Some Cub Scout leaders were not surprised when the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced last summer that packs could choose to

welcome girls. In fact, the announcement was anticipated. “I wasn’t surprised, because the district let us know that it seemed like we were going in that direction,” said Dan Celotta, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 692 in Lino Lakes. Brian

SHOREVIEW — A new playground will be coming to Ponds Park. The park is located near Sherwood Road and Pond Drive. The current playground is more than 25 years old. The replacement will cost about $61,000. The contractor chosen was St. Croix Recreation. The playground will have a wood mulch base instead of pea gravel. It will include slides, swings, climbing walls and other features. A neighborhood meeting suggested adding a shade structure, which increased the cost from $55,000 to $61,000. The city had $55,000 set aside in its capital improvement program this year for the playground. It will use funds from the general fi xed asset revolving fund to pay for the shade structure. The City Council approved the proposal for Ponds Park playground equipment replacement

Going solar in the northeast metro BY CONRAD ENGSTROM PRESS INTERN

The thunderstorm and fire engines outside White Bear Lake City Hall did not stop Solar United Neighbors of Minnesota from holding a meeting about the new Mahtomedi area solar co-op. Around 15 community members battled the rain July 12 to educate themselves on solar and what a solar co-op looks like. Solar United Neighbors held a similar meeting in Mahtomedi on May 31 in which 32 community members showed up. Virginia Rutter, program director of Solar United Neighbors of Minnesota, listed the benefits of going solar and going solar through a co-op that Solar United Neighbors provides. “Our goal is to increase education about solar and fight for energy rights in the areas that we have coops,” Rutter said. Solar United Neighbors got started in Washington,

D.C., when a family wanted to convert to solar energy use and could not afford it. So they went door to door to get other people to join them in hopes of getting a reduced price. After getting the residents of around 50 neighborhood homes to join them, they qualified for bulk purchasing, making it affordable for everyone. Afterward, the group kept getting calls from others looking to explore the bulk purchase concept, and Solar United Neighbors was born. Today, Solar United Neighbors is located in eight states, including Minnesota. Mahtomedi is not the first city to get a solar co-op. There are co-ops happening in Minneapolis, Bemidji, Apple Valley, Rochester and Kandiyohi County. Solar United Neighbors works to leverage the power of bulk purchasing to help community members save money on solar energy. The process is free up until a person signs on the dotted line to have a solar array SEE SOLAR, PAGE 11

SCHOOL BRIEF

Shoreview resident Ron Peterson recently published a memoir of his life called “An Introvert Learns to Fly: A Memoir of Timidity, Panic, Science, Leadership, and Love.” Peterson grew up a “nerd.” He built two large telescopes by the time he was 14 and went on to graduate from Caltech and earn a PhD in physics. He learned he had to overcome his natural timidity to succeed in his career at Honeywell. Peterson founded one of the largest community gardens in Minnesota and won a Shoreview Green Community award for solar collectors and low energy use. The often-humorous memoir offers life lessons. New Shoreview author Joan M. Wolf’s middle-grade novel has received praise for educating readers about the historical context. In “Runs With Courage,” set in the Dakota Territory in 1880, Four Winds is a 10-year old Lakota girl faced with the realities of her people’s forced move to the reservation. The book was named 2017 NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People. She is also the author of the middle-grade novel “Someone Named Eva” (Clarion Books) as well as several teacher resource books. She has taught all ages, from children to adult, and is currently an elementary school teacher.

Dear vaccine developers

y husband, who is in his 30s, was diagnosed with shingles recently — an ailment that stereotypically affects golden-agers. When I went to CVS Pharmacy that day, I happened to see an ad for the Shingrix vaccine on the counter. I had a nice chat with the pharmacist — I learned her friend in her 20s also recently had shingles and that the vaccine is not prescribed for people under age 50. I also learned that the Shingrix vaccine was on back order due to popularity. Witnessing the blistering rash that resembled third-degree burns, phantasmic needles pricking the skin and nerve pain running up and down the body, I could see why any person fully aware of the Story effects of the virus would get the shingles vaccine. Chaser Shingles is a reactivation of the Sara Marie Moore chicken pox (varicella zoster) virus, which lies dormant in the nerves of basically everyone who has had chicken pox. It can be reactivated for a variety of reasons. Shingles isn’t contagious but it can give someone chickenpox who has not had it before. Shingles affects older people more often as their immunity naturally declines with age. Hence why vaccine developers tested the vaccine on older people. GSK developed the Shingrix vaccine, which succeeded Merck & Co’s Zostavax as the more effective vaccine recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017. GSK tested the vaccine on people age 50 and older to combat the age-related immunity decline that can cause shingles, according to its website. It was shown to be 90 percent effective. That’s awesome — if you’re over 50. The Gen X and Millenial generations are perhaps at an increased risk of contracting shingles earlier in life due to another successful vaccine — the chicken pox vaccine. While it has almost wiped out the childhood disease among Gen Z and beyond, young adults who had chicken pox as children are no longer exposed to the virus. Some doctors theorize that means their immune system has less opportunity to get a boost against the virus. Immune cells that remember the virus die off with time. Studies in the 1960s by British epidemiologist Robert Edgar Hope-Simpson concluded those who were repeatedly exposed to the virus were less prone to reactivation, according to an article published by Maclean’s. Who is going to make a shingles vaccine that can be prescribed to people under age 50? I contacted GSK to ask if they have any plans for developing a shingles vaccine for those under 50. Crickets — no response. I’ve heard quite a few people question whether the price tag on the vaccine is worth it since it is not covered by all insurances. It costs about $300 out-of-pocket. If I could, I’d be lining up for the vaccine, doing whatever I could to pay for it. Plus, it’s going to cost more than $300 in doctor visits, medicine and comfort care if you get shingles. One in three Americans gets shingles; one million people each year. Shingles affects one area of your body on one side, depending on where it was reactivated in your nervous system. Thankfully, my husband had it on his back and leg. When it is reactivated in the cranial nerve, it can cause damage to the eye. Wherever it shows up, it can also cause postherpetic neuralgia, chronic nerve pain that can last years. Oh, to be 50. Not. What I really want is a shingles vaccine for the generations sandwiched between those who can get the shingles vaccine and those who received the chicken pox vaccine (and are therefore generally protected from shingles, as well). Please keep me posted, GSK. Or maybe Merck & Co. has something new up its sleeve. I know this is a ﬁrst-world problem and I appreciate all you both do to mitigate so many diseases. Sara Marie Moore is editor of the Vadnais Heights Press and the Shoreview Press.

Man’s best friend the source of local injuries

ne of the most common causes of injuries we see at The Urgency Room is something you might not suspect: dogs. Almost every single day doctors at our UR locations treat a dog injury.

Movers and The patient broke both his pinkie Shakers and index finger and tore tendons. Dr. Carolyn The injuries were extensive. McClain Dog-related injuries are very common this time of year as are misconceptions about treatment. Here are important tips about dog injuries and warnings for dog owners: • Our doctors see broken arms and legs when dogs run in front of children and adults who suddenly fall. • We see lots of bites from owners trying to break up a fight between dogs. • When a dog bites, it’s typically the fi rst time and it doesn’t matter the size or breed of dog.

Dog bites almost always get infected and patients need to be seen and put on antibiotic. • Do not expect the doctor to close a dog bite wound. These bites are wrapped and closed a couple days later so infection isn’t trapped. • Dog bites on the face are the only wounds that get closed right away and typically have to be closed again or repaired by a plastic surgeon. • Doctors at The Urgency Room are required to report dog bites in certain cities.

Making good choices is a constant effort

he food deck is stacked against us. I don’t like to present a dismal, dark and foreboding picture, but unless you are proactive, intentional and well versed in good food choices, the nutritional quality of the food that we consume is not great. These feelings are with me because of a trip I recently took when my efforts to eat well were especially challenged. Often in summer, schedules are different, and we are out of our normal eating patterns and habits, which presents unique nutritional scenarios. If we stay on track by planning ahead though, and making intentional decisions about what we are eating, it is possible to stay steady with nutritious foods. I’d like to share a couple stories from a recent trip: what I think I did well on, and what I could have done better with and some suggestions should you ﬁ nd yourself in need. For part of our trip, we stayed in a house with my extended family. It was a blast, and we had some lovely meals that we prepared and ate together. Given all the people there though, there was a lot of food and beverages to choose from, or to be chosen by. One night the consensus was to order pizza- albeit really good pizza, I honestly did not want pizza (especially after lunch out at a brew pub). I volunteered to be in charge of a salad to go with the pizza — and a whopper of a salad I made, although it took some time and

required a trip to the store and the nearby farmers market. I intentionally included protein sources for salad toppings, such as tuna and garbanzo beans, so that it could serve as the main meal for those that didn’t want pizza. I was really happy that I made that salad happen; I didn’t have the pizza that night. There was so much salad that when Movers and we packed up our car the next day to drive Shakers across several states to get to our next destinaMegan Baumler tion, I packed up some of the salad and ate it for lunch on the road. Being on vacation is never a reason to forgo efforts towards healthful living, although it can become more challenging. I think of healthful living as being kind to yourself — why be less kind to yourself on vacation? Another night on this trip, we found ourselves in a very nice hotel that did not have a microwave in the room. The lack of a microwave meant I couldn’t have my oatmeal in the morning (I travel with oats), unless I purchased it elsewhere. We had to purchase meals, morning, noon and night for the several days that we were in this hotel (on top of eating out many meals on the way to our destination, and on the way

home). We did have some nice meals out, but I ended up going to a grocery store and choosing some foods to have in the minifridge at the hotel that could tide us over so that we only had to eat out one meal a day. This worked out well, and I wished I had thought of it the ﬁrst day. Yogurts for breakfast, and sushi, fruit and vegetables for lunch. My protein bars and nuts ﬁlled in for snack needs. When we made it back home from our trip, I was happier than I can ever recall to be reunited with my kitchen and have more control over my food choices. Sometimes though, food appears in my house that I did not bring home or choose and is extremely tempting. A good approach is to have a plan for when this occurs, rather than passively letting yourself be taken over by aromas and temptation that will be regretted later. Tonight, we walked in the door after an evening bike ride. While we were gone, my husband had come home and made a frozen pizza. It smelled good, and it looked good. I wasn’t even hungry, but I ate three pieces. I wouldn’t describe the feeling I have as regret, but more of “that wasn’t worth it, I didn’t need that and that was not an intentional choice.” Not to be misunderstood — I purchase frozen pizzas sometimes, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with choosing frozen pizzas on occasion for dinner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The point is that it was a passive move on my part to let temptation take over when I didn’t even really want the pizza. It was the end of the day, my guard was down, the salty tangy scent of the familiar comfort food appealed to som e reward center in my brain, and it just happened. I’d like to be in more control than that. The unfortunate fact is that the effort to make good choices almost has to be constant, because we are endlessly bombarded with tempting foods. Over time though, with a plan in place and with lots of practice, we can become better at being in control of our food choices and staying on track with nutritional balance, even in challenging situations. Let’s work together to make the best choices we can when we are inspired and on track, so that when we are challenged or in unique scenarios, an unintentional setback will not have a large effect or derail all efforts. I approach exercise with the same mentality — when I am able, I get my exercise in, so that when I’m in situations where I’m not able to be active, it is OK. Make room for these scenarios, but also have a plan in place to avoid them. Best wishes to you for your summer travels and healthful living!

POLITICAL BRIEF

Serve with Reading Corps

This year, as Emmet D. Williams Elementary students get ready to head back to school, I unfortunately will not be able to join them. I have loved working with children as a Minnesota Reading Corps tutor but will now be pursuing a job as an associate educator. I hope my story of service will inspire others to consider this life-changing opportunity. I was one of 1,000-plus Minnesota Reading Corps tutors serving in schools and early learning centers as part of this AmeriCorps service program. I saw children transform from shy, struggling students into confi dent learners. But many more need support. In fact, one in three Minnesota third-graders is not reading at grade level. I began serving four years ago because I wanted my students to be ready to head into kindergarten. There’s nothing like watching a child’s eyes light up when they begin to see their own progress. Students who struggled before Reading Corps are now some of the top readers in their class, with the confidence to raise their hand and engage in discussions. Reading Corps tutors work with kids in more than 700 schools across the state. Because of this individualized attention and encouragement, most students read at their grade level within one year. While serving, tutors earn a living allowance, a fi nancial award for education or student loans, health care, child care assistance benefits, and opportunities to grow professionally. Kids make incredible gains, but it changes the lives of tutors, too. I’m now working in the education field and was fi nally able to start paying off my college student loans thanks to Minnesota Reading Corps. As a former student of Emmet D. Williams, I would love to see their open positions fi lled so that the students continue to receive effective, much-needed support. I encourage anyone who is interested to visit www.minnesotareadingcorps.org to fi nd out more about the benefits and the independent research that shows the difference Reading Corps makes. I challenge you to discover if Reading Corps is right for you. Kristen Evanson Minnesota Reading Corps Tutor Emmet D. Williams Elementary

Save the Earth

I am a tween (with a lot of friends and family members) that is worried about Earth. My best friend and I found in a “Save the Earth” book that shows how about 50 football fields of the rainforest are getting cut down for their wood. Imagine how many animals are losing their home. That’s the problem these days — we don’t think about how our actions are affecting the animals and wildlife around us. I speak for my friends and family members when I say: people need to know about what they’re doing. The crazy thing is some of us don’t even realize what we’re doing wrong, such as littering the streets and roads and lakes. Believe it or not, our actions won’t soon be just affecting the ecosystem — it’ll be affecting us. The animals will mistake the trash for food and get sick and die. And if they don’t die, predators that eat it will get sick because of the trash that animal has been eating. So why not join the others on a journey to Save the Earth? Sammie Fuller Shoreview

Lawmaker’s response at gun law reform event refreshing This past Saturday, Rep. Randy Jessup attended a discussion put on by Moms Demand Action, which advocates for reform in our gun laws. I was surprised that Randy attended. Traditionally, the topic of gun control is not a welcome environment for Republicans. However, Randy refreshingly rose above the partisan divide to try and provide solutions. He mentioned that he was not a gun owner and this particular issue wasn’t one he was fully informed on, so he has been discussing the issue with many parties, including eight chief law enforcement offi cials. Randy highlighted the need for all parties to come together to try and fi nd common ground. I appreciate that he is taking the time to become informed on a contentious issue and is working to bring people together to fi nd actual solutions. Too often this topic devolves into partisan talking points, and it’s long past time that someone rises up to bring some common sense to a complicated issue. Karen Griffin Shoreview

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS

North Oaks • A Shadow Lane resident was surprised to learn he had fraudulent charges of $1,375 to his credit card on Aug. 8. Fraudulent charges like these are easily rectiﬁed if you call your card issuer right away. Check your online statements regularly.

• Deputies responding to a ﬁ reworks complaint on Aug. 1 at an apartment complex in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue learned that a male suspect on the scene had an outstanding felony predatory warrant out of Hennepin County. It was later determined that the suspect was violating an order for protection as the victims lived in that complex. The man was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on the warrant.

• Following a trafﬁc stop early in the afternoon of Aug. 10 at East Oaks and Pine roads, a 25-year-old Mounds View man was arrested for DACIPS and felony ﬁ fthdegree possession of a controlled substance. He was jailed, and an investigation continues.

New DWI law restricts off enders from ATVs, boats and snowmobiles A new law that went into effect Aug. 1 means people convicted of driving while intoxicated – regardless of the vehicle they’re driving – will lose their driver’s license and be prohibited from operating motor vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles, motorboats and snowmobiles. The state Legislature passed the law following the death of 8-year-old Alan Geisenkoetter Jr., who died in January after being struck by a snowmobile driven by a man whose driver’s license was revoked after multiple DWI offenses. Before the law change, people convicted of DWI in a highway-licensed vehicle still could legally operate ATVs, motorboats and snowmobiles. The

changes apply to violations that occur on or after Aug. 1. “We have zero tolerance for people who endanger themselves and other people by operating a motor vehicle or recreational vehicle while they’re intoxicated,” said Col. Rodmen Smith, director of the Minnesota DNR Enforcement Division. “This new law should send the message that drinking and driving – no matter what the vehicle – isn’t acceptable and the consequences are severe.” As an example, a person convicted of DWI in a motorboat, or who refuses testing for a motorboat DWI, would have their driver’s license suspended and be prohibited from operating ATVs, motorboats

SCOUTS: Transition begins for packs in early adopter program FROM PAGE 1

their communities informally participate in Scout activities in the past. Not only was the BSA’s announcement anticipated, it was welcomed. While girls were still allowed to participate in Scout activities, they did not officially earn awards, achievements and ranks. Celotta recalled one particular girl who did the same activities to earn an award as the pack’s official members but watched everyone else receive something “tangible” while she received nothing. “It didn’t make much sense to her or anybody else,” Celotta recalled. Now that girls can register as Cub Scouts, they can officially be awarded for their achievements. Yet welcoming girls in Scouts has not happened overnight. In fact, so far only 32 packs in the area, including Celotta’s, have welcomed girls under the early adopter program. The Northern Star Council, which administers to packs mostly in the Metro and central Minnesota, decided to not let all packs that chose to, welcome girls immediately. Instead, beginning this past March, the council allowed only packs that had applied to be “early adopter” packs welcome girls. What these packs learn about welcoming girls into their communities, the Council will apply when more packs welcome girls for the official 2018-2019 program year in order to make the introduction to the program the best it can be. In a sense, the early adopter program works like a transitional pilot program. The early adopter program will also be applied to Boy Scouts when that organization begins welcoming girls in February 2019 under the changed name “Scouts, BSA.” Meanwhile, the council’s marketing/communications director Kent York, said that even with this change, the Cub Scouts program will not undergo many other significant changes. For one, Scouts has always been a “family program.” Family members have always been invited to attend monthly meetings, events, volunteer opportunities and camps. With the door open, girls in a sense have always been involved in Scouts. The only difference now, York said, is that girls can participate, not just as family members tagging along, but as official card-carrying members of the program.

According to York, one reason why the BSA decided to allow girls to become official members is because families and leaders have wanted it for years. “You have to listen to what your families of your prospective members are telling you,” York said. “We’re trying to meet the needs of today’s families. “Families today are busier than ever it seems,” York explained. “They’re looking for a one-stop shop … to involve their son and daughter instead of running to two different places.” Families who haven’t been able to run their son and daughter to two different places have often brought their daughters to Cub Scout events anyway. This is how Ellie and Kaelyn, of Centerville and Lino Lakes respectively, got involved in Cub Scouts. Kaelyn’s mom, Mindy McLain, said that Kaelyn had wanted to be an official Scouts member from the very beginning. “When you’re watching your older brother do (Scouts) for years,” she explained, recalling what Kaelyn must have thought, “(you think to yourself), ‘when’s it my turn?’” Ellie’s mom, Leslie Russell, recalled that when Ellie went to a Scout camp with her younger brother several years ago, she “got hooked” on the activities he did and had been involved in Scout activities ever since. Both girls enjoy Scouts because its emphasis on outdoor adventures and camping already appeals to their interests. McLain described her daughter as a “rough-and-tumble” kind of girl while Ellie herself said that she enjoys “getting her hands dirty and interacting with things.” The girls tried Girl Scouts when they were younger. While both their mothers noted that Girl Scouts is a good program with good leadership, fun activities and a welcoming environment, the program simply wasn’t for their daughters. “There’s Scouting for everyone,” McLain said, who noted that there are other Scouting organizations in the metro area besides Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts. Eight-year-old Kaelyn was registered when Pack 692 became an early adopter in March. Since then she has earned both the Bobcat and Wolf ranks. Tenyear-old Ellie will register in the fall but already has her own uniform and has been welcomed into Pack 432 by Peterson. This fall she will continue working on earning her Arrow of Light rank. In the midst of this change, Cubmaster Craig Flor of Pack 212 in Vadnais Heights said nothing

“earth-shattering” is happening, especially with regard to girls joining his own early adopter pack. “They’re just kids, we’re all doing the same thing and having a good time,” he said. The Northern Star Council website is now open for registration by both girls and boys. Families can also register for packs that only include boys. On Sept. 20, elementary schools throughout the region will hold an open house to help families register their child for Scouts.

SOLAR: Interest growing in capturing sun’s energy for residential use FROM PAGE 1

YOU SHOULD KNOW:

installed on their house. The solar co-op process takes around eight months to complete, which gives community members a chance to listen and learn before deciding if going solar is something they want. In order to convert to solar power, the home and property has to be fit to be solar. The solar system has to be facing south and needs enough space to fit on the roof (or wherever the panels are installed) in a shadeless area. “We want to move away from fossil fuels and go to more renewable energy in our community,” noted Mahtomedi councilman and solar proponent Jeff Ledermann. He is helping lead the effort to expand the use of solar energy in the area. Celia and Ron Wirth wanted to go solar 15 years ago in their home in Grant. What the Wirths wanted, however, they could not quite afford. The $75,000 needed to go off the grid and create their own solar energy by storing it in a battery made for an expensive investment back then. Today, the Wirths have a solar array in the backyard of their 8.25-acre property for which a $25,000 tax credit was able to cover half the cost. The Wirths spend zero on their electricity bill and get 10 percent back from the power company because they generate 110 percent of what they use in their home. They installed the system about a year ago. The Wirths did not go off the grid and use a battery. Instead, they are on the grid with Xcel Energy. “There were no frustrations in installing; the people were fast, efficient and friendly,” Celia Wirth said. When thinking about whether or not to invest in a solar system, the tax credit can be a major factor in the decision. Xcel Energy offers a tax credit of 30 percent off the initial installation of a solar system. A person signing up with the Solar United Neighbors co-op is already getting a discount because of the bulk purchasing power. There is also a $0.08 per kilowatt-hour production reward. Xcel Energy will pay $0.08 per kw/ hr for the solar system’s first 10 years. Solar United Neighbors projected that since the average solar system is 7kw, the check for the production reward would be about $650 a year. “The tax credits are huge incentives for people on the fence to finally go solar,” Rutter said. “It draws a lot of interest, too.” The expenses in a solar system are not charged by how many panels are in an array, but by how many watts per hour the array produces. The Minnesota average cost is $3.75 per watt. The smallest solar arrays produce 2kw and the largest produce 12kw. Using the average Minnesota cost of $3.75 per watt, Solar

For more on the solar co-op, visit www. solarunitedneighbors.org/mahtomedi and click on the “join our co-op” button. Interested neighbors can get a no obligation initial assessment to see if their property has potential for a solar energy system.

United Neighbors estimated sample costs for both cash and loan purchases for solar systems. The size of the profi t depends on how much the solar system produces; however, bigger systems clearly cost more. Now, what if the power goes out? Just because a home uses solar does not mean that the home avoids power outages if it is on the grid. Being on the grid means if the grid goes out, so does the power. To avoid going dark when the power goes out, solar users can install a backup battery. The backup battery stores surplus electricity, which keeps the lights on when the neighborhood goes dark. The drawback to the backup battery is cost. It costs around $9,000 to install a backup battery for storage, more than a third of the price of a solar array installation. “It just does not make sense to really go off the grid when you live in the cities,” said Efrain Santiago, a White Bear Lake resident and solar user. “I can see getting solar up at your cabin in the middle of nowhere, but not in the cities.” Santiago installed a 3kw, 12-panel solar system on his home two years ago. He remembers when he first bought his home, the sun would beat down on his property. “I remember thinking to myself, ‘Wow this house has a lot of sun,’” Santiago said. A few years before Santiago installed his solar system, he visited Southeast Asia and saw solar panels all over the place. “Going solar had always been an attractive thing for me,” he said. “After going to Southeast Asia, I wanted to get solar panels on my home.” The problems the Santiagos and the Wirths have faced with their solar system have been minimal. Besides huge snowfalls, trimming trees and making sure the solar arrays are not an eyesore for neighbors, choosing to convert to solar has saved both families a lot of money on their electric bills and earned rewards back from Xcel Energy. Both families say they could not be happier with their decision to change up their power source. They also believe the solar system has added value to their homes. Because Solar United Neighbors is forming a co-op in the area, there are opportunities to install more solar systems in Mahtomedi and White Bear. The benefits are not limited to residents of Mahtomedi, either. Solar United Neighbors hopes to get 30

residents from the surrounding areas to make the co-op complete. “The long-term vision is to get the ma-

Animal haven: San Diego’s rare species speak for the wild BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

The white rhinos were snoozing with eyes open just a crack, as if peering for attention from yet another tram of humans at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park July 29. The six female southern white rhinos are preparing to be surrogate mothers to save the northern white rhino from extinction, tour guide Ebony White-Simmons said. Due to poaching and other human activity, there are only two northern white rhinos left in the world — and they are females. They live at a conservancy in Kenya. The San Diego Zoo has northern white rhino cell lines in its Frozen Zoo that it hopes to use to develop stem cells and in turn, sperm and oocytes. The hope is that embryos would be implanted in the female southern white rhinos at the Safari Park, who would give birth to northern white rhinos. Researchers are currently developing assisted reproductive technologies for the rhinos, including artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Every day, three to six rhinos are poached, which is what makes the work at the zoo so important, White-Simmons noted. “We are a safe haven — a second chance at life for these animals,” she said. The southern white rhino is also listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). There are about 20,000 of them; they live in southern Africa. The northern white rhino’s range used to be in northern Africa. The Safari Park was opened 35 miles northeast of the main zoo in the ‘70s to provide a more spacious place for roaming, propagation and research to end extinction of vulnerable species. The goal is to reintroduce species into the wild when possible.

Happy birthday, dear panda

The Giant Panda Research Station at the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park aims to learn about the endangered bears and create awareness about the plight of their species. Since 1996, the zoo has had an agreement with China to house two adult pandas and their offspring, to conduct conservation research. Some of the pandas have been returned to their native home in China over the years. One of the most wellknown pandas born in captivity, Hua Mei, has given birth to 10 cubs, including three sets of twins, since she was returned to a reserve in China in 2004. Two pandas can currently be viewed by visitors at the zoo: Bai Yun, a mother of six pandas, and her son Xiao Liwu (aka “Mr. Wu”), who just celebrated his sixth birthday July 29. Zoo staff put on a conservation-themed enrichment party for him. Mr. Wu enjoyed bamboo-bread cupcakes and panda party

bags filled with treats. His habitat was decorated with papier mache lanterns with conservation messages. Mr. Wu and other animals at the San Diego Zoo regularly receive special enrichment activities to keep them active and stimulated. Giant Pandas have seen a recent boost in their conservation status. The IUCN upgraded the giant panda from endangered to vulnerable status in 2016. However, the majority of an estimated 2,000 giant pandas living in the wild are adults, according to the zoo.

New orca encounter at SeaWorld

SeaWorld San Diego is the first to introduce a new orca encounter that will be replacing its theatrical orca shows at the other SeaWorld locations in 2019. The goal is to educate attendees on orca whales and promote conservation. There are 10 known ecotypes of orca whales across the world. During the show, trained orcas display movements they would use in the wild for hunting, playing and traveling. Orcas are the ocean’s top predator; they can even take down the blue whale — 50 times heavier — because they work together as a pod. SeaWorld conducts research with its whales to learn about their wild counterparts. An ongoing study monitors heart rate and breathing to understand how noise pollution may affect wild whales. The whales’ milk composition has been studied to learn how toxins in the ocean could be impacting wild whales’ milk. Orca whales, in general, are not on the list of endangered species but the U.S. West Coast population is endangered. The southern resident orca whale community that can be seen off the coasts of Oregon and Washington has dwindled down to 75. A loss of food — primarily salmon — has led to the group’s demise. One of the pods attracted international attention this month: a mother whose newborn calf died shortly after birth had, at last report at press time, carried around her deceased baby for more than two weeks, presumably in a state of grief. The pod has not had a successful birth in three years. SeaWorld has pledged $10 million to fund orca research and conservation efforts through the Killer Whale Research and Conservation Program. SeaWorld ended its killer whale breeding program in 2016 since the

Lifelong water skier enjoys career highlight, 3rd place at nationals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Controlling your body while skipping over water at high speed, like a wellthrown flat rock, is the essence of Joe Bester’s favorite sport. “In sports like football, baseball or basketball,” Bester assessed, “the ball is the object, where one attempts to master control over Joe Bester the trajectory of the object. “In water skiing, you are the object.” With the combination of good coaching and practice, he said, you “can control your trajectory enough to successfully navigate through a slalom course.” The Shoreview resident controlled his trajectory well enough to place third at nationals on Aug. 7 in Maize, Kansas. He was one of 45 competitors in the age 60-64 (Men 6) slalom event in the Goode Water Ski National Championships. “I’ve been in the top 10 percent at nationals before, but I never made it to the podium until 2018,” said an elated Bester, who has competed about 20 times, starting in 1992. Bester qualified by winning at regionals on July 27 in Wilmington, Illinois, also a fi rst. (Top five qualify.) He’s placed fi rst several times at the state level. The national meet, which had 720 competitors this year, ranging in age from age 6 to 91, has been held since 1939 with the exception of a few years doing World War II.

ANDY WALZ | SUBMITTED

Joe Bester is shown here in action at this year’s national meet on his way to his first-ever podium finish for third place.

The slalom is judged by the cumulative number of buoys that the skier successfully rounds, through a course of six alternating buoys. “The skier that successfully rounds the greatest number of buoys with the shortest rope wins,” he explained. His score at nationals was three buoys at 38 off the standard rope length of 75 feet. At 38 off, the rope length is 6 inches shorter than the distance from the boat center path to the buoy. For context, the male world record is three buoys at 43 off (five feet shorter than the distance from the boat path to the buoy) and the female record is four

To reduce injury risk, he engages in several other sports as cross training, including biking, swimming, roller blading, and wind surfing during the warm months, and cross country skiing, tennis and racquetball in the winter. Water skiing has become increasingly technical, like most sports, Bester observed. “However, at its core, it is a sensation of free and creative expression as one moves from side to side.”

buoys at 41 off (3 1/2 feet shorter than that distance). The boat speed for Men 6 is 34 mph. For men’s professional division, it’s 36 mph and for women’s it’s 34 mph. The native of Marquette, Michigan, got started at age 13, using his brother Bruce’s boat while Bruce was away in Vietnam in 1968-69. His brother made it back home “safe and sound” and remains an active skier, Joe said. The sport, which originated, he noted, in Minnesota at Lake Pepin in 1922, also lends itself to “great fellowship with family and friends.” Bester, who works in technical sales

New Mustangs New Mustang swimming coach soccer coach grew up in program former pro goalie Joe Warren, a renowned soccer goalie in the college and pro ranks in Minnesota, is the new head coach of the Mounds View Mustangs boys team, announced Jim Galvin, activities director. Warren posted 22 shutouts during his collegiate career at St. Thomas, where he also starred in track and played baseball and football. He was named to the Tommies’ Hall of Fame in 2007. Joe Warren Warren then played 13 professional seasons over a 17-year period with the Minnesota Thunder and Minnesota Stars, helping the latter win the 2012 NASL championship in his fi nal season. A physical education teacher in the Mounds View district, Warren has been assisting in college soccer programs in recent years. He succeeds Chris Scanlon, who resigned. Bruce Strand

Chris Yauch, the new boys and girls swimming head coach at Mounds View High School (MVHS), is very familiar with the Mustang program. A former MVHS swimmer himself, Yauch was an assistant for 13 seasons under Stephen Brauer, who resigned after the last school year. Yauch also coaches with North Suburban Aquatic Club. The Mustang program “values both strength and honor” since his own high school days, Yauch said. “I am honored to have been chosen as head coach for this program, and very excited to work with the swimmers to challenge them and help them grow as swimmers and as people,” he stated. The 2002 graduate helped Mounds View

place second and fourth in state meets and capture three section championships. His assistant will be Amanda Donley, an Irondale High School and University of Minnesota graduate who has coached club teams. His diving coach

will be Brenda Bebeau, who was an assistant on the Centennial staff last year. Yauch, whose field is physics, will be a student teacher in the fall. Bruce Strand

State Fair chapel has new outdoor stage BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

New at Crossroads Chapel this year is an outdoor stage. The new stage makes the family-friendly entertainment more accessible to passersby, said longtime volunteer and board member Terry Schuveiller, of White Bear Lake. Musicians and entertainers will perform at 1, 3:30 and 5 p.m. each day. An illusionist will perform in between and a theater group will perform in the evenings. Church services will be held inside at 7:45, 9:30 and 11 a.m. Aug. 26 and Sept. 2. Another new feature of the chapel this year is an authentic cross with nails and a crown of thorns to better depict Christ's sacrifice, Schuveiller said. The cross is inside the chapel where church services are held. Besides worship services and entertainment, the chapel offers drop-in prayer, free Bibles and children's cross necklace crafts, Schuveiller said. Chapel volunteers deliver 350 welcome bags to traveling carnival staff each year.

SUBMITTED

Crossroads Chapel today.

Crossroads Chapel in 1962.

The nondenominational chapel is supported by many Minnesota churches, ministries and businesses. Churches send donations and volunteers to staff the chapel for the 12 days of the fair and a summer car show, including Living Faith Church in Circle Pines, Rockpoint Church in Lake Elmo and Redeeming Love Church in Maplewood. Schuveiller attends Living Faith Church. He has volunteered for the chapel a total

of 10 years and been on the board for six years. Also on the board from the northeast metro is Michael Peterson, of Stillwater. The chapel is always looking for more churches, ministries and businesses to get involved. Its goal is to buy a furnace and air conditioning unit in order to use the chapel year-round, Schuveiller said. This year, the chapel met a big financial goal — it paid off its mortgage. The chapel oper-

ates on about $60,000 and has two part-time staff. Crossroads Chapel has been part of the State Fair since 1954. It started out in a tent and moved to a small building in 1962. The chapel was located in a Quonset hut from 1986 to 2011. The new location it purchased is next to the Kidway, at 1362 Underwood Street, 1/2 block north of Dan Patch Avenue. For a schedule of events, visit chapelatthefair.com.

IF YOU GO: Sara Renner, d director off contemporary worship at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi, will perform gospel and jazz music at the Crossroads Chapel at the Fair at 1, 3:30 and 5 p.m. Monday. Aug. 27.

Going to the State Fair?Here are some safety tips: Comfort ﬁ rst. Leave your high heels and nice clothing at home and settle for comfortable and loose fitting clothing, as well as supportive shoes. It is also a smart idea to pass on wearing valuable jewelry in case you lose it while walking around or on a ride. Prevention is key. Hydrate before, during and after your fair excursion to avoid dehydration and limit your consumption of sugary and alcoholic beverages, which can have the opposite effect. Make sure to apply sunscreen before heading to the fair as well as continue to apply it while you’re there. Even on a cloudy day attendees can get sunburn. Establish a home base. Upon entering the fairgrounds, scope out where the first-aid and emergency stations are located as well as establish a meet up spot in case your group gets separated. Do a little research. Usually fairs utilize one company for providing the rides. Do a quick Google

search on the company and check their history for any safety concerns. Take a picture. If you are attending the fair with children it is recommended to snap a picture of them before leaving the house so that you can instantly recall what they were wearing that day. Stay alert. With a large number of people in one

area it is important to be on alert and stay aware of your surroundings. Pickpockets are everywhere so keep purses closed and stash items in front pockets. If you notice someone acting suspiciously let a supervisor or police offi cer know.

The faces of wetlands:Great egrets

NICK VOSS | SUBMITTED

The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization does a series on creatures and plants in the watershed, including one on egrets. A member of the heron family, the white bird is a common wetland inhabitant.

This common member of the heron family is easily spotted along lake shores or ﬂ ying above wetlands. With a dash of bright white and a slow but powerful

wing beat, seeing egrets brings a sense of serenity. Folklore and myth from Egyptian, Celtic, and Native American traditions associate egrets with harmony,

balance, diplomacy, patience, and purity. When water in ancient times was closely tied to food and well-being, it makes sense that people would pay close attention to

the animals of marshes, rivers, and lakes. These observations brought inspiration and taught us how to adapt to challenges. The same theme ex-

tends to our present day here in North America, but with a modern twist. In the late 19th century, the fashion industry prized egrets. Hats adorned with egret feathers were highly sought for their elegance and striking appeal. A top-of-the-line hat would feature the long plumes that grow from the male egret’s back during the breeding season. As the market sold feathers throughout the United States and even Europe, hunters decimated about 95 percent of their population. For the fashion industry, it was a lesson in balance learned the hard way. For wildlife enthusiasts, it was a lesson in how to balance natural resources before a near extinction. The Audubon Society was founded in 1905 to protect birds like the Great Egret from being killed for its feathers, which is why a Great Egret is their symbol to this day. Continuing the effort, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 granted protection to bird feathers, eggs, and nests to over 800 species of non-game birds. Similar to Blue Herons, Great Egrets

nest communally in trees and shrubs along marshes and shallow lakes. Nests can be up to 3 feet across and 1 foot deep. They’re started by the male before pairing with a female, and if the courtship display goes well, the female may join in to help complete the nest. Baby egrets can be aggressive and sometimes harm or even kill each other in competition for food, but this instinct also serves to ward off predators. The Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) watershed with its shallow lakes and wetlands has lots of habitat for egrets. Our marshes are great for hunting fi sh, amphibians, reptiles, snails, small mammals, and invertebrates such as dragonflies. With their long legs and tall, slender neck, egrets can hunt in water as deep as their belly. They slowly wade or stay still until prey wanders into striking range. While ancient folklore may no longer be our focus, there’s still something inspiring about Great Egrets. Spotting one traversing a wetland with its sturdy legs, bright feathers, and expert sense of balance is a nice personal reminder to be patient, seek balance, and adapt to new challenges that always have a way of popping up. Sometimes these small, everyday reminders are the most powerful way to find harmony. Considering the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the efforts made for bird protection, this harmony applies to humans and egrets alike. Here in VLAWMO, Great Egrets can be found on just about any lakeshore. But for the best chances of spotting one, check out the Rotary Park Nature Preserve near Birch Lake, Tamarack Nature Center, or West Vadnais Lake off of the Vadnais/Sucker Lake walking path.
