Adoption and foster care parents urgently needed

‘White-robed apostles of hope’ The large white trumpet-shaped flowers of Easter lily (Lilium longiflorum) are a tradition this time of year. These plants are forced to bloom at the appropriate time for the religious holiday, completely out of their normal flowering time. Native to the three small southern islands of Japan (Liu-chiu/Ryukyu Islands), this species was distributed to other parts of the world a long time ago. It was being cultivated on the mainland of China and Japan when early western explorers reached the area. In 1777 the

famous plant explorer Carl Peter Thunberg discovered this lily and sent it to England in 1819. By the 1880s, bulbs were being grown commercially in Bermuda for shipment to the US, but by the turn of the century Japan dominated the US export market. When the supply of stock from Japan was cut off when World War II began with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, prices rose, making commercial cultivation of these bulbs economically feasible in the US. Today almost all of the

Have you ever considered adopting a child or becoming a foster parent for children in need of help? If so, adoption or fostering requires patience, unconditional love and understanding. The Ramsey County Library hosted a Zoom event March 10 to provide general information on adoption and foster care. A team of panelists included Franklin Middle School teacher Michael Bratsch and Ramsey County Foster Care Supervisor Talli Jordan. The need for foster parents and adoptive families is great throughout the state of Minnesota: approximately 1,600 children wait for adoption and close to 10,000 kids are in foster care daily.

Swan deaths spur effort to ban lead tackle BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

The symptoms aren’t difficult to see when you know what to look for: the tremors, drooping head, clumsy sluggishness and eventual death. The slow effects of lead poisoning on the swans at Sucker Lake in Vadnais Heights are a serious reminder of why the toxic metal has been banned in paints and pipes for decades. But there’s one place you’re still likely to find lead in Minnesota—your tackle box. A bill introduced in the state Legislature this January is proposing to restrict the sale of lead tackle in Minnesota in the hope of reducing the accumulation of lead in local lakes. A similar bill was introduced in early 2020 but was put on the back burner when the Legislature was occupied with a rush of bills at the onset of the pandemic. The bill is sponsored by Sen. Chuck Wiger in the Senate, and Rep. Peter Fischer in the House. Sharp-eyed citizens and staff from the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO) have noted five dead swans in Sucker Lake in this winter. Not all of the dead swans were recovered, but three were tested at the University of Minnesota’s Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. All of them tested positive for lead poisoning. Swan deaths from lead ingestion are a yearly occurrence at Sucker Lake. Locals have counted 22 dead swans in the last three years. The number of poisoned swans may seem small compared to the flocks of thousands that live in Minnesota, but Dawn Tanner, program development coordinator at VLAWMO, explained that cases of lead poisoning are underreported because of the dangerous conditions for bird recovery. If caught in time, swans can be treated with the help of rehabilitators such as the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville. But since swans are one of the largest birds species in North America and tend to prefer to spend time on open water at the edges of thin ice, capturing an ailing swan for treatment is no easy task. The effects of lead in the environment are a concern for the hunting world as well; tiny lead fragments from ammunition are found in the meat and organs of game animals. “The more we look for lead in the environment, the more we find it,” Tanner said. “This is a small exam-

ple of much larger problem.” While many waterfowl are affected by lead in the lakes, the swans at Sucker Lake are especially noticeable because they happen to congregate in preferred fishing spots during the winter months, where the water is open, and where there also happens to be a lot of lost tackle. Like chickens, swans and loons swallow stones to aid in digestion, and fishing sinkers are the perfect size for their gizzard. The bills would ban the sale of lead sinkers and jigs an ounce or smaller, and under the length of 2.5 inches, giving retailers until the year 2024 to make the full switch. Rep. Peter Fischer, who authored the House bill, said he wasn’t aware that Minnesota had no restrictions on lead tackle until he came across a presentation by Girl Scout Troop 56087 at a University of Minnesota water resources conference. The troop from White Bear Lake has stayed involved with the effort to pass legislation regulating the use of lead tackle, even testifying at legislative hearings. Youth involvement has been a large part of the initiative to encourage anglers to make the switch to non-lead tackle. Kelly Amoth is an educator for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Get the Lead

Out program. She works to educate communities across the state about lead alternatives, taking special care to visit schools and summer camps. “We really want to reach youth and start them on the right path as lifelong anglers in Minnesota,” she said. Amoth estimated that 25 percent of loons die from the ingestion of lead-based tackle. One study from 2006 surveyed anglers leaving five popular walleye lakes, finding that nearly a metric ton of sinkers had been lost in the depths over the course of a single summer. Lead sitting at the bottom of the lake does not degrade over time, which presents a cumulative risk not only to wildlife, but to human health, Amoth said. There are a few challenges in encouraging anglers to adopt this change. Anglers tend to prefer lead sinkers to metal alternatives because they often perform better, responding more sensitively when there’s a bite on the line. However, tungsten sinkers are already popular among ice fishers. This alternative is considered even more fine-tuned than lead, but also more costly. Amoth encourages anglers to look at it as a long-term investment in higher-quality gear. Get the Lead Out (www.pca.state.mn.us/living-green/nontoxic-tackle-get-lead-out) has compiled a list of manufacturers that make lead-free tackle, many of them local to Minnesota. While Amoth wants anglers to get lead items out of their tackle boxes, she also wants to be clear that they should not go into the garbage. Lead is a toxic material that should be disposed of at hazardous waste sites. Part of Get the Lead Out’s initiative includes tackle exchanges that offer lead-free alternatives and collect lead items for proper disposal. Although in-person events have mostly halted under COVID-19 safety measures, Amoth looks forward to a time this spring or summer when these events will be available to communities across Minnesota, including the Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake areas. The authors of HF157 and SF247, the companion House and Senate bills, are still hammering out the exact details regarding size restrictions on lead tackle, but it’s close to fi nal, Fischer said. The bill is expected to be included in an omnibus House policy bill from the Environment and Natural Resources Policy Committee.

Hometown Newspaper

his local newspaper got its start more than 46 years ago Shoreview Press, informing residents and tourists in the area about important happenings. Today, residents of Shoreview have countless social media apps like Nextdoor, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter that also provide information. Some of the content imparted by these apps is local and newsworthy; much of it contributes to the spread of gossip, rumors and even hate speech. Local information is a great thing when it is truthful and can help residents make decisions. The problem with social media is the uncontrolled, unregulated and unguided posts. On a regular basis, apps take down posts or edit data unannounced. What we hear most often from readers is they appreciate local coverage, and know we follow journalistic guidelines. Our feature stories and the consistent reporting of city council, school board and other local meetings is information that you don’t get from any other media platform. Long time readers love the paper. Some residents are still trying to wrap their heads around a free community newspaper. Our family-owned group of local Publisher’s newspapers focuses on community View happenings, schools and local government. As a resident, you don’t have Carter Johnson the time to attend all of the local meetings that affect you, from watershed district, di i city i council, planning commission, county board to school board meetings. You can trust our reporters to fill that role, and that’s why the newspaper is valued. Our journalists often are the only other person in these meetings‚—other than the elected officials— who are there taking notes. Their reporting on the proceedings is trustworthy. You won’t see black-suited Google folks or Facebook staffers at any of your local meetings. As recent lawsuits against these media giants suggest, they have been stealing content from local newspapers and media companies for years. They sell ads next to our content and we get nothing for our unique, copyrighted stories and photos. We help you navigate the endless supply of junk information and distinguish the real news that matters to you. We reflect your community every other week in the pages of the paper in print and online. We provide up-to-date, organic content that no one else does. We are able to provide hyper-local news and information because of the support from our readers in the form of a subscription. Twice a year we ask readers to support your hometown newspaper with a subscription. Why subscribe to something that you already get for free? Simply put, if no one subscribes, we can’t provide the product. We are among a few newspapers nationally utilizing the hybrid of asking for voluntary subscription. Most “free” papers have had to move to subscriptions to stay alive. If you are an online news junkie, you know most news outlets require a payment after a couple of page views or to access the stories you really want to read. Your subscription helps offsets the rising costs of delivery, labor and health care, technology and sustainable newsprint. Perhaps most critically, subscriptions help us employ professional journalists who provide our readers a newspaper rich in relevant, local topics while recording history. We need your support through a subscription now more than ever. Like many local businesses, the pandemic has hit us hard. Currently about 6% of Shoreview Press readers subscribe; our goal to be sustainable is 15%. If you have read or learned something that was beneficial to your family or life in our community newspaper, I would like to ask you to subscribe today by calling our office, filling out the envelope or flyer that is in our newspapers or subscribe online at presspubs.com.

Protecting our Kids

s a Minnesota kid living in the shadow of Jacob Wetterling’s disappearance, I remember vividly the warnings about “stranger danger.” The reality, however, is that children are more likely to be harmed by someone they know, someone in their circle of trust. Unfortunately, we have many Legislator examples of this, including some Lingo that hit close to home. Jamie BeckerIn recent years, Finn we learned more about the abuse off h hundreds d d off girls training with the USA Gymnastics team, over many years, with over 300 known victims. As I learned more about this systemic abuse, I couldn’t help but wonder how this was

allowed to happen, how it was allowed to go on for so many years. The devastating reality is that the abuse ﬂourished because other adults allowed it to continue. This led me to our mandated reporting statute and I was stunned to realize that Minnesota’s current law does not extend to coaches and instructors outside of school or childcare settings. As a mom of kids who play club soccer, my next thought was “how do I keep my kids safe? And how do I keep other kids safe?” At the beginning of the legislative session, I introduced House File 310 to try to do just that. The bill expands mandated reporting requirements to include more employees who have face-to-face contact with children, including club sport coaches, scout leaders, church employees, and other youth supervisors and instructors. We must make sure that those who have authority

over our kids, and have earned their trust, know they have the obligation to report suspected abuse. Since introducing the bill in January, I learned that a young person I already know was the victim of sexual abuse and that this bill would have made a difference. On March 22nd, with that young person’s support and advocacy, House File 310 passed off the House ﬂoor with nearly unanimous support. Hopefully the Minnesota Senate will follow our lead so that this important bill can become law. A link to the powerful House ﬂoor debate can be found here.

Kids Cooking School now equipped for food, art and crafts classes BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

The pandemic has forced the owner of Kids Cooking School to get even more creative. Kids Cooking School, located at 307 Village Parkway in Circle Pines, has rebranded as “Kids Creative School.” This summer, in addition to cooking classes, the business will also offer art and crafts classes. Lino Lakes resident Tiffany Cavegn opened the business in Lino Lakes in February 2017. Cavegn, a chef and health coach, is the founder of a nonprofit organization, Healthy Strong Kids of Minnesota, whose mission is to provide food assistance to families in need while teaching young people how to cook healthy recipes. After she taught community education classes, she realized there was a need for a local children’s cooking school. The business had to close its doors in September 2018. The Kids Cooking School found a temporary home at Oak Hill Montessori School in Shoreview in 2019. Two weeks before the March 2020 shutdown, Cavegn signed a lease for the school’s new (and current location) in Circle Pines. “Like everyone, it's been challenging for us. We got just enough federal funding last year to make it through the summer,” Cavegn explained. “Due to the nature of classes, when we had to reduce capacity by 50%, it reduced our revenue but did not reduce our expenses. We are currently running at 50% revenue and 110% expenses when you take on the extra sanitizing required and because students can't share anything, so we have to order more individual ingredients.” Every year, Cavegn starts planning summer camps in the fall. At that time, it was unclear whether the same COVID-10 restrictions and protocols would be in place. She began brainstorming ways to increase revenue to avoid closing the business for a second time.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Time to reopen libraries

Today I visited the Ramsey County Library website, thinking that surely I would finally be able to go in and browse the collection I pay significant tax dollars to maintain and browse. But no, it is still closed to those who have submitted a request. Why should I continue paying top-dollar taxes to Ramsey County, which fails to provide the services it was providing through March 2020? It is time to reopen the libraries to public browsing or slash their budgets so I can put my book and movie dollars elsewhere. Browsing is a key function of libraries; if they can't provide it, we should stop paying for it. April King Shoreview

Jocelyn Reeves

“The stars aligned,” and Kids Creative School received a grant from Anoka County to help launch Cavegn’s latest ideas, an art studio and outdoor classroom. “I have been wanting to expand our classes to include unusual arts and crafts, the kind you see on Pinterest but not in your typical art classrooms,” she explained. One of the tenants down the hall from Kids Creative School closed its doors, so the landlord offered Cavegn the space on a month-to-month basis. That new space will allow the business to increase its space. However, Cavegn doesn’t have the capacity to add more cooking stations. Even if the 50% capacity restriction is loosened this summer, Cavegn said there will likely still be capacity limits to make sure social distancing can be maintained. Students likely won’t be able to share ingredients or cook stations. Summer camps include: Food Around the World, Breakfast Buffet, Camping Cuisine, Mad About Macarons, Crazy about Cupcakes, Italian Favorites and more. Art camps, many of which will incorporate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts, will include: Sparkling Mosaic Art, Acrylic & Resin Pours, 3D Printing, Hogwarts Paper Models and Craft My Crazy. The school attracts students from various school districts, including Centennial, White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Forest Lake, Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, Roseville, Maplewood/North Saint Paul/Oakdale and St. Paul. Hugo resident Michelle Allshouse’s son Dylan, a fifth grader, has attended classes at the school for a few

years. “He has always liked helping me in the kitchen. He is more of a creative person and isn’t into sports as much,” Allshouse explained. “I asked him if he would be interested in trying a class. He really liked it, so he just kept doing it.” Even though Dylan is a regular student at the cooking school, he is still able to find new classes that interest him. “He loves Chef Tiffany, and it’s not the same thing over and over again,” she said. “He loves going and meeting new friends. It keeps him busy.” Dylan recently took a cupcakes and hot cocoa bomb class and soon plans to take another class on macarons. This summer, he is also signed up for the Italian Favorites camp. Allshouse said she hasn’t yet asked Dylan whether he wants to try out some of the arts and crafts type of classes, but she guesses he will. Kids Creative School plans to host an open house from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 11, so families can visit the cooking and art studio space, meet staff and try out some of the projects.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

Shoreview • A resident in the 500 block of Harriet Avenue reported a burglary overnight March 13-14, after surveillance photos revealed three suspects entering an apartment building at 5:30 a.m. March 14 and breaking into storage units on the fi rst and second floors. After thieves used a bolt cutter for access, they stole clothing and artwork from one of the units and unidentified items from other units. The investigation has started, after Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies obtained photos of the suspects and their vehicle and

awaited information from the owners of all the storage units. • A Shoreview woman, 31, was arrested at 7:39 p.m. March 16 in the 4000 block of Hodgson Road for interfering with a 911 call, following a domestic. The suspect left the scene after the argument, but later turned herself in and was booked at the law enforcement center. • A resident in the 900 block of Hardwood Avenue on March 18 reported outgoing mail containing a check stolen from her mailbox. The information on the check was fraudulently used eight times amounting to a loss of $900 before the account was closed. The case is under investigation.

• An abandoned bicycle was reported found March 19 at the ball field at Bobbie Theisen Park in the 4600 block of Victoria Street N. and turned in to the Shoreview City Hall. After clearing the National Crime Information Center database, the bicycle was brought to the patrol station property room for safe keeping. • A catalytic converter was reported stolen March 19 from a Toyota Prius parked in a driveway in the 600 block of Highway 96 W. • A resident in the 900 block of Tanglewood Drive at 11:36 p.m. March 19 reported interrupting an attempt to steal the catalytic converter off his Toyota Prius as it was parked in the driveway.

Ramsey County Sheriff’s Deputy Injured in Crash when Struck by Wanted Felon in Stolen Vehicle

On Wednesday, March 17 at approximately 9:45 p.m., Ramsey County sheriff deputies were attempting to locate a suspect in a stolen vehicle that had just fled from Mounds View Police Officers. The suspect vehicle was last seen on Mounds View Boulevard and County Road H approaching the 35W interchange. As a deputy was en route to the area of Highway 10 and 35W to search for the suspect vehicle, the suspect

vehicle struck the deputy’s squad car. The deputy’s squad car had its emergency lights activated and was proceeding through a green light.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Traveling DANCO violation leads to arrest A Roseville man, 53, faces up to five years in jail and/or a maximum $10,000 fine for felony violation of a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order (DANCO) on March 9 – exactly one year after he was originally served with the third such order. The subject has two prior qualified domestic violance-related convictions within the past 10 years – both involving the same victim. On March 9, 2021, deputies were called out to the Exxon station at 3854 Lexington Avenue on a couple arguing near a vehicle. As deputies approached the subjects, the male got into the car and began to drive off, but was stopped when deputies activated their air horn. While deputies were talking with the victim, the suspect hopped into the car again and drove off successfully. Deputies gave chase for a short period before giving up to return to the victim, who had also left the gas station. While deputies were on their computer verifying the subjects' records and identification, a different deputy located both parties near an underground apartment garage in Roseville. The suspect got into the car and once again tried to escape deputies, but had no where to go but into the garage. Deputies later located him in the corner of the garage and arrested him. The victim told deputies that back at the gas station the suspect wouldn't let her out of his car to get to a women's shelter in Brainerd.

deputy, who arrived on scene shortly after the crash, reported there was a heavy cloud of smoke and debris scattered over all lanes of traffic. Deputies, officers, fi refighters, and medics responded to the scene, began rendering aid, and closed the intersection. The deputy was transported to a local hospital and admitted with serious injuries. The driver of the third vehicle was not injured. The suspect was also transported to a local hospital.

The stolen vehicle was driven by an individual with an active felony warrant for fleeing police in a motor vehicle and a lengthy criminal history, including several felony convictions for motor vehicle theft, assault, domestic assault, fleeing police in a motor vehicle, drugs, and burglary. The Minnesota State Patrol will conduct a crash reconstruction. No additional information is available. Press Release

SHOREVIEW CITY COUNCIL SNIPPETS • With the current COVID-19 relief package signed into law, Shoreview Council Member Terry Quigley was wondering if the new package would benefit the city with any revenue loss due to the pandemic. Shoreview City Manager Terry Schwerm explained the difference between The Cares Act and The American Rescue Plan during the March 15 City Council meeting. He said the big difference is The American Rescue Plan will have money allocated for local governments. “This is quite a bit of money and would benefit Shoreview because it will be allowed for revenue

We wanted them to feel very welcome,” Martin said. “They're very happy to be in this beautiful home and are very pleased to be here.” • A tree sale is occurring now in the city of Shoreview until April 16, and Council Member Emy Johnson said residents should visit the city website and take a look. Residents can purchase trees at wholesale prices with some of the trees selling as low as $24. • The City Council unanimously approved the rezoning, preliminary plat and PUD – development stage applications for Kath Fuel Oil Service to redevelop the property at 3467 Rice Street with a fuel station/convenience store/car wash. Casey Beaton, representing Holiday Station stores, wanted to thank the council for the opportunity for this

site. “We're excited to be able to redevelop this with the existing owner and try to provide something that's a little newer and up to current standards,” Beaton said. Council Member Denkinger asked what the timeline would be from to start and finish with the construction of the project. Beaton said if everything goes as planned, construction will take place throughout the summer with an opening planned in the fall. Council Member Cory Springhorn asked if there would be hot dogs at the new store and said, “I haven't had a Holiday hot dog in over a year, and I don't have them often.” Beaton's answer was, “Yes, as long as the CDC allows it.” The next City Council meeting will be Monday, April 5. The meeting will be held virtually. Noelle Olson

Seeing Easter in a new way

EASTER BY THE NUMBERS

ife has been a challenge for everyone lately. One of the things that I hear frequently in this pandemic existence is the need for good self-care for our entire bodies and beings. Upon hearing this message I realized that it had been ages since I had an eye exam to check on the health of my vision. After a through exam it was determined that my eyes were healthy and my vision had only changed slightly. We decided to upgrade my lens prescription, but no multi-level reading lenses were needed…yet. These new lenses have given me a new perspective! One of the blessings of good vision (and the correct lens prescription) is the ability to see clearly. Good vision gives us the right perspective and enables us to function well. However, when we first try out a new prescription, we may find that it takes a while to get used to the corrected vision. The Easter season is a time of adjusting to a new vision. This amazing story of the Resurrection invites us to “see” the world in which we live with the eyes Pastor of hope and newness. It is through this Easter story Ponderings that we discover that God has done an incredible The tomb has been emptied. Death has been Renee Patterson work. defeated. This story is the reason that on the Sunday of the Resurrection our hearts fill with joy and our voices soar with the hymns of new life. A new world has been born, a new vision has been given, and a new way of living has been prescribed. Yay God! This is an extraordinary time for humanity. Many of us never imagined we would be doing life (or ministry) in these types of ways, trying to stay connected while isolated, figuring out how to be (and worship) together yet distanced. Maybe that’s why I am SO looking forward to Easter this year as I welcome this new way of seeing the world through Easter lenses that offer the hope of a new perspective. Because I have recently learned that a new perspective is important and that the right perspective can make all the difference in the world. Praise be to God for that!

Shoreview sailor headed for Olympics BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

When Lara Weiss was very young, her mother, Sue, gave her a book that inspired a dream. And that dream came true last month. “I’ve wanted to be an Olympian since I was very young,” she told Shoreview Press. “My mom got me a book that highlighted successful female athletes, which made me see it as a possibility, and I’ve always carried the dream with me.” The Shoreview native, now Lara Dallman-Weiss of Miami, and partner Nikki Barnes recently earned the USA’s slot in sailing for the summer Olympics slated for July in Japan. Dallman-Weiss and Barnes, sailing as Team Perfect Vision, were one of three American teams still in contention for one Olympics berth when they raced at the 470 World Championship Regatta in Vilamoura, Portugal, concluding March 13. This was the last of three races that served as Olympic trials. Dallman-Weiss and Barnes beat the other two American teams while placing seventh of 27 teams overall. “My initial reaction was sheer pride and joy,” Dallman-Weiss said. “Our team has worked unbelievably hard over the past three years and we performed like we knew how when it counted.” There’s not much room or time to savor the achievement now, she said, as they continue to train hard. Next is the European Championship slated for April 30 to May7. Beyond that, their schedule is COVID dependent. Their Olympic event is sched-

uled for late July in Enoshima, Japan. Dallman-Weiss started sailing at age six at White Bear Yacht Club, where her father, John Weiss, the lead race officer on White Bear Lake, was her first coach. She attended Oak Hill Montessori, Island Lake Elementary, Chippewa Middle School, and Mounds View High School (Class of 2007). At MVHS, she was a member of a state champion track team), running the 4-by-800 relay and 1600. Otherwise, she dabbled in several sports: cross country in grades 9,10, and 12 (varsity as a senior), Viewettes dance team as a junior, basketball in grades 9-10. Her long-term commitments were sailing every sum-

mer, and dancing with Larkin Dance Studio from ages 3 to 13. At Eckerd College in St Petersburg, FL, majoring in nutrition, she was captain of the sailing team and placed third in the women’s national collegiate meet. Continuing to sail, Dallman-Weiss had a big year in 2016, winning Key West Race Week (C&C 30 Class), Etchells Pacific Coast Championships (as main trimmer), and North American (40 class, Flash Gordon) titles. After that, she sailed in several professional circuits on “other people’s boats” and started working in sailing media, which eventually led to drone flying to help teams analyze their performance.

“I still sailed, but less, since I was more in the coaching role, until I came back to my Olympic dream,”she explained. Dallman-Weiss met Nikki Barnes in April of 2018 and they started sailing together competitively. Barnes, a Coast Guard officer, lives in her St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. Dallman-Weiss lists her occupation as athlete, as does Barnes, who has a dispensation from the Coast Guard to pursue her Olympic goal. “Aside from all of the rigorous training of being an elite athlete,” Dallman-Weiss said, “we also manage our entire campaign, which includes shipping boats around the world, scheduling travel, and raising money to fund the entire project.” A year ago, the American teams were in Spain for the 2020 world championships when the event was canceled amid the rise in COVID-19 cases, which delayed the Olympics for a year. That delay seemed to work in their favor. They used the time to train in Santander, on the north coast of Spain, and in the Canary Islands. “During the COVID time … we were able to train with these incredible teams, in really hard conditions,” Barnes told her hometown paper in St. Thomas. “It was all about just the time to put our heads down and get the work done.” Dallman-Weiss is the second MVHS graduate to earn a spot in the Olympics, joining Kyra Condie, 24, who qualified in Rock Climbing for the 2020 Olympics in Japan which were delayed for a year (featured in the Shoreview Press in February 2020).

short films which can be seen on YouTube under Brandon H Lee. The Grand Master is thrilled. “One of my dreams was to be an actor,” Yong Hyeok Lee confesses, “but I could not pursue it. I want to support my son’s passion.” Lee is 22 years old, 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds. At MVHS, he was a long jumper and sprinter on the track team and went out for football as a senior, where he played wide receiver. He didn’t take part in any stage productions there, but his entertainment inclinations go back to age 3, when he found himself enthralled by a Jackie Chan movie.

“I was trying to copy him for about three hours, and wound up breaking my leg!” he said. “So, my father knew I had a passion for that.” While he was growing up, he evoked remarks from friends and relatives that he would wind up an actor. Putting himself out there in martial arts all those years was good preparation. “I’ve been in Tae Kwon Do since I was 3,” Lee said. “Obviously, my father coached me. I was born into it.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com March was a nice bounce back month after the cold February we experienced. Temperatures not only rebounded but rebounded in a big way. We ﬁnished 8º warmer than normal with major snowfalls passing off to our south. What did fall was usually in the way of rain, with a nice soaking 1.5 inch rain total on March 23-24. This past weekends rain, although steady, totaled around .25". With the warmth and the rain came very early ice outs on the area big lakes. We have some above normal temperatures for us to enjoy as we enter April. Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.
