Fourth-grade students from Paula Andrzejewski’s class through the Odyssey program at Rice Lake Elementary recently built and installed informational signs at the Rice Lake Nature Area.

The Odyssey program is a school within a school at Rice Lake Elementary, specifically for gifted and talented students. Since the school opened, students have been involved as stewards of the Rice Lake Nature Area. They have previously built, installed and monitored 18 bluebird boxes; erected a

nest platform; monitored and help band osprey chicks; planted and maintained three rain gardens.

This year’s project included researching, writing and erecting 10 nature signs. The students took nature walks and then researched unique nature features of their school yard. The signs will help educate children and adults with facts and photos for the grounds and ecosystems. In July, the students would like to work with Audubon to band the osprey chicks. Data is collected and shared about the success of the recovery of the osprey in our area and Minnesota through the records kept of adult and young birds.

No run-around: Blues Traveler to rock Running Aces

By Michelle Miron Editor Running Aces in Columbus will host its first outdoor concert ever when Blues Traveler performs at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 16. Tickets run from $22 for general admission to $100 for reserved seating and a VIP meet and greet. The rain-orshine event commemorates the 22nd-year anniversary of when Blues Traveler last performed at the Trout Air Amphitheatre which formerly occupied the property. The opening band is MissBehavin'. Tickets can be purchased at runningaces.com or 651-925-4600 ext. 0.

According to Rolling Stone magazine, Blues Traveler band

members met in high school in Princeton, New Jersey and in the early 1990s became “part of a new vanguard of jam bands in the tradition of the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers.

Early on, the band's reputation was built on relentless touring, marathon sets and the explosive harmonica solos of frontman John Popper.” The band signed with A&M in 1989 and released albums including “Blues Traveler” and “Travelers & Thieves, “Save His Soul” and “Four.”

The band's momentum was slowed in 1992 when Popper was injured in a motorcycle accident, but it soon returned to the road with Popper performing in a wheelchair. Original band member Bobby Sheehan died of a drug overdose in 1999.

– Submitted photo

The band Blues Traveler will be performing at Running Aces July 16.

Since then Blues Traveler has released the album “25” via HipO Records, and “Blow Up the Moon” came out last April.

The band is perhaps best known for singles “Run-

Around” (1995) and “Hook” (1995). "Run-Around" earned the band a Grammy in 1995 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Read more at www.rollingstone.com.

Opinion Exchange student is unexpected motivator We’ll have no privacy, SEIZE THE I grumbled. We’ll have to DAY rearrange our schedules, and we’ll wear ourselves out trying to negate the stereotype of the Couch Potato American.

In spite of my curmudgeonly attitude, hosting a 16-year-old exchange student from Eastern Bloc country Belarus for two MICHELLE MIRON weeks has been a real eyeopener and a just-plain-fun experience with unforeseen perks. Aleh (pronounced Ah-LAKE) comes to us through a program called Worldlink Inc. for students from the Eurasian counties that don’t allow year-long academic exchange programs.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, its goal is “for Americans to learn more about their culture and lifestyle” and “for them to be exposed to the ‘real America.’”

I thought maybe Aleh would be humorless, difficult to entertain and condescending about the shall-wesay-less-praiseworthy aspects of American culture. Turns out he’s a true diplomat with a great sense of humor who embraces experience and is willing to try most anything once (disclaimer: he regrets the Aleh sweet potatoes and Flaming Hot Cheetos and is not crazy about corn on the cob, donuts or Mexican food).

Aleh is also crazy bright and self-motivated. His primary language is Russian, but his grandparents taught him Belarusian and Polish. Because he’s driven to improve himself, he’s gone on to learn English, German and French on his own. Without bragging, he explained he studies books about other languages then practices out loud during daily 10-mile walks around his home city of Polotsk, where he lives in a flat with his parents and pet cat. (Here’s where I struggle not to think about how I dropped Spanish in eighth grade, spend my spare time watching Netflix and mostly avoid my treadmill).

During the school year, Aleh’s Saturdays are spent in optional extra lesson time at school or competing in olympiads in history and English. He’s already participated in student exchange programs in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Germany, Hungary and Bulgaria and traveled with his family to Russia, Italy and elsewhere. Nevertheless, he’s humble about his accomplishments and confided he “feels stupid a lot” when trying to learn. The president of his 600-student school hopes after graduation to attend college in Poland to become an economist.

On the flip side, Aleh is similar to American teenagers in that he dinks around on his Smartphone and the Internet, watches Western-culture TV and movies, plays sports, rolls his eyes over drama by female classmates and highly values time with friends. Even the social structure at his school sounds American; he noted classmates aren’t always friendly to each other, they often gossip and some value looks too highly.

Because he lives under a regime that’s been called “the last dictatorship in Europe,” Aleh is smart enough not to opine on the Belarusian government. But website sources describe what it’s like to live there.

Aleh’s parents must have done a phenomenal job raising him. Rather than letting it deter him that most people worldwide enjoy vastly more freedom, he chooses to focus on learning as much as he can, embracing experience, meeting people and improving himself to the fullest capacity possible.

Talking to Aleh makes me want to step up to the plate and do more with my time here on earth.

The Amazing Aleh goes home by mid-month, but we hope to keep in close touch with him via Facebook, letters and emails.

Over the next decade, we would not be at all surprised to read about Aleh in the media helping solve world hunger, curing cancer, helping fix his country’s economy or otherwise making great strides.

Just remember the little people who introduced you to bacon, karaoke, the water balloon slingshot and Nelson’s Ice Cream, Aleh.

— Michelle Miron is a stereotypical American who likes Cheetos, speaks only English and Pig Latin and is lazy outside of work.

Breathing better in our homes There is a myth, perpetuated by homeowners and industry professionals alike, that kitchen ventilation is an unnecessary expense – especially if you have an electric cooking surface. This myth couldn’t be farther from the truth. The process of cooking food releases unwanted moisture that can harm your cabinets, walls, windows, and attic. It results in the creation of smoke, fine particles and toxins that can irritate lungs and cause breathing problems – especially in infants, children, elderly, pets, and immunecompromised people. Cooking with natural gas and propane can release carbon monoxide and other pollutants.

Fast moving air from a hot pan does not move in a vertical column but fans forward, backward, and sideways as it moves upward. Three options exist to capture this air and all the unwanted stuff.

Under cabinet and wall mounted range hoods are the most effective options because they use the wall to help guide air into the hood.

Island range hoods are not as effective since there is no wall to help direct air. The least effective third option

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

CINDY OJCZYK for is the downdraft system.

At a minimum a range hood should be as wide and as deep as the cooking surface below. For even better results, use a hood that is 6” (inches) wider than the cooking surface and centered above the elements.

Most hoods are mounted with a distance of 24” to 36”.

Raising the hood higher will make the system less effective. Lowering the hood can make it hard to reach into tall pots. Read product warranties to ensure your installation is covered in the event of a problem.

Ventilation fan speed is measured by “cfm” or cubic feet per minute. To truly understand what this means imagine a basketball representing a cube of air (it’s almost that size). A 300 cfm

system removes roughly 300 basketballs of air from the kitchen every minute – along with heat, toxins, moisture and odors. A growing number of exhaust systems are rated 600 cfm to 900 cfm. These are commonly found with many modern ranges, downdraft systems and island hoods. These fans will remove 600 to 900 basketballs of air from the kitchen every minute. All of the air will be removed from the average sized kitchen in under 5 minutes. To equalize the loss, air will be drawn into the kitchen from other parts of the house.

Many kitchen ventilation systems in today’s homes should consist of 2 parts: 1) the ventilation system that removes bad air and 2) the make-up air system that brings fresh air into the home to replace the air removed. This is part of the building code in many cities. It is a safety measure to prevent ventilation systems from causing carbon monoxide problems with gas/ propane furnaces, water heaters, and clothes dryers.

Check with your city and get informed before choosing your ventilation system. A make-up air system will im-

pact budget and may impact kitchen design.

Always have the duct work exhaust the moistureladen air through rigid metal ducts to the outside.

Ducts going through attics should be insulated. When at all possible, avoid “recirculating” fans that vent air back into the home. While a filter can trap some grease and odors, it won’t stop heat, moisture, and cooking toxins from being released into your home.

A ventilation system can’t help your health and home unless you allow it to do so. Turn it on when cooking. Clean grease filters and change charcoal filters as directed by the manufacturer. Get informed so you can speak confidently with the professionals you hire. This will ensure your ventilation system will help you breathe better in your home while protecting your home investment.

Your legal rights: you may be eligible for a refund on certain prescription drugs The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office—along with other state attorneys general and the federal government—reached settlements with three large drug companies: Abbott Laboratories, Wyeth, and GlaxoSmithKline.

Outof-pocket expenses may include co-pays or amounts that individuals paid because they had no insurance, or costs their insurance carrier did not pay.

Abbott Laboratories Settlement The drug Depakote was FDA-approved to treat seizure disorders, mania associated with bipolar disorder, and prophylaxis of migraines. Individuals may be eligible for a refund if they received a prescription from January, 2001 to May, 2012 for Depakote to treat conditions other than those approved by the FDA, including but not limited to, treatment for depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcohol and drug withdrawal, conduct disorders, attention deficit disorder, autism, agitation associated with dementia, and as combination therapy with antipsychotic medications
