lakes.

We are hoping to bring 25 •toEmployment 40 jobs for this store.”

LUNG

CANCER MONTH

S

ince 2012, World Lung Cancer Day has been observed every August 1st. First described by doctors in the early 19th century, lung cancer was an extremely rare disease for a very long time. Some 150 years ago, people had only heard of this disease, and studies showed less than 1% to 2% of the population was afflicted with it. Cut to the next century, and the scenario changed completely. While still rare in the early part of the 20th century, by the century’s end, it was the leading cause of male cancer-related deaths in more than 25 countries.

No one knew how this happened and what caused this dramatic rise. A scientifically significant handbook written in the 1930s — the Springer Handbook of Special Pathology — postulated that this rise could be a direct result of the increasingly polluted air, greater frequency of traffic, and even an increased exposure to gasses during World War I. But this handbook, like many others, could not explain why lung cancer also rose in countries without any of the above factors.

Smoking was also suspected to be a factor, but no particular importance was given to studying this theory. It was only when studies conducted in the 1940s and ’50s showed hard evidence linking lung cancer to smoking that people realized the ill effects of nicotine and tobacco.

As smoking was now a recognized cause of lung cancer, many people globally did their best to quit this habit, and this widespread movement saw a gradual decline in lung cancer incidence, at least in males.

Unfortunately for the world, lung cancer does not have only one cause. Long-

term exposure (via air) to all carcinogenic materials — among them radon gas, uranium, and asbestos — plays a role in lung cancer development too. By the 21st century, lung cancer-related ailments were common and quickly displaced other forms of cancer on the mortality charts.

With this upward trend came an increased awareness of lung cancers and their causes.

• Lung cancer claims more lives yearly than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined.

• 1 in 16 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer in their lifetime.

• Smoking isn’t the only cause of lung cancer.

• Other factors are exposure to secondhand smoke and air pollution.

American Lung Association, is a national movement to defeat lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men. In recognition of World Lung Cancer Day, August 1st, LUNG FORCE initiative is urging everyone to learn about risk factors for the disease and highlighting the importance of early detection through lung cancer screening.

In support of LUNG FORCE’s efforts to defeat lung cancer, you can take the following important actions: 1. Review the risk factors for lung cancer: It’s important to remember that anyone can get lung cancer. The best way to reduce your risk for the disease is to take steps to avoid exposure to the dangerous substances most likely to cause it. Risk factors for lung cancer include smoking, exposure to radon gas, air pollution and secondhand smoke.

2. Learn about lung cancer screening: A new s creening, a low-dose CT scan, is now recommended for individuals at high risk for lung cancer and has the potential to dramatically improve lung cancer survival rates. A person is considered high risk if they are between 55–80 years old, have a 30 pack-year history of smoking (this means 1 pack a day for 30 years, 2 packs a day for 15 years, etc.), and are a current smoker or have quit within the last 15 years.

If the estimated 8 million Americans at high risk for lung cancer were to be screened, about 25,000 lives could be saved. To learn more, the American Lung Association encourages those concerned about their risk to speak with their doctor.

Good news: New research, diagnosis, and treatment breakthroughs in the last 10 years have brought new hope to patients and their families.

Bad news: There is still so far to go: With a 22% five-year survival rate, lung cancer ranks the lowest among the other most common cancers: prostate cancer (98%), breast cancer (90%), and colorectal cancer (65%).

Join the fight against lung cancer

Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in the U.S. It is time to change this statistic by taking action. You can make a difference by contacting your elected officials in Congress and urging them to support more research for and efforts to protect people from lung cancer.
