The Vadnais Inn is issuing one last call for beer and burgers. The historic neighborhood bar in Vadnais Heights will close July 28 to make way for the new Rice Street bridge interchange. The bar goes back nearly 100 years. In recent years, it has been run by a couple whose romance budded at the bar. Kris John met her late husband Butch while he was working and she was a patron. He worked at the bar for about 30 years before he passed away two years ago. She has been working at the bar for about 25 years. Over the years and amidst 21st-century development, the bar has retained its local neighborhood feel and has a lot of regular customers. “I’ve met many, many people over the years and it is fun — like family,” John said. On Sunday, regulars gather and play the jukebox. The bar also has pool tables and dart boards. Bartender Ron Lee has been coming to and working at the Vadnais Inn on SEE VADNAIS INN, PAGE 2

and off for 47 years, with three different owners. “There’s not many places like this left anymore,” he said. Customers are at a loss and have been asking where they can go to drink, Kris added. John hopes to bring in bands throughout the bar’s final weeks and will hold a final party during the afternoon and evening of July 21. The building will be demolished by the county when it begins construction of the Rice Street bridge interchange. John said she didn’t really have a say on losing the Vadnais Inn. She owns the business but rented the building. Ramsey County offered to give her compensation to relocate or a “very small buyout,” she said. She took the buyout, but it won’t get her by for long. She didn’t want to share the small number. There was no reason to get a lawyer to fight the loss because she knew she’d lose due to eminent domain, she added. She has no plans yet. Perhaps an opportunity will pop up in the area, she said. After all: “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” — Musician Dan Wilson, “Closing Time”
Bar goes back to Depression era
Another woman operated the bar as Toot’s Tavern in the 1930s. In 1932, Emily Millette was left alone with four children after her 36-year-old husband Gilbert passed away. “Times were tough, and she was quite young,” said her granddaughter Kathy McClure. Emily’s parents David and Emily Guerin stepped in and gave her The Spot property, which had been operated as a convenience store and tavern. Guerin also owned a gas station on the corner.

Emily operated the convenience store and tavern for about a decade and lived in a house next door that is no longer there. She married Dick Fenstermaker in 1936 and they operated the tavern together. They had one child together. The children helped clean before going to school in White Bear Lake, said Emily’s son Richard Millette. “We had to get up in the morning and then go through the tavern and do our work that we had to do,” he remembered. On weekends, they would mop and fi ll coolers. “It started as a little convenience store, penny candy and ice cream and went into a beer joint,” Millette remembered.

Street and turned into a house in the 1940s. Caroline Nacey (Andert) lived in the house with her parents and three siblings for two years in the mid-1940s while attending North Heights Christian school down Rice Street. There was no bathtub and no hot water. She took a bath in the laundry tub. The place was heated by a stove. Caroline and her brother would walk the railroad tracks collecting fallen coal chunks because coal was hard to purchase during the war. Next, one of Emily’s sons, Hank, and his wife Peggy moved into the bar turned house. Granddaughter McClure lived there until she was 10 years old, from 1948 to 1958. She went back inside last year for the fi rst time. Outside, it looked much the same as it does today, except for the red color, she said. It was white with a blue roof. Inside, it still has some of the same features. “The kitchen cabinets are just exactly where they were located when I lived there,” she said. There was no freeway next to the place as there is today. The children would slide down the hill in the wooded backyard. Where Caribou is today was another neighborhood bar. McClure lived with her younger sister Renee in the house. When more siblings came, they moved near Lake Owasso. The building was eventually reopened as a bar.

Park Rx
ur eyes were hazed and our brains were boggled after a couple hours of paperwork and screenwork on our budget. I dug out the Park Rx kit I had picked up at Ramsey County Library - White Bear Lake earlier that week and my husband and I were soon biking past the Minnesota River and Mississippi River on a glee-filled escape to the outdoors where everything seems much simpler. We didn’t even have to fork out $7 to get into the park, something our budget back home appreciated. Our eyes appreciated the sites of summer and our brains soaked up the fresh air. The Park Rx kit is a free community resource aiming to get families Story out and about. Chaser There are 10 kits at Ramsey County Library - White Bear Lake Sara Marie Moore that contain a seven-day state park pass, information on the state’s 75 parks k and d recreation areas, and “Vitamin N: 500 Ways to Enrich the Health and Happiness of Your Family and Community and Combat Nature-Deficit Disorder” by Richard Louv. About a decade ago when the phrase “nature-deficit disorder” rose to prominence, I found it rather trivial. Then I worked at a daycare full of likely nature-deficit children, whose playground was in a back parking lot. Some of the children huddled around dandelions that grew in the cracks by the fence. The wood chips were the favorite toys of others. I also caught up with the smartphone crowd and realized how easy it was to be stuck to a screen that can access anything, anywhere. I see youth everywhere staring at phones and pads. I wonder what it would be like to be a kid with a portable screen of endless stimulation and games. I was a child in the days of Mr. Rogers, Pac-Man and Mario Brothers — and few other screen options. Instead, I caught frogs or joined a neighborhood game of capture-the-flag in the woods. I was blessed to grow up where the great outdoors were accessible and with parents who knew how to limit screen time, even in those simpler days. Today, it is much more challenging to spend time outdoors. But it is essential to the well-being of both children and adults. Humans have a natural instinct to engage with nature, not to mention the importance of exercise. “Nature-deficit disorder” is not meant to be a description of a medical condition but rather a phrase to describe the human need to experience the earth. With multiplying screens and mounting materialism, it’s easy to enter the nature-deficit camp. Enter Park Rx, a national movement to bring families outdoors. The local kits are sponsored by a grant from the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation in partnership with Ramsey County Library, Minnesota State Parks and Trails and BearPower, a northeast metro initiative to keep families active. The kits may expand to other Ramsey County libraries if the pilot program is successful. They cannot be requested and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They can be checked out for seven days, so plan ahead early in the week. They cannot be renewed. Residents of Anoka, Washington and other metro counties can use their county library card through an agreement with the Metropolitan Library Service Agency. Crossing a bridge to Pike Island, we happened upon a tree with a hollow trunk. Its fresh green leaves reached to the sky. We stepped inside and just stood there for a bit, taking in the hug from nature. We jumped swiftly back onto our bikes. They were due in several minutes at the Nice Ride kiosk or we’d be charged another $6. Our budget back home would appreciate it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Second Amendment truth Second Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” When “Second Amendment rights” are discussed, this plainly says bring your weapons to National Guard meetings; you’ll be given instructions to protect Minnesota. Five Supreme Court rulings said that. Even the pro-gun Roberts court (Scalia): “Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited… courts routinely explained..the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever, and for whatever purpose..nothing in our opinion should..cast doubt on..laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.” Supreme Court Chief Justice Burger (Republican): the Second Amendment “has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud—I repeat the word ‘fraud’—on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen.” In March 2010, the D.C. Circuit Court said registration procedures, prohibition of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices didn’t violate the Second Amendment. A June 12 letter by Chris Wolff containing several mistruths suggested you vote Republican. I would agree, vote Republican if you want: to continue steadily increasing insanity from Nixon - Reagan Bush II - Trump regimes; to disarm government so it can’t enforce any laws; more global warming; more obscenely rich tax cuts; unregulated pollution; your tax dollars unconstitutionally financing private schools; your government run by billionaires; to totally discount the science of anything; continue a church-led cultural war tearing neighbors apart; continue demonizing people; continue a rich-rigged economy; continue bailing out Wall Street crooks; continue medical bills bankrupting people; continue your country being disgraced; a country where two plus two equals five; continue the corruption of “reform”—by all means, vote Republican. Republican-led states are going bankrupt. The last Republican governor did that to Minnesota. Why do that again? Tom Dolen Shoreview
Reasonable gun laws do not repeal second amendment
Chris Wolff, in his letter “On the Second Amendment”, published on June 17, claims that everyone working for any legislation associated with gun violence is truly working to repeal the second amendment. As one person associated with two different groups promoting reasonable gun laws to alleviate our public health crisis, I can attest that this is not the case. Over the past two years, my appreciation for law-abiding gun owners has grown. Many of them, just like those of us who do not own guns, feel that background checks are essential. Ninety percent of Minnesotans, including many who own guns, support comprehensive checks. Many of them are extremely careful about keeping their guns secured. Many of them agree that curtailing sales of AR-15s and bump stocks are good ideas. Many of them favor raising the age to buy a gun to 21. So, when, Wolff asks, “if you are a Democrat and own a gun, then how can you vote Democratic now?” The answer may be pretty simple for Democrats or Republicans who are not content with the status quo — the “do nothing” approach to the epidemic of gun violence in our country. Wolff sites a statistic that 66 percent of millennials agree that more concealed carry guns would make society safer. The article containing that statistic, “Are Millennials Moving Right on Guns?” by Ben Wofford in Politico Magazine, Oct. 12, 2017, also states that millennials are the demographic group least likely to own a gun, least likely to support the NRA, and most likely to favor a national gun registry. So, the millennial vote on gun issues may be hard to predict. The vote of this year’s high school graduates is not. There seem to be many reasonable advances we can make in promoting safe ownership of guns without threatening the rights of people to protect themselves. At a time when the American people are on edge, distrustful and even antagonistic towards one another, how can we think that adding more guns into the situation is our best option? Lori Delahunt North Oaks
Join Army if you want assault rifle Before Chris Wolff (Shoreview Press letter to the editor June 21) gets too paranoid he ought to read the second amendment. It reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This country has not depended upon a militia, well-regulated or otherwise, for its security since the War of 1812 when the militia ran like rabbits and let the British regulars burn the White House. There is no need to repeal the second amendment because it became irrelevant more than two hundred years ago. There is a long list of arms that the people are not allowed to keep and bear. These include machine guns, artillery pieces, tanks, fighter jets, ballistic missiles, etc. Those of us who are concerned about stopping the murder of our kids intend to add high-capacity magazines, assault rifles and bump stocks to that list. If folks like Wolff must carry assault rifles then I insist that they join the Army to do so. Assuming that they can qualify, I am sure that the Army would be glad to have them. In the meantime, we need to remove from legislative office folks from either party who won’t vote to outlaw bump stocks, high-capacity clips and assault rifles. At present, this includes Rep. Randy Jessup. Greg Gross Shoreview

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
North Oaks • The carcass of a dead cat was reported on the north shoulder of westbound Highway 96 early in the morning June 4. Actually, it was the remains of a large snapping turtle. North Oaks Public Works Department was notified. • A Pine Road resident called 911 the morning of May 31 to report a suspicious male in her neighborhood. Deputies responded and found the man, by then walking down North Mallard Road, not far away. The 31-year-old, who said he had walked to North Oaks from Centuria, Wisconsin, was booked into jail on a trespassing charge after he told deputies he wasn’t sure why he was in the area. • A part of a camera was discovered installed in a public restroom by a worker performing routine maintenance at the Waverly Gardens senior home in the 5900 block of Centerville Road June 7. An investigation is underway. • Dogs on Dogwood Lane, no strangers to county Animal Control, were written up again on June 10. The 55-year-old owner of the pair of black labs is looking at charges of mistreatment of animals, unlicensed dogs, dogs not under control and public nuisance after the pair’s latest four-hour romp through their neighborhood.
Shoreview • Eleven ducklings were pulled out of a sewer drain the morning of May 31 on West Royal Oaks Drive, reunited with Mom and relocated to a nearby marsh by members of the Shoreview Public Works Department where they can play “follow the leader” without putting their lives on the line. • A 23-year-old Gramsie Court woman told deputies she had suffered bruises and scratches on her throat at the hands of her 33-year-old boyfriend after a fight June 3. The 22-year-old northeast Minneapolis man was charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation and booked into jail. • An Asbury Street resident called about a possibly sick opossum in her backyard the morning of June 3 that has not moved since the day before. That’s maybe because the opossum is dead. The woman was given a list of wildlife contractors that can take care of the matter. • A small bird — perhaps a swallow — created a stir at Island Lake Elementary School around lunchtime June 5 when it flew around the lunchroom despite efforts by maintenance and kitchen staff to dispel the intruder. The school resource officer equipped himself with a lift and a hand net and managed to chase the little bird out a window. • Acting on a tip, deputies arrested a man and a woman — both wanted on warrants — in the 1500 block of Hall Street. The 38-year-old Shoreview woman was wanted on a warrant for felony possession of drugs and harboring a fugitive, and the 35-year-old Columbia Heights man on a felony warrant for violating an order for protection. • A Sauk Rapids woman left her vehicle parked in the 1500 block of Hall Street overnight June 2. In the morning the 37-year-old found a broken window and
her purse containing change, various IDs and regular purse stuff, gone. • A Royal Oaks Drive man, who was being processed in the holding jail June 5 on a state Department of Corrections warrant for felony aggravated robbery, gave up two baggies of white powder hidden in his anal cavity, which later tested positive as meth. • A driver left his vehicle for repairs overnight June 5 at North Suburban Auto Care in the 400 block of Highway 96, giving the key to an employee on the scene. The 2010 Volkswagen Beetle was taken overnight and found damaged the next morning, three blocks away. An investigation is underway. • A homeowner on Snail Lake Boulevard looked out her front window June 6 and saw two packages that had been delivered and left on her porch. She figured she’d get them later. Later, the smaller of the two was gone. She brought in the larger box and everything she was expecting was accounted for. So what was in the other box? • An employee at a gas station in the 3400 block of Rice Street called 911 the morning of June 7 about a vehicle that had been at the pump for a very long time. A responding deputy found the driver wrapped around the steering wheel, asleep. The 34-year-old South St. Paul man with a criminal record was found to be in possession of a baggie of meth, a pipe, burglary tools and a clip holding 9 mm ammunition. • A driver left his vehicle in the Red Robin parking lot on Gramsie Road with the keys inside overnight June 8. The next morning the car was gone. It was recovered later that day in a nearby hotel lot with backseat damage and impounded. An investigation continues. • An argument over how much TV the kids should be watching June 8 led to a falling out between mom and dad on Hall Street. Mom, 28, was treated for facial bruises and dad, 39, was on his way to jail on charges of domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct. • A thief with took two bottles of Grey Goose vodka and two bottles of Patron tequila in his jacket before leaving the liquor store the evening of June 9 in the 400 block of Highway 96. The high-end booze was valued at a total of $148. • Teens approached deputies in a fast-food parking lot shortly after midnight June 11 about a girl with them who had passed out from alcohol consumption. The 17-year-old was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Teens and adults alike are reminded that you won’t be charged with a crime when you save someone from a life-threatening situation. • A thief cut the cables on three iPhones the afternoon of June 11 at Target on Lexington Avenue, made for the door and fled the scene on foot. The young male was wearing a black Nike sweatshirt, according to witnesses. • A deputy stopped a driver for expired license plate tabs on June 11. In addition to the expired plates, the 56-year-old Minneapolis man was cited for driving after license suspension, no insurance and a broken windshield. His vehicle was impounded. • A 64-year-old local woman went for a walk in Snail Lake Regional Park June 12 while a prowler broke her $300 car window, making off with her $12 reading glasses.

Father’s Day weekend proves to be a deadly one
Leadership event for girls
Drive safely this summer
Local agencies participate in seat belt safety campaign
Father’s Day weekend had 11 traffic fatalities in eight fatal crashes on Minnesota roads Friday through Sunday. Five of the 11 people who died were riding motorcycles, another five were motorists and one was a pedestrian. The 11 fatalities on Minnesota roads were the most in one weekend since Oct. 14-16, 2016. Seven out of the 11 fatalities occurred in the 7-county metro. Alcohol is suspected in two crashes and drugs is suspected in two others. One of the victims was unbelted. Four of the crashes were speed-related. Nine of the victims were male and two were female. Most of the victims were 34 to 81 years old with one age unknown. Memorial Day through Labor Day marks the 100 deadliest days on Minnesota roads. Preliminary numbers show the 100-day stretch last year accounted for 121 of 358 fatalities, making up 34 percent of all traffic deaths in 2017. Only four of 19 killed in motorcycle accidents last year were wearing helmets. It is suggested that riders wear brightly-colored protective gear, including a helmet. Riders should be prepared for inattentive drivers and unexpected road situations and keep their speed in check. Motorists should always look twice for motorcyclists before entering a roadway or changing lanes as their speed and distance can be difficult to judge. Motorists should also give riders enough room and drive at safe speeds.

The session from 9 a.m. to noon is for girls in fi fth through eighth grade and the session from 1 to 4 p.m. is for high school students. Lunch will be provided at noon for all participants.

The White Bear Lake Police Department and Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office were among 300 law enforcement agencies statewide that participated in the Click It or Ticket extra enforcement campaign from May 21 to June 3. During the two-week extra enforcement wave, officers, deputies and troopers from 318 agencies reported 6,684 seat belt citations and 147 child seat violations. The number of citations declined for the fourth year in a row. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office gave 86 citations and the White Bear Lake Police Department gave 62. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety coordinated the enhanced enforcement and education efforts and provided federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for extra patrols. Minnesota law states that drivers and passengers in all seating positions must be buckled up or seated in the correct child safety seat.

WOMEN’S ACADEMY: Communications and critical thinking key skills in law enforcement FROM PAGE 1
of jobs within the offi ce, including probation and child support offi cers, dispatchers and clerical staff positions. They also were shown how to apply for jobs in the offi ce. Mary Chazen, of the St. Paul neighborhood Frogtown, said the academy increased her interest in the profession and plans to update her resume and apply for a community service officer position. “I love to help other people — anyone less or more fortunate than myself,” she said. Removing preconceived notions about the profession and mental barriers from the way girls were raised, the types of toys they were given and infl uences on their thinking of career possibilities is the goal of the academy, Serier said. There are no physical limitations, either — petite women can be taught physical techniques to restrain anyone who is dangerous. Besides, communication and critical think-
ing is the bulk of the work. “The vast majority of the work in law enforcement happens between your brain and your mouth,” Serier said. “Some of the best police officers I have witnessed in my career to date have been women.” The women’s academy is one part of the offi ce’s efforts to hire more diverse staff to better reflect the community — the most diverse county in Minnesota, Serier said. Fifty-six percent of those who have been hired as deputies, correctional officers and community service officers since January 2017 are women or people of color. About 140 staff have been hired over the last 16 months, many of them correctional officers to increase staffi ng at the county jail. The county jail is now the first in the state where a majority of staff members are women or people of color, Serier said. Thirty percent of the correctional offi cers are women. Thirty-two percent are people of color. The inmates even

notice and comment, “Hey, this is really a diverse place where you got us,” Serier said. The staff diversity helps all staff understand and relate with inmates from different cultural backgrounds.

Mustangs 0-2 at state baseball; almost toppled champs Mounds View almost upset the eventual state champion in the fi rst round of the state baseball tournament but lost both games at state, finishing with a 17-11 record. The Section 5AAAA champion Mustangs lost to Stillwater 3-2 on a run in the last of the seventh on June 14 at CHS Field in St. Paul. They took a 2-1 lead when Carter Traczyk’s double knocked in two runs in the third inning. That’s all they would get against Andrew Gilbert, who gave up just five hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out 10, and Cody Venske, who got the fi nal out. Joshua Bonde pitched the distance
for Mounds View, allowing only three hits while striking out four, but walking five. Bonde hit a batter with bases loaded in the fi fth, tying the score 2-2. In the last of the seventh, Stillwater’s Mason Schwerzler walked, was bunted to second and scored on a single pinch-hitter Benjamin Borman. Stillwater, a conference rival, was 3-0 against the Mustangs on the season. The Ponies went on to defeat Blaine 4-3 in the semifi nals and Minnetonka 4-0 in the fi nals, fi nishing 24-3 with 20 straight wins. The Mustangs also lost their consolation game to Wayzata 11-4 on June 15.

Mustang baseball honors listed; Koehn led in several categories BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Ty Koehn led the Mounds View baseball team in most hitting categories and was one of three Mustangs named all-conference. Koehn, senior outfielder and pitcher, led with a .469 batting average, 28 runs, 15 stolen bases, and .557 on-base-percentage. He had 15 walks and 16 RBI. His 38 hits included two doubles, one triple and one homer — which came in his last game, a three-run shot in the state tournament. Koehn’s batting average ranked third-best, his OBP fourth and his stolen bases fourth in Mustang statistics dating back to 2000, reports coach Mark Downing. Also making all-conference were junior John Solfest and senior Carter Traczyk. Getting honorable mention were senior Joshua Bonde, sophomore Brett Bateman and senior Joey Lawson. The Mustangs were Section 5AAAA champions, with Batemann, Bonde, Koehn and Traczyk named all-section. Bonde and Koehn were named to the coaches association all-star game rosters, with Traczyk as an alternate. Koehn made the coaches all-state team and the Star-Tribune all-metro second team. The Mustangs were 0-2

The team’s 231 hits included 195 singles, 32 doubles, two triples and two homers. Bonde led the pitching staff with a 5-1 record, 1.87 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 48.7 innings. Kyle Folska was 2-1 with a 2.55 ERA, Koehn 3-2 and 2.75, Solfest 2-2 and 3.14 and Bateman 3-1 and 3.33. Folska and Bateman each had two
saves. Folska got the team’s Josh LaValle Award (class, commitment, unselfish contribution). The Mustangs fielding percentage was .957, the second-best figure since 2000. With a combined 3.6 grade-point-average, the Mustangs were one of nine teams in the state with Gold academic status. Making academic all-state were Lawson, Channing Ciole and Ben Jepko.

Mustang vaulter Fixsen heads for world meet, after 2nd-place at nationals against college stars BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
It’s onward and upward for Julia Fixsen. Mounds View’s two-time state champion pole vaulter has now conquered national competition and is headed for a world meet. After snagging her second state gold with a state record 13 feet, 9 1/4 inches to cap her junior year on June 9, Fixsen placed second with 13-11 1/4 (or 4.30 meters, as it’s listed there) at the USA Track and Field Junior Championships in Bloomington, IN, on June 17. “This is only the beginning,” was Fixsen’s comment after nationals, according to her coach, Matt Fleigle. Fixsen was competing mainly with college stars there and the only one who beat her was Rachel Baxter of Virginia Tech, who vaulted 14-1 1/4 on her third attempt to take the lead from Fixsen, then raised the bar to 14-6 and cleared that also. Baxter, who had placed fourth in this year’s NCAA meet with 14-0, won her fourth straight title in the junior nationals. Fixsen, who qualified for nationals by beating the standard of 13-3 1/4 during high school season, advances to the International Association of Athletics Federation World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland. The pole vaulters will compete July 10 and 12. “She did beat all the other high school girls in the competition,” said Fleigle, mentioning Nastassja Campbell of Texas (whose PR is 14-0) and Chloe Cunliffe of Washington (whose PR is 13-8 1/2). “The meet was really close, and easily the toughest Julia has ever been in.” At 4.15 meters, six girls remained. Fixsen made that height on her third attempt, moving into to third place. At 4.20 meters, with five girls left, Fixsen suc-

ceeded on her second attempt, which moved her to second place, because Baxter and Sophie Franklin of Michigan State needed their third attempts. At 4.25 meters (13-11 1/4), with four girls left, she was the only one to clear on her second attempt, giving
her the lead. At 4.30 meters, with three left, Fixsen, as the leader, was able to watch the other two go before her, and when Franklin missed her third try, it clinched a worlds berth (top two) for Fixsen. At the world meet, pole vault will be held July 10 (preliminaries) and July 12 (fi nals). Fleigle, a member of the Mounds View coaching staff, is a huge factor in Fixsen’s success, her mother stated. “Coach Matt is the reason why Julia fell in love with the sport as an 8th grader,” said Laura Fixsen, “and continues to be an incredible coach, teacher, encourager, and motivator to this day.” Fixsen’s super season came after massive training with not only Matt Fleigle but also his dad and wife as they teamed up for the process of “deconstructing” her vault (Fleigle’s word) and building it back up. Robin Fleigle, the Mustang boys sprint coach, gave her speed training. Esther Fleigle mentored her on take-off drills with a stiff pole, a difficult process. There was also focus on “neuro load” in weight training. It added up to a grueling five-daysper-week regimen for Fixsen, who had a slow start due to all the changes, but by mid-June, when the meets start to count, she was ready. “What she is doing is definitely remarkable,” Fleigle said. “This last year, Julia has evolved as a young lady and as a person. Her composure on and off of the runway is something her and her parents should be very proud of.” Fixsen is a fierce competitor, Fleigle said, “because of how she trains in the weight room, in the classroom, how she chooses to eat, how she forces herself to rest instead of going out with friends. It takes a lot of sacrifice. Julia Fixsen is one in a million. It is an absolute honor to be her coach.”
Marathon in memory of lost brother-in-law BY CONRAD ENGSTROM PRESS INTERN
Carissa Carroll, her husband and his parents drove a long six hours to Chicago after hearing Andrew Carroll – Carissa’s brother-in-law – was in critical condition after falling at the Chicago O’Hare airport in January. He died two days later. The fall was an attempt to take his life. Later Sally and Bill Carroll – Andrew’s parents – got something in the mail. It was Andrew’s Grandma’s Marathon registration. Bill asked if Carissa would consider running in place of Andrew. Carissa had run marathons in the past but not since she had three kids. Carissa texted her running partner Katie Bjorklund and they started training for the marathon. Andrew played hockey at the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a four-year captain. After his time playing at Duluth, Andrew went on to play professional hockey. Running the marathon in Duluth, a city and place where Andrew was known and loved, was emotional for Carissa. “Going up to Duluth to run the marathon for him was fun and special because Andrew loved Duluth,” she said. Carissa has run eight marathons in the past but training for Grandma’s Marathon had a different feeling because of the circumstances. “The training provided a time of reflection and healing,” she said. “When you run in honor of someone, you keep in mind who that person was. Out of all the marathons I had ran, this one

felt like it had greater purpose.” Bjorklund remembers getting a text from Carissa asking if she would be willing to run with her. Bjorklund panicked inside because she felt she was not in the greatest shape and they would already be a month behind in training. “I thought about it for a couple minutes and decided that it’s not really about me and it would be good for her if we ran this marathon together,” Bjorklund remembered. During training, both women got sick. Carissa was battling the flu and Bjorklund had pneumonia. Still, after five months of training and getting
a late start, they were ready to run Grandma’s Marathon. Carissa and Bjorklund ran with an AC20 logo on their running uniform to honor him. AC are his initials and 20 was his hockey number at University of Minnesota-Duluth. People at the marathon would recognize the logo and know it was Andrew’s group. In Duluth, Andrew was known as a hockey player and a hard worker. After his hockey days were over he wanted to run a marathon. He ran the Twin Cities marathon last October, and Carissa laughed remembering how he went out way too fast at the beginning and was practically shuffling at the end. He wanted to try it again and with Grandma’s Marathon being in Duluth, it made a perfect match. “The whole time it did not feel like real life,” Bjorklund said. “My husband Tyson and Carissa’s husband Chris rode on some of Andrew’s bikes to follow us around at the marathon and it felt wrong like he should’ve been here, not us.” Carissa and Bjorklund ran a faster time then they did in their last marathon nine years and three kids ago in San Francisco. They were also close to their personal records. “When I crossed the fi nish line I knew that it was all well worth the pain,” Carissa said. Andrew was working as a physical education teacher at Magnuson Christian School in White Bear Lake when he died. “We remember Andrew as humble, unassuming, coachable, polite and encouraging,” said School Director Cheri Buelow. “He was a gentle giant

of a man. Andrew knew the meaning of hard work. He had a heart for helping people. He loved to joke around with the students and always asked them about how they were doing in the sports they played.” The school held a Mr. Carroll Day in May when they planted a tree in his honor. “Everyone at Magnuson loved Mr. Carroll,” Buelow said. “We miss him so much.”

Mounds View alum and Shoreview native Jason Patton is a Navy fire controlman.
Mounds View alum in Navy inspects ship weapon systems A 2001 Mounds View High School graduate and Shoreview native is serving in the U.S. Navy at Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic (COMNAVSURFLANT), which is located on the largest Navy base in the world, Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. Petty Offi cer 1st Class Jason Patton is a fi re controlman. A Navy fi re controlman is normally responsible for weapons systems aboard ships. “I used to be an explosive ordnance technician in Iraq and Africa,” Patton said. “I can share those experiences with my junior sailors.” Patton credits his success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in his hometown of Shoreview. “My hometown taught me to make your weakness a strength,” he said. “This will benefit everyone around you.” Though there are many ways for a sailor to earn distinction in their command, community and career, Patton is most proud of watching his subordinates surpass expectations due to preparations. “Some of my students have come back and prepared me for advancement,” he said. While serving in the Navy may present many challenges, Patton has found reward in service. “The Navy has taught me that you don’t let anyone tell you can’t do something,” he said. COMNAVSURFLANT is one of the six U.S. naval type commands. It was established in 1975 as a consolidation of the cruiser-destroyer, amphibious, and service forces of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. In addition to SURFLANT’s nearly 70 ships, there are special mission and fleet support units that make up the more than 100 commands of the force. SURFLANT personnel is stationed stateside and deployed in Bahrain; Rota, Spain; and the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System in Romania and Poland. Additionally, surface forces provide a critical element to drug interdiction operations in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific. “To go in harm’s way” in defense of the principles of freedom and democracy has been the rally call of surface force sailors for more than 200 years. The command provides combat-ready surface forces for U.S. Fleet Forces Command and combatant commanders that are capable of conducting prompt, sustained naval, joint and combined operations in support of United States national interests. “My top priority is readiness. I’m extremely proud of the diverse group of sailors and civilians who serve at our command; they accept every challenge and serve with honor,” said Rear Adm. Jesse A. Wilson Jr., commander, Surfaces Forces Atlantic. From press release

Local artist unveils State Fair poster The Minnesota State Fair’s 2018 Commemorative Art made by White Bear Lake paper collage artist Kristi Abbott was unveiled at the State Fairgrounds this month. The original 3-foot by 4-foot piece will be on display in the Fine Arts Center during the 2018 Great Minnesota Get-Together and posters will be available for purchase. Abbott’s work uses color, pattern and texture in an innovative and exciting way through a combination of papers, adhesives and embellishment materials. Each piece is built using multiple layers and is made up of hidden imagery. This piece is no exception; it is a tapestry of visual storytelling containing more than 50 hidden images representing all parts of the State Fair. “There is no shortage of imagery to include for the Minnesota State Fair. The hardest part was deciding which images to include when I could only fit so many into the fi nal artwork,” Abbott said. “Hopefully, the images I included evoke a sense of fun, wonder and excitement that is felt at the fair. I certainly felt this on every one of my seven visits to the Great Minnesota Get-Together in 2017, especially when visiting with my niece, Willow, and sister, Lauralea, who are the main subjects in my finished piece.” Abbott has spent her life traveling between Sydney, Australia, and the greater St. Paul area. Growing up, she was seldom without a book, a Barbie doll and a set of coloring pencils. She was fascinated by art, travel, culture and making things with her hands from a very early age and chose to study art, theatre and design throughout school. After a decade in the corporate arena, a graduate degree in design and an executive master's of business
administration, she decided to leave the corporate world and move to Minnesota to pursue her true passion. Abbott’s work rose to notoriety when she was chosen as the featured artist for the Edina Art Show in 2015. Following the success of her fi rst show, she was selected as the featured artist for Duluth Art on the Bay and awarded a commission. In 2016, Abbott developed her Pop Icon Series that included stars such as David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Murray and Prince. In 2017, she created the “I Am” series, a collection of eight portraits, along with a multi-media experience unique to each piece. Most recently she led a collaborative exhibition called “7 Warrior Women,” which highlighted seven artworks and seven continents of the world. She also made a collage piece for the new Shoreview library. The Press ran an article on Abbott's artistic process in March. Abbott lives in St. Paul but has a studio in White Bear Lake. The State Fair commemorative poster, a limited number of signed prints and other merchandise are available for purchase at mnstatefair.org, and will also be available during the fair at State Fair Wear Gift Shops and Bargain Book and State Fair Poster Carts on the fairgrounds. Proceeds will support the Minnesota State Fair Foundation's mission to preserve and improve the historic fairgrounds and support fair educational programs. The 2018 Minnesota State Fair Commemorative Art is the 15th in a series of artwork created annually by Minnesota artists. In past years, artists have included: Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher (2004), Mary GrandPré (2005), Nancy Carlson (2006), Michael Birawer (2007), Edie Abnet (2008), Leo Stans (2009), Deborah Voyda Rogers
