GOOD NEIGHBOR DAYS: Photos of annual event PAGE 9
Good Neighbor of the Year helps those who need it BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — Those who live near Rick Kissner have likely had their driveway snowplowed, borrowed tools from him or even had things fi xed by him. Kissner, who has lived in Hugo for 31 years, was nominated by a neighbor (who will remain anonymous) for the 2018 Good Neighbor of the Year. Since 1995, when the tradition began, at least one person — not necessarily a Hugo resident — has been recognized for their importance to the Hugo community during Good Neighbor Days. Occasionally, it has been a couple, and in 2008 it was an entire family. Kissner is the 24th recipient. The person who nominated Kissner wrote, “Rick is a beacon in our neighborhood for help ... He has been a great role model as a very hardworking man who loves his family. He owns a small business, so finding the time to be able to be all things good is pivotal in the neighborhood and family.” The nomination letter also said, “If a neighbor has a problem with anything mechanical, the
fi rst thing folks around here say, is ‘Did you talk to Rick?’ As long as I have known him, I have never heard him judge or criticize anyone. He is a realist on helping people out at difficult times.” Hugo Lion and founder of the Good Neighbor tradition, Katie Riopel, said the fact that he owns his own business and still makes time to help his neighbors out really made Kissner stand out. “Snowplowing, that’s huge when someone takes the time to do that. Especially in rural Hugo, we have big driveways. That’s just what neighbors do, but there are a lot of people who don’t. They do their own and just go back inside,” she said. “There are so many times when people will move to the country to not be neighborly, but the old foundation, that’s what you do out here. If somebody needs help, you pitch in.” Kissner has been married to his wife Karen for 45 years; they have three children and seven grandchildren. For the past 14 years, Kissner has owned Hometown Tire & Service in West St. Paul. Despite SEE GOOD NEIGHBOR, PAGE 9

Hugo resident Rick Kissner was chosen as this year’s Good Neighbor of the Year. Kissner has lived in Hugo for 31 years and can often be spotted plowing driveways, borrowing tools and fixing things.
STILLWATER — Youth homelessness is a largely invisible problem in Washington County, but a group of panelists sat down in the basement of St. Paul Lutheran Church June 11 to examine the possible solutions for local youth based on a recent study conducted in the county. The study was conducted mainly by Joan Countryman, a member of the St. Croix Family Resource Center Board. The study was funded by a Rotary International grant, as well as contributions by five local Rotary clubs. Finding a definitive number of youth was extremely challenging, Countryman explained. “It’s like nailing Jell-O to a tree,” she said. “You just cannot count the kids because they’re couch hopping; one minute they have a phone, the next minute they don’t; they’re moving around; and they don’t necessarily want to be found.” However, all signs indicate that Washington County is comparable to national statistics: approximately 9 percent of young adults report SEE YOUTH HOMELESSNESS, PAGE 2 & 3
Father-son duo find Spike — again BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — For the second year in a row, a father and son have teamed up to fi nd the Golden Spike in Hugo’s annual treasure hunt that takes place during Good Neighbor Days. Searching for Spike has become a family tradition for Sean Noren and his son Mason, who will be a sixth-grader at Central Middle School in the fall. Last year, Sean and Mason were accompanied by

Sean’s wife Kerry and Mason’s siblings, Ava and Noah, when they found Spike in Lions Park. Shortly after the 5 p.m. clue (No. 9) came out on Saturday, June 9, Sean and Mason found Spike a couple of inches from the base of a single sumac bush on the west side of McCollar Park in Fable Hill. The Noren family has lived in Hugo since 2004 and has searched for the Golden Spike every year since 2009, the fourth year of the hunt. “I just like trying to solve

It is something fun that we can do, something out of the ordinary ... It is neat when you are out there with other people and get to experience it with them.” This year, Sean was convinced Spike was hidden in Hanifl Fields Athletic Park after Clues No. 5 and 6 came out referring to “groups of

YOUTH HOMELESSNESS: Seeking resources for Washington County FROM PAGE 1
homelessness in both rural and urban areas. “So we need to find some drop-in sites and some shelter availability because Washington County does not have any of these services for youth right now in our county,” Countryman said. Countryman’s vision for solutions to this problem include cooperative collaborations with the current infrastructure present in Washington County, which includes law enforcement, nonprofits, outreach workers, school liaisons and many others. She said she would like the community to seek funding for a crisis or text line, and for religious organizations to step up and offer drop-in sites where youth can spend daytime hours with access to food, electricity, laundry and other basic resources. A few churches in Stillwater have already expressed interest in fulfilling this role. People can assist by helping to establish and volunteer at drop-in sites, donating food and needed materials, training to facilitate support groups and even just spreading the word about youth homelessness. The sheriff’s office and other law enforcement agencies often become involved when family disagreements turn into domestic dispute or runaway calls, said panelist and Washington County Sheriff Dan Starry. “Those children are vulnerable right from the getgo,” Starry said. “We’re very aggressive at going out and trying to find these juveniles that are out there by themselves.” Attorney Tony Zdroik sat in for Washington County Attorney Pete Orput, who was not able to attend the panel. Zdroik elaborated on the sheriff’s point. “The biggest issue that we’re concerned about is that youth, when they’re homeless, become victims,” Zdroik said. “They become victims of simple things like theft, they become victims of horrible things
like sexual assault.” Panelist Crystal Gentry is the South Washington County Homeless School Liaison. “The perception of homelessness for a lot of people is out on the street or in a shelter, so if they’re staying with a friend or family member even for a short time, they may not see themselves as homeless,” Gentry said. Homeless youth often do not want to get other people in trouble for temporarily housing them, so they will keep quiet about their lack of a safe home to return to. “Their academics of course are going to suffer, because if your basic needs aren’t being met, then that’s what you’re focused on,” Gentry said. A few organizations in the Twin Cities are handling the issue of youth homelessness very well—Countryman said she would someday like to see Washington County resources be available on the Youth Service Network Minnesota or YSNMN app. Two Streetworks outreach workers, Alero Ogisi and Alex Minneart, were on the panel to share their plans as they begin part-time work in Washington County. Minneart will spend 10 hours a week, and Ogisi will spend 20 hours a week in the community, connecting with local services, providing education and offering resources to youth. Minnaert pointed out that not all youth are accepted at all shelters, and there is a distance barrier for youth in Washington County trying to get closer to resources in the Twin Cities. “Basically, the first part of our job is finding the youth, and the second part is supporting them,” Minneart said. “It’s hard when a youth lives in Washington County and the only open shelter is in Minneapolis. Some youth are really involved in school, and they’re worried (about how they’re going to get to school tomorrow). They have goals. We don’t want to just pluck them up and stick them over here because they’re out of their community, they’re away from their friends. So we need local resources
Sheriff attends 5th-grade graduation Washington County Sheriff Dan Starry and DARE instructor Deputy Sheriff Kelly Olson attended Oneka Elementary School’s fifth-grade graduation ceremony June 6. Principal Teresa Dahlem welcomed the 175 students and their parents, thanking them for their hard work and dedication over the past school year. Olson spoke about the impact DARE had on her youthful experiences, and how knowledge gained through DARE influenced her choices and later solidified her desire to become a police officer. Olson also announced the winners of this year’s DARE essay contests: Aida Thiam, Lauryn Chaffee, Paige Sogard, Charles Racine, Mason Noren and Cleo Jurkovich. Each winner received a gold medal and read their essay in front of a packed audience. Alongside Oneka’s fifth-grade teachers, Starry and Olson presented diplomas to the graduates. In a nod to coming full circle, Starry acknowledged that at one point he was fi fth-grade teacher Mrs. Moren’s DARE instructor. “I have witnessed the positive relationships the DARE program fosters between students and deputies. It provides an excellent setting to open up conversations and build problem-solving skills around real life situations such as bullying and internet security,” he said.

OURTH OF JULY is just around the corner and everyone looks forward to band concerts, picnics and fi reworks. Remember to be careful with fi reworks. Independence Day goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence and two days later delegates from 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historical document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence. Initial battles of the RevoluAbout the tionary War took place because colonists had a desire to have Town independence from Great Britain. everyone had this desire, but Gene Johnson Not little-by-little numbers grew and eventually when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia, Virginia’s delegate, Richard Henry, introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence. Though the vote was postponed on the resolution, the five-man committee, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin and Robert Livingston, drafted a formal statement which justified the break with Great Britain. MINNESOTA IS BEAUTIFUL with the vegetation so lush and green, and the many flowers blooming throughout our communities. This is also the time of year when there are many celebrations throughout our communities to enjoy family, friends and neighbors. Reach out to your neighbors, build friendships and enjoy the gifts of community. RAMSEY COUNTY HAS a good program for recycling hazardous waste. I used it recently for fluorescent tubes and old paint. The closest location for us is Maplewood near the Aldrich Arena in the parking lot. They are open Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. I got there right on time and had a 20-minute wait with approximately 15 cars ahead of me. If you have any questions about this program, there is a hotline at 651-633-3279 answered 24/7. PAUL “THE PLUMBER” Carlson has been playing the role of Santa in our communities for quite a number of years. He is scheduled for a national conference in Colorado in the near future. When I was visiting with him the other day, I said, “Tell me from your experience a memorable request from a child.” He replied, “Bring my mommy and dad back together.” Paul’s response was, “I only take requests for toys, but I’ll pray for your mom and dad.” Another was a 94 yearold lady who asked if she could sit on his lap. Her daughter said, “Why? Didn’t you ever do that?” She said, “Well, when I was young there were no Santas available,” so she did and acted like a six year old. A RECENT MAILING from the Children’s Home Society’s president Maureen Warren brought home an important point to me. She says, “A child who lacks a permanent nurturing home is likely to lose their sense of security and will likely have to deal with the effects of unstable beginnings.” She goes on to say that these children have to heal from the trauma they have endured without care. I was adopted through Lutheran Social Service which works closely with the Children’s Home Society through which we adopted our son, Cameron. I am thankful for my family and I hope others who have been adopted can say the same. The Children’s Home Society’s mission is: We define family as two or more people, whether living together or apart, related by blood, marriage, adoption or commitment to care for one another.

T
he recent egg recall was a wake up call. Eggs are one of the most versatile, nutritious and widely consumed food item. Unfortunately, the egg recall was large and many people got sick. Food travels far these days, and many products under different names come from the same large production plants, which increases the number of Movers and people affected by contamination and Shakers a recall. A single prodMegan Baumler uct can contain ingredients from many diff different production sites, sometimes making it difficult to trace the source of contamination. Contamination can occur at multiple points along the path of a food before it gets to our table. Peanut butter, wheat flour, frozen fruit, melon, romaine are all foods that have been subject to contamination and recall recently. The FDA is limited in the oversight of food safety, leaving much of the responsibility to the consumer. While the food we bring into our home has the risk of being contaminated, there are several steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of developing a foodborne illness. These safe food
practices will allow us to continue to enjoy delicious food and be nourished. 1. Cook foods thoroughly and use a thermometer to check temperatures. Bringing a food to the recommended temperature is known as the “kill step.” Even if there is pathogenic bacteria present on or in the food item prior to cooking, if the food reaches the recommended temperatures prior to being consumed, the bacteria will die and not cause illness. Do not consume undercooked foods, including over-easy eggs. 2. Foods that will be eaten raw (fruits and vegetables) should be washed thoroughly. Produce does not require a special wash — just plenty of water will eliminate any potential contaminants. 3. Prevent cross contamination by eliminating any contact between raw meats and foods that will not be cooked prior to eating. Prepare meats and poultry in a separate area or on a separate cutting board, and wash area and tools thoroughly with soap and hot water immediately after preparation. Anything that comes into contact with the raw meat or poultry, such as a spoon, bowl, counter, or hands, must be washed before touching anything else. 4. Wash hands and forearms with hot soapy water for 20 seconds, and dry thoroughly prior to working with food. If
you have cuts or scrapes on your hands, use gloves, or do not participate in food preparation. Cuts or open wounds easily become infected with stapholococcus aureas, which can contaminate food. Do not touch your face or hair while participating in food prep. Wash hands frequently and most especially after using the bathroom. 5. Do not consume food that has been between 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit (“the danger zone”) for more than 2 hours. At this temperature for this duration of time, bacteria present in the food can multiply to an extent that if consumed, would make a person sick. While throwing out food can be painful, it is not nearly as painful as food poisoning can be. It is not worth the risk. 6. Follow directions exactly when canning foods at home, and only consume home canned gifted foods if you trust that the giver followed safe canning practices. The University of Minnesota Food Safety Extension has excellent modules on home canning and food safety that are short and easy to understand. Use these safe practices and enjoy the simple pleasure of food.

The wildlife wake-up call
D
id you know that we’ve lost 50 percent of our songbirds in the last 40 years? And monarch populations have declined by 90 percent in the last two decades? And these are just showy species that people pay attention to. What about all of the unsung heroes out there like native “solitary” bees that account for 90 percent of the bees worldwide and do the majority of the pollination? Their populations are declining too, but they are harder to track because of their elusive nature. How did we get here? It’s simple. According to renowned professor of wildlife and entomology, Doug Tallamy, we’ve taken away 95 percent of our country’s native plants, or the plants that are indigenous to a region. It seems that in adding urban spaces, agriculture, ornamental plants and lawn, we’ve forgotten our basic biology and done away with the primary producers — aka the food chain base. In fact, 15,364 scientists from 184 countries signed “A Second Notice,”
which is an open letter to humanity pleading for humans to cut greenhouse gases and reverse the trend of collapsing biodiversity. They are seeking to raise awareness that a mass species extinction is currently happening. We are amidst the sixth mass extinction in the last 540 million years. Even though this is certainly jaw-dropping, depressing there is good Lawnchair news, news. This enormous Gardener problem has a solution: bring back the Dawn Pape native plants into our landscapes wherever possible. most of the land in our ibl Since Si country is privately owned, individuals’ collective efforts can turn the situation around. If you are wondering why the insects, birds and other wildlife can’t just use the greenery that abounds
in our landscape, here is the short answer: the critters either don’t know how to use the plant, or the plant doesn’t provide adequate nutrition. Ornamental plants are generally either non-native or cultivated for showy traits. Since the last ice age over 10,000 years ago, plants and wildlife have evolved together and have formed intricate relationships that we are only just beginning to understand. According to Tallamy, a native plant supports 29 times more species than a non-native plant. Cultivated varieties of plants are engineered for specifi c showy traits that typically compromises the nectar and pollen in the blooms. Native wildflowers provide higher-quality nectar and pollen to insects than cultivated varieties (cultivars) that are most popular at nurseries. A logical starting point for restoring biodiversity would be to start with lawns. According to NASA satellite imagery, we currently have three times more area taken up by lawns than corn — and corn is our largest
agricultural crop. A question people could ponder is, “If the only time I go out on this lawn is to mow it, do I really need this space as grass?” Perhaps it could be planted with native flowers, bushes and trees to serve a higher purpose of supporting our pollinators, that, in turn, sustain us. If you don’t want to learn how to garden with native plants, consider hiring someone to do it for you. If this column was your wake-up call and you are wondering how to get started, a helpful website is BlueThumb.org. The site has a list of nurseries, designers, installers, plant selector tool, grant information and DIY information too. You can also make a pledge to plant for pollinators and clean water. Dawn Pape is a Master Gardener, holds a master’s degree in environmental education and can be reached at dawn@ lawnchairgardener.com.

working 14-16 hour days at work, he still makes time to be a good neighbor. He has been known to plow snow; loan neighbors a truck, chairs and tables; pull cars out of ditches; and — of course — fi x things. He also lends his pool to a neighbor with a disability so they can cool off during the hot summer months. Kissner was shocked and thought someone was playing a joke on him when he was informed he was the Good Neighbor of the Year. “Am I a good neighbor? Yeah. Do I think I do anything special? No. I don’t consider it special, I just do it,” he said. “I was thinking, “What did I do in the last six months to a year that I don’t normally do?’” He also said, if anything, he did less last year. He broke his pelvis after he fell off of his cabin roof, which prevented him from working for almost four months. “I am shocked, I am humbled and I feel honored. Do I feel like I deserve it? Yes, but no,” he said.

He also loves the company of his family and friends and playing sports with his grandchildren. As the Good Neighbor of the

Clue No. 4 first hints at the proxi proximity of a trail t Spike’s hiding to p place. C Clues No. 5 and 6 refers to “groups of three,” inviting the Spike hunter to exp explore Hugo’s parks and spot things that occ occur in threes. McCol Collar Park contains a la large pond where mu multiple (four or five) clum clumps of standing dea dead tree trunks are sca scattered about, easily vvisible from the stre street and trail. Also, Spi Spike was eventually hid hidden in the vicinity of a clump of three Sum Sumac stems lined in a perfect row. The refe reference “knock on wood wood” refers to the idea tthat the things in thre threes are trees or shrubs. Clue No. 6 introduces th the idea that the “things o of three” lie near
wetlands, trails and streets (ways and means). Clue No. 7 contains two pointed references to McCollar Park in Fable Hill. It first refers to the poet Samuel Coleridge, who said that to enjoy stories and fables, you must “suspend your disbelief.” It also states that the park is hilly (“relief,” as in relief map). Few of Hugo’s parks are hilly, but McCollar is one of them. Clue No. 8 isolates the park to west of Highway 61 “(Bob) Dylan’s route” and refers to Fable Hill Way, which is a winding road. It also mentions two specific bridges (spans) in the neighborhood; to reach Fable Hill directly from the north or east, you have to cross a bridge (either the Fable Hill Way bridge or Victor Hugo Blvd. bridge, both over over Clearwater Creek). “Sunwise or widdershins” (clockwise or counterclockwise) describes the direction you must choose
when getting to the park; it’s in the middle of a circular drive (Clearwater Creek Park Preserve, also in Fable Hill, is on a dead end). “Go hug” refers to the lettering you see on Water Tower No. 2 just above the eastern skyline when you are standing along the park trail where Spike is hidden (the end of “HuGO” and the beginning of “HUGo” painted on the tower). Clue No. 9 specifically refers to the Sumac along the trail bank in the vicinity where Spike is hidden. It also refers to a famous fable, “The Tortoise and the Hare,” which is also a big hint that Spike is hidden in Fable Hill. Lastly, Clue No. 10 mentions that Spike is camouflaged (he was wrapped in green floral tape to ensure he wouldn’t be found by a trail user by accident) in McCollar Park. This clue was never posted, as he was found around 5 p.m. Saturday night after Clue No. 9 went live.

Hugo seeking input for Clearwater Creek Preserve The city of Hugo is partnering with Living Healthy in Washington County and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership to master plan Clearwater Creek Preserve. The park, located at 4826 Fable Hill Circle, offers more than 100 acres of woods and wetlands for community enjoyment with roughly one half-mile of trails through the open space. The trails have fallen in disrepair due to the wet conditions of the park and improvements are expected to be a part of the plan. There will be an open house from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, June 26, at Hugo City Hall, 14669 Fitzgerald Ave. North. All residents are invited to share their input on future improvements they would like included in the master plan, as well as ideas for the community park. An online survey is also available at www. ci.hugo.mn.us. The master plan will illustrate preferred trail types and locations and desired support amenities including access and parking, restrooms, signage and more. As a passive park, dogs are allowed to be off leash and use of archery equipment is allowed. Passive parks in Hugo are guided to have little to no programming beyond trails, picnic shelters, open space, or open fields. They intentionally have minimal maintenance compared to active parks in the city. Residents can find updates on the city’s website and Facebook page. From press release

Centerville tidbits The Centerville City Council took the following action at its June 13 meeting: • Approved distribution of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan draft for review and comment by the Metropolitan Council, neighboring jurisdictions and other state agencies. Deadline for submission is June 30. A public hearing on the draft plan was held at the June 5 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and garnered no comments from the public. • Approved the Trailside Park final pay request in the amount of $69,682. The city will be reimbursed with approximately $45,000 with an end cost to the city of about $24,000, to come from the sewer fund. Work on the project is complete. • Approved the Alexandra House request for a sponsorship in 2019 in the amount of $2,000. Alexandra House provides various forms of legal assistance to victims of domestic and sexual violence, as well as a crisis line, crisis intervention and many other services to the community. • Approved a gambling permit application from the Centennial Youth Hockey Association for activities to be held at Wiseguys Pizza and Pub. • By a vote of 3-2 (Council Members Steve King and Matthew Montain opposed) approved in-house billing of waste and recycling services. City billing, as opposed to hauler billing, would save the city some $16,000 over five years, or $3,200 annually. The savings would then be passed onto residents. Dedicated staff time for billing work would involve 60 extra hours and cost the city approximately $2,100. The bills for refuse and recycling services would be included with the municipal sewer/water bills. Staff also maintains that inhouse billing would streamline the delinquent utility/ assessment process every year. • Approved a one-month extension to the waste and recycling hauler contract with Waste Management, which will now expire on July 31. The city and a different contractor, Republic Services, are currently attempting to negotiate a contract for services for the next five years. • Approved the audit of the 2017 fiscal year after an overview of the audit results from Bonnie Schweiger, audit manager of Abdo, Eick & Meyers, the city’s auditing firm. Schweiger said her firm didn’t find any issues with the city’s financial statements and gave an unmodified opinion — the

highest opinion given. • Recognized the service of Ellen Paulseth, who was hired as the city’s first financial director in 2002, bringing 21 years of experience with her. Paulseth served the city as financial director off and on until 2018. A resident of the community, Paulseth was lauded for her diligent oversight, under which the city gained and retained financial stability and obtained an AA+ bond rating. • Authorized city staff to offer the position of part-time financial director to one of the four candidates interviewed
earlier in the week. The council did not share the name of the finance director selection, as a job offer hadn’t been made at the time of the meeting. • Discussed the revised Fete des Lacs budget. The Fetes des Lacs committee has scheduled the dates for the festival for July 17-22. The parade theme for this year will be “Cougar Pride,” and Kari Letourneau has been selected as grand marshal. The council next meets at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 27, at City Hall, 1880 Main St. Loretta Harding
Hugo bits and pieces HUGO — The City Council conducted the following business at its June 4 meeting: • Awarded bid for Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue street improvement project to North Valley Inc. in amount of $765,000. • Approved wetland replacement plan for Oneka Place residential development. Developer Len Pratt plans to develop 120 acres formerly known as the Leroux parcel to include 177 single family homes. About 0.9 acres of wetlands will be impacted. The remaining wetlands on the property was not proposed to be impacted and the eastern 40 acres, which contains significant wetlands, would be dedicated to the
city. Pratt plans to purchase wetland credits to replace the impact to the basin. • Approved hiring of Pierre Giguere as community development intern for six months. • Approved resignation of Adam Sauerwein from fire department. He is moving out of Hugo. • Heard a Hugo Yellow Ribbon Network report from Councilmen Chuck Haas and Phil Klein. Noted was a $700 donation from the Bald Eagle Sportsmen’s Association from its open house earlier this month. Debra Neutkens

“BAO” (G) — An adorable, hilarious, creative, dialoguefree, 4-minute animated comedy in which a Chinese housewife suffering from the empty nest syndrome and loneliness fills a void in her life by imagining that a steamed dumpling that she is cooking comes to life, which gives her immense joy until she can be reunited with her son; shows with “Incredibles 2” film.

— After a wealthy telecommunications mogul (voiceover by Bob Odenkirk) hires Elastigirl (voiceover by Holly Hunter) to protect the city where superheroes are illegal and her Mr. Incredible husband (voiceover by Craig T. Nelson) must care for their three children (voiceovers by Sarah Vowell, Huck Miller and Eli Fucile) who have superpowers in this action-packed, family-oriented, funny, entertaining, colorful, star-dotted (voiceovers by Catherine Keener, Isabella Rossellini, Sophia Bush, John Ratzenberger, Barry Bostwick, Jonathan Banks and Michael Bird), 118-minute animated comedy, the superhero family finds itself fighting a vindictive, illusive villain who hypnotizes some “supers” (voiceover by Samuel L. Jackson, et al.) in order for them to do her bidding.
WEEKLY AVERAGES
It was a downright tropical weekend. Friday kicked it off with JUNE 20-26, 2018 temperatures climbing into the low or mid 90’s. If the heat High 80° didn’t get you, the humidity did. Dew points on Saturday Low 60° reached into the mid to upper 70’s....that is about the highest they ever get. The heat and humidity were just two-thirds of %Sun 65% the total picture; the third part of the trifecta was the over 3 PCP 0.99” inches of rain I totaled Saturday morning. Welcome to Summer 2018, which began at 5:07am June 20. Congratulations to running friends who ran Grandma’s Marathon on Saturday under great weather conditions. Hats off to Chris Lahren who set his PR of 3hrs 18min, Mike Kaiser who ran his 52nd marathon and Dan LaPlante who ran it in an incredible 2hrs 37min, 6:01 pace.

Fun Fact
Tears caused by sadness, happiness and onions look different under the microscope.
“FIRST REFORMED” (R) [SOME DISTURBING VIOLENT IMAGES.] — After an alcoholic, former military chaplain (Ethan Hawke), grieving for his son and questioning his faith at a 250-year church in Snowbridge, New York, counsels a depressed parishioner (Philip Ettinger), who is preoccupied and worried about the dire state of the Earth, and his pregnant wife (Amanda Seyfried) in Paul Schrader’s powerful, somber, poignant, well-acted, unsettling, star-studded (Cedric the Entertainer, Michael Gaston and Bill Hoag), 108-minute film with a shocking ending, he tries to pretend everything is all right while preparing for an elaborate reconsecration ceremony.
Did you know? Bubble wrap was originally intended to be used as wallpaper.
“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.” — H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
“TAG” (R) [LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, CRUDE SEXUAL CONTENT, DRUG USE AND BRIEF NUDITY.] — A wacky, over-the-top, factually inspired, funny, star-studded (Isla Fisher, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones, Nora Dunn and Brian Dennehy), 100-minute pratfall comedy based on Russell Adam’s Wall Street Journal article “It Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being It” in which four longtime friends, including a veterinarian (Ed Helms), an insurance company CEO (Jon Hamm), an unemployed pothead (Jake Johnson) and an African American (Hannibal Buress) in therapy, try to tag an agile fifth friend (Jeremy Renner) who owns a gym in Spokane, Washington, and has avoided being tagged for 30 years, sometime during his wedding festivities while a journalist (Annabelle Wallis) tags along to write a story for The Wall Street Journal.
“HOTEL ARTEMIS” (R) [VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, SOME SEXUAL REFERENCES AND BRIEF DRUG USE.] — A gritty, unusual, well-acted, dark, violent, star-studded (Zachary Quinto, Jenny Slate and Kenneth Choi), 93-minute thriller reminiscent of the “John Wick” films in which an aging, shuffling nurse (Jodie Foster) runs a members-only clinic for injured criminals (Sterling K. Brown, Charlie Day and Brian Tyree Henry) at a dilapidated hotel with the help of a strong-armed assistant (Dave Bautista) in riot-torn Los Angeles in 2028 and a night turns even more deadly when a skilled assassin (Sofia Boutella) infiltrates the hotel to kill a crime lord (Jeff Goldblum).
