The newly renovated park includes a rentable shelter, playground, restroom facility, patio area and parking lot lights. The playground’s centerpiece features a high-rise tower with a 16-foot tube slide, netting, fire pole and more. Crews also refreshed the beach and improved water drainage to prevent trail flooding. The ribbon cutting event is free and open to the public. For more information, email the Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department at recreation@plymouthmn.gov.

Kris Kaiser By Sam Carlen – Staff writer, Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal Jul 11, 2019, 1:51pm CDT Updated Jul 11, 2019, 2:53pm EDT Lunds & Byerlys said Thursday it will close all 14 of its pharmacy locations next week. The Edina-based grocery store chain will permanently shutter its pharmacies and transfer patient prescriptions to nearby Walgreens locations effective July 17, according to a statement from Lund Food Holdings Inc., the company that owns and operates Lunds & Byerlys stores. Customers will still be able to pick up prescriptions from pharmacies through Tuesday, July 16, a store employee said. "Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult for retail pharmacies given a number of economic challenges within the industry," the company said in a statement, adding that its pharmacy business was recording significant losses. Page 10 The pharmacies are all located in the Twin Cities metro area and are connected to existing Lunds & Byerlys stores. The company said it was remodeling the spaces, though it's unclear if they would be converted into more grocery-store space or used for some other purpose. The fate of the pharmacy employees is also not known. The company's pharmacy operations date back to 2004, when a startup chain called PrairieStone partnered with Lunds & Byerlys to put its pharmacies inside the chain's stores. Lunds later took over the pharmacy operations. Lunds & Byerlys officials couldn't be reached for further information. Page 11 WEST METRO 512663972 Plymouth moves closer to final design for $50 million expanded community center By David Chanen Star Tribune JULY 12, 2019 — 8:21PM Proposed design for Plymouth Creek Center expansion project. Plymouth is nearing completion of its long-running plan to renovate and dramatically expand the city’s 20- year-old community center. The estimated $50 million project has been in the works since 2016, when the city did a feasibility study and found that the 30,000-square-foot community center was at maximum capacity for the population, which had grown by 13,000 since the facility opened in 1999. Although the final design won’t be approved by the City Council until fall, some of the proposed amenities include gymnasiums, an indoor playground, fitness studios, an art gallery and music rooms. Construction is expected to begin late next year. Page 12 “The City Council understands this is an opportunity to build the right facility for our 80,000 residents,” said Parks and Recreation Director Diane Evans. “We want to make sure what we put here will represent Plymouth and the community well.” To pay for the 111,000-square-foot center, city officials plan to raise property taxes and seek $15 million in bonding from the Legislature. The owner of a $300,000 home would see a tax increase of about $80 a year, according to the city’s website. Evans said officials made a great effort to engage the community in the planning process, including three open houses, five events, mailings and an online survey. More than 200 people attended an open house Tuesday, and 800 people responded to the online survey. At least one resident, Kerry Anderson, wrote a letter to the editor of the local newspaper calling the expansion “overkill” and saying that he would rather have the money spent on road improvements. The community center, known as the Plymouth Creek Center, contains small classrooms and a ballroom. A soccer field, covered with a fabric dome for use during the winter, is adjacent to the building. About 300,000 people last year visited the center, which hosts a variety of activities such as weddings, training events and art lessons in addition to recreational and senior programs. There are 75 activities each week and 14,500 hours of facility reservations. While the focus of much of the proposed expansion is athletic activities, the center also would have designated spaces for seniors and other groups, a dance studio, party rooms and a renovated ballroom and theater, said center manager Chris Fleck. The design allows for flexibility in the future, he said. Evans said the city is still reviewing the survey data, but right now it appears pretty favorable. Officials looked at community centers in other cities, “but we are building a center based on what the community thinks we need,” she said. For example, the indoor playground would be larger in scale than similar ones in other cities, she said. “We want it to feel like an outdoor playground since we have so many months of winter,” she said.

But it was difficult to discern that growth in quarterly earnings results posted Wednesday. Abbott posted better-than-expected earnings and hiked its 2019 sales guidance, sending its shares up 3% for the day, to $85.76. While medical devices made up Abbott’s largest and fastest-growing product group, with $3.1 billion in sales in the second quarter, up 7.5%, the biggest growth came from continuous glucose monitors for diabetes and the MitraClip device for mitral regurgitation — products that Abbott was making before it acquired St. Jude. During the three months ending June 30, Abbott also saw strong sales growth of its marquee FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitor, a factory-calibrated blood monitor designed to be inexpensive and accessible for people with diabetes who need real-time blood-sugar data. Sales of the system jumped 73% compared to the same quarter last year, to $433 million, making up the bulk of Abbott’s $600 million in sales of diabetes products overall. Company executives told Reuters that Abbott plans to increase its manufacturing capacity for the device by three to five times in the next few years. Sales of the MitraClip product grew 30% in the quarter, to $169 million. While minimally invasive heart valve replacements are quickly growing industrywide, Abbott makes the only device that repairs instead of replaces mitral-valve tissue. On Monday, Abbott announced the approval of its next-generation MitraClip G4. Page 14 The HeartMate 3 left-ventricular assist device — a complex implantable machine that pumps a person’s blood during late-stage heart failure — saw strong sales growth in the quarter. The exact figure wasn’t released, but the company said that the 25% organic growth in its $201 million heart failure unit was driven by HeartMate 3 sales. That’s a device from the St. Jude portfolio. But other St. Jude categories like heart-rhythm and neuromodulation systems saw sales declines. Sales of heart-rhythm devices likes pacemakers and defibrillators fell by 1% to $548 million, while sales of neuromodulation devices that treat pain with mild electric current fell 3% to $212 million. Asked about that performance, White said, “I’m always disappointed that they’re not growing as fast as we’d like them to. But, I am pleased that we’ve seen sequential improvement quarter-to-quarter in almost all of them.” Companywide, Abbott said it earned $1.47 billion in adjusted earnings, or 82 cents a share. That was 2 cents above the Wall Street forecast. Sales amounted to $7.98 billion, narrowly missing analysts’ consensus target of $8 billion. Abbott is now projecting full-year companywide organic sales growth of 7% to 8%, and adjusted diluted EPS in a range of $3.21 to $3.27. For the third quarter, Abbott announced adjusted EPS guidance of 83 cents to 85 cents. Joe Carlson • 612-673-4779 Page 15
