SLICE OF SHOREVIEW: Schedule of activities inside

City takes green step The League of Minnesota Cities presented the city of Shoreview with the 2019 Sustainable City Award at the League’s annual conference in Duluth on June 27. The city was honored for its “Water Consumption and Groundwater Awareness Project.” Shoreview was also named a Step 5 city in the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program at the conference. “This award is a great achievement for Shoreview,” said Mayor Sandy Martin. “And by being part of the program, Shoreview and our peers are helping to make Minnesota more resilient for the future while also helping our cities thrive economically.” Shoreview’s “Water Consumption and Groundwater Awareness Project” was launched to test a shared community conservation portal that could lead to reduced water use. Through a partnership with WaterSmart Services, Shoreview residents can view their water use and compare their water use to similar households in the community. During the testing stage, more than 8 million gallons of water were saved by residents using the WaterSmart portal. The project incorporates several GreenStep Cities best practices, including development of an efficient water system, sustainable water consumption and adapting to changes in climate/community resilience. Shoreview achieved Step 4 again in 2019, advancing to become a Step 5 city in the Green Step Cities program. The Sustainable City Award is presented annually to recognize sustainability efforts by a city among those participating in the Minnesota GreenStep.

Moonstruck: On 50th anniversary of lunar landing, residents remember mankind’s giant leap BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

Saturday, July 20, marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. On that day, in 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle, which carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made contact with the surface of the moon while Michael Collins piloted the command module, Columbia, in lunar orbit. As Armstrong stepped out onto the moon, he uttered what have since become immortal words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Steve Emert, of White Bear Lake, was 15 at the time and “very excited” about the moon landing. He and his family, he said, “like many others, watched everything on CBS because we felt that Walter Cronkite, accompanied by astronaut Wally Schirra, was the best reporter for the Apollo program.” Digital video recorders didn’t exist in the 1960s, but tape recorders, at least, did. Emert said he tape-recorded the entire special leading up to the landing, in addition to the broadcast of the landing and the moonwalk itself. “I sure wish we had video recording capabilities in those days,” he added. Emert was one of approximately 600 million viewers who tuned into to watch Armstrong’s—and later Aldrin’s—moonwalk. “I remember the confusion created by CBS’s animation showing the (lunar module) landing before it actually did, and also Mr. Cronkite’s confusion about when exactly Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon because he said he was testing being able to get back up on the ladder.” SEE MOON LANDING, PAGE 22

Republican announces run for Senate Long-time Shoreview and Mounds View Resident Candy Sina announced her candidacy for Minnesota State Senate District 42. She is a Republican. The election will be held in 2020. Sina’s top priorities in the Senate will be restoring freedom and removing government control from the lives of families in suburban Ramsey County as much as possible. That includes putting K-12 education back into the hands of the parents, preventing the surplus from being spent on more wasteful government programs, preventing fraud in our government programs, and allowing citizens to choose healthcare

that meets their needs and not have a government mandated program forced upon them. Candy has spent most of her working career in healthcare, working in dentistry for years and in having her own healthcare compliance business. She has fi rst-hand experience with how detrimental excessive government regulations can be to the healthcare industry, imposing great financial burdens on individuals and families. Candy and her husband Dave are long time residents of the district, living in Shoreview for 30 years and in Mounds View for 10 years. Dave’s family has lived in Shoreview for 6 generations, predating the incorporation of the city. They have 5 grown children and 12 grandchildren. Candy is a graduate of the University of Northwestern. For more information visit candysinaforsenate.com.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Trail extension coming At its July 15 meeting, the Shoreview City Council adopted a resolution to support an amendment to Ramsey County’s Rice Creek North Trail Master Plan. The amendment includes changes to the central portion of the trail between County Road I and County Road H, and a trail extension to the south to the Highway 96 regional trail.

Kiwanis Club launches Peanut Day drive The North Suburban Kiwanis Golden K Club launched its annual Peanut Day drive this month. The drive, which runs until Sept. 21, is a primary source of funds used to support children/youth programs in the community. The initiative also provides individuals and businesses an opportunity to contribute to these programs in return for a box of peanuts. All of those involved in the annual drive are volunteers and all money contributed, net of the cost of the peanuts, is passed on to charities that support kids’ activities. In 2018 more than 100 business and professional entities contributed amounts ranging from $50 to $500. Some individuals made contributions as well. The drive enabled Kiwanis to provide over $9,100 in direct contributions to 15 community programs. Club members also logged over 5,100 volunteer hours in support of these programs. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to participate. Anyone interested in supporting the annual fund drive (and obtaining a box of peanuts) should visit the club website for more information (https://thegoldenkayer.org/).

performance last summer was one of the season’s highlights at the Shoreview Library, and he’s coming back with an all-new program. Part history lesson, part concert, this program will take you further down the road from the birth of the blues in the deep south to the sounds of the Great Migration in places like St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago. Joey has played with the greats, and he’ll share his memories of musicians from Etta James to Chaka Khan. This program is presented by the Shoreview Area Historical Society with the support of Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Admission is free and there is no registration required.

Monitor stream health in the watershed The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is holding stream evaluation events for volunteers every month on the fi rst Saturday until Sunday, Nov. 10. Since 2006, Friends of the Mississippi River has coordinated the Stream Health Evaluation Program (SHEP) in the watershed district. SHEP uses trained volunteers to evaluate the biological health of streams by sampling benthic macroinvertebrates, small stream-dwelling bugs. Each year, it needs 30 volunteers who work in three teams of 10. Preference is given to RCWD residents. No experience is necessary, as training will be provided. All are welcome; however, potential volunteers should seriously consider the tasks and hours involved before committing to the SHEP program. The program includes training led by professional scientists from Minnesota Waters and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The fi rst mandatory training is on Aug. 10. In September and early October, SHEP teams will monitor reaches of local streams and lakes. From late October to November, teams will

identify collected macroinvertebrates in the lab and, fi nally, scientists will review the work and submit a fi nal report to the RCWD, MPCA and others regarding the data and what it indicates for local water quality. Overall, SHEPers should expect to spend 35 hours on SHEP between training, stream collections, lab time and the analysis and results celebration. For more information and to register, visit fmr.org/streamhealth-evaluation-program-0.

Shoreview trafficking presentation The Shoreview Human Rights Commission will host an informational event on human trafficking from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Shoreview Community Center.

Birthdays are for free stuff

very year when my birthday (July 29) rolls around, I find myself checking my inbox more often. I scroll through my emails to see what deals I can snag just because I am one year older. I am pretty sure I gain about 10 pounds during each birthday week, but that is what birthdays are for, right? I would have thought I would have left the “free stuff rocks” mentality behind when I graduated college, but that is not the case. Some of the deals are exclusively valid on your birthday, but other Out & ones are valid for your birthday week or even About birthday month. Shannon First thing I need on my birthday is, of course, Granholm coffee. I will likely go to Starbucks, Caribou, Dunkin’ (Donuts) or Dunn Brothers and probably even more than one for my free birthday drink. Another necessity is ice cream or a dessert of some sort. A scroll through my inbox includes deals like: • $3 off a birthday cake/free Blizzard at Dairy Queen or a free sundae from Culver’s • Free burger at Red Robin or buy one get one 1/3 pound burger at Fuddruckers • Free popcorn at AMC Theatres • Free cupcake from Nadia Cakes • Free treat (that varies by month) from GODIVA • Free chocolate cake from Portillo’s • Buy one get one free creation from Cold Stone Creamery • Free scoop of ice cream at Baskin Robbins • Free stack of pancakes form IHOP • Free pastry from Panera or free bagel from Bruegger’s Bagels • Free appetizer or dessert from Olive Garden • Free 6-inch sub and drink from Subway • Free snack-size wings from Buffalo Wild Wings • Free egg sandwich from Einstein Bros. Bagels • Free smoothie from Jamba Juice • Free dessert from Applebee’s • Buy one get one pretzel at Auntie Anne’s And the list goes on ... Every year I find another deal I have to be sure to take advantage of for my next birthday. Many retailers also send deals hoping you will spend some money with them such as buy one get one, 50% off or $5-10 off. Of course, every year a lot of these deals go unused, especially the ones that are only valid on my birthday. In addition to having more than enough unhealthy food to last me a month, I also try to plan something fun. In the past I have gone to a concert, attended corgi races and made special dinner plans. This year, since my birthday falls on a Monday, I plan to celebrate the day before by attending the Sunflower Festival at Waldoch Farm in Lino Lakes. I can’t wait to see the thousands of flowers. Shannon Granholm is editor of The Citizen and Quad Community Press.

Cabin catastrophes… and how to avoid them

othing ruins a weekend at the cabin more than an unexpected trip to the doctor. Sometimes just knowing what to look out for can make the difference between a relaxing afternoon on the dock and an overnight stay in the hospital. Rope and docking injuries The rope itself can also be dangerous. Drivers and spotters need to be careful not to get a hand or finger under a tow rope. It is also important to remember to never step on the gas of Movers & the boat unless the rope is taught and Shakers you can see all of it. Carolyn McClain A rope hiding under the water could be tangled on a water ski or tuber’s hand. We have seen many injuries to hands and rope burns to the body because boaters aren’t paying close attention to the rope before taking off. We also see injuries to hands and fingers that have been crushed between the dock and the boat or two boats. Lures Lures are the culprit of the most common fishing injury we see at The Urgency Room. I’ve seen lures stuck in hands, legs, heads, faces… you name it. The most common lure injuries happen when someone is baiting the hook or trying to take the hook out of the fish’s mouth. We also see injuries when

Bites and rashes Mosquitos and gnats in Minnesota this time of year are just horrible. We worry about the skin infection that can occur when bites are itched so much the skin is broken. They can cause a lot of

Fire pit burns While enjoyable, bonﬁres are also a source of serious burn injuries. The ﬁrst and most important step to treating minor and serious burns is simple: cool it down. If you’re at home, run the injury under cold tap water or grab anything cold to pour over the burn, even a soft drink will work. The key thing is to act quickly because when you get burned, your skin literally starts to cook. You want to stop that process immediately. Speedy action with cold water reduces pain, swelling and the risk of scarring. Dehydration A day on the boat is dehydrating enough, but add alcohol to the mix and you’ve got a dangerous combination. We cannot stress enough the importance of moderation while up at the cabin. Be sure to hydrate properly and be smart. Spend your vacation relaxing… not rushing to the doctor for an injury that could have been prevented. Dr. Carolyn McClain, medical director of The Urgency Room

That (not so) clean lake water If you have a small cut on your foot and go swimming in the lake, there is a very good chance that cut will get infected. Minnesota lakes are ﬁlled with bacteria. One example is Aeromonas hydrophila. This is a type of bacteria commonly found in freshwater or brackish water and in some ﬁsh. It can contaminate an open cut and cause a serious skin infection. Aeromonas hydrophila can also cause stomach upset, diarrhea and vomiting if swallowed. As a general rule, cuts in the lake need to be cleaned out thoroughly as even the most minor cut can get infected. Swimmers itch is another ailment we see this time of year when enjoying our Minnesota lakes. It can be incredibly itchy and often doesn’t show up for a day or two after swimming in an infected lake. If you have it, we want to see you at The Urgency Room, as this almost unbearable itch can be treated with steroids.

discomfort and swelling. Hornets and wasps are also a concern, as a bite from either can easily turn into a huge welt that is red and hot to the touch. If this sounds familiar, we want to see you. Poison ivy is another skin concern. We like to remind patients that they can also catch it from picking up a pet that has been walking through an area with the plant.

Butterfly milkweed essential garden plant

ost people like pollinators such as butterfl ies and bees, and many also want to support monarch butterfl ies. Most people also like pretty flowers and many prefer them on native plants. Here is one way to combine all these attributes in one plant. Butterfly milkweed, scientific name Asclepias tuberosa, is also Gardener’s known as butterfly weed. It produces Grapevine copious nectar. It is a perennial pollinator Lynda Ellis plant, attracts hummingbirds and iis a h l t for monarch butterfly hostt plant caterpillars. It is a native Minnesota plant. Native Americans used fibers

from the dried stems to make ropes and weave into cloth. Many tribes used parts of it as food. In colonial America, dried leaves of butterfly milkweed and skunk cabbage were made into a tea to treat chest complaints; this gave butterfly milkweed the alternate name “pleurisy root.” Butterfly milkweed does not transplant well because it has a deep woody taproot. It can be divided by using a sharp knife to slice down the length of the taproot. Every piece that has at least one eye, some of the taproot and a few side roots is a viable division. This long taproot means that it is tolerant of dry conditions. But it also can handle moisture; I have it on the high sides of my rain garden. It has the usual milkweed pods and it is easily propagated from the seeds in these pods. Collect them

as the pods just begin to open. It is best to plant the seeds in autumn, to germinate the following spring. They will flower in year three. Note that mature plants may freely self-seed in the landscape if seed pods are not removed prior to them opening. These pods could be given to friends who want them. It is an essential garden plant because of its large, fl at-topped clusters of bright orange flowers at the top of flowering stems. Though it is a milkweed, it has a watery, not milky sap. This means it can be used for cut flowers. Its leaves are green and form a nice backdrop for the bright flowers. The mature plant is 1-2 feet high. It handles sun or part shade and blooms from June to September It is hardy in zones 3-9. I wish you the best with all of your growing efforts.

Walk in the Garden classes Walk in the Garden classes are held in the beautiful Veteran’s Memorial Garden on the south side of Bunker Hills Activities Center, 550 Bunker Lake Blvd NW, Andover. Enjoy summer evenings learning about a variety of gardening topics. The classes are free, but due to limited seating, we require registrations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mark Aug. 13 as election day! Because our previous county commissioner resigned in June, there will be a special election in November to fi ll the last year of his seat. However, since there are nine people running, there must be a nonpartisan primary on Tuesday, Aug. 13, to narrow the field down to two people. If you have plans to be away on Aug. 13, you can vote absentee. You’ll need to either request an absentee ballot from the county (search “Ramsey County elections vote before Election Day” online and you’ll fi nd the instructions) or vote in person at Ramsey County Elections in St. Paul. Nicole Frethem is running, and she is an engaging, prepared and energetic candidate. She works in human services for the state, but she has identified ways to improve efficiency and get

Violent, property crimes decrease statewide The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) released the 2018 Uniform Crime Report this month. Local law enforcement agencies must report their crime data each year to the BCA to meet state and federal reporting requirements. The BCA compiles the data into an annual report and provides required data to the FBI for its reporting purposes. Violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery, human trafficking and aggravated assault) decreased by 6.7 percent overall in 2018. Murders decreased from 114 in

2017 to 104 in 2018. Rapes were up 9.3 percent in 2018. Robberies and aggravated assault both saw declines in 2018. Property crimes decreased in 2018, down 8.9 percent compared to 2017. Motor vehicle theft was up for the third straight year. But burglary, larceny and arson all saw sizable decreases. Arson numbers dropped to their lowest number since the state began tracking arson crimes.

Preliminary 2018 data show drop in opioid deaths Preliminary statewide data show a decrease in overall drug overdose deaths in Minnesota, with deaths dropping 17% from 733 in 2017 to 607 in 2018. While the trend is promising, overdose rates remain at historic highs and indicate a significant amount of work is still needed in prevention and treatment of substance use disorder. Chief drivers of the change were decreases in heroin deaths and deaths that involved prescription opioids. Total opioid deaths declined 22% from 422 in 2017 to 331 in 2018. There was a 32% decrease in prescription opioid-involved deaths from 195 in 2017 to 134 in 2018. Heroin deaths decreased 23% from 111 in 2017 to 85 in 2018. The preliminary data released by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) shows deaths related to synthetic opioids, primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl, continued to increase. A vast majority of the synthetic opioid deaths involved fentanyl. Of the 195 deaths, 184 (94%) had fentanyl listed as contributing to the death on the death certificate. Synthetic opioids are now involved in the greatest number of overdose deaths for all drugs, surpassing commonly prescribed opioids. Data contained within this report are preliminary and may change as they are fi nalized. A fi nal report is anticipated this fall.

Retired Lexington firefighter trains search and rescue dog BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD EDITOR

Oscar is only 8 months old, but he is already well on his way to becoming a hero. Oscar is a golden retriever that belongs to retired Lexington firefighter (1994-2017) Bradley Gavin. After Gavin’s Newfoundland/black lab mix passed away, it didn't take him long to find another companion. “I didn't last two and a half weeks; I knew I needed four legs,” he said. Gavin picked up Oscar in December when the puppy was only 2 months old, and the training began. Gavin has been a technician with Northstar Search and Rescue for 2 1/2 years. He first heard about the nonprofit organization after he became president of the Lexington Fire charitable gambling organization and attended the state convention. “I love working with dogs. It is the concept of helping other people in a tangible way and being a part of something that is bigger than myself,” Gavin explained. Northstar Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer organization that has been in existence for 30 years. The volunteers use their skills and experience to assist law enforcement and other government agencies in finding and recovering lost persons in any environment, whether in urban settings or the wilderness. Currently, the organization has 15 members from all over the state and about 10 dogs of various breeds including a goldendoodle, golden retriever, border collie, German shepherd, Bavarian mountain hound and various mutts. “We have really talented people out there that are dedicated to helping saving lives,” Northstar Search and Rescue Chief Diane Stefanick said. As a technician, Gavin is responsible for going out on searches with a handler and K-9. He is in charge of communication, mapping, carrying extra water and more. When Oscar’s training is complete, he will be Gavin’s first search and rescue dog, and Gavin will be able to serve as both a handler and a technician. Right now, Oscar’s training consists mainly of obedience, but he also routinely plays hide-and-seek to practice search skills. “They are like kids; the sooner you start reading books to them, the sooner they start reading. It is all a game,” Gavin explained. “His drive is a squeaky ball. For another dog in our group, it is raw bacon. You have to make it as fun as possible for them. It has to be fun and rewarding.” Gavin said Northstar Search and Rescue is most commonly called upon to help find little kids, people with autism, dementia patients and suicides. The dogs can search both on land and in water, and some dogs are specifically trained in cadaver searches, which means they search for someone who is likely deceased. As a person who has attempted suicide multiple times, Gavin said, “My dream is always to find somebody before they actually do it. My life is so much better than I ever could have imagined, and I want to do whatever I can to let them know it does get better.” Although the organization mainly stays in Minnesota and Wisconsin, it has also been called to nearby states including Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. Stefanick said the group participated in about 30 searches last year and averages between 30 and 50 searches each year. “We go through some pretty tough conditions ... cold temperatures, swamps, buckthorn, raspberry bushes, rough brush ... the dogs really get sliced up by that stuff,” Gavin explained. The dogs use various articles such as socks, hats, handkerchiefs, T-shirts, bandanas, shoes, pants etc. to help locate the missing. Gavin said it is very important that whoever gives them an article doesn’t transfer their scent to the article. “Use a clean Ziploc baggy and pick it up with the baggy so no hand touches it. You can also wear non-latex gloves,” Gavin explained. Gavin also added it is important for people to report someone missing as soon as they know they are missing, rather than waiting 24 hours. “24 hours is a television thing. If you know somebody is missing, call the police and tell them why you know they are missing.” Typically it takes around 1 1/2 years to fully train

a dog, but every dog and handler are a bit different, Stefanick said. Search and rescue dog teams are trained to nationally recognized standards and certified through organizations such as North American Working Dog Association, United K-9s, National Association for Search and Rescue, and Law Enforcement Training Standards. In addition, technicians are also required to take a class that takes about 30 hours to complete. Northstar Search and Rescue also has minimum requirements for medical training. Handlers bear the financial burden for training, certifications, gear, equipment and travel expenses. Those who wish to donate to Northstar Search and

Purple martins enjoy flashy summer houses BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Most young birds grow up in a nest constructed painstakingly by their parents, made of twigs, feathers, hair, spider webs and many other materials. Young purple martins, however, grow up in condos. Purple martins are large members of the swallow family. If you watch long enough, you may notice that male purple martins glisten an iridescent violet-blue color in the right light. When not hanging out around their houses, martins are usually seen gliding effortlessly on the wing, gathering all their food and water without ever landing. The loud, trilling chirps of these birds have accompanied many long and full summer days on the lake. The palatial structures of the summer homes of purple martins may catch your eye this summer. Martins are colonial nesters, which means they prefer to raise their young in close proximity to each other. Their housing structures usually consist of four to 12 individual nesting spaces. However, these birds seek out cavities to raise their young, and the availability of natural cavity spaces has diminished along with human development. Similar to the placement of houses to provide more nesting spaces

JACKIE BUSSJAEGER | SUBMITTED

Humans have provided shelter for purple martins with artificial nest boxes for centuries; some say the practice extends back to indigenous people placing hollow gourds for birds to nest in.

for cavity nesters such as bluebirds, humans have provided purple martins with manmade housing for years. In fact, some say the practice of hanging martin houses extends back to indigenous people, who were said to hang hollowed gourds for these birds. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the practice of placing martin houses was so common that

John James Audubon used them as indicators to choose his lodging for the night. In 1831, he wrote: “Almost every country tavern has a martin box on the upper part of its signboard; and I have observed that the handsomer the box, the better does the inn generally prove to be.” According to the National Audubon Society, almost all purple martins in

the eastern region of the U.S. nest in manmade boxes like these. Purple martin houses are conspicuous—each consists of several individual boxes or gourd-shaped structures. Most are freestanding to prevent easy access for predators, and usually painted white. The white color helps to reflect sunlight and keep birds cool inside the nest. Plus, the martins seem to have several preferences—some researchers have noted that martins seem to be attracted to the white color and to choose larger nests rather than smaller ones. Martins compete heavily with several different species of bird for available nesting space, which makes the placement of martin houses all the more important. When it comes to nesting, some of their biggest enemies are invasive house sparrows and European starlings. There’s a claim that martins can eat about 2,000 mosquitoes a day, but this is just rumor. Martins typically don’t eat mosquitoes at all, preferring bigger insects such as dragonflies, grasshoppers, beetles, wasps, and bees. Those looking to provide a home for nesting purple martins should locate the birdhouses in an open area, with no barriers to prevent the birds from gliding straight into their homes.

Foundation gives out grants in area districts The Vadnais Heights Area Community Foundation (VHACF) has fi nalized grants to seven different nonprofit organizations in an effort to assist neighbors in need and to enhance the community. “We are extremely pleased with opportunity to support so many of our local organizations in this round of grant making,” stated VHACF Chair Jerry Moynagh. “There were so many applications from diverse areas that were so deserving, leading us to give grants to a near record seven groups.” Grants were provided for a variety of projects including to Mounds View Community Theater for its upcoming production of the Man of La Mancha. An exciting play adopted from Cervantes’ Don Quixote. This production aims to include area actors and stage hands from all walks of life giving those with the passion for theater a local outlet. The Matoska International School received a grant to conduct a workshop with employees and staff around social justice and anti-bias in the classroom. “It is so critical that our children receive an education geared towards them. We felt the mission of eliminating bias in our classrooms helped meet that need and we are pleased that we could contribute to this worthy mission,” Moynagh said. VHACF provided a grant to the Willow

Lane Elementary School PTO to help provide scholarships for fi fth graders to go on an environmental field trip at Camp Icaghowan in Amery for two days. Newtrax was provided a grant to expand its community senior circular, which been a success in helping seniors continue to live in and move about the community. Rounding out the grants this

session were the 2019 White Bear High School Visual Arts Contest and a grant for animal therapy for clients of Merrick. The VHACF is an endowment fund created by the citizens of Vadnais Heights to work with grant partners and strengthen the local community.

We “enjoyed” a couple rounds of thunderstorms last week along with some good old fashioned heat and humidity. A good thunderstorm the evening of Monday, July 15 totaled an inch of rain along with high winds. That was followed by an increase in humidity the rest of the week, which included a rare dew point event, when dew points peaked at 80º on Friday, July 19. A Saturday morning thunderstorm brought us nearly another inch of rain and cooler and drier air. A couple friends even told me they put on their car heaters that day, one her car seat warmer.

Mounds View VFW is 29-3, headed for state tourney BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mounds View VFW team earned a trip to the the state tournament after fighting off a couple of upset bids in the District 7 tournament. The Mustangs (29-3) played in the district finals on Monday in Osseo against the winners of a Forest Lake vs. Centennial semifinal. (This newspaper’s deadline is Monday morning.) “We’ve been getting good pitching from a lot of guys and we have seven guys hitting .340 or more,” said coach Darcy Ruff. The top two teams in the 23-team district advance to state, so the Mustangs had already clinched. That’s new this year. “We’ve been fighting for that for years,” Ruff said. District 7 is by far the biggest district and has the most success in state tournaments. Mounds View was top-seeded but had “a tough time in the playoffs” in the first two rounds, Ruff said. In a three-game series against No. 17 Chisago Lakes, they won 14-0, lost 7-0, and prevailed 2-1 in 11 innings in game three. The winning run coming around on a passed ball and throwing error. Then the Mustangs edged No. 19 Orono 8-7 in eight innings. Brendan Goldman’s sac fly with bases loaded was the game-winner. Stellar pitching nailed down the state berth after that. Mounds View

stymied Centennial 4-1 as Andrew Boeser threw a two-hitter with eight strikeouts, and Forest Lake 3-0 with Will Rogers twirling a three-hitter with nine strikeouts. Against Centennial, Goldman scored two runs and drove home the other

two, with a single and double. Paul Diekoff was also 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Against Forest Lake, Rogers, Boeser and Cole Hinkel had RBI hits. Pitchers with more than 20 innings each are Boeser (8-0), Blake Guerin (4-0), Dieckoff (4-0), Logan Grimm

(3-0) and Cole Hinkell (2-1). Hinkell is also the main catcher. The top hitter is Mason Dean batting .490 in the leadoff slot. The VFW state tournament is set for Aug. 7-11 in Brainerd. VFW baseball is for sophomores and freshmen.

DeCaster, ex-Mustang pitcher, shooting up the Detroit Tigers chain BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Former Mounds View pitcher Ethan DeCaster is making a meteoric rise through the Detroit Tigers minor league chain since finishing his college career 13 months ago. DeCaster, already in Triple A, one rung from the majors, was the subject of a recent feature story in the Detroit Free Press. “Yeah, it’s been kinda crazy,” DeCaster acknowledged to sportswriter Jeff Seidel in the June 24 article. The 24-year-old relief pitcher, drafted by the Tigers out of Duke University in the 18th round in 2018, currently is wearing the colors of the Toledo Mud Hens. That’s his sixth pro uniform, and third this year, as he climbs the ladder in the organization. DeCaster, a 2013 graduate of MVHS, has pitched 13 innings in seven appearances for the

Mud Hens, with a 1-1 record, one save, a 3.46 earned-run-average, and 17 strikeouts against three walks. Before the call-up to Toledo, the 6-3, 190-pound righthander posted a 3.07 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings for Lakeland, Florida, in Class A, then moved up to Erie, Pennsylvania, in Class AA, where he sparkled in 14 appearances, compiling a 1.52 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. (He had no decisions at either place). Erie manager Mike Rabela said it’s “mind-boggling” how far DeCaster has advanced. “I don’t know how many other players have gone to Triple-A less than 365 days after being drafted,” Rabelo told the Free Press. “That is absolutely amazing.” In 2018, after being drafted by the Tigers in the 18th round, DeCaster pitched in 31 games for three teams, notching 56 strikeouts against

just 10 walks in 51 1/3 innings, with a 2.28 ERA and a 2-2 record with one save. He moved up from rookie league (Connecticut) to Class A short (West Miami) to Class A full (Lakeland). Tigers minor league pitching coordinator A.J. Sager told the Free Press: “He has been very effective, produced really, really well for us through the system.” Sager added that DeCaster at 24 is more mature than a lot of minor league players. While Caster does not have great velocity, he has shown excellent control of a variety of pitches, hitting the corners on both sides of the plate. His 8-to-1 ratio of strikeouts to walks is “off the charts,” Sager noted. DeCaster commented that he’s been in 15 different hotels in the last two months and always keeps a bag packed. Not that he is complaining. In high school with the Mustangs, DeCaster had a

7-2 record in his junior and senior seasons, striking out 51 in 58 innings, according to his Creighton University bio. He helped the Mustangs reach the 2013 state tournament but didn’t get to play due to an injury. He pitched three seasons for Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, where he switched from overhand to sidearm after an arm injury as a freshman. With the Bluejays, DeCaster pitched in 75 games, logging an 8-5 record, nine saves, 78 strikeouts in 104 1/3 innings, and a 2.46 ERA per nine innings.

With one more year of eligibility, the business major transferred to Duke University in North Carolina as a graduate student. He was an instant sensation for Duke, allowing no runs in his first 22 innings. He finished with a 6-0 record and five saves in 27 appearances with a 1.34 ERA, striking out 57 (with just six walks) in 53 2/3 innings. By that time he had been drafted, and after Duke lost out in the super regional, he moved right into his first post-college job with the Tiger organization.

Tri-City Red has a state title to defend as Legion playoffs begin BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Tri-City Red is making its bid to repeat as state champion this week. The Legion baseball team composed of Mounds View athletes took an 18-3 record into the District 4 tournament which started Tuesday and will conclude Saturday. The champion advances to state. The state title earned by Red last year was the program’s sixth. Tri-City Red is ranked No. 2 in the state. Another

District 4 team, Lino Lakes, is ranked No. 4. Coached by Nik Anderson, the Red have won two big tournaments. They were champs at the Fargo-Moorhead Invitational, beating Moorhead 5-1 in the finals June 30. Ike Mezzenga and Cole Stenstrom pitched, and Carter Traczyk delivered a two-run single. They also went 4-0 in the Burnsville Snake Pit Tournament June 21-23.

Fairy-tale bookstore dreams come true BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

Vadnais Heights resident Sue Costello has dreamed â€” literally â€” about having her own bookstore since she was a child. She remembers vivid dreams in the night that led her to where she and her fiancĂŠ Rick Gahm are today â€” the grand opening of Winding Trail Books in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul on June 18. â€œEver since I was little, I loved books,â€? Costello said. â€œI'd spend hours in the library.â€? She ran her own day care for 15 years before deciding to make a go of starting a bookstore. Gahm has been self-employed and had his own mortgage company. Costello and Gahm have lived in the Vadnais Heights/White Bear Lake area for about 25 years. They've been working towards their dream of having a business together for about two years. They found the perfect spot in the Courtyard Shoppes at Milton Square. The more than 100-year-old buildings create a fairy-tale scene. â€œIt looks like it's out of a storybook,â€? Costello said. â€œLike they plucked it out of a scene of Grimms' Fairy Tales.â€? Inside, the shop will be painted with whimsical murals by artist and children's illustrator Shawn McCann. The buildings were built in the early 1900s as shops with apartments above, said owner Heather O'Malley. They were on the streetcar route. Today, 13 businesses rent space. Costello and Gahm named their store Winding Trail Books to remember the time they spent on long walks talking about their dreams to own a book and gift store. The storeâ€™s logo has a redwinged blackbird, which they often saw and heard on their walks. The bookstore will offer

books for all ages as well as unique gifts, such as wooden Pinocchios made in Italy by Bartolucci, a family-run business that has stores in Urbino, Rome and Florence. Shoppers will also be able to fi nd consigned art. Costello and Gahm will sponsor Lori and Juliaâ€™s book club from My Talk 107.1 radio station and sell the books they review at the store. Other plans include holding childrenâ€™s book events regularly at the store. Costello has a particular eye for childrenâ€™s books; she created her own day care curriculum and found books to go with it. â€œThe community really wanted childrenâ€™s books,â€? Gahm noted. Winding Trail Books hopes to be involved in the community and partner with the library and senior facilities. â€œWe like the small-town atmosphere,â€? Gahm said. Opening weekend includes book signings and music. On July 18, Author Amy Pendino will hold a book signing for the â€œThe Witness Tree.â€? On July 19, Author Lorna Landvik will sign books for â€œChronicles of a Radical Hagâ€? and â€œAngry Housewives Eating Bon Bons.â€? The Minnesota Raptor Center will visit on July 20. Jay Calk from the Church of Cash band will also play. The store is located at 2230 Carter Ave., Suite 8. For more information, visit WindingTrailBooks.com.

MOON LANDING: A look back to 1969 FROM PAGE 1

Fifty years later, Emert is still fascinated by the moon and the cosmos. A member of the Minnesota Astrological Society, he’s leading the club’s efforts to build a full-size mock-up of the Apollo 11 landing site and the Lunar Module Eagle, which will be showcased at the Eagle Lake Observatory in Baylor Regional Park during the Astrological Society’s moon landing anniversary celebration July 20 and again Aug. 2-4. “While the (lunar module) didn’t have a lot of room inside for the astronauts, I’m beginning to realize that thing is huge on the outside,” Emert said. Roberta Weems, of Vadnais Heights, was 12 at the time of the moon landing. “It’s hard to remember if I watched it live on TV, and I remember that or if I remember the replays from later,” she admitted. But, while she wishes she personally remembered more, she does, at least, recall her dad’s stories about his role in the Apollo missions. Weems’ father, Bob Oulicky, served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Thanks to all he learned about technology and engineering throughout the war, he later landed a job with Sperry-Univac (now known as Unisys). “He was part of the team that developed the system that was used in the moon landing,” Weems said.

Throughout the Apollo moon missions, NASA’s tracking stations used Univac computers to communicate with astronauts back on Earth. Like Emert, White Bear Lake resident Joann Thompson watched the moon landing unfold on CBS. She and her family were vacationing on Lake Michigan at the time. “I remember watching on a 13-inch, black and white TV with rabbit ear antenna. We set it up in the front upstairs bedroom facing Lake Michigan to try to get good reception across the water from Wisconsin,” she said. “Of course, by today’s standards, reception wasn’t that good at all.” Thompson said the astronauts’ excitement was palpable—and contagious. “We (my two sisters and I) all started jumping up and down once the landing had occurred,” she remembered. “I was thrilled as an almost 10-year-old.”

Veterans learn to retake the reins through equine-assisted therapy BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

A group of veterans is experiencing the healing power of therapy, thanks to a caring team comprised of both two- and four-legged therapists. Acres for Life Therapy and Wellness Center, which specializes in equine-assisted therapy, has launched a program specifically for veterans. The transition from combat to civilian life is often a difficult one, and the trauma that many military members experience can make the return home all the more isolating. “For many (veterans), there are no words for what they have seen, done and experienced,” said Sally Jane Mixon, Chief Development Officer and Equine Trainer. That’s where the horses come in. Though humans have long found healing through communion with nature and connection with animals, there’s much to suggest that horses make for something special. Mixon said that horses’ ability to regulate trauma provides a helpful model for people with PTSD, which many veterans have been diagnosed with. “(Horses) are prey animals, so they’re constantly on high alert. But they have this ability to fl ick it off like a switch. So, they hear something, they lift their head up, they see if it’s danger. If it’s not, they go back to grazing,” Mixon explained. “With people and past trauma, even though the cause of that trauma isn’t right in front of us, it’s still there. It triggers us, and we go into this spiral because of our adapted brain. We’re smarter, we’re wiser, we have the upper hand, but that’s what keeps us stuck.” In 2016, Acres for Life, which was founded by Lynn Moore in 2001, merged with Abijah’s Hope, a nonprofit Mixon started to rescue and rehabilitate horses in need. The fact that both Acres for Life clients and the horses with which they work have experienced trauma of some sort helps deepen their connections and, in turn, facilitate healing. “Most of our herd has trauma—whether trauma of neglect, abuse (or) injuries—so they have a lot in common with many of our clients,” Mixon said. “A lot of them were saved from slaughter or rejected and not able to be ridden, so their sense of value is lost. How many people can say that they feel the same?” Acres for Life follows the Equine-Assisted Growth and Learn Association (EAGALA) model of equine-assisted therapy, which is widely considered the gold standard for equine-assisted psychotherapy across the world. “Compared to traditional talk therapy—which is wonderful; we love talk therapy—this is a little different,” Mixon said. “Rather than getting in your head and talking about things, you’re focused on the body. Your senses are stimulated; you’re moving; you’re touching things. Your whole body is involved in this holistic experience.” Likewise, an EAGALA-based session takes place not inside with the client lying on a couch, but outdoors interacting with a horse. “Out in the pasture, the whole space becomes a big metaphor for the client’s life. Horses, physical elements (and) nature become characters in the story. The horses are picking up on things going on internally in the client through shifts and patterns and unique behaviors that we watch for,” Mixon said. Though clients come to Acres for Life for myriad reasons, anxiety, depression, addiction and PTSD are common affl ictions. During the initial sessions, therapists prompt clients to see the horse as a physical manifestation of their struggles. “We ask who or what this large thing that’s coming towards you and is all over you is. One guy said, ‘It’s my addiction. It’s big, and I can’t move or control it,’” Mixon said. “Another time, a vet put his forehead on the horse, started

crying. He looked at me and asked ‘What’s wrong with me? I’m crying, and I don’t know why.’ But nothing was wrong with him …. His body was having a powerful experience. We have him soak that in, kind of allow that time for the brain to catch up with the body.” By the end of 2019, Acres for Life is on track to hold approximately 3,000 sessions for somewhere between 100 and 200 veterans. Both individual and group sessions are offered; an eight-week women’s group started in May, and others will follow after. Mixon, who grew up with horses—“They were kind of my therapist, so to speak,” she said—loves that her work at Acres for Life gives her the opportunity to witness others experience that same healing power. “It’s transforming; it’s truly a healing process

I’ve seen clients from little kiddos to older veterans (who) do a 180,” she said. “When you’re out in that space, you’re forced to become present, because there’s a 1,200-pound animal breathing on your face. You’re not thinking about ‘What am I going to do tomorrow? Why did I pull that trigger?’ There’s almost like a pause button, and they’re able to breathe, which creates an opening to healing. It gives space to their space.” Acres for Life is located at 18323 N. July Ave., Forest Lake. For more information, call 651-2574159 or visit acresforlife.org.

‘The Wall That Heals,’ replica of Vietnam Veterans Memorial, comes to Stillwater BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

STILLWATER — From July 2528, Stillwater will host “The Wall That Heals,” a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Fraternal Order of Eagles 94, along with the Bayport and Stillwater American Legions, have worked to bring the memorial, currently on tour throughout the United States, to Stillwater. Last summer, the wall made a stop at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. Adeline Carroll, gambling manager for the Eagles, said that her own visit in St. Paul last year inspired her to bring the experience to the St. Croix Valley. “Even though we (the Eagles) aren’t military-affi liated, we have a lot of veterans in our organization, and we know that we have a lot of veterans in our community,” she said. “We thought it would be something great to do for them, something to show them that we appreciate their service.” Adding Stillwater to the wall’s list of stops took $10,000, most of which was raised through the Eagles’ charitable gambling, Carroll said. The traveling memorial is a three-fourths replica of the original. It stands at 7½ feet tall and will stretch across 375 feet of the Old Athletic Field on 1338 Sixth Ave. S. in Stillwater. It is

a part of a larger effort by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund to educate the public about the history of the Vietnam War and to facilitate healing for veterans who may not be able to travel to Washington, D.C., to see the original. “One really cool thing about it is that it’s going to highlight anyone killed in Vietnam from Washington County,” Carroll added. The wall will be set up the morning of Wednesday, July 24, and will open to the public 6 p.m. that day. It will remain open 24 hours a day through 3 p.m. Sunday, July 28. “I’m very proud that Stillwater has the honor of hosting (the memorial),” said Mayor Ted Kozlowski. “Starting with the First Regiment of the Minnesota Volunteers, Stillwater has a very proud history of service to our country, and I could not think of a better venue than our beautiful river town.” Around 150 volunteers are needed to set up and take down the wall, as well as to navigate visitors. To volunteer, contact 715-6909531 or eagles94@live.com. More information about the Wall That Heals can be found online at vvmf. org/the-wall-that-heals.
