Private school enrollment soars during pandemic
Recreation destination: Turtle Lake might just have it all

shape for a metro lake. We’ve been stocking fingerlings or yearlings since 2014 and our gill net catches have not been below 3 per net since switching from fry to fingerlings/yearlings.” Though a decent walleye fishery may be more of an exception than a rule, the bigger story may be largemouth bass management in Turtle Lake. An experimental regulation established Turtle in 1997 as a catch-and-release lake for largemouths, which was designed to increase the number and size of bass in the lake. After a couple decades, fisheries management took a critical look at the results of that rule. DeBates says bass are numerous, but the average size did not improve. In 2020, an experimental regulation was implemented to allow for the harvest
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, schools in Minnesota and around the country found themselves in an unprecedented situation — what to do? The distance learning model seemed like the best way to keep students, teachers and staff safe; schools were shut down for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year. While public schools decided to maintain the distance learning model at the beginning of the 202021 school year, most private schools opted to get their students back into the classroom. One of the fi rst to open in Minnesota was Hill-Murray School in Maplewood, a private Catholic School for grades 6-12. “Our leadership team worked tirelessly all last summer with a lot of planning, hard work and trust. We had the kids back in school on August 18,” said Melissa Dan, president of Hill-Murray. “The teachers were nervous to come back, but they took a risk and believed in us. We only stayed open all year because of their willingness to put the kids fi rst.” Dan has a son who attends HillMurray. When they went to in-

Though popular with boaters, Turtle Lake offers moments of quiet for visitors who are willing to adjust their schedules. BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Not all metro-area lakes can offer summer pleasure seekers a one-stop shop. But Shoreview’s Turtle Lake — popular with swimmers, anglers and boaters of all kinds — might fit the bill. Turtle Lake is a known hotspot for recreational boat traffic, including water skiers, wakeboarders, and users of personal watercraft. Trailer parking spots at the public access are frequently full in the summer. Those who live on the lake or fish it often know to avoid the crowds by going out early or on cool days. Eric Kalmes has lived on the east side for over five years, and appreciates what Turtle has to offer. He confirms an abundance of boat usage, and notes a
recent increase in traffic. “That’s gone up with the pandemic, for sure,” noting Jet Skis in particular. “The last year or two, it’s been really busy.” He doesn’t seem to mind it much, and reports that people are generally responsible and respectful on the water. Kalmes is also a fisherman and likes to fish on Turtle. He says it’s good: “You can usually go out and catch a few bass. And there are crappies, and maybe walleyes if you’re lucky.” Walleye is listed as the primary management species in Turtle Lake, and they are stocked annually. In the 2019 survey, walleyes were sampled in strong numbers, indicating walleye management is working on this heavily pressured lake. East Metro Fisheries Supervisor T.J. DeBates said, “The walleye population is in very good
Downey retires; stellar tenure with MVHS baseball Mark Downey, who coached a state champion and four other state entrants in Mounds View baseball and is regarded as a solid influence on athletes, has stepped down after 12 seasons. “With children and grandchildren living out of state, I want to spend significant time with them,” Downey said, in
a written statement to parents and friends of Mustang baseball. “Late this fall, I will move to Texas, with plans to spend summers at my cabin in Minnesota.” Downey said he will continue to work with the Sandlot program, the VFW team and the Diamond Club. He will also continue to serve on the board of directors of the state baseball coaches association.
“I was welcomed and supported by everyone in the baseball community when I got here, and now I feel like I’m part of it forever,” said Downey. His record at Mounds View was 170-103 with five state tournament teams, the state championship in 2014, two consolation titles (for fi fth place), and one conference crown. He coached the Mustangs from 2007-10 and 2014-21.
Jim Galvin, activities director, had high praise for Downey as a coach and mentor. “We are very thankful to have had Mark at Mounds View High School and want to celebrate such a wonderful career,” said Galvin. “He has been the most influential leader and best mentor of young people I have been around in my 30 years at MVHS.”

Summer freedom
O
VER THE LONG Fourth of July holiday, people were getting out of town with a vengeance, traveling to their cabin, their favorite camping park, or visiting with friends and families. The long winter with COVID and the high vaccination rate in Minnesota and Wisconsin gave people a sense of freedom and they took advantage of it. FOR A GREAT fireworks show, you take 20 minutes and fire off multiple cannons continuously. The sky lights up beautifully and the crowds ooh and aah and leave with a good feeling. The cost of fireworks for a display like that is $25,000. With the Fourth on a About the about Sunday night this year and beautiful weather, area lakes as usual had Town crowds on the shore and on the Gene Johnson water. Good job, volunteers. LIVING IN YOUR 80s has an advantage when it comes to enjoying great-grandchildren. Kathy and I were invited to join four great-grandchildren at Inver Woods Golf Course in Inver Grove Heights for the Minnesota PGA Junior ‘Sota Series. Olivia Foster, age 8, from Indio, California shot an 80. Mara Schneider, age 9, from Chanhassen shot a 60 and took third place in her class. Conner Schneider, age 11, from Chanhassen shot a 43. Patrick Foster, age 9, from Indio, California shot a 79. Our eldest daughter, Julie Johnson, and her husband, Craig, are the grandparents and avid golfers. The ‘Sota Series is comprised of four unique tours based on age and skill level. Each year they offer 180 individual events allowing children to play in as few or as many events as they would like. IT’S ENCOURAGING TO have the Centers for Disease Control come out with their guidelines for COVID early enough for the schools this fall. It will be good to have children back in the classroom so parents can plan their work schedules accordingly. That may provide necessary employment with so many stores, offices and restaurants having a difficult time hiring staff. VACCINATIONS WILL HAVE to continue and some surveys indicate that people are looking for lottery tickets to encourage them to get vaccinated even more than gift card incentives. MINNEAPOLIS CONTINUES TO be crime ridden with shootings, violence and damage to property. It’s been recommended they get more police on duty, but it’s not easy to find qualified people and get them trained. The police shortage in Minneapolis is long overdue. Not all police departments carry individual body cameras. Is that a good idea to be considered for small towns throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin? I have a question as to whether it’s necessary to chase vehicles in a city without regard to speed. Innocent people are getting killed. I thought a long time ago those kinds of chases by police were curtailed. HEART ATTACKS AND other cardiovascular diseases are America’s number one killer. The American Heart Association provided stroke warning signs and heart attack warning signs. Review them, post them and keep them in mind. STROKE WARNING SIGNS Face drooping. Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Arm weakness. Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech difficulty. Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “the sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? Time to call 9-1-1. If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Take a road trip with the library
T
he car is packed, the kids are strapped in, and your pet has settled in for a nap. You’re ready. Now all you must do is drive eight hours cross country with your family without getting on one another’s nerves. Easier said than done? If you’re planning a road trip, then audiobooks are a good way of passing the time as you navigate through traffic, rest stops and long stretches of corn fields. Here are a few family-friendly that Movers & suggestions will help you get to your destinaShakers tion with your sanity intact, all Matt available from Youngbauer Anoka County Library. 2017 Newbery award winner “The Girl Who Drank the Moon” by Kelly Barnhill is a wonderful fantasy for both young and old. Xan the witch is perceived by village Elders as an evil being, when in truth she is kind and compassionate. When she accidently exposes a baby to powerful magic, she
binds her life and the child’s together in this powerful fairytale brought to life. If you prefer your stories fast and funny, then try Pete Hauptman’s “Slider.” Meet David, who is preparing for the “Super -Pigorino Bowl Pizza Eating Contest,” which he must win. Why? Because he accidently put $2,000 on his mom’s credit card. Oops! Hauptman’s book is funny but also tender, filled with the ins and outs of growing up that we all go through. Kate DiCamillo has titles in many genres. Fantasy fans should check out “The Magician’s Elephant” or “The Tale of Despereaux.” “Because of Winn-Dixie” or “Raymie Nightingale” are good choices for families interested in realism. Her works also include audiobooks for younger readers; look for the “Tales from Deckawoo Drive” series. For a true story, Daniel J. Brown’s “The Boys in the Boat” is a good choice. Brown chronicles the University of Washington men’s rowing team’s attempt to win the gold medal at the 1936 Olympics. Not only did the team face off against the elite East Coast and
British teams, but also the team rowing for Adolf Hitler. History and heroics come together in this true-life story that’s told like a novel. As a bonus, there is an adult version and a middlegrade version, so you can choose the one appropriate to your family. Audiobooks are available at the library on CD and through Libby, our new eBook app. Download Libby for free from the app store and check out eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines from the shared metro-wide MELSA: Twin Cities Metro eLibrary collection. Listen together with Libby’s Bluetooth option or each family member can enjoy some time in the world of their book with their own device and some headphones. Traveling can be stressful, but if you include the library on your list of essentials to pack, the journey can be just as fun as the destination.

OBITUARY NOTICES
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you for the random act of kindness Dear friends, my son Pat and I want to thank the couple who paid for the delicious hamburgers at the Red Robin in Shoreview. I was wearing my veteran’s cap. Sure nice people. The Fourth was even greater! William Foley St. Paul
Prioritize the fight against climate change This year’s legislative session at the Minnesota state Capitol had a number of positive developments in the fight against climate change, including the Energy Conservation and Optimization (ECO) Act, Natural Gas Innovation Act, and other investments in the transition to electricity produced by renewable sources. I would especially like to thank Rep. Kelly Moller for her work on the ECO Act and Sen. Jason Isaacson for his push towards carbon sequestration in our state forests. While laws like the ECO Act are moving us in the right direction, their impacts alone won’t be big enough to prevent further climate change. To meet our state goal of having a carbon-neutral electrical grid by 2040, we need to make major investments in solar and wind power and wean ourselves off coal and fossil gas. In the coming months of hearings and education, I urge our elected officials to prioritize work that will reduce carbon emissions so they can hit the ground running in the 2022 legislative session. Kelsey Murphy Shoreview
Use tax money to fix roads If the fast bus proposal flies, the wonderful Gateway bike and walking trail will get its share of bus exhaust pollution with all the empty buses zipping by.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents in Shoreview: • Shore 96 American Restaurant in the 1000 block of Highway 96 reported a burglary overnight June 26-27 after the front door glass was found broken. Entry was made by two persons, who stole the pull-tab safe from a back room.

A Roseville woman, 54, faces up to three years in prison and/or a maximum fine of $5,000 for felony theft of mail. The charge includes knowing the mail in her possession, even for transfer, buying or selling, was obtained illegally. On June 27, deputies were dispatched to investigate a report from two different complainants about a woman looking into mailboxes. Ramsey County Sheriff's Office (RCSO) deputies tracked down a woman matching witness descriptions near Rice Street and Colleen Avenue. She was uncooperative with deputies, so they physcially detained her. Addresses on the mail found on the subject's person were from approximately one mile away from the spot where she was stopped. Both addressees, men from North Oaks and Shoreview, had no idea their mail had been stolen. The defendant said she didn't want to speak to an investigator because she “didn't know him from Adam.” When the interviewer explained he was an investigator with the RCSO, she said she wanted to speak with a "white person from the United States.” The interview was terminated when the subject’s comments made no sense.

Northeast Metro area is friendly to the angler on foot BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, it may be tempting to think that a boat is requisite equipment for the successful angler. Those who are willing to hoof it in the northeast metro, however, have no shortage of opportunities to catch fish from piers and shorelines. Most Ramsey County parks have fishing piers, as do many in Washington County. They often occur in the high-traffic areas, such as near the picnic area in Tony Schmidt Regional Park and near the boat launch in Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park. Piers are usually long and/or spacious out at the end, allowing for many anglers to fish at once. Commonly caught fish include bluegills, crappies, bullheads, catfish and bass. But county parks departments aren’t the only entities trying to encourage people to fish locally. Tim Ohmann, fisheries specialist with the Minnesota DNR’s Fishing in the Neighborhood (FiN) program, makes it his job to help people fish as close as possible to where they live. He describes FiN as “an urban fishing program,” designed to bring fishing opportunities near residential areas and increase access and participation. Providing piers is a big part of that, along with some fish stocking. These efforts concentrate heavily on small bodies of water like the 8-acre Handlos Pond in White Bear Lake and 10-acre Lost Lake in Mahtomedi. Ohmann indicates that when it comes to fishing piers, there probably isn’t room for many more. “Most lakes where there could be a pier, we’ve gone one.” Still, he is always looking. “I was just out at Linwood Lake today, and I thought, ‘this lake could use a pier.’” The DNR also cooperates with cities and civic
organizations to establish, maintain and replace fishing piers. One example is the White Bear Lake fishing pier, a joint project between the city and the DNR. Such ventures make more piers possible, explains Ohmann, because the DNR does not have the resources to establish and maintain the total infrastructure involved, which includes accessible trails. But a pier isn’t the only way to access fishable waters. Many anglers already know that shore fishing can get them close to the action, and even make it possible to access fish that others can’t. One outstanding place is on the trail that winds between Vadnais and East Vadnais lakes in Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park. There are no piers on either lake, and surface use is prohibited (no watercraft). A virtually untouched fish population awaits those on foot or bicycle. Another popular spot is nearby along the creek between Highway 96 and the northwest corner of Sucker Lake in Vadnais Heights. A perennial shore fishing favorite, this location was recently re-landscaped to protect the banks and provide designated places to catch the panfish that travel into the creek from Sucker Lake. One lightly used shore fishing spot sits within a stone’s throw of Interstate 694 at Island Lake County Park. Hundreds of feet of shoreline offer easily accessed places to cast for bass, panfish, northern pike and catfish. As it winds through portions of Ramsey and Anoka counties, Rice Creek also creates opportunities for the shore angler — especially in the high-water periods in spring. A position just below the culverts at road crossings can be productive for sunfish, crappies, bullheads, bass and pike. For aspiring anglers lacking equipment as well as fishing spots, some area parks can help fi ll the void. FiN has partnered with Washington County Parks

to provide “borrow poles” and tackle for visitors to check out in Big Marine Park Reserve and Square Lake Regional Park. A similar arrangement can be made at William O’Brien State Park. Visitors can obtain equipment to take to the pier on Alice Lake or the banks of the St. Croix River. Alice has received stocked bluegills in the past to maintain the population. It is also occasionally inundated by the St. Croix, which introduces species not typically encountered in other lakes, such as sucker species, redhorse and shad.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS: Number of parents choosing nonpublic options for their children FROM PAGE 1
person learning in August, she said she noticed a big change in him. “The changes I saw in him from March until being able to be in school everyday was just incredible,” she said. “The students never looked so happy when they came back in August. Even if they had to wear masks and follow COVID guidelines, they were so happy to be with their friends again.” Enrollment has been increasing at Hill-Murray for the last six years, and Dan said last year the interest in the school increased more than ever. She believes that parents might not have considered Hill-Murray as an educational option before the pandemic. “With the public school districts not opening last fall, we had an incredible rush of people trying to get into the school in August and September. Unfortunately, some of the grades were already filled, so we weren’t able to take all of the students who wanted to come,” she said. Why the increase in enrollment among private schools? According to the Minnesota Department of Education, because of the COVID-19 pandemic families across the state made choices that they believed were best for their students, including delaying starting kindergarten for younger learners. Some considered nonpublic options. There was an
increase in the number of parents who chose a private school for their children; also, a 12.4% increase in kindergarten enrollment occurred between the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years. Principal Vicki Marvin at St. Odilia School — a private Catholic school in Shoreview for students in preschool to eighth grade — said the school definitely saw an increase in enrollment. “We typically have a handful of families that contact us for enrollment, but last summer we had over a hundred new families in choir,” Marvin said. “We welcomed 60 new transfer students over the summer for the 2020-21 school year and 100% of them are re-enrolled for this upcoming school year, and that’s exciting.” Marvin also said she believes parents realize that they have other educational options besides public school for their children. “I think that for some families who were maybe on the fence on whether or not they should choose a private school, this was enough for them to say, ‘We really want our kids back in person at school, and we’re going to give this a try,’” Marvin said. “I think they found they were very satisfied with the experience and they’re not looking for something different for next year. I also think it has to do with the pandemic, because parents really wanted their kids back in school for a combination of

reasons.” Those reasons, Marvin said, include that St. Odilia School personnel look at the child as a complete person — encompassing their academics, faith life, character development, relationships and connections. “Our students are getting a strong academic program here that is preparing them for the next steps they take (for high school),” she said. “When their children came home from school, I think parents could not only see the difference in their children, they could feel the difference.” No matter how you look at it, public and private schools have dealt with tremendous changes throughout the pandemic. Dan said she’s been involved in both public and private school education for 20 years, and she will remember this last year for the rest of
her life. “I’m proud of what a lot of the private and Catholic schools have done by putting the kids first. Kids can’t sit home for a year — they need to be with their teachers and learning. We were in person all year, and we had no more COVID cases than schools who were in distance learning,” Dan said. “The power of good teachers, relationships and being in person with one another is something that’s really important and appreciated.” Both St. Odilia and Hill-Murray have waiting lists for the 2021-22 school year, but there are limited openings available for certain grades.

Looking ahead to Olympics, Condie is pictured in Sports Illustrated An action photo of Kyra Condie appears in Sports Illustrated’s July 19 issue, on pages 44 and 45, as part of the magazine’s Olympic Games preview. The 25-year-old Shoreview native is shown climbing a colorful wall on SI’s segment of a new Olympic event, Sport Climbing. The magazine’s brief segment — naming the four members of the USA team and explaining the details of the sport — started with an anecdote about Condie in 2013 posting on Instagram her wish that climbing be added to the Olympics. In the run-up to the Olympics, Condie has also gotten honors from Forbes and Time magazines, in part
for her inspiring story of overcoming a serious back issue during junior high. All that’s on Condie’s mind right now is finally getting a chance to compete in the Olympics after the 2020 Games were delayed a year by the pandemic. “Everything is going great! We leave on the 21st for Tokyo and I’m feeling really good,” Condie told the Shoreview Press in an e-mail from Salt Lake City, where she is based. “Our team is stronger than ever this year and has been performing better than ever before on the World Cup circuit.” The Olympics will be held July 23 through Aug. 8. The climbers will compete on Aug. 4 and 6, in three disciplines: lead climbing, speed climbing and bouldering, which has been the 5-foot-4, 120-pound
Condie’s best event. The 2014 graduate of MVHS and 2018 graduate of the University of Minnesota (Animal Science) earned her spot on Team USA by advancing to the fi nals of the IFSC Combined Qualifier Toulouse in France in late December 2019. That year, in world championships, she placed 14th in bouldering, 25th in combined, 32nd in speed, and 40th in lead. The sport was idled most of 2020. Condie was named to Forbes magazine’s annual 30 Under 30 list of inspirational athletes, been featured on NBC and seen in the pages of Rolling Stone and Vogue. At age 11, diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, she was discouraged from continuing in the sport. The condition required back surgery at 13 in which she had 10 vertebrae

Named to the all-section team were Binder, Patel, Norlinger and Valois. Binder led the Mustangs with 29 goals. Valois had 16, Haley Montgomery 14, and Westerman and Norlinger 10 each. The team got a gold certification for academic all-state, as they also did in 2019.
Downey was always supremely prepared, handled tedious tasks himself rather than delegating them, and was typically the fi rst guy there and last to leave for every task, Galvin said. “He was a visionary who set the bar high, inspired his players to reach that bar and made them believe they could.” Downey was also an excellent communicator in providing extensive reports to the media and other interested persons after each game, via emails. His college sport at Wisconsin-Eau Claire was swimming, not baseball. “I loved baseball as a young kid, just like many kids. I got into swimming and also loved that,” said the Edina native. “When my son started playing baseball, I coached his teams. That rekindled my love of baseball and of coaching, and I decided to pursue

He returned to that position in the three years between his stints with MVHS. In his farewell letter, Downey praised Shoreview Area Youth Baseball and the Tri-City Red Legion program as exceptional groups to work with. He added that club team baseball has “exploded” in recent years, providing more opportunities for players, and he appreciated developing relationships with them as well. Downey also expressed his gratitude to the various Mustang assistants and youth coaches in the community for helping to create “a purpose-driven and meaningful baseball experience for the players.”

Captiol recap: Area legislators reflect on special session With the special session in the rearview mirror, Press Publications reached out to area legislators to find out how it went. Each senator and representative was asked the question, “What do you think were the top successes of the recent legislative session?” Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R) District 38 Back in December, I said my agenda for the year was focused on improving the way we deliver education. By that measure, this year was a success -- but we still have room to improve. • Education: We approved the largest per-student funding increase in 15 years and invested new resources into student literacy and mental health, and added virtually no new mandates. This is exactly what schools had asked for all year -- money, not mandates. While we were forced to give up the most important, transformational reform on the table -- school choice -- we should not overlook how good this session was for schools. They have the resources they need to deliver on their promise to students. • Emergency Powers: We finally succeeded in ending the governor’s emergency powers. At the outset of Covid-19, we gave Gov. Walz wide latitude to use emergency powers to make quick decisions to respond to the unfolding pandemic. But the governor abused those powers long after they were necessary. We convinced him to reopen schools and managed the pandemic effectively. Getting Minnesotans out from the cloud of emergency powers was an important achievement. • Relief for Main Street businesses and workers: We approved substantial tax relief for small, Main Street businesses and workers who were hammered by Covid-19 business closures. Many were facing big tax bills, but we successfully passed relief that will allow them to keep more money in their pocket and stimulate our economy. • Reduced health care costs: I am sure most of you remember the catastrophic rollout of MNsure and the double digit annual premium increases that accompanied it. The program that
stabilized the market was something called reinsurance. This year we extended that program for another year, so Minnesotans won’t have to deal with soaring health care costs again. We also invested additional resources into mental and behavioral health, and made improvements to our leading telehealth program to improve accessibility for routine health care procedures.
businesses this will provide the type of relief that will directly impact their bottom line and help ease the burden that was the COVID-19 emergency. Legislation is about compromise. There are parts of the bills that I did not agree with, and others that I fully supported. That is the nature of good governance. As always, feel free to contact me with your concerns. Rep.donald.raleigh@house. mn and 651-775-1687. God Bless!
Rep. Donald Raleigh (R) District 38A The 2021 session was unique in so many ways. Meetings that would normally be conducted in person were instead offered via zoom. This led to a series of challenges that confined the ability for the free flow of ideas and conversation. Despite these challenges there were many successes that came out of the 2021 regular and special sessions. The first success, and perhaps the most important, was the passing of the budget bills that kept the state of Minnesota from being shut down. The brinkmanship that was displayed was on par with the most contentious that I have ever seen and a situation that should not be repeated in the future. Another major success was one of the largest increases in K-12 education funding in many years. Along with this increase in funding was a $70,122,000 cross-subsidy reduction in Special Education. This means there will be more money kept in the special education account and not “borrowed” to pay for other priorities. Special Education is something I am asked about repeatedly from constituents and I am proud to share that it was included in the bill that I voted for. Personally, a top success in this session was an amendment I offered in the Public Safety bill. My amendment creates a misdemeanor crime to disseminate a law enforcement official or family member’s personal information if doing so poses an imminent and serious threat to the officer or family’s safety. I pledged to our community that I would back our police and this new law does just that. For our business community we passed a 100% exclusion on forgiven PPP loans and a $10,200 subtraction of unemployment benefits for tax year 2020. For our
Ami Wazlawik (DFL) District 38B I’m proud of the bipartisan state budget we passed this session and of the months of work we did with Minnesotans to ensure it was as strong and equitable as possible. The investments we delivered will help Minnesotans recover from the challenges many of us faced over the past year and thrive as we move forward. One of our top successes was delivering the largest investment in public schools in 15 years. We voted to increase perpupil funding by 2.45 percent next year and another 2 percent the following year. This funding will help schools retain teachers, keep class sizes from growing, and provide academic and emotional support to students who experienced learning disruptions and other challenges during the pandemic. We also secured significant investments in child care. The new budget we developed will expand access to affordable child care in our community and communities across the state. It includes bills I authored to create more child care options for children with disabilities, support child care providers, and offer incentives to keep early childhood professionals in the field. Helping Minnesotans emerge from the pandemic was a priority this session. We secured tax cuts for workers and small businesses impacted by COVID-19, including those who received unemployment insurance benefits and federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. We also delivered financial support for Minnesota’s frontline workers, who risked their own health to keep the rest of us safe and healthy. We took several steps to improve our health care system and expand
access to affordable care. One notable accomplishment was providing a pay raise for personal care attendants (PCAs) and additional support for home- and community-based services to help Minnesotans live independently. Supporting survivors of sexual assault has been a priority of mine for many years, and I’m pleased to report we made meaningful progress in this area. For example, we closed the voluntary intoxication loophole that prevented survivors from getting justice if they consumed alcohol or drugs prior to an assault. This important step and other legal changes we made will help Minnesotans get justice and the support they need to heal. Sen. Jason Isaacson (DFL) District 42 This legislative session, we faced a significant amount of gridlock from across the aisle. It was truly disheartening to see how legislation fell so short of serving Minnesotans in a truly meaningful way. However, although there is much more that could have been done in terms of meeting the needs of Minnesotans, there are a select number of DFL- led wins that made it into the final budget agreement that are worth highlighting and celebrating. This session, I introduced SF 1385 to help strengthen our forests and combat climate change. This bill aims to plant more trees in Minnesota’s forests in an effort to prepare for the looming infestation of Emerald Ash Borers (an invasive species of beetles known to have devastating impacts on our native trees). This bill also tasks the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with the responsibility of establishing and enacting goals of carbon sequestration (a method of decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) in Minnesota’s forests. I am proud of this initiative and what it will do to improve forest health in Minnesota and in carbon sequestration strategies. Additionally, when the E-12 omnibus bill passed, Senate Republicans gloated about how their bill supported teachers of color, improved equity in our education system, and supported parents and students.

of bass under 14 inches. “The potential harvest of bass less than 14 inches could increase average size,” DeBates noted. Lake surveys every five years will show whether sizes improve under this new rule, which will be in place until 2035. Just like the bass of Turtle Lake, crappies there may also get special rules. “Crappie populations are naturally cyclic but this could be due to increased harvest and pressure in the metro. We are considering Turtle Lake for sunfish and crappie special regulations in the future. We just changed the bass regulation in 2020 and wanted to let the dust settle,” said DeBates.
The park sits in the southeast corner of the lake, off Hodgson Road. It is well shaded by mature hardwood trees and has a playground and picnic shelter. The public boat access is also located there; it has 18 trailer parking spaces and 5 dedicated car top boat carrier spaces. Amenities include a dock, nearby restrooms and a new boat cleaning station. Kalmes hopes visiting boaters make use of the cleaning station and other aquatic invasive specifies (AIS) mitigating procedures. He notes that many nearby lakes have Zebra mussel infestations, and that Turtle does not. “We don’t have Zebra mussels, yet.”

In addition to good metro fishing, another draw may be the good water quality present in Turtle Lake. According to data available from the Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota LakeBrowser website, the lake’s natural water clarity is higher than that of most other lakes in the area. Clarity has trended upward since 2010, from less than 2 meters (1.91) to more than 3 meters (3.37) in 2020. Swimmers flock regularly to the beach in Turtle Lake County Park. The marked swimming area is not allocated a lifeguard, but is spacious, gently sloping and treated to keep weeds out. There is also a restroom/changing building with outdoor showers available.

CAPITOL RECAP: Area legislators share top successes of special session FROM PAGE 9
I worked tirelessly to make changes to the GOP language that would have otherwise only amplified disparities. For example, we fought tooth and nail to remove language involving the use of vouchers that would have removed $250 million from public schools to be given to private schools that charge tuition. Vouchers also have deeply rooted racist origins as they were first created to fund non-public schools that wanted to evade desegregation laws. Even today, huge racial and class disparities exist in public schools versus schools funded by vouchers. In addition to these wins, the DFL also saw improvements such as tax relief and funding-investments for working families, clean energy initiatives such as solar projects for schools and university students and loans for state-owned buildings for energy efficiency upgrades, and a continued fight to combat GOP-led voter suppression laws. Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL) District 43 The state’s $52 billion balanced budget helps Minnesotans recover from the pandemic and strengthens our state going forward. The budget includes a 15-year record increase for education, $250 million for payments to frontline essential workers, several million dollars for small businesses recovering from the pandemic, nearly $600 million to support child care needs, about one billion in tax cuts and more. My top priority—education—did very well, and should: students are our future. Accordingly, the largest part of the budget (about $21 billion) invests in students, staff and programs. Among the provisions: • Funding formula increase-2.45 % next year, 2% in 2023 • Teachers of Color, American Indian teacher recruiting, training and retention, $35 million • Voluntary pre-k funding, $46.5 million • Special education and English language learner aid, additional literacy program training, digital/screen time well being and safety, math corps, civics education, suicide prevention training • Safety notice to parents, students and staff if environmental hazard occurs, which I authored, working with the White Bear Area Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group. Century College, plus other schools in MN State and the U of M, received additional funds as they navigate recovery. We also approved: • Over $16 billion to support families and individuals addressing childcare, home and community based services, disability aid, mental health care and substance abuse treatment
• Full funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and National Guard to continue their important mission. I serve on the Senate committee overseeing these recommendations. • Increased funding for affordable housing, rental assistance for tenants and landlords, including pandemic relief, and a catalytic converter theft prevention pilot program. Several strong policy provisions include fixing the definition of mentally incapacitated as it applies to sexual assault cases, eliminating the statute of limitations for certain sexual crimes, and several reforms around policing. Planning ahead, we meet in mid-September to address recommendations for payments to frontline workers. We may also consider infrastructure requests if an agreement is reached. I’m pleased we finalized approval for Willernie’s new maintenance building. I continue advocating for Birchwood’s crucial need for a wastewater lift station. Please contact me anytime for more info, share ideas, meet, whatever; my cell (651) 770-0283. Thanks for the honor of representing our great area. Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn (DFL) District 42B We came into this session with the only divided legislature in the nation, an ongoing pandemic, and an uncertain economic outlook. We ended the session with a strong two-year bipartisan budget, over 70% of Minnesota adults with at least one dose of a vaccine, and an economy that is ready to recover. While there are important bills that were left on the table, this session was an overall win for Minnesota. I had the honor of chairing the Judiciary Finance and Civil Law committee. We got to work immediately hearing and passing bills designed to modernize and reform our judicial system so it serves everyone justly and fairly. We updated Minnesota’s sexual assault laws to give victims of intimate partner violence better outcomes after hearing suggestions from a survivor-led working group. We created the new office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives aimed at preventing the shocking and disproportionately high rate of missing and murdered Indigenous people. We also took action to decriminalize poverty by reforming Minnesota’s civil forfeiture law, updated the state DWI law by expanding the use of ignition interlock to keep people safe on the road, and recognize the right to fair representation by increasing funding for public defenders and court interpreters. As your Representative, I made sure to shepherd legislation that benefits our entire community. I worked to ensure that “No Child Left Inside” was funded at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. This amazing program works to get children from every background into our great
outdoors so they can learn and experience it firsthand. On a similar note, I led the effort to fully fund our Outdoor Heritage Fund proposals in the Legacy budget bill, and we were also able to finally pass two years worth of LCCMR proposals. These projects benefit all Minnesotans by protecting our natural resources and investing in our great outdoors for future generations. Our community has been through a lot over the last year and a half, and while this session wasn’t perfect, I’m proud of what was accomplished. I believe that Minnesota is on the path towards recovery, and I am committed to making sure everyone in our community will have the opportunity to thrive moving forward. Peter Fischer (DFL) District 43A Legislators came together to make meaningful progress this session. We developed and passed a new state budget with some historic investments to help Minnesotans recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and thrive for years to come. Increasing funding for schools was one of our most significant accomplishments. Under the new state budget, per-pupil funding will increase by 2.45 percent next year and another 2 percent the year after that. Additional funding will provide pre-K opportunities to thousands of children and help schools maintain special education services and programs for English language learners. These investments in public education – the largest our state has made in 15 years – will help all students get the world-class education they deserve. Another highlight was delivering financial support for workers and small businesses impacted by COVID-19. Thanks to the tax cuts we approved, refunds will be issued to approximately 560,000 Minnesotans who received unemployment insurance benefits or federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. As chair of the House Behavioral Health Policy Division, I led bipartisan efforts to support Minnesotans struggling with mental health issues, addiction, and substance abuse disorder. Due to the growing demand for behavioral health services, many people find it difficult to get the care they need. We took steps to address this problem, reduce disparities, and improve treatment outcomes. Supporting individuals and families who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness was one of our priorities this session. We provided new aid for county-level efforts to prevent family homelessness and increased funding for emergency shelters and services. We also took steps to expand the supply of affordable housing and delivered rental assistance for tenants and landlords impacted by COVID-19. While there is more work to be done
in these areas and others, I am proud of what we accomplished this session. I hope to continue working with community members and make more progress at the Capitol next year. Kelly Moller (DFL) District 42A The Legislature worked in a bipartisan fashion to deliver a state budget helping Minnesotans emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic with opportunities to succeed and thrive. We delivered historic new funding in Minnesota classrooms, recognizing the enormous challenges students faced over the past year, not to mention the unique challenges for educators and parents. Our education budget also invested in special education, voluntary pre-K, and efforts to recruit teachers of color and American Indian teachers. I’m extremely proud our final budget agreement included my legislation to protect survivors of sexual assault. In 2019, lawmakers charged a working group – consisting of survivors, attorneys, advocates, and law enforcement – with recommending changes to our current laws. Our Public Safety budget incorporated the overdue reforms from the working group to give prosecutors the tools they need to ensure survivors are able to receive the justice they deserve. Our bipartisan Health and Human Services budget included bold investments to improve local public health, reduce health disparities and expand access to affordable health care. The budget also improves the quality of life for people with disabilities, delivering overdue wage increases for Personal Care Attendants to help recruit and retain dedicated workers in these critical roles. I’m also excited the budget included two provisions I chief authored. The fi rst invests in customized living quality improvement grants to help home and community-based service providers innovate and provide more efficient, higher quality services. The other bill – developed in partnership with people with disabilities and advocates – creates a person-centered approach to providing services to people with disabilities. It was also vitally important to help workers, families, and small businesses recover COVID-19’s economic impacts. We put together a $70 million package of investments targeted to the smallest of the small businesses, plus technical assistance to new businesses, support for tech startups, and loans for entrepreneurs. We also addressed the growing lack of affordable child care with a historic investment to increase the number of child care providers across the state.

What if I told you the first three weeks of July have been....cooler than normal? Would you believe me? Well, they have been. Except for a few days earlier this month, temperatures have been running colder than normal and most recently near normal. Of course that has changed this week as temperatures have gotten back into the 90's. The northern/northeast metro area has been one of the few areas of the metro where rainfall had picked up vs. the southern metro which has been drier this month. The jet stream, highway for storms, is poised to shift to our north, leaving us hot and dry this forecast period. The smoke from the Canadian fires (which have been around for about a week now) should be less noticeable if this pattern should take hold. White Bear Lake lake level update: July 1, 2020 925.21 feet. July 19, 2021 924.07 feet. Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake.

Tough Mudder returns to Hugo after its cancelation in 2020 BY CADEN CHRISTIANSEN PRESS INTERN
Competitors of all shapes, sizes and outfits took to the fields of Hugo to participate in the Tough Mudder last weekend after the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year. During the event’s fi fth year in Hugo, the event drew over 7,000 participants with 5,500 participating in the Saturday heats and 1,500 competing in the Sunday heats. The course provides two options for participants with a classic 10-mile course featuring 25 unique obstacles for runners to navigate through and a condensed 5K loop with just over 3 miles of course and 13 obstacles. This year, the Tough Mudder also featured a new kids course for ages 5 to 12 with its Mighty Mudder for ages 8 to 12 and its Mini Mudder for ages 5 to 7. This was the Tough Mudder’s fi fth event in its fi fth different state since the COVID-19 pandemic and staff and runners alike were excited for its return. “It’s been nice to be back at live events for sure,” said Tough Mudder event producer A.J. Monette. “Hugo is a good partner to work with, they are always supportive of what we are doing here so it’s good to work with them.” Tough Mudder participant Russ Russell said, “It was good to do this after having a year off with COVID. It was good to get back and have things feel normal again.” The event was run by 30 staff members and the rest of the work was fi lled by volunteers. The Tough Mudder gives volunteers an incentive by providing a 60% discount on sign up fees for those who volunteer a half day at the event and a full discount for those who volunteer a full day. Runners took full advantage of this
opportunity providing much needed help for the event to run smoothly, and a chance to challenge themselves on the course. “COVID made me want to do something to get back in shape,” said event volunteer Steve White, who drove from Omaha, Nebraska with his wife for the event. “I just love doing the races and I haven’t gotten muddy since I was a kid, so it’s an opportunity to get back and have some fun getting muddy.” After two years passed since the last Tough Mudder was held in Minnesota, its return brought out the creativity and uniqueness within competitors. From homemade T-shirts to full costumes, competitors embraced their fashion choices at this year’s event. Two competitors dressed as Batman and Robin from the famous D.C. comic inspired fi lm series and drew lots of attention on the course and in the Mudder Village. “We like costumes, so when an opportunity presents itself we do it,” said Russell. “If you can wear a costume, why not wear a costume,” said Tough Mudder contestant and Russell’s friend Shana Lovdahl. As contestants and spectators brought the energy and excitement to the city of Hugo, the Tough Mudder staff were focused on providing a successful and safe return for all participants in the race. “We are just making sure that all of our participants are having a good time and that all of our partners are having a good time as well,” said Monette. “At the end of the day it’s all about getting everyone through the course successfully and safely and making sure they stick around in the village afterward and enjoy the beer, the food and the atmosphere.”
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
Participants in the Tough Mudder competition make their way through a series of mud-filled trenches. Hundreds of athletes from around the state and region ran along obstacle filled routes through the rolling hills at Wild Wings of Oneka Hunting Preserve in Hugo. Some of the obstacles the runners encountered included the Kiss of Mud, Blockness Monster, Quagmire and Mudderhorn. Versions of the event are held across the United States and Canada. The Twin Cities installment of the event returned after a one year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
