Man recognized for saving woman from car fire

Hy-Vee pulls out of Towers Crossing project

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD PRESS EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — A Lino Lakes resident was recognized during a Ramsey County Sheriff’s award ceremony for saving a woman’s life during a car fi re. “This is a special day (as is) any time that we get the chance to celebrate promotions and, in this case, to recognize a civilian, a non-employee of our Sheriff’s Office, who has done some great work on behalf of public safety,” said Sheriff Jack Serier as he opened the ceremony June 12. John Latcham, who has lived in Lino Lakes for eight years with his family, works at 3 Diamond Corporation in Shoreview. On Feb. 10 Ramsey County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a car fire off of County Road E in Shoreview. That morning, Latcham happened to be outside when he noticed smoke coming from across the street. “I saw some smoke and I didn’t think anything of it. I thought they must be having a morning barbecue, which I thought didn’t make sense. I jogged out into the street, jumped up into the air and I could make out the outline of the frame of a car,” Latcham recalled. “I turned to go get my fire extinguisher but then I thought if there was someone in there, I might

not have time to get it. I did a full-on sprint across the road, down the railroad tracks, up the ravine and as soon as I got to the top I could see a woman in there.” As Latcham was running toward the car, he was shouting at the

woman to get out. “She was conscious, but she was not thinking clearly; she was irrational, disoriented and I thought maybe she bumped her head,” he said.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Much to the city’s surprise, the Iowa-based grocery giant that planned to build at Tower Crossings has decided the project is too expensive. City Development Director Anne Kane said she received a call from Hy-Vee representative Phil Hoey indicating they will not proceed with the project on Centerville Road. “He cited extraordinary project costs with site grading, the two-story design with smaller sales ﬂoor, high land costs to acquire the White Oak retail center and right of way improvements,” Kane said. “They are also in a lawsuit with Walgreen’s regarding a private land use restriction prohibiting pharmacy uses.” The Hy-Vee spokesman told Kane the company is committed to serving the White Bear market and found the site to be highly desirable; however, in the end, the construction bids were coming in substantially higher than projected and they’re just not able to justify the costs for the 70,000-square-foot store, ﬁtness center, restaurant and pharmacy. “There wasn’t one deal or one facet that

Spring blooms bring summer fruit to market BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

Apricots, apples, cherries, berries, kiwi, plums, peaches and pears create a summertime color palette in one Vadnais Heights yard. About 30 years ago, Kent Dahl began planting fruit trees unique to Minnesota as a hobby. Asian pears and Arctic kiwi are among the more exotic fruits he has nurtured over the years. He also has about half a dozen varieties of plums and nearly a dozen varieties of pears and apples. There are also apricot, peach, nectarine and hazelnut trees. There are about half a dozen varieties of cherry trees. “They are hard to grow in Minnesota,” Kent noted. There are also

blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and black raspberry patches among the fruit trees. For locals interested in trying their hand at growing fruits uncommon in Minnesota yards, Kent recommends the Alderman plum as a starter. Gardeners will also have to be prepared to deal with animals and bugs, he said. He handpicks plum bugs off his trees and puts fencing around others. Kent has grown some apple trees from seed and also tried his hand successfully at grafting. When one of his apple trees grown from seed blew over in the wind about a decade ago, it began producing flat-tasting apples. So, he grafted in several different apple branches. “There are three to four different types of apples on this tree,” Kent

said, while standing beneath the tree’s limbs. He screwed back together another apple tree that had been split by a fallen tree. “It was a really tasty apple, so I tried to save it,” he noted. Kent has forgotten the name of one of his other apple varieties but it has always been the favorite of those who have tasted his apples. He calls it the “unknown” apple. “People say, ‘That’s my favorite apple,’ and I can’t give it a name,” he remarked. After Kent married Susan Dahl in 2012, she started selling the fruit from his trees at local farmers markets.

Local develops new social media app 14-friend app keeps people productive

SUBMITTED

Justin Buhl, left, a White Bear Lake Area High School grad, joined his cousin Joe Sweeney in California to develop a new type of social media app.

“All new technologies have unforeseen consequences,” Sweeney said. “But the negatives are always followed by positive corrections. Azha is a positive correction in the social network space.” The cousins developed the new app because they believe thousands of hours of beneficial, real-life activities are being replaced with mindless scrolling through updates, images, videos, and ads on social media apps. The cousins hope to start a new trend that focuses on quality relationships and productive behaviors. Friends share their to-do lists with each other and keep each other accountable. Friends can also send tasks to each other. “It feels good to build a social app that makes people more productive and more connected at the same time. Instead of designing Azha to maximize

the amount of time users spend in the app, the number of ads they click on, or the number of friends they have, we’re going to maximize the number of tasks they complete,” Buhl said. Azha has a feed, but it’s not a typical feed. It’s a task feed fi lled with friends’ completed tasks. Friends can like and comment on each others’ tasks to provide encouragement and reinforce productive behaviors, or toggle into instant messaging mode to chat privately. Because users are limited to just 14 friends, there will be fewer notifications, which increases the meaning of each “like.” A camera icon also appears when a task is checked off so users can snap a photo of what they’ve just completed, which posts to the feed. User profi les also include productivity charts and graphs to help people track their habits and identify trends and patterns. Azha is now available in the iPhone app store. The Android version has not yet been released. For more information visit www.Azha.io From press release

CHURCH DIRECTORY Created for Rela onship Called to Serve

A White Bear Lake Area High School alum developed a new social media app that is built around a to-do list and calendar — and is limited to 14 friends. Justin Buhl, 23, a 2012 grad who grew up in Vadnais Heights, started the app “Azha” with his cousin Joe Sweeney, 35, who grew up in southern Minnesota. The app is meant to keep people from wasting time like other social media apps can tend to do, CEO Sweeney explained. Buhl is the app’s chief technology officer. He attended the University of Minnesota to study chemical engineering and computer science but dropped out half way through to join Sweeney in the Silicon Valley to build the app in 2016. Buhl was a National Merit Scholar winner in 2011 and was one of about 50 students in the state to be admitted to an advanced math program at the U of M as a high school freshman. “I’ve never seen someone learn to program as fast as Justin does,” Sweeney said. “He’s like a machine with artificial intelligence.” The purpose of the app is to help people be productive and offer an alternative to other addictive social media apps. Social media addiction is an epidemic, the cousins noted. According to recent studies, the result of social media “attention engineering” is that the average adult now spends five hours a day on their phone. The average student spends nine hours. That’s 135 days of every year spent on a phone. Studies also show that the brain’s dopamine response to social media apps is similar to its response to drugs, alcohol, and junk food — a quick fi x that makes people want to repeat the activity, even if it is detrimental to their overall productivity, self-esteem and well-being, they noted.

Aging parents

n many cultures it is a great honor, or even a requirement, to care for elderly parents when they are no longer able to live alone. Today’s ‘Boomer’ generation wants to live independently for as long as possible. When living alone gets to be too much, we have numerous options for assisted living cropping up all over our communities. Few people stay in their home forever but leaving the familiarity of a home you have lived in for decades is highly emotional. Having watched our grandparents go through the process of selling their homes and moving into assisted living, and being Publisher’s somewhat resistant, I think it’s advisable to begin downsizing View or assisted living options even Carter Johnson before you think you’re ready. It seems it would be easier to make the transition from the family home when you’re the one in charge, versus your kids telling you it’s time to move. Or worse, being forced to move from your home due to a tragedy or illness, and not being prepared. As we learned when we moved my wife’s grandmother from Connecticut after grandpa died, you aren’t guaranteed to find the housing you want without advance notice. We are fortunate to have multiple types of senior housing options available locally. For those even thinking about the next step, keep in mind that it doesn’t hurt to go visit a few different options. Many of the senior communities have family-friendly events throughout the year that are open to the public, such as ice cream socials, concerts, art exhibits or breakfast events, which can be a great way to check out different places. Or, simply call for a tour. Many of the people I know who have moved into assisted living situations have found they are happier being free from the burdens of taking care of a yard or cooking. I just hope that I follow my own advice when the time comes for me. Too much stuff It seems one of the biggest hurdles when considering downsizing is what to do with all your stuff. As our grandparents have moved and our parents have attempted to downsize or ‘get organized,’ many of their belongings have made it to our house. Some things are sentimental, and some items are vintage and cool, but a lot of it of it is stuff we just don’t need and will realistically never use. It’s difficult to get rid of stuff that was once important to someone. You feel guilty for not wanting it. We recently discovered that we have seven incomplete sets of dishes and glassware that belonged to various grandparents. They are packed in six large plastic bins which take up valuable space in our basement. The thought in storing them is that our kids might want them someday. Chances are, they won’t. We know this, but we continue to hang on to all of it anyway. That doesn’t even include some of the vintage dishes and glassware we’ve inherited that we do occasionally use, along with our own sets of china and wine glasses that we will probably want to pass down to one of our kids someday. And then they will store it all in bins in their basements. Resale and consignment shops seem to be a good avenue to sell those things that are nice but that you may never use; or on the flip side, to buy items at a reasonable price. Our communities have several shops where you can find (or perhaps part with) such treasures. We also have numerous antique shops with unique items. Perhaps grandma would have liked to know her dishes were being used by someone who appreciates them, rather than sitting in storage in your basement.

What did you unlearn this summer?

ummer is here and kids are making the switch from learning in the classroom to learning in other venues — summer camps, family trips, structured activities with friends. Research shows that instilling a love for lifelong learning is key to long-term success for youth. While we focus on these opportunities for kids, summer may also be a great time for “unlearning” opportunities for adults. Rachel Cain, Director of Outpatient Mental Health at Northeast Youth & Family Services says that when we get out of our normal routine and experience new things, Movers and we are often more to think Shakers willing differently about ourselves and othJerry ers. This means it is a great time to Hromatka think about unlearning negative beliefs that hold us, our families and our communities back. Cain adds that some of these beliefs we may have learned as children. How many of us believe we’re not athletic, or not good at learning new things because we were told this when we were young? How many of us are wary of others who are not like us because we were taught by an adult that people with different back-

grounds or beliefs were not safe? How we think about ourselves and the world affects what we do to ourselves and the world around us. At Northeast Youth & Family Services, we see effects of negative beliefs every day. Kids who are told they are troublemakers at home or in school are more likely to get into trouble in the community. Youth who are told they’re not smart often don’t try as hard at school. People who are taught to mistrust differences are more likely to fear, and less likely to help, those who don’t look, believe or act like they do. By the time we become adults, these beliefs and behaviors are so ingrained and common that it is easy to forget that they are there. Cain suggests taking some time off this summer to make an inventory of what you believe about yourself and others. A free exercise that helps explore your beliefs can be downloaded at www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-ﬂux/201312/ the-belief-inventory. Cain adds that even an hour alone in a coffee shop can give you time to slow down your mind and ask a few key questions: How do I talk about myself when I’m with other people? Is it in a positive or negative way? If you don’t know the answer, ask a trusted friend to tell you the truth about what they see and hear. Next ask yourself or a friend about how you talk to or about other people, especially those who you don’t agree with or see as different.

Do your words or actions hurt others as well as yourself? These are hard questions, and we might not like all the answers we get. But Cain stresses that it is important to not judge the responses. Get curious instead. Ask yourself — when did I learn this? Why, where or from who did I learn it? What is the damage to me and others if I continue believing this way? Does this way of thinking still serve me well today? After you have made an inventory, pick two negative beliefs to unlearn: one that hurts you and one that hurts others. Consider how much better you and others might feel if you stopped these beliefs and behaviors. The third step can be the hardest — making a change. Cain says be realistic: it won’t happen overnight. Our brains get accustomed to familiar patterns of thinking and doing things. Hanging out with people who demonstrate the beliefs or habits you want to develop, asking a friend to hold you accountable, or seeking professional counseling are three practical and proven ways to help you make the changes you seek. If you hang in there and keep trying, you will be glad you did. Letting go and “unlearning” beliefs and behaviors that hurt ourselves and others beneﬁts everyone — especially the kids who are watching and learning by your example. Jerry Hromatka is executive director of Northeast Youth and Family Services.

Treat at home or head to the doctor?

hen you’ve got a health insurance deductible of $3,000, $6,000 even $10,000, you think twice about going to the doctor, especially if it isn’t necessary. That begs the question: how do you know if an injury is treatable at home or needs a doctor’s attention? It’s a tough question because we want to take care of ourselves, but we certainly don’t want to spend the money for a doctor visit if it isn’t necessary. On the other hand, some injuries, if left untreated can get much worse and even put your health at risk. So how do we walk this ﬁne line? Here are some of the most common injuries and advice to determine if you can treat at home or if you should head to The Urgency Room. Cuts Certainly, a paper cut or small cut can be treated at home with a good cleaning, pressure and a Band-Aid. But when is that cut so deep you need stitches? Consider a couple criteria: Where is the cut? How deep? How bad is it bleeding? A deep cut on your face is a concern. You want that cut treated properly to prevent a scar. Additionally, cuts that are so deep there is a gap (a couple millimeters or more) or those bleeding uncontrollably and through dressings are worth getting checked out. Also consider what made the cut. A stick or item outside has a greater risk of creating infection than a knife from the dishwasher. Regardless of the source or depth of the

cut, I suggest you run it under medium pressure water for 30 seconds. The water will clean the cut from the outside, while the blood coming from the cut will clean it from the inside. Then apply immediate pressure while determining if you need to be seen. Rashes We see many rashes at The Urgency Room. main concern with Movers & Our a rash is whether or not there are associated Shakers symptoms like fever, Carolyn McClain pain, difficulty breathing or swelling in the throat. These are signs you need to be seen immediately. Another red flag is a rash that is spreading despite efforts to control it with anti-itch creams. Also, be on alert for a rash that is painful as this could signify cellulitis, a potentially serious bacterial skin infection that appears as a swollen, red area of skin that feels hot and tender. As a general rule of thumb, if you have a rash and you suspect it is not an allergic reaction and do not have any other symptoms, you can wait and treat it with over-the-counter creams. But, if it doesn’t get better, you should be seen. Twist, sprain or break Let’s say you fall down the stairs and twist your ankle or you trip on your child’s toy and fall on your wrist. How do you know if it needs to be seen? Consider a few elements. Is there significant swelling? Can you put pressure on the

affected area? If it’s your ankle, can you walk on it? There are situations where a broken bone is obvious because you can see the deformity in your arm or leg. In other situations, where you’re not sure, it’s ok to ice the area and wait. Give it several hours or even a full day. If the injury isn’t as serious follow the steps of RICE: Rest the injured area, apply ice, compress the injury with an elastic bandage, and elevate it above your heart. If the injury is serious, it won’t feel better and you’ll need to get it checked out. Burns Whether it’s from a curling iron, a hot pan or a spilled drink, burns are very common. In many cases, bacitracin and keeping the area covered will help the injury heal. But, there are some burns that need to be seen by a doctor right away. For example, any burn to the palm of your hands must be seen. This area is particularly concerning because burns cause the skin to retract and the skin on your palm doesn’t retract as easily as the skin on the back of your hand, for example. Proper treatment is needed to make sure this burn doesn’t cause longterm damage. The same concern is true of areas of the skin that cross a joint such as a knee or ankle. Other burns that need to be accessed include burns to your face or large burns, bigger than the palm of your hand as these burns are at higher risk for infection. Bee stings If you are allergic to bee stings, you likely carry an EpiPen and know how to react if you are stung. But, what about

the rest of us, those of us who have never been stung and don’t know what is normal and what needs attention from a doctor? Here are a couple guidelines to help. If you are ever stung in the mouth or on the face, it’s a good idea to get checked out, especially because swelling from the sting could make it difficult to breath or swallow. As well, if you are stung multiple times, let a doctor evaluate you. Certainly, if you are swelling in areas other than the sting site, are having trouble breathing, feel light headed or develop a fever, head to the doctor immediately In most cases, a bee sting can be handled at home. You will feel pain from the sting and possibly notice swelling at the site. Remove the stinger with a tweezer and then ice the area and take Benadryl. Fainting Many of us can remember a time we passed out. It can happen if you get up too quickly and your blood pressure isn’t able to keep up with your movement. Or, maybe you get light-headed at the sight of blood? These are all normal reactions and can be treated by laying the patient flat on the floor and offering liquids and even a salty snack. Fainting is cause for concern if it happens while you are exercising as it can be a sign of a serious heart condition. These patients need to be seen right away. Dr. Carolyn McClain is medical director of The Urgency Room.

Proposed bus line in White Bear Lake rolling along Two key governing bodies of the Rush Line project voted recently to endorse bus rapid transit (BRT) service running mostly in bus-only lanes between Union Depot in downtown Saint Paul and White Bear Lake. The Rush Line Corridor Task Force and Policy Advisory Committee each voted to recommend BRT service as the “Locally Preferred Alternative” on a 14-mile route along Robert Street, Phalen Boulevard, Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority right-of-way alongside the Bruce Vento Trail, and Highway 61. "Today we have passed a key milestone for the Rush Line,” said Corridor Task Force Chair and Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. “The unanimous endorsement of a bus rapid transit line allows us to move one step closer to bringing this needed service to our residents and businesses. With the help of the community, we can now focus our efforts on the environmental and design details to ensure that maximum beneﬁts are achieved.” Selecting the Locally Preferred Alternative is the project stage in which many options for routes and vehicle types are narrowed to one. It follows an intensive planning and public engagement process underway since May 2014. The advisory committee and task force deliberated over factors including cost, ridership, travel time, access to job and activity centers, and development potential. They also gathered direct input from neighbors, commuters, businesses and community groups in determining the most promising potential route and service options. “Today’s votes cap a thorough and balanced process,” said Policy Advisory Chair Nora Slawik. “Input from our citizens and communities has been

essential in driving to this resolution which best meets the needs of those living and working in the Rush Line corridor.” The Locally Preferred Alternative must now be presented and approved by the elected ofﬁcials of each city along the line – Saint Paul, Maplewood, White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights and Gem Lake – along with the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority in order to advance to the next project stages of environmental review, design and engineering. Construction of the line could begin as soon as 2023. Service among the line’s 20 stations is proposed with hybrid-electric buses running every 10 minutes during peak trafﬁc periods and every 15 minutes

from early morning until midnight every day of the week. Most of the route will run on dedicated bus-only lanes. In downtown Saint Paul, outside lanes on Robert Street would be dedicated to buses during peak periods. Between Arcade Street in Saint Paul and a proposed station at St. John’s Hospital in Maplewood, the line will run adjacent and separated from bicyclists and pedestrians on the Bruce Vento Trail using existing right-of-way owned by the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. Along Highway 61, buses would run on reinforced, dedicated shoulder lanes similar to the Red Line operation on Highway 77. Daily Rush Line ridership is estimated at nearly 6,000 by 2040. More

than 60,000 people live near the line’s station areas which are located at job and activity centers, health care facilities and clinics, economic development nodes and transportation hubs, including Union Depot and the Maplewood Mall Transit Center and Park and Ride. The estimated $420 million project also envisions new Park and Ride facilities near Highway 36 and English Street and in White Bear Lake. Planned stations include features similar to the Green Line and A Line such as real-time arrival and departure information, security cameras and ticket machines. From press release

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

North Oaks • It was all in a night’s work for egg-tossing vandals who targeted four houses on Lake Court, West Lake Drive and Malcomb Lane late on May 31. No suspects.

Shoreview • A 63-year-old woman driving on three tires and a rim was pulled over the morning of May 31 at Lexington Avenue and County Road E. The “confused-appearing” woman, who said she had “mental health issues,” was assigned a mandatory driver’s license evaluation and taken home by Allina. • Following a property damage crash at Lexington Avenue and Pleasant Circle on May 31, a 35-yearold Forest Lake man failed a blood-alcohol test and was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on a fourth-degree DWI charge. • A dope-dazed 26-year-old female was transported from an address in the 500 block of Emil Avenue to Regions Hospital the afternoon of June 1 for treatment of an opioid overdose. • A bad day just got worse for the Fridley man who told deputies he was having a bad day. Found in the area of Victoria Street and Snail Lake Boulevard on June 3, the intoxicated, belligerent 22-year-old was checked into jail on a disorderly conduct charge. • Deputies would sure like to talk those involved with ordering and shipping a carat-and-a-half diamond to someone in California. Phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers were verified until the big stone was shipped June 3; then things went awry. An investigation continues. • A deputy enjoying his last day of field training on June 4 captured a 3-foot garter snake from the front yard of a residence in the 800 block of Sherwood Road. The yard-long snake, which had startled a small child and caused the parents to

call 911, was released in a swampy area. • When deputies conducting a traffic stop pulled over the 1993 Toyota Avalon, they learned from the vehicle’s owner that the car had been taken the night of June 5 from a townhouse in northern Shoreview by her angry, 15-year-old daughter. When a state trooper asked Mom if she wanted to press charges, she said, “absolutely.” The unlicensed daughter was quickly off to the county Juvenile Detention Center on a felony auto theft charge. • What was fi rst termed an expired license tab offense quickly became serious business when deputies smelled pot following the June 5 stop just after midnight in the 3900 block of Lexington Avenue. They found that the 20-year-old female driver out of Forest Lake was wanted on pending charges of driving after license revocation as well as for the expired license plate tabs. Pot and 39 pills of a suspicious origin were found in her purse. The 20-year-old Columbia Heights male passenger faces pending charges of drug paraphernalia and pot possession. Both suspects were booked into jail and the vehicle was impounded. • A thief, finding the key to the 14-year-old’s Lexington Avenue YMCA locker in the youth’s backpack while he was taking a swimming lesson, made off with the lad’s iPhone June 5. The phone was valued in excess of $500. • Bike theft season actually got underway in May with the report of a Bianchi bicycle stolen from a garage in the 3100 block of Lexington Avenue. The theft of the bike was not reported for a month. The red and black model, which has no registration, license or serial number, was last seen in the garage of the residence and was valued at $1,0001,500, its 69-year-old owner said. No forced entry to the garage was found. • A 2007 silver Chevy Tahoe pulling a trailer loaded with a broken-down washer and dryer went missing around midnight June 7 in the 100 block of Dennison Avenue. The vehicle, without the trailer, was recovered the next day in Dakota County. • A man stopped into the service station June 8 in

the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway to buy some smokes and a bottle of Pepsi. He left with 90-some dollars in change from his $100 bill which, upon close examination, proved to be counterfeit. • Authorities are puzzled over activity that took place the weekend of June 10 when someone climbed onto the roofs of two service stations across from one another in the 5900 block of Hodgson Road and cut the electrical cords. No suspects. • A vehicle with a broken “pull-me-over” taillight was stopped at midnight June 10 at I-694 and Lexington Avenue and the male driver booked into the Ramsey County Jail on a fourth-degree DWI charge. • It just wouldn’t be a Saturday night without some noise to disturb the neighbors. Deputies responded to several calls regarding three large booms that were heard in the 3600 block of Victoria Street around 10 p.m. June 10 but were unable to identify the source. Fireworks are suspected. • A woman under suspicion of shoplifting the night of June 11 stopped her stroller at the Target service counter in the 3100 block of Lexington Avenue to purchase a gallon of milk. The suspect, 27, had another $60 worth of goods hidden in and around her and her unwitting accomplice, a 1-year-old child. At that point, the woman began to experience breathing problems and was taken for treatment. After recovery, Mom was taken to jail on a theft charge. • A resident became aware of malware on her computer in May and got around to reporting it on June 12. Meanwhile, the 79-year-old woman kept responding to emails demanding she keep sending gift cards to “Teamview.” Finally, she saw the error of her ways after she was shorted $3,000. No suspects. • A homeowner in the midst of renovation to her Mound Avenue home left her back door open around the clock for ventilation. That made it easy for the prowler to waltz right in on the evening of June 13 and pick up her Dell Latitude laptop. The computer was valued at $1,000, the 47-year-old told deputies.

Keep pollutants out of city storm sewers BY SHEREEN M. PAGE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The public works department of Shoreview protects the waterways and sewers within city limits by regulating pollutants that enter the city’s storm drainage system. A large part of protecting the sewers and waterways in Shoreview consists of educating citizens on how to properly dispose of varies types of waste. What citizens should know Dumping discharge waste or pollution into storm drains is illegal. Illicit discharge is defi ned as any discharge to a municipal storm sewer that is not composed of solely storm water. This includes: Dumping gas, motor oil, paints, household cleaners, concrete waste water or restaurant cooking oil into the system. Allowing fertilizer, grass clippings, leaves, herbicides, pesticides or pet waste into the sewer. Installing pipes that bypass sanitary connections or septic drain fields that produce a direct discharge into open lakes or streams Illicit discharge enters the storm sewers and ultimately end up in the local lakes, ponds and may cause serious environmental damage. Some of the damage that may occur: Pollutants in illicit discharges include viruses and bacteria from raw sewage or pet waste, heavy metals, toxins and nutrients Nutrients from grass, leaves and soil contribute to the overgrowth of algae which can impact aquatic life. EPA studies show that pollutant levels from even small illicit discharges have been shown to be high enough to significantly degrade water quality and threaten aquatic, wildlife and human health. Shoreview Public Works Department Director

Mark Maloney presented at a public hearing at the June 19 City Council meeting. He reported on a draft of the annual report on the city’s storm sewer system permit granted by the state. “In my 30 years in local government I have been dealing with people in real time,” Maloney said, when asked about outreach and education to keep citizens educated on the impact each citizen has on our sewer system. The Public Works Department enforces local city codes and ordinances regarding illicit discharge. A “much better approach is to educate people” before they violate city code, he noted. Educational speakers are offered on varies subjects such as Food Too Good To Waste and Surface Water Management, for the public. These sessions are a key tool in helping learn what action everyone can take to reduce illicit discharge from entering the sewer system. A new series of speakers is offered each year and past speakers can be viewed on the city’s website. The public works department also offers articles on topics such as soil erosion and sediment control. The article states a few tips to help reduce erosion and sedimentation. Keep soil and debris off of sidewalks and streets. Rain will quickly wash the sediment to catch basins and surface waters from these hard surfaces. The grassy boulevard area (10 to 15 feet from the street) acts to fi lter sediment from runoff. If that area is disturbed, act promptly re-sod the disturbed area or use a fiber blanket to prevent erosion. Protect catch basins if disturbed soil is located less than 10 feet from the curb or street. For more information read the sediment and erosion control info sheets on the city’s website http:// www.shoreviewmn.gov/ .

CITY OF NORTH OAKS SUMMARY FINANCIAL REPORT REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES FOR GENERAL OPERATIONS GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR

HUGO — More than 500 jobs in the area have been saved as a result of the Legislature’s allocation of $1.5 million in bonding money to make necessary repairs to the Minnesota Commercial Railway line from St. Paul to Hugo. Due to the line’s condition, if the funding had not been approved, the track would have been shut down because it was no longer safe. “We are certainly pretty happy because we were going to be forced to abandon the line and now it has been saved, thank the Lord. Now the shippers are going to get a new shot at life out there,” said Minnesota Commercial Railway President and Chairman John Gohmann. White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tom Snell said that although he was never told directly that a business along the rail line was planning to move, he was of the belief that if the line was shut down companies would have gone elsewhere. “There are a number of businesses that are fairly substantial in our community, not just in Hugo, all the way down to Oakdale that would have been severely impacted,” he said. Hugo City Administrator Bryan Bear explained the City Council has been very supportive of maintaining the rail service and has worked on securing funding for quite some time. “We recognize the importance of the rail line to several businesses in the city and the interdependency of businesses; they are reliant on one another, do business with one another and the impact would be fairly significant,” Bear said. “The City Council and Economic Development Authority have put in a tremendous amount of effort to ensure rail services remain viable. Without the railroad, we are not sure the businesses could remain competitive and stay in the city.” Gohmann said they have tried to get the funding since 2014. Minnesota Commercial Railway has leased the track from Burlington Northern (BSNF) since 1990 after it was no longer used as a main line to Duluth. When Minnesota Commercial took over the line, there were around 25 revenue cars (customer cars) on the line. “While we have grown the business to about 100 to 120 cars a month, this was not volume we could economically justify major upgrading, it just allowed us to do maintenance,” Gohmann said. With the improvements, which are scheduled to begin mid to late July, the rail should last another 60 years or more. The wood ties and ballast (rock) have deteriorated and will be replaced. Six thousand to 8,000 ties will be replaced between White Bear Lake and Hugo, south of White Bear Lake about a mile and between White Bear Lake and Roseville — in total, over a distance of about 6.5 miles. Between 6,000 and 8,000 tons of ballast will also be placed. The plan is to complete as much of the project as possible this summer and fall and resume repairs next year.

JUNE 27, 2017 www.presspubs.com

Robert McClure: Stained glass artist creates custom pieces Q: Where are you from, how old are you, and where do you live now? A: I am 72 years old and am originally from what is now Shoreview. We moved back to Shoreview in 2009 after 36 years in my grandparents’ home in St. Anthony Park. Q: How and when did you get started as an artist? A: My wife, Kathy, and I took an adult education class in St. Paul a number of years ago and that started my journey. Q: Are you self-taught, or do you have formal training in art? If so, when and where? A: Other than the one class you could say I was self taught at the school of trial and error. Q: In what media do you work? A: I work with various kinds of stained glass and assemble my work with lead with zinc borders as well as some copper work. I have done some work in foiling, another way to assemble glass work, as well as some repairs. Q: What are the most unusual materials or tools you use in your art, if any? A: Although they are not unusual, if you work in stained glass a good grinder, cutter, and a cutters mate are a must. Q: What usually inspires you in your art? Does your art tend to have commonalities of theme, color, texture or design? A: What usually inspires me is my wife suggesting a certain pattern or color of glass; after all, she is the boss. Q: How do you market your art? A: I currently have some of my art work at the Farmers Daughter in White Bear, The Chickadee Boutique in Shoreview, The Merry Peddler in Lindstrom as well as word of mouth. I also have a booth at the Slice of Shoreview. Q: At what price range is your art offered? A: My prices range from $2 to as much as several hundred dollars. I feel that I need to have some cheap grab and go items to get people interested in glass art. Q: What is it about your art to which people seem to respond? A: I feel that the uniqueness of my designs along with the colors seems to catch peoples’ eyes. Q: What is the most rewarding part about creating your art? A: What I love most is doing special orders where the customer has a major part in the process. The piece is personalized by their selection of patterns, color of glass, texture, and size. They are part of the process and should end up loving the end result.

Q: What is the most challenging part? A: What is most challenging is doing complex repairs while still keeping the integrity and emotional connection the customer may have with the piece. Q: Do you have a “claim to fame” as an artist? A: Not that I can think of but maybe that will come after I am gone. Q: Are you a full-time artist or do you have a day job? If so, what do you do, and where? A: I started doing stained glass while I was working at Waterous Company. It started out as a hobby and morphed into a part-time business. Q: What else do you do in your spare time? Do you have a family, and what are their names and ages? A: What is spare time? If there is any, it is taken up with our two grandchildren ages seven and five or trips to the cabin in Danbury. We have one daughter, and are thankful that they live close by. Q: What is your five-year plan as an artist? A: My plan is to make a dent in the huge amount of glass I have on hand and to make more unusual glass pieces.

made it fall apart,” Kane said. “I know the developer will cite grading as one of the extraordinary factors. You don’t always deal with as much grading as they had with Mrs. Lande’s property.” The property was formerly owned by the late Jarmila Lande. A future traffic signal on Centerville Road by the new senior living complex was another cost. Hy-Vee was to bear 50 percent of the installation. “The (lack of a) signal is concerning,” added Kane. “There are 120 apartments there. It’s not in my realm, but we may have to meet with county engineers and explore a stop sign there.” Kane said she’s received many calls from local business owners excited about Hy-Vee coming to the neighborhood. “These were all positive ripples that now will be put on the back burner.” One business that no doubt is glad to hear the news is the Kowalski’s-owned Cub Foods across the street. In his reply to an email request for comment, Mike Oase, vice president of operations, wrote one short sentence: “Hy-Vee’s decision makes sense given the complexity of the site and amount of additional traffic it would have added to Centerville Road and Highway 96.” The city planner is confident there will be another proposal for the 5-acre site. “It’s a key site in a growth corridor,” Kane said. “There is great exposure. We grow this community by bringing value into those vacant properties. There will be something.”

Thank You I would like to thank Larry and Sharon Muellerleile, owners of White Bear Tire and Auto, along with Kevin, Cody and staff and all of our great customers. As I dealt with medical issues, their support, prayers, kind words and gifts over the last year meant so much to me and my family. I did not fully realize the friendships I had developed over the last 26 years. All of your support was overwhelming and much appreciated. With greatest of gratitude, thank you. Kevin McLafferty

‘Lifting the cloud’ of diabetes with a special dog BY TOM STANGL COUNTRY MESSENGER PUBLISHER

Since her diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in 1989, Madyi Stangl has felt that the disease has “placed a cloud” on her life — limiting her ability to travel and live life. But that cloud has lifted for the Minneapolis resident, thanks to a special golden retriever named Willy. Willy is a diabetes assistance dog that was given to Stangl by Can Do Canines, a New Hope-based nonprofit that trains dogs to help people who live with diabetes, autism, seizures, hearing loss and mobility issues. Madyi and Willy “graduated” in a class of 14 on June 10. Willy was named by Wilma Audrey Loken, who donated money to Can Do Canines. She died before Willy graduated, but her two daughters, their husbands and her son attended the graduation ceremony. One daughter, Beth Brostrom, and her husband are members of the White Bear Lions Club. Willy can detect changes in Stangl’s blood sugar levels by scent. He alerts Madyi to high or low blood sugar levels by touching her with his paw. If she doesn’t respond, he will whine or whimper and eventually do whatever he needs to do to get her attention. He is trained to bring glucose tablets or even a cell phone to Stangl. Recently, Stangl had a “scary” low of 36 during the night. When she failed to respond to Willy’s touches, he laid over her body until she woke up, checked her blood sugar levels and ate food to bring her levels back up to normal. Can Do Canines has produced nearly 600 teams of dogs and their human companions since opening in 1989, according to Sarah Schaff, client services coordinator. The organization can give away the dogs, which are sold by other organizations for $20,000 or more, because of volunteers and many donors, Schaff says. Funding comes from donations from individuals, companies and grants. Schaff reports that the organization does not receive any state or federal funds, relying solely on donations, fundraisers and bequests.

Puppies are bred in a cooperative program with other certified service dog organizations and raised by volunteers. Many receive their initial training in six Minnesota and two Wisconsin prisons. Schaff notes that the prison environment is good for the dogs as well as the inmates. “It gives dogs a 24/7 taste of what life will be like when they are working,” she says, adding that there are many studies pointing to the therapeutic benefits for the inmate handlers as well. The organization has a screening process to find suitable candidates to match with dogs that are in the system or are in training. It takes two years to raise and train a dog to be an assistance animal, Schaff said. Madyi works as the operations lead for the University of Minnesota Physicians and Willy accompanies her to work. He alerted a diabetic co-worker of Stangl to a low blood sugar level. Stangl grew up with dogs and reports that having Willy around is like “having a big security blanket that I carry with me all the time.” She is now more confident as well. “Even though I’m going to continue on as this girl with this physical reminder of my disability, I’m a little prouder because I’m able to shed light on diabetes. Diabetes is an invisible illness, something that needs to be seen because it’s not something to be taken lightly,” she said. Even though Willy is a beautiful and friendly dog, Stangl asks that people refrain from touching him or any other assistance dog without permission of the owner. “When we are out in public and Willy is wearing his vest, it’s important not to make eye contact or distract him,” Stangl says. “He is working for me, and if he gets distracted, he stops working, and that could be dangerous.” Schaff says that Can Do Canines is in need of volunteers to raise and train Labrador, collie and poodle puppies for two years and return them to the company for further training. For more information, go to www. can-do-canines.org.

LIFESAVING AWARD: Man honored for ‘selfless act’ FROM PAGE 1

Latcham was able to grab the woman by the wrists and drag her out of the car and up an embankment to safety. After the incident, deputies noticed that the heat from the fi re had been so intense at the time Latcham pulled the woman out that her shoes had already started to melt. “A true testament to someone’s character is how they respond when someone is in need. Your actions have proven you to be a person of tremendous character,” Serier said. “It is a selfless act, going up to a car that is burning, which if you’ve ever been in that situation, those are tenuous moments and you think about your own safety … Thank you so much for your willingness to do that and your service to other people.” When asked why Latcham wanted to spring to action himself rather than wait for deputies to arrive on scene, he said simply, “I had to assume there was life in there. My biggest fear was that there was a kid or pet in the car. I couldn’t confi rm it visually,” he said. “I thought about my kids.” Although Latcham said it is nice to be recognized for his actions that day, he is just happy the woman is okay. Many people have told him he was that woman’s “guardian angel” that day. SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Most notably, the “blue law” that has been in place in Minnesota for 159 years banning the sale of intoxicating liquor on Sundays will end July 2 under legislation enacted to extend intoxicating liquor sales to Sunday between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. The city has updated the city’s regulations to comply with the new statute. There are four liquor stores in Shoreview. The debate over the sale of liquor on Sunday has been waged for years. Blue laws were aimed at restricting activities on Sunday in support of religious ideals of the Sabbath as a day of rest. One Minnesota blue law that remains on the books prohibits the sale of a car by a dealer on Sundays. Eleven states still restrict Sunday sale of alcohol. Jessup also updated the council on other items that passed during the 2017 legislative session. A reduction in Social Security income taxes for some seniors was implemented, as well as a property tax cut for some small businesses. The state’s estate tax was also reduced. The Legislature also passed a Real ID compliance law to allow Minnesotans to use a state-issued ID to board an airplane. Specific to the northeast metro, $20.5 million was earmarked for the I-694 and Rice Street bridge reconstruction. “MnDOT is in charge of when that project will actually occur,” Jessup said. In other action, the City Council: • Heard a report during the citizen comment period from resident Mark Stange, who serves on the Shoreview Bike and Trails Committee. Stange said Alice Oden, a former member of the committee, had recently passed away. Oden, who used a wheelchair, was an advocate to ensure Shoreview trails were wheelchair accessible. Mayor Sandy Martin acknowledged Oden’s commitment to inclusivity and thanked her for her service. • Heard a report from representatives from the Lions Club. Jim Opp and Judy Zewers invited community-minded members to a new Lions Club that will be formed in Shoreview. More information can be found at www.lionsclub.org or at the club’s booth at Slice of Shoreview. • Announced the city is planning three appointments to the Public Safety Committee. The nine-member committee currently has only six members.

The St. Croix Crossing bridge will open in August.

St. Croix Crossing ribbon cutting set for Aug. 2 STILLWATER – The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced that a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new St. Croix Crossing bridge will be held 10 a.m. Aug. 2. The ceremony will be held on the Highway 36 approach ramp spanning Highway 95 in Oak Park Heights. Local, state and federal leaders will gather to mark the occasion, and there will be a variety of community events surrounding the ribbon cutting that have not yet been announced. MnDOT Communications and Engagement Liaison Kevin Walker said that the actual opening of the bridge has not yet been decided, but will most likely be anywhere from later that day to the next few days following the event. More details on the dedication will be released after July 4.

FRUIT: Varieties ripen all summer long FROM PAGE 1

About two years ago the Dahls also purchased a farm in North Branch to expand their fruit tree endeavor and raise bees, chickens and goats. “We kind of ran out of room,” Kent noted, pointing to a young pear tree smack in the middle of the front yard. They kept their Vadnais Heights house because North Branch is actually a zone 3 area, whereas some zone 4 trees can grow better in Vadnais Heights. “It is five to six degrees cooler up there,” Kent noted. They are growing plums, grapes, strawberries and blackberries in North Branch. “We are trying to do a variety of everything — not a huge amount — because you don’t know what is going to sell,” Kent noted. They use only organic spray on their fruit; no pesticides, Kent said. They let the trees cross-pollinate with each other and also let the bees, butterflies, moths and ants do their pollination work. The Dahls harvest the fruit themselves with a big ladder and a big stick. “I can’t get the ones at the very top,” Kent said.

Susan sells at the Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake farmers markets, among others. Berries are generally ripe in June and July, plums in August and pears and apples in September. Susan makes jams out of the excess fruit. She also makes Nepali chutney using the excess fruit and adds honey or maple syrup as chutney sweeteners. In the spring, she taps maples in Vadnais Heights and makes syrup. Bees pollinate the trees in North Branch and make honey. Susan also keeps 20 goats and 200 chickens at the North Branch farm and sells hormone- and antibiotic-free eggs. The Shoreview Farmers Market opened June 6 and is open 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays. The Vadnais Heights market opened June 21 and is open 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays. The White Bear Lake market opens June 30 and runs 8 a.m. to noon Fridays.

‘Toughest mile on the planet’ coming to area this summer BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

About 11,000 people are expected to come through Hugo in July — both spectators and world-class athletes — for the Tough Mudder. This will mark the second year the event has stopped in Hugo. Through a partnership with CBS Sports and Tough Mudder, a new event “The Tough Mudder X” will be filmed in Hugo and aired on TV. “One of the reasons we are so excited to come to Hugo is because it’s going to be the first event ever with the new format created specifically for TV,” said Tough Mudder Inc. Chief Marketing Officer Jerome Hiquet. “It will be an experience for both the participants and the spectators because it is very visual and the obstacles are huge. It is similar to American Ninja Warrior.” Tough Mudder Inc. was founded in 2010 with the launch of the Tough Mudder full event series, which includes 10-12 miles of obstacle courses. Since then, it has grown to be a new sport and lifestyle for people who call themselves “mudders” and consider themselves a part of a “tribe.” “It originally started with 4,000 people and now more than 3 million people have done Tough Mudder around the world. We have mudders in the U.S., Canada, Germany, England and Australia. It’s very much like a global tribe,” Hiquet explained. Tough Mudder Inc. will host more than 130 events worldwide in 2017 in nearly a dozen countries. One stop is Hugo. The Tough Mudder X will kick off Friday, July 14. Within the next couple of weeks 200 athletes, who apply online, will be selected by Tough Mudder to compete. “We are looking for the best athletes in the world in different categories. We think that people who do obstacle course racing, Crossfit or track and field will all be good candidates to win,” Hiquet said. “They have to incorporate skill and channel strength and agility.” The Tough Mudder X is a 1-mile course that will combine the physical challenges and mental grit of a traditional Tough Mudder course with the intensity of a timed, functional fitness workout and speedy mile. Elite athletes will be pushed to their limits as they attempt to conquer 10 obstacles including Kong, Everest 2.0, Funky Monkey and The Revolution. The event also includes 10 functional fitness stations (Workout Zones) in a battle to be the fastest to the finish line. “The obstacles are built and revolve around teamwork; it’s very unlikely that someone will finish an obstacle by themselves,” Hiquet said. “We think we have a strong mix between a unique sports event in a very entertaining format that will be exciting for Hugo and the Twin Cities.” There will be 12 finalists for the males and 12 finalists for the females. Both the male and female winner will not only gain confidence and bragging rights, but also go home a bit richer: the prize is $25,000 each. Twin Cities Gateway Sports Marketing Director Al Stauffacher’s job is to promote events — like the Tough Mudder — to bring in visitors to area hotels. Twin Cities Gateway is the north suburban visitors and tourism bureau that represents nine cities. “As we try to attract sports events to the area, we are looking at outside-the-box sports. We are trying to expand our horizons in the sport industry to have some events outside of core value sports such as baseball or hockey,” Stauffacher said. “This is a huge event. We are trying to drive more national events

into our area.” The Tough Mudder X Finals will air on CBS Sunday, Sept. 3 from 3 to 4 p.m. To see a video of what the Tough Mudder X looks like, view this story online at presspubs.com and follow the link. “The debut of Tough Mudder X, in partnership with CBS Sports, solidifies our commitment to innovation and continued leadership in the sports event world by debuting the ultimate race in sports that will capture all the hottest elements of occupying elite athletes and sports fitness enthusiasts alike,” said co-founder and CEO Will Dean. “... we can think of no better partner than CBS Sports to bring this new sporting event and all of its drama, action and excitement that makes for compelling sports television to millions of viewers and fans across the U.S.” In addition to the Tough Mudder X, there will also be the Tough Mudder Half, Tough Mudder and Mini Mudder July 15-16 at Wild Wings of Oneka, 8349 147th St. N, Hugo.

Education foundation makes a difference for 30 years BY STEPHEN YOCH SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

The Mounds View Schools Education Foundation turns 30 this year. Like many 30-year-olds, the foundation has grown and evolved while supporting the district and its students. Over the years, the foundation has become like water lifting generations of students. Times were not always good. In the mid-1980s, the Mounds View School District was short millions of dollars in state and local aid. A group of concerned parents, educators and community leaders wanted to assist the district. Educational foundations had begun emerging in other states at that time. “I do remember that foundations were so new in Minnesota and the U.S.A for K-12 public school districts that there were serious questions if they were even legal,” recalled then Superintendent Burt Nygren. At the Oct. 14, 1985 School Board meeting, a motion was made to establish a foundation that could serve as a “conduit for gifts and non-traditional sources of revenue for the district.” A steering committee was formed, led by Ann Haase, Joel Marquardt, Gerald McCauley, Gregory Ritter, Thomas Watson, Gregory Murphy and Charles Diestler. On April 28, 1986, the Steering Committee recommended to the School Board that the District 621 Foundation be established with 501(c)(3) status. The foundation’s initial mission was to provide micro grants to individual classrooms.

Over the next two decades, thousands of students benefitted from the efforts. In 2010, the “District 621 Foundation” was renamed the “Mounds View Schools Education Foundation.” The next year, the foundation focused on a new SUBMITTED unique oppor- A “621 Family Fun Run” fundraising event held in 1990. tunity – ensurEquity Promise Scholing that every Mounds View student arships, Laurentian would be permitted to take the ACT, SUBMITTED Environmental Center regardless of financial resources.

Taxes increase to fund county roads The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners voted last week to increase the wheelage tax by $10 per vehicle to address long-term maintenance needs on its 293-mile county road system. Effective January 1, 2018, motor vehicle owners will pay a $20 annual fee per vehicle registered in Ramsey County with Driver and Vehicle Services. “Earlier in the decade, we faced an ever-growing backlog of county roads in need of maintenance,” said County Board chair Victoria Reinhardt. “Since 2014, this funding has allowed our public works department to effectively double its annual maintenance program and catch up on the backlog. Today’s action extends this proven program, making our county roads safer and more reliable for individual and commercial drivers.” The county has collected $10 per vehicle since 2014. Including the construction season currently underway, wheelage tax revenues of about $4 million per year have allowed Ramsey County Public Works to resurface an extra 26 miles of Ramsey

County roads. Resurfacing involves shearing off the top level of roadway and repaving it smoothly with new asphalt. Less intensive than full reconstruction – and often not even requiring detours – resurfacing extends the life of a road by 8-12 years. In addition, outdated intersections on these roads have been replaced with new, accessible ramps and signals for pedestrians. These additional funds will allow Public Works to keep better pace with the year-after-year road maintenance demands and continue to shift focus to planned upkeep and prevention instead of emergency repairs. Half of the new funds collected will be applied to other features associated with roads that also require maintenance – including signals and traffic control systems, bridge and drainage structures, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, signs and markings, guardrails and retaining walls.

Three local stables get people back in the saddle BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Whether there’s a horse-crazy kid in the family or an adult has always wanted to get in the saddle, the Hugo area is rife with high-quality riding facilities. Hardwood Creek Farm, Brookside Farm and Woodloch Stable are three local stables offering a variety of equestrian services and experiences. Hardwood Creek Farm Hardwood Creek Farm (HCF), located on 30 acres of pasture at 2306 80th St E., is a family-owned, full-service training, showing and lesson operation specializing in Morgan and Saddlebred horses. Colleen and Lyle Wick have owned HCF for almost 20 years. Their daughter, Alyssa, who has ridden almost as long as she's been walking, also works at the facility. All three of the Wicks train high-quality show horses and instruct riders of all ages and levels. The Wick family focuses on teaching a balanced seat to riders who want to excel in Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat or Western riding. Colleen Wick explained, “Saddle Seat riding is an English style of riding (as are Hunt Seat and Dressage), but it is a uniquely American style of riding used primarily on the animated breeds such as Morgans, American Saddlebreds and Arabians.” HCF has a large selection of Morgan and Saddlebred school horses who are capable of meeting the needs of a variety of riders. “My love of the high-headed animated horses is what led me to the Morgan and Saddlebred,” Wick noted. Riders of all ages at Hardwood Creek often put their skills to test at local and national horse shows. Wick said, “We compete from the academy division to the World Championships … horseback

riding is a sport, and like any sport you must practice and develop your skills. When you reach a certain skill level you will want to compete and compare yourself to others and learn from that experience.” The Wicks are also actively involved in the marketing, buying and selling of Morgan and Saddlebred horses. Boarding also is available at the facility. To ﬁnd more information about Hardwood Creek Farm, visit its Facebook page at Facebook.com/HardwoodCreekFarm. Brookside Farm Brookside Farm, located at 4652 165th St. N., is a hunter/jumper facility with horses for sale, riding lessons and a training program. Its slogan is: “We're very serious about fun.” Mary Konu, the

horse trainer at Brookside, has worked there for more than 20 years. Mary Armstrong has owned the facility since the early 1980s and gives most of the lessons. Konu said, “We have some horses for lessons, and people who own horses can take lessons … it's for anyone who wants to learn to ride.” For those unfamiliar with the hunter/jumper style of riding, Konu said it's similar to what you see in Olympic show jumping. Both hunters and jumpers jump, but Konu said the hunters go for a “nice, quiet, pretty look,” and the jumpers go for speed because it is a timed event. Most riders focus on one or the other, depending on the skills and nature of their horse. The horse breeds at Brookside run the gamut. Konu said Brookside owns and boards “anything that can do the job correctly; we aren't biased.” Visitors will ﬁnd Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Appendix horses (a cross breed between a Thoroughbred and a Quarter Horse) and more at the barn. As far as show participation, Konu said, “It's really up to the client. We have a schooling circuit, which is low key for horses and for new riders and cheaper than big rated shows.” They also help clients participate in rated shows, which are more expensive. Konu said they don't push anyone to show but that showing can help riders “go out and get the experience … see what you've learned, like a little test. It's mind over matter.” Find more information about Brookside Farm on Facebook at Facebook.com/BrooksideFarmMN. Woodloch Stable Woodloch Stable, located on over 200 acres at 5676 170th St N., is a large multidiscipline boarding, lesson and

training facility. It offers group and private riding lessons in almost every discipline, as well as summer camps and clinics throughout the year. Co-owner Ingvill Ramberg said, “Woodloch is a family-run stable and always has been.” Her husband, Bill Ramberg, has been involved for the last 30 years, and his parents, Elaine and Dan Ramberg, have owned the stable since its inception. Ingvill noted their clients' interests vary greatly, from “people trail riding their mules to hardcore English riders ...” She explained the importance of building a strong foundation before focusing on any specific discipline: “We don't focus on any specific discipline. One thing we preach is the communication between horse and rider … that's how we start.” One popular event hosted annually at Woodloch during the second weekend of June is the Minnesota High School State Finals Rodeo. Whoever wins goes on to compete at the national finals. “It's a big event and another family-oriented event,” added Ingvill. This year, the rodeo takes place June 8-11. Woodloch has over 100 boarding stalls available as well as pasture boarding, though that is often filled to capacity. The stable maintains about 25 lesson horses and 10 ponies for the littlest riders, as well as six instructors and an in-house horse trainer.

What clubs should I carry in my bag this year? BY BETSY LAREY

Golf manufacturers say people need to buy new clubs every four or five years because of technology advances, but I don’t necessarily agree with that. It’s more important that your clubs are “fit” to you. By that I mean are the shafts the right flex for your swing speed, does the lie angle on the irons allow you to stand correctly, and does the length fit your height. It also depends on what is in your set of clubs. Prior to the early 2000s, a set usually included a low lofted driver, a 3 wood, and 3 iron through sand wedge. Then along came the hybrid club, which replaced a 3 or 4 iron. They are so much easier to hit because they have a lower and deeper center of gravity and they’re shorter than a fairway wood. Plus, the trajectory is much higher than a long iron which allows you to actually hold the green when you hit it. If you watched the Mens U.S. Open last weekend, I’m sure you noticed some of the best shots of the tournament were played with hybrids into those difficult greens. I’ve carried a 3, 4 and a 5 hybrid for many years,

and this year I added a 6. They are easier to hit and easier to stop on the green. Tour Edge is making a complete set this year called the Hot Launch. I’ve had a couple of clients who are playing them very successfully. They’re great for people with slower swing speeds who have a hard time getting the ball airborne. As far as fairway woods and drivers, a lot of it is personal preference. I do think that good players can hit 10.5 degree lofted drivers, but the average player would be better served by playing something like a 12 degree. Women and seniors with slower swing speeds might even look at a 14 degree driver. The average player has a 3 wood in his/her bag. I think 3 woods are as hard to hit as a 3 iron because of the low loft, making it difficult to hit off of the ground. Therefore, I recommend a 4 or 5 wood instead. If you have a hard time hitting your driver off the tee, and many people do, why not tee off with this instead? Confidence is an important part of playing well, and a 4 or 5 wood off the tee gives you a much better chance of finding the fairway.

Finally, your wedges have more bearing on your score than any other clubs in your bag. And the average golfer has a harder time hitting them successfully. Most of it has to do with set up and understanding what the club is supposed to do. But Calloway and Cleveland golf have fi nally realized the old fashioned “utility wedge” could work well for average to higher handicapped players. Bear in mind, these clubs have been around forever but no one has taken the time to update and market them. Calloway has teamed with Hank Haney to create the Sure Out wedges, available in a 58 and a 64 degree loft. These clubs have a very wide sole which makes shots from the sand and deep rough much easier. Better yet is Clevelands Smart Sole 2.0 wedges. Cleveland worked with Dave Pelz on the design. I like these better because they make two different clubs for different shots. The C wedge is 42 degrees, which acts like the old chippers you used to see. The loft on this club is similar to a 9 iron, so it’s a great choice to play a bump and run pitch shot from the fairway. The reviews have been outstanding,

and I can’t wait to try this club out! The S wedge is 58 degrees and acts like a sand/lob wedge, which makes it the perfect choice from the sand and all those little touch shots around the greens. Both clubs have a similar look (sleek black head) with a wide and forgiving sole. So if you’re in the market for new clubs, or just looking to add a few new ones to your set, consider finding something that actually is designed to work for your game and not the pros.

Studio offers roads to wellness through tai chi BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

STILLWATER — Visiting downtown on a Saturday morning this summer, you may notice a group of people in Lowell Park who move in sync as they practice the ancient Chinese martial art of tai chi. Like yoga, this graceful, dance-like art can help improve physical and psychological health. In China, it is common to see groups of people perform tai chi together in public spaces before going about their day. “What a great way to start the day,” said Aimee Van Ostrand, tai chi instructor and owner of Healing Within Acupuncture. “They connect with each other, they move their bodies, they get this exercise, they're outside. Everybody knows this form because they learn it when they're little. It's beautiful, and then they all disperse, they go to work, they go to school, they do their thing … as opposed to us, where we down a couple cups of coffee and sit in trafﬁc. That difference is huge, as far as your health (is concerned). We have this vision of just having a hundred people practicing tai chi by the river because it is a great way to start the day.” Tai chi by the river started last summer, when Van Ostrand brought one of her classes to practice outside. The group continued to meet on Saturday mornings throughout the summer. The outdoor sessions aren't instructional lessons, but Van Ostrand leads the group in rehearsing the movements of the Yang-style short form. Practicing near the river is a challenge in itself — tai chi is a meditative activity, and Lowell Park is a busy and distracting environment. The outdoor practice can help stimulate an even deeper level of focus. “When you're indoors, the environment is completely controlled, so it's easy to get into that meditative state,” Van Ostrand said. “But it's a different level of meditation when you're out by the river where there's so many things that can distract you.” Healing Within Acupuncture recently moved from its downtown location on Second Street to a South Hill location on Fourth Street, across from Meister's Bar

and Grill. Though she enjoyed the historic character of the Second Street space, Van Ostrand said the move will make it easier for all of her patients. “I have patients with walkers, wheelchairs … to be handicapped accessible is a huge thing,” she said. Van Ostrand describes Healing Within as not so much of a clinic as a “wellness studio,” since in addition to acupuncture treatment it offers instructive activities such as tai chi and yoga. Van Ostrand has lived in White Bear Lake with her family for more than 20 years. When her kids became more independent, she began thinking about going back to school and was encouraged by her own acupuncturist, Andy Leininger, to study Oriental medicine. He continued to support her in her journey, and once she graduated they worked together doing community acupuncture for HealthEast in downtown St. Paul. Before she opened up Healing Within in Stillwater two and a half years ago, she worked out of the Drishti Yoga studio in downtown White Bear Lake. She still works there two days a week, but spends most her time at the studio in Stillwater. It was Marilyn Calver of Compass Health who enticed Van Ostrand to make the move to Stillwater when she learned that Van Ostrand was one of only a few studios offering community acupuncture. The community acupuncture model

started in Portland, Oregon a few years ago, Van Ostrand said. Not all insurance covers acupuncture treatment, or it might limit the number of visits patients are able to make. The group-style treatment is designed to give regular treatments on a sliding pay scale so that people with chronic pain, or who use acupuncture for health maintenance, can have regular sessions at a more affordable rate. “People pay what they can afford, and they can come in as often as they need to,” Van Ostrand said. “Because I treat in a group setting, it makes it sustainable for me, because I can see multiple people in a given hour, and that's what makes it accessible.” The new space also has two private treatment rooms, if community acupuncture is not the best option. Van Ostrand works closely with Calver, who will teach yoga classes at the new location. Calver assists Healing Within with its many patients who are veterans and people who struggle with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Calver teaches yoga and meditation, while Van Ostrand handles acupuncture and another colleague offers tai chi instruction. These services are available by donation only to veterans. “Our idea is to be able to give them different options in what might work for them,” Van Ostrand said. “One thing

that might work for one person might not work for another person. Post-traumatic stress is such a complex condition that you have to go at it from different angles. So to have those in one place … I think it's very beneficial, because when you're dealing with extreme anxiety, sometimes to have to go to another place produces more stress. So if they're already used to coming to that space for acupuncture, it's a lot easier to come to that same space for some sort of movement or meditation as well.” Since some patients have limited mobility, classes are also designed to serve clients of varying ability levels, including a seated tai chi option if standing is difficult. “The thing is to find a practice that resonates with you,” Van Ostrand said. “If you get to do something, it's very different than when you have to do something. This is a practice you need to do for the rest of your life. It's not something you do until you feel better. It's not like you learn tai chi and then go back and sit and watch TV. Learning the form is just the beginning of it, and then you practice it the rest of your life. In that practice is where the health benefit is.” Summer tai chi classes take place in Lowell Park at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and are free and open to all. “I've had people who just come in and just follow along — (they) have no experience with tai chi at all,” Van Ostrand said. “The nice thing about tai chi is you don't have to have special clothes. Come as you are. Technically you're supposed to do it barefoot and get your feet on the earth — you don't need any other special equipment. It's very mobile; you can just do it anywhere.” The group also hangs out at the Daily Grind afterward to discuss and socialize. Van Ostrand will offer another instructional tai chi class this fall, and she also teaches tai chi classes at the White Bear Center for the Arts. Healing Within Acupuncture is now located at 904 Fourth St. S., Stillwater. Learn more about Healing Within at www.healingwithinacupuncture.com.
