‘Becoming comfortable with imperfect results’ BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
First time in the spotlight
WHITE BEAR LAKE — It might not be a good idea to take every advanced placement class. High-achieving students are those youth that parents and teachers worry may burn out before they even get to college, said Northeast Youth and Family Services therapist Chris Vendel at a mental well-being event held by White Bear Lake Schools March 28. Vendel works with secondary students. Although adults often don’t want to try to hold these students back, they can help students learn self-management and self-care when they face stress. “Good coaching and proactive teaching may help kids make those tough decisions,” Vendel said. It is important to teach high-achieving students self-awareness, to learn how to listen to their body and their mind. High-achieving

students can learn to make choices by identifying their true interests and things they are both good at and love to do. Students can also learn to identify what they must do versus what they can do. “High performers need to actually assess what they know before a test to determine what to study and when to pack it up for the night,” Vendel said. Students need to learn how to become “comfortable with imperfect results,” he added. Perfectionism and procrastination are two hallmarks of high-achieving students, who tend to have blackand-white thinking. Students often don’t want to fi nish something unless it can be perfect. That type of mental fi lter can create unnecessary stress, Vendel noted, along with jumping to conclusions, mind reading, fortune telling and only paying attention to certain types of evidence. Students also create unnecessary stress when

Longtime Hugo mail carrier retires BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — April 28 marked the last day 500 residents along a 64-mile route saw a friendly, familiar face delivering their mail and packages. Hugo resident John Monaghan retired from the Hugo Post Office after 14 years. His co-workers threw him a party for his years of service, both to the post office and in the military, and presented him with an artist easel with an engraved plaque. At the age of 18, Monaghan joined the Army in 1971. He served on the “Kore-
10-2E0 FRE
an Fence” between North and South Korea for 13 months before being sent back to the U.S to Fort Bliss in Texas. Monaghan, who grew up in White Bear Lake, started with the post office in 2004 as a part-time rural carrier assistant. After an 18-year career as a grocery warehouseman for Gateway Foods, he found himself in a bind at the age of 52 after the company folded. “We all had to leave and start over in life,” he recalled. “I had to sell the house I lived in in White Bear Lake, bought a mobile home in Hugo and started all over.”

He saw a “we are hiring sign” at the post office and decided to apply. He then worked two part-time jobs, one at the post office and the other as a bartender at The Little Bar (now known as Cabin 61.) In 2013, Monaghan became employed full time at the post office. Since he started, he has had three routes. His current route is a long one. “It is 64 miles a day, 500 customers. It starts in Hugo on Goodview (Avenue) and I go all way up to Square Lake,” he SEE MONAGHAN, PAGE 16

Cooking up a Mother’s Day treat BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Cooking together at home is a great way to spend time as a family, especially when it’s a simple, easy-to-follow recipe that everyone will enjoy. This Mother’s Day, why not whip up this crowd-pleasing granola recipe for mom or with mom? It’s delicious as is, or you can substitute ingredients to your heart’s content. Once cooked, sprinkle this crunchy, sweet and heart-healthy goodness on yogurt and vanilla ice cream, or eat it plain. Placing the cereal in decorative glass containers makes fantastic personalized gifts for Mother’s Day or for an end-of-the-year teacher gift. Ingredients: • 3 cups rolled oats • 1 cup dry or flaked coconut • 1 cup nuts (sliced almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.) • 1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup • 1/2 cup olive oil • 1/2 cup light brown sugar • 1 tsp. salt • 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Baking instructions: • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. • If you have a trusty JULIA ARNOLD | SUBMITTED sidekick on hand, have Pictured-a fresh batch of crunchy maple granola. It’s them start by mixing perfect as a topping or to eat plain. together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. • Next, stir in the maple syrup and olive oil until all the dry ingredients are coated. • Spread the mixture onto a 9X13 baking sheet. Spraying Pam on it fi rst will help prevent any sticking. • Bake for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so to help the mixture cook evenly. • This granola makes your whole house smell good, and there’s plenty to share or freeze for later. Happy Mother’s Day!

they use emotional reasoning to conclude that if they feel embarrassed, they are an idiot; or if they feel angry, they are an angry person. However, feelings are just feelings. Bad behavior comes as the result of a wrong response to emotions. “We feel our emotions, but they are not who we are,” Vendel said. Emotions, including stress and worry, can be handled by realizing they come and go. Students shouldn’t think of themselves as stressedout youth but rather as youth experiencing stress. While students can learn to eliminate unnecessary stress by changing mindsets, not all stress can or should be eliminated. “Stress is useful to respond to your environment,” Vendel explained. Students can use stress in their favor to learn how to make choices. External sources of stress, such as standardized tests, homework deadlines, extracurricular activities, family expectations and bullying or making comparisons on social media can create stress. Adults can help students who are stressed by letting them know it will be
okay, helping them learn to take deep breaths, empathizing and helping to evaluate possible solutions. Stress can be helpful if it is thought of as a way the body prepares people to get ready for challenges. A certain amount of worrying is normal. Students can prevent stress from turning into anxiety by facing fears and avoiding avoidance. The difference between stress and anxiety is that stress is a response to circumstances that require physical, mental or emotional adjustments; anxiety is often related to things that may not be real and is often focused on the past or future, Vendel said. The presentation by Vendel was the third in the White Bear Lake Area Schools’ new monthly mental well-being series. The series launched in January and will continue through the spring. The next topic is how the brain responds to stress, distress and trauma, and will be presented by Amanda Weinkauf, district social worker at Matoska and Lakeaires elementary schools. It will be held at 7 p.m. April 25 in the North Campus auditorium, 5045 Division Ave.

Moms are remarkable
OTHER’S DAY IS May 13 and they deserve a special salute. They are remarkable people who hold families together, teach children morals and work hard to keep families healthy. Besides that, they are key support people to their husbands and others. Many are in the workforce and have to manage time and responsibilities. They are highly efficient with their duties and rarely seem to tire or complain. I am thankful for my mom and even my mothers-in-law.

THE WALLEYE FISHING opener on May 12 is always an exciting time for Minnesota anglers and others who join our state. This year there will be some ice on the shore so you will have it to pack your fish and beer. I remember a number of years fishing on Lake Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake when we have had ice on the shore. Sometimes it was so cold we had to wear snowmobile suits. Now my preference when I take the boys walleye fishing is to go later in the year. IF YOU ARE looking for a job, there are hundreds of opportunities. The big issue for our country and Minnesota is the shortage of qualified labor. You can hardly fi nd a restaurant today where there isn’t a sign posted that they are now hiring. In our small newspaper group we have a number of job openings in sales, pressmen, news writing, graphic design, etc. In one location they were interviewing for a beginning position for web offset press work and thought they had a good candidate. When the potential employee heard the starting time, the response was, “I don’t get up that early.” I think the starting time was around 6 or 7 a.m. Some think it is the millennial culture. On the other hand, we have some wonderful millennial employees who are very passionate and dedicated to their work. Somehow I think entitlement has crept into our society far more than I would like. THE FOUR DISTINCT seasons we have in Minnesota, or for that matter the northern tier of our country, seem to prompt extraordinary amounts of energy, especially at spring time. People are anxious to be outdoors and especially this year with the late spring. I noticed the other day there were two fishing boats on White Bear Lake before the ice had even gone out. But spring prompts a lot of cleanup. Our city workers are cleaning streets, lawns are being raked, gutters cleaned and even attempts at cleaning the garage, which will prompt some garage sales. It seems to me that used furniture is very reasonable to buy and in many cases in excellent condition. Antiques seem to be losing value as well. Part of it is generational. Collectors like things they grew up with and that has taken us from toy trains to model airplanes to the electronic world and that is quickly obsolete. THE RECENTLY OPENED Hanifl Performing Arts Center in White Bear Lake is a wonderful addition to the community. Lakeshore Players, with 65 years of history in the community, will enjoy performing at this beautiful, attractive and acoustically designed theater. Kathy and I enjoyed our pre-blizzard evening on April 13. This raises and draws attention to the value of arts in our community. If you haven’t yet made a contribution to this facility, they still have a need to raise approximately $600,000. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.
P
ast: Before the French-Canadian settlers established the town of Centerville in the mid-1800s, Dakota Indians lived here in the 1600s and 1700s. In 1854, settlers Peltier, LaValle and LaMotte laid out and platted the town. They chose the name Centerville because of its central location from St. Paul, Stillwater and Anoka. The city was officially established Aug. 11, 1857, Movers and on when Minnesota was still a terriShakers tory. Many of the Jeff Paar founding members of Centerville still have relatives living in the city. Present: The past 15 years, the council and staff have been working on infrastructure improvements. A new water tower was constructed in 2005 to meet the growing needs of the residents. A pavement management plan was put in place in 2003 to fully reconstruct older roads, add curbing and maintain newer roads. Many new trails have been added to provide residents a safe way to access city parks as well as provide access to the County trail system. The city provides outstanding public safety; we partner with Circle Pines and Lexington for police protection through Cen-
tennial Lakes Police Department, and Circle Pines for fire protection through Centennial Fire District. Partnering provides the best service for the taxpayer’s dollar. An Economic Development Authority (EDA) was recently put in place to help grow our commercial business, as well as meet the needs of our current businesses. Centerville is fortunate to have a very active Park and Recreation Committee and Lions Club, who provide many activities for residents; Music in the Park, Bald Eagle Waterski Club Shows, ice fishing contests and the Fete des Lacs summer celebration. Fete des Lacs continues to grow, and this year’s festival will be filled with many new activities. Currently there is a lot of building and construction in the city. Waterworks was demolished last fall and a concept plan has been presented for approximately 15-18 high end, detached townhomes. Peltier Estates townhome development is expected to break ground, just north on 20th Ave. and Main St., which consists of approximately 24 high end, detached townhomes. Ruffridge-Johnson is beginning construction of their new 34,000 square foot facility on our DEED/ shovel ready site. The city also welcomed many new businesses recently, including Rumble Motorsports, Ready Landscaping and Wholesome Health. The city recently joined Twitter and Facebook to get information
to our residents and surrounding communities more efficiently. The city is fiscally sound, maintains clean audits and has an AA bond rating, which allows us to bond for larger projects with favorable interest rates. Future: The City Council, staff and committees are putting the finishing touches on our 2040 Comprehensive Plan to help shape the city into the next decade. Centerville needs to continue to grow our tax base with commercial development. Our city administrator, staff and commercial realtor have been very active marketing and networking Centerville to businesses looking to come to the city. The city is fortunate to have a very active Planning and Zoning Committee to help with new residential and commercial development. Parks and trails need continued upgrades and repairs, as well as new parks and trails added. I would like to see the city host a “Taste of Centerville” where the local restaurants/businesses could showcase their foods, beverages and wares.

Invest in Minnesota’s families and economy
A
ffordable child care is a resource that helps to ensure family economic stability and improved child well-being, as well as keep the engine of our economy running now and in the future. It should be a priority for Gov. Dayton and lawmakers to leverage federal and state funds to improve the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) by: (1) making a long-overdue increase to the child care provider reimbursement rates; and (2) making the program work better for families, including reducing barriers to access for families experiencing homelessness, making it easier for families moving off of the Minnesota Family Investment Program (welfare) to keep their CCAP and ensuring that families already enrolled in CCAP can maintain their access even if they move to a different county. Solid Ground provides housing and services to families experiencing homelessness, and our families would
benefit greatly from the improvements to CCAP described above. Many of our families have difficulty accessing affordable childcare or fi nding providers who will accept CCAP; infant Movers and care is particularly difficult to fi nd. Shakers Just recently, a Solid Trisha Cummins Ground participant was offered a well-paying position but Kauffman ended up losing the job because she could not fi nd affordable childcare. She is still out of work. Ever since drastic cuts to CCAP in 2003 and 2005, the state has not provided sufficient investment to make up for that lost funding or meet the need for working families. Child care providers who do accept CCAP are reimbursed at a rate based on 2011
“With a robust economy, expanding workforce and budget surplus, now is the time to invest both federal and state dollars in child care to support Minnesota’s workers, businesses and, most importantly, our future workforce: our children.” average child care costs. (Would you work for wages that lag the market by 7 years?) The low reimbursement rate reduces the number of providers who will accept CCAP and results in increased costs to families. Minnesota is set to receive additional CCAP funding from the federal government, and we should also commit increased state funding for CCAP. Federal funds won’t cover the full cost of all of the changes needed to the program, let alone provide enough to allow access for the thousands of eligible families who currently cannot be served by CCAP due to inadequate funding.
With a robust economy, expanding workforce and budget surplus, now is the time to invest both federal and state dollars in child care to support Minnesota’s workers, businesses and, most importantly, our future workforce: our children. I urge everyone to contact their legislator and the Governor to request increased state investment in CCAP. Our children and our economy depend on it.

SCHOOL BRIEF Identification of autism increases
The Centers for Disease Control’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network reported last month that one in 59 U.S. children has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. This reflects a 13.2 percent increase over the previous report of a 1 in 68 prevalence rate. Boys also are 4.6 times more likely to be identified with ASD than girls. This was the fi rst year ADDM included Minnesota in its study.
In Minnesota, the prevalence rate for autism is one in 42, the second-highest rate of the 11 data collection sites throughout the country. Minnesota data was collected from Hennepin and Ramsey counties only. The average age of autism diagnosis in Minnesota is 4 years, 9 months. “Though we are concerned about this increase, we are not surprised,” said Ellie Wilson, Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) executive director. “Along with an increase in diagnoses comes an increase
in the need for programs and services to support individuals with autism from birth through retirement and to provide education and training to our communities.” Some of the change in prevalence could be due to improved autism identification in minority populations, according to the study. Autism is still more likely to be identified in white children than in black or Hispanic children. For more information, visit www.ausm.org.
Members of the Hugo American Legion Auxiliary will distribute American Legion Memorial Poppies on Friday, May 18, and Saturday, May 19, at Festival Foods, 14775 Victor Hugo Blvd., Hugo. Since 1921, the American Legion Auxiliary has used the poppy flower to educate communities about the sacrifices that our veterans made, and that current military service members are still making. Millions of red crepe paper poppies are handmade by veterans as part of their rehabilitation. Making the flowers supplements physical and psychological therapy for hospitalized and disabled veterans. The poppies are distributed across the country in exchange for donations that go directly to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in their local communities. Donations received in Minnesota stay in Minnesota and are devoted entirely to rehabilitation and assistance for veterans and their families. The Memorial Poppy is never sold but is given in exchange for a donation.

Sheriff’s office rescues baby fox
WASHINGTON WASHINGTONCOUNTYSHERIFF COUNTY SHERIFF’S ’SOFFICE|SUBMITTED OFFICE | SUBMITTED
The baby fox was taken to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
Law enforcement duties come in all shapes and sizes, and for one deputy it came in the form of a tiny baby fox. The fox kit was found stuck in a window well at a local residence. Washington County Deputy John Stringer climbed into the window well to rescue the animal. There was no sign of the mother fox nearby, so a volunteer kept the baby fox overnight before bringing it to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville when it opened. If you find baby wild animals that appear to be injured or orphaned, there are a few steps to follow. Wait and watch to see if the mother animal returns; sometimes they leave their babies behind while they search for food and will eventually return. If it
appears that the animal truly is orphaned or hurt, call an expert. During business hours (9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday; 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday), call the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at 651-486-9453; employees may be able to instruct you what to do. If the center is closed and you need to keep the animal overnight, make sure it is protected from further harm, such as cold and predators. Place the animal in a safe environment such as a small cardboard box, and put it in a dark, quiet place. Do not feed the animal, but you can give it water. Call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator as soon as you are able. Jackie Bussjaeger

Bunions get ‘bad rap’ BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR
Oh, the abuse our feet endure. Painful bunions? There’s a new remedy for that. A patented procedure called lapiplasty is the future of bunion surgery. White Bear Lake podiatrist Christopher Phillips is one of the first in the metro to perform the technique. “The procedure is driven to create a technique that is controlled, reproducible and lends itself to confidence in the results,” Phillips said. “It aims at restoring anatomy back to normal by correcting the deformity at the joint. A patient can bear weight almost immediately following the surgery.” Previous methods for fixing the deformity, and there are many, require cutting the bone behind the bunion and sliding it back beneath the toe. Phillips describes it as a “nonanatomical correction that lends itself to recurrence.” A bunion is a bump on the side of the foot. It forms from what the podiatrist calls a “structural deviation” of the metatarsal joint and big toe. The fi rst patient to have the procedure under Phillips’ care, Jessi Foell, can’t rave enough about the results. Foell, 40, had been living with a painful bunion on her left foot for years. It kept her from doing things she enjoys, like playing tennis or using the treadmill. “I had always heard horror stories of traditional surgery where they break the bone and shave it,” Foell said. “A podiatrist referred me to Dr. Phillips, saying I was a good candidate for this new procedure. I am so happy with it I will probably get the other foot done within a year.” A walking boot was required post-surgery, but both the downtime and the pain were minimal, Foell said. “It has been the complete opposite of what everyone tells me of their personal stories. It has
been so worth it.” According to Phillips, people of any age can have bunions. “All sorts of structural deformities will predispose a foot to bunions,” he said. “High heels can be a component. Pointy shoes play a role, especially if worn for decades. Or it can be genetic.” Foell started experiencing pain in her 20s from the protruding bone. “Mine wasn’t disgusting on my foot. It just hindered me from doing things I like. My foot would throb for hours after a few minutes of exercise.” Within four days of surgery, she was getting around in just the boot. The St. Paul woman worked from home the following week but could have returned to work, she said. Lapiplasty isn’t for every bunion deformity. “But it’s a technology that standardizes the technique, which hasn’t been out there before,” noted Phillips. “It takes into consideration the rotational deformity portion of a bunion; it looks at it in three dimensions. Rotation is a big component. We attribute rotation to the rate of recurrence.” If a patient has a bunion deformity that has created signifi cant arthritis at the big toe joint, they would not be a good candidate. “Bunions get a bad rap. It doesn’t have to be a bad experience,” Phillips said. The surgery is performed in the hospital; patients are put into a deep sleep for the 90-minute procedure. According to the company that invented lapiplasty, Treace Medical Concepts Inc., 87 percent of bunions have a metatarsal frontal plane rotational deformity. If not corrected, patients are 12 times more likely to have a recurrence. Here is a link to the patient education video on youtube. https://www.treace.com/lapiplasty/

Christopher Phillips has owned the White Bear Foot and Ankle Clinic at 4653 White Bear Pkwy. since 2014. A White Bear native, he grew up on Bald Eagle Lake and graduated from Hill-Murray High School. He received his doctor of podiatry in Ohio, where he met his wife, Mary.

The post-op lapiplasty procedure to correct Foell’s bunion is shown at right. Her pre-op radiograph, left, shows the bunion deformity. Using instruments to align the metatarsal, the joint is corrected before a cut is made. Two stainless steel plates are affixed to the bone with screws for a rapid return to weight bearing.

Lino Lakes resident brings strength to cause BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
SUBMITTED
Jon Bruns, 49, of Lino Lakes, participated in the MDA Muscle Walk last year with his family and friends by his side.
him these days. Winters are challenging for him, as he can’t afford to fall on the ice or snow. “At fi rst I was somewhat uncomfortable in social situations, I didn’t want people to know there was something wrong with me. You kind of get over that,” he explained. “Sometimes I am not as comfortable in social gatherings where you have to stand a lot because I can get fatigued pretty easily and get really stiff. I have a lot of pain in my joints, especially my knees.” Despite his disease, he is still able to work as a fi nance manager at Medtronic in Mounds View, where he just completed his 25th year. One thing the disease has taught him is to learn to adapt. His previous home was a split entry, so when he and his wife of 15 years moved to Lino Lakes, they purchased a rambler-style home and installed a wheelchair ramp in the garage. Around four years ago, Bruns started to
become more involved with MDA. He started out attending seminars, fundraising and reading research reports. Since then, his participation has increased: he has participated in a few research studies, given talks on behalf of MDA and joined the Muscle Walk. Last year he raised $1,000; this year, he is up to $3,500. “As I have gotten to meet some of the people through MDA, I feel like it’s my obligation to try to do what I can to help,” Bruns said. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

LINO LAKES — A Lino Lakes resident joined 1,500 other participants in the 2018 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Muscle Walk of Twin Cities May 5. Jon Bruns, 49, is living with a neuromuscular disease called Beckers muscular dystrophy (BMD). He is participating in the walk for the second year. The annual walk is a meaningful way for families, friends, neighbors and local businesses to raise funds for and critical awareness of muscledebilitating diseases that severely weaken muscle strength and mobility. “There are kids and adults in our community living with muscular dystrophy and related diseases that take away everyday abilities like walking, hugging and even breathing,” said MDA Fundraising Coordinator Cassandra Rix. “When you support the MDA Muscle Walk of Twin Cities, you can help change that by helping us fund urgently needed research, treatments and support that will help these individuals live longer and grow stronger.” Bruns was diagnosed with BMD around the age of 23. “I started having troubles with things that I didn’t have trouble with before, like walking up the stairs and running. I knew something was wrong,” he said. BMD is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic, degenerative diseases primarily affecting voluntary muscles. BMD is a variant of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and affects the muscles of the hips, pelvic area, thighs and shoulders, as well as the heart. BMD is similar to DMD but allows the voluntary muscles to function better than they do in DMD. According to the MDA, until the 1980s little was known about the cause of muscular dystrophy. In 1986, MDA-supported researchers identified the gene that, when flawed — a problem known as a mutation — causes DMD and BMD. In 1987, the protein associated with this gene was identified and named dystrophin. BMD primarily affects boys and men who inherit the disease through their mothers. Bruns is not sure where he inherited BMD, as there is no family history of the disease. In fact, his mother took a DNA test and did not show up as a carrier. BMD progresses differently in everyone. “I have met some young kids through MDA who have what I have, and they are already riding in wheelchairs or scooters,” he said. “I see a lot of young kids who may not live past their 20s, so I look at that and it puts it into perspective. I feel like I am pretty lucky in a way.” Up until five years ago, Bruns got around just fi ne without a cane or wheelchair. He now has to use a cane and will use a scooter if he is going to be walking/standing for an extended period of time. Going up stairs, bending over to pick things up off the floor and heavy lifting are all pretty difficult for

MONAGHAN: Post office retiree will be missed
SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS SHANNONGRANHOLM|PRESSPUBLICATIONS
John Monaghan’s co-workers threw him a party for his years of service, both to the post office and in the military, and presented him with an artist easel with an engraved plaque.
said. “I love the country. Most of the people out there are farmers or own livestock and they are all good people.” The reason Monaghan has stuck with the job for so many years he said is because “I didn’t have to go very far to get to work.” Not to mention he really enjoyed the people, both his co-workers and the residents. “When you do it long enough, they feel like family. That’s how I treat them; I don’t treat anybody less than I would love to be treated myself,” he explained. Throughout his career, the job became much more difficult due to the abundance of online
shoppers. “Back then it wasn’t what it is now with all of the Amazon packages. The post office has changed in the past 14 years,” he said. “I’ve seen it go from me delivering 20 packages a day to 130 a day during the summer. During the winter you are up to 300 a day.” Monaghan fi nally decided to call it quits at the age of 65 because “he just couldn’t do it anymore.” “Customers don’t realize the stuff that we deliver,” he said, adding he routinely had to deliver large and heavy items including bed frames, TVs, monitors, parts of engines,
dog food and much more. “You name it, we delivered it.” Now in retirement, Monaghan said he is not making any plans. “I just want to relax and enjoy life. If I get bored, I will think of something to do,” he said. As for Monaghan’s co-workers, they will miss him. Kerry Westman, who has been with the post office since 2006, said, “He is just one of those people that almost everyone likes, in and out of the workplace. This guy will be sorely missed.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizen@presspubs.com.

It was as if April never really happened. May is off to a sizzling start, 9º warmer than normal. Warm air has flooded the area. Lake ice went out, setting records for some lakes by hours, as latest ever recorded. Tulips, daffodils, magnolias, azaleas and even dandelions are blooming. It seems trees are leafing out in record time. This past weekend was spectacular, starting with a vivid red cloud sunset on Friday. Saturday was a bit warm, 84º, but an evening thunderstorm was followed by a double rainbow and cooler temperatures, which made Sunday one of the most comfortable days of the year.
