Teacher of the Year is Hugo native
Sheriff’s Office recognizes county’s heroes
BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Oneka Elementary fi fth-grade teacher Maggie Clark, a native of Hugo and alumna of Hugo Elementary School, is the 2018 White Bear Lake Area Schools Teacher of the Year. “I really feel like I am a product of my environment from growing up in White Bear, and my family and my colleagues,” Clark said after she was named at a celebration event with other finalists at White Bear Lake Area High School – South Campus April 19. “I just hope this award reflects back to all of you and the love, support and encouragement you have showed me on my journey.” Clark was nominated by over 20 former and current students, said Principal Teresa Dahlem. Students also surprised her by joining the audience in the South Campus Theatre. Dahlem read several statements students had made about her: “She always makes learning the fun way instead of the boring way.” “She is the best teacher on earth, so loving and creative, I would have her as a teacher a million times if I could.” “If there were more teachers like Maggie Clark, the world would be a better place.” Other students mentioned how she works one-on-one if needed and understands if you make mistakes, inspires by telling students anything is possible, and helped a student to start to like math more. Dahlem said Clark didn’t start out as an elementary school teacher. She worked fi rst at her alma mater, the University of Wisconsin – River Falls in the new student family programs. However, she used personal days to sub at Hugo Elementary, Dahlem said, before being hired at Oneka Elementary. “Life has a funny way of leading us to our callings,” she noted. Her past experience transitioning students from high school to college assists Clark in her work with fi fth-graders transitioning to middle school. “Teaching kids is all about teaching them to conquer
transitions,” Dahlem said Clark told her. Other fi nalists present at the event were Ben Kirkham, North Campus language arts; Cassie Knutson, South Campus science and technology; Alli McCann, North Campus language arts; Melanie Tlusty, Central Mid-
STILLWATER — The Washington County Sheriff’s Office conducted a Recognition Ceremony April 12 at the Washington County Historic Courthouse in Stillwater, citing citizens and Sheriff’s Office staff who garnered honors in the past year. A Life Saving Award was presented to citizen Tevfi k Anafarta, who also received an award from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Anafarta witnessed his brother and a friend pull kayaks across the ice and into open water on Forest Lake in December. Then he saw the kayak tip pointing out of the water and someone trying to swim. He drove back to his house, grabbed an aluminum boat, dragged it down the shoreline and across 75 to 100 yards of ice to open water, reached the victims and pulled them out after they had been in the water for 20 to 30 minutes. A Lifesaving Award was presented to citizens Peter Dahlberg, Omar Awad, Todd Nesvold and Mark Trembreull. The men were skiing in Lake Elmo Park Reserve in February when a 62-year-old male had chest pains, nausea and

Horse show at State Fairgrounds exhibits the best BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
If you’ve never attended a horse show, you’re missing out. At least that’s what North Oaks resident Stephanie Peterson will tell you. Peterson, a longtime equestrian enthusiast, joined the hosting committee behind Friends of the American Saddle Horse Show, or F.A.S.H., as insiders call it, in 2001, the first year it was held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Forest Lake resident Ellen Erchul competes in Friends of the American Saddle Horse Show (F.A.S.H.) in 2016.
She said, “People love riding and showing their horses in the historic Coliseum.” She is now the show manager but has also participated in the show. This year’s annual event will take place May 10-13. “It’s a thrill to enter the the arena riding your beautiful horse, with music playing, its tempo matched to the gait of the horse, and the crowd cheering. You can feel your adrenaline pumping. Even the horse knows it’s show time and ‘turns it on.’ It’s exciting and challenging!” What is F.A.S.H.? F.A.S.H. was started in 1981 by local trainers and exhibitors to provide an
opportunity to compete and socialize their Saddlebred, Morgan, and Hackney ponies— all energetic, high-stepping horse breeds. It has since grown into a strong regional show. F.A.S.H. will feature top-notch horses from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Colorado. Peterson and the committee enthusiastically welcome people of all ages and abilities to come watch this free show. “If you attend, you will have the opportunity to see some of the best Saddlebreds, Morgans and Hackney Ponies in the world compete,” she explained. “Many of the horses at our show are SEE SADDLEBREDS, PAGE 16

shortness of breath, and collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. The citizens who were skiing began CPR and used the park’s AED, or automatic external defibrillator. The man made a full recovery. Another citizen Lifesaving Award was presented to Morgan Johnson. Last August, a 17-year-old female had left work and was eastbound on the frontage road heading toward Greeley Street in Stillwater. She had left work because she was feeling ill. Her vehicle left the road just before Greeley Street and went into a pond at that intersection. The vehicle started taking on water and sinking while the driver was still inside. Many individuals were stopping and one individual, Johnson — who was 15 years old at the time — saw the vehicle sinking. She immediately dove into the water and to the sinking car and helped the driver escape the vehicle and get to shore, where the driver was transported by ambulance to the hospital. A Lifesaving Award was given to Deputy Sara Peulen, who responded to a medical call in Hugo last August. A 50-year-old man was in cardiac arrest. She performed CPR until the
ambulance arrived. The man returned to consciousness prior to the ambulance leaving. Two deputies and a reserve were also given Lifesaving Awards for responding to a call from St. Croix County in Wisconsin about a boat that was on the St. Croix River on the Wisconsin side of the river across from the King Plant. Deputies Scott Freemyer and Larry Cornell and Reserve Craig Mueller responded and found people on the boat overcome with carbon monoxide fumes. They removed two victims from the boat and provided medical assistance. One person died from the poisoning. Deputy David Crist also received a Lifesaving Award. In February, Deputy Crist and Sgt. Randy Otto from the St. Paul Park Police Department responded to a medical call in St. Paul Park. A 72-year-old male had fallen and was unconscious. Once on scene, Crist and Otto began CPR and applied an AED, or automatic external defibrillator, until medics arrived on scene. The two are credited for assisting the man with a successful recovery. Letters of Excellence were presented to a number of staff from the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputy Tim Wessels, Jr., was presented with a letter for making five boating while intoxicated arrests in 2017. Wessels is a part-time staff member, and BWI arrests are not an easy process, considering temperature, weather and a swaying boat. In addition, Wessels developed a flow sheet to assist other deputies through the BWI process when they make an arrest. Deputy David Sawacke was given a Letter of Excellence for recognizing a possible heroin overdose while assisting with a medical call in Hugo in February. The fi re department was assisting with a medical crisis for a 27-year-old, providing CPR while Sawacke spoke to witnesses and found possible heroin use. Naloxone, an anti-opioid treatment, was administered to the victim and he regained consciousness. Reserve Craig Mueller was also given a Letter of Excellence for the assistance he gave at a house fi re in Hugo in November. He was fi rst on the scene and assisted two elderly people out of the second story of the home to safety. Letters of Appreciation were given to Jail Program Coordinator Cindy Doty, Correctional Officer Denise

dle School music; and Melissa Wickert, North Campus social studies. Kirkham and Wickert were also fi nalists in 2017 and both third-time finalists. Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak spoke at the event and said he was inspired to go into education by great teachers, but one teacher and coach stood out: Mr. Kotts. “Without Mr. Kotts, I would likely not be standing here in this role,” he noted. Nick Marty was the 2017 Teacher of the Year. During his remarks as he passed on the title, he said the most rewarding part of being teacher of the year was the connections he was able to make in the district and community through having the title. About 150 nominations were made for 2018. Nominations can be made by co-workers,
Eichten, Probation Officer Patty Gaffney, and Lisa Laverdiere from the organization Home for Life for the County Jail pet therapy project. The four worked together to provide pet therapy to both jail inmates and staff through a pet visiting program. Cmdr. Cheri Dexter was presented with the Meritorious Service Award for her work with the Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard. The Washington County Sheriff’s Honor Guard is hand selected and service in that capacity is considered an honor. Members attend all in-the-line-of-duty officer funerals in the state. The Honor Guard also performs funeral details for those who have retired from duty at the Sheriff’s Office and participates in the county and state Law Enforcement Memorial Day services. Dexter helps maintain a well-regulated Honor Guard in the Sheriff’s Office and works to keep everyone well informed of the events the Honor Guard attends. She has attended 56 events in the course of her career and is well respected by the officers with whom she works. From press release

Historic year
W
hat a year! I could be referring to some of the historic precedents being set so far in 2018, but I think you would be hardpressed to find a year that more vividly illustrates the soaring highs and extreme depths of human existence than 1968. I recently attended the “1968” exhibit currently on display at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul. The immersive and interactive exhibit is filled with multimedia displays that lead the viewer along a month by month timeline through the tumultuous year. At the start of the installation, a living room display with furniture from the era and colorful, artwork starkly contrasts Angle of kitschy with an early color television showing somber reports about the war View in Vietnam. A display featuring a Paul Dols flag draped coffin and portion of a Huey helicopter (that local pilot and Vietnam War veteran Daryl LeMire helped restore) Vi t W further elaborate on the conflict that was becoming an increasingly divisive issue. A section dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. plays audio and video clips illustrating his intelligence, dedication (and also his sense of humor) along with a portion of the final speech he gave in Memphis the night before he was assassinated — with all of its fiery passion and fevered emotion. I recently heard a radio interview featuring author Cornel West, who voiced the opinion that the way Martin Luther King Jr. is currently being remembered misses the importance of how truly radical his message and efforts were at the time. Minnesota politicians Hubert Humphrey (Vice President under Lyndon Johnson) and Senator Eugene McCarthy were both influential participants in the presidential election of 1968. Democratic nominee Humphrey ended up ultimately losing the election to Richard Nixon by a slim margin. With its use of audio and visual presentations and a variety of imagery, the exhibit conveys the high emotions of the time that are often missing in more conventional historic retellings. Following the June assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, a funeral train traveled from New York to Arlington National Cemetery. In a multimedia display set up to recreate the window of a passenger train, a series of images showing ordinary people lining the tracks to pay their last respects creates, perhaps unintentionally, one of the most visceral and compelling views back into time I’ve ever seen. The colorful and vibrant images look like they could have been taken last year but show, without any sense of self-consciousness, the cars, fashions and faces of the people — representing a remarkable cross section of society — expressing their collective sorrow during a dark time. An installation of an actual Apollo space capsule provides an example that the year did end on a hopeful note. The Apollo 8 trip to the moon in December allowed humans for the first time to see the Earth in its entirety from space. The famous Earthrise photo taken by the Apollo 8 astronauts, arguably one of the most influential images in history, is said to have inspired Earth Day. A couple of local anniversaries continue some of the hopeful legacies planted in 1968. For the last 50 years, The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, championed by Walter Mondale and Gaylord Nelson, has helped protect the St. Croix River (and others around the country) from urban development. Also, amidst all of the national turmoil back in 1968, a group of dedicated local artists created the foundation for what is now the White Bear Center for the Arts. In these chaotic and uncertain times, can the fact that some visionary and determined groups and individuals didn’t give up back in 1968 give us some hope for the future?

t’s the final four – the last four weeks of the legislative session. What will be the final shape of legislation passed? School safety has been an all-consuming topic following the tragedy in Parkland, Florida. In Minnesota, we’ve been part of the intense national conversation on keeping students safe. Some of the discussion has focused on the Legislator divisive issue of firearms. MinneLingo sota actually has tighter laws than Linda Runbeck most states. Focusing on a comprehensive approach to school safety, we will enact solutions that are not only workable and necessary but have a realistic chance to be signed into law. The initiatives that my colleagues in the House and I are proposing enhance school security, address student mental health and provide school districts with needed resources and the flexibility to use those resources. Because every school district is different, flexibility is important to allow schools the latitude to bring in counselors or other mental health support personnel as they see fit. In total, our proposal aims to authorize nearly $50 million on critically needed improvements, $25 million of which will come from the general fund with anoth-
er $25 million in bonding dollars for facility security upgrades. For “equity” districts, the bill proposes that new dollars be fully equalized. Another proposal on the table affects water usage in the 10 cities with wells within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake (Lino Lakes and Hugo are both impacted). It’s a bill that I and other local legislators believe is needed to “pause” the implementation of court orders that are confusing, overreaching and unvetted. The orders, issued in late January resulted from a lawsuit over lake levels in White Bear Lake, would ban residential watering of lawns and gardens in the 10 cities until lake levels reach 924 feet. In only 17 of the last 58 years would watering have been allowed had the ban existed then. The orders also cap water usage at 75 gallons per-capita per day, require a $650 million conversion to surface water instead of groundwater, limit new water permitting and more. The residential limit of 75 gallons per-capita per day would have unintended consequences, i.e., increased water consumption, not less. The reason, as city administrators point out, is that by default, more high-density housing and less single-family housing would be built. As advocates for our residents and cities, our duty as legislators in this instance is to make certain that a judge or court (a jury was even present) cannot usurp the legislative and executive branches
and create law on their own that is overreaching, confusing, costly, and unvetted. Another big issue for the state is replacing the 30-year old computer system for drivers licenses and auto titling, which has been in the works for 8-9 years at the Department of Public Safety. Nine months after the new system (MNLARS) debuted, it’s still causing headaches for thousands of drivers, automobile purchasers and dealers trying to renew licenses, order special license plates or obtain new car titling at deputy registrar offices and DMV offices across the state. The bill that was passed by the legislature and signed into law by Governor Dayton provides $10 million in emergency funding to get the project back on track. In addition, the House bill insisted on important oversight and transparency measures to make sure tax dollars are being used efficiently. Government has to get this one right. Notable failures and $100 million for a system that doesn’t work could have and should have been anticipated and prevented. It is my goal to make sure your voice is heard. Please do not hesitate to reach out on any matter related to state government. My email is rep.linda.runbeck@ house.mn, and my phone is 651296-2907. Rep. Linda Runbeck represents District 38A in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Despite neighborly opposition, dog beach stays BY DEBRA NEUTKENS MANAGING EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The swimming beach for canines at Matoska Park survived a city-imposed probationary period. It will remain an area amenity. Thirteen months after new rules were imposed on users of the waterfront park, City Council revisited issues of compliance, or lack thereof, and took comments, pro and con from residents only, at its April 10 meeting. After all was said and done, the vote was 3-2 to keep it open. Significant to the motion was removal of the word “temporary.” The park is no longer on probation, although council did direct staff to look for alternative sites with water access. Nearby resident Brian Bonin suggested fencing off part of Optimist Beach. “It’s a space issue at Matoska,” he told council, “that has changed over time with more people using it.” He pitched the idea of giving 70 feet of city beach to the dogs since fewer people live near Optimist and “it’s not a backwater lake.” The Eighth Street homeowner, who sat on the Parks Commission when the dog park was approved in 2007, complimented volunteers who clean up the dog beach, but doesn’t feel its many users can be trusted to follow the rules. “We didn’t see enough improvement over the summer,” said Bonin, who no longer endorses the park. Bonin’s wife Rachel asked council who she should

call when a dog appears on her patio. “There is also a defecation issue,” she added. “Water quality needs to be checked often (for bacteria).” Councilman Dan Jones, who made the motion to keep it open, called the dog beach a unique amenity that was important to city residents. The councilman compared enforcement of the leash ordinance to kids riding their bikes on the sidewalk. “That is illegal, too. Are we going to ticket them?”
COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Still, Jones feels compromise is warranted and asked for improved signage and increased enforcement. Councilmen Kevin Edberg and Bill Walsh wanted the beach closed, following a recommendation by the Parks Advisory Commission. “We need a dog park in the city; this isn’t the right site,” Edberg said. Walsh agreed, saying the beach was a “victim of its own success.” At its Feb. 28, 2017 meeting, the City Council agreed to maintain the area for another year and established new rules to its use. Included was a requirement that all dogs remain on leash no more than 30 feet in length A slideshow of dogs doing their business along the shoreline, swimming outside the designated area and off leash, was playing during the council discussion. Homeowner Heidi Hughes, a Lake Avenue resident who lives across from the park, said most of the photos were hers. “Any time of day, dogs were off leash,” she said. “Dogs, kids and boats are not a good mix. It should be either for dogs or for people.” Mayor Jo Emerson liked the idea of looking for another spot. “Those who don’t believe rules apply to them have ruined it,” she said. All members agreed stronger enforcement is needed. City Manager Ellen Richter said she will work with public safety to address questions like who to call about loose dogs and possibly develop a plan for community service officers to patrol the beach for rule breakers.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Washington County Historical Society recently received a large box of photos from the Barnes County Historical Society in North Dakota, many of which have not been identified. Community members are invited to an open house to help identify people and places in these images from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at Hardwood Creek Library. Among the identified photos some were from the Simmons and the O.W. Johnson families. One photo of the early Forest Lake Marsh Hotel could mean there are other photos from the Marsh family. The collection includes photos from businesses and private homes, as well as landscapes, gardens and even some from family trips around Minnesota and the rest of the country. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own unknown photos and family histories, which could help the historical society identify lost faces from the history. For more information about the Washington County Historical Society and its programs, visit www.wchsmn.org or call 651-439-5956.

Weston Estates is located on the south side of 165th Street North and east of Hwy. 61.
HUGO — The City Council conducted the following business at its April 16 meeting: • Approved preliminary plat and fi nal plat for Weston Estates. Mike Cressman, on behalf of his mother Janice Cressman, 6085 165th St. North, applied for a preliminary plan and final plat to be known as Weston Estates. Cressman owns the strip of land between the existing parcels that appears to have been created at one time for a future road, but the property was tax forfeited in 1987. The applicant is not proposing development of any property, but plans to modify the property lines and combine parcels within the area to reduce non-conformities and the number of total parcels. Ten existing parcels will become four, zoned future urban service, and ranging in size from a half acre to 4 acres. Three of the 10 parcels have single family homes on them; seven are vacant. According to staff, the owner is selling the properties. A new buyer and neighbors have contracts to purchase some of the land, which would result in many property line adjustments, lot combinations and extensive legal descriptions if not re-platted. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat and final plat. • Approved agreement with Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS). The city of Hugo provides $6,000 to the nonprofit social service agency whose mission is to meet unmet developmental needs of at-risk youth and families residing in the northern suburbs
of Ramsey County, including the ISD 624 school district. Jerry Hromatka, NYFS president and CEO, gave a short presentation to council, noting that they serve a primary population between the ages of 5 to 21 years old on a $3.3 million budget. NYFS serves 4,000 people throughout the year at two sites; Shoreview and White Bear Lake. “When we started 41 years ago, we served 100 people,” Hromatka said. They work in areas of mental health, diversion services for fi rst-time offenders and the senior chore program. “Senior chore is an early employment program for 14 and 15 year olds connecting with seniors,” he explained. For more on the agency, visit www.nyfs.org. • Approved agreement with Lakes Center for Youth and Families. The city agreed to a $6,000 payment to the Forest Lake center. Hugo residents between the ages of 5 and 18 are eligible for services provided under the agreement. • Approved special event permit for Color Fun Run on May 12 at Oneka Elementary School. • Approved hiring of Steve Duff as seasonal public works engineering technician. • Approved purchase of a combination sewer cleaning truck for about $230,000. City staff obtained a Rice Creek Watershed District grant in the amount of $25,000 to use toward purchase. • Received plans and specs and authorized advertisement for bids for Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue road project.

Free preschool part of district’s future goals BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The district has nailed down a new mission and goals for the future, including free preschool for all district families. A 30-member strategic planning team helped develop the district’s new beliefs, mission, objectives and strategies, said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak at a School Board meeting last month. The team began meeting in September. This is the district’s new mission statement, approved unanimously by the school board: “The mission of the White Bear Lake Area School District, the community at the forefront of educational excellence, honoring our legacy and courageously building the future, is to ensure each student realizes their unique talents and abilities, and makes meaningful contributions with local and global impact through a vital system distinguished by: students who design and create their own future; diversity of people and ideas; safe, nurturing and inspiring environments; exceptional staff and families committed to student success; and abundant and engaged community partners.” The mission is related to beliefs, objectives and strategies identified by the team. These are the beliefs the district plans to base its operations on in the future: “Each person has innate value. Service nurtures both community and self. Everyone has the power to design their own future. Respect for diversity is strength. Integrity is fundamental to relationships. Each person has unrealized potential. Communities with shared goals have unlimited potential. We are stewards of the earth. Learning enriches one’s quality of life. Everyone has a right to a safe and respectful environment. Challenge leads to innovation and growth. All people deserve unconditional love.” The district’s future objectives are that 100 percent of students feel valued, accomplish their
personalized learning plan, are prepared for and implement their design for the future, graduate, creatively adapt to an ever-changing world and meaningfully contribute to the community. Strategies: How the mission will be accomplished The strategic planning team also identified eight strategies with specific action plans identified under each one. In October, over 200 action team members, both from the community and district staff, were recruited to help with the district’s strategic plan. They began meeting in November. The fi rst strategy is that the district will ensure each student is the primary agent in their learning. Student representative Ashley Rensted, a senior at South Campus, said this is the strategy she is most excited about. “It is really what is going to push us into the future and help us to create a better learning institution within White Bear Lake Area Schools,” she noted. “It’s going to give students the power to choose their own education and to make a personalized learning plan that is for them and allows them to succeed.” “It’s a bold statement,” added Kazmierczak. Many of the action plans involve the use of or reallocation of existing resources. About $20,000 to $40,000 is needed for the fi rst strategy. Free preschool for all 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds in the district, including transportation, is an action plan under the second strategy which provides for expanding access to a broad range of opportunities for all students. It is expected that implementation of free preschool would cost $2 million annually, plus costs for creating the facilities. Other hopes for the future include comprehensive arts and science programming at all elementary schools. The third strategy is to foster community engagement and partnerships. The fourth is to build organizational capacity, which would require
the addition of an estimated $400,000 to professional development. The fi fth strategy is to embrace all cultures with humility and respect, which would require an estimated $25,000-$50,000 of additional curriculum and resources on diverse perspectives. The district also hopes to start a community resource center, perhaps in an existing space. It also has a goal that district employees would reflect the diversity of its student population. The sixth strategy is to ensure learning environments enhance students’ educational experience. The district is considering a potential bond request to fund facilities and learning environments that are flexible, collaborative, inspiring and forward-thinking. The decision to request a bond from taxpayers and the amount it may be is still to be determined. The seventh strategy is to engage families as partners in the education of their children. The district hopes to increase family outreach and professional development in this area. It also plans to hold cultural family social events. The eighth strategy is to ensure the social and emotional growth of students through socialemotional learning assessments, professional development, and outreach; a designated space in each building where students can access support services; a districtwide wellness center; and nutrition that supports social-emotional learning. The strategic planning team will continue working on implementation, costs and potential funding sources for the new goals. The plan is that the goals will be implemented in three phases, from one to two years, to three to four years and five years or more, said Marisa Vette, district director of communications. Free preschool for all district families is in the phase three group. The School Board unanimously approved the strategic plan.

Three days shoveling snow leads to one much-needed tennis match BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
After three days of shoveling to clear four of their eight courts, the Centennial Cougars hosted a tennis match Friday and beat Osseo 5-2. About 50 players, coaches and parents descended upon the courts for 1 1/2 to two hours each day with shovels, snow blowers, wheelbarrows and carts, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, said coach Dan Haertl. “We worked extremely hard clearing off the four courts,” reports Haertl. “Our plan was to get four courts ready so we could play on Friday. It worked. The kids needed that.” The match longer than usual with action in two shifts because half the
courts were left unplayable. The April record of 25 inches of snow in Minnesota has limited Centennial to five practices. Three dual meets (two of them conference) and a Burnsville tournament have been called off. They did get one previous match in, between snowstorms, beating Park Center 5-2 on April 12 on the Pirates’ courts. “We hope to get all our (upcoming) matches in .... somehow,” Haertl said. Winning against Osseo were Jake Parsons at 1-singles, Justin Bailey at 3-singles and all three doubles teams: Tristan Johnson/Travis Allen, Nate Zola/Connor Johnson and Parry Paraschou/Cole Leonard, at 1-2-3, respectively. The lineup also had Jake Tufte at 2-singles and Connor Maloney at 4-singles.

Mounds View scored 104, the Bears 101, Stillwater 91, Forest Lake 86, Roseville 66, East Ridge 31 and Cretin-Derham Hall 16. Points were tallied by counting each team’s top four in the individual events. The 1600 was the Bears best event with Jace Bartz, Max Nelson and Isaac Marumaya placing 3-4-5 and Logan Tanttu eighth. Fidel Deleon-Paramo won long jump with 20-1 1/2. Mike Rohlinger took second in the 800 and fi fth in the 400. Placing third were Ben Vanderbosch in the 800, Garritt Christenson in 300 hurdles and Andrew Kohnen in shot put. Connor Thiesfeld was fourth in discus.
Bear tennis 1-1 before snowstorm
Before the three-day snowstorm of April 14-16, the White Bear Lake boys tennis team was able to play two matches.

Another positive aspect of horse shows and riding is the family atmosphere. “There are many families who all ride and participate together,” Peterson said. “I have particularly enjoyed watching young kids grow into incredible adults.” Many mothers enjoy attending the show with their children on Mother’s Day morning each year as a tradition. Another bonus of starting riding young? Peterson will tell you, “These kids generally do well in school. They’d rather be
at the barn working with horses than at the mall or playing video games. Horses raise great kids!” Peterson doesn’t see giving up her role in the local horse world anytime soon. “The horse world is a community,” Peterson noted. “The common bond is the love of horse, the challenge we all face competing, and the celebration with your friends when you’ve had a great ride. Win or lose, your friends are there to support you.” Find more information about F.A.S.H., including this year’s times and events, at FASHHorseShow.com and Facebook. com/FASHHorseShow.

Peterson added, “they also have the opportunity to walk through the horse barn and get up close and personal to a horse and meet trainers and exhibitors.” She tells newbies not to be shy about asking questions. “Trainers and exhibitors love to talk about their horses and what they do, and they always encourage anyone who has interest. You’ll have a great number of knowledgeable people to speak with and get your questions answered. We can even help you get started by visiting a local training barn or taking a lesson.” For the love of horses Peterson started riding and showing horses later in life, though she always loved horses. “Riding was kind of a happy accident,” she remembered. “My friend asked if I wanted to go out to see her take a lesson at her show barn, and I soon started taking lessons. I fell in love with the horse, riding, showing, and the people. It just happened to be at a barn that specialized in the American Saddlebred.” Peterson hasn’t looked back and is now practi-

It is an incredible feeling to become one with an animal that is so large and powerful.” Peterson also treasures the relationships she has developed through managing this show and participating in other local shows. “My favorite part of F.A.S.H. is working with all the people. Equestrians are competing at all ages, from their 80s to youth starting as young as 5 or 6. We even have a leadline class for those parents that just can’t wait to get their babies

Hello, my name is Gene, and I’m a baseball cardaholic
E
ver since I started opening packs of statistic-filled pieces of baseball cardboard, I’ve never been able to completely step away from the hobby. It all started, as I remember, when I was 11. My parents ran the outdoor movie theater in Houlton, Wisconsin, just across the St. Croix River from downtown Stillwater. As a youngster, I was recruited to pick up trash people had left from the previous night’s showing. Money I earned for my work would soon be converted to multiple packs of Topps baseball cards. Topps was the sole baseball card manufacturer at the time. My dad would drive me to Reed’s Drug Store on Stillwater’s Main Street and I’d hurry to the aisle where I knew I could find the most recent arrivals of the sealed packs. I’d randomly grab between 10 and 12 packs of cards, pay for them at the register and urge my dad to hurry home so I could release the cards, and the stale piece of brittle pink bubble gum, from their wrapper. Of course, I was hoping to find nothing but cards featuring players on my favorite team, the Minnesota Twins. (Yes, the Twins. Milwaukee, as far as I was concerned, might well have been on another planet.) Imagine my excitement when I unveiled a Rod Carew card, or one belonging to Bert Blyleven. Every now and then, I’d even open a pack with a Harmon Killebrew card. Sometimes I’d even get duplicates. These trips to purchase cards would coincide with every payday, and over the summer I’d PAGE DESIGN BY GAOKANGZOUA YANG

It was at that show I opened a pack and got a card featuring William Shakespeare. So, it’s true, even the Bard has a card! The most recent change to the hobby has been the introduction of live televised box or case breaks. For a small fee, a person can purchase their preferred team and packs are opened live before their eyes. For some of these card breaks, teams are randomly assigned before the packs are opened. It’s the equivalent of a baseball card lottery. Cards corresponding to the team purchased are then sent to the buyer through the mail. Many Minnesotans have been featured on baseball cards over the years, including Hall of Famers Paul Molitor, Dave Winfield and 2018 inductee Jack Morris. Glen Perkins of Stillwater, who starred as a relief pitcher for the Twins, has multiple cards available. The Twins themselves plan on participating in National Baseball Card Day on Aug. 1 by distributing packs to fans entering ticket gates. The St. Paul Saints have scheduled Aug. 5 as their team card set day, with the first 1,500 fans getting the annual set. I still randomly buy a pack or two, sometimes even a box, when I’m at my local Target or Walmart. After all, how else am I going to get my new Byron Buxton or Miguel Sano card?
