BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

What was once an old medical building on Churchill Street is now the home of financial services software development company Nextek. On a nearly perfect summer day, staff of Nextek, city leaders and members of the community celebrated the grand opening of the new Nextek building with a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 22. “All I’m in charge of today is the weather,” said Nate Lucius, president of Gradient Financial Group. Nextek’s parent company Gradient Financial Group purchased the building in the fall of 2019 for

an expansion of Nextek’s business operations. “We did not see COVID coming,” Nate said. “However, when we purchased this building, we knew it needed a little bit of love.” The new technological building has 20,000 square feet of open office space. “I truly believe this building will last a long time,” Nate said. “You’re going to see a lot of buildings like it in the future, and I hope that they’re all in Shoreview.” Shoreview Mayor Sandy Martin spoke at the ceremony and said the City Council has been supportive of this project since the beginning. “We are honored that Nextek chose Shoreview. It’s great not just economically, it’s great because it’s

a revitalization of this whole area,” she said. “You have transformed this outdated old medical office into a newly renovated building. I think that’s symbolic in many ways of the creativeness and innovation of Nextek and Gradient in that you saw value in this building and wanted to make something even better. I’m looking forward to this partnership that we’ve established with all of you, and I think the future looks very bright.” Nextek develops a sales acceleration platform for financial services professionals by providing actionable insights, data-driven processes and streamlined integrations.

Youth baseball coach reverently remembered, sorely missed Mike Anderson was invited to a Mounds View baseball practice early in April by coach Mark Downey to pose for a group photo with Mustang players. “Mike and I frequently talked about how many players on the Mounds View teams that he had coached,” Downey explained, “and how fun that was for him, to see them develop. This spring, he commented that in looking over the rosters, he had coached well over half the players. So, we had him come to a practice early in the season.” Downey got the photo he wanted — Anderson was flanked by 28 players from the

varsity, JV and junior high. “I know it was special for him, and it was really fun for me too,” said Downey, who didn’t realize at the time how much he and others would cherish that photo. Just weeks later, Anderson was dead. The beloved Shoreview Area Youth Baseball (SAYB) coach and administrator for over two decades passed away unexpectedly on May 20 at the age of 62. Anderson is survived by his wife Liz; his son, Mikey, and his wife; and his daughter, Jessie. Mikey was one of hundreds of players coached by Mike, who was a senior vice president at Lifetouch, a photography firm. “Mike loved baseball. What he loved even more was kids, and using baseball as

a means to helping kids develop character, teamwork, discipline and an ability to handle adversity — that was at the forefront of everything he did with the teams he coached,” Downey said. That’s an observation about “Coach Mike” shared by other longtime SAYB associates. Erik Drange met Anderson seven years ago when he joined the SAYB because he had a son, then 8, who was passionate about baseball. “I can remember Mike at my first meeting,” Drange said, “observing his leadership and command of the nitty gritty of the association and its operation from top to bottom.” Anderson was coaching the 13- to 15-year-

olds then, and seemed to have served SAYB in every possible function, including as president. Drange and Anderson were both former wrestlers and bonded by swapping “stories of our glory years.” After a few years on the board, Drange was asked to run for president. He agreed, on the condition that Mike “stick around as a mentor.” They worked together for several years, communicating every day via text, email or phone. “It was impressive how he continued to give his time for many years after his son had already been out of the game,” Drange said. “He put in countless hours into SAYB every year.”

New public Montessori school option in Shoreview BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

Nestled on a secluded 7-acre parcel in Shoreview resides Oak Hill Montessori Community School. Once a private school, Oak Hill Montessori Community School (OHMCS) is now a public charter school for grades K-8 beginning with the 2021-22 school year and beyond. The new school will also offer tuition-based Montessori programming for children ages 16 months through pre-K. A Founders Day Celebration is planned at 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 14, and the school invites the community to participate in the commemoration. The celebration will be held on the OHMCS campus at 4665 Hodgson Road in Shoreview and will include brief remarks and refreshments, with time for tours of the building tours and a walkabout in the school’s outdoor spaces and through the playgrounds. OHMCS is recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the original organization created by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1929. Head of School Erin Doan said the decision to become a public charter school was in part because Montessori in general promotes education for all and independence for its learners. “It really is a disconnect in general, regardless if you’re talking about Montessori in Minnesota or anywhere in the U.S., you end up usually having to pay tuition, which was not Dr. Montessori’s vision at all. She began her work with children who had special needs in some of the poorest areas in Italy. So the fact that you’re promoting one thing and then saying you have to write a check to have access to it is really at odds with our mission,” Doan said.

These pre-schoolers learn about catterpillars at Oak Hill Montessori School.

“We looked for a way to open up Montessori individual learning opportunities to anyone who is interested in following that model. We also provide special education services as a public school, which we couldn’t do as a private school.” According to Doan, OHMCS has been inspiring children to become passionate learners and independent thinkers for more than 50 years by providing challenging academics that foster creativity and responsibility as students prepare for high school, college and beyond. The school’s outdoor space

provides a beautiful and safe campus that is specifically designed to meet the developmental needs of children and offer outdoor environments for exploration and study. “We’re lucky to have this property, because we focus on environmental education, local agriculture and exposure for kids with different types of opportunities and talents at their early elementary years,” Doan said. “Our toddlers get in on the action by picking basil from our greenhouse, and then they get to make pesto.” In Minnesota, public charter schools are required to have an authorizer in order to get started. “It’s sort of like a sponsor, and our authorizer is the Minnesota Office of Charter Authorization (MOCHA),” Doan said. “They basically act as an entity that provides technical assistance to public charters to make sure we operate in line with all the state rules.” Doan noted that public charter schools in Minnesota have their own school district. OHMCS is District 4289. Classrooms are already full for the 2021-22 academic year, and there is a waiting list. Any available openings for the 2022-23 school year will be fi lled through an open enrollment process this winter, with a public lottery, if needed. Open enrollment dates will be listed on the OHMCS website when they become available. “Our goal is to open as a public charter school and make sure we have a really solid foundation in providing for all the different types of students that are in our community while working on how to best serve their needs,” Doan said.

NEWS BRIEF Project refi financing saves taxpayers nearly $40 million over 5 years

SAINT PAUL — East Metro taxpayers have saved nearly $40 million on capital projects over the last five years, the Joint Powers Tax Advisory Committee (JPTAC) announced last week, due to favorable refinancing by the City of Saint Paul, Ramsey County, and the Saint Paul Public School District. The Joint Powers Tax Advisory Committee consists of elected and appointed officials from the City of Saint Paul, Ramsey County and Saint Paul Independent School District 625 (SPPS). The main purpose of JPTAC is to coordinate actions on budgets and taxation that jointly affect the residents and taxpayers in the City of Saint Paul who are

served and taxed by the three units of local government. “Stretching every dollar for taxpayers across Ramsey County is foundational to our vision, mission and goals – especially the goal of Accountability,” Victoria Reinhardt, Ramsey County’s budget committee chair and JPTAC representative said. “Our regional library system – available to everyone across the East Metro – is an excellent example of how our ability to stretch every dollar benefits Saint Paul and Ramsey County families.” Ramsey County has saved $10.8 million through refinancing of 12 bond issues across five years. These savings allowed Ramsey County to invest in additional projects, including at Ramsey County Library in Shoreview.

YMCA offers teens free summer membership

The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation and the YMCA of the North will offer free memberships for thousands of teens and young adults this summer. From June 21 to Sept. 30, teens can take advantage of this free membership at 21 YMCA locations throughout the Twin Cities. The YMCA is positioned to help ensure that youth of all backgrounds and incomes have access to learning opportunities outside of school. The Y’s locations cut across city, county and school district boundaries. More than 80 percent of Twin Cities teens live within 15 minutes of a YMCA location that offers opportunities for wellness, sports, leadership activities, STEM projects and more. “The YMCA Get Summer program is making a real difference in our community by providing a safe space for youth to connect and have fun while learning important lifelong skills,” said Mark Dienhart, president and chief executive officer of the Schulze Family Foundation. “We believe supporting this program offers a truly unique opportunity to engage youth in their neighborhood with educational and enriching experiences with caring mentors and role models.” This year, the YMCA will offer teens entering grades 9-12 an opportunity to be engaged in fitness and

wellness programming at the Y. They will also have opportunities for in-person and virtual teen specific programming, including health and well-being classes, leadership and character development programs and access to gymnasium, fitness floor and aquatics areas. "The YMCA has given me so many options since getting my membership. You can always find me with my friends playing basketball or lifting weights throughout the week. This structure to my routine is crucial to my mental, emotional and physical health.” said Jacob, 16-year-old from Forest Lake area. “The YMCA is thrilled to partner with the Schulze Family Foundation to provide a safe environment for young people to engage in programs that promote healthy living, build character and leadership, and support success in school and in life,” said Glen Gunderson, president of the YMCA of the North. “The Y is committed to eliminating barriers to participation so all have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive during out-of-school time. This program is possible because of the generous donation from the Schulze family.” For more information, visit ymcanorth.org/locations. From press release

Making 5-pound bass club

ishing is very competitive in my family for those of us who love to fish. It’s a friendly competition; but a competition, none the less. We spend a lot of our time fishing at our family cabin in Wisconsin. It’s a place I’ve gone to my entire life to swim, water ski and most of all fish. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved to fish. My dad took me, my two sisters, Holly and Stephanie and brother Matt out fishing as soon as we could walk. Holly, Matt and I caught the fishing bug while Stephanie found it rather boring (unless she was catching fish). We’ve caught many fish throughout the years and always tally the numbers on how many fish each of us caught and who caught the biggest. My dad even has a fishing log dating Noelle’s back thirty years or so. Fishing has taught me many Notes valuable lessons throughout my Noelle Olson life with the most important one learning the art of patience. One summer a few years ago, the largemouth bass fishing was on fire. All of the bass we’ve caught and released throughout the years finally had gotten nice and big. My son Lukas, my nephew Logan and Holly all caught their first 5-pound bass that summer. My dad had already caught at least 10 and even a few six pounders. I started to feel the pressure! It got me thinking about maybe getting a plaque for the cabin and have it read, “The Big Wood Lake 5-Pound Bass Club.” When I mentioned it, everyone thought it was a great idea. As usual, I raced up to the cabin one Friday night anticipating a great night of fishing. It was my sister Holly’s birthday and she had driven the long drive from Balaton to spend time at the cabin. There’s only room for three people in our fishing boat, so Holly, my dad and I went out to fish for the evening after dinner. We were all using 7-inch sinking pumpkin seed Gulps for bait (very stinky). My dad has named all of the fishing spots on Big Wood Lake, and we headed to a few of them that August night, but none of us even had a nibble. We are all getting frustrated. The sun was starting to set so we decided to go to the south of the isle bar which is a long bar connected with a double island, and try the spot before we headed back to the cabin. I told Holly and my dad that even though I hadn’t caught a five-pound bass, I was still going to buy a plaque for the cabin with the names of everyone in the family who had caught the big one. As soon as I said that, I cast my line out and ... boom! A hit! I set the hook and I could tell it was a big one. I was really hoping it wasn’t a catfish or a northern because I really don’t like taking those fish off the hook. Suddenly the bass jumped out of the water and I was excited! I let my drag out, and told my dad to get the net. There was no way I was going to lose this one. I reeled the bass in and my dad said, “it looks like you made the club” with a cigarette in his mouth. I looked at Holly and said “happy birthday” with a smile on my face. She was laughing so hard and I asked her what was so funny and she said “do you realize that you caught this bass right after you said you were going to buy that plaque for the cabin? It’s divine intervention.” I thought I had my largemouth bass to mount and put on the wall at the cabin. However, my dad weighed the bass and it was nearly six pounds. I questioned his rusty weight scale from the 1960’s and he said I should put it back in the lake and wait until I catch one that is at least six- pounds. So after Holly took a picture of me with my bass, I said a bittersweet goodbye and put it back in the lake. Another fishing story for the books. I did get the plaque with the names of the five-pound bass club members of Big Wood Lake. They are: my uncle Del, my dad Jerry Logan, Lukas, Logan, Holly and me. But there is still room for more.

Rep. Moller works to deliver brighter future for Minnesotans after COVID-19

t the State Capitol, lawmakers have successfully delivered a new two-year state budget that invests in the future of Minnesotans. COVID-19 presented numerous roadblocks, and we had a responsibility to meet the moment and give all Minnesotans an opportunity to thrive. This session, I served as vice chair of the House Judiciary Committee and I was honored to have the opportunity Movers & to help craft a bipartisan Shakers Public Safety and Judiciary Kelly Moller budget compromise. It included several important priorities I’ve worked on all session to strengthen Minnesota’s sexual assault laws. Legislators heard many stories from survivors about how our current criminal sexual conduct laws have failed them, and as a result, their attackers weren’t held accountable. A state Supreme Court ruling this spring – that the deﬁnition of “mentally incapacitated” doesn’t include a person who became intoxicated after voluntarily consuming alcohol – created a renewed sense of urgency. I carried a bill incorporating a variety of recommendations from a

survivor-led workgroup to help ensure they can receive justice. Our Public Safety budget included these important reforms, as well as “Sheyla’s Law, the idea for which was brought to me by a community member, to transfer sexual assault investigations within the Minnesota National Guard to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Additionally, the Public Safety budget included my legislation to reform our DWI law as well as our civil forfeiture laws. We also worked to deliver the criminal justice and police accountability reform people have been calling for. Regrettably, our bipartisan agreement included a level of reform that fell short of what Minnesotans deserve after last year’s murder of George Floyd and the recent death of Daunte Wright. We have a responsibility to ensure all Minnesotans can be safe in their communities and be treated with dignity and respect when they interact with law enforcement and this important work will continue into the future. Minnesota learners faced tremendous difﬁculties over the last year, while teachers and parents faced their own unique challenges. I’m proud lawmakers worked together to deliver a bipartisan E-12 Education budget with historic investments in Minnesota’s schools. Additionally, our Education bill included my

Seizure Smart School bill to require schools to create action plans and provide training to ensure students with epilepsy can be safe and supported at school. COVID-19 exposed many difficulties many vulnerable Minnesotans – like people with disabilities – face in their daily lives, which the pandemic exacerbated. Our bipartisan Health and Human Services budget included my bill investing in customized living quality improvement grants to help home and communitybased service (HCBS) providers innovate and provide more efficient, higher quality services. It also contained my bill – developed by people with disabilities and advocates – to develop standards for the informed decision-making process within HCBS. Without a doubt, the past year has been more difficult than any of us could have imagined. Following the bipartisan results we delivered this session at the State Capitol, all Minnesotans will be in a better position to experience the bright future they deserve. Rep. Kelly Moller represents all or part of Shoreview, Mounds View, Arden Hills, and Spring Lake Park in the Minnesota House.

City imposes watering restrictions, looks forward to summer events BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

Summer in Shoreview has begun. Because of the recent hot and dry weather, the city has imposed watering restrictions until Sept. 15. “With this very dry spell we’ve been going through and with the hot temperatures, (it) has put a stress on our watering capabilities, said Mayor Sandy Martin during the June 21 City Council meeting. “We’re not at any risk and have plenty of water,” she noted. Residents can water before 11 a.m. or after 5 p.m. on their watering day, which is based on their house number. Those with odd house numbers may water on odd-numbered days, and those with even numbers may water on even-numbered days. Car washing, children running or playing in sprinklers, filling a child’s pool, and hand watering of plants or shrubs are permitted at any time. Council Member Emy Johnson said that with people out and about now,

she has seen an increase in speeding throughout the city and would hate to see anyone in the community suffer an injury. She reminded residents to be focused on safety and said, “safety and security will always be my motto.” Martin explained that there are still openings for the Citizens Academy held on Wednesdays beginning Aug. 4 to Sept. 8 for three-hour sessions at City Hall. “It is a great opportunity for anyone in our community who wants to learn more about all aspects of city government — from finances, to planning, to public safety and to administration,” Martin said. City Manager Terry Schwerm anoteddded that participants get to make their own street sign with their name on it. People can register on the city website at www.shoreviewmn. gov/government/citizens-leadershipacademy/application. Martin announced that the farmers market is up and running from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays at the Shoreview Community Center.

The farmers market is a weekly summer event that brings the community together and features local fresh produce, handcrafted artisan items and live entertainment. “Things are starting to come in, and there are some wonderful new vendors that haven’t been there before,” Martin said. More than 650 people came to the first summer Concerts in the Commons on Wednesday, June 16 at the Shoreview Commons. “It was a beautiful evening, and there were lots of friendly faces in the audience,” Martin said. Upcoming Concerts in the Commons include the band Church of Cash — a tribute to Johnny Cash on July 7; and the band ABBAsolutely Fab — a tribute to ABBA on July 14. Concerts are held on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. and are free. As the Slice of Shoreview festival is back on this year, Council Member Cory Springhorn expressed his excitement for the , which will take

place July 23-25. “The food, the bands, the crafts, the classic cars, the fireworks — all back after being much missed last year,” he said. “If you’re a person who hasn’t in the past 15 months been in a crowd of more than 10 people, you might want to go to a concert in the commons first and work your way up and be ready for the Slice of Shoreview. Then after that, you’ll be ready for the State Fair.” Council Member Sue Denkinger also recognized all of the planning that goes on to create the large event. “The time these folks started the planning (for Slice of Shoreview), there was so much uncertainty on what was allowable. The fact that they were able to pull this together in the time that they did is really admirable,” Denkinger said. “I want to salute all of those volunteers.” Martin announced that the July 6 City Council meeting has been canceled. The next council meeting will be Monday, July 19, at City Hall.

BASEBALL COACH: Had a knack for connecting with kids FROM PAGE 1

To many, Mike was the face of SAYB, Drange noted. “With Mike, every encounter started with, ‘Hey, Bud, how’s it going?’ and ended with ‘All right, Bud, talk to you later,’” Drange said. “He was known as a coach that had success achieved not by a win-at-all-costs approach, but rather by developing all players and striking a balance between winning, teaching the fundamentals of the game, and how to have fun along the way.” Jay Guerin’s sons Blake and Tyler played for Anderson and the two baseball dads became fast friends. When Blake recently signed with a college team, one

of his first calls was to Mike, who coached him at age 10-11. “It felt like he used baseball the right way,” said Guerin, “which was as a tool to teach life lessons and to help make kids be better

people, not just to win championships — which he was actually pretty successful with as well.” Anderson had “a knack for connecting with kids (who) others had brushed off,” Guerin added,

by recognizing each kid’s individual needs. As a tactician, Anderson always treated early games as practices where he analyzed the kids’ talents.

“His teams always seemed to peak at the right time,” Guerin said. “And I firmly believe it was because he was so tedious in the early goings to be sure he had kids in the right spots.” Anderson’s memory was honored at a Mustang game early in the season. Countless anecdotes about him have been shared by his many friends since his passing. And there’s sentiment for doing something more concrete. “Many of us are working on naming a park or field after him,” Guerin said. “We feel that’s the least we can do for such a great person that did so much for the community.”

Rough homecoming for Injuries curtail Fixsen’s soph season at Georgia Hentges as Cleveland and delay Olympic hopes falls to Twins 8-2 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Sam Hentges, Cleveland rookie, took the loss in his start against the Twins at Target Field. BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Sam Hentges, Cleveland Indians rookie pitcher from Mounds View, played his first game in Minnesota since 2014 on Sunday when he started against the Minnesota Twins. The homecoming did not go well, as the 6-foot-6 lefthander took a beating in an 8-2 loss to the Twins. Hentges, 24, gave up six runs, six hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings, including home runs by Andrelton Simmons and Josh Donaldson, at Target Field. A contingent of about 35 friends and relatives was on hand. His stint ended on a bizarre play that left a teammate seriously injured. Jorge Polanco checked his swing on a high fastball from Hentges but the ball hit the bat and blooped into the outfield. Right fielder Josh Naylor, chasing the pop fly, collided with second baseman Ernie Clement, spun in the air and landed hard and awkwardly on his right leg, breaking a bone. The game was delayed 12 minutes for paramedics to remove Naylor. During that lull, Hentges was replaced by Justin Garza. The score was 4-1, but he left two runners on base, including Polanco, and both scored when Nelson Cruz homered off Garza to make it 7-1. During the telecast, Fox Sports North showed a film clip of Hentges’ last game at Target Field when teammates mobbed him on the mound after they beat Eden Prairie 9-0 for the state championship. Hentges signed with the Indians for a reported $700,000 bonus shortly after graduation. After six minor league seasons, he was called up to the big club on April 17. Interviewed by the Star-Tribune, Hentges said it was “very cool” to stand on the mound at Target Field again, this time as a big leaguer. About how the game went, he reflected that the Twins have some good, veteran hitters and that he wasn’t at his best. “The breaking balls weren’t inducing swings the way they usually do, and the fastball command wasn’t great. So just not a great day at the ballpark.” Hentges has a 1-2 record and 7.31 ERA in 35 2/3 innings. The Twins game was his fourth start. His lone win came in a relief role.

Julia Fixsen, the two-time state champion and state record holder in pole vault from Mounds View, was injured twice in her sophomore year at University of Georgia, and missed a chance to compete in the Olympic trials. Fixsen, who qualified in 2020 to compete this year’s Olympic trials, will aim now for 2024, said her mother, Laura. As a freshman at Georgia, Fixsen placed second in the SEC indoor meet with 14 feet, 7 1/2 inches, to qualify for the NCAA meet. The NCAA’s were not held due to the pandemic but she was named to the All-America team. Early in her sophomore indoor season, after clearing the bar at 13-8 in a meet, Fixsen missed the mat and landed on her backside on the track. She was only bruised, but had to work hard overcoming fear that resulted from the mishap. Fixsen captured the SEC indoor meet championship with a vault of 14-5 3/4 on Feb. 26. However, she suffered a foot injury just before the SEC meet, which got worse as time went on, and she did poorly at the NCAA indoor meet. In her first outdoor meet, she hurt the foot again and had to wear a boot for a stress reaction and strained ligaments. This is a slow-healing injury, and she was not able to compete in the Eastern region to try qualify for

Northeast metro muskie anglers encountering changes, challenges BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Anglers in the northeast metro area have been stalking the mighty muskellunge for decades. The muskie following today is stronger than ever, but one word is on the lips of anglers and fishery managers alike: change. Ryan McMahon lives in Mahtomedi and has been fishing muskies for 25 years and has guided clients for the past 10. He knows the northeast metro lakes well and has had a front row seat to changing dynamics in Owasso, Forest, White Bear and Bald Eagle lakes. “They’ve all gone through so many changes,” he says, citing the introduction of Zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species. He added, “weed growth has changed tremendously.” In general, McMahon reports a “steady decline in the last couple years” in the overall quality of muskie fishing, which means fewer fish seen and fewer catches. In his estimation, “2012 was the last good year.” In late 2013, Lake Owasso experienced a fish kill, and he says he’s waiting until that lake is about a decade out before he goes back. East Metro Area Fisheries Supervisor T.J. DeBates generally

cites all the same changes McMahon has observed. One complication in responding to those changes is a relatively recent statewide stocking guide, which dictates the stocking of fingerling-size muskies in many lakes, including Forest and Owasso. That is in contrast to White Bear and Bald Eagle, where DeBates is allowed to stock yearlings and adults — which fare better against competition and predation by other predator fish. However, the same plan that controls the stocking regimen also mandates getting a better handle on muskie demographics through a two-year lake sampling process. It promises to help managers finetune individual resources. “It’s a high priority in our area,” explains DeBates. “Our goal as biologists and managers is to collect the best data we can. In the next five to 10 years, we’ll have a real good picture (of each lake’s population).” Initial results are beginning to paint that picture through population estimates. Before COVID-19 interrupted survey efforts, East Metro Fisheries managed to survey Bald Eagle Lake and DeBates was “very impressed with the numbers and size of the fish.” But numbers don’t always translate into catches. McMahon notes recent difficulty finding and

enticing the fish on Bald Eagle. He knows muskie behavior changes often, and laughs it off: “it’s not my favorite lake right now.” He fishes it often, along with nearby White Bear, which he characterizes as deep and “crazy clear.” White Bear Lake has been known for its clear water, but Zebra mussels have augmented that clarity since they were introduced. DeBates notes that changing water clarity may cause behavioral changes in muskies. For one thing, as lake water becomes clearer, weeds tend to grow at depths previously unseen. Changes in weeds influence the location of bait fish and predators alike, and DeBates says that if anglers don’t adapt their approach, they may simply conclude there are fewer fish. He suggests the same may happen on Forest Lake, where Zebra mussels have also appeared. “Time will tell.” McMahon fishes Forest Lake often, and recognizes it as having its own unique characteristics. “It’s really cool. It has a good topwater bite and a good shallow water bite.” Locally, he splits his time between Forest, Bald Eagle and White Bear lakes, sometimes hitting two in one day. He stresses the importance of keeping abreast of what the fish are doing at any

one time: “You have to stay on your toes.” Another thing keeping the muskie crowd on its toes is the sheer popularity of the sport. Both McMahon and DeBates mention how muskie anglers have increased in number over the years. Lakes managed for muskies, however, number fewer than 100 statewide. As a result, relatively few adult fish encounter lures on a regular basis. These “educated” fish show signs of reluctance, which makes catching them more difficult over lifetimes that can last 20 years or more. All changes and complicating factors aside, McMahon continues

to ply local muskie waters regularly. Despite increasing difficulties catching fish, he derives satisfaction from providing clients what he calls “a fun, exciting experience.” “I enjoy the cat-and-mouse game aspect of it. It’s always a rewarding and interesting process.” When asked if muskies are truly “the fish of 10,000 casts,” he says, “No. I’m not sure where that idea comes from. Especially nowadays, with the technology we have and what we know about the fish, they should not be. There are no guarantees, but you should be able to have a good shot at catching one in less than 10,000 casts.”

Rice Creek Chain of Lakes: An underused recreation gem BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes is perfect for exploring by canoe and kayak.

dlers may encounter) and “box nets,” that is beginning to change. Kocian notes, “this was the first year we put a big dent in the population.” Approximately 16,000 carp have been removed from the system in the past year. The goal is to achieve an 80% reduction of the population, which was estimated at more than 30,000. Another invasive species that has found a home in the Rice Creek watershed is curlyleaf pondweed. RCWD Communication and Outreach Coordinator Beth Carreño said it can make passage on what she calls “an important water trail” difficult when it is at its vegetative peak. She explains that a recent drawdown of Lake Peltier was “somewhat successful” in reducing curly-leaf pondweed, and RCWD continues to work at it throughout the system. “(The Rice Creek Chain) is an area of high concern because

of carp and curly-leaf ... we’re looking at future projects.” From invasive species control efforts to streambank restoration projects on stretches of the rest of what Kocian calls “Middle Creek” (between Baldwin and Long lakes), those who follow Rice Creek’s meandering path can see that work up close. In the big scheme of things, it’s all about attaining the best water quality possible. Right now, it doesn’t look like many kayak and canoe users make use of the Rice Creek Water Trail. Kocian and Carreño estimate usage to be on the lighter side and admit there are no statistics available. This is mainly because no single agency oversees the recreational use of the water trail. Infrastructure is light, and access is provided cooperatively between RCWD and Ramsey and Anoka counties. Todd Murawski, recreation program

Those seeking peaceful lake recreation opportunities in the northeast metro area might not have the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes at the top of their list. They probably should. Throughout the open water season, visitors to the lake chain are treated to large tracts of wetland habitats and their natural residents. Kayakers and canoeists will also get a uniquely quiet experience, since shallow, weedy lakes discourage motor use. What’s more, those who explore there have the chance to witness environmental and habitat restoration work firsthand. The Rice Creek water trail traditionally starts below the dam at Peltier Lake and descends through George Watch, Marshan, Rice and Baldwin lakes, all passable on Rice Creek. That stretch—from the dam to the takeout spot below Baldwin Lake— is almost 7 miles long. It is characterized by a wider creek bed and gentler flow and is considered good for beginning paddlers. Past travelers of the water trail may remember large numbers of carp in the lakes and creek. Today, they will encounter fewer of them. That is because a recent University of Minnesota carp study has “bloomed into a full-fledged carp management program,” as Matt Kocian, lake and stream specialist for the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), puts it. Formerly allowed free passage, carp had been damaging vegetation, increasing turbidity and worsening algae blooms. Through the use of fish barriers (which pad-

coordinator of Anoka County Parks, has also observed sparing use of the water trail. He administers the canoe and kayak rental program at Wargo Nature Center, located on the north end of George Watch Lake. He estimates a “few hundred” people typically rent watercraft there throughout the typical summer. From George Watch, Murawski says it’s possible to portage up into Peltier Lake or paddle down through the water trail to Baldwin and back, though few typically do. He reports most users stay on George Watch Lake. Due to COVID-19 protocols, the Wargo rental fleet was reduced to six kayaks and four canoes (normally nine and six, respectively) for sanitizing purposes. A reservation system was also put into place, but Murawski expects to return to a “firstcome, first-served” model and full offering of watercraft in 2022. According to the Wargo Nature Center website, canoe and kayak rentals are $20 for 2 hours, or $30 per day. Introduction to kayaking classes are also offered there several times per season. In addition to the lake access provided at Wargo Nature Center, main access points to the Rice Creek Water Trail (with parking) include the dam on Peltier Lake; along Aqua Lane between Marshan and Rice lakes; on East Golden Lake Road; and at County Road I. Interested paddlers can visit the RCWD website, ricecreek.org, to check water levels and see a map of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes and the rest of the water trail.

Mounds View school’s equity committee creating change

BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

District Equity Director Jason Knighton-Johnson and District Equity Committee member Yolanda McGee gave an update on the work of the District Equity Committee during the June 22 Mounds View School Board meeting. During the last few months, the committee has been creating a framework focusing on equity in all of the public schools in the Mounds View School District and within the community, according to Knight-Johnson. “We’re modeling our schoolhouse model behind a medicine wheel of equity healing that the Minneapolis Public Schools put together,” he said. “The whole purpose behind developing this council was to bring the community perspective here into the district.” The school district has an equity promise which states: • Programs and services will be in place at all schools to ensure that race, gender, class and disability will not predict students’ success in Mounds View Public Schools. • Student academic performance will not fall into patterns identifiable by factors such as race, ethnicity, English language proficiency, socioeconomic status and disability. • The school that a student attends will not be the predictor of his/ her school success. McGee, a resident of Shoreview since 2003, joined the equity committee when it began in January. When she got the call from Knight-Johnson, she said he promised that the committee was going to take action and create change. “I was always told if you want to create change, you create it where you live first and it will create a ripple effect,” she said. According to McGee, the committee has crafted a purpose statement, created an equity framework, created a new Mounds View Public Schools equity policy,

has been communicating with the community on diversity and inclusion, has had meetings to address some of the gaps in diversity with the staff in Mounds View Public Schools, and has addressed curriculum and instructional gaps within the classroom. “There’s real action and change that’s happening within Mounds View to really celebrate diversity within the community,” McGee said. “As a person of color within the community, it’s really been phenomenal for me to feel like I have a voice in this community.” McGee shared that the committee still needs to get more people engaged, but that it’s been a positive experience so far. Other school board actions:

Budget approved

The school board adopted the 2021-22 budget as presented by Carole Nielsen, interim executive director of business services. The fiscal year 202122 budget was developed based on the assumptions provided by the school board through several board meetings and work sessions over the past six months. The proposed budgets represent the financial projections for the district for the general fund, nutrition services fund, community services fund, construction fund and debt service funds (see sidebar for the budget summary).

Enrollment update

As of June 16, the enrollment projections for the upcoming 2021-22 school year indicate an anticipated enrollment of 11,486 students, which would represent an increase of 32 students from the initial projections for the 2021-22 school year. The building principals and administrative team will continue to monitor the student projection data until the start of school next fall.

Superintendent Chris Lennox’s performance evaluation for the 2020-21 school year. Weinhagen said nearly 12 months ago, the district was at the end of a challenging school year. Difficulties included closing schools, switching to hybrid and distance- learning, and being unable to provide the Class of 2020 with the opportunity to walk across the stage to receive their high school diplomas. Lennox has overseen “a tremendous amount of work, success and progress,” Weinhagen said. Weinhagen shared that the word “unprecedented” appeared in the report at least 47 times and specific words that were written at

least a dozen of times throughout the report were — “thank you,” “grateful,” “gratitude,” “appreciate” and “fortunate.” “That about sums up how this board and community feels about the partnership and your leadership,” he said. Lennox said he is humbled by the evaluation and that this year was indeed unprecedented — and one he does not wish to repeat. “It was a group effort,” he said. “So, thank you to my team, everybody involved and to every employee in the district; because we’re not here today without each and every one of them out there, and I thank you.”

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com

Part Time/Full Time Outside Media Sales

Was that the month of June that just ended or was it July? June temperatures soared past their monthly normals with 11 days passing the 90º mark at the airport. I totaled 9 days above 90º. For the month we averaged 5º to 7º hotter than normal. If not for the last 10 days of the month rainfall was non-existent. I totaled 1.87 inches which is 2.58 inches drier than normal. My forecast for July calls for our dry weather pattern to continue with temperatures slightly warmer than normal.

Making their mark on state's racing industry BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

Paul and Suzanne Hanifl of North Oaks hope to make their mark on Minnesota's thoroughbred racing industry. The couple, who left the Chicago area a few years ago to be closer to their three children and grandchildren, made a deliberate decision to advance horse racing in Minnesota after relocating their small

breeding operation to St. Michael. A halfdozen thoroughbred mares call Suzanne Stables home, and the Hanifls spare no expense finding the best stallions to service them. "Horses are a big part of our life," Suzanne said. "We want to help the state's racing community by running quality horses at Canterbury (the racetrack in Shakopee)." Last month, the

Hanifls welcomed

their latest baby, a muscular bay colt with a very famous dad: Triple Crown winner Justify. The exuberant youngster was featured in a June 2 piece by a Rochester television station as the state's fi rst Justify son. The reporter pointed out that a colt sired by a Triple Crown winner represents a big step forward in the Minnesota racing industry, which has a $407 million impact on the state's economy, according to a University of Minnesota study. Stud fees to rock star racehorses are in the six figures. But to the Hanifls, the investment is means to an end: to breed "a real good horse, a high-end

graded stakes winner," Paul told the Rochester reporter, while they still can. If their name is familiar, it's because the Hanifls have invested in more than racehorses. They started a nonprofit foundation in 2000 to support communities through programs promoting environmental awareness, conservation, education, the arts and sciences, health and physical fitness. Locally, the foundation helped build White Bear Lake's performing arts center, Hanifl Fields Athletic Park in Hugo and Hanifl Family Wild Woods at the Minnesota Zoo. Globally, the philanthropist couple has erected an outdoor educational/ environmental studies wing at Suzanne's former school in India and they support health clinics for the underinsured in Florida and Illinois. Their new colt's daddy is the most recent winner of the American Triple Crown, which includes the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. Winning all three races reportedly had a $2.94 million payout to Justify's

owners, who retired him to stud shortly after the Belmont. The Kentucky-bred stallion was purchased as a yearling for $500,000 by a partnership group. Pedigrees are everything to horse breeders, and Justify's famous lineage is a “who's who” in the racing world. He is only the second horse to win the Triple Crown with an undefeated record, following Seattle Slew, from whom he is descended. Other ancestors include five Triple Crown winners, including the greatest racehorse of all time, Secretariat. The new Justify son is not the fi rst time the Hanifls have bred to a Triple Crown winner. In 2018, the same mare, a six-figure track winner herself, gave birth to a large colt by American Pharoah, the fi rst of his offspring to be born in Minnesota. The great-great-great grandson of Secretariat won the Triple Crown in 2015 after a 37-year lull. American Pharoah also won the Breeders' Cup Classic to become the fi rst and only horse to win the grand slam of thoroughbred racing. Named Sota King, the 3-year-old colt is debuting at Canterbury this summer.
