‘More Than Pink’ empowers girls for 2nd year

BY JANICE COLLOVA PRESS INTERN

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Freewheeling demonstration

The “More Than Pink” program through Centennial Community Education is about to wrap up another successful summer of preparing girls for a 5K and empowering their self-worth.

For the past seven weeks 39 fifth and sixth grade girls have met at Centennial High School for two hours every Tuesday and Thursday morning. For one half of the day they exercise through means like dance, soccer, bicycling, relay games and track. For the other half, they learn about various life lessons through simulations, discussions and presentations. Notable life lessons learned include respect, healthy eating, navigating social media, friendship and self-esteem.

Guest speakers have included the QC Dance company, the Lino Lakes Police Department and volunteers from social work organization Alexandra House.

According to the program’s website, the purpose of the girls’ experience is to “inspire girls to stay true to themselves and live free from societal stereotypes” and also “empower girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices, and

Livingston is perhaps best locally known as Lino Lakes’ fi rst chief of police. He had moved to Lino in 1952 when the city was still part of Centerville Township, and shortly after was

During his two years as chief he patrolled the streets of Lino at night in his personal Chevy, complete with makeshift lights and sirens. Betty recalled that even though crime “is way worse

Zephyr Theatre celebrates grand opening with arts bonanza in August STILLWATER — The Zephyr Theatre on Stillwater’s Main Street has announced a series of grand opening events, which began July 27. Musical performances were held for the donors and for the public, in addition to a ribbon cutting on Aug. 2.

Beyond these events, the theater announced a new marketing director as well as a slew of new performances slated for six nights a week in August.

After 18 months of grassroots fundraising, this summer The Zephyr Theatre purchased the $2.5 million former Zephyr train depot, vacant seven years but once a hub for the popular dinner and entertainment train. More than 500 individuals and businesses made donations large and small, plus many businesses and professionals have made in-kind donations.

Charles “Chico” Rouse Jr., the Zephyr’s new marketing director, said he intends “to show people how we can do it ‘small,’ to convince donors that we can do it ‘big.’”

Rouse has a 50-year career as a

professional jazz musician, producer, celebrity musician promoter and music club owner. He recently relocated from the east coast to Stillwater at the wishes of his wife, Maria D’Onofrio, who had lived in the area and loved Stillwater. His father Charles Rouse was a renowned jazz player on the saxophone and flute. His mother Esperanza Rouse was a dancer in the still famous Cotton Club music venue in New York City. They collaborated with well-known artists including Thelonious Monk and Lena Horn.

Although the former Zephyr Depot building on Main Street does not yet have an auditorium, two small stages have been constructed within the building for performances.

At 7 p.m. Tuesday evenings, guests can enjoy live dance bands. Swing music will be played on the fi rst and third Tuesdays, with ballroom on the second Tuesday and folk on the fourth.

The fi rst Wednesday of the month will feature comedy and magic shows, while the second and fourth will focus on fi lm and the third will

be open mic (all events at 7 p.m.).

Thursdays offer concerts across all music genres at 7 p.m.

Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays will hold live theater showings at 7 p.m., as well as jazz concerts and musician jams at 10 p.m. on Saturdays.

Literary readings and story telling will be held on occasional Sundays.

In addition to these weekly performances, the theater is preparing a production of “Twelfth Night,” which will perform in Bayport Marina August 9-14. Dates and locations have not yet been announced.

The theater will be undergoing its conversion into a professional-level theater and is expected to be complete by 2020. In addition to live theater, Zephyr audiences will be offered numerous choices in professional concerts, fi lm, dance, literary arts and storytelling.

The theater company has now entered its second phase of fundraising, seeking another $4 million to add a three-story 330-seat auditorium (the fi rst story at below-ground level for rehearsals). Funds also will

go toward the extensive renovation costs of the existing building, which include the creation of a public bakery cafe in the south end, providing house-made gourmet desserts for theater goers at intermission. The cafe also will be a new gathering place for Stillwater residents and visitors.

Adjacent to the planned bakery cafe space, the building features a wraparound solid wood bar, and a spacious lobby with comfortable seating.

The building will house the Zephyr’s wide array of theater arts classes for children and adults, currently housed in a studio downtown Stillwater.

One vacant train car remains on the property, riverside, which will be renovated into a snack shop for pedestrians and bicyclists along the Brown’s Creek State Trail that runs behind the building.

All Zephyr Theatre performance details and tickets may be found at www.stillwaterzephyrtheatre.org.

Emergency service taken ill

I

F YOU MAKE a medical emergency call on weekdays in White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Dellwood, Gem Lake, Birchwood, White Bear Township or southern Lino Lakes, you could be in trouble.

The White Bear Lake Fire Department is short of part-time paramedics and they have found it difficult to fill the positions.

How long will the public have to wait and will there be untimely deaths due to this impaired service?

That’s the question the White Bear Lake City Council has been wrestling with the last couple of months. They plan to act on this issue next week.

The problem existed before that.

About the The firefighting part-time paraTown medic personnel have not been sustainable. More resignations over Gene Johnson the past several years have created a problem that is growing.

To date they have been primarily operating on a part-time per call basis, but with the population growing older and requests for service increasing, the fire chief, city staff and council are beginning to look to more full-time people. They have been slow in getting it accomplished.

Currently, the city of White Bear Lake has two full-time paramedics. The current goal is to have eight to alleviate the availability of the part-time personnel who have regular job responsibilities.

Employment shortages are everywhere. We train people in the newspaper business and they move on to bigger and better opportunities. It’s a real challenge for us, too.

These things don’t just happen overnight. You just have to read the numbers to know what’s happening.

Part of the problem is that when local service is not readily available due to lack of staff, they have to call another service which causes serious delays. It may take three or four times as long to bring the service where it is needed and every minute counts when you are dealing with life and death issues.

So what do they do? Leadership needs to take action. We have a city administrator who has alerted the council. We have a mayor who is very concerned. Now we need to get the council aligned so they can move forward.

Some things you can discuss and discuss, but action is needed. There isn’t time to waste.

Not every decision you make will be perfect.

They can be modified and corrected.

Let’s not waste time on life and death issues.

ON AUGUST 3, Kathy and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. It has been a good run.

We have been favored in so many ways and give thanks daily to our Lord for the partnership, four children and their spouses, five grandchildren and 5-1/2 great-grandchildren.

Time has gone fast and in this column over the years you have read of our many adventures.

We have learned a lot together. We have shed tears of both joy and sorrow and have laughed a lot together over the dumb things we do and have done.

We still have a bucket list of travel destinations and continue to enjoy long-time friends as well as making new ones.

The community newspaper business allows us to connect with many people in many different walks of life. We are fortunate to have friends from around the world.

Living on the water in the winters builds close friendships. Wherever there are common bonds, relationships flourish.

On Aug. 4, Gordy and Kathy Jarvis helped us celebrate on the St. Croix River on their river boat, the Afton Princess. Many of our friends were there to help us enjoy that and the good food catered from the Afton House.

Breakfast around the world varies vastly. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what do you do if you’re not a fan of the American breakfasts of cereal, pancakes, mufďŹ ns, or other sweets.

What about those hot summer days when you don’t want anything hot, like oatmeal?

I love to travel. I have been to places like Africa, Spain, Italy, and France.

I’m ready to travel to a place where my kind of breakfast is served. I’m surprised how each country eats vastly differently from the United States. A bowl of cereal is deďŹ nitely an American tradition.

In France, Spain, and Italy, they serve a tiny (by American standards) unsweetened pastry and a cup of espresso. In China, dim sum soup is typical. The English eat scones and cooked tomatoes. In India, you’re served chutney and dips with roti (Indian style bread). Closer to home,

One of my favorite breakfasts is a cheese board, basically an assortment of cheeses and condiments that complement the cheese like jams, honey, nuts, olives, pickled veggies, bread or crackers, and fresh fruit. A cheese board is suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL NOTES LEXINGTON — Fire Chief Gary Grote was two minutes late to present the 2017 annual fi re report at the City Council meeting Aug. 2. When the council began the meeting at 7 p.m. sharp, Grote had not arrived so the council moved to further items on the agenda. When Grote did arrive he explained that he had come home to a surprise birthday party in his honor, and while celebrating had tried to leave as early as he could to attend the meeting.

The council then proceeded with the original agenda and gave full attention to Grote's annual report. Notable items on the report include: • FireďŹ ghters responded to 224 total calls; 86 percent of these calls were responded to in less than 10 minutes. • The ďŹ re department was awarded a $1,200 Minnesota Board of Firefighter Training grant to reimburse training.

and education.

In addition, the City Council took the following actions: • Approved a policy for probationary period for inexperienced or uncertified fi refighters. Newly hired fi refighters lacking experience or certification will be on a probationary period for 24 months until they complete all training requirements, during which a probationary fi refighter can be terminated if he or she proves to be incompetent or undisciplined. As Grote put it, the termination policy is designed to be more forward with terminating employees: “If they're really not gonna blend in with the fabric of what we have, we should just be able to have an opportunity to say 'you know what, this isn't working.'â€? • Declared October as Domestic Violence

• Several vehicles were sold and replaced. One of the new vehicles was the Rescue 1 – Mini Pumper. Every vehicle was paid for through charitable gambling. • The Fire Relief Association donated $103,000 for the year. The money comes from charitable gambling at Cowboy's Saloon. • The budget for 2017 was $187,700, but actual expenses were $170,300, which was 9 percent under budget. • The Safety Camp has notably been declining in attendance, but the fi re department continues to reach out to youth in the community. • Among those recognized for awards were Mike Mohler as Firefighter of the Year; Jeffery Geiger for Chief's Coin for responding to 64 percent of all calls; Kirk Hughes for Chief's Recognition for exceptional instruction of EMR training

Awareness Month. • Renewed the business license of D&E Driving School on 4135 Woodland Road. • Council member Kim DeVries addressed complaints about six mailboxes that had been moved from their original spots to Woodland Drive in the midst of construction along Lake Drive. Neither the civilians concerned nor the local post office knew the mailboxes would be removed. DeVries and Council member Diane Harris suggested that some form of communication be sent to residents to let them know when the mailboxes would be returned to their original spots.

City Administrator Bill Paetracek will speak to the construction company for further communication. • Council member John Hughes addressed concerns

about how Lake Drive's infrastructure would impact snowplowing. He was concerned that snow from Lake Drive would cover the frontage road in certain areas. • Council member Mike Murphy addressed a Neighborhood Watch sign on Edith that currently stands at a 45 degree slant. Council member DeVries suggested that Public Works would be a good contact since they might have put up the pole that held the sign, even though Neighborhood Watch is not a city-sanctioned group. • Council member Murphy reminded members that National Night Out is Aug. 7.

The next city council meeting will be held on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Walleyes galore at remote Ontario fi shing resort

BY GENE JOHNSON PUBLISHER EMERITUS

If you want a beautiful 18-mile lake setting, complete with a spectacular waterfall, then Fletcher Lake, Ontario, is your destination.

To get there, all you have to do is get on a bush plane from Kenora and fly 50 miles straight north to this exceptional trophy fi shing and hunting area.

Fletcher Lake Lodge was established in the 1960s when the provincial government of Ontario encouraged tourism and resort development. It's owned by Jeanne MacLean, a Missouri native who bought the resort in 1981.

In 1983, a dry lightning forest fi re decimated the buildings; only one cabin survived.

Now at age 57, MacLean looks back with pride at all her regular clientele, mostly from Minnesota and Missouri, who have enjoyed the personal service. She has raised three boys there, one of whom, Kevin, 29, continues with her and hopes one day to take over the resort. He serves as a guide and keeps everything operating.

In 2002, MacLean pulled together fi ve resorts to create a pilot project called the “Trophy Waters” program with help from the provincial government. The whole idea was to conserve fish.

The “Trophy Waters” program is all catch and release. Anglers are encouraged to photograph their fish with inch measurement. To qualify as a trophy, walleyes have to be 27 or more inches in length, bass have to be a minimum of 18 inches and northerns a minimum of 38 inches. They are then entered into a contest sponsored by the five resorts. First prize in each category gets a complimentary stay at the respective lodge where the fish was caught.

The MacLeans suggest to their customers an individual goal of 50 walleyes a day, and most times anglers reach it.

Now operating Pull Tabs Mon-Sun 11:00AM until close

On the lodge porch, overlooking the boat docks, from left, are Jeanne MacLean, owner, her son Kevin, and one of their employees, Lorraine McDonald, whose home is Old Fort Bay in northern Quebec.

There are three portage lakes, two for muskie and one as a trophy lake.

Most bass and walleye are caught on jigs with minnows. The slow-moving water provides great food for the schools of fish over the rocks and sandbar humps.

They prefer to have only 20 to 25 guests at the lodge at any given time. Besides Jeanne and Kevin, there are two hired staffers.

You can cook your own meals, but they offer an American plan with excellent home cooked food.

Shore lunches are available, but most shore lunches happen back at the resort using outdoor grills and deep fryers.

The scenic views of the lake and its bays are wonderful. There are bluffs up to 300 feet high.

When the season is over in mid-September, the family retreats to Warroad, Minnesota, for the winter months.

Jeanne was exposed to Canadian wilderness fi shing when her father, Fuzz LePage, decided to find out what it’s like to be a bush pilot after retiring from the Missouri Highway Patrol.

Jeanne was with him when they flew over the Fletcher Lake area and decided to land to ask if they needed his services. The owners said no, adding they wanted to sell the place. Dad encouraged his 20-yearold daughter to purchase the resort.

Jeanne tells the story of when the fire went through and she was devastated. Her dad grabbed her by the shoulders and put her up against the wall and said, “We’re going to get through it no matter what.” Well, it’s proof today after 37 years that she did it.

It’s a wonderful resort with special services to make customers want to come back. Jeanne says 90 percent of her customers return.

I took my two sons and grandson there in June and I can attest to the personalized service, wonderful fishing and beautiful setting.

But I must admit I got my encouragement from my neighbor, Pat Oven, who has fished there for several years and bragged about it. He was right.

Girls welcomed in local Cub Scout packs

BY JANICE COLLOVA PRESS INTERN

Some Cub Scout leaders were not surprised when the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced last summer that packs could choose to welcome girls.

In fact, the announcement was anticipated.

“I wasn’t surprised because the district had let us know that it seemed like we were going in that direction,” said Dan Celotta, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 692 in Lino Lakes. Brian Peterson, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 432 in Centerville, was also hearing “higher-up” Scout leaders talk about the possibility of girls joining. Also, both chairs had noticed girls in their communities informally participate in Scout activities in the past.

Not only was the BSA’s announcement anticipated; it was welcomed.

While girls were still welcomed to participate in Scout activities, they did not officially earn awards, achievements and ranks. Celotta recalled one particular girl who did the same activities to earn an award as the pack’s official members, but watched everyone else receive something “tangible” while she received nothing. “It didn’t make much sense to her or anybody as well,” Celotta recalled. Now that girls can register as Cub Scouts, they can officially be awarded for their achievements.

Yet welcoming girls in Scouts has not happened overnight. In fact, so far only 32 packs in this area, including Celotta’s, have welcomed girls under the early adopter program.

The Northern Star Council, which administers to packs mostly in the Metro and central Minnesota, decided to not let all packs that chose to welcome girls do so immediately. Instead, beginning this past March the Council allowed only packs that had applied to be “early adopter” packs to welcome girls. What these packs learn about welcoming girls into their communities, the Council will apply when more packs welcome girls for the official 20182019 program year, to make the introduction to the program the best it can be for girls. In a sense, the early adopter program works like a transitional pilot program.

The early adopter program will also be applied to Boy Scouts when that organization begins welcoming girls in February 2019 under the changed name “Scouts, BSA.” Meanwhile, the Council’s Marketing/ Communications Director Kent York said that even with welcoming girls, the Cub Scouts program will actually not undergo many significant changes. For one, Scouts has always been a “family program.”

Family members have always been invited to attend monthly meetings, events, volunteer opportunities and camps. With the door open, girls in a sense have always been involved in Scouts. The only program difference now with girls joining, York said, is that girls can participate not just as family members tagging along, but as official cardcarrying members of the program.

According to York, one reason why the BSA decided to have girls become official members is because families and leaders have wanted it for years. “You have to listen to what your families of your prospective members are telling you,” York said. “We’re trying to meet the needs of today’s families.” That might be contributed to girls informally participating and to changes in the family unit. “Families today are busier than ever it seems,” York explained. “They’re looking for a one-stop shop … to involve their son and daughter instead of running to two different places.”

Families who haven’t been able to run their son and daughter to two different places have often brought their daughters to Cub Scout events anyway. This is how Ellie and Kaelyn got involved in Cub Scouts.

Kaelyn’s mom, Mindy McLain, says that Kaelyn had wanted to be an official Scouts member from the very beginning. “When you’re watching your older brother do (Scouts) for years,” she said, recalling what Kaelyn must have thought, “(you ask yourself) ‘when’s it my turn?’”

BRIAN PETERSON | SUBMITTED

Emmaleigh Dobratz of Boy Scout Troop 136, and Hailey Peterson and Ellie Russell of Cub Scout Pack 432 from Centerville hand out flags at a parade. Russell and Dobratz are not officially registered as Scouts but have already been welcomed to participate in activities in their respective programs.

Peterson just officially registered as a Bear Cub Scout.

Ellie’s mom, Leslie Russell, recalled that when Ellie went to a Scout camp with her younger brother several years ago, she “got hooked” on the activities he did and has been involved in Scout activities ever since.

Both girls, from Centerville and Lino Lakes respectively, generally enjoy Scouts because its emphasis on outdoor adventures and camping already appeals to their interests. McLain described her daughter as a “rough and tumble” kind of girl while Ellie herself remarked that she enjoys “getting her hands dirty and interacting with things.”

The girls tried Girl Scouts when they were younger. While both their mothers noted that Girl Scouts is a good program with good leadership, fun activities and a welcoming environment, the program simply wasn’t for their daughters.

“There’s scouting for everyone,” McLain said, who notes that there are other scouting organizations in the Metro area besides Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts. “It’s a matter of finding the program that works for you.” One example might be Peterson’s daughter Hailey, who is involved in both Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts.

McLain noted that Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts are run very differently, especially since the core of Cub Scouts’ programming is the outdoor adventures.

Eight-year-old Kaelyn was registered when Pack 692 became an early adopter in March. Since then she has earned both the Bobcat and Wolf ranks.

Ten-year-old Ellie will register in the fall but has already been welcomed into Pack 432 by Peterson and has her own uniform. This fall she will continue working on earning her Arrow of Light rank.

In the midst of this change, Cubmaster Craig Flor of Pack 212 in Vadnais Heights said nothing “earthshattering” is happening, especially in regard to girls joining his own early adopter pack.

“They’re just kids, we’re all doing the same thing and having a good time,” he said There are other ways girls - and boys - can benefit from joining Scouts, besides having fun. Developing as a leader, community service, practicing citizenship, building character and confidence and

The Boy Scouts of America just released a video about girls being accepted into the organization. View the video at https://scoutingwire.org/marketing-and-membership-hub/ bsa-today/?utm_source=AC

learning new skills in a safe environment are all common themes that have been mentioned by the leadership interviewed for this article.

Another important benefit is that kids can become part of a community.

Celotta said that anyone can “fit in” at Scouts.

“If there are kids who haven’t found their niche, they might fi nd their sense of community with this group.”

If you are interested in registering your child for Scouts, the Northern Star Council website is now open to register both girls and boys. Families can also register for packs that only include boys. You can also mark your calendar for Sept. 20, when elementary schools throughout the Council’s region will have an open house to help families register their child for Scouts. If you have any questions about Scouts or wish to register your child, you can call the Council’s main office at 612-261-2300 or visit its website at northernstarbsa.org or joincubs.org.

LINO’S FIRST CHIEF: Overcoming challenges over the years FROM PAGE 1

now” than it was in the 1950s, crime was still a problem in the small town of Lino and Livingston’s work was still dangerous.

For instance, Livingston was among many officers involved when police chased down the O’Kasick brothers in 1957 and killed two of the criminals in a bloody shootout near Anoka.

“Officers from every police department in the metro were there,” Livingston recalled in a 2011 article for Quad. “There had to be 180 police there.”

Within Lino, among other instances Livingston also had to keep tabs on a window peeper (who would later be convicted for murder) and had to grapple with the deaths of two part-time patrolmen who fell asleep at the wheel when they were offduty. Livingston also faced antagonism from the village council after he arrested then-mayor Arnold Kelling’s son for speeding.

Meanwhile, Livingston maintained a full-time job as a welder. “He wasn’t (home) very much,” recalled Betty.

Nevertheless, Livingston still wanted to pursue a career in police work. “Jim was so proud of being a policeman because he loved that work,” said Betty.

“He really loved that job.” In fact, Livingston was so determined to continue his enforcement career that when he learned of an open position in California, he was determined to pursue it.

A 1958 article from the Minneapolis Star echoes a similar notion. The article, entitled “Lino Lakes Losing Police Force,” said that Livingston “would eventually move from Lino Lakes if his opportunity (for police work) is blocked there.”

The article further detailed how the majority of the village council was planning to vote to abolish the police department in Lino. Betty however believed that Kelling was still displeased with his son’s speeding charge, and the vote to abolish the police department was more to remove Livingston out of spite. When Kelling’s son was caught

speeding, Betty said “that’s when the politics entered in.”

Because Livingston was a military veteran with a good record, he was able to keep his position as police chief through the end of his appointed term.

But after February 1, 1958 Livingston officially resigned from his position and his days as a police officer were over. The politics of Lino had tired him, and Betty said that eventually she was just able to “talk him out of it (pursuing police work).”

But even though she never wanted her husband to work in the police force, today she still respects how much her husband loved his job.

After his days as police chief, Livingston still worked to serve. In the 1970s he served as a parttime fi re marshal. More recently he had been involved in city elections, helping mayor and council member candidates advocate for their campaigns. He was good friends with Lino’s current mayor Reinert and Reinert’s father, who was also mayor and is the same age Livingston was when he passed, 86.

Despite his adventurous life, Livingston passed in a quiet setting. For the last month of his life Livingston was tended to at home by his wife and the staff of Fairview Chisago Lakes Hospice. Betty is thankful for the hospice staff.

At the funeral, in an interesting twist of history friends connected to Livingston’s police chief days attended. Among them was family friend Michael Derby. His father Everett, who was close with Livingston, was one of the patrolmen who had fallen asleep at the wheel all those decades earlier.

Even amid that tragedy the families have stayed connected all these years.

Along with many friends and Betty, Livingston is also survived by three children, three grandchildren, one great-grandchild, his brother and his sister-in-law.

‘MORE THAN PINK’: Inspiring friendship and growth FROM PAGE 1

embrace their gifts.”

“More Than Pink is about girls … learning to be strong and believe in themselves, to be proud of who they are both inside and out,” added Cori Sendle, Director of Community Education who started the program last year.

“There’s so much thrown at young girls these days with everything on social media … (The program) is about disconnecting from that and having a good time, learning, having fun and becoming more physically fit.”

The staff who have worked directly with the girls noted the friendships and personal growth that has developed over this summer.

Dani Anderson, the lead instructor of the program, recalls that most of the girls did not know each other at the beginning of the program. “They

started out in pods,” she says, “but now they mix pretty awesomely.”

A visit to the Commons area shows that toward the end of the program, almost every girl is talking to another.

One day when the girls painted on canvases, they complimented each other’s projects and shared ideas of what they would paint. On a more individual note, girls who considered themselves “terrible” at art or were not certain about their projects made an effort to create something satisfying.

Anderson and the two other staff have all noted personally how the program seems to have helped participants build confidence. Anderson said that watching the girls being willing to try new things and step out of their comfort zones has been inspiring to her.

“These kids are teaching me new things every day,” she said.

Anderson currently works full-

If you go: The general public is invited to participate in More Than Pink’s capstone 5K on August 8. Registration is only $5 and can be done online at isd12. ce.eleyo.com or in person the night of the event. Check-in starts at 5:30 p.m. at Centennial High School – West Building in the front parking lot. The run will start at 6 p.m. and end at about 8 p.m. It will traverse the high school grounds and local roads throughout the communtiy. Participants can run or walk at their choice. time at the nearby YMCA, where she said she has “developed a passion for helping kids.” As Anderson sought more opportunities to work with kids, she eventually met Sendle through a mutual connection with the Y’s Family Engagement Director. Even now she still works forty hours a week at the Y, but she is grateful that her supervisors give her flexibility so she can lead More Than Pink. Anderson hopes to be back next year after beginning her first year of graduate studies in social work.

As the program concludes, the girls prepare for a 5K run. The run will take place the evening of August 8 and will traverse the high school grounds and local roads. The girls had a sneak peek at this route during previous sessions, but some of them still appeared nervous.

One girl particularly moaned, “I can’t believe we have to run three miles.”

The girl beside her pointed out that people do not have to run the 5K, to which a third girl responded that she will just do a light jog.

Indeed participants can run or walk the 5K at their choice. The program’s website says that the 5K is not a “competitive race but a celebration of empowerment and inspiration.”

The run is simply meant to be a capstone event celebrating a successful completion of the program.

They also do not have to go about it alone. Family members, friends and the general public can participate to join the girls and provide community support. After the run More Than Pink’s second year will have officially concluded.

As for next year and beyond, Sendle hopes to continue to grow the program of More Than Pink and “reach more girls in the community.”

Registration for next year’s program will open late next winter. Space is limited and for this year’s program space filled before the registration window had closed. Anyone interested can visit the Centennial Community Education website at isd12.ce.eleyo.com or call the main office at 763-792-6100.

Lice Lounge growing its business

BY CONRAD ENGSTROM PRESS INTERN

Jess Fleming was tired of bringing her children to and from the Lice Lady in West St. Paul for lice checks. “We need something on the east side of the cities where people can get checked,� she said.

So Fleming founded the Lice Lounge in January 2016 in the middle of downtown White Bear. It’s off Third Street down an alley between Country Charm Boutique and Hollihan’s Pub. The Lice Lounge has seen patients from all over the state to check for the parasites. Fleming saw so many families from Duluth, she decided to start a Lice Lounge up north.

What makes the Lice Lounge different is the natural way they get rid of lice — or Pediculus humanus capitis — one strand of hair at a time.

Appointments take about 90 minutes to two hours with Fleming or one of the four other moms who work at the Lounge. “Cleaning the house is not really necessary,�

Fleming said. “The bugs do not live in our environment off the head. It’s less than a 2 percent chance that lice will be on your pillowcase, hat, helmet or anything like that.�

Lice only get spread by head-to-head contact.

With young children not having much personal space, the bugs can spread quickly. Summertime is a popular time for the Lice Lounge because children have more play dates and there is more chance for head-to-head contact than during the school year. “Recess, lunch and bus rides are when the most

connection happens at school,� Fleming added.

Fleming describes the Lice Lounge as an ER treatment place, because you never know how many patients will come in during the day.

One girl came in with pink hair; a common misconception is that if a person colors their hair then they won’t get head lice. That wasn’t the case this time around. Fleming searched through her pink head of hair and, sure enough, picked out the pink-colored lice.

Once a female louse is pregnant, it will remain pregnant for the rest of its life and lay around eight to 10 eggs a day. Each egg takes seven to 10 days to hatch and another seven to 10 days to become adults and start laying eggs. Lice are blood-compatible, meaning they only survive with the blood type they started on. When a lice bug is transferred to another head with which it’s not compatible, it will die, but not before laying eggs — and those lice will be compatible.

Rita Groneberg went with her two daughters to the Lice Lounge two summers ago after they got lice from a fitness club. After Fleming combed through their hair, she found 100 lice on each of Groneberg’s daughters and a single egg in Groneberg’s hair as well. Groneberg bought combs and special shampoos and went back for free check-ups. She stressed what a good job Fleming and the other women at the Lice Lounge did educating them about head lice. “Lice won’t hurt you,� Groneberg said. “You just have to remove them.�

Thankfully, it has been over a year since Groneberg and her daughters made an appearance at the Lice Lounge. One thing

The past weekend got off to a wet start with a round of storms early on Friday, then a round of heavier storms Friday evening. The storms Friday morning had some small hail but it was the storms Friday evening that proved to be a little more interesting, as they were accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and lightning. A local tree took a direct hit from a lightning bolt and was left shattered, with portions taking out the side of the home. In all, I totaled over an inch of rain. The rains Saturday held off just long enough for the Strive 5K/10k to take place along White Bear Lake. Saturday evening and Sunday were dry and outdoor activities returned to normal. Nature Note: I witnessed about 20 turkeys do their evening roosting routine, flying 30 feet into the limbs of trees in…of all places, Nord’east Minneapolis.

Saving the manatee one step at a time

BY SARA MARIE MOORE SHOREVIEW EDITOR

In the clear water of Florida’s Blue Spring State Park, majestic creatures surrounded Wayne Hartley’s canoe, surfacing gently to breathe one after another, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh … 36, Hartley said.

Only 36 manatees?

Weaving around about 300 manatees peacefully floating in the warm spring this January, it was hard to imagine the day when Hartley began documenting manatees as a ranger in the park in the 1980s. At that time, there were only 36 manatees wintering at the spring near Orange City, Florida. This winter, 582 individual manatees were counted, 70 over the record.

Hartley called out the names of manatees from his canoe — “Hello Precious,” he said.

“Howie … Ansel … Nick … Sickle … I think the scar looks like a sickle.”

Lily’s scar looks like a flower. About 99 percent of the scars are caused by boat propellers.

Hartley has a book of about 400 drawings of manatees and their scar patterns — the work of nearly 40 years, fi rst as a park employee and now as a part-time staff member of Save the Manatee Club.

Each winter Hartley identifies new scars or observes how they heal.

We slowly glided up the spring run off the St. John’s River. At 72 degrees no matter the air temperature, it creates a warm winter haven for the manatee that can die due to cold stress. Mist floated above the spring as it met the cool air.

“Phyllis,” Hartley called out. My heart skipped a beat at the heavily scarred gray blob. This was the manatee I had adopted through the Save the Manatee Club adoption program as a child in the 1990s.

Seeing her among so many young manatees and knowing she would have been one of few 20 years ago, I was struck by what people can do for wildlife and the environment when they come together in small ways.

laws and regulations to protect manatees, have likely helped the manatee bounce back, Hartley said. Every year, the base manatee population wintering at Blue Spring increases.

He also sees less scarring.

In 1991, there were a total of about 1,200 manatees in Florida, according to a synoptic survey by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. There were about 6,100 manatees counted in the 2018 survey.

In 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service downlisted the Florida manatee from endangered to threatened status.
