home demolition
By ALICIA MILLER
alicia.miller@apgecm.com
The Osseo City Council dis-
cussed the city’s rental hous-
ing inspection program at its
Monday, April 11, meeting.
The council also approved
plans and authorized adver-
tisement of bids for the de-
molition of two homes and
considered the purchase of
rental housing inspection pro-
gram.
“One of the items that we
have been working on for quite
some time, is trying to get an
outside consultant to help us
with the rental housing inspec-
tion program,” City Adminis-
trator Riley Grams said.
Last month, the City Coun-
cil reviewed two proposals for
the city’s program. At that
meeting, the council asked
city staff to negotiate a new
contract with Rum River Con-
sultants.

Kids, parents brave cold

conditions at Champlin egg hunt
By SAM JOHNSON
sam.johnson@apgecm.com
Normally a time to
celebrate the commence-
ment of spring, Easter
egg hunts are a rite of
passage for many kids in
mid-April. But this year,
the outdoor environment
of Champlin’s Easter egg
hunt on a soccer field at
Andrews Park was any-
thing but spring-like Fri-
day, April 15. With tem-
peratures just shy of 30
degrees and a wind-chill
feel factor of nearly 10
degrees, hundreds of kids
and parents bundled up
for a nippy egg hunt led by
Riverway Church that in-
volved nearly 17,000 eggs.
Kids were limited to
about 15 eggs per child,
with each egg represent-
ing an opportunity to find
either a purple prize cou-
pon or one golden ticket
for a grand prize. Also, at
the event were over 1,000
coupons for free chips
and pop courtesy of Er-
bert and Gerbert’s and an
Easter bunny photo op-
portunity.

Dayton discusses possible playfield
By ALICIA MILLER
alicia.miller@apgecm.com
At its April 12 meeting,
the Dayton City Council
provided city staff with
direction for a future com-
munity playfield park.
“One of the top goals
for the two-year period
is to advance discussions
and hopefully move for-
ward on some acquisition
of land,” City Administra-
tor Tina Goodroad said.
“To kind of kick that off,
[staff] wanted to hear from
the CDAA (Champlin
Dayton Athletic Associa-
tion) as to the needs that
they are seeing for such a
facility.”
The city’s comprehen-
sive plan includes guid-
ance for future trails and
areas for parks to serve
the growing population.
These plans include neigh-
borhood parks and com-
munity playfield parks.
A community playfield is
an “area of intense rec-
reational and athletic fa-
cilities of 20 to 50 acres in
size,” according to a staff
report.
Goodroad said the
comp plan includes sever-
al different areas where the
playfield could be placed.
“That was done purpose-
ly so that we would have
multiple search areas,” she
said. “We’ve tried to ac-
quire some [land], but at-
tempts have failed.”
She told the council city
staff was looking for “very
specific” desired next steps
from the council to move
forward with being able to
purchase land for a future
playfield complex. Land

could be acquired through
park dedication or direct
purchases.
Members of the CDAA
presented the council with
its long-term plans and
field usage for the area.
The association’s purpose
is to provide athletic op-
portunities for the benefit
of the youth in kindergar-
ten to 12th grade in the
Champlin, Dayton and
surrounding communities.
John Whalen, CDAA
executive director, said the
association helped with fa-
cility improvements at Mc-
Neil Park with donations.
It is even setting aside
money now for future
fields in the city.
Rick Kloeppner, CDAA
executive director-elect
and Dayton resident, said,
“About six years ago we
kind of took a step back
seeing all the growth in
Dayton, we need to do
some planning associated
with that. We did inter-
views with each of our
internal sports, plus other
sports organizations that
we work with.”
He said two major needs
were identified – an in-
door court space and an
outdoor field – specifically
complexes. He also expects
the number of Dayton
residents participating in
the CDAA programs to
expand from 12% to 20%
in the next five years.
Councilor Travis Hen-
derson asked if there was
a particular area in Day-
ton the CDAA was look-
ing at for a future athletic
park complex. Kloeppner

Charges upgraded in fatal drunk driving crash

By ALICIA MILLER
alicia.miller@apgecm.com
Charges were upgraded in a
fatal drunk driving incident in
Dayton that left one person dead
and another with severe injuries.
Around 4:30 a.m., Sept. 12, the
Maple Grove Police Department
was dispatched to a motor vehi-
cle crash involving three vehicles
on the 15500 block of County
Road 81.
April O’Leary, 22, of Otsego,
was formally charged in Febru-
ary with three counts of criminal
vehicular homicide (operating a
motor vehicle in a grossly negli-
gent manner, operating a vehicle
under the influence of alcohol,
and operating a motor vehicle
with alcohol concentration .08
or more), and three counts of
criminal vehicular operation –all
felonies.
On April 8, the Hennepin
County Attorney’s office up-
graded the three criminal ve-
hicular operation charges from
substantial bodily harm to great
bodily harm. These upgrades are
related to the victim driver of the
Jeep.
According to the criminal
complaint, responding officers
arrived and found two vehicles
in the roadway, both with severe
front-end damage, and a third
vehicle in the ditch with exten-
sive front-end and driver’s side
damage.
The complaint also stated
that O’Leary’s vehicle, a Volvo,
was one of those in the roadway.
The driver of a Jeep was pinned
in the seat with injuries to his leg.
O’Leary was not injured in the
accident.
“The driver and sole occupant
of the Toyota Sienna, victim
one, was deceased when officers
arrived, and was pinned inside
the badly damaged vehicle,” the
complaint said.
Phousalinh Khounpanya, 67,
of Dayton died in the crash from
multiple blunt force injuries, ac-
cording to the Hennepin Coun-
ty Medical Examiner.
According to the complaint,
O’Leary had a strong odor of
alcohol and admitted to drink-
ing “two Coronas.” “[O’Leary]
admitted she had rear-ended the
Jeep, but did not know a third
vehicle was involved,” the com-
plaint said.
At the scene, O’Leary had a
preliminary breath test showing
an alcohol concentration of .19.
An amended complaint added
the driver of the Jeep spent nine
days in the hospital and was
treated for a fractured left femur,
eyelid laceration, lower leg and
ankle fractures, facial bone frac-
tures and fracture of the sacrum
(a large bone at the bottom of
the spine.
The complaint also stated the
victim underwent multiple sur-
geries, needs a walker to move,
has permanent facial disfigure-
ment and is unable to work.
“The Minnesota State Patrol
conducted crash reconstruction
and performed crash data anal-
ysis using modules from two of
the involved vehicles (the Volvo
and the Sienna),” the complaint
said. “Based on that analysis,
the State Patrol estimated that
[O’Leary] was driving west-
bound on County Road 81 at
124 miles per hour in the seconds
before the collision. The speed
limit on the roadway was 55
miles per hour. [O’Leary] rear-
ended the Jeep, which was also
driving westbound. After victim
two was rear-ended, his vehicle
crossed into the eastbound lane
of traffic and struck the Toyota
Sienna. The impact caused the
Toyota to veer off and roll over
into the ditch. [O’Leary’s] vehicle
struck the Jeep a second time as
both vehicles came to a final rest
on the roadway.”
The State Patrol determined
that the speed at which O’Leary
was driving was the primary con-
tributing factor in the accident.
The secondary contributing fac-
tor was her alcohol impairment.
O’Leary plead not guilty to the
six counts she has been charged
with. A jury trial is scheduled for
Aug. 22.

Maple Grove event honoring Earth Day set for April 23

Maple Grove Citizens for Sustainabil-
ity (MGC4S) is partnering with Kristy
Janigo to host an inaugural Earth Day
open-house style event called “How
is Our City GROWing?” at the Maple
Grove Library, 8001 Main Street, Satur-
day, April 23, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Neighbors can bring plants to swap
with other neighbors. Refreshments will
be served, and there will be a gift basket
raffle. For those interested in natural re-
sources and sustainability, this will be a
chance to connect with other like-mind-
ed residents to share ideas about how to
live in an ecologically friendly manner
and celebrate the benefits of the natural
environment.
The mission of MGC4S is to col-
laborate with and encourage local resi-
dents, businesses, organizations, and
governments to work together to help
build a more sustainable Maple Grove.
Visit their website for more information,
https://mgc4s.club or contact mgc4sco-
alition@gmail.com.
The group also regularly shares practi-
cal tips about living an environmentally
responsible life, such as information
about rain gardens, pollinator friendly
lawns, invasive species management, and
recycling. Tammy Fleming, a business
leader and resident of Maple Grove, is
the founder of the group.
Kristy Janigo is a former member of
the Maple Grove Arbor Committee and
an outdoor recreation enthusiast. She
holds a Ph.D. in design and sustainabili-
ty from the University of Minnesota and
is a published author of research on end
of lifecycle textiles.

The city will collect the
license and inspection fees
from the property owners.
In turn, the city will com-
pensate Rum River with
75% of those fees.
Andy Schreder, owner
of Rum River, said the
business is working with
26 different municipalities
in various forms.
“We started expanding
our business to do more
of the rental and licensing
programs,” he said.
The city’s rental licens-
ing inspections have been
delayed for the past two
years.
Carri Levitski, also with
Rum River, said in March
she and city staff reviewed
Osseo code ordinances
and came up with recom-
mendations.
Councilor Alicia Vick-
erman asked what the
results were from the re-
view of the program’s or-
dinance.
“I didn’t see inefficien-
cies per se,” Levitski said.
“The majority of it is just
outdated, and it’s been
about 12 years since that
portion of your city code
has been reviewed. I just
brought everything up to
speed.”
Some of the changes to
the city code include the
language to bring it up to
date, updating the licens-
ing period to run from
April 1 to March 31 of the
following year, and minor
alternations to the infor-
mation required on the
rental license application.
The council also ap-
proved the first reading of
the rental inspection ordi-
nance amendments, and
waved the second reading.
Home demolition
Also during the meet-
ing, the council approved
the plans and specifica-
tions, and authorized the
advertisement of bids for
the demolition of two
homes closest to Boer-
boom Memorial Park.
Eventually, the city
would like to expand
the park to fill the entire
block.
The homes are at 17
Fourth St. NE and 16
Fifth St. NE. The other
homes on the block are
in good condition and
are currently being rented
out.
Lee Gustafson, with
city engineering firm
WSB, said his company
had already completed de-
structive pre-demolition
asbestos and regulated
materials assessments for
both properties.
He said that work was
needed to understand
what materials would be
encountered during de-
molition.
The next step will be
for the council to award
the demolition bids. The
home demolition would
begin around the end of
May, with the project
being completed in mid-
June.
“The cost for this proj-
ect would be funded from
the park capital improve-
ment plan fund.
Police squad
computers
Osseo Police Chief
Shane Mikkelson asked
the council for approval
to purchase two comput-
ers for the department.
“We need to purchase
two new squad comput-
ers,” he said. “These are
replacing our current Ge-
tacs. We purchased these
in 2018.”
These new computers
will have enough memory
to run faster and have
more applications. Cam-
eras will also be added
to the computers for on-
line meetings and online
court.
“These are computers
that we use both in the
office and in our squad
cars,” Mikkelson said.
A quote for the com-
puters from Crystal Digi-
tal Communications is
$6,243.
He added the difference
in price for the computers
compared to 2018 is $200
per computer, including
the addition of cameras
and doubling the memory.
The council approved
the purchase of two Getac
computers for $6,243.

Area man accused of leaving
gun in Portillo’s bathroom
By EMILEE WENTLAND
emilee.wentland@apgecm.com
A Blaine man is charged with leaving a gun in a
Portillo’s bathroom in Maple Grove in March.
Dennis Elliot Worre, 78, is charged with gross
misdemeanor negligent storage of firearms.
According to the complaint filed in Hennepin
County, Maple Grove police responded to a report
of a gun found in a bathroom at the Portillo’s on
Elm Creek Boulevard North.
An employee found the gun on a toilet paper
holder in a stall in the men’s bathroom, charges say.
An officer took the gun to the police department.
Worre reportedly called the police department to
claim the gun and asked how he could retrieve it. He
allegedly admitted he knew how dangerous it could
be to leave a gun in a public bathroom.
If convicted, Worre could face up to a year in
prison or a $3,000 fine.
Cecil “Will” Willard LeFevre
Will LeFevre, age 84 of Maple Grove, passed away

Zaver that he doesn’t feel fits with

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
She continued, “Steve
has been a great advisor
on the business and finan-
cial side of things (as has
my sister Maureen). I tend
to stick more to the details
and logistics side of things,
but Ben is really good at
asking for and taking the
advice he finds valuable
and nicely declining advice
his brand.”
Zaver’s brother Will just
completed a welding de-
gree from Dunwoody, but
will be putting that “on
the back burner to work
full-time for his brother,”
according to Kate.
“Ben also has a business
partner, Hannah, who has
been a sounding board
from the very beginning,”
Kate Zaver said. “They
have lined up our daugh-
ter Maggie and friends to
work after school (they
are juniors at MGSH) and
we will both jump in when
needed. All we need is the
actual product and there is
no stopping Ben and his
team.”
Future of SEEQ
Zaver has big plans for
his company in the near
future.
Currently, the product is
only sold through his web-
site. But he plans to expand
sales of SEEQ in stores and
gyms toward the end of
2022. “ The main reason
we haven’t yet is because
we just can’t seem to stay
in stock ourselves,” he said.
“I think selling out our
first two rounds of inven-
tory has shown proof of
concept at this point,” he
said. “Everything has hap-
pened so quickly that it’s
tough to look too far into
the future, but I’m excited
to be back in stock really
soon. We have held focus
groups and have a lot of
taste testing again to be
ready to introduce two new
flavors in 2022. The plan is
to come out with a flavor
for every color of the rain-
bow.”
Ben is also working hard
to appear on Shark Tank.
He has started a series on
TikTok, which has docu-
mented his sales and why
his product would be good
for the show. He has ap-
plied for the show, and is
now waiting on a response.
He hopes his custom-
ers take one thing away
from the powder. “Hitting
your daily protein goals
is already hard enough
so I hope our product
helps people actually look
forward to their protein
shakes,” he said.

Maple Grove community survey now underway

The city of Maple Grove val-
ues the opinions of its residents
and asks them to provide their
feedback on city services, pro-
grams, and facilities by complet-
ing the 2022 community survey.
The primary goal of the sur-
vey is to assess the attitudes and
opinions of residents by:
• Evaluating city programs
and services
• Determining general per-
ceptions of the quality of life in
Maple Grove
• Identifying issues facing the
community
• Identifying demographic
changes in the city
• Setting benchmarks for fu-
ture surveys
The city is contracting with
Polco as the consultant to de-
sign and administer the survey.
As in the past, a mail survey is
conducted of randomly select-
ed Maple Grove households.
For the 2022 process, a total of
4,800 households are invited to
participate, and each receive a
post card from Maple Grove
Mayor Mark Steffenson in the
mail with details. Residents can
complete the survey online or
by paper copy mailed to their
home.
In addition, starting May 6,
residents age 18 or over have
the opportunity to complete an
“open” community survey that
is online only. The questions for
the open survey are exactly the
same as the random sample mail
survey. However, the responses
for the mailed survey and open
survey are tracked separately. our strengths and areas for im-

Pitching leads Maple Grove in narrow win over Osseo
By SAM JOHNSON
sam.johnson@apgecm.com
Maple Grove’s ninth-
ranked baseball team in
Class 4A opened up the
season with a tilt against a
familiar foe April 11, when
the Crimson hosted district
rivals Osseo. With both
teams led by stellar pitch-
ing, one first-inning run
from Maple Grove ended
up being the difference in
the Crimson’s 1-0 victory
on opening day.
After a scoreless top of
the first, Maple Grove got
on the scoreboard first
thanks to an RBI ground-
out from senior Zane
Vitense which scored ju-
nior Tanner Albeck. From
that point on, the game was
defined by pitching. Crim-
son senior ace Cole Newell
took the hill for the home
team and was stellar, going
five and two-thirds innings
allowing only three hits
and no runs while striking
out 12 Orioles. But he had

The 2022 season opened
with a bang for the Maple
Grove softball team, as
they beat Coon Rapids
13-1 in the season opener
April 11.
Led by two home runs
by sophomore Dani Strom
and one from sophomore
Alyssa Wernz, the Crim-
son put up an onslaught
of runs on the Cardinals
all afternoon in the Maple
Grove Dome, as the game
was moved from Coon
Rapids due to weather
postponements from the
previous week.
By scoring six runs in
the third inning, Maple
Grove broke the game
open early and didn’t let
up, adding two more in
the fifth and four more in
the sixth en route to a 12-
run victory.

He continued, “Be that
