In 2021, Lara moved back to the area with her husband.

At the same time, Lara had just begun to start her own business as a wellness coach.

“It was a super exciting transition for me to find coaching,” she said. “I’ve always enjoyed nursing a lot.

Coaching is really caring for the whole person, not just the physical side.”

A wellness coach helps their clients achieve their health and wellness goals by providing guidance, support and accountability. This can be through having the client set goals and make lifestyle changes to improve their physical and emotional health.

A wellness coach can help education clients on topics such as nutrition, exercise, behavioral health and stress management too.

“With my background as a nurse, I’ve loved caring

for people,” Lara explained.

“There is an emphasis on caring for the whole person, but I always just felt like that opportunity was very rare to talk to someone, and really care for their emotions and their spirit and their mental health unless that was their presenting problem.”

She jumped around different specialties in nursing trying to find the right fit for her.

AUTHOR Q AND A: New book inspired by an incident on Lake Superior FROM PAGE 1

Bree to learn more about his upcoming book.

Q: Tell me about yourself.

A: I’m a former editor with the Minneapolis Tribune and an amateur boat builder.

I built a wood-veneer and epoxy sailboat beside my home in Shoreview. It took seven years. The sailboat was for many decades a familiar sight, merrily bounding about on White Bear Lake. I have just turned 91. I maintain an author’s guild website at www.marlinbree.com, which has many pictures of my boat, myself and some of the places we’ve been.

Q: What inspired you to write ‘fangssS’?

A: It began with an incident on Lake Superior. As I sailed my 20-foot wooden sloop across the U.S./Canada border, the sky began turning an ominous black. From out of nowhere, something grabbed my mast and shook my whole boat. A solid wall of wind slammed into us, and Persistence skittered out of control across the waves. The bow depressed into the water, dug in and I was thrown into the air. I landed in the cabin, a sharp pain circling my ribs.

Crawling back to the cockpit, I wrestled the helm to head the small craft downwind, deeper into the world’s largest freshwater lake. We rode out the storm until the derecho’s front-line downbursts had passed and

I turned up Persistence’s engine and began fighting back to a nearby island. We had survived – Gerry’s Lucky Fender had done its job. Or something had.

Later, when I had returned with my trailerable sailboat to Shoreview, I got a call from NOAA which was setting up the first Derecho website for the “new” storm, and I learned what a dangerous piece of weather I had been in.

This derecho had downbursts estimated at 123 mph, and the NOAA scientist was amazed that my vessel had survived the spooky, strange and ever-changing weather. “We don’t get a chance to talk to many people who have been in this storm,” he added, and I smiled. My adventure is now on the NOAA website about derechos, and I am listed as a contributor. I did a book, “Wake of the Green Storm,” which talked about the derecho, and I recall talking with my New York Agent who told me to include plenty of pictures when I was out in the storm. “Sorry,” I said. “I was a little busy at the time.”

Q: How did you come up with the concept?

A: After surviving the rare, progressive derecho, I became especially alert to news of changing weather.

Wild storms at sea taking down even big boats. Gene Johnson, Publisher Emeritus of the Shoreview Press, told me he lost his boat to a storm

and is now taking charge to clean up the earth – dooming mankind. Deep underground in a cave not far from South Dakota’s famous dinosaur digs, a lone explorer discovers something strange and menacing: a remnant of a prehistoric killer that was once nature’s alpha assassin.

Nature had kept these killers alive deep in the earth and was now grooming them for their new role to clean up the earth. They would be the foot soldiers, so to speak, to clean up the earth after the weather –especially the killing heat – wreaked its toll.

in Florida. Double-digit heat killing millions. Wildfires.

Hurricanes. It was clear that climate change is turning into a climate crisis, with scientists warning: “We are waging a constant war on nature. But when will nature strike back?” They cite that millions of years ago, nature killed off 75% of all species five times – and nature may have already begun on its sixth cleansing. Does that sound remote and sciencefictiony? We are now living through the hottest and most humid summer in history in which millions of people have suffered and died.

In “fangssS,” nature has passed the tipping point

Q: How does this book differ from your other works?

A: My most famous book is “Alone Against the Atlantic,” which chronicles the stormy Atlantic crossing of White Bear teacher Gerry Spiess in his home-built 10-foot plywood boat.

My newest book is fiction.

Most of my published works are nonfiction books. An adventure-action-disaster book needs, like the novel, “Jaws,” to have a terrible villain. The bigger and badder the villain, the better the book. In “fangssS,” the desperate fight for survival begins between nature’s prehistoric killers and humanity, all told with fastmoving plotting, real-to-life characters and underlaid with menacing climate

danger issues. At stake is the fate of all people on earth.

Q: What was the most challenging part about writing ‘fangssS’?

A: Overcoming anxiety. I remembered my experiences years before writing “Alone Against the Atlantic.” The manuscript by Gerry Spiess and myself was handled by a New York agent and we thought that selling the book would be a shoo - in. But we kept getting rejections from New York publishers like, “who wants to build a tenfoot plywood boat and sail the Atlantic?” Apparently, no one. After rejection after rejection, we were tossed out on our own. I began looking at our own vibrant Twin Cities publishing community and finally settled upon a computer company that set up a publishing division as part of a “barter” system to sell its computers. Control Data Publishing got the book into the mainstream of buyers and the book made best-seller lists. It also made Reader’s Digest worldwide Condensed Books.

Q: Where can people buy your book?

A: “fangssS” is available on Amazon. Happy reading ---and a few shudders as menacing climate change comes alive.

Alexandra House’s ‘passion project’ becomes reality

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

Press Publications shared survivor Candice Amundson’s story about domestic violence a couple of years ago, but there is one story that has yet to be told — the story of an English bulldog named Linus.

“We always talk about the humans and the people, but we never really think about the animals,” Amundson said.

Amundson adopted Linus in 2016 as a puppy at the time her son was around 3 1/2 years old. “He did everything with us. We took him everywhere,” she recalled.

Amundson wasn’t the only one who spent eight years of her life living in constant fear. The incident that ended it all was when her then-partner not only tried to strangle her, but also their child. (See “Domestic Violence Awareness Month: First step is talking about it,” Oct. 12, 2022.) “(Linus) was there with us when it happened and didn’t stand by my side and protect me; he ran away and he was hiding under a table,” Amundson recalled.

Linus, who had experienced abuse himself before, was afraid. After that incident, if there was ever a loud noise, Linus would run and hide in the bathroom or under a table. “I saw firsthand how domestic violence can affect an animal,” she said. “Being in an environment where it’s unknown and people are yelling or people are hurting people, it’s really scary for them.”

Amundson never sought shelter because she didn’t want to leave Linus behind.

“There was a lot of retaliation, and I think power and control around the dog,” she explained. “I believe that if we would have left and left the dog behind, something could have happened to him … I knew that it wasn’t going to be an option to leave him.”

One day, Amundson went to Alexandra House’s campus in Blaine and had a vision of making the

shelter pet-friendly. She did some research and stumbled across the Greater Good Charities on RedRover. She took a six-hour course on how to make the domestic violence shelter pet-friendly and then pitched the idea to Alexandra House.

Tina Bronson, director of mission advancement at Alexandra House, said it has long been a dream of the organization to do something like that, but it has been difficult to secure the necessary funding.

“We have been talking about this for years. We were trying to do a capital campaign to do this back in 2017 when we lost our United Way funding,” she recalled.

Ultimately, Alexandra House will need approximately $15 million to renovate and expand its Blaine campus to create a shelter with individual residential units.

Alexandra House continues to look for funding and grant options, but it has successfully secured nearly $100,000.

Linus’ Pet Haven will be a full-service pet refuge that can house six pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, etc.) while the family seeks housing for themselves or other temporary care for pets. In partnership with the Animal Humane Society, Linus’ Pet Haven will provide co-sheltering, routine veterinary care, enrichment areas for families and pets to interact, and outdoor runs for exercise and relief. Alexandra House is seeking additional rescue and low-cost veterinary partners to support the initiative.

Bronson says Alexandra House typically gets about three to five requests each month from survivors who are looking to leave their abusers but have a pet they would like to bring with them. “We have had to tell them that we are not set up for that … and we never hear from them again, and that is devastating,” she said. “We had one survivor who left to go grocery shopping and was planning to leave but hadn’t said anything, and while she was gone the abuser killed their dog.”

Linus’ Pet Haven will be the first of its kind in the Twin Cities. There are many options when it comes to housing pets, but most of those require people to

be separated from their pets. “They are part of the family,” Bronson explained. “We know that having animals with us is healing and therapeutic … they can heal better together than alone.”

Linus’ Pet Shelter is anticipated to open in January 2025. For more information, visit www. alexandrahouse.org.

Support Journalism signs

ast week I had a nice conversation with a resident asking what the “Support Journalism” signs are. It was just a few years ago that a resident suggested we offer the community an opportunity to support journalism here locally and be recognized for it with a yard sign. Twice a year we ask for a subscription and on the form there is a spot to write in any amount that you would like us to apply to help support local journalism. Last year we had over 350 who participated, with support ranging from $1 to hundreds of dollars.

In a time when the internet is still the wild west and big tech operate as a monopoly Publisher’s giants and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is be forced on us daily.

View All of this is posing a threat the journalism with lack Carter Johnson to of accountability, accurate and truthful information, your support of local journalism helps provide everyone in our community access to a free newspaper with relevant, honest, real local reporting.

If you are reading this column and are a regular reader this paper, then presumably you get something from it each week that matters to you. If you do, please consider supporting your Press newspaper with an annual subscription, or check the box to “Support Journalism” by sending in any amount. We are happy to deliver a yard sign to anyone who supports journalism at the $100 level and wants one.

Homecoming anticipation

We participated in some of the Homecoming festivities over the weekend. Our son is a senior, so we are keenly aware that this is the last time we will attend these events, with the exception of maybe a football game.

As seniors, the kids have become better at making their own plans for the weekend.

Parents tend to be among the last to find out where and when photos are to be taken before the Homecoming dance. We have so many scenic spots around here, but golf courses are a favorite spot for groups to take photos. With our local golf courses tied up with weddings, the group my son was with ended up going to a public golf course in Woodbury to take photos.

So did every student in Woodbury, it seemed.

There were literally busloads full of dance-goers being dropped off. It’s always fun to reconnect with the other parents there taking pictures, many whom we have known over the years but don’t see as often now that the kids are older and independent. We all look like the paparazzi. The venue made sense because his group of 50 had a reservation at a restaurant nearby, apparently the only place that would take that many. I can’t imagine what the wait staff went through with all the requests for seperate checks.

It seems today’s high school youth make pretty good decisions when it comes to making plans and arranging rides to dances and parties.

I think all parents breathe a sigh of relief when these events are over and everyone makes it home safely after a fun night.

Go Mustangs!

Community journalism starts with community

R

unning a local newspaper can be one of the most frustrating, worthwhile, mundane, exciting, demanding, rewarding endeavors you can take on. Sounds great, kids, doesn’t it?

This year, we received the honor of a request to tell our story as part of National Newspaper Week.

The week serves to highlight the important work local newspapers do in their communities and remind people nationwide the value local Movers & of news provides What’s our story?

Shakers Many of you know it already. We were Adam dumb kids, or in Bruce’s case, a Strunk dumb man, who started a business in Newton, Kansas, with the idea that a community would pay for and support a locally owned newspaper filled with local news.

Start-ups are increasingly common today. In 2015, our idea was regularly greeted with the question, “You’re doing what?”

Naivete rarely gets rewarded in the business world. But for us, it was what allowed us to move forward. There’s a statistic that is bandied around. Roughly two out of 10 Americans have met or spoken to a journalist. It usually gets cited in various think pieces about the decreasing trust of the public in the media. People who’ve met a journalist are much more likely to trust what’s reported in the news than people who have not. We don’t doubt that statistic. But we don’t think it holds quite true in Harvey County. We don’t think we’d be in

business if that statistic was true.

When we opened, we hired Wendy Nugent, a long-time area journalist who’d met and interviewed residents of the county.

Since working for us, she’s written roughly 2,800 feature stories over her nine years. She’s met a lot of people. Bruce Behymer, the marketing dude, was a lifelong Sedgwick native. And he knew just about everybody. It’s still difficult to have a conversation with him in a public setting without at least three people interrupting to say hi. Three of us moved here for the first time, though Lindsey Young did a stint at Bethel College many years ago.

As we opened, we endeavored to be everywhere, speaking at local clubs and senior centers, even selling subscriptions from a truck tailgate at the farmers market.We did this because we knew that if we could just communicate with many people what we were doing, people would believe in it and support us.Over the years, all of us got to know the community and the readers.We’d think that a good many of you who take this paper have spoken with us on the phone when buying a subscription, stopping in the office to chat, or doing an interview with one of our reporters. You might have had us take your ticket or pour you a beer at our annual Blues, Brews and Barbecue concert. You might have attended one of our monthly Press Club mingles.

We invite subscribers to come by the office and come to a mingle, in part so they can get to know us better.

We’d hazard to say, at this point, the majority of our readers know at least someone at the paper. That’s by design. And that’s been important to us. To us, local journalism isn’t about watching a community succeed and struggle from afar.

To us, local journalism is a way to participate in a community we care about by providing useful information, as well as a little bit of accountability, entertainment, and joy along the way.We want what’s best for the community, because it’s our community, filled with our readers, our friends, and our neighbors.

There’s a joke that everyone hates Congress but loves their congressperson. To us, we’ve seen that with the paper. Many of our readers are skeptical of national media, but they support the paper. “You’re one of the good ones,” is a compliment that we’re perhaps happy to get but makes us cringe just a tad, as well. We’re not doing things too much differently than some bigger publications. But we are visible, accessible and around. And in doing so and in covering issues the way we’ve done over the years, we have the trust of many of you. A lot of trust. That’s not something we take lightly.

So if we’ve earned anything over our time and have to leave with one thought, it would be that we believe newspapers have a key impact on our communities. They keep the government honest. They keep people informed and connected.

They provide a snapshot of life, far outside social media bubbles. They advocate, desire to right wrongs, and seek to make where they operate a better place. We thank you all for giving us that opportunity, we thank you for your support, and we look forward to filling this role for many years in the future. We hope you view our publication not only as a window to the community but an important part of its structure.

Understand the issues

BRAVO! I was very impressed with your column on the editorial page. You hit the nail on the head with your explanation of all the issues we need to be aware of. Your information is never discussed on most news channels and is barely covered or not at all during the debates!

Whenever I’m talking to neighbors, I always urge them to do their own research from ALL RESOURCES. However, I doubt if they do.

Thank you.

PAID LETTER House District 40B candidates on education

I attended the House District 40B candidate forum between Paul Wikstrom and Curtis Johnson and my concern was education in the state of Minnesota, particularly in Shoreview ISD 621 and Roseville ISD 623.

At the forum, Curtis Johnson—current

- CREATE LEGACY BUILD THE YOUR FOUNDATION

CORRECTION Roseville school board member since 2018— said our schools “… have been and are great.” I recall that at the 2021 school board candidate forum he declared, “I promise that we will not return back to normal, we will return back to better.” Mr. Johnson, our schools have not returned back to better. During your tenure as a Roseville School Board member, you’ve delivered failures and broken promises.

And now you want a promotion to the Minnesota House?

Here is the Roseville Area High School (RAHS) and district “scorecard”: • RAHS math proficiently is 38%, reading proficiency 46% and science proficiency 33%.

• Only 69% of students attend school regularly compared to the state average of 75%.

• F rom Roseville Area High School, college readiness is only 33%! Meanwhile, graduation rates continue to climb, currently about 90%.

• Roseville Area High School is now ranked

No. 72 of high schools in Minnesota.

• Within the Roseville School District third grade reading is 43% and eighth grade math is 33%!

During Curtis Johnson’s tenure since 2018, third grade reading proficiency has dropped by 11% and eighth grade math proficiency has dropped by 15%. Mr. Johnson, the Roseville schools are not great.

In contrast, Paul Wikstrom has made excellent points that point to an allocation problem in education.

Since 2000, district administrative staff in Minnesota public schools is up by 32%.

Compare that to teacher growth of only 5%. The money isn’t getting to the teachers and the classroom. I agree with Paul. We don’t have a funding problem.

We have an allocation problem!

Paul Wikstrom is the clear choice for HD40B. Source: US News and World Report and the Minnesota Department of Education.

NOTICE OF LAKE AERATION TO PREVENT WINTERKILL AT GILFILLAN LAKE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of North Oaks has applied for an aeration permit for Gilfillan Lake to prevent winterkill. The aerator is located on the NW side of the lake at 8 Poplar Lane, North Oaks, MN, 55127 – Section17, T30N, R22 W, Ramsey County. The aerator helps add oxygen to the water in Gilfillan Lake.

When it snows on the ice no sunlight can reach the underwater plants, and they cannot make oxygen.

When oxygen levels get too low, fish can suffocate, causing a winterkill.

Aeration on Gilfillan Lake will cause thin ice and/or open water. Pay attention to warning signs, and use extreme caution on Gilfillan Lake.

Questions regarding the aeration permit should be directed to City Administrator Kevin Kress at 651-792-7750 or emailed to kkress@ cityofnorthoaks.gov .

MN HOUSE 40B VOTERS GUIDE 2024 CORRECTION

Paul Wikstrom (R)

Minnesota’s crime rate has risen above the national average.

Roseville has the third highest crime rate of nearby cities behind Minneapolis and St. Paul. Let’s support law enforcement and ensure that law enforcement is fully funded AND supported.

Bring academic proficiency back to public education. Since 2019, under Governor Walz: reading proficiency is down 16%, math proficiency is down 17%, science proficiency is down 23%.

Mississippi’s fourth grade reading proficiency is higher than Minnesota’s! And Minnesota spends $6,000 more per student than Mississippi!

Age: 62 City of residence: Shoreview Occupation: Engineering Manager List 3 most recent civic involvement roles:

Q. What are your top three priorities for the state?

A. Make Minnesota more affordable. The legislature increased

spending by 40% in the last cycle. If the legislature had returned the $18B surplus, it would have returned $3,000 per individual; $12,000 per family. This could have paid for your gas and groceries. I will help you keep your money in your wallet!

Stop the rising crime rates and make our communities safer.

concerns. I will be available to support and advocate for the public. I will use public input to inform my analysis and legislative decisions. My agenda will align with the needs of our district. I will provide every possible opportunity to provide the public with access to my official activities and duties. Most importantly, I will work tirelessly to bring TRANSPARENCY to the legislative process.

Q. If elected, how would you involve the public in making major decisions?

A. I will involve the public by listening to their needs and

on my three campaign priorities. I will support and advance legislation to stop the excessive spending and ensure that the legislature is living within the means of the Minnesota taxpayers!

I will work to establish a fraud crime stopper hotline that identifies fraudsters and results in convictions.

I will examine every aspect of law enforcement to better understand its’ needs, and opportunities to improve effectiveness.

I will have the back of law enforcement in the State of Minnesota!

For public education I will work to ensure that school districts are fully funded, with decision making pushed down to the district level. I will work to arrest the excessive rate of administrative spending while supporting the teachers who are increasingly burdened with bureaucracy and disorderly classrooms. We must focus on the students who are there to learn!

New date — same amazing holiday home tour Members of the North Oaks Children’s Hospital Guild 1 have been hard at work preparing for their annual Holiday Home Tour and Boutique. This year, the tour features two majestic homes with stunning decorative and architectural detail. This is a tour not to be missed!

The houses are large, so there are many returning and some new decorators. One of the returning decorators, with new owners, is Hummingbird Floral.

Hummingbird Floral has been a major contributor to the home tour for many years. Former owner and North Oaks resident Lugene Olsen was very passionate about the tour. According to Judy Cognetta, Guild Home Committee member, “Lugene was so important to our tour. We are so thrilled that the new owners want to continue the tradition!”

Hummingbird Floral’s new owners, sisters Melissa Thompson and Jessica Thompson Hicks, have a long history in the community. They grew up in Shoreview and are graduates of Mounds View High School. Their parents still live a couple of blocks from Hummingbird Floral.

Melissa is excited to put their personalities into the tour designs. “The trend this year is neutral, eco-friendly, with lots of wood and pine cones. Loose swags of greenery are also very popular this year.

They can be draped from a chandelier, placed on a mantel or used to embellish a counter.”

Kowalski’s will be a decorator in one of the homes again this year. According to Teresa Curran, gift and floral director at Kowalski’s, “For this holiday season, we are keeping with our Minnesota roots and creating a classic Northwoods feel. We will be using evergreen and almond color palettes to create a cozy space with beautiful velvet, wood and knitted accents to simplify and elevate traditional holiday picks.”

The Holiday Home Tour and Boutique takes place a week earlier this year. The tour runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16. Buses will depart from and return to the North Oaks Golf Club. The boutique takes place at the golf club and runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and

CONTRIBUTED

Hummingbird Floral will be featured at this year’s tour.

9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. A buffet luncheon will be available at the golf club on both days. Make luncheon reservations by calling the golf club directly at 651484-8585.

Visit the tour website: google “North Oaks Holiday Home Tour” for more information and to make a donation or purchase tickets. Tickets can be purchased online or in person. Tour proceeds benefit the Children’s Hospital Association.

When Lara found out she was a winner in the “Best of” competition, she said she was surprised and was really touched to be nominated.

“It really warms my spirit,” she explained. “My clients tell me during the session that it’s making a difference for them, but to be nominated feels very affirming.”

presented her with an opportunity to try nurse coaching for free through a friend. Lara agreed to try it.

“As I did it, I was like, ‘Wow, I think I should look into this and see if this is something I’d be interested in,’” Lara added.

The first program Lara took to become a wellness coach was the Nurse Coach Collective, which specifically helps nurses become coaches. It was a six-month program that required 60 hours of coaching and 120 hours of learning modules. She also has completed two certifications and a training program.

“Coaching really helps ask some of those deeper questions so you can start to make those changes and find out what’s holding you back from living the life that you want to,” she explained.

Lara added that the most rewarding part of her job is the “light bulb” moment for clients

Check for invasive species

The DNR reminds lake property owners to carefully check boats and trailers, docks and lifts, and all other water-related equipment for invasive species when removing equipment for seasonal storage. Several zebra mussel confirmations in recent years were initially reported by property owners and lake service providers while removing docks, boats and boat lifts.

Whether pulling equipment directly

onto shore for the winter or transporting it on the road to a storage location, it is important for equipment owners to take steps to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Remember to: • Keep docks and boat lifts out of the water for at least 21 days before putting them into another body of water.

This is state law.

• Look on the posts, wheels and underwater support bars of docks and lifts, as well as any parts of boats, pontoons and rafts that might have
