A ‘MIRACLE’: Dancer recovers from cardiac arrest PAGE 3
$326 million bond expected on fall ballot BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
The White Bear Lake Area Schools Board is expected to vote July 15 on a $326 million bond referendum to be included on the November ballot. The board discussed details of the plans at a workshop June 27. The bond would be for proposed plans for a one-campus high school, new elementary school in Hugo and other building upgrades in the district. The plans for the next 10 years include a one-campus high school at North Campus, the relocation of Sunrise Park Middle School to South Campus, and a new K-5 elementary school in Hugo. Oneka Elementary in Hugo would become a K-5 school and Hugo Elementary would become an early childhood center. Sunrise would become an early childhood center, transition center and senior center, and would house district offices. The vacated District Center would be an expansion for Central Middle School. The 100-year-old building would be fi lled with children again, noted Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Tim Wald. Safety and security improvements, as well as flexible learning spaces, are also part of the plans. The board would also include two long-term facilities maintenance bonds totaling $50 million to cover costs of the plans. The board has the authority to issue such bonds without voter approval, per state law. The project costs would be spread out over time with the bonds, said Shelby McQuay, Ehlers consultant. The increase would begin in January 2020 and stay level. “In no year will the taxpayers in the district see any increase or decrease. It is just meant to be level between pay 2020 and pay 2044.” The tax impact for the $326 million in voter-approved bonds on a $275,000 home would be an increase of $280 per year, according to board documents. For a $1 million commercial building, it would be about $1,300.
Moonstruck: On 50th anniversary of lunar landing, residents remember mankind’s giant leap BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
Saturday, July 20, marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. On that day, in 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle, which carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made contact with the surface of the moon while Michael Collins piloted the command module, Columbia, in lunar orbit. As Armstrong stepped out onto the moon, he uttered what have since become immortal words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Steve Emert, of White Bear Lake, was 15 at the time and “very excited” about the moon landing. He and his family, he said, “like many others, watched everything on CBS because we felt that Walter Cronkite, accompanied by astronaut Wally Schirra, was the best reporter for the Apollo program.” Digital video recorders didn’t exist in the 1960s, but tape recorders, at least, did. Emert said he tape-recorded the entire special leading up to the landing, in addition to the broadcast of the landing and the moonwalk itself. “I sure wish we had video recording capabilities in those days,” he added.

A ‘miracle’: Dancer recovers from cardiac arrest BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
A 16-year-old Hugo dancer was running up the stairs for a quick costume change at a recital in June when she collapsed to the floor and went into cardiac arrest. After a two-week stay in the hospital and two major surgeries two days apart, Kaylyn Rosewell’s recovery is worthy of the term “miracle” used by the nurses and doctors who tended to her at Children’s Hospital of Minneapolis. All Kaylyn remembers about June 2 is the first recital at the University of Northwestern and a picnic in between shows, despite making it more than halfway through the second show. Kaylyn, the daughter of Todd and Rebecca Rosewell of Hugo, will be a senior at White Bear Lake High School this fall. She was first exposed to dance after her mother put her in a class when she was 3. “I absolutely hated it,” Kaylyn said. While in second grade, Kaylyn had a change of heart and convinced her mom to let her try dancing again, which she stuck to this time. She has danced at Larkin Dance Studio in Maplewood since she was 8 years old. Rebecca was helping out in the dressing room when she noticed her daughter wasn’t quite acting like herself. “We have a TV monitor so we can keep track of the show and know where we are at. I was watching and wondering why she was being so lazy — something was wrong. She looked super tired and she just wasn’t being herself,” Rebecca explained. Kaylyn then had trouble making it upstairs for a quick costume change. Initially, Rebecca thought she was overheated, or perhaps her daughter’s asthma was acting up. “She started wobbling, and her eyes started rolling back in her head. That’s when I knew someone needed to get a nurse,” Rebecca said.
Kaylyn went into cardiac arrest. Fortunately, a doctor, a nurse and an EMT all happened to be sitting in the audience and responded immediately to begin chest compressions. AED shocks were also administered. The 911 dispatcher warned that the closest ambulance was 20 minutes away and the next closest was 40 minutes away. Roseville Fire Chief Tim O’Neill confirmed later that police and fire personnel from multiple agencies arrived on the scene in about four minutes. The ambulance took more than 20 minutes to arrive, longer than normal. He said that under state law, the agencies that responded to the call were not allowed to transport patients. Kaylyn was taken to the pediatric cardiovascular intensive care unit at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. Doctors discovered Kaylyn had a patent foramen ovale (PFO), or a hole in the heart, that didn’t close the way it should have after birth. Doctors also discovered Kaylyn has an anomalous left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus — simply put, a heart defect. “Basically, an artery was displaced. They normally find this in elite athletes once they are 16,17, 18,” Rebecca explained. “Her artery was between two ventricles, and because her heart was under so much stress from the day, it had shut off that artery. That’s why her heart stopped (twice).” Both of those conditions were corrected following a four-hour open chest surgery. Kaylyn is still awaiting the results to see if she has arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a heartbeat rhythm issue. As a safety precaution, two days after the open chest surgery Kaylyn underwent a second surgery to put in an implantable cardiovascular-defibrillator (ICD) to protect her if she does have ARVC or goes into cardiac arrest again.

It has been a stressful spring for the Rosewell family. Kaylyn’s father suffered a major stroke at the age of 45 six weeks before Kaylyn’s scare. Rebecca had to take care of her husband and daughter simultaneously but is thankful she had help from family and friends. “We have kind of been through the ringer as far as crazy health emergencies that were super close together, things that normally cause death or permanent damage, and they both came out with relatively nothing, for the most part,” Rebecca said. Kaylyn is still recovering from the surgical procedures and attends physical therapy once a week. Even though she can’t go back to dancing just yet, she was able to travel with her studio to nationals in Las Vegas June 28-July 6. While there, she also found out what an earthquake feels like — twice. “Hopefully we will have a pretty
Kaylyn Rosewell
normal senior year and get her off to college like a normal kid,” Rebecca said. After graduating from high school, Kaylyn hopes to attend the University of Minnesota - Duluth to pursue a degree in education and become a member of the dance team.

A trillion
n old adage suggests that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. While taking photos and talking to participants during a tree planting event earlier this summer, my thoughts and preconceived notions shifted from skeptical to more positive and optimistic. The tree planting was part of a legal settlement with the Water Gremlin company and involved the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Tree Trust. My first thought was that this mandatory planting of trees in a park was simply a grudging appeasement stemming from a settlement. However, the more I talked to the participants, I began to appreciate the genuinely positive impact, especially looking 20 or 30 years into the future. I Angle of was told — to help prevent the possibility of some sort of blight View (like Dutch elm disease or emerald ash borer) wiping out all of the trees Paul Dols at once — that a variety of species were being planted, including honey locust, Kentucky coffee, disease resistant elm and oak, some with a life expectancy exceeding 100 years. A recent article titled “Tree planting ‘has mindblowing potential’ to tackle climate crisis” that I first saw on The Guardian website, an international news site originating in the United Kingdom, featured the findings of a group of scientists in Switzerland, who, using satellite imagery to calculate how many more trees could be planted without encroaching on crop land or urban areas, suggested that planting a trillion trees around the world to help collect greenhouse gases could be “by far the biggest and cheapest way to tackle the climate crisis.” They surmised that there is available land and with the appropriate funding and incentives the initiative was possible and would have positive results over time. It was not suggested that tree planting (or reforestation) was the only way to address the problem of global warming and climate change, but certainly a promising, well-researched component of any national or international strategy. Variations of the story appeared on several other news sites including The New York Times, CNN, phys.org and Science. More information about the study can be found at crowtherlab.com. During an interview taped earlier this year and recently rebroadcast on the television news program 60 Minutes, it was disappointing to see the high level of skepticism and even condescension that newly elected United States House Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez faced concerning the “Green New Deal” policy package she was introducing. While I agree that she should be able to answer detailed questions about the ambitious proposal to curb greenhouse gas emissions, while also transforming the economy, she should have been given the same level of respect as all government representatives by the interviewer (Anderson Cooper). The ambition and scope of the “Green New Deal” is somewhat reminiscent of the space program in the 1960s. Some of the details in the recently aired PBS American Experience documentary “Chasing the Moon” revealed, among other things, that a successful outcome was far from a sure thing, while also reaffirming the perspective that while the astronauts were sent to explore the moon, they ended up really discovering the Earth. Also, if it was an elaborate hoax, as some suggest, the ability to meticulously create scads of audio, video and photographic evidence, along with keeping the more than 500,000 witnesses directly involved with the project and the Russian and Chinese governments silent for all these years is, in my opinion, a feat equally, if not more, impressive than actually flying a rocket to the moon.

Compromises for a better Minnesota
ow that the 2019 legislative session has ended, I wanted to provide an update on what we accomplished and share some information that may be useful. This year, Minnesota proved that divided government can work. My colleagues and I know that Minnesotans expect us to compromise and get the job done in a civil and respectful way, and we did. Working in one of the nation’s only divided legislatures, we passed a state budget that invests in schools and Legislator children of all ages, preserves Lingo health care access for more Peter Fischer than one million Minnesotans, protects our seniors, delivers targeted tax cuts and protects the environment. Standing up for students Every child deserves a worldclass education, and this year we put Minnesota schools on the right track. I helped fight for an annual 2% increase in per-student funding and strong investments in special education. We also secured voluntary pre-K opportunities for 4,000 of Minnesota’s youngest learners. Preserving health care access All Minnesotans should have access to affordable, high-quality
health care. This year, we preserved health care access for 1.2 million Minnesotans and addressed soaring prescription drug costs. We got tough on middle men who drive up the price of medications and improved drug pricing transparency and accountability. Protecting Minnesota seniors In response to reports of abuse and neglect, we passed sweeping reforms to protect seniors and vulnerable adults in assisted living facilities. We created licensing requirements with enforceable safeguards, established a residents’ bill of rights and gave residents the ability to install a safety camera in their living space. Delivering targeted tax cuts The bipartisan tax plan we passed will put more money in the pockets of Minnesotans. We cut taxes for middle class families with the first income tax cut in almost two decades. We expanded tax credits for working families and small businesses and reduced taxes on Social Security for seniors. Protecting our environment As Minnesotans, we know our state is a special place to live and want it to remain that way for years to come. I helped address longterm threats to our environment, including aquatic invasive species and emerald ash borer. I worked hard on a streamlined planning process that will restore water quality while saving the state money, and I supported strengthening protections for
natural resources and expanding access to parks, trails and outdoor recreation. Property tax refund I’d like to remind folks to apply for a property tax refund or renters credit. Many Minnesotans qualify for this refund but forget to file before the Aug. 15 deadline. Take a few minutes to find out more about eligibility requirements and apply online atrevenue.state.mn.us. College scholarships If you’re planning to attend one of the Minnesota State colleges next year, you may be eligible for a scholarship. Workforce Development Scholarships are still available for students pursuing high-demand careers including agriculture, health care services and early childhood education. More information is available at minnstate.edu/stories/wds. Stay in touch There’s more work to be done to make Minnesota an even better place to live, work and raise a family. I look forward to talking with you in the coming months about how we can keep our state moving forward together. Please feel free to email me at rep.peter. fischer@house.mn or call me at 651296-5363 if you have questions or concerns or if I can be of assistance. Rep.

Cabin catastrophes… and how to avoid them
N
othing ruins a weekend at the cabin more than an unexpected trip to the doctor. Sometimes just knowing what to look out for can make the difference between a relaxing afternoon on the dock and an overnight stay in the hospital. Rope and docking injuries The rope itself can also be dangerous. Drivers and spotters need to be careful not to get a hand or finger under a tow rope. It is also important to remember to never step on the gas of the boat unless the rope is taught and you can see all of it. A rope hiding under the water could be tangled on a water ski or tuber’s hand. We have seen many injuries to hands and rope burns to the body because boaters aren’t paying close attention to the rope before taking off. We also see injuries to hands and fingers that have been crushed between the dock and the boat or two boats. Lures Lures are the culprit of the most common fishing injury we see at The Urgency Room. I’ve seen lures stuck in hands, legs, heads, faces… you name it. The most common lure injuries happen when someone is baiting the hook or
trying to take the hook out of the fish’s mouth. We also see injuries when casting. Be aware of your surroundings and never cast when people are near you. These injuries can be very painful, especially Movers & if the barb is stuck beneath the skin. Do Shakers not remove a lure that easy to get out. Carolyn McClain isn’t Instead, come see us and we will numb the area with lidocaine before removing the lure. That (not so) clean lake water If you have a small cut on your foot and go swimming in the lake, there is a very good chance that cut will get infected. Minnesota lakes are filled with bacteria. One example is Aeromonas hydrophila. This is a type of bacteria commonly found in freshwater or brackish water and in some fish. It can contaminate an open cut and cause a serious skin infection. Aeromonas hydrophila can also cause stomach upset, diarrhea and vomiting if
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
swallowed. As a general rule, cuts in the lake need to be cleaned out thoroughly as even the most minor cut can get infected. Swimmers itch is another ailment we see this time of year when enjoying our Minnesota lakes. It can be incredibly itchy and often doesn’t show up for a day or two after swimming in an infected lake. If you have it, we want to see you at The Urgency Room, as this almost unbearable itch can be treated with steroids. Bites and rashes Mosquitos and gnats in Minnesota this time of year are just horrible. We worry about the skin infection that can occur when bites are itched so much the skin is broken. They can cause a lot of discomfort and swelling. Hornets and wasps are also a concern, as a bite from either can easily turn into a huge welt that is red and hot to the touch. If this sounds familiar, we want to see you. Poison ivy is another skin concern. We like to remind patients that they can also catch it from picking up a pet that has been walking through an area with the plant.
Fire pit burns While enjoyable, bonfires are also a source of serious burn injuries. The first and most important step to treating minor and serious burns is simple: cool it down. If you’re at home, run the injury under cold tap water or grab anything cold to pour over the burn, even a soft drink will work. The key thing is to act quickly because when you get burned, your skin literally starts to cook. You want to stop that process immediately. Speedy action with cold water reduces pain, swelling and the risk of scarring. Dehydration A day on the boat is dehydrating enough, but add alcohol to the mix and you’ve got a dangerous combination. We cannot stress enough the importance of moderation while up at the cabin. Be sure to hydrate properly and be smart. Spend your vacation relaxing… not rushing to the doctor for an injury that could have been prevented. Dr. Carolyn McClain, medical director of The Urgency Room
COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Restricting fireworks People fi ring off their fi reworks all week is not celebrating the Fourth of July. It’s more like celebrating their own ego. Most dogs can’t tolerate that noise. I was outside last Saturday when my neighbors started blasting away with fi reworks. Not only is that noise irritating to me, it scared my dog to death. He took off and was gone all night until 3:30 a.m. Apparently the dog went through the slough and got stuck in the mud. I thought for sure the coyotes got him, for I was looking for him most of the night. I think we had better restrict fi reworks to one day — the Fourth of July — instead of banging away all week.

Willow is an incredibly sweet and affectionate kitty toward her people. She loves getting pets and sitting with people on the couch or in bed. She isn't as fond of close snuggling or being held for long periods of time, but it doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy the company. Willow is a very playful kitty and would do well in a household where she can have lots of playtime. She likes to spend time sitting on her cat tree and looking out the window and jumping up where she can be high off the ground. She does not seem to mind other cats in the shelter. Willow needs to be observed very carefully, as she has a habit of ingesting items that shouldn't be eaten and has had a few blockages that required surgery to correct. She was returned to Feline Rescue due to her last blockage because the owners couldn't afford her surgery. To adopt Willow, submit an online adoption inquiry form at felinerescue.org/adopt-a-cat/ adoption-inquiry-form/.

Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) attended a question-and-answer session July 1 at Hugo City Hall. The event, which was hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, focused on legislative priorities.
Senator and White Bear Chamber discuss government affairs BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
HUGO — Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) joined members of the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce on Monday, July 1, at Hugo City Hall for a question and answer session on legislative priorities. Questions covered a range of state, regional and local issues, but primarily focused on tax revenue, transportation and infrastructure. Thanks to the transportation funding bill passed by the state legislature in 2017, “there’s a lot of money out there for roads and bridges. The number we have for total infrastructure, transportation spending is about $8 billion over the next few years. So, it’s significant money.” Chamberlain also voiced concern about the Rush Line Rapid Transit Project, a proposed 14-mile transit route that would run from downtown White Bear Lake to downtown St. Paul. “We need good public transportation in the northeast (metro) here, but putting a stupid ramp and bus stop in the middle of downtown White Bear

Lake is the most insane idea I’ve ever heard of. It’s contemporary modern thinking: let’s take a pearl and a gem of the metro area, and let’s destroy it with 90 buses a day, and all that stuff spewing out,” he said. “With all this space out here, we need to be served, but jamming something like that (in downtown White Bear Lake) is just insanity.” Several questions were asked about additional revenue for commercial rail. Chamberlain acknowledged the importance of rail, particularly throughout Minnesota history, but said that he could not guarantee that funding could be secured within the next legislative session. “It’s certainly something that can be looked at, but I’m just going to be honest: I’m not going to promise that I’m going to go out there and support $50 (million) to $100 million to hand out to large rail companies to repair their tracks,” he said. “It’s an important part of our infrastructure, but we have to make choices, right? Bike paths or rail lines? Rail lines or roads?...There are limits of what we can do and what the priorities are.”
Dementia-friendly survey launched for airports The Roseville Alzheimer’s and Dementia Community Action Team (A/D) has launched an online survey where people with dementia can share their experiences in air travel. The Roseville A/D is partnered with the Dementia-Friendly Airports Working Group, a Twin Cities-based group of researchers from the
University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Australia’s Brisbane Airport and other groups. There is little data addressing the difficulties that people living with dementia have in airports, but plenty of anecdotes. Navigating security and crowds can lead to anxiety and confusion. The survey is designed to address these
difficulties and improve accommodations. “There is tremendous excitement about this effort on the part of dementia service providers, travelers and their companions dealing with dementia,” Roseville A/D founder Sara Barsel said in a press release. “Navigating airports can be daunting for anyone, but especially for people with hidden disabilities like dementia.” Survey participants will remain anonymous and the survey is available to fi ll out through Sept. 15. It can be found at bit.ly/DementiaFriendly Airports.

CENTERVILLE — This year's Fete des Lacs grand marshal was selected not only because of his many years of service to the city, but also because the festival committee wanted to recognize a veteran in honor of this year's festival theme, “Tribute to the Troops.” Tom Lee, who grew up in St. Paul, moved to Centerville in September 1998. He explained his choice: “I worked in Lino Lakes, so every time I would go to work, I would drive through here and I would see kids playing out in yards. We wanted our kids to grow up in a neighborhood. There was a lot of kids and there was a sense of community,” Lee said. “We wanted a place that our kids could always consider their hometown, and this was it.” While Lee was on the City Council (2003-2010), he served as the Parks and Recreation Committee liaison. “I realized that there was a whole lot of musical talent in this area. There are probably six bands within walking distance of my house and a couple other musicians,” Lee recalled. “I thought it would be neat to do a Music in the Park, but I didn't want to spend any tax dollars to do it. Being on the council, I was pretty aware of where money Tom Lee went.” That's where Pat Branch, then Parks and Recreation chair, came in. He dreamed up the idea to host Run des Lacs 8K/5K and have the proceeds from the event go toward the next year's Music in the Park. Music in the Park is now in its 11th season and has had performers who were contestants on “The Voice” and “Star Search.” “It has been fun creating it, getting it going and watching it develop,” Lee said. Music has always been near and dear to Lee's heart, as he has been playing in bands on and off since he was 14. Back in the ’80s, he was trying to make a living playing in
“One of the city’s overarching goals for the past two years has been community outreach. As part of our effort to engage our community, we have made efforts to become a designated Purple Heart Community as well as a Yellow Ribbon City.” Mark Statz | City Administrator
T
his year's Fete des Lacs “Festival of Lakes” marks the 29th annual celebration in Centerville. While many popular attractions remain this year, some new attractions have been added to the docket. The celebration is sure to offer something for everybody with traditions such as Music in the Park, Public Safety Night, Bald Eagle Water Ski Show, kickball and softball tournaments, fi reworks, 8K/5K/Kids Run, Paddle des Lacs, KidsFest and the parade. In addition to Public Safety Night (from 6 to 8 p.m. July 17) staples including bike rodeo, K-9 unit demonstrations and Anoka County Emergency Management drone and fire trailer demonstrations, the event will also feature a new helmet safety booth put on by the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) and Cub Scout Pack 432. The booth will include free helmet fittings by a professional helmet fitter plus new, free helmets for kids of all ages. CLPD and Pack 432 will also host Bike with a Cop at 6 p.m. July 18, starting out at St. Genevieve Parish Community Center. New events this year include a medallion hunt; Gametruck, a unique mobile video gaming theater, from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday; Quad
Area Chamber of Commerce Business Expo from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday; and a classic car show presented by Cops n Rodders from 1-5 p.m. Saturday. A couple of businesses are stepping up to host new events too: Wholesome Health will sponsor a fitness obstacle course from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, and Rumble Motorsports will host a HiSun UTV test ride event from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. This year's theme is “Tribute to the Troops.” The Fete des Lacs committee came up with the idea because it wanted to demonstrate its support of deployed servicemen and servicewomen. “One of the city’s overarching goals for the past two years has been community outreach. As part of our effort to engage our community, we have made efforts to become a designated Purple Heart Community as well as a Yellow Ribbon City,” explained City Administrator/ Engineer Mark Statz. “We feel that reaching out to our veterans in the community, to support them in any way we can, is a great first step in our community outreach initiative. We thought that it might be fitting to highlight our troops this year with our parade and festival theme.” For a full schedule of events or more information, visit fetedeslacs.org/event-schedule/.
MEDALLION HUNT New this year is the Fete des Lacs 2019 Medallion Hunt. The city will offer three clues during the week of the Fete des Lacs Festival.
Here are the rules: • The medallion will be hidden in one of the city’s parks, within city limits. • The medallion will be hidden “in plain sight” — there is no need to dig or disassemble anything. • Clues will be read at the conclusion of events on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, during the festival, then released via the city’s Twitter and Facebook pages at noon the following day (@CentervilleMN). Tuesday – Music in the Park Wednesday – Public Safety Night Thursday – Bald Eagle Water Ski Show • Once found, take the medallion to City Hall to claim the $500 cash prize as soon as possible. City Hall is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. • City staff, elected officials, festival committee members and their immediate families are not eligible. • The medallion is yours to keep once you claim your cash prize.

“Certainly with our theme this year, we wanted to pick a veteran or active duty member of our military. Tom has a distinguished military career, which, in and of itself, could have qualified him to be our grand marshal. Tom has an impressive history of direct service to his community...For the past 10 years, Tom has, almost single-handedly, run the city’s Music in the Park program. Tom has lots of great connections to performers and is always able to get great talent to our shows. Off and on over the years, we’ve called upon Mr. Lee to line up a headliner act for the festival.” Mark Statz | City Administrator the band. At that point, he notes, the hard drug scene blew up. “I thought my band was immune to it, but one day I walked into the studio and my drummer was shooting up. I grabbed my gear, hung my guitar on the wall and it stayed there for 10 years.” In addition to establishing the city's Music in the Park program, Lee has pretty much served on “everything but the Planning and Zoning Commission,” including the Parks and Recreation Committee, the Police Governing Board, Fire Steering Committee, and Development Committee. He and his family also organized the Fete des Lacs parade for many years. Lee served in the U.S. Marines from 1981-1985. While in the military, Lee served three back-to-back deployments in Korea and a tour in Lebanon. When City Administrator Mark Statz called to see if Lee would serve as this year's grand marshal, Lee was pretty reluctant to say yes. “It's an honor, but I am a little uncomfortable with the recognition. It is not why I do what I do,” Lee explained. “I wasn't going to do it at fi rst because I felt a little odd about it, but how many times do you get the opportunity to do that? Probably once. There are a lot of other deserving people that should be recognized.” As grand marshal, Lee will ride in the Fete des Lacs parade at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 20.

t this year's Fete des Lacs celebration July 16-21 in Centerville, attendees will have the opportunity to win a handcrafted canoe paddle. Paddle des Lacs will be from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 21, at Trail Side Park on Centerville Lake. This year's event is hosted by the Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee, Bending Branches, Sandborn Canoe and the Wargo Nature Center. Paddle des Lacs will feature canoe, kayak and paddleboard races. Although the free event is set up in a racing format, people of all ages and fitness levels are welcome to attend. Sanborn Canoe Company and Bending Branches Paddle Company have donated handcrafted designer canoe paddles to be given out in a drawing to Paddle des Lacs participants. Sandborn Canoe Company, based out of Winona, donated two Minnewashta handcrafted, ultra-lightweight paddles. The Minnewashta paddle is made out of cedar and aspen wood for a lightweight, durable paddle. One of the paddles is specifically designed for youth paddlers. Bending Branches, based out of Osceola, Wisconsin, donated an Explorer Plus performance canoe paddle. The Explorer Plus is a longtime favorite, known for beat-me-up durability, for both wilderness tripping and flatwater paddling. “A longstanding objective of the Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee is to introduce city residents and neighbors to the many recreational opportunities offered in Centerville,” said Pat Branch, Paddle des Lacs coordinator. During the Paddle des Lacs event, the Wargo Nature Center will offer free voyager canoe rides to spectators, which is a great opportunity for families or friends who are not inclined to paddle their own boats but still want to get out on the water. The voyager canoe is a reproduction of a traditional canoe used by early French fur trappers. The canoe can hold up to 20 passengers; paddles and life jackets will be provided. Participants will be required to wear a life jacket, and children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. If you are interested in paddling but do not have your own boat, a kayak can be rented on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis from My Wahoo Adventures. Register at midwestevents.com to reserve a kayak or to reserve your spot on the voyager canoe.

Estimated Tax Rate
The plans were put forth by a 90-member 50 committee that met this winter. The facility planning committee of staff, parents and 45 community members came to a consensus on the plans this spring after discussing five options for high school and elementary 40 configuration to meet growing enrollment needs. The facilities planning was prompted 35 by the district’s recent strategic planning. The district projects that more than 2,000 new 30 students will enroll during the next 10 years due to housing growth. The growth will be 25% 25 higher than current capacity. The district has seen more than 7% growth since 2010. 20 “We are really focused on using existing square footage wherever possible,” Wald said. 15 The board discussed what would happen if the bond didn’t pass by voters. Wald said the 10 district would have to come up with a new plan to accommodate growing enrollment. 5 “If not now, we won’t be ready for the kids that are coming and building costs are not going to stay stagnant; they are going to go up,” said Board Member Ellen Fahey. “If not now, when?” The board appeared to be on board with the bond plans. “We feel good about it and I think you have indicated you do as well, so we are hopeful going into the fall that this will be really successful,” said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. The board was scheduled to vote on whether to include the bond referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot at its 7 p.m. July 15 meeting.
Year taxes are payable
WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA SCHOOLS | SUBMITTED
If the White Bear Lake Area Schools bond passed, the tax rate would increase from about 25 to 35% in 2020. It would be expected to be level through 2044. The chart below shows the expected tax increase on businesses and residents from a potential $326 million bond referendum.
UPDATE ON BOND REFERENDUM Board B d unanimously i l approves b bond d referendum f d question ti for f Nov. N 5 ballot b ll t The White Bear Lake Area School Board unanimously voted in favor of placing a bond referendum question to address building needs across the district on the November ballot at its July 15 meeting. The Nov. 5 referendum will request voter approval of bonds to fund the following construction projects that address building needs across the district: • District-wide additions and renovations to accommodate projected enrollment growth • Safety and security improvements and deferred maintenance projects at all district facilities • District-wide classroom and building updates to create flexible learning spaces Building-specific changes, which are primarily driven by enrollment growth and classroom needs, would include: • New K-5 elementary school being built in Hugo • Converting Oneka from grades 2-5 to a K-5 elementary and Hugo Elementary from grades K-1 to a northern Early Childhood location • The current grades 9-10 North Campus receiving an addition to become the district’s grade 9-12 high school • Sunrise Park Middle School moving to the current grades 11-12 South Campus location • The current Sunrise Park Middle School site becoming the site for various community programs including the Senior Center and Early Childhood programs currently housed at Normandy Park, the Transition Education
Center currently located in leased space in Hugo, and the district office • Central Middle School expanding to take over the current District Center building. “This comprehensive plan allows us to accommodate projected enrollment growth and provide safe, secure and healthy learning environments for all students through investments in our aging facilities and infrastructure,” said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. “It will allow us to increase opportunities for students through a single 9-12 high school experience and create flexibly-designed learning spaces to support all of our learners through student-centered instruction.” If approved by the community in November, the tax impact on the $326 million in bond funding would be $23 per month for the average homeowner. “It is critical that we address this now,” said Board Member Ellen Fahey. “If we put this off, we won’t be ready for the kids that are coming. Building costs are not going to stay stagnant, so waiting to address the problem will increase the price tag down the road.” More information about the planning process that led to the recommendation can be found at https://www. isd624.org/about/facilities-planning.
APOLLO 11 ANNIVERSARY: Remembering moon landing 50 years later FROM PAGE 1
Emert was one of approximately 600 million viewers who tuned into to watch Armstrong’s—and later Aldrin’s—moonwalk. “I remember the confusion created by CBS’s animation showing the (lunar module) landing before it actually did, and also Mr. Cronkite’s confusion about when exactly Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon because he said he was testing being able to get back up on the ladder.” Fifty years later, Emert is still fascinated by the moon and the cosmos. A member of the Minnesota Astrological Society, he’s leading the club’s efforts to build a full-size mock-up of the Apollo 11 landing site and the Lunar Module Eagle, which will be showcased at the Eagle Lake Observatory in Baylor Regional Park during the Astrological Society’s moon landing anniversary celebration July 20 and again Aug. 2-4. “While the (lunar module) didn’t have a lot of room inside for the astronauts, I’m beginning to realize that thing is huge on the outside,” Emert said. Roberta Weems, of Vadnais Heights, was 12 at the time of the moon landing. “It’s hard to remember if I watched it live on TV, and I
remember that or if I remember the replays from later,” she admitted. But, while she wishes she personally remembered more, she does, at least, recall her dad’s stories about his role in the Apollo missions. Weems’ father, Bob Oulicky, served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Thanks to all he learned about technology and engineering throughout the war, he later landed a job with Sperry-Univac (now known as Unisys). “He was a part of the team that developed the system that was used in the moon landing,” Weems said. Throughout the Apollo moon missions, NASA’s tracking stations used Univac computers to communicate with astronauts back on Earth. Like Emert, White Bear Lake resident Joann Thompson watched the moon landing unfold on CBS. She and her family were vacationing on Lake Michigan at the time. “I remember watching on a 13-inch, black and white TV with rabbit ear antenna. We set it up in the front upstairs bedroom facing Lake Michigan to try to get good reception across the water from Wisconsin,” she said. “Of course, by today’s standards, that reception wasn’t that good at all.”

Thompson said the astronauts’ excitement was palpable—and contagious. “We (my two sisters and I) all started jumping up and down once the landing had occurred,” she remembered. “I was thrilled as an almost 10-year-old.”

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its July 10 meeting: • Approved a listing agreement with Titus Commercial Real Estate (Mike Brass) for the property at 7073 Centerville Road. The agreement with Colliers International for that property expired, and Mike Brass will continue to represent the city on the sale of the property. The terms are the same as those in the Colliers agreement. Added to the new agreement is a clause defining how fees would be calculated should the sale of the property be used as a development incentive. • Conducted a review of the 2020 budget and continued discussion from the June 26 workshop. The anticipated $31,000 increase of 3.5% in the police budget was reduced to a 2.2% increase; the city budget will see a wage and step increase for union employees totaling $17,100; the fire contract will increase by $39,417; election expenses will increase by $9,000 and other increases will bring the total budget expenditure increases to $50,867. The debt service levy will decrease by $52,023. The city will see a Local Government Aid increase of $6,562. Overall, the net levy will be increased by $46,305. • Heard the Fete des Lacs report from Mayor Jeff Paar. The festival is scheduled for July 16-21. Donations have exceeded last year’s mark and are now more than $7,200. A new event this year will be the medallion hunt; the first clue will be read on Tuesday, July 16, at Music in the Park and each day after that. The finder of the medallion will win $500. To review information on all the events, such as the runs, softball tournament, parade or fireworks, visit the festival website at www.fetesdeslacs.org or the city website at www.centervillemn.com. • Heard the City Administrator/Engineer’s Report from Statz: - The Quad Area Chamber of Commerce will hold a Business Expo in LaMotte Park as part of Fete des Lacs on Saturday, July 20, from noon to 4 p.m. - City staff learned that the builder (TJB Homes) for the Waterworks Site/DeFoe property has canceled its purchase agreement with owner/developer (Richard DeFoe). This means that DeFoe must find another builder, but staff believes this can happen soon and that grading and road work can begin again soon. - City Attorney Kurt Glaser has started conversations with Alex’s Lawn and Turf LLC about a revised conditional use permit and issues surrounding the company’s compliance with its existing permit. Staff continues to receive complaints from residents about noise and vibration coming from the site, located south of Wiseguy’s Pizza adjacent to the city’s water tower. A group of citizens is drafting a complaint letter and has asked to address council at an upcoming meeting. - Outdoor lighting issues from the business at 7129 20th Ave. continue to plague a nearby resident. - Interior water tower inspection and cleaning will be scheduled for September. - The Parks & Recreation Committee has just one open seat left after Kathy Freiermuth joined the organization. The council next meets at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 24, at City Hall, 1880 Main St. Loretta Harding

On second thought... Downtown street and utility project postponed BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
CENTERVILLE — What a difference two weeks make. One meeting ago, on June 26, the Centerville City Council agreed to hurry up and at least try to begin the downtown street and utility improvement project in 2019. Two weeks later, at its July 10 meeting, the council stood down on the project and postponed the start of that work until 2020. Weather permitting, the project will start some six months later than council members first hoped, but at a more sedate pace. Although the dates have changed, the improvements and the streets impacted will remain the same. The project will install municipal water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, streets, curb and gutter and sidewalk improvements on downtown streets. Those streets include Centerville Road north of Main Street; Sorel Street west of
Goiffon Road to Progress Road; Progress Road from Main Street to Heritage Street; Goiffon Road from Sorel Street to Heritage Street; and Heritage Street from Centerville Road to the east of Progress Road. At the June 26 meeting, the council was presented an ambitious schedule for the project. However, following the receipt of feedback from contractors, consulting engineers and others with knowledge of the current bidding environment, City Engineer Mark Statz presented the council with a revised schedule. The revision resulted from indications that the city would be unable to find a contractor to work on the project for an affordable price during the fall of 2019, he said. According to the new schedule, work on downtown streets would begin during the spring of 2020, but various authorizations and bid advertising will begin this summer and continue through the fall. Council will have an opportuni-
ty to accept the project feasibility report at its Aug. 14 meeting. At the same meeting, council members may formally schedule the public improvement hearing for Sept. 11. At the Oct. 23 meeting, the council is scheduled to approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids. The council expects to receive bids by Dec. 4 and to award the contract to the successful bidder at the Dec. 11 meeting. Construction is expected to begin during spring 2020, be substantially complete by next fall and be entirely completed by the spring of 2021. Dates for the assessment hearing are yet to be determined. The schedule change was made primarily due to the formidable bidding climate, Statz said. At the June 26 meeting, council anticipated that bidding prospects might be poor, but went ahead to test the waters. Trying to sneak SEE PROJECT POSTPONED, PAGE 19
HUGO BITS & PIECES The Hugo City Council took the following action at its July 1 meeting:
• Presented the 2018 audit report. Jason Miller of Smith, Shafer & Associates said the city of Hugo once again had a “very clean audit” and received an unmodified opinion on its financial statements. “It is a well-run city from our perspective. It was a very easy audit to get through and there were no issues or concerns of note,” Miller said. He added the city of Hugo is “by far one of the cleanest cities we audit.” City Administrator Bryan Bear said the full audit report is available on the city’s website. • Recognized former Oneka Elementary School Principal Teresa Dahlem for her many years of service to the school and community. “I had two children go through your school. You were always an accessible and present principal,” said Mayor Tom Weidt. “You were always very involved in the city and visible at all of the community events. You were a valuable member of the community and it is going to be a loss not having you around. You have left an imprint on Hugo.” Councilman Chuck Haas said, “You were the first principal of that new school and created a great atmosphere. You created a wonderful environment for the kids.” Councilman Phil Klein said, “You are going to be missed. I hope you stay close by.” Councilwoman Becky Petryck added, “You are always positive. No matter what the situation is, you put the best spin on everything. I have never seen someone walk away from you without a smile on their face.” Dahlem thanked council members for their kind words and said one of the reasons why she stayed at Oneka for so long was because she felt welcome by the City Council and staff. “I couldn’t have done what I did without what you and the parents have done,” she said. “I am very proud of the time I spent there and the community we built within the school system. I will miss it tremendously.” • Approved the resignation of Jennifer Wilson from the EDA. Wilson served as an alternate member of the EDA since October but recently moved outside of city limits. • Approved a special event permit for the Wilson Tool company picnic Aug. 10 at Hanifl Shelter and Fields. The council also approved a temporary liquor license so the Hugo Lions Club may serve beer and wine coolers at the event. • Approved a variance for 6900 170th Street North. Resident Pamela Oman requested a variance from the Shoreland District setback requirements for a proposed house addition. The variance will allow a house addition to be set back 80 feet from the ordinary high-water mark of Horseshoe Lake, where 200 feet is required in the Shoreland District per City Code.
SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
The Hugo City Council recognized former Oneka Elementary School Principal Teresa Dahlem for her many years of service to the school and community at its July 1 meeting. Dahlem’s fan club attended the meeting with handmade signs that read “Thank you” and “Our community is better because you are in it.”
• Approved a reduction in letter of credit and cash escrow for Oneka Place. Oneka Place has had significant work completed to date, and the developer is requesting a reduction in the letter of credit and cash escrow. The current credit and cash escrow is about $1.73 million. City staff inspected the work completed to date and recommended reducing the letter of credit and cash escrow by approximately $214,00 and $318,000, respectively, based on the value of the work remaining to be completed. The remaining value of the combined letter of credit and the cash escrow will be about $1.2 million. • Approved a reduction in letter of credit for the Preserve at Sunset Lake south of 125th Street. The development has seen significant work completed to date, and the developer has requested a reduction in the letter of credit. The current letter of credit is in the amount of $320,000. City staff inspected the work completed to date and recommended reducing the letter of credit by $256,728. The remaining value of the letter of credit will be $63,724, which is 10% of the original value. • Heard an update on the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network from Haas. Haas said the network recently received $5,000 from the White Bear Lions, $400 from the St. Louis Park American Legion, $404 from the women of New Life Church and $200 from the White Bear Lake American Legion. Councilman Phil Klein informed the public that Hamburger Night will now be held the fourth Tuesday of the month, instead of Wednesday, to accommodate The Post restaurant. The next Hamburger Night will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 23. Shannon Granholm

The Johnson group at Grandma’s Marathon included (from left) Jeff Firkus, Mitch Osterholt, Grace Johnson, Jason Johnson, Clark Johnson and Calhoun Gerber. BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Three members of the Johnson family, including a cross country captain, were among the Quad News area runners at Grandma’s Marathon on June 22. Grace Johnson, 17, covered the 26.2 miles from Two Harbors in Duluth in four hours, 39 minutes, 32 seconds, then waited for her dad, Jason, 44, and brother, Clark, 20, who fi nished in 5:02:26 and 5:02:55, respectively. “There were actually six of us,” said Grace Johnson, Centennial senior-to-be. “Our buddy Calhoun Gerber came along, and two friends of my dad, Jeff Firkus and Mitch
Osterholt. And we had lots of extended family there cheering us on.” Gerber, a Circle Pines resident like the Johnsons, ran with Jason and Clark Johnson most of the way, and fi nished in 5:02:48. Firkus, of Marine on St. Croix, fi nished in 3:35:25. Osterholt, of Maplewood, fi nished in 3:39:37. The Johnson delegation in Duluth totaled 27 people, including the runners. This was the fourth marathon for Jason, and the fi rst for Grace and Clark, who did a halfmarathon together last year. The group effort was the idea of a fourth Johnson who wound up not being able to run with them. “My sister Claire is the one

who was really excited about us doing this,” Grace said. “But she had to have surgery.” Claire, a junior-to-be who’s a Cougar runner and basketball player like Grace, needed surgery for a congenital problem with bones in her feet, so she’ll be sidelined for a while. Grace, a three-time state qualifier in cross country, said she made sure not to over-do it in her fi rst marathon, not with cross country coming up. “I was a little sore, but I’m taking two weeks off before captains’ practices,” she said.

Postural restoration: Unique approach to physical therapy BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
A new company in Centerville hopes to help its clients recover quickly from injuries while also preventing unnecessary pain medications, injections and surgeries. Resonance Physiotherapy & Sports Performance has been around for one year, but recently moved into a space at Kettlebell Gym, 6845 20th Ave. S, Centerville. The company’s founder, Lino Lakes resident Tom Tardif, is originally from Maine. He moved to Minnesota 5 1/2 years ago with his wife, Alyssa. Tardiff has always been fascinated by the anatomy of the human body and became interested in pursuing a career in physical therapy after experiencing sport injuries himself and watching others heal from injuries. “I have always been interested in how the body works,” he explained. Tardiff now has a bachelor’s degree in medical biology and a doctorate in physical therapy. He is also certified in strength and conditioning, integrative dry needling and postural restoration. After working at several places — including a critical access hospital in Long Prairie, Impact Physical Medicine in St. Paul and, most recently, Summit Orthopedics in Woodbury and Vadnais Heights — Tardiff decided it was time to begin his own practice. “The quality of care is slowly declining, so I wanted to branch off. The specialty stuff I do was frowned upon at other places,” he said. “In large systems, (the patient is) looked at as a body part, a knee or a shoulder, instead of seeing you as a whole person and getting to know you as a person.” That’s where postural restoration comes in. The human body is asymmetrical. The neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular and vision systems are not the same on the left side of the body as they are on the right. Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) credentialed professionals like Dr. Tardif recognize imbalances and typical patterns associated with system disuse or weakness that develops because of dominant overuse. This dominant overuse of one side of the body (typically the right) can develop from other system unilateral overuse. For example, if the left smaller diaphragm is not held accountable for respiration as the right is, the body can become twisted. “We are looking at the body as a whole system. Injuries, surgeries and emotional things all add up. Sometimes things come up that don’t allow you to move the way you should be moving,” Tardiff explained. “When you start to have asymmetries out of movement, it can lead to a number of symptoms: back pain, TMJ, joint pain, neck pain, flat feet, high arches.”
Tom Tardiff, owner of Resonance Physiotherapy & Sports Performance in Centerville, has been working with his patient Kristi Abbott for around two months. Here, they are trying to improve the ability of Abbott’s left abdominals to keep her left ribs and pelvis together while she inhales in order to use her left diaphragm more efficiently. Across the nation, there are only about 200 PRI certified professionals. In the Twin Cities, that number is closer to 18. The goal is to get the body into its neutral, centered state that offers freedom of movement. “I am giving lifestyle changes to prevent further injury and I am treating root causes, I am not just treating symptoms,” Tardiff explained. “I want to prevent people from getting on pain meds and prevent unnecessary surgeries. People get surgeries they didn’t even need just because they went to a doctor and they wanted a quick fi x. They get it done and it was the worst decision because they are worse afterwards.” Tardiff also wants to prevent costly injections, which he calls “expensive Band-Aids.” Resonance Physiotherapy also does postural vision integration. A combination of postural restoration and PRI vision concepts and optometry can reduce the sympathetic nervous system, often referred to as “fight or flight” activity. This process can help reduce muscle tension and headaches, allow for neck and other normal joint motion, improve balance and mobility and reduce or eliminate dizziness and many other symptoms. The company also does custom postural foot orthotics, which are designed to assist in neural/postural
neutrality. The foot supports are placed in shoes to help feet and ankles move as they should. This increases the overall freedom of movement for improved walking mechanics. Vadnais Heights resident Kristi Abbott has been going to Resonance Physiotherapy for a couple of months. “Apparently I’ve learned some bad habits over the years, so I came here to try to correct them,” she said. “I mainly started coming here because I was having numbness in my feet and my hands, so I wanted to see if I could do something to correct some of that without jumping right into surgery (which was recommended by her doctor).” Abbott typically attends one-hour sessions once a week to work on getting the muscles on the left side of her body to do more, while getting the muscles on her right side of the body to do less. She has already noticed that she has less numbness in both her feet and hands.

PROJECT POSTPONED: Due to high bids FROM PAGE 17
a bid in at the tail end of the construction season turned out to be financially difficult. In general, bids are now coming in at 20% to 30% higher than they would have before the construction season began. Prices are a lot higher because there is a lot of construction work to be done out there right now and not enough people to do it, Statz said. There is also a shortage of skill trades and labor, he added. January or February would be the right time frame in which to
solicit bids, Statz said. In addition, city staff members have complex assessment questions to answer. The project involves four zoning areas that are slated to be assessed: residential, institutional (churches and schools), commercial and vacant properties. “We need more time to make sure we treat people fairly,” Statz said. The city has time to wait without fear of losing any grant money involved with the project, Statz noted. The city recently learned it was awarded a $210,000 grant through the Community Development Block
Grant Program. Funds from this grant will pay the full cost of connecting residences to city water for income-qualifying households in both the downtown area and others around the community. Grant monies the city expects to receive for the water portion of the project will still be available 18 months after the city receives the funds. The city has yet to receive the funding, Statz said. “We’re not losing anything by delaying,” Statz said. “We have all of next year.”
CITY OF HUGO CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING The Hugo City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, August 5, 2019, at approximately 7:00 pm at Hugo City Hall to consider the easement vacation application from Hugo Ventures, LLC, 14505 43rd Ave N, Plymouth, MN 55446, for vacation of the existing drainage and utility easements lying over Outlot A, Waters Edge 3rd Addition, Washington County, MN. The proper drainage and utility easements will be dedicated with the final plat for Water’s Edge 6th Addition. There are no changes being made to the existing drainage or stormwater management and no impacts to the existing wetlands for the development. Anyone wishing to comment can be heard at this time.

Expand living spaces with clever ideas Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable. A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining. While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well.

These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter. Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space. Create a relaxing nook Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat.
Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer.

“IN THE AISLES” (NR) [SUBTITLED] [PLAYS AT MSP FILM SOCIETY AT ST. ANTHONY MAIN THEATRE.] — A quirky, well-acted, slow-moving, unpredictable, 125-minute, 2018 film in which a quiet, bus-riding, tattooed German stock handler (Franz Rogowski) at a grocery warehouse is taken under the wing of a kindhearted coworker (Peter Kurth) to learn the ropes and to run a forklift and quickly becomes smitten with a flirtatious, blonde coworker (Sandra Hüller) who is married to an abusive husband.
“THE LION KING” (PG) [SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AND PERIL, AND SOME THEMATIC ELEMENTS.] — Astounding realistic animals and wonderful, nostalgic music dominate this heartbreaking, heartwarming, highly entertaining, humorous, intense, familyoriented, 3D, star-dotted (voiceovers by Amy Sedaris, Keegan-Michael Key, John Oliver, John Kani, JD McCrary, and Shahadi Wright Joseph), 118-minute, live-action Disney remake of the 1994 classic animated musical in which a sad, guilt-ridden lion cub (voiceover by Donald Glover) runs away from his lioness mother (voiceover by Alfre Woodard) and the pride after the tragic death of his majestic father (voiceover by James Earl Jones) and eventually returns to the pride with two sidekicks, a warthog (voiceover by Seth Rogen) and a cheeky meerkat (voiceover by Billy Eichner), when his childhood best friend (voiceover by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter) comes in search of help because the cruel, power-hungry king (voiceover by Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the hyenas have decimated the pride lands after killing his brother.

It really heated up this past week and along with the heat came the humidity. Sunday many thermometers topped off at 90º and if not for a nice breeze, it was a tough day for outdoor strenuous work. A day better spent relaxing or visiting your favorite lake. Even mowing the lawn I worked up a pretty good sweat. Thunderstorms ranged across the Twinplex and state on Sunday, some turning severe. I only experienced some wind and light rain totals while others totaled more. It was a nice lightning show to the south and northeast on Sunday night. The jet stream is riding high into Canada so we’ll continue to be hot and humid with slow-moving storms. Garden Note: I’m picking raspberries like crazy. I’ve picked a few wild blueberries during my trail running and it looks like they’re still a week away from ready.
