Shoreview band performs under 4th of July fireworks

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

The Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band started as a small group of 12 in the summer of 1994. Originally, the band was called the Shoreview Symphonic Band. It was formed to provide entertainment at the Slice of Shoreview celebration.

“A Shoreview resident, Steve Jackson, put an ad out in the Press asking if there are people

interested to get together, and put a band together, for the Slice of Shoreview parade,” said Alex Kahler, the band president.

The original group of 12 got together, practiced for the parade and performed their select songs in the back of a pickup truck. According to Kahler, the group decided to keep practicing and formed a small band.

Since then, the band has grown to over 80 members

and continues to perform throughout the year.

The band’s next concert will be at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 4 at West Park in White Bear Lake.

The group has played at the 4th of July celebration for over 20 years.

“We play through the fireworks,” Kahler explained.

VARIETY BAND: Honors American history with patriotic songs for the 4th FROM PAGE 1

show tunes, some of the fun marches and band works. At about nine o’clock we start what we call our ‘patriotic set.’”

Residents from Shoreview and other cities within the north metro make up the band.

Kahler, a trumpet player, joined the band 24 years ago. He moved to Shoreview in 2000. Kahler watched a rerun of the 1994 Slice concert on the local CTV channel.

“I stumbled upon that rebroadcast and watched it,” said Kahler. “And at the end of the broadcast there was a message ‘If you’re interested in joining the band call this number’ and I did.”

He called the number and gathered more information about the band.

Before joining, he had to see if the practice times worked his schedule, they did. Kahler attended practice that following week.

When the band decided to continue as a group, they spent a lot of time deciding what type of music they wanted to focus on. According to Kahler, the term “variety” was added to the band’s name because the group played a variety of music, including classical transcriptions, jazz, marches, pop music, show tunes and the traditional concert band repertoire.

“We try to include a swing piece in every concert, a march and standard wind-band literature,” Kahler said.

At the upcoming Fourth of July concert, visitors can expect to hear songs such as the Armed Forces Salute and Americana music that remembers specific battles and events in American history.

“At around that ten o’clock hour we play ‘America the Beautiful’ and a rendition of ‘Stars and Stripes Forever’ during the opening

fireworks,” Kahler added.

Kahler said the band continues to play at the Fourth of July celebration hosted by White Bear Lake because it is a great way to give back, and be a part, of the community.

Currently, the band is under the direction of music director Dr. Michael Scott.

The Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band maintains an active concert schedule. The year is highlighted by two formal concerts, both performed at Bethel University in the spring and in December. The band also performs in a number of north suburban community celebrations, including events in White Bear Lake, Roseville and Shoreview.

Happy fourth of July, traditions over the years

H

appy Fourth of July everyone! If you have plans, I hope you have fun and stay safe.

Over the years, I have spent the fourth doing a variety of different activities. Growing up, we used to go to my aunt and uncle’s house in Alexandria. They lived on Lake Latoka and a majority of the weekend was spent swimming on their beach, tubing behind their boat and fishing off of the dock. On the fourth, the resort lodge on the northeast side of the lake would have a fireworks show after dusk. We would lather on bug spray, bundle up in blankets, and take the boat out to the middle of the lake to watch the show.

We would sporadically go back to the lake, but when the Madeline’s cousins got older it was harder to balance everyone’s schedule.

Mail Soon, my family and I started Madeline Dolby spending our Fourth of July in Forest Lake.

My best friend, Alica, and I had started our own tradition until she went away to college. The two of us would go to the carnival hosted by the American Legion Post 225 in Forest Lake. She would play the same game repeatedly till she won me a prize. In order to win the game, you had to shoot a water gun into the opening of a balloon. If you popped the balloon before your other competitors, you got to pick out a prize. I cannot tell you how much money we spent trying to win a prize that first year. The first prize was a basset hound stuffed animal with overly large, plastic eyes. We named it Bernard the basset hound. The following year, she won me a bright pink llama that was named Becky. The third year, the game was too expensive, but we still played one round for old time’s sake.

After spending too much time, and money, at the carnival we would drive back to my house, eat a quick dinner with my parents, collect a few blankets and bug spray before adventuring back out to watch the fireworks in Lakeside Park. Due to the amount of people who went, we used to get there three hours before the show was predicted to start. We would lay out all the blankets from my house on the grass, cover ourselves with bug spray, chat with our friends who were there and watch the show.

Since then, I haven’t watched the fireworks nor went to the Forest Lake carnival until last summer. Two years ago, I worked on the Fourth of July. Last year was the first time that I decided to make the trek back to Lakeside Park with my dad to watch the fireworks. We both wanted to do something festive and made the split decision that morning to go. Of course, we got there at least two hours early and found a spot away from the large crowds of people. Instead of a blanket, we brought lawn chairs, sparkling water and, of course, bug spray. The theme of last year’s show was ‘Star Wars’ and included iconic music from the movies.

The show only lasted 15 minutes, but it was worth the wait. Forest Lake always has great fireworks show and I’m never disappointed afterwards.

This Fourth of July my family is headed up to Duluth to watch fireworks from the rooftop patio at a hotel we are spending the weekend at. The city puts on a show over Canal Park. I cannot imagine how awful the weekend traffic is going to be making the trek home, but it will be fun to start a new tradition with my family.

n the fabric of society, few programs have woven themselves as deeply into the American culture as Social Security. The economic devastation of the Great Depression further exposed society's vulnerabilities, with millions of older Americans in poverty and many more at risk of financial ruin. In response, the Social Security Act was signed into law to better ensure a measure of income security for older Americans in retirement.

Over the Movers & subsequent decades, has matured into Shakers ita vital source of Cathy McLeer guaranteed, inflationadjusted income for millions of retirees who pay in and earn their Social Security through payroll taxes they and their employers contribute throughout their working lives. Social Security also enjoys widespread support across all ages and demographic groups.

Today, nearly one in five Minnesota residents (1,069,913 people) receive Social Security. Most of those age 65 or older count on Social Security as their largest source of income, and about 25% of households rely on Social Security for 90% or more of their income.

With 90% of people saying Social Security is important to their retirement security, it is instructive to understand how it was created and how it has evolved over time.

Here's a timeline of significant events in the history of Social Security.

Aug. 14, 1935: President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law.

Aug. 10, 1939: The program was broadened to include benefits for workers’ dependents and survivors.

October 1950: Congress authorized the first cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), an increase of 77 percent.

September 1960: President Eisenhower signed a law amending the disability rules to permit payment of benefits to disabled workers of any age and to their dependents.

June 30, 1961: All workers are now allowed to retire early at age 62, albeit at a reduced Social Security benefit. Previously, benefits could not be claimed until the normal retirement age (NRA) of 65.

Oct. 30, 1972: President Nixon signed the Social Security Amendments making the cost-ofliving adjustment automatic each year, April 20, 1983: President Ronald Reagan signed into law sweeping changes to Social Security aimed at addressing the imminent Social Security funding gap. These included moving up scheduled increases in the payroll taxes that

fund Social Security, gradually raising the normal retirement age to 67, and making 50 percent of Social Security benefits taxable for recipients with incomes above $25,000 for an individual and $32,000 for married couples filing jointly.

Aug. 10, 1993: President Bill Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, a large deficit reduction package of tax increases and spending cuts that included a provision raising the share of Social Security benefits subject to income tax from 50 percent to 85 percent for beneficiaries with incomes above $34,000 (single) or $44,000 (couple).

May 6, 2024: According to the Social Security Trustees report, Social Security can pay full benefits until 2035. That doesn’t mean Social Security payments would end, but they would be funded only by each year’s payroll tax revenue. The Trustees estimate that would cover about 83 percent of scheduled benefit payments.

The history of Social Security is a testament to the promise between the government and its citizens.

From its humble beginnings during the Great Depression, Social Security has stood the test of time, having never missed a payment, providing a foundation of retirement security to generations of Americans.

We send our children to school to learn two plus two is four, not five. Science is a process of discovery, not “proof” of answers we want, democratic citizenship, that we are not always right, tolerance, values of wonder in art and music. Since 1980, adults have increasingly failed children. Lies dominate and pollute debate. Holocaust denial, the “tobacco playbook,” climate crisis denial, 2024 election lies. Social media makes young people sick. Daily lies pour out of right-wing media and many “Christian” stations. Medical facilities report dramatic increases for mental health services. Social media is full of misogyny, racism, abundant mistruths.

Blatant economic lies believed. The anti-George Washington running for president, on a campaign of egregious lies. R-W billionaires fund bogus economic (“Law & Economics”) and legal (“Originalism”) curricula. Judges attend “training sessions” funded by R-W billionaires in “law & economics” theory. Bogus “American history” books produced for K-12 students.

Rachel Carson attacked BECAUSE she successfully proved human environmental damage. Social Security and Medicare attacked BECAUSE they’ve been successful middle-class programs. The very idea government SHOULD work to support ordinary people like YOU attacked BECAUSE it helped create 1947-75 successful and prosperous middle-class America. The “rule of law” attacked BECAUSE a corporate con man found guilty (rules don’t apply to him). First and Second Amendments twisted out of DOCUMENTED 1787-92 intent. Progressive tax laws gutted BECAUSE they worked to build modern America.

YOUR children forbidden to learn DOCUMENTED historical and scientific truths BECAUSE R-W zealots and corporations don’t want them known.

The Russians and Chinese don’t need to create propaganda, they use American lies. A Republican president, Ford, said truth was the glue holding democracy together; now the Republican candidate and his ENABLERS suppress truth. Numerous books discuss “The Death of Truth.”

America IS “heading in the wrong direction,” since 1980, BECAUSE of numerous R-W actions (tax cuts for rich, corrupt Supreme Court) – which “true believers” refuse to accept, blame others for political gain. The 2024 election is a REALITY TEST; a test to see if American adults can return to lessons learned K-12; two plus two equals four, not five.

Ramsey County updates Hazard Mitigation Plan

Ramsey County has begun the process of updating the 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) to all municipalities in Ramsey County in order to remain eligible to receive certain types of federal funding to reduce hazard risk. The HMP focuses on understanding the natural risks and hazards that threaten the county, identifying community capabilities that can be used to mitigate risks. This allows the county to lay out a comprehensive hazard mitigation strategy to buy down risks from those hazards.

Public participation and feedback are an important part of the hazard mitigation planning process. Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security has developed a brief survey to assist in providing the public with an opportunity to contribute to the plan update. The survey will focus on the public’s experience with hazards, including recommendations for hazard reduction.

All information collected from the survey will be anonymous. Ramsey County residents are asked to complete the survey by Friday, July 12. The form can be found online at https://forms.office.com/r/tk5ySqn1Ha.

Know before you go: Parking changes at the ‘Slice’

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

This year, residents who plan to attend the Slice of Shoreview can expect changes to be made in parking and transportation during the weekend long festival.

Now, those who attend will be able to take a free shuttle bus, sponsored by Scannell Properties. The shuttle bus, provided by Rehbein Transit Company, will make continuous trips back and forth from Cummins, 3850 Victoria St. N., to Island Lake Park throughout the weekend.

Once again, Edina Realty agents will be providing golf cart shuttles at various locations within the park.

The golf cart shuttles will be available for visitors to utilize, if necessary.

“We have five shuttle stops within the park,” said Jacci Krebsbach, board chair of the Slice of Shoreview committee. “At every shuttle stop we have a sandwich board with our schedule on it and two or three folding chairs for people to sit there waiting for a ride.”

The biggest change visitors can expect, according to Krebsbach, is no parking will be allowed at Deluxe/ Scannell this year. Instead, visitors should plan to utilize the parking lot at Cummins.

Island Lake School, once used for visitor parking, will now only be available to Slice vendors. The shuttle bus will stop at the school for vendors and visitors.

In the past, 18 spots have been reserved for handicap parking at the Deluxe building. Now, visitor-only handicap parking will be available in the Island Lake parking lot all night on Friday, July 26 and all day on Saturday, July 27. Handicap parking will be limited on Sunday, July 28 due to the car show.

As in previous years, visitors will still be able to park on residential streets. Parking is free.

Slice of Shoreview will take place at Island Lake Park during the weekend of July 26-28. For more information about the shuttles, parking and the Slice of Shoreview, go to sliceofshoreview.com.

Do you, or would you like to, safely drive, bike, or walk along Highway 96 on the north side of White Bear Lake? Over the next 12 months, Ramsey and Washington Counties will gather citizen input to guide them in reimagining the corridor between Highway 61 and Stillwater.

Washington County, which recently accepted responsibility for its segment of Highway 96, has earmarked completion of its portion of this roadway for improvements in 2028.

Ramsey County is choosing to examine its stretch, fostering a collaborative planning and implementation process. Considerations will include accommodations for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motor vehicles.

“Both counties recognize the opportunity a corridor study presents to explore trail feasibility in greater detail, identify implementation strategies, and engage area stakeholders and property owners,” a press release from Washington County announcing the study said.

Lake Links board member Kevin Donovan answers questions and points to the last remaining segments along Highway 96 and in Dellwood needed to finish a complete trail loop around White Bear Lake.

White Bear Lake is a vital part of the Regional Mobility Vision detailed in the 2001 Lake Links Trail Network Master Plan initiated by Ramsey County Parks and Washington County Parks.

The upcoming public engagement and planning process will advance efforts to complete the Lake Links Trail, a 10-mile active mobility route circling White Bear Lake. Citizen-led efforts have led to garnering $9.8 million in state funding and the completion of nearly 80 percent of that route to date.

White Bear Lake and the Saputo Station Pavilion are visible behind Lake Links board members, city officials and community members as they gather around Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt during a recent ribbon cutting dedication ceremony to celebrate the completion of Lake Links Trail improvements along South Shore Boulevard in the City of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township. The improvements, made possible with citizen engagement, legislative funding and persistent support from civic leaders, provide another safe space for people to walk, bike and roll.

“Collecting the stories and experiences of those most impacted by the current highway conditions will be essential to ensuring a final design solution providing safety and access equally for all users,” said Mike Brooks, chair of the Lake Links Association, the nonprofit group behind the initiative. “We encourage everyone

impacted by this highway to share their vision during the public engagement process.”

Washington County will provide additional information on the project and the citizen input process as it becomes available.

Shoreview musician continues to share original songs

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

Douglas Tomhave, of Shoreview, has been surrounded by music since he was a child. His grandmother was an organist at her smalltown rural church. Tomhave remembers his father being a powerful vocalist and performing at ceremonial events, such as weddings.

His parents performed in theatrical productions and the church choir too.

Tomhave has continued the legacy of his family’s involvement in the performing arts by putting his original music out into the world with the help of his older brother, Roger, his daughter Lauren Nikohl and her partner Jeff Landby.

Growing up, Tomhave took formal piano lessons. He found that the formalized music did not fit the type of music he liked to learn. When he was a teen, Tomhave learned how to play the guitar.

“I picked up the guitar probably when I was about 13,” said Tomhave. “And my brother Roger taught me the cords. So, I started songwriting then.”

Tomhave got into songwriting because he did not have a lot of access to cover music at the time. At the same time, his older brother was writing his own songs.

“He was doing some song writing then too, and I thought ‘well okay, I can be like my older brother,” he said. “It was just something that interested me.”

Tomhave’s daughter Lauren and Tomhave perform together.

You can stream Tomhave’s song “Planetary Visions” on all streaming platforms.

Tomhave would write a poem and would try to put music to it. Sometimes, he would create songs backwards. He would be playing chords on the guitar, and it would evolve into a guitar progression. From there, he would look through an encyclopedia and create lyrics from that.

In college, Tomhave had a guitar teacher that asked him what type of songs he wanted to learn. His teacher then learned the songs, transcribed them and taught them to Tomhave.

“It’s really motivating when you have the power, and desire, of what you want to learn pushing your rather than formalized structure that you have to learn,” said Tomhave.

As much as Tomhave did not enjoy the piano lessons, he said they benefitted him in the long run.

Most of Tomhave’s work has been done in two phases. The first was post-college.

“As a post-college student, your influenced by a lot

of different thought, your professors, your friends, other intellectual people that you interact with,” Tomhave said.

“So, then my songwriting changed a bit to some of those themes.”

Now, Tomhave is in the second phase of his music career. He calls it “post retirement.”

As a birthday gift, Nikohl and Landby, are helping Tomhave re-record original music that he wrote in his younger years from a cassette tape that Tomhave gave to his wife when they were dating.

“It came as a little bit of a surprise,” said Tomhave.

“Because I had already been in my own home studio working on recording my twenty plus songs as something to pass forward.”

Nikohl and Landby helped with the production, and the release, of two of Tomhave’s songs. The two songs they selected to produce were “Take it Away” and “Planetary Visions.”

Tomhave’s only request was that the two were featured in the songs. On “Take it Away,” listeners will hear Landby on the violin. Nikohl and Landby helped with vocal coaching, editing and encouragement.

“I considered their performances to be the gift,” Tomhave said.

The cassette tape he gave to his wife has 27 songs, all written and performed by Tomhave’s younger self.

“Some of them are really eclectic, a lot of them are love songs that I’ve written for my wife and some of them are just true to storytelling,” he explained.

The Shoreview musician said he is working on rewriting and reviewing some of the songs to make them less awkward and more powerful. He describes it as collaborating with his younger self. He added that his songs are now more focused on storytelling.

“I’m doing a lot more collaborative music writing with my brother and some of

the people that he knows,” he said. “Musically, I have a lot more skill at both the guitar and the piano so it allows me to do more things that I wouldn’t have even dreamed I could’ve done when I was writing those songs.”

In partnership with his family, Tomhave is working at Monitor Sound in St. Paul with Scott Monitor on other songs from the tape.

Mustangs place 2nd at state; lose to Raptors at Target Field

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View is the state runner-up in Class 4A baseball after losing to East Ridge (3-2) in the finals Saturday, June 22, at Target Field. The Mustangs had the lead before the East Ridge Raptors scored in the sixth and seventh innings to grab the championship title.

“Everybody’s goal is to be playing baseball on the last day of the season, and we did that,” said Mustang standout Tyler Guerin. “It was a lot of fun playing in the finals at Target Field with the guys I grew up with. It was an unfortunate loss, but we battled, like we did all year.”

The Raptors, under coach Brian Strout, are Class 4A champions for the third time in the last five tournaments.

They have never lost a state tourney game.

With two of the state’s top college prospects as starting pitchers, there was not much offense, and four of the five runs were results of miscues, including the winning run on a wild pitch. It was a long afternoon, with a two-hour rain delay in the fourth inning.

East Ridge’s Maxwell Arlich, signed

by Texas A&M, threw a four-hitter with no walks and five strikeouts. He was the state finals winning pitcher for the second year in a row.

Guerin, signed by Iowa, led 2-1 after his five-inning stint. Andrew Gette, at the end of a terrific sophomore season,

Charlie Kelly scored on a head-first slide, with teammates watching anxiously, as the Mustangs took a 2-0 lead in the first at Target Field.

took the loss in relief.

Mounds View, coached by Nik Anderson, finished 20-9, highlighted by a semifinal win over the state’s lone unbeaten team, Wayzata, which finished in third place.

“When we saw our bracket, our first goal was to play Wayzata and ruin their perfect season, and we did that,” Geurin said. “Our second goal, then, was to win it all, and we didn’t quite get it done.”

Mounds View finished their season 20-9. It was highlighted by a semifinal win (5-4) in an eight-inning conquest of the state’s lone unbeaten team, Wayzata, who finished in third place.

During the Suburban East Conference Tournament Mounds View won their first matchup (10-4) and lost the second (2-1). The Raptors tied Stillwater for

the conference title at 13-5, then beat the Ponies twice in the Section 4 tournament.

This was the 11th state tourney for Mounds View and third time in the finals. They won the championship title back-to-back in 2013 and 2014.

Mounds View had a great start, taking a 2–0 lead after four batters.

Hayden Sperbeck led off with an infield single down the first base line. Guerin hit a sharp single through the hole to left. Charlie Kelly pinch-ran for the pitcher. Jack Glancey bunted them to second and third. Both Sperbeck and Kelly scored when East Ridge’s second baseman was not able to glove Isaac Beseman’s hard grounder. With the ball rolling toward second base, Kelly churned around third and beat the throw home.

PHOTOS BY BRUCE STRAND | CONTRIBUTED

Tyler Guerin, who threw five strong innings against East Ridge, was an all-tournament pick along with Hayden Sperbeck and Jack Glancey.

Guerin gave up three hits, along with four walks and struck out three. East Ridge scored in the first on two singles, a walk and a long sacrifice fly by Luke Ryerse. In the fifth, with a runner on second and two outs, Beseman snagged a bouncer behind second. base His hurried throw was in the dirt but Nate Edelman scooped it up to beat the runner by an eyelash. That was the last batter Guerin faced.

Gette, a lanky right-hander, was 8-2 with a 1.40 earned-run-average (ERA) entering the game, including a firstround win at state, but he was not able to hold the lead. In both innings, he walked the leadoff man on a 3-2 pitch.

In each case, a pinch-runner stole second and wound-up scoring.

Adrian Thompson, in the sixth, swiped second base, advanced to third on a passed ball as a pitch popped out of Robert Price’s mitt, then scored on a long sac fly by Bennett Skinner, knotting the score 2-2.

Glancey led off the seventh by drilling a double to the right-field wall, giving Mounds View hope of regaining the lead. However, he was out at third after Beseman’s long fly ball out to left field.

Bennett Skinner’s throw from the outfield and Luke Skinner’s relay was a huge double play for the Raptors.

In the bottom of the seventh, after the leadoff walk, pinch-runner Caden Stern stole second, then dashed to third and home on wild pitches by Gette with nobody out. The play made by Stern concluded the championship game.
