One more year to get REAL ID: Deadline delayed due to COVID-19 BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR
The human fascination with stories of the strange and unexplained transcends time and place. Every community has its share of skeletons in the closet. Whether you’re a skeptic or a true believer, it’s fun to share in the stories and legends built over generations that feature the places closest to home. Union Cemetery—White Bear Lake The ghost stories tied to Union Cemetery just off Highway 61 stretch back thousands of years to the first people who lived in this region of the world. A culture of early humans known as the Woodland Indians interred several of their dead in enormous earthen mounds near Lake Avenue and Shady Lane. The mounds went undisturbed for centuries until Euro-American colonists moved into the area and built roads into modern-day White Bear Lake. A bizarre accident in 1889 resulted in the removal of one of the most prominent mounds. A carriage carrying three travelers overturned when the horses spooked, resulting in the death of one of the passengers. After the accident, the mounds were razed and the human remains buried within were reinterred in a quiet spot in nearby Union Cemetery. The disturbance of this resting place may be one reason for the reported haunting at Union Cemetery. The cemetery began as a family farm burial
Water Street Inn—Stillwater Stillwater, which still holds the ambiance of an early logging town, lays claim to many haunts. One of the most well known is the rumored haunting of the Water Street Inn, a turn-of-the-century building located on the banks of the St. Croix River beside the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge. In 1890, the original building was constructed as the Lumber Barons Exchange Building, which housed several businesses and a saloon. With such a long history, it’s no surprise that rumors abound about hauntings. “The Minnesota Road Guide to Haunted Locations� shares a story that in the building’s early days, a Confederate soldier drank himself to death in the saloon. Some say that his foul body odor persists in the part of the building where he died. In the building’s current life as a motel and pub, guests and patrons frequent the premises at all hours of the night, sometimes encountering things they just can’t explain. Guests and employees sometimes report sightings of a spectral young man, and strange, unexplained noises late at night. Black Panther—Hugo Sightings of large, mysterious black cats have been reported all over the

world, and in the 1990s, Hugo had a few of its own. In 1999, a Hugo resident captured photos of the large animal in a pasture. He believed it to be the size of a German shepherd. Some theorized that sightings of the cat were due to mistakes in perspective—in the wide, empty farm fields around Hugo, sometimes it’s hard to tell just how far away things are. Without objects for reference, a nearby housecat might appear to be the size of a mountain lion standing farther away. But most everyone who has lived in the countryside has encountered a wide variety of wildlife and knows a large animal when they see it. Even if the animal was a roaming mountain lion, which have been known to wander through Minnesota, the odd color is tough to explain. Wildlife experts say there has never been a melanistic, or dark-colored, mountain lion documented in the wild. In the southwestern United States, there’s a slim chance people could cross paths with a black-colored jaguar, but this animal’s home range doesn’t come anywhere near Minnesota. Some postulated that the mysterious animal was an escaped exotic pet.
St. Genevieve’s Cemetery—Centerville Centerville is one of the oldest settlements in Anoka County, and St. Genevieve’s Cemetery contains a great deal of history since the town’s
What is a REAL ID? A REAL ID complies with the standards set by the REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005. Born out of a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, the act establishes minimum security standards for how states issue driver's licenses and ID cards. A standard Minnesota driver's license is not compliant, but both REAL IDs and enhanced driver's licenses/ID cards are.
What's the difference between a REAL ID and an enhanced driver's license? Unlike REAL IDs, enhanced licenses are acceptable border crossing documents, meaning they can be used to travel to Mexico, Canada and some Caribbean countries by sea or land, but not on fl ights. They require additional documentation, such as proof of citizenship, proof of photographic identity and an interview questionnaire at the time of application. Neither a REAL ID nor enhanced license can be used for international travel. Enhanced licenses cost $15 more than a REAL ID, which costs the same as a standard driver's license.

Minnesotans who still seek to get a REAL ID-compliant license now have almost another year to do so. The deadline was previously Oct. 1, but the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended the deadline to Oct. 1, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The federal, state and local response to the spread of the coronavirus here in the United States necessitates a delay in this deadline,� Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf said in a statement. “Our state and local partners are working tirelessly with the administration to fl atten the curve, and therefore we want to remove any impediments to response and recovery efforts.� Until the new deadline, a standard driver's license or state ID is valid for identification and lawful driving privileges, as well as domestic air travel and access to most federal facilities.

settlement. There are many mysteries about who lies beneath this hallowed ground. One notable gravesite is surrounded by an unusual iron structure and displays the name Louis Wenks on its stone. The Anoka Historical Society doesn’t know much about the grave’s occupant—only that he was a teenage boy who died sometime in the 1870s or 1880s. The reason for the iron bars is forgotten by history, but there are rumors that sometimes graves were enclosed this way because of a fear of witchcraft. Witches were said to be
able to rise from the dead. However, this theory might be a stretch—suspected witches weren’t usually buried in holy ground at a parish cemetery. More likely, these bars were meant to protect the person beneath, according to the Anoka County Historical Society. People were paranoid about being mistaken for dead and therefore buried alive, so some gravesites included contraptions that would allow the person below to signal to the world above if they woke up in their coffin belowground. The iron frame in St. Genevieve’s might have been part of one of these contraptions,
or possibly installed to deter grave robbers.
Keewahtin Lake UFO— Forest Lake
PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
A marker in Union Cemetery commemorates the place where the remains of 19 Native Americans, taken from the largest of 10 Native American burial mounds that once stood in White Bear Lake, were buried.
In 2009, residents who lived near Keewahtin Lake (then called Sylvan Lake) on the border of Forest Lake and Scandia reported a strange disturbance. When the Washington County Sheriff’s department arrived on the scene, a witness described seeing large waves and swirling action on the water’s surface, as if a boat or aircraft had suddenly plunged into the lake. Emergency responders sent divers down and performed a sonar sweep
of the area. The sweep revealed nothing unusual except for one unknown object, which appeared to be manmade and about the size of a washing machine. Since there was no one in need of aid, emergency services stopped their search. The sheriff at the time theorized the strange object might have been a crashed satellite. Once word of the incident spread, an inves-

tigator from the Mutual UFO Network arrived to inspect the scene and conduct interviews. The investigator found no ev-
idence of extraterrestrial activity, but it’s still unclear what exactly lies at the bottom of Keewahtin Lake.

P
olitical pundits and business analysts have a fondness for using sports metaphors. The origins of many of the phrases we commonly hear, like “The ball’s in their Court,” “Down for the count,” “In your wheelhouse,” “Bush League,” “Dropped the ball,” “It’s a slam dunk,” “Sweet spot,” “Down to the wire” and even “Hail Mary” can be traced back to tennis, boxing, baseball, basketball, horse-racing and football. In baseball, the term in your wheelhouse refers to the area within a batter’s swing where they have the best chance to make contact with the ball. Taking the origin back even further, it may also refer to the central location of a ship’s wheel, where everything is within reach. The term sweet spot refers to the part of the bat, Angle of racquet or club where a ball is View most effectively hit. I only recently discovered that the use of the term Paul Dols “Hail Mary,” referring to a very long pass made in desperation, came into much wider use following a 1975 playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. In the last seconds of the game quarterback Roger Staubach said that he closed his eyes and said a Hail Mary before throwing the game-winning pass. It was a heartbreaking and dark day for Minnesota fans and part of what has become something of a perennial, snake-bit legacy for the team. The football games we see today are the result of more than 100 years of evolving rules and regulations. According to a Smithsonian magazine article about the early history of the forward pass, football in America was a popular, but deadly, sport in the early 1900’s. The games attracted tens of thousands of spectators, far more than professional baseball at the time. In 1905 there were 18 fatalities nationwide and President Theodore Roosevelt, who had a son on the Harvard team, called for reforms to a game that was viewed as becoming increasingly violent. As a result, 62 teams gathered and agreed on a number of changes to make the game safer, including banning a formation called the “flying wedge,” that was known to cause serious injuries and also making the forward pass legal. Some of the rules and regulations we see in modern football are the result of an ingenious and crafty coach named Glenn (Pop) Warner, who’s successful coaching style at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania included a variety of trick plays that were all perfectly legal under the rules in place at the time. One of his plays involved the use of specialized jerseys equipped with elastic bands that enabled players to hide the football on kickoff returns. The rules of the game had to be revised to keep up with this inventive coach. Warner’s most enduring legacy was his consistent and effective use of the forward pass, which is still a primary part of the current game. However, today you won’t see a team attempting to confuse their opponents with football shaped pouches sewn on to their jerseys. It’s an alarming development, but the rapidly evolving technology and modes of communication many of us have embraced without question seems to be surpassing the ability of an aging governmental system to regulate and control the negative repercussions. It appears that the rules and safeguards currently in place to guarantee safe and fair elections will be tested to their limits this year. Since voting in my first election after turning eighteen, and in all of the years since, I’ve viewed the act as a privilege and the very least anyone can do to participate in a healthy democracy. It looks like it’s all coming down to the wire. I sincerely hope we don’t drop the ball, because there’s a lot more at stake then just a game.

Pheasant hunting: Tradition continues in uncertain times
ike many Minnesotans, I grew up pheasant hunting, walking the fields on my family’s farm. It was, and is, a tradition passed from one generation to the next. Pheasant hunting helped instill in me a lifelong respect for the outdoors. While time-honored traditions – from the State Fair to fireworks on the Fourth of July – have been upended by COVID-19, pheasant hunting is one thing that has largely stayed the same. COVID-19 hasn’t changed the nature of the sport. In fact, basic gun safety requires social Movers & distancing. Minnesota has Shakers a rich history seizing the Gov.

For Minnesotans, disappearing for a weekend to hunt, fish or enjoy our state’s natural beauty is a rite of fall. And this year, amid COVID-19, Minnesotans can still

of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates that in 2019, more than 52,00 people hunted pheasants in Minnesota alone. By last Friday, the DNR had already sold 50,481 pheasant stamps, up 13% from last year. From hunting equipment to travel, hunting energizes local economies and contributes more than 12,400 jobs and $733 million to the state economy. Minnesota is one of the top pheasant-hunting states in the country. Decades of conservation efforts by Minnesotans made that possible. Each hunt supports our conservation efforts. Funding from hunting licenses provides resources to fight soil erosion, improve water quality and benefit wildlife species. Beyond the conservation, commerce and mental health benefits, pheasant hunting is a valuable part of Minnesota’s cultural heritage. It allows Minnesotans to take advantage of the many opportunities in our state to get outside, while still doing their part to keep their neighbors healthy. Whether you’re a lifelong hunter or you’re wearing the blaze orange for the first time this year, I hope you have a safe season and successful hunting. Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota.

find socially distanced solace in the Minnesota pastime that for so long has connected families with the outdoors. I was looking forward to this year’s annual Governor’s Pheasant Hunting Opener celebration in Fairmont. However, I was still able to enjoy this year’s opener and our beautiful fall weather near my hometown of Mankato in a small, socially distanced group. As long as we practice social distancing, mask wearing, and staying in small groups, Minnesotans don’t need to be home-bound this winter. Minnesotans should continue to stay active while preventing the spread of COVID-19. As the leaves change and the weather gets colder, this year’s pheasant hunting season serves as a well-timed outlet for stress. The opportunity to spend time outdoors and enjoy the camaraderie of the hunt with friends and family can improve mental health and provide physical, social, and emotional benefits. It’s important that we continue to seek out the hobbies and passions that get us outside and into our communities. Not only does it benefit our mental health, but it supports our natural habitats and boosts our economy during a particularly challenging time for Minnesota’s working families.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PAID LETTER Sometimes we have to agree to disagree In last week’s Quad, Mr. Docksey wrote about his interactions with me at the Capitol, and I’d like to respond. I really enjoy hearing from constituents. Since being elected in 2018, I have communicated with thousands of the people I represent. In our office at the Capitol, I have a map of our district that constituents "flag" when they visit. There are nearly 200 flags on the map that were placed in just over one year. Some of the ideas I’ve received from you ended up as legislation signed by the governor. Other input included expertise on specific topics that were unfamiliar to me. That input made me a better legislator. It was great to have conversations with dozens of constituents at a time at monthly “chats” before the onset of the coronavirus. There are times when a constituent asks for my support for an idea on which I disagree. Hearing a diversity of opinions, even those I don’t agree with, is healthy in a democracy. I am honest with people when I disagree with them, but that does not mean that I do not try to understand their point of view. Sometimes we can find common ground, and other times we have to agree to disagree. As for meeting constituents in the hallway, this is a normal practice for legislators. Before the pandemic, my preference was to meet in my office during regularly scheduled office hours. However, many people come to the Capitol with groups for their "day at the Legislature," and they aren't available during my office hours. My assistant tells the leader of the group that I'd be glad to step out of committee to meet with people at the time that they are available. Obviously, I cannot leave committee hearings for too long, because then I would not be doing the job you sent me to the Capitol to do! Those who don’t feel such a meeting is long enough are welcome to schedule an additional meeting during office hours or on the telephone. I don’t expect to win everyone’s vote, but I’m glad to listen. Kelly Moller Shoreview

The fi rst capacity in which women were able to vote in Minnesota came in 1875 when a constitutional amendment allowed women to vote in school board elections. Minnesota was a key player in the national fight for women’s suffrage. In 1881 a group of women founded the Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association in Hastings, Minnesota; its fi rst president was Sarah Burger Stearns. The MWSA hosted the American Woman Suffrage Association’s annual conference in October of 1885, which brought the MWSA and women's suffrage in Minnesota to the national stage. In 1893 the MWSA tried but failed to pass an amendment guaranteeing women's suffrage. For the rest of the 19th century and into the 20th the MWSA would try to pass legislation concerning women’s suffrage, but would eventually fail. In 1914 Clara Hampson Ueland organized a parade of over 2,000 woman suffrage supporters in Minneapolis, which brought renewed attention to the cause in Minnesota. Ueland eventually became the president of the MWSA, and in 1919 when the 19th amendment to the constitution of the United States was brought before the Minnesota legislature, it passed. On Aug. 18, 1919, it was ratified by the United States Congress.

Come see why the vote is so important at the poster exhibit at the White Bear Senior Center.
Once the suffragettes had the vote, they reorganized as the League of Women Voters to educate all these new voters, thus this is the 100th anniversary of both suffrage and the LWV. Clara Uland was the fi rst president of the LWVMN. Submitted

Q&A: Talking with author Allan Evans
Where do you live?
I live in White Bear Lake with my wife Jen and various members of our blended family of six children.
Where did you grow up? I grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota.
What was it like growing up as the son of a famous musician, Doc Evans? When your father is famous jazz musician, that means growing up surrounded by music, art and literature. Growing up, we had quite the musical family: my father on cornet, piano and cello; my mom playing the cello as well; and my older brother, Jeff, played the violin; I played the trumpet and my younger brother, Mark—as I often joked—played the radio. Actually, he played the trumpet for several years before quitting to focus on the theater. It wasn’t well known outside of the Minneapolis area, but my father had a love for classical music. He founded and conducted the Bloomington (Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra, which continues yet today. My mother and older brother both played with the orchestra. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that my
could write a book about this.” So I did.
father has impacted me in profound ways, which continues today. The interests that bring joy to my life were his interests as well. I learned to love both jazz and classical music because of him. I learned to draw and went to art school because of him. I became a writer because of my love of reading that he inspired. I even recently taught my children to fly fish, just as my father had taught me. And finally, I have learned that a sacrifice made for family, is not really a sacrifice after all.
Was it something you always wanted to do? Yes, I often considered writing a book. Maybe when you’re named after Edgar Allan Poe, it was meant to happen.
Who is your favorite author or authors? I think my acknowledgement in Abnormally Abbey says it perfectly: And lastly, to authors John Sandford and Stephen King. Your brilliant storytelling (demonstrated by the fact I could never put your books down) inspired me to begin writing in the first place.
Tell us a little about your background in marketing/ advertising? I’ve written in advertising and marketing as a copywriter for nearly two decades, working with clients such as 3M, Medtronic, Piper Jaffray and Minneapolis Oxygen. I’m also a soccer coach for the St. Croix Soccer Club.
What inspired you to write a teen mystery novel? I’d written two thrillers (unpublished), but I’d wanted to write something my teenaged daughter Abbey could read. I named the main character after her and decided to make it a spooky, but fun book. I love mixing scary with humor. They pair very well. I was also inspired by the ghosts we shared the house with.
Why did you decide to write a book? I’ve always been a reader and wanted to write something that I’d like to read. The spark came at a New Year’s Eve party where a state patrol investigator was there sharing some amazing anecdotes. I remember thinking, “I
What’s Abnormally Abbey about? Being a spook magnet is not as glamorous as it sounds.

There's something seriously wrong with the summer camp 14-year old Abbey is sent to. It's not just the troubled kids, or the clueless camp counselors or even all the ghosts—yeah, the ghosts have found her there too—but now there's a mysterious symbol that keeps appearing at all the worst moments. Abbey is not a happy camper. But she is a fighter and can go from princess to warrior when there's a mystery to solve. As long as Abbey has her 80s music, there's no one— alive or dead—that's going to stop her. So, bring on the dead people, spooks and spirits. This girl ain't afraid of no ghost. Abnormally Abbey is a ghost story, but it’s also the story of a teenage girl who finds the strength to stand up for herself and become so much more than she ever expected.
Are your other books geared to a teen audience? Not all of them. I like to write adult thrillers too. But I recently finished another teen book titled Anomaly. It’s about a teenage boy who believes he’s adopted. He’s tall and thin enough to worry when the wind blows, while the rest of his family more resembles a fi re hydrant. His sister convinces him to take a DNA test to show he’s Scottish like the rest of the family. Turns out he’s not only adopted, but he has unknown DNA. That’s when he notices he’s being followed. The book is set in downtown White Bear Lake. I also have the sequel to Abnormally Abbey written, called Class Clown. Who doesn’t like a book about clowns haunting a high school?
Are any of your life experiences reflected in your stories? Yes, I’ve found a lot of my life experiences have found a home in my novels. Though I no

longer live there, my last house was haunted. Let me tell you a true story: I was sitting at the kitchen table writing when I heard something behind me. Creak. Since I was alone there shouldn’t be any noises. Yet, something was moving behind me in the kitchen. It was a slow creak that sounded like a cabinet opening everso-slowly. I didn’t turn around, but kept writing. Creak. I couldn’t help but shiver as I wondered what could be moving behind me. I really didn’t want to turn around. What if I saw someone—or something? I kept trying to write, but my brain wasn’t having it. Creak. Not again. I could feel my heart thudding in my chest. It was like my heart wanted to pound its way out just to get away from the creaking sound. I knew how it felt. “Abbey,” I tried to call out to my real-life daughter who was upstairs. The word barely made a sound as my throat was so dry that my voice sounded like two tree branches rubbing against each other. Knowing she’ll never be able to hear me all the way upstairs, I had no choice. I was going to have to turn around. I grabbed onto the edge of the table with both hands. Sliding my chair back, I pulled my feet underneath and shakily stood up. Then came the hard part. I turned around. The kitchen was completely empty, but several cabinets were wide open. Cabinets that weren’t open earlier. I
walked around the island, looking for whoever—or whatever—had opened the cabinets. But, there wasn’t anyone hiding and no sign of anyone being there. Except for the open cabinets. That wasn’t the only time strange things happened or ghosts appeared. It happened so often I could write a book about it!
What else do you have in the works? I have a short story publishing Dec. 1 in the anthology, Haunted Yuletide. The publisher is looking to bring back the tradition of Christmas ghost stories. I also have a serial killer thriller that’s set in the Twin Cities publishing in February also from Immortal Works. The back cover copy: Every serial killer has a type. But what if that type is part of a larger, more dangerous agenda? With virtually identical women being murdered in Minnesota, panic is causing huge political pressure to get the killer off the streets. Celebrated investigator Cade Dawkins is given the hot potato case and hopes to get it wrapped up before the governor has his head. But the killer has his own agenda—one that goes beyond simply murdering knockout blondes. As it becomes a cat and mouse game between killer and investigator, Dawkins begins to realize he just may be the mouse.
The power to help change a commnity is in your hands. Your support allows the paper to inform more local residents in a single week than any other medium.

SCHOOL BRIEF
MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOL BOARD NOTES
Woman arrested after drunkenly falling asleep at the wheel When one's blood alcohol content is four times the legal limit, a person ends up doing things such as stopping her vehicle in the middle of a busy highway to go to sleep. A North Oaks woman, 46, faces up to one year imprisonment and/ or a maximum $3,000 fi ne for third degree DWI with an additional count of fourth degree DWI, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 90 days and/or a maximum $1,000 fi ne. At 5:18 a.m. Oct. 16, Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies on patrol on Highway 96 approached Hodgson Road and observed a vehicle pull into the westbound lanes and come to a complete stop. The vehicle between the squad and the stopped vehicle pulled around the blocking vehicle to prevent a T-bone accident. When deputies checked in on the driver of the sleeper vehicle, they noted the suspect's bloodshot, watery eyes and a half empty 750 ml bottle of vodka on the front passenger seat. Deputies had to help the suspect walk due to her inability to balance and her not wearing any shoes. Although the defendant was otherwise incoherent, she did say, "Look, I'm drunk", when asked to perform field sobriety testing. Within two hours, the subject registered a blood alcohol content of .32 at the law enforcement center.
Helping the Homeless Members of Mounds View High School's National Honor Society are hosting a school supply drive to benefit students in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. ““This year, we noticed that it must’ve been very difficult for people experiencing homelessness or poverty to purchase school supplies for their children and have COVID-19 supplies onhand for prevention purposes. For this reason, we organized this event to continue to put our efforts towards helping the community and give students a chance to volunteer despite the ongoing pandemic. Our goal
is to have a direct impact on underprivileged communities and encourage locals to donate supplies that they have an excess of or are not using,” said NHS President Sanjana Pattanaik. From Oct. 26 to Oct. 30, donations of new or gently-used notebooks, folders, pencils and pens will be accepted, as well as hand sanitizer, sanitary wipes and masks. All donations will be given to Simpson Housing. Supplies can be dropped off at Mounds View High School in the Main Commons at the library, as well as curbside at the circle drive near the entrance of the school.
The Mounds View School Board took the following action at its Oct. 20 meeting, held via videoconference: • Heard a presentation on the World's Best Workforce and Achievement and Integration Plan. Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction Angie Peschel and Assistant Director of Assessment Mary Stobb shared strategies and progress for each of the five components of the district's strategic plan: all students meet school readiness goals; all third-grade students achieve grade-level literacy; all students graduate from high school; all students attain college and career readiness; and close achievement gaps for all student groups. The full report is available online at https://www.moundsviewschools. org/cms/lib/MN01909629/Centricity/ Domain/1651/WBWF19-20.pdf. • Heard an update on the district's current learning models and information on reopening schools from Superintendent Chris Lennox. Schools are currently operating in a hybrid model, with students alternately attending class in person and at home through distance learning. • Discussed issues and updates related to the Association of Metropolitan School Districts and Northeast Metro 916. The board next meets at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, for a work session and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, for a regular meeting. Elizabeth Callen

Steve Donatelle opened the iconic neighborhood restaurant in 1976. Due to the pandemic, the ownership and crew have been forced to reinvent many of the restaurant’s processes. They recently completed the installation of a new computer system that greatly streamlines their ability to handle take-out and delivery orders, allows for true contactless delivery of food when requested, and integrates online ordering directly into their kitchen. They recognized early on that to survive this crisis, the ability to handle increased levels of take-out would be crucial. Order online at www.donatellis.com. “When we’re serving people, we’re helping them celebrate special life events with friends and family”, says co – owner Trish Appleby. “We represent a sense of normalcy in these uncertain times”, a reminder of how important our local restaurants are to our communities. Always enthusiastic supporters of the community, one of the most notable programs they have supported for fourteen years is the Willow Lane School Work Program. “The experience has been life changing for some of the kids”, says Trish.
She recalls with pride one student who came from a challenging home life told her, “this is the best day of my life”! In 2008 they were featured on the Food Network hit show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. “That turned things around for us overnight” they say. As a result of the show they have served guests from all fifty states and several countries. Donatelli’s commitment to their employees is noteworthy too. They have seen multiple generations of staff and customers come through over the years and they love following their lives as they have grown and become successful citizens. “Young people learn how to work in this industry” they point out. Both owners recognize that the magic of Donatelli’s is created by their wonderful, dedicated staff and for that they are truly grateful.

Pornouma Marid, or “Oh”, as her regulars call her, grew up in Thailand learning and developing her culinary skills from her mother while working in the family’s restaurant. She moved to White Bear Lake from Thailand in 1997 when she married Bob Kiewel. Oh was confident that her repertoire of authentic Thai dishes, crafted from old family recipes, would appeal to locals looking for authentic Thai food; so she and Bob opened Ban Thai in 2005 and they have been serving up award winning Thai food ever since. Today their teenage daughter is a part of the team as well, making it truly a family affair, just like it was back in Thailand. Several years ago as the challenges of finding and retaining staff became
more and more difficult, the family decided to start focusing more on take out choices; feeling this would be a good way to reduce staffing needs while retaining or even growing their revenues. The move paid off and they have been able to maintain their sales while retaining their many loyal customers that they have cultivated over the past 15 years. Oh is very proud of the loyalty her customers show the family restaurant. Today she knows many of them by name and even knows their favorite dishes. Customers who have moved away still make it a point to stop by and order their favorite dishes when they are visiting the area. If you haven’t tried their Pad Thai, I highly recommend it. Oh likes to point out that all their dishes are made from scratch. Some of their other signature dishes include: several curry dishes; egg rolls that are as good as any; spring rolls; fried rice; soups and wings. The restaurant is currently open Tuesday thru Saturdays, 11:30 am to 7:00 pm

Minnesota students in the class of 2020 earned an average composite score of 21.3 on the ACT college entrance exam. This score placed Minnesota fi rst among the 17 states where 90% or more of students took the exam, despite a 0.1 point drop in average composite score from the 2019 results. Nationally, 49% of 2020 high school graduates took the ACT, earning an average composite score of 20.6. The majority of the class of 2020 took the ACT by fall 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. It is too early to determine how the pandemic will affect ACT testing and scores of future graduating classes. “Minnesota’s future depends on the success of our students today and I’m proud of the accomplishments of the class of 2020,� said Education Commissioner Mary Cathryn Ricker. “We must continue to fi nd ways for our school communities to support all of our students, especially as we work to tackle the disparities in our education system that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

our state are ready for what’s next in their lives after high school, whether that’s career or college.� Thirty percent of Minnesota’s class of 2020 met all four ACT college-readiness benchmarks, which is 4 percentage points higher than the national average. Additionally, 77% of Minnesota students who graduated in 2020 were likely to attain the Silver, Gold or Platinum ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate, compared to 70% nationally. To reach a Silver, Gold or Platinum ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate, students must earn a composite score of 17 or higher on the ACT. Overall, ACT scores for Minnesota’s student groups have remained very close over the past five years, meaning gaps between student groups remain the same.

Cancer survivor thankful for journey Although it’s important to have open conversation about our struggles, no one wants to be defined by their darkest days. That is exactly what a White Bear Lake woman has been doing. Melissa Martyr-Wagner is a three-time breast cancer survivor. Not only that, but she and her husband have their own business, and for much of her journey she has continued working and living life as usual, not defined by her diagnoses. “I don’t want cancer to change the course of my life,” Martyr-Wagner said. Martyr-Wagner was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 during a routine visit. She worked to keep the diagnosis a little private. For instance, she had a separate private Facebook account where she posted about her cancer journey, rather than on her personal account. It was a statement that her cancer journey and her identity were not one and the same, but they intertwine. “For some reason when you have cancer you spend a lot of time comforting other people,” MartyrWagner said. When she was first diagnosed, she has stage 0, which she considered lucky. She had radiation and a lumpectomy. “I didn’t really have it in my family so I wasn’t really worried about it coming back,” Martyr-Wagner said. In 2013 they were surprised to find that she had the same kind of cancer

again, but on her left side. This time it was stage 1. “With both of these first two cancers we did lumpectomies followed by radiation. The chances of having a recurrence like that is kind of unusual,” Martyr-Wagner said. This is especially shocking since Martyr-Wagner was tested for the BRCA gene, the one that can indicate an increased risk of breast cancer. She tested negative both times. “In 2017 they found my third breast cancer on the right side, and it was a completely different kind,” MartyrWagner said. This time it was stage 2, and she had a double mastectomy (the removal of both breasts) and underwent chemotherapy and immunotherapy. While the disease attempted to leave its mark on Martyr-Wagner, she had other plans: reconstruction. “I just wanted to be able to be back out on the lake after all of this,” Martyr-Wagner said. She wanted a return to normalcy, or as normal as possible. When you have cancer and lose your hair, Martyr-Wagner explained, people you barely know will notice the change and start talking about it with you. Martyr-Wagner didn’t want to be known as the woman with cancer or the woman who had cancer, she just wanted to be Melissa. Martyr-Wagner noted that reconstruction was one of the hardest parts of the whole process. She had three reconstructive surgeries, one of which took nine hours and included taking some skin from her stomach.

Despite all of the hardship she endured, Melissa credits her friends with helping to lift her spirits through it all. “I had an awful lot of support. When I was going to chemo my friends set up a sign up sheet where they would come with me. We just made it fun,” Martyr-Wagner said. During the time she was battling cancer, she and her husband opened their own business, New Studio Architecture, in 2011. They first opened near the Kowalski’s in White Bear Lake, and later moved to St. Paul. “My husband was at another firm for quite a long time. I thought he had a great business mind. I just thought it would be great if we could put the places we want to work and the places we don’t want to work into

practice,” Martyr-Wagner said. They created a business that values their employees and their time. She continued to work and to persevere through her illness. She also lives life with a bit of a new motto given her close calls in the past, even before her cancer diagnoses. “I had a roll over car accident once. I just think it’s really important to not save all of the good wine in your cupboard and whatnot because you never know what day will be your last,” Martyr-Wagner said. That is how she lives – enjoying an active life of sailing, tennis and spending time with friends and family. Perhaps at this point, no struggle will define her.

State adding antigen test results to online COVID-19 data
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) will begin posting on its website COVID-19 cases detected using new antigen testing equipment approved by the FDA under an emergency use authorization. In posting these cases, MDH is following the guidance of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) – the independent professional body that determines case definitions for the country. CSTE guidance subsequently affirmed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) indicated that someone who has a positive antigen test for COVID-19 should be considered a probable case. The guidance comes amid reports that the antigen tests have lower accuracy than the “goldstandard” polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test process. However, the cases will receive the same level of case investigation and followup as cases confirmed using the PCR test. Antigen testing is a technology used to determine whether someone is actively infected with COVID-19,
just like the lab-based PCR tests that to this point have been the primary testing systems used in the COVID-19 response. One advantage of antigen tests is that they generate results more quickly than the traditional PCR method. Another advantage is that they can be used by providers who do not have a full laboratory set up to do testing. Even with these advantages, there are some drawbacks. Antigen tests are not considered to be as reliable as PCR tests. The U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services has provided large numbers of antigen tests to longterm care facilities to conduct the frequent testing required by the federal officials, but it is not clear whether the antigen testing devices provided to states by the federal government are sufficiently accurate when used to test people without symptoms. “Federal officials have embraced antigen tests and are aggressively encouraging states and institutions across the country to use them,” Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm said. “We believe it’s a good idea to add this equipment to our toolkit as long as we keep the information in proper context. Our goal is to work with long-term care facilities and others who’ve received these devices to make sure they are used in the most accurate and effective manner, and to learn more about this testing method as we go.” MDH Infectious Disease Director Kris
Ehresmann welcomed the new testing tool while also emphasizing that testing is part of a comprehensive COVID-19 response that includes the tried-and-true prevention measures. “It is very important to understand that testing — even rapid testing — is not a substitute for other preventative actions,” Ehresmann said. “Tests can have false positives or negatives, and people can develop illness after they are tested. Even as we continue to expand our testing capacity in Minnesota, people still need to continue to socially distance, wear masks, avoid crowds, wash their hands and stay home if sick.” Antigen tests were first approved for use by the FDA in May, and CSTE updated the case definition for COVID-19 in August to include antigen testing and considering them a probable case. MDH received laboratory reporting of the fi rst antigen test results in June. The data on antigen
testing shown on the MDH website will be added to the information the department currently reports. Total tests, total cases, total cases by county and test positivity will be broken out by PCR/ confi rmed and antigen/ probable. Demographic data on cases will continue to be combined and include antigen test results. The initial posting will include antigen testing data going back to Sept. 1. MDH cautions that with the new testing devices going out to many facilities not as accustomed to reporting disease data to public health officials, there may be some initial challenges with timely and thorough reporting to the department. To help reduce the chance of delays and inaccuracies, the department is developing a robust set of guidance for those using antigen testing equipment.

Mustangs nip Mahtomedi in duel of tennis powers in finale BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
There was no state tennis tournament this year but the clash between Mounds View and Mahtomedi to conclude the 2020 season displayed all the skills and drama you’d want in a state final four match. The two unbeatens pounded at each other down to the final seconds Wednesday, with crisp autumn leaves whipping past their sneakers in bursts of cold October wind, before Elayna Bartels pulled out the Section 4AA championship for Mounds View. The host Mustangs prevailed over the Zephyrs, 4-3, for the second straight year, by the same score, completing this pandemic-shortened season 14-0. Mahtomedi finished 13-1. The team score was knotted at 3-3 when Mahtomedi’s Kate Hoffman and Kayla Meslow capped a three-set win at No. 3 doubles. That left the outcome in the hands of Bartels and Mahtomedi’s Mari Meger. When 3-doubles ended, Meger had a 1-0 lead. They jousted for another 45 minutes. Their teammates and coaches, along with dozens of parents and students, all bundled up, surrounded the court, hanging on every serve and volley. Meger led 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 and 5-4, and had a 40-15 edge on match point. However, Bartels dug in. She delivered on every shot after that and edged ahead while Meger lapsed into some errors. Bartels wrapped up a 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 decision. “It was nerve wracking, but I couldn’t show her that,” said Bartels about her familiar rival. “Mari started making mistakes. She double faulted at least twice,
and she has a great serve.” When the match ended on an unforced error, Bartels finally showed some emotion. “I was tearing up, even before I got to the net for the handshake,” said Bartels, who then disappeared amid a mob of joyous teammates. A year ago, the same two girls also were the last match completed in the section finals, but Mounds View already had four points, so their third set was a tiebreaker, which Meger won. This time, with the match undecided, a full set was required. “I think that helped me,” Bartels said. Bartels finished her senior season unbeaten, after losing only to Meger and an Edina girl her junior year. Mounds View’s other points came from Katia Bartels (Elena’s twin) at 3-singles, and their top two doubles teams — Molly Austen and Ella Roesler at No. 1, and Katerina Smiricinschi and Annika Lindgren at No. 2. Mahtomedi breezed to straight-set wins by Lauren Splett and Annika Munson at No. 1 and 2 singles for a quick 2-0 lead, then had to wait a long time before their 3-dubs team got them another win. Last year, Mahtomedi beat Mounds View in the regular season but the Mustangs took the all-important rematch, then placed third in the state tournament. Both were ranked in the top five in 2020, and would have been again this year but no rankings were kept by the coaches association, due to schedules being limited to conference matches under MSHSL pandemic rules. “Mahtomedi is one of the few teams we play that has a lot of really good players. We have been big rivals,” said Bartels. It was the third consecutive section

crown for Mahtomedi and a great one for their six seniors to quit on. “I am incredibly proud of these girls and this team,” said coach Scott Sundstrom. He praised the group’s integrity, team-first mentality, and support for each other. He has coached most of them since childhood. “They worked hard throughout the season on improving their games. We focused on specific things in doubles (pouching, movement, recovery) and in singles (consistency and approaching the net). Both of those played dividends in the end.” The Mustangs are also successful in the classroom with an average GPA of 3.98, he noted.
“It has been a privilege to coach this team and I am ecstatic that we went out with a win,” Sundstom said.

Waverly Thao, Mounds View volleyball setter, notched the 1,000th assist of her career during Mustangs opening win at White Bear Lake on Oct. 8. Thao, a senior, has been setting on varsity for four years. “She is the quarterback of our 5-1 offense. She’s the one that makes everything go,” coach Tom Weko said, adding that she “consistently puts hitters in a position to be successful” with her knack for knowing which hitter to set up based on what the defense is doing. Thao is also a strong server. Thao has a “very high volleyball IQ” and would make a great coach someday, g y Weko said.

All fall state meets and tournaments were called off due to concerns about the pandemic, so the sectional ended the season. Mounds View was state champion last year. Most of that squad graduated.

Weather tidbits
Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com
I don't know about you, but I had Christmas songs breaking out in my head this past week. Last week's snowfall (which totaled 6.5 inches) made it seem like Christmas was this weekend and not Halloween. The snow slowed yard work as many trees are still holding their leaves and house gutters are now clogged with leaves and ice. We'll have a warm-up for this weekend which should allow us time to rake the yard and clean out the gutters. Temperatures will still struggle to average close to normal.

Waterfowl hunters reminded to avoid spreading aquatic invasive species
With the Minnesota hunting season underway, it is important for waterfowl hunters to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Invasive species such as purple loosestrife, zebra mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil and faucet snails can be transported in waterfowl hunters' boats, decoys, blind material and other equipment without the proper precautions. "Hunters should take a few minutes to clean plants and mud and drain water from duck boats, decoys, decoy lines, waders and push poles," said Eric Katzenmeyer, DNR invasive species specialist. "It's the key to avoiding the spread of aquatic invasive species in waterfowl habitat." Invasive species can damage habitat for waterfowl, fish and other wildlife, and can even cause waterfowl die-offs. For example, faucet snails can carry parasites that kill ducks. The DNR recommends the following
to help slow the spread of aquatic invasive species: • Use elliptical, bulb-shaped or strap decoy anchors
• Drain water and remove all plants and animals from boats and equipment • Remove all plants and animals from anchor lines and blind materials • Check compartments or storage in boats or kayaks that aren’t in use the rest of the year Also, waterfowl hunters who want to use cattails or other plants for camouflage must cut them above the water line if they want to move them from lake to lake. They should not cut or move the seedheads of emergent non-native phragmites, a restricted noxious weed in Minnesota also known as common reed. To kill or remove invasive species seeds or young zebra mussels that are
difficult to see, the DNR recommends that boaters use a high-pressure spray or a hot water rinse before launching into another water body (120 degrees F for at least two minutes or 140 degrees F for at least 10 seconds). Air drying can also be effective, but may require more time due to cooler weather. Waterfowl hunters aren’t the only ones who should be vigilant about the spread of invasive species. Trappers also should clean their equipment before moving it to another body of water. “Trappers of muskrats and other furbearers should also keep the ‘Clean in-Clean out’ mantra in mind,” said DNR invasive species specialist Tim Plude. “All traps, lines, boots and waders should be cleaned after each use to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.” More information is available at mndnr.gov/ais.
Court of Appeals rules that Minnesota schools must allow students to use locker rooms that align with their gender identity
The Minnesota Court of Appeals issued a landmark decision that Minnesota schools must allow students to use locker rooms that align with their gender identity under the state’s civil rights law. This ruling comes after the Minnesota Department of Human Rights joined a lawsuit against the Anoka-Hennepin School District and School Board, the largest district in the state, for unlawfully forcing N.H., a transgender student, to use a segregated locker room based solely on his gender identity. “This decision means that schools are now safer and more welcoming for transgender and gender nonconforming students across Minnesota,” said Minnesota Department of Human Rights Deputy Commissioner Irina Vaynerman. “Our state was the first in the nation to
prohibit gender identity discrimination. Today’s decision honors that legacy and continues to build a more equitable and inclusive Minnesota.” In a powerful opinion, the court held that it is unlawful to require transgender students to use a locker room that is inconsistent with their gender identity. The court recognized that "students should not be required to 'shop' among schools and districts to obtain a discrimination-free education," because "[s]chools play a pivotal role in a young person's development and intellectual, mental, and emotional health." As the court noted, the facts in the case are undisputed. N.H. used the boys’ locker room without issue after he joined the boys’ swim team at Coon Rapids High School during the 2015-16 school year. The following year, the district
required him to use an entirely separate and segregated locker room and threatened to discipline N.H. if he did not use the separate room. By segregating N.H. to a separate changing space, the Anoka-Hennepin School District violated the Minnesota Human Rights Act, which prohibits gender identity discrimination in schools. The Sept. 28 ruling by the Minnesota Court of Appeals comes on the heels of the historic U.S. Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia and additional federal court cases this summer that affirmed that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under federal law.

National Bullying Prevention Month: Prevention tips
It is easier for someone to cyberbully anonymously; youth are isolated and looking to make connections. And youth see each and every day during this election how adults are “bullying” each other over their thoughts, ideas and beliefs. Here are some tips for preventing bullying for children and youth that were developed based on YMCA’s work serving youth and families by Jenny Collins, executive director of the University Y and Beacons. 1. Model empathy and connect with people of all backgrounds and experiences. Bullies may target people based on race, ability or perceived difference. Encourage youth to build relationships with people across differences and to practice considering the feelings and experiences of others. 2. Encourage specific caring behavior when you see it! Instead of praise (“Good job!”), offer specific feedback on their efforts (“I saw you working really hard to problem-solve with your friend on Google Classrooms even though you were getting frustrated!”). 3. Talk about current events with youth and help them consider how they can show caring and empathy towards others. Discuss injustice in this country
now and throughout history, and share stories of changemakers who worked and are working to make our country live up to its values. 4. Be engaged with the media (news, social media, YouTube etc.) your young person is consuming. Limit screen time so young people can have a break from social pressures and the stress of current events. 5. Connect your child to more positive adults they can trust. Nurture their relationship with their classroom teacher so they feel comfortable telling them if bullying is happening in the classroom. Family members, YMCA camp counselors, sports coaches and school staff can become additional important adults that youth can confide in if they are being bullied or are engaging in bullying. If you are limiting contact with some of these adults due to COVID-19, consider finding ways to still provide time remotely (Zoom call with an aunt/ uncle or virtual therapy, for example). 6. Support wellness through practicing mindfulness. Today’s complex world and all of the emotions that we experience can be a lot for youth and adults to manage. Take time for wellness and mindfulness for you and your child/
teen. Practice breathing, spend time outside, do yoga, or adopt other strategies to relieve stress and calm emotions. 7. Talk with (not AT) your child or teen. Side-by-side discussion can work better than face-to-face: for example, on a walk around the block or while cooking together. Try questions like, “What is one time you felt great today and one time you felt bad?” Try not to react immediately but keep your face calm and continue to ask questions if you hear something upsetting. 8. Have direct conversations about bullying periodically. “Do you feel safe at school (online or in person)?” and “Do you know what bullying is? Have you seen it happen or experienced it?” may be important questions for them to hear, even if they don’t always give you much of a response. 9. Seek resources and destigmatize mental health concerns. Bullying can lead to depression and anxiety. If our families can’t talk openly about mental health challenges experienced by so many youth and adults in our society, this can further the sense of isolation. From press release

City to host discussion series on race The Shoreview Human Rights Commission and the Ramsey County Library are hosting a discussion series on race which begins next month. The series, “It's Time To Talk About Race,” will be held virtually on Zoom throughout the coming months. The fi rst session, “Let's Get Uncomfortable,” will focus on alk about racism, its consequences, and how we all share the responsibility to do the work for change. The conversation will be facilitated by The Theater of Public Policy and take place Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. Space is limited to 40 participants each session, and advance registration is required. The program will not be recorded and will be structured as a small group interactive discussion. Those interested in participating can register online at www. shoreviewmn.gov/HRC. The program is funded in part with money from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Submitted
71% of youth believe substance use has increased during COVID-19 Know the Truth (KTT), the substance use prevention program of Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, is adapting its curriculum for the 2020-21 academic year. In addition to incorporating information on the latest youth substance use trends such as vaping, the program is also addressing the specific needs of Gen Z and adding virtual capabilities. Schools now have the option to host in-person presentations, live virtual presentations or virtual presentations that students can access at any time. “Every year our presenters speak at more than 160 high schools and middle schools throughout the state, reaching an estimated 60,000 students,” says Mika Nervick, prevention program coordinator for Know the Truth. “While we will no longer be in person at every school, our virtual capabilities are allowing us to reach even more students across the state, including in outstate Minnesota, where we have not been able to hold presentations previously.” Prevention education is proving to be more important than ever during the twin crises of COVID-19 and social unrest. In a survey of youth conducted over the summer, Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge found that 71% believe that youth substance use has increased during COVID-19. Additionally, over half of youth reported using or considering using substances to cope with mental health struggles and 47% have used or thought about using a new substance since the start of the pandemic. Since the Know the Truth program began more than a decade ago, it has seen significant success in helping prevent substance use among Minnesota’s young people. The program utilizes a peer-to-peer format, where Know the Truth presenters — often just a few years older than the students — share their personal struggles with substance use. During the 2019-20 school year, Know the Truth conducted surveys following presentations. After hearing the presentation, 87% of students said they would not use tobacco or nicotine until the legal age of use, and 71% would not use alcohol before age 21. In addition to classroom presentations, students are encouraged to seek continued dialogue with the presenters through social media, reaching out to @knowthetruthmn on Twitter, and through the text hotline at 612-4403967.
