Mom hopes to inspire other moms to stay fit

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER

One mom is hoping her weight loss journey will inspire others to stick with it and become healthier and stay fit.

Stacy Reichert, of Ham Lake, works as a CNA supervisor at the HealthPartners Clinic in Lino Lakes. In April of 2011 she decided to join Moms on the Run in hopes to lose some weight after having her second child. Little did she know that by joining the organization not only would she lose weight and feel better, but she would also find a support system.

“This program has completely changed my life.

The people that you meet are so positive,” she said. “If you come to class and you are down about something, they can usually sense it and they try to cheer you up.”

Moms on the Run is a structured fitness program for women of all ages (not only moms) and fitness levels who want to get in shape and have fun doing it. The organization focuses on interval training SUBMITTED

Local man provides tutoring for underprivileged youth

District receives four 'Awards of excellence'

BY JOLENE FRID CONTRIBUTING WRITER

LINO LAKES — Resident and local business owner Bob Kohl’s passion lies in social justice issues.

That’s why he and his wife, Pat, have given time and resources to provide tutoring services to youth in the St. Paul area.

The Bob’s Auto Ranch owner has had a passion for community and helping those less fortunate for most of his life and has been involved in many community organizations throughout the years, including activism for the GLBTQ community.

The tutoring service he leads, housed in a former church building at 441 Rice St. in St. Paul, provides academic support and encouragement for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Kohl says the service provides more than just tutoring, and finds ways to meet needs for students in general.

The service is powered mainly by personal funds from Kohl, who sees it as an opportunity to help youth graduate who may not otherwise have completed high school. Donors have donated cars to Kohl’s business, which he’s able to then sell for cash to fund the program.

Tutoring is open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dinner is always SEE LOCAL MAN, PAGE 3

Flags on the Centennial Middle School campus are another aspect the district received the award in marketing/branding.

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM STAFF WRITER

CIRCLE PINES- The Centennial School District is among 83 districts that received Awards of Excellence from the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA). In fact, in three of the four categories Centennial won awards in, it was the only district in the state to be recognized.

Publications that received Awards of Excellence were on display at the NSPRA National Seminar July 17-20 in Chicago. Centennial received awards for its recruiting brochure for new families, its annual report, The Observer, and for overall branding/ marketing such as signs on the exterior of buildings and window clings on cars and in local businesses.

“It is really gratifying and a reflection of the good work that all of our people are doing around here in the district and our communities,” said

g ancin w n i F “0% e on Ne bl Availa ipment” Equ

Superintendent Brian Dietz. “We put a lot of time and energy into this effort to really go out and tell our story, and this is the first time that any of our work has actually even been put into the queue for evaluation for this type of award.”

Eighty-three publications out of 581 entries received Awards of Excellence.

The NSPRA is a non-profit association founded in 1935. The organization provides school communication training, products and services to school leaders throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity Schools worldwide. According to the NSPRA's website, its mission is “to advance education through responsible public relations and communication that leads to success for all students.”

Above: The Annual Report for the 201516 school year. The Annual Report was another publication the district was recognized for. The report is designed to sum up the district in a nutshell for those who may not know much about the district.

The Observer is a quarterly newsletter publication to tell of the district’s happenings.

make information readily available, and second you have to bring it to the consumers, you can't expect them to come to you,” Dietz said. “We have really focused on those two pieces, knowing that by doing that we are making a better informed community and it builds pride.”

Dietz added that the award is not just for the district, but rather the whole community which he said is very supportive to the district.

“This is not just an award for Centennial, it is an award for everybody.

We want to make sure we acknowledge all the good, hard work that is going on each and every day,” he said.

Krista Bergert, director of public information and community outreach, said, “It is not only pride from within the schools, but that sense of pride in the community and how the district has really helped pull the five communities together.”

The annual report is designed for someone who knows very little about a district and gives information about enrollment, test scores, financial statements, accomplishments, partnerships and what students are doing both inside and outside of the classroom.

The Observer is a quarterly newsletter publication that was redesigned three years ago. All of the publications are designed to be an easy, quick and informative read. The publications give a “at a glance” view of the district.

“All of this is very intentional so that people can feel like Centennial is a part of their lives,” said Bergert. “It goes back to that sense of pride. We want our campus to be inviting, we want people to pick up and read them (publications) and not throw them away or set them aside.

People are busy; even if you just skim it or read the captions...it is designed so even busy people know what is going on in the district.”

Dietz added, “They open up the lines of communication. It is important that we are sharing what is going on so that our community has a sense of transparency and we can build trust with them.”

Going forward the district plans to keep doing what it is doing and to continually look for ways to make the publications and marketing/branding efforts even better.

“The way you get better is you ask questions, you get feedback, you listen and you respond to those needs to make the situation better,” Dietz said. “This really encourages that the models and structures we have in place are working, and to really keep the course and keep doing what we are doing. We continually make this district better each and every day.”

American Pickers to film in Minnesota this August

Bob and Pat Kohl have been providing tutoring services for underprivileged youth Monday through Wednesday evenings at 441 Rice St. in St. Paul for over 16 years. Volunteer tutors are always needed.

Now in its sixth year of filming, the History Channel reality television show “American Pickers” has plans to film in Minnesota this August. The show recently announced an open call for any Minnesota resident to submit their collection for consideration.

The show features two hosts, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fitz, who travel around the country looking for valuable antique treasures hidden among many “junk” items that people have accumulated over the years.

Currently, the show is on the hunt for Minnesotans who may have large and unique collections to share on national television. The show often seeks items such as motor scooters and other unique vehicles, furniture, early electronics (television sets, radios, telephones), old toys, fishing items, antique artwork, bicycles, cap and BB guns and many other items.

An “American Pickers” staff member said that the film crew has not yet selected specific locations or dates for filming, since those choices rely on the responses they receive.

If you are interested in suggesting your collection to be featured on the show, contact the show by email at americanpickers@cineflix.com, or leave a voicemail at 1-800-OLD-RUST with your name, town, state, phone number, location of the collection and a description of your items. The show does not accept collections from flea markets or retail shops.

Of whales and wolves

I

recently had the opportunity to travel to the San Juan Islands in northern Washington state, where I sailed for a week with a group of researchers to learn as much as possible about the area. The group of islands is well known for its population of resident orca whales, which can be observed passing by many of the islands. Eager to spy the whales ourselves, we took a bus from the marina on San Juan Island to Lime Kiln Point State Park, where there is a whale watching station housed inside a historic lighthouse on a cliff facing the ocean. One of the volunteers inside told us orca sightings have drastically decreased this Getting year as compared to years past.

“People come out and see the in Tune whales and it’s such a magical Jackie Bussjaeger experience, but that’s not where it ends,” she said. Visitors don’t realize d li one of the things that makes these encounters so special is their rarity, and the rarity comes from the fact that the whales have been heavily impacted by the way humans treat our shared environment. The slowing in sightings is most likely due to a shortage of Chinook salmon, one of the whales’ main sources of food. The salmon population has taken a heavy hit after four dams were erected on the Snake River, which the fish have traveled up for years as part of their biological cycle.

We had the extraordinary good luck to catch sight of a pod of whaleswhile out sailing a few days later, but when I returned home to Minnesota, I again found the issue of human interference with natural ecosystems waiting for me. I attended a presentation by Mike Link and Kate Crowley at the Wildlife Science Center (WSC) in Columbus. The pair are naturalists and educators, and they recently published several books to bring awareness to the threat to our water quality, and its effects on water quality throughout the nation. Guests were drawn by the promise of a close encounter with the center’s adorable new litter of wolf pups, but as both WSC Director Peggy Callahan and the whale watch volunteer earlier pointed out, it is easy for people to pay attention to the cute, beautiful and awe-inspiring elements of the natural world while ignoring the ecosystems that support their wellbeing. People are nature tourists—they want to see the best parts of nature and pretend that the uglier parts— especially the ones caused by people—don’t exist.

It is important for people to recognize that humans have been extraordinarily detrimental to many aspects of our environment, and think about the ways this impact can be handled on a local level. In Washington, they have several efforts to remove some of the dams that are causing the salmon food shortage problem.

Donating to the Wildlife Science Center will support the research that aimed at getting endangered species such as Mexican gray wolves back into a sustainable wild population.

If you enjoy nature, the best thing you can do is educate yourself about the impact humans have had on your favorite natural areas, or an animal species that is special to you. Don’t treat something special—such as a firsthand encounter with a killer whale, or a sunrise on the St. Croix River—as clickbait for your Instagram. Find out the other factors at work in the places you hold dear—and see what you can do to help.

The secret of red sumac

G

rowing up in Minnesota, sumac was everywhere, in people’s yards and on the hillsides. The red berries added color to the landscape and its leaves were the fi rst harbinger of fall, turning bright red. The best hiding spots for hide and seek were under the sumac branches. But that was about as much thought as I ever gave this roadside bush until I heard the wonGardener’s about derful benefits Grapevine and uses for the berries. Sumac is now one of Nancy Helm my favorite wild edibles.

Sumac extract tastes slightly sour, something like a lemon. The beautiful blush color of rose wine and the citrus-like flavor make it the perfect starter for a summer refresher high in vitamin C, sumac-ade. It is one of the easiest beverages to make.

Start by harvesting the berries.

There is almost certainly a bush growing near you. The shrub can grow into a small tree as tall as ten feet. Sumac with white berries is poisonous, so be certain you only use one of the many varieties of red sumac.

They are easily identifiable.

There will be red cones of tight berries pointing skyward that are fuzzy to the touch, called drupes

Sumac is now one of my favorite wild edibles. or sumac bobs. A hand pruner will easily remove them. Gather as soon as the berries turn red, usually late summer. As with all fruiting trees and shrubs, harvesting the berries will not harm the shrub.

If left on the bush too long, or after a heavy rain, they lose their flavor. The tangy flavor comes from water-soluble crystals that cover the berries. Rain will wash them off over time. Do not wash the berry cones after you harvest them. Simply submerge them in a bowl or jar of water. Swish them vigorously and allow them to soak at least 15-30 minutes.

Strain the liquid through a very fine sieve, a coffee fi lter, or several layers of cheesecloth. Sweeten to taste, serve chilled, and enjoy.

The flavor is somewhere between lemonade and cranberry juice with a lovely pink color. Six

heads of berries makes a nice pitcher of sumac-ade. It may take a bit of experimenting to get the correct amount of fruit to use but it can always be tamed down by adding more water. The unsweetened extract can be frozen in ice cube trays and used all year long, wherever you would use lemon in sauces or marinades. This is an especially good substitute if you suffer from citrus allergies.

You can also make hot sumac tea. Simply cover berry cones with boiling water and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. Sweeten to taste with honey. Refrigerate the rest for later. The same process can be done with simple syrup rather than water. The resulting syrup is delicious as part of a cocktail with club soda and vodka.

The sumac bush may look like just another roadside shrub to many, but now you know the secret. Begin foraging and enjoy one of nature’s prolific bounties.

After 5 years off watching her own kids play, Jill Becken will return to Cougar helm

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Jill Becken, who coached Centennial girls basketball to four state trips in nine years before resigning to watch her three kids play, will return to the Cougars helm this coming season.

“I have missed the interaction with the young athletes on the basketball court,” reflected Becken, who had a 208-48 record with CHS and a state runner-up finish in 2009, after coaching Forest Lake for eight years with a 115-70 record and one state trip.

That’s 323 total wins and five state trips in 17 seasons.

Becken had not intended to return when she stepped down after the 2010-11 season, but “thought about it quite a bit” when the position opened up again. She decided: “I had enjoyed coaching and working for Mr. Hegseth in the past so I thought the time was right to

jump back in.”

Brian Hegseth, activities director, said the school was “very pleased and surprised to have Jill interested in coming back to lead the program again.”

Greg Amundsen coached the Cougars the last five years and continued their success with four 20-win seasons, two state trips and a 98-44 overall record (14-13 last year). He left to take a coaching position at Maranatha Christian. Amundsen had been a coaching legend in North Dakota, with nine state championships at Mandan.

“Coach Amundson did a nice job with the program while I was away, and it is in excellent shape,” Becken noted. “The cupboard is definitely not bare, and my coaching staff and I are hoping we can continue the strong basketball tradition at CHS.” Becken’s return to coaching coincides with her exit from

teaching. A math teacher for 31 years, she retired last spring.

Becken was Jill Lewis when she played basketball and tennis at Willmar High School and basketball at Minnesota-Morris.

Her father, Mel Lewis, was football and basketball coach at Willmar Community College and basketball coach at MinnesotaMorris.

Becken’s husband, Pete, also played basketball for Willmar and Minnesota-Morris. They have three very athletic children.

She was able to watch her girls play tennis for strong Cougar teams but regretted missing most of their basketball games along with her son’s.

“I took five years off for three important reasons: Dan, Kayla and Emily,” said Becken.

Emily, at the time, was entering her senior year of college basketball at Northern State in Aberdeen, South Dakota, where she was a three-year

starter at guard and scored over 1,000 points, after making allconference twice at Centennial and the Pioneer Press all-metro defensive team.

Kayla, who scored 1,338 points for Centennial, 36 of them in the 2009 state tourney, was just entering North Dakota State, where she became a starting guard as a sophomore and junior before skipping her last season due to concussion issues.

Dan had two years left at Centennial at the time. Jill had seldom seen him play, as boys and girls games are usually on the same day.

So, with her winters finally open, Becken was finally able to watch all three play as much as she wanted, journeying with Pete to Aberdeen and Fargo and other college towns for the girls while rooting for the Cougar boys in Dan’s last two years.

Dan, a 6-foot-7 forward, has two seasons left at Wisconsin-

“I think I can juggle coaching and watching our son play,” said Becken.

Centennial VFW is state-bound after winning grueling District 7 The Centennial VFW baseball team lived up to its billing as the top seed in probably the toughest district in the state, and now sets its sites on the ultimate prize.

The Cougars emerged as District 7 champion with a 7-1 victory over TotinoGrace in the final game July 26 at Anoka’s Castle Field, where they won six of seven games to prevail in the biggest (25 teams) district.

“The Cougars are going to state. All 17 guys deserve this and I couldn’t be more proud,” said coach Michael Diggins. “They have worked so hard and have

been positive all year. The baseball future is bright at Centennial.”

Centennial takes a 27-4 record into the 10-team state tournament in Fergus Falls, Aug. 11-14. Their first-round opponent was not determined as of this week’s Quad deadline.

“We know every team will be confident, excited, and well-coached coming off of a district championship,” Diggins said. “If our boys play with a high energy and play their game, we will have a chance in any game. I'm so excited for them because they deserve this spotlight and they have earned

this opportunity to bring a state championship to Centennial.”

Totino-Grace, which had lost to Centennial 8-1 earlier in the tournament, forced a second game in the finals by tumbling the Cougars 8-3 Tuesday.

But in the final game, the Cougars bounced back as Jake Prasch hurled “an absolute gem,” said Diggins, in going the distance for the victory, allowing six hits, and striking out five.

run double to open a 7-1 lead after T-G intentionally walked Trei Driscoll.

That was understandable strategy by T-G as Driscoll had two home runs and five hits in the two games.

After winning their first four district games (reported in last week’s

Quad), Centennial nipped No. 2 seeded Maple Grove dramatically 5-4 last Monday, with Dylan Grant and Wyatt Schoepoester each delivering an RBI single in the last of the seventh. Casey Lieser pitched five innings and Alex Phillips the final two to get the win. That left Centennial as the lone unbeaten team in the playoffs.

Diggins said the team will make a point of enjoying every moment at state, whatever the outcome.

“But if you ask any one player or coach on this team, we are going up to Fergus Falls on a mission. That is going 4-0 and coming home state champions.”

Star Wars LEGO build teaches computer basics to youth

BY JOLENE FRID CONTRIBUTING WRITER

LINO LAKES – Small LEGO model robots were built and used alongside special computer software by local youth at the Star Wars Robotic Builders class held at Rice Lake Elementary July 25.

The program was a three-day session through Centennial Community Education and brought in teachers from Computer Explorers (CE), an organization providing STEM day camps to youth across the state – to teach youngsters the basics of programming, simple machines, engineering and teamwork. The program was open to youth entering grades 1-5.

Teacher Andrew Madison, a full-time programming student at Dunwoody College of Technology, said the curriculum teaches “basic science and engineering, drag and drop, a real basic overview of programming. A very general idea without having to do any computer code.”

Madison’s interest in instructing youth comes from his upbringing in a large family of children and his experience teaching martial arts to youth.

Nick Gervais, 19, is also a teacher with CE. “The program teaches simple programming they can use later in computer coding,” he noted.

One student, Peyton Trojanowski, took the class to get involved in a summer activity that would allow him to explore an interest while he’s temporarily wheelchair-bound, said

The organization has locations in Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Some local groups include Lino Lakes, White Bear Lake, Stillwater, Shoreview, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Bunker Hills and Anoka.

Reichert learned about the organization from a co-worker who is a coach for the program and joined the organization in April 2011.

“She talked it up and said I didn't need to know how to run or even like running, I just had to go and do it; it is a good work out and you meet new people,” she recalled. “I had a baby three years prior to that and I was still trying to lose that baby weight and it was not coming off very easily. I thought this would be a good opportunity to try to do that.”

She started out doing the program once a week and after a couple of classes she wanted to do more. “I thought if I am going to succeed at this I had to do something on my own, so I held myself accountable and did it three times a

After the 18 week program she lost 35 lbs and by the end of the year that total jumped to 50 lbs. One reason she has enjoyed the group is its supportive nature.

Community gathers at annual corn roast

BY JOLENE FRID CONTRIBUTING WRITER

LINO LAKES – The 6th annual Family Corn Roast hosted by the city took place on Thursday, July 28 at Sunrise Park and featured food, carnival games, face painting, a bouncy house, fire trucks and a cover band.

Scattered around the park were picnic tables with families munching on corn and other food, chatting and playing games as the band played.

Recreation Supervisor Brian Hronski, who has

worked for the city 12 years, said that he and former city employee Tanya Mozingo developed the roast to bring the community together. “We wanted to do a community event with low cost food and this is a good time of year for fresh grilled corn,” Hronski noted.

The event has evolved over the years as the city improves details, such as concessions locations within the park. Rather than using one pavilion for all foods and beverages, the corn is available at a different stand while hot dogs and other foods are housed separately.

This was the first year the event was able to sell ice cream novelties from a new chest freezer recently purchased by the city.

Northeast metro youth drop-in center opens

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Behind the colossal wooden doors and sturdy stone blocks of a former monastery, a group of concerned northeast metro citizens has started the area's only youth drop-in center — a safe place for youth on the go.

NorthStar Youth Outreach Center opened June 6 in Maplewood's Harriet Tubman Center East, a social service agency and shelter housed in a former monastery built for more than 200 nuns.

A few years ago Ron Ofstead and Daniel Wachtler, both members on the social action committee at White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church in Mahtomedi, decided the northeast metro needed a youth drop-in center.

The friends had been involved in a variety of service programs to homeless people in the northeast metro, but wanted to do more long term. Their church hosts the homeless when area shelters run out of room through an organization called Project Home, so a larger outreach to homeless people interested them.

After researching, Ofstead and Wachtler proposed a youth drop-in center, a safe place where youth can come during the day and evening for food, fun, showers, laundry and computer use.

“In the northeast metro there were no services specifically targeting youth,” said Wachtler.

The connection to the Harriet Tubman Center came though a friend at church. The Tubman Center had an entire section of rooms — 2,500 square feet — it was not using and said it would take on the idea for a youth center. They named it the NorthStar Youth Outreach Center in honor of Harriet Tubman, who led slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad by following the North Star in the 1800s.

A community effort Ofstead and Wachtler knew that if the youth center were to actually open, the project would need to extend beyond their church. Several other area churches and regional Rotary clubs have joined the effort. They also contacted homeless liaisons from area school districts Mahtomedi, North St. PaulMaplewood and White Bear Lake, and a counselor at Century College to partner with them in reaching youth ages 13-24.

“We knew we needed broader community support,” said Wachtler. The task force for the center is now made up of 35-40 people. After funds were raised, Ofstead and Wachtler took to mobilizing volunteers to set up the youth center.

“This room didn't look a thing like this,” said Ofstead in the main hang-out room, surrounded by a variety of comfortable furniture and a foosball table.

“It was for storage.” Much of the furniture came from Bridging, a local furniture bank for such causes.

“This rug came from my cabin up north,” said Wachtler, pointing at a large braided rug on the floor.

The framed photographs filling the walls were taken

by Ofstead's daughter. A group of students painted artistic interpretations of the Tree of Life, which line the hallway of the center.

The youth center is stocked with food youth can eat there or take with them. There is a laundry room where youth can wash clothes or pick up personal hygiene items they may need. There is a computer room where youth can use the Internet to search for jobs or housing. There is a nursery/preschool room where youth with children can let them play. There is also an art space where young people will be able to express themselves.

Youth can take showers and, if needed, the Tubman Center can attempt to find them a spot in their shelter

or another area shelter if they have nowhere to go that evening.

“First of all, it is a safe place,” said Wachtler. “It is also a place to get immediate survival needs met.”

And then youth can use the support services offered — tutoring, job searching, housing assistance. The Tubman Center also offers legal support for youth who need it.

Thirty-two volunteers have signed up to help staff the center. All have passed background checks and been trained by the Tubman Center. The NorthStar Youth Outreach Center has one part-time employee from the Tubman Center.

Calling all youth The next task is to reach the youth.

“We have only had one youth so far,” said Wachtler.

“The big task now is getting the word out so the youth who need the services come.”

The northeast metro is home to 400-500 homeless youth, said Ofstead.

“They are out there, but they are off the radar,” said Wachtler, remembering when he and Ofstead met with a homeless youth advocate at Canvas Health in Woodbury. It was then they had heard about a group of homeless youth who live in the woods in Washington County.

“A lot of people don't realize or understand there are homeless youth in the suburbs,” said Wachtler. “We are hopeful over the next 2-3 months youth will begin to come here.”

Strategically, the center is on a bus line — route 219.

The NorthStar Youth Outreach Center hopes to attract unaccompanied youth, which means the youth are not homeless along with a parent or other adult.

“There are half a million unaccompanied youth in any given year nationally,” said Ofstead, noting that one-third of those are gay or lesbian. Ofstead thinks this is often because they are rejected by family.

Right now, a friend from their church in Mahtomedi is hosting a homeless youth in their home who was cast off for another reason. When the youth turned 18, his mother kicked him out of her home in Texas because he chose not to become a Jehovah's Witness like she was. He was sent to his father in Minnesota, who didn't want to take him in. So he slept in his car. But a family found him through the Host Home Program, overseen by Avenues for Homeless Youth in Minneapolis.

Now he plans to attend college to study airline mechanics. The family has committed to house him until he finishes college.

Ultimately, Ofstead and Wachtler want to see homeless youth given opportunities to succeed and not get trapped in a lifestyle they never imagined.

“A lot of sex trafficking goes on in this age group,” said Ofstead, an example of what the youth drop-in center aims to stop through offering support to at-risk youth.

A training program for new volunteers to staff the center will be held in August. The center accepts donations of clean and gently used blankets, pillows and sleeping bags for youth to take with them, and clothes.

Current drop-in hours are 3 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Ofstead and Wachtler would like to move it to seven days a week.

NorthStar Youth Outreach Center is located in the Harriet Tubman Center at 1725 Monastery Way, Maplewood. A 24-hour crisis line is available: 612-8250000.

For more information on volunteering or donating, call 612-825-3333 or 651-429-8665 or visit tubman.org.

'Like dancing in air'

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Flyboarder Bruce Haglund practices at least three days a week on White Bear Lake.

He lives near the VFW and likes a nearby dredged section of the bay for stunts like porpoising. The added depth keeps him from hitting bottom. He is on YouTube for anyone interested in watching the Dubai event.

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Who would have thought there is a World Flyboarding Championship — in Dubai?

A White Bear Lake dentist who competes in Flyboarding was invited to the international event last winter. He went as an alternate, but because a guy from Argentina didn't show, "I got to fly," said Bruce Haglund, DDS. Dubai, according to Haglund, wants to be the center for extreme sports.

While he was there in fact, there was an extreme skydiving event — the World Air Games — going on at the same location.

"It was a crazy atmosphere," noted Haglund, who at 63 was the oldest Flyboarding competitor.

Flyboarding uses high-pressure streams of water to propel a person high above the surface of the water while pulled by a Jet-ski. Invented in

France about five years ago, Haglund saw a video and emailed the company, which put him in contact with a Minnesota distributor. The White Bear Lake homeowner has been Flyboarding, also called hydro flight in the generic, about three years.

To qualify for worlds, Haglund submitted a Flyboarding video to a selection committee. They picked the top 10 competitors in his over-40 division. He was No. 11, so attended as an alternate.

The competition took place in an area of palm-shaped artificial islands off Dubai's coast. Haglund described it as a Miami Beach with taller buildings.

The Minnesota dentist placed 9th out of 10; not bad considering he was the oldest Flyboarder by 11 years.

"My goal wasn't how I placed, but just to be there," Haglund said. "I'm the Eddie the Eagle of Flyboarding."

A resident of White Bear Lake for five years, Haglund has owned a dental practice in Maplewood since 1977. Some might consider him an adrenaline junkie; he also enjoys ski diving and even has videos flossing while sky diving. It was about his 80th jump.

"Everybody needs to find a place in their life to floss every day. It saves money and improves romance. It's my little thing," he quipped.

"I fell for Flyboarding hook, line and sinker," Haglund said. "It's great exercise and tons of fun. It's like dancing on water. I stumbled into the competition thing because I learned how to do a backflip. Now the best guy is doing a quad (four) backflip. It's changing rapidly. I barely qualified even as an alternate in my division. Of course the guy who won is only 16. He was from Texas."

Injuries are possible. Haglund goes 30 to 40 feet in the air and one time burst a kidney cyst (a common anomaly, he added) when his personal watercraft lost power and he dropped like a rock to the water.

"I did a 35-foot belly flop," Haglund recalled.

The equipment expense is comparable to a second watercraft, added the dentist. It depends on accessories, too. He has a bluetooth control in his hand that throttles the watercraft so no one has to pilot.

Not difficult to learn, Haglund enjoys teaching friends and relatives to Flyboard. "It's like riding a bike. You can get the basics in 15 to 30 minutes," he said. "I love the sport. I'm surprised no one else on White Bear Lake does it."
