School year starts off with a beat
Shoreview makes it official with the bees BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR
SARA MARIE MOORE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
SHOREVIEW — The city was declared a pollinator-friendly city by the City Council last month — endorsing pollinator protection and promoting pollinator habitat. Pollinators include bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, bird and bats, said Public Works Director Mark Maloney at a City Council meeting Sept. 17. About 80 percent of flowering plants rely on animal pollination, he added, citing U.S. government statistics. Pollinators add a $24 billion value to the U.S. economy. “A lot of the food that is grown requires pollinators,” Maloney said. About 30 percent of the country’s bee colonies have been lost over the last 12 years. “There are sharp declines in native pollinator populations,” Maloney said. The Shoreview Environmental Quality Committee has been looking at what the city can do to support pollinators over the last couple years. The city already avoids the use of pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, which can kill pollinators. It plans

The Wave Cafe area was renovated to include more seating and a more modern look.
SHOREVIEW — Besides the new pool area, most of the renovations and additions to the Shoreview Community Center have been completed. The Tropical Adventures indoor playground reopened to the public last month. It about doubled in size with a new area geared for younger children, said Alisha Seifert, city communications coordinator. There is a new treehouse, climbing wall, bouncers, slides, giant ball pit, foam blocks and birthday party area. The parent seating area is also four times bigger, she noted.

beck brought her 2-, 4- and 6-year-old to the playground a few days after it reopened Sept. 21. She has been a community center member for five years. “Our big kids always had a blast, but the toddler section was small,” she remembered while watching from the parent seating area. “My 2-yearold can be more adventurous but still age-appropriate. … We will be here a lot.” The playground has a new entrance in the new addition in the northwest portion of the community center, in the lower level. The former entrance was through a busy gymnasium. SEE COMMUNITY CENTER, PAGE 9

Privy diggers uncover backyard treasures BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR PINE CITY PIONEER
Mark Youngblood and Brian Mann have been digging for treasure across Minnesota and Wisconsin, but the prizes they seek are in spots few might think to look. “I dig outhouse pits, mainly,” Youngblood said. “Old ones, where the smell is gone, of course. The stuff has decomposed.” Outhouse pits were often used as a garbage dump for turn-of-the-century families. Now that the organic material has decayed, privy-diggers like Youngblood can find a remarkable array of old glassware and other historical items buried in the old pits. “Dentures, phones, glass breast pumps, pottery, doll heads, porcelain signs, marbles, kids toys, plate glass,” Youngblood said. “It’s just endless. We did a dig in Rockport, Minnesota. We found glass negatives, there was a bunch of them in the pit. There were bones, there was depression glass.” Youngblood said the roots of his avocation can be found in a hobby that started in the 1970s: collecting beer cans. “It was a big fad,” said the White Bear Lake archaeologist. “I’d go out into the woods and construction sites and county roads. Places where people would party and do whatever they were going to do. They’d throw their beer cans in the woods and I’d go look for them.” He began exploring resort dumps. He often found that other collectors had brought home the best beer cans already – but they tended to leave something else behind. “Some people didn’t pick the bottles,” Youngblood said. “I was finding cool soda bottles from the 1930s
Lakeshore Players Theatre
and 1940s in these spots. So I just decided ... I’m going to collect bottles.” Lots and pits Youngblood said he started seeking out lots that had a good potential to have old privy pits on them, and asking the property owners for permission to dig. “I prefer city lots,” he said. “On a farm you can put the privy anywhere. On the city lot you can put it in only so many places – you have a better chance of hitting them. And I look for a house, or a spot that held a house. I’ve just got to know that there was a house there around 1910 or earlier and I can find the outhouse pit.” He partnered up with friend Brian Mann, and the duo developed their own tools for exploring possible pits. “We use spring-steel rods about a quarter-inch in diameter, and we poke the ground,” Youngblood explained. “With the probe I can tell the differences in the ground. I can tell if it has been disturbed. I can’t tell you when it has been disturbed, or what’s down there, but I can tell if it has been disturbed.” Buried treasures Youngblood and Mann carefully cut the sod and dig into the ground, making sure both sod and dirt stay on tarps they’ve laid out. Around six or seven feet down things get interesting. Not every pit is full of old glassware and other items, but they often get lucky. “Some pits are loaded,” Youngblood said. “On Wednesday I went to this spot. At about the six-foot level the glass started coming up left and right. An unbelievable amount of glass.” Some of the bottles and other items Youngblood and Mann keep for themselves, others they save for the homeowner. “We’ll donate to the historical society if there’s someone around who wants to take it [to them],”
Kids & Family Series
he said. “If it’s nothing anyone wants it gets reinterred. We just throw it back in the hole.” He said they always try to leave the site just as they found it. Once, a homeowner told them he couldn’t even find where they had been digging in his yard. Youngblood said he and Mann plan to keep probing, digging and uncovering treasures for as long as they can – just as long as they keep discovering new sites worth exploring. “The experience of a dig is quite interesting,” he said. “It has been a great hobby.” Youngblood said they are always on the lookout for lots to dig in, and noted that they will share whatever they find with the homeowner. Anyone with a town or city lot which had a home on it in 1910 or earlier is invited to contact Youngblood at myoung6766@aol.com.

Puppy miracle
M
y summer was not fun. In addition to being sick for pretty much all of it, my corgi puppy, named Twinkie, had to undergo heart surgery. It all started back in July when we brought Twinkie to the vet for a little scrape on her foot. Although we were told the scrape was nothing, we were also told she had a heart murmur (which was news to us). After getting a second opinion, it was confi rmed. We made an appointment with a canine cardiologist. She was diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), a congenital heart defect that was causing too much blood to flow into the Out and left side of her heart. We were told she would need to undergo a About surgery to put in a small device Shannon to stop the blood from flowing where it shouldn’t. If she didn’t Granholm do the surgery, she would likely only live another year or two and die from congestive heart failure. In addition to already paying well over $600 to see the cardiologist, we were also given estimates for the surgery that ranged from $2,500$4,500. That number was pretty hard to swallow, especially with a journalist’s salary. Since I don’t have children, my dogs are my children. So needless to say, we went forward with the surgery, which happened Aug. 22. Thankfully, my co-worker Sara Marie Moore and her hedgehog Ginger quickly sprung into action and started a GoFundMe page to help with Twinkie’s medical bills. With the recent news of the couple in Philadelphia who raised $400K for a homeless veteran through GoFundMe and never turned over the money to him, I was extremely nervous that people wouldn’t be comfortable donating. Despite my fears, immediately donations starting pouring in from co-workers, family members, friends and complete strangers. We were absolutely blown away by the generosity of not only the people we knew, but all the people we didn’t. In Twinkie’s short little life, she had touched a lot of lives, both in person and online through my own personal pictures on Facebook and her Instagram @frosty_and_baby_ twinkie (yes, my dogs have an Instagram). Twinkie’s followers, many of whom live in other states and countries, not only donated to her GoFundMe, but also mailed cards, sent her a handmade blanket and new toys. One corgi owner set up a raffle to raise money for the cause. A 12-year-old girl even went as far as dedicating her birthday to Twinkie. Instead of asking for presents, she asked for donations for Twinkie, whom she had only met once. Because of Twinkie’s connections, a nonprofit organization called Bandit’s Bandaid got wind of Twinkie’s story and agreed to be with us every step of the way, both financially and for support. Thanks to all of the support from friends and strangers alike, my husband and I were able to focus on Twinkie and what is most important— getting her back to her normal, spunky self and giving her the long, healthy life she deserves. Not having to worry about the fi nancial side of things was such a relief during an already stressful time. From the bottom of my heart, and Twinkie’s fi xed heart, I want to thank every person who sent prayers and felt this was a worthy cause to contribute to. Twinkie is now free to run laps around the house (what we call the Corgi 500), run up and down the stairs over and over again and play with her sister Frosty and all of her corgi friends.

From sunburned to burned out
he school year has begun and summer break is officially over. For many, getting back into a routine and setting goals for the coming months feels like a healthy next step after a restorative summer of sun, fun and vacation. But if we’re not careful, we can easily go from sunburned to burned-out in a matter of weeks. We live in a culture that often valMovers and ues busyness over and excess Shakers rest, over restraint. Jerry Hromatka How often have we caught ourselves boasting about how productive we can be on just a few hours of sleep, or sheepishly admitting that we “wasted” a weekend doing absolutely nothing? Research shows that ignoring our need for rest and relaxation not only harms ourselves, but the people around us as well. Our children not only watch how we deal with stress, they learn from our example. According to the American Psychological Association, teens are becoming as stressed out as the adults in their lives. And during the school year, they sometimes report even higher levels of stress than their parents. At Northeast Youth & Family Services (NYFS), we see youth coming to us for help dealing with stress at younger and younger
ages. The pressure to do it all: get good grades, take advanced classes, participate in a sport or extra-curricular activity and get a job can overwhelm a youth who is already doing the hard work of navigating adolescence. NYFS Outpatient Mental Health Director Rachel Cain says that while stress is a natural part of life, it shouldn’t be viewed as an insurmountable problem. Stress is the net effect of mustering the resources necessary to respond to stressors in our lives. The skills we learn and fortitude we gain when we respond to stressors is necessary for personal, academic and professional growth. It becomes a problem when we lack the resources to effectively manage stress or when we are under too much stress for too long. She adds that parents need to regularly check in with themselves, and with their children, to determine what is a manageable level of stress and what is too much. Cain says to be aware that younger children might not have the words to fully express their feelings – but their bodies often tell the tale for them. Kids who are prone to stomach aches before school, lose their appetite frequently or have trouble sleeping may be exhibiting signs of too much stress in their life. Adults may have similar symptoms and can experience a rapid heartbeat, chest pain, fatigue, headaches or muscle tension in the upper back, shoulders and
neck. They may also fi nd themselves snapping at loved ones over small issues or isolating themselves from friends and family. Some stress from things like job loss or a long illness, cannot be avoided. But it can be lessened through intentional self-care such as setting a fi rm time each day to stop working, going to bed at a reasonable hour, eating healthy meals and scheduling time for fun with family and friends. Physical exercise, meditation and massage can also help. Cain adds that we have more control over stressors than we realize. Canceling a volunteer commitment or dropping a class will not cause an organization to fail, or keep a student from succeeding in life. Recognizing and addressing stress is not a failure, but a recognition that our minds and bodies need consistent care if we are to perform at our best. In the long term, rest and moderation are much more productive than burnout. Life is a marathon, not a sprint; we need to be at our best for the long haul. So now that summer is over and we may not have as many easy opportunities for rest and relaxation, take a few minutes to consider how you can build in some intentional downtime for yourself or loved ones. Jerry Hromatka is executive director of Northeast Youth and Family Services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR All children deserve preschool Unveiling his Day 1 Academies Fund plan in which Jeff Bezos will fund nonprofit preschools, Bezos announces his intended relationship between the country’s children and education: "The child will be the customer." However, if we refer to philosopher Immanuel Kant, he argues and reminds us to treat humans as rational agents. Rational agents who have reasoning, dreams, hopes, desires, etc. Not customers. As ends, not as means. All children deserve preschool, and all parents deserve child care, if they are willing, and whether or not they are able. A solid education and development are foundational to being a contributing member of a society, recognized historically as a person, and recognized by some as a citizen. A just society is composed of free and equal citizens, and you cannot be free unless you understand the forces that oppress you and understand that you have the power to speak truths and make valid claims without the consent of a higher authority. All of us collectively under a fair and cooperative society are able to provide pre-K for all members. Unless Bezos can provide these for everyone, this is not the best solution. We need system change, not charity. Charity is really the surplus value exploited from employees and given back to a few of them as handouts, when it really belongs to the workers and to the members of society. Remember the Amazon workers when they go on strike, and consider what is justice? Hannah Lindstrom Shoreview

As an advocate for health care coverage for all, Kelly Moller recognizes how health care is a human right; we can’t live without it. Me and mine are voting for Kelly Moller. I hope you do too. Carol Gariano Shoreview
Rep. Randy Jessup advocates for seniors I am a senior citizen who has lived in Shoreview for 25 years. Like many of you, I was appalled to read the Star Tribune’s multipart story earlier this year that revealed rampant abuse at nursing homes and elder care centers across Minnesota. The reporting showed that complaints of abuse were not being properly investigated by the Department of Human Services. Thankfully, our representative, Randy Jessup, is working hard to protect vulnerable adults and the elderly in Minnesota. This past session, he was a leader in helping pass legislation that enhances protections and reporting processes for elders who are suffering from abuse at care facilities. Along with these protections, Randy helped pass a bipartisan bill that helps protect seniors from financial fraud and exploitation. And beyond that, he has been a strong advocate of legislation that would let seniors keep more of their Social Security income by eliminating the state’s income tax on Social Security benefits. Last year Randy helped secure passage of a bill that reduces Social Security taxes for more than 250,000 Minnesota seniors. Clearly, Randy has gone to bat for seniors. He has demonstrated time and again that he's committed to our personal and fi nancial well-being. That’s why I urge you to support him this fall. He is the proven leader who will best represent our community. Bob McDonald Shoreview
Two outstanding North Oaks council candidates Having watched the City Council meetings and candidates’ night, I am convinced that there are
two outstanding candidates for North Oaks City Council. Both are incumbents. They are Sara Shah and Katie Ross. They demonstrate current problems and solutions. They are prepared, knowledgeable and will continue to represent all residents of North Oaks. Join our family and vote for Sara and Katie. Dick Leonard North Oaks
Minnesotans do agree on commonsense gun laws We have seen a few letters about firearms recently, including one suggesting that the Democratic Party is in favor of disarming gun owners and repealing the Second Amendment. It is worth noting that this amendment starts out with the words “A well-regulated Militia….” Some commonsense regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment. A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of Everytown for Gun Safety Action reports that 89 percent of Minnesotans—including 89 percent of gun owners—support universal background checks for gun buyers. Another commonsense measure that is proven to reduce gun violence—including suicides—is “Red Flag” legislation. A court order would permit law enforcement to temporarily keep guns out of the hands of people who are likely to do harm to others or themselves. The court order provides plenty of due process that gun advocates seek to protect their Second Amendment rights. Some weeks ago, another letter to the editor praised state Rep. Randy Jessup for authoring a bill on school safety because “both sides of the gun debate seemingly [are] unwilling to give an inch.” No one is against making our schools safe. But we have an expectation to be safe from gun violence in our movie theaters, churches, libraries and malls. If we hope to achieve legislation which will improve gun safety, we will need different leadership, which means we need a different representative. Kelly Moller has been a prosecutor for Hennepin County who goes toe-to-toe with some pretty violent people. She has fought for victims’ rights by helping pass updates to our hit-and-run laws. She is not going to wait around for compromise to just show up one day. She is going to get it done. John Hunt Shoreview
Kelly Moller for labor I was surprised to see a letter writer suggest that state Rep. Randy Jessup is a friend to labor just because two labor unions have endorsed him. His 11 percent voting record on the AFL-CIO’s 2017 legislative scorecard tells a more accurate story. As happened in Wisconsin and Iowa, if Jessup’s party is given the chance, you can bet they will attack collective bargaining rights in Minnesota and median household incomes will go down. Kelly Moller, challenger for state representative, is endorsed by the AFL-CIO, the Minnesota Association of Public Employees, Education Minnesota, the Minnesota Nurses Association, SEIU, AFSCME and the Teamsters. These organizations fight for middle-class workers and know who is really going to support them. That’s just one reason I’m supporting Kelly Moller. Sharon Coombs Shoreview
stituents’ dollars and cents along with the environment. Susan Murphy Shoreview
Jessup not education advocate Mr. Ben Schwanke asserted that Rep. Randy Jessup is “a strong advocate for education” in a letter to the editor Sept. 18. The American Medical Association recently published a study showing that mass shootings, involving assault weapons rather than conventional hunting weapons, result in twice as many deaths. There are more wounded as well (Star Tribune, 9/12/18). Rep. Randy “poor, poor ignorant me” Jessup refuses to support any bill outlawing assault rifles, bump stocks or high-capacity magazines. He has told me so. State aid to education hasn’t kept up with inflation for years. Inflation-adjusted, per-pupil state aid dropped by 18 percent between 2003 and 2012. Ninety-three percent of districts receive less per-pupil aid today than they did in 2003 (Star Tribune, 9/25/18). The Legislature and the governor couldn’t agree on extra aid for school districts facing major budget shortfalls for this school year. This means that a lot of districts are facing bigger class sizes, fewer teachers and restricted education opportunities. If Rep. Jessup “pushed for more funding for Mounds View Public Schools,” he surely wasn’t very successful. If Mr. Schwanke truly believes that Rep. Jessup is a strong advocate for education, then he probably also believes in leprechauns and tooth fairies. Greg Gross Shoreview
Redistricting could have big effect Most voters are aware redistricting will occur after the 2020 Census, but many don’t appreciate the critical role the 2018 elections play in determining if the new election maps will be fair, so every vote matters. The governor elected in 2018 will have the power to approve or veto any redistricting plan sent to him by the Legislature. The newly elected legislators and governor could also act to change the redistricting process to ensure maps are not drawn to benefit a party or incumbent, i.e. gerrymandered. Gerrymandering has been done by both parties since our country was founded but new technology has made it a lot easier. Voters should pay close attention to candidates’ statements about redistricting. Do they place a value on representative government? House candidates for District 38B, Patti Anderson (R) and Ami Wazlawik (D), debated this issue at a recent candidate forum when they were asked the question: Given that the courts have redrawn the maps in the last four decades because the Legislature and the governor would not agree, what would the candidate do to change the process of redistricting? Anderson opposes the alternative of a “citizen panel” drawing the maps — “too political.” Ultimately, she decided she would change nothing and trust the courts to handle it. Why did she ignore the real possibility there won’t be divided government when the maps are made? Hasn’t she read about the SEE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, PAGE 8
Choose Jessup on environment This letter is in response to Ken Cramer’s letter titled “Choose Moller on climate change.” I appreciate being a good steward of the climate and advancement in renewable energy standards; however, we cannot just rubber stamp renewable projects trying to reach a goal. Minnesota historically had reasonable electric rates; now we are higher than the nation. That is why I support Randy Jessup for 42A and the legislation passed in 2017 which directs the utilities to aim for electricity rates to be 5 percent below the national average. As Randy has so diligently worked across the aisle on health care, taxes, education and school safety, I am confident he will continue to do so on environmental issues. I applaud the current legislators who realize that rising electric prices also pose a problem to the state, and that a balanced approach to energy goals is needed. Now the MPUC will take greater care in evaluating options when using the already approved funding (our tax dollars) they have available, yet remain competitive in consumer electricity rates. I like this juxtaposition; therefore, I will vote to re-elect Randy Jessup because he values his con-

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
North Oaks • A “doorbell ditching” complaint was called in from the first block of Raven Road on Sept. 15. No suspects.
Shoreview • A female resident in the 4700 block of Kent Street reported the afternoon of Sept. 11 that someone had stolen her recycling bin. • A 24-year-old St. Paul woman was arrested the afternoon of Sept. 12 following a domestic disturbance at an apartment in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue. Because deputies had been called to the address on a disturbance earlier
that day, the suspect was booked into jail on the charge. • A $5,000 set of hearing aids and a wallet containing $200 in cash and credit cards were stolen the afternoon of Sept. 13 from a locker at the YMCA in the 3700 block of Lexington Avenue. An investigation continues. • Photography equipment, including several cameras, went missing from a “possibly unlocked” vehicle parked in the driveway of a residence overnight Sept. 15 in the 900 block of Carmel Court. Unknown value. • An iPad, a pair of Oakley sunglasses and two $20 gift cards were stolen from a locked vehicle overnight Sept. 15 in the 4800 block of the Hodgson Connection. Damage was also done to the vehicle’s upholstery. No suspects.
• A Robinhood Place resident reported the overnight theft of his HP computer Sept. 15 by someone who entered the home through an unlocked entryway. The device was valued at $300.

Children’s charity lemonade stand
• A Glen Paul Court resident reported Sept. 16 finding a “pop bottle with a burnt rag smelling of gasoline near a garage.” The caller reported the clumsy attempt at producing a Molotov cocktail had been found two nights earlier. • A resident in the 800 block of Monterey Drive was awakened by a loud noise on his porch in the pre-dawn hours of Sept. 16. His security camera footage showed a person unsuccessfully attempting to enter his home. An investigation is underway.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Residents voice opinions FROM PAGE 6
states, including Wisconsin, which courts ruled were egregiously gerrymandered when one party controlled the government? Make no mistake, one-party control could happen in Minnesota. In contrast, Wazlawik demonstrated greater understanding of the need to reform our redistricting process. She supports the establishment of an independent redistricting commission that advises the Legislature, such as the one proposed by Walter Mondale and Arne Carlson, that would consist of retired judges or the model used successfully in Iowa since 1980. The legislature and governor get final approval but both models effectively remove the politicians from the basic redistricting process. Fair redistricting is fundamental to a functional democracy, one in which your vote matters. Check www.ctvnorthsuburbs.org for a video of the forum. Kathy Tomsich North Oaks
Candidates diverge on important gun legislation I was happy to have the opportunity to attend the forum for candidates for Minnesota House District 38B, hosted by the League of Women Voters on Sept. 17. Patti Anderson and Ami Wazlawik shared their views on a wide variety of topics. In summing up, Anderson mentioned that the candidates did agree on many issues including what to do regarding guns. Although they did agree on two points, (support for universal background checks and the possibility that campus carry regulations might best be left up to individual colleges and universities), they diverged on two very important pieces of legislation that Republicans tried to advance in 2017: Permitless Carry, and Stand Your Ground. Anderson said she would not block efforts to advance bills in these areas. Wazlawik opposes both Permitless Carry and Stand Your Ground.

What happened to honesty? My mailbox has been flooded with campaign materials urging me to vote for candidates. One mail piece from the Minnesota House DFL alleges that incumbent House Republicans voted to give themselves a 45 percent pay increase. There was never a vote by legislators on the salary increases. As you may recall, voters approved a 2016 constitutional amendment that took legislative salary decisions away from the lawmakers and gave the responsibility to a new independent council. WCCO, KSTP, and the Star Tribune reported that the claims made in the mail piece were false and misleading. It is extremely unfortunate that the House DFL would send out a mailer that is false and misleading. What happened to honesty? Candidates should be running on their values and priorities for the state. Maybe the DFL has reasoned that their values and priorities are too extreme for everyday Minnesotans. Joyce Thompson Shoreview
Mailers that mislead I support Kelly Moller for House District 42A in November. She has a record of accomplishments in her role as assistant county attorney for Hennepin County and supports issues that are important to me and many others in Shoreview, Arden Hills and Mounds View. Those issues include protecting seniors and affordable health care. However, I recently received a mailer from the “Pro Jobs Majority PAC.” It claims that Rep. Randy Jessup helped protect seniors in nursing homes by “ensuring those who abused loved ones will be swiftly punished.” This is highly misleading. After a major scandal from failure in oversight on elder abuse claims, advocates for seniors asked for legislation to help avoid abuse in the fi rst place with measures such as licensure of assisted living facilities. What happened was that the Republicans in the Legislature succumbed to pressure from lobbyists from the nursing home industry, and the changes that passed were almost inconsequential. The mailer also touts Jessup for providing relief for health care premiums. Again, this is misleading. Jessup and his colleagues moved several hundred million dollars from the Health Care Access
Fund and gave it to insurance companies to lower premiums only for individuals buying coverage at the MNSure health care exchange. That resulted in draining the fund meant to help subsidize coverage for people who work but can’t afford the full cost of premiums from the state’s MinnesotaCare program. Kelly Moller supports shoring up the Health Care Access Fund and allowing any Minnesotan to buy coverage through MinnesotaCare. She also supports real reform to protect seniors. Kent Peterson Shoreview
Support Moller on the environment I encourage my neighbors to support Kelly Moller for the state Legislature in House District 42A this November. The environment is a critical issue for my family, and Kelly is endorsed by the Sierra Club. That endorsement means a lot. She supports increasing our renewable energy standard to 50 percent by 2030. This means that half of our electricity would come from renewable sources. It is a key part of reducing our carbon emissions. Our current efforts have created jobs faster than the rest of the economy in fields like wind farm development and energy efficiency. She also wants to build upon Gov. Dayton’s efforts to improve water quality by 25 percent by 2025. Our current state representative, Randy Jessup, has a few positive environmental votes on some small but visible things, like allowing cities to ban foam takeout containers. These seem cosmetic when the Legislature has been missing in action on the big issues like climate change that will affect my children and grandchildren. Jessup also voted to remove the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s authority to protect wild rice from sulfate pollution from mining (2017 House File 3280); to raid the Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund (funded by the Minnesota Lottery) to pay for revenue bonds for unrelated projects (HF4404); and to exempt many wastewater treatment plants from complying with the Clean Water Act for 16 years (HF2802). I don’t see a pattern that justifies Jessup’s claim on his website that he “consistently supported protecting our natural resources.” On protecting our environment and natural resources, I’m with Kelly Moller.

COMMUNITY CENTER: Playground, pool, fitness studios now open FROM PAGE 1
The larger toddler-friendly section in the Tropics Waterpark is underway. Called Bamboo Bay, it is expected to be completed by late fall to early winter this year, Seifert said. A new zero-depth splash pool and aquatic play structure will be part of the addition. Renovations to the rest of the pool space have been completed. One of the major updates was flooring around the pool and in locker rooms. “It’s really, really slip-resistant,” Seifert noted, speaking from experience. Her 3-yearold has been using the pool since it reopened this summer. The lifeguard office was also moved to make room for more locker room space. The number of family locker rooms increased from two to eight. The Wave Cafe area was renovated with new and more open seating. In the new addition, there are four new fitness studios and four new activity rooms. The fitness center was renovated; former studios were turned into a new stretching and training space. An outdoor deck from the Fireside Lounge is still under construction. The community center is nearly 30 years old and the city wants to keep it fresh and exciting and cater to new young families, according to Mayor Sandy Martin, who was on the council when it was built in 1990.

to eliminate its use of herbicides even more. The city has recently replaced landscaping with more pollinator-friendly vegetation in the Commons and two parks it recently renovated “Right now whenever we do update landscaping, that is something we take into account,” said City Administrator Terry Schwerm. The city also plans
to encourage developers to include pollinator-friendly plants in their plans. It also plans to encourage residents to make their yards more pollinator-friendly. It will continue to host the St. Paul Audubon Society’s Landscape Revival Native Plant sale. “We are coming out of a generation that has placed a very high value on perfectly manicured turf grass,” Maloney said. “And while that is
nice and has its value for use, there can be a cost to it as well when it comes to pollinator habitat. If you let your lawn grow with dandelions, you will see the value of dandelions for pollinators.” The city also changed beekeeping ordinances in 2017 to allow residents to keep hives.

Expansions include new classrooms and a main office and secure entry addition. The media center, special education area and three classrooms will also be remodeled. The plans were designed by Wold Architects. • Approved an assess-
ment for street improvements near Colleen Avenue, Rustic Place, Rice Street, Hodgson Road, Dennison Avenue and Galtier Place. The amount is about $3,000 per lot but is also based on lot size. • Adopted a resolution to approve a tax abatement plan for The Edison, a 368-unit residential housing complex located at Rice Creek Parkway in northwest Shoreview. It provides for 18 mixed-income affordable units to be included with the development.
Early voting begins By law, citizens can vote in person or by mail 46 days before an election. People can vote early in person during business hours at their county courthouse or government center. Early in-person voting will be available at the Shoreview City Hall daily, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. through Oct. 29. Early in-person voting will take place daily at the Ramsey County Library - Shoreview Oct. 30 through Nov. 5. Lists of early voting locations can be found at mnvotes.org. All in-person locations will be open Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. When voting by mail, voters request a ballot that is sent to them. Ballots can be mailed back or dropped off at an early voting location. If a person requests a ballot, that does not mean that they must vote by mail. They can change their mind and vote in person. People voting early have until the week before the election to change their vote. To request a mail-in ballot, visit sos.state.mn.us. Early voting is not only convenient, it is growing in popularity. In Minnesota’s primary election, held just over a month ago on Aug. 14, more than 135,200 voters used this option. This played a part in pushing the number of people voting in a primary to 902,119, the highest number of primary voters since 1982. The excitement to vote in the primary is carrying over to the general election. In early September, the number of newly registered voters in Minnesota was double that of the same point as in 2014, the last midterm election. Nearly 70 percent of those registering were between the ages of 18 and 30. This is incredibly encouraging because in the 2014 election, Minnesota dropped from being the top voter turnout state to number six. From press release

Osceola caves picked as test site to help bats BY SUZANNE LINDGREN EDITOR@OSCEOLASUN.COM
Osceola’s Geiger caves have been chosen as a test site for treating white-nose syndrome. The disease, a fungus, prompts hibernating bats to burn through their fat reserves before winter is over. Some die of starvation, others freeze upon leaving the hibernaculum in search of food. The disease was fi rst documented in the U.S. in New York, 2006, and was fi rst detected in Wisconsin the winter of 2014. Staff at the Wisconsin and Michigan departments of natural resources have been working with scientists to document and mitigate the effects of WNS and are now beginning to test potential treatments. The Geiger caves, carved from the bluff by Veit Geiger for storing beer, have been on the DNR’s list of potential sites for experimental treatments for years. Because the cave is manmade and relatively (somewhere in the neighborhood of a century and a half old), researchers have fewer concerns about their test treatments disturbing an established ecosystem. PHOTOS BY SUZANNE LINDGREN | THE SUN
A gate now covers the small remaining entrance to the Geiger caves. The Village of Osceola granted the DNR permission to access the caves this month to test an experimental treatment for white-nose syndrome, a fungus that infects bats.
After initial successes delaying infection and reducing its severity by treating bats’ winter quarters with chlorine dioxide, researchers will continue testing with increased concentration and exposure time. The Osceola Village Board approved a temporary access permit to the cave at its August 14 meeting, allowing the DNR access this month. A gate installed over the cave entrance in August 2015 has stopped humans from entering except with special approval. The DNR’s plan is to seal the cave
and fog it with chlorine dioxide. After 48 hours the cave will be re-opened. The gas dissipates, leaving no harmful residues to bats returning during fall swarm. The DNR plans to do the work this month, before any bats move in for the winter. Before and after the treatment, researchers will test for the presence of the fungus that causes WNS, Pseudogymnoascus destructans. They will also monitor the health of the bats through spring and compare the results with those of untreated sites nearby.

Back-to-school warning on nicotine and e-cigarettes
MINNESOTA YOUTH TOBACCO TRENDS
As students return to school, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has issued a health advisory regarding the latest evidence that early nicotine use increases the risks of addiction for youth now and later in life. Nicotine primes the adolescent brain for addiction. Those exposed to nicotine are more likely to use other harmful substances such as illicit drugs and cigarettes. Because their brains are still developing, kids and teens can become addicted to nicotine more easily than adults. Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation, a coalition of more than 60 organizations, warns that tobacco may be in students’ backpacks. “Today’s tobacco products are designed by the industry to look like everyday items like candy and school supplies,” said Molly Moilanen, director of public affairs at ClearWay MinnesotaSM and cochair of Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation. “Through stealthy designs, high nicotine content, aggressive advertising and candy flavors, this generation of tobacco products threatens our progress to reduce teen smoking.” In 2017, Minnesota high school tobacco use spiked to 26 percent — the first increase in teen tobacco use in 17 years, according to MDH. Much of this increase was due to e-cigarettes: high-school e-cigarette use increased by 50 percent over the last three years. Currently, 19 percent of high school students report use. “We need to do everything we can to address this escalating risk of addiction for youth, but we can’t do this alone. This work requires the participation of parents, educators, health care providers, retailers and policymakers,” said Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm. Nearly all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, and research shows that young adults who smoke or who use e-cigarettes are much more likely to binge drink than nonsmokers. Recent studies have identified similar patterns between the use of nicotine and use of other drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and
• 67 percentt off hi highh school h l ttobacco b users andd nearly l 60 percentt off middle school tobacco users reported using flavored products. • 11 percent of high school students reported smoking cigars or cigarillos, a 30 percent increase from 8 percent in 2014. • Almost 40 percent of high school students have tried e-cigarettes, which come in kid-friendly flavors like gummy bear and cotton candy. • Nearly 1 in 5 high school students reporting using e-cigarettes in the past month — a nearly 50 percent surge from 13 percent in 2014. • 88 percent of high school and middle school students reported they have seen advertisements promoting e-cigarettes. • More than $110 million/year is spent by the tobacco industry marketing and advertising their products in Minnesota. • Nearly 95 percent of addicted adult smokers started smoking before age 21.

methamphetamines. Use of e-cigarettes has also been shown to predict future cigarette use among youth who have never smoked cigarettes. Multiple research studies have demonstrated e-cigarette users are twice as likely to become cigarette smokers. “Far too many teens are being introduced at an early age to e-cigarettes,” said Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “Nicotine negatively impacts learning, memory and attention. As students start their new school year, I encourage educators, parents and health care providers to come together and raise awareness about the dangers of e-cigarettes on our youth so we can quickly address these troubling trends and put a full stop to them.” A specific product called JUUL, which looks like a USB or flash drive, now dominates more than 70 percent of the e-cigarette market. These products are easily hidden, emit a limited odor, and contain aero-
sol, which dissipates quickly. The JUUL pods, often flavored like candy or fruit, contain the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. “Nicotine is highly addictive and can harm the adolescent brain no matter how it’s delivered,” Moilanen added. “Some of these popular devices are delivering a massive amount of nicotine. Youth often don’t realize or underestimate the amount of nicotine in these products and are becoming hooked at a young age. As Minnesota students go back to school, we urge elected leaders to step up and do more to protect youth.” All tobacco use, including e-cigarette use and vaping, is prohibited by state law in public schools, according to MDH. It is illegal for retail merchants to sell e-cigarette products to youth under age 18. Many Minnesota communities are already taking action to keep e-cigarettes and other tobacco products out of youth hands. Eleven cities have raised the minimum age to buy tobacco to age 21, and some have restricted flavored tobacco products to adult-only tobacco shops. Shoreview was the sixth city in the state to raise the minimum age to 21 in May. Submitted

Stout defense, and Stenstrom-to-Hoyhtya combo, lifts Mustangs over Stillwater BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Mounds View Mustangs struck for two second-half touchdown passes to defeat Stillwater 17-9 on the Ponies field Friday evening, Sept. 28. The Mustangs (3-2) trailed 9-3 at halftime but Cole Stenstrom passed to Collin Hoyhtya for touchdowns covering 15 yards in the third period and 34 yards in the fourth quarter. Stenstrom completed 11 of 16 passes for 100 yards, to seven different receivers, with none intercepted. Hoyhtya, a 6-1 junior wide receiver, caught five for 68 yards. Mounds View rushed for 179 yards. Cody Bieber had 61 in 17 carries, Nate Farm 51 in 11 carries, and Mateo Cisneros 34 in nine carries. Tommy Woldt kicked a 23-yard field goal and two extra points. Trevor Redmond, Mounds View’s top rusher, receiver and kicker last season and the first two games this year, missed the last two games with an ankle injury. He tried to come back against Still-
water but re-injured the ankle early in the game. Offensive lineman Brendan Kauls also left with a torn hamstring. For Stillwater (1-4), quarterback Luke Cullen completed 10 of 13 passes for 184 yards and no interceptions. Cooper Yeary scored on a 45-yard pass and Andrew Eichten had a 61-yard gainer. However, Mounds View stuffed Stillwater’s ground game. The Ponies were minus 27 yards in 18 attempts. The Mustangs made three sacks of Stillwater’s backup quarterback and Ben Kettelhut intercepted a pass. The Mustangs lost to Woodbury 24-7 on Sept. 21, giving up two long scoring passes (43 and 62 yards) while the Royals held them to 39 yards passing and 31 rushing. The Mustangs defense extracted five turnovers and Jaylan Lomax made a 67-yard kickoff return but they capitalized only once. Nate Farm had a 2-yard touchdown run after Woodbury muffed a punt at their 19-yard line. Mounds View will host East Ridge (4-1) next Friday.

SPORTS BRIEFS Mustang swimmers have 3-2 3 2 dual meet record The Mounds View swimmers have a 3-2 record with victories against Woodbury, Cretin-Durham Hall and White Bear Lake, and losses to Stillwater and East Ridge. Consistently scoring points, coach Chris Yauch reports, are seniors Serena Chan (butterfly, backstroke, individual medley), Sofie Sjogren (100 freestyle, butterfly, I.M.) and Hannah Tang (200 and 500 freestyle; juniors Megan West (100 and 200 free, backstroke), Annie Moen (50 and 100 free) and Alli Misialek (butterfly, backstroke); and freshman Eleanor Lynch (breaststroke and I.M.)
Sojos sparks Mustang kickers to pair of victories Four goals by Jani Sojos, including a buzzer-beating game-winner, helped Mounds View boys soccer win two straight games, after going 1-8 before that. The senior forward pulled out a 3-2 win over Spring Lake Park by drilling the ball just under the bar, with one second left,
off a pass from Zach Zengue, on Sept. 22. Sojos got the fi rst goal with an assist from Ben Steil. Bijan Asadi broke a 1-1 tie with a rebound goal after Steil hit the post on a penalty kick. Connor Patrick was in goal. Sojos knocked in two more goals in a 3-1 win over White Bear Lake on Sept. 25, with assists from Asadi and Alec Weber. Zengue, a freshman, had the other goal on a PK after Eamon Hauth-Schmidt was fouled in the box. Connor Patrich was in goal for each win. The Mustangs (3-9) then ran into No. 2 ranked Stillwater and lost 4-1.
Mustang girls soccer has 1-9-2 mark Mounds View girls soccer, coming off a section runner-up season, is struggling at 1-9-2 this season.

7 uses for fallen leaves By the time autumn hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown. Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves to tend to. It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many pounds of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are substantial. Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away. In fact, there are several different uses
of leaves that can be beneďŹ cial. 1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter. 2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compost-like material called leaf mold. Even though leaf mold may sound like a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water. Leaf mold also attracts beneďŹ cial organisms that are vital in healthy soil. 3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to
improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them. 4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings. They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow. 5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn healthy
throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight. 6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tightly together in cold areas of the home, such as basements or garages. They can act as added insulation. Bags of leaves also can be placed around planting containers to protect them from frost. 7. Gather a few of the best-looking leaves and preserve them. Use an iron on a low setting and press leaves between two pieces of waxed paper until the waxed paper seals together. Or use clear contact paper to achieve the same effect. Fallen leaves can be used in many different ways throughout the year.

My neighborhood didn’t experience ground frost but I observed plenty of frost on roof tops and car windows. Many of us also marked this past week as the first time we turned on heat, as September ended in a string of much colder than normal days. Fall colors are in full swing north, while metro area trees are showing some color.

Stroke: a silent killer at any age BY DEBRA NEUTKENS WHITE BEAR EDITOR
When well-loved White Bear Lake booster Deb Stender succumbed to stroke at age 46 last February, the shock around the community was palpable. Here was a strong, healthy woman who one day was planning events like Marketfest and Township Day, and the next undergoing emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her brain. “No one can tell me why she suffered a stroke,” said Stender’s husband Jeff. “She didn’t have high blood pressure, she ate well and exercised. Doctors told me it can happen to anyone.” Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, next to heart disease and cancer. There are two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic. About 87 percent of strokes are ischemic, in which a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain. These strokes are treated with a clot-buster medication called tissue plasminogen activator or TPA, or in some cases a delicate neurological procedure. This is the type of stroke Stender suffered. The second category is hemorrhagic stroke, in which blood bleeds into the brain. Treatment is more limited and very specialized. The expertise required to deliver a full range of treatment options for both types of stroke is what distinguishes a Comprehensive Stroke Center from a Primary Stroke Center. The two closest comprehensive centers are Regions and United in St. Paul. St. Joseph’s Hospital, which received Stender, is a primary center. When asked if he wanted to bring attention to stroke after his wife’s untimely death, Stender readily agreed. It was an emotional interview, but the widower soldiered on as he told their story, sharing what he’s learned about warning signs and risk factors for stroke. Deb’s mother, for instance, wonders if Deb had a deficiency of protein C in her blood, although there is no way to know for sure. Protein C is an anticoagulant and a deficiency is heritable. “Deb was deficient at the time of death but because she had suffered so many strokes, we don’t know,” Jeff said. Their daughter Kaitlyn has since been tested and does not have the deficiency.
Stroke hits without warning Their sad ordeal started early the morning of Feb. 22 when Jeff was leaving for his job as a patrol sergeant with the Stillwater Police Department. He heard a cry and thought it was the dog. The dog was fine. He went back into the bedroom to check on Deb but she was asleep. Thinking back, he believes she made the sound and the stroke had started. Kaitlyn found Deb in the living room before the start of school struggling to put on her jacket. She had toothpaste down the front of her pajamas. The car was running. “Deb was confused when Kaitlyn tried to talk to her; slurring her speech. Her face ‘looked funny’,” Jeff recalled. “She was obviously having motor function issues.” Concerned, Kaitlyn called her dad. He told her to call 911.
Time is critical for stroke victims. When the brain lacks blood flow, for every minute that passes, two million nerve cells die and 14 billion connections are lost, according to Regions Hospital’s neurologist Dr. Bret Haake. Successful treatment depends on timeliness. In the past, aspirin helped one out of 77 patients having an ischemic stroke, according to Haake in an article in Minnesota MD News. Today, stroke centers use the clot-buster TPA. If administered within three hours of stroke onset, one in three patients can be helped, he said. If the clot buster is given within 4.5 hours, it can help 16 of 100 patients. Beyond that timeframe, TPA, a potent blood thinner, is not administered as there can be greater risk than benefit. In fact, it can turn an ischemic stroke into a hemorrhagic stroke, doubling the danger. In Stender’s case, no one knew the stroke onset so she did not receive the TPA. A person suffering stroke is not always aware they’re having a problem.
First responders identify needed medical facility It took Jeff Stender 12 minutes to get to his White Bear Lake home from Stillwater. When he arrived, paramedics were loading Deb into the ambulance. He has all the respect in the world for the city’s first responders. “I don’t know what people know in this community, but we’re pretty fortunate here in White Bear,” Stender said. “We have an extremely good fire department with an extremely welltrained and professional ambulance service.” When paramedics see the classic signs of stroke, they call in a special code to the nearest stroke center; in this case St. Joe’s. A special team is put on standby at the hospital so the patient goes immediately into a stroke protocol, bypassing the emergency room. Jeff said Deb was coherent when she was loaded into the ambulance. “I got in the rig and talked to her. She understood what I was saying but she couldn’t talk very well. She was still having motor function issues. She tried to hug me and she couldn’t. She knew she was having a stroke.” A medic crew uses the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale before calling in the code, said Assistant Fire Chief Joel Schmidt. The scale considers facial droop, arm drift and abnormal speech. “If positive, we need to know the last known well time, along with a normal blood glucose level. If it’s less than 4.5 hours, the patient should be transported to a stroke receiving facility. If longer, they should be transported to a catheter-lab-capable stroke receiving facility,” he noted. St. Joe’s is such a facility. “Time is critical for these calls,” stressed Schmidt. “We strive for a scene time less than 15 minutes and immediate notification to the receiving facility.” A team of neuroradiologists from St. Paul Radiology were waiting for Stender when she arrived at St. Joe’s stroke center. They performed a mechanical thrombectomy in an attempt to suction out the clot causing the stroke. The specialty team of four surgeons travels to Regions, St. Joe’s, United, Fairview Southdale and Meth-

odist to perform the procedure. When the surgery to remove the clot took three times longer than expected, Jeff Stender knew something was amiss. “The procedure did not work,” he recalled. “They kept trying but they couldn’t reach the clot.” At that point, Deb was moved to intensive care to allow the stroke to run its course. “They told me there will be a portion of the brain that would die,” Jeff said. “We didn’t know how much damage there would be. The conversation turned to rehab facilities. No one was talking about anything other than rehabilitation and recovery at that point.” It was not to be. Later that night, Deb suffered respiratory failure. “No one could explain that either,” Jeff said. “I was making phone calls when they called the code; I knew it was for her. That was a surreal moment. They got her stabilized and put her on a ventilator. Then a neurosurgeon told me they had to remove part of her skull due to brain swelling. It was one thing after another.” After the second surgery, Deb was put in a medically induced coma. Jeff was still convinced his wife would make it. “They’re telling me she had a high likelihood of recovery. No one ever told me Deb was going to die.”
Death comes without answers At 2 a.m. Friday morning, Jeff and Kaitlyn went home to attempt sleep. It was snowing heavily. He remembers dozing off and waking up at 5:20 a.m. “I was hysterical. I thought, something happened. I called the hospital. She was stable. I told the night nurse we’d be in at 8 a.m. We were getting ready to leave when the hospital called wondering when we’d be in. They wouldn’t tell me anything. But I knew. I didn’t want to believe it. She’d had at least two more strokes.” A CT scan showed no brain activity. “I appreciated the no-nonsense position the neurosurgeon took,” said Stender. “She said ‘your wife is gone; we can’t tell you why. There is nothing

we can do. Your wife is going to die. We can leave her on a ventilator as long as you want but at some point you need to decide what to do. Don’t let anyone tell you there will be a miracle and she will come back. “’Everything that made Deb, Deb, is not there anymore. It will never be there again.’” Deb Stender was taken off the ventilator at 3 p.m. Friday and died the next morning. “It was so shocking; the whole thing is surreal,” said the grieving Stender. “It went from everything is going to work out to it didn’t work out.” Living without his wife has been tough for the Stillwater cop and his teenage daughter. “A lot of days I still expect her to come home. I still worry about stuff like ‘oh, I didn’t ask about spending this money; she might be mad,’ or trying to get things organized in the house. Her stuff is still there. For the first couple of months I was in shock; there was so much to do. Now I’m pissed,” he stated. “I don’t know what to tell my kid. There is no one to blame, which is maddening. It doesn’t seem fair. “Kaitlyn is anxious and has trouble relaxing. I think she has post traumatic stress.”
Risk factors for stroke The risk factors for stroke are mainly high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and hardening of the arteries. Some heart conditions, atrial fibrillation for example, can put people at higher risk. It should be noted that high blood pressure parameters have changed. The American Heart Association puts 120/80 at the high end of normal. Anything above that would be considered mild hypertension. Teenagers who have suffered a neck injury or injured a blood vessel can have a stroke. Any injury to an artery can cause the body to make clots. And birth control pills can heighten the risk. Jeff Stender said he was told by Deb’s neurosurgeon that women over 40 shouldn’t be on birth control pills because it can increase the likelihood of stroke. “I don’t know if Deb had been told that. She changed to a different brand in October. I wished we’d had a better conversation about contraceptives.”

Family’s love of travel lands them in Tanzania BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS EDITOR
The Johnson family of Vadnais Heights has made traveling a priority in their lives. Having already visited Australia, China, Italy, the Caribbean and many places in Europe, the family can now add another destination to the list — Tanzania. The Johnsons visited Tanzania from July 31 through Aug. 14. Lisa and Ted took their teenage children, Thor and Greta, who are Mounds View High School students. They traveled with another family and a retired teacher and pastor who have traveled to Tanzania many times. “We are pretty big travelers. We have been to a lot of places around the world ... so we jumped at the opportunity to go to Tanzania,” Lisa said. “We wanted to really experience another culture and wanted to go with people who have been there and have a connection to the community so that we weren’t just tourists. We lived in the village. There was no running water, no kitchen; it was camping.” They first went to Iringa, where they visited a primary school and orphanage for children ages 2-16 who come from abusive homes. “When you are there, you are generally told not to bring money. You are supposed to ask what their needs are and then go and purchase it for them,” Lisa explained, adding their group purchased a new milking cow along with sheets, blankets, cooking oil and rice for the orphanage.
The Johnsons then headed to Magulilwa, where they visited a nondenominational secondary school for ages 12-18. The students come from a variety of religions, including Christianity, Islam and tribal religions. At the school, the Johnsons taught lessons and kept the kids busy by doing crafts and playing games. In addition, they donated items to the children. Ted works for the Minnesota Timberwolves and was able to bring an abundance of shirts, jerseys and basketballs. Lisa is a Centennial High School teacher. “One thing we noticed while we were at the school was there were no posters in the whole school. So when I got back, I asked if teachers had posters in their drawers they weren’t planning on using and collected them,” Lisa explained. A gentleman who lives in Minneapolis and works at the school in Tanzania then brought the posters back with him to Africa. The friendliness and openness of the people in Tanzania made an impression on Lisa. “They were the kindest, sweetest people. They didn’t seem to have the worries that we have (here) despite not having anything. They all seemed incredibly welcoming,” she said. The trip also had a lasting impact on Thor and Greta. “They especially noticed the lack of material things and how happy the kids were despite that. How differently people live around the world, what they eat, how they live, what their daily lives look like. I think they were pretty blown away by that,”

she said. Even though Tanzania is not a part of Johnson’s social studies curriculum, as she teaches U.S. history, she can often be spotted talking about her travels and sharing pictures with her students. “I am hoping to grow a love of traveling and experiencing the rest of the world in them,” she said.
Lisa and Ted try to go on at least two trips a year. They don’t have any specific plans for the rest of this year or next year just yet but are hoping to go to a warm destination over the winter such as Costa Rica or Belize.

Unique wetlands project treats polluted runoff before it hits St. Paul’s water supply
SUBMITTED
A liner was placed beneath the engineered soils to divide wetland cells. The boxes sticking up are water level control structures, similar to what’s used in agricultural drainage. Water comes up from Whitaker Pond and is pumped via solar power through the treatment cells and directed into a nearby drainfield.
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) unveiled the Whitaker Treatment Wetlands at an open house last month at Columbia Park. The project is an innovative new method to treat polluted stormwater runoff, and serves as both a research project and a water filtration tool. It's the first of its kind in Minnesota. Studies show that Whitaker Pond, as well as Lambert Creek, are impaired for nutrients and E. coli bacteria. Because these water bodies drain into Vadnais Lake, the source of drinking water for St. Paul and the surrounding community, watershed improvements in this area are a top priority for VLAWMO. Using grant funds from the Minnesota Natural Resources Trust Fund and partnering with the University of Minnesota, VLAWMO pioneered a way to filter water from Whitaker Pond. The project
uses three different treatment “cells,” each with its own engineered filtration material. One of these cells serves as a control, while the others act as experiments in the study. All of the cells are planted with native plants found in Minnesota wetlands. For the next five years of the project’s life, VLAWMO will collect data to see how effective each material is at filtering excess nutrients, E. coli and other contaminants. The project itself, with all materials considered, is projected to last for 25 years. The effort was undertaken as a collaboration between municipalities, private contractors and the watershed district. Township Clerk-Treasurer Bill Short noted, “White Bear Township has been aware of water quality issues associated with Whitaker Pond for some time and values this opportunity to help facilitate the Whitaker Treatment Wetland by providing the site for it in

We commend VLAWMO for undertaking it and for their continuing efforts to address stormwater management and water quality in our watershed.” More information on the project is available at VLAWMO.org/ projects.
