Artful hibernation renditions

Minnesotans know their way around ice — about 775,000 pounds of ice, to be exact. That impressive poundage belongs to this year’s ice palace maze at the Zephyr Theatre, which opens Jan. 15 and runs until Feb. 20. Weather permitting, the ice palace will remain open until the 28th. The Stillwater tradition lives on, but this time with even more ice than last year, totaling in 2,900 blocks of ice. Since this year’s maze is bigger, so is the much anticipated ice slide at the maze’s exit.

Perhaps expressing similar sentiments and thoughts many of us may have during the cold month of January, students at Vadnais Heights Elementary School, above and at right, recently created artwork depicting a grizzly bear preparing for winter hibernation.

Stay Safe while enjoying frozen lakes BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Along with winter come snow and cold, essential components of the many wintertime Minnesota activities. Ice anglers flock by the thousands to lakes, along with snowmobilers, skiers, skaters and others.

Some find it hard to wait. Because ice thickness can vary widely on any body of water, venturing out early increases the odds of breaking through. Taking precautions, however, can make that first trip a bit safer. • When possible, stay near shore where water is

shallow. Keep away from creek and river inlets, as well as known springs and beaver lodges. • Bring ice picks for traction in case of unexpected immersion. There are many on the market designed to hang MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES | CONTRIBUTED

Holiday greenery adds joy in the darkest, coldest season. When the holidays are over, there are several local options to properly dispose of Christmas trees. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources warns households to dispose of their tree properly to prevent the spread of invasive species from outside the state. Pests of concern include elongate hemlock scale, a small insect established in the eastern U.S. where many decorative Fraser firs are grown. Feeding damage from this invasive insect can cause the needles of hemlocks, firs and spruces to yellow and prematurely drop. Also, boxwood blight and Oriental bittersweet, sometimes found on wreaths and centerpieces, can endanger native trees and other landscaping. More information on these threats can be found at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) website at www.mda.state.mn.us/holidaygreenery. To protect the local environment, the state is asking residents to properly dispose of greenery and trees after the holiday season. The DNR has recommended the following guidelines: • The best option is to use a curbside tree collection or bring to a designated dropoff site. Check with your waste hauler, city or county to see what services are offered in your area. • Do not toss trees and greenery into backyard woods or your residential compost pile, which could allow hitchhiking pests to escape. • Wreaths and other decorative greens can be disposed in trash cans. If your city or county does not have an organized pickup or dropoff, the last resort would be to burn the greens. Always check with local ordinances first and follow them. If you suspect that your greenery or tree may be infested with an invasive insect or disease, contact the MDA’s Arrest the Pest line at 1-888-545-6684 or arrest.the.pest@ state.mn.us. See below for a list of tree dropoff sites in your area. These sites have varied hours of operation. Many are free to residents, but some charge a fee. Check ahead of time by visiting your county website or calling the collection site. Ramsey County Christmas trees can be brought to Ramsey County yard waste collection sites that accept trees and branches, where they will then be mulched. Participating yard waste sites include Arden Hills, Frank and Sims, Midway and White Bear Township. Please remove all decorations, lights, wire, tinsel and tree bags. Flocked trees are not accepted and may be placed in the trash. All sites are free and open to Ramsey County residents; photo ID required. All sites except Midway can be used by Washington County residents for free. Collection sites are open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Call the Ramsey County Recycling and Disposal hotline with questions at 651-633-3279. • Arden Hills Yard Waste Collection Site: 3530 Hudson Ave., Arden Hills, MN 55112 • Frank and Sims Yard Waste Collection Site: 1150 Sims Ave., St. Paul, MN 55106 • Midway Yard Waste Collection Site: 1943 Pierce Butler Route, St. Paul, MN 55114 • White Bear Township Yard Waste Collection Site: 5900 Sherwood Road, St. Paul, MN 55126

The Minnesota Department of Health is encouraging parents to talk to caregivers, whether it be a grandparent or a babysitter, about the ABCs of safe sleep. Data consistently has shown that unsafe sleep environments account for nearly all unexpected infant deaths in Minnesota. Every year, 50 or more Minnesota babies die suddenly and unexpectedly, and nearly all those tragic deaths happen in an unsafe sleep environment. State health department analysis of the 100 sudden unexpected infant deaths in 2018 and 2019 found that 93% were sleep-related and happened in unsafe sleep environments, according to preliminary data. A key takeaway for parents and other caregivers is to know the ABCs of safe sleep: • ALONE: Infants should always sleep or nap alone. • BACK: Always put a baby on their back to sleep or nap. • CRIB: Babies should always sleep or nap in their own safety-approved crib or play yard without blankets or pillows. “Safe sleep practices are essential for all child care providers, whether they be full time, part time or friends and family just watching a baby for an evening or afternoon,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “We need to give all families and those caring for an infant the education and the supports they need to create a safe sleeping environments, such as a dedicated crib, for infants.” After the 2013 implementation of new standards and training requirements for safe sleep practices, deaths in licensed child care have decreased significantly. In recent years, the number of all infant child care deaths, sleep-related and otherwise, have stayed below three a year since the standards went into effect, compared to before the standards were implemented, when there were at least six infant child care deaths each year during the years 20082012, and 12 in 2008. The health department review of infant deaths found that soft items such as blankets, pillows, crib bumpers and toys in the crib pose a hazard, as does exposure to cigarette smoke. It is also important for infants to sleep separately from other sleeping children and adults, since research has found that keeping infants in bed with others is hazardous. One positive alternative is co-rooming, where the baby sleeps in their own safety-approved crib, bassinette or play yard but is nearby for breastfeeding and nighttime diaper changes. A safe sleeping environment is just as important during naptime as it is during nighttime sleeping. Instead of using blankets to keep infants warm, parents are urged to dress babies in pajamas or other clothing appropriate for the temperature. As always, parents should talk with a doctor or nurse if they have questions or concerns.

Heroes of the pandemic

hen we take a step back and look at how hospitals handled the pandemic, they ramped up to accept COVID cases by delaying elective surgeries. The result was massive lay-offs of staff doing elective surgeries. Once hospitals needed to hire back staff, many came from nursing homes and care centers, leaving those facilities short-staffed. Now patients are unable to be moved from hospitals to nursing homes or transitional units because they don’t have the staff, so hospitals are again overwhelmed. Additionally, nurses are being paid, quite well in many cases, to be traveling nurses in the areas hardest hit by the pandemic. Doctors, nurses, emergency room workers and staff are exhausted. Now there is a new surge of people who are getting sick with the Omicron variant. Within the past several weeks, we have heard of more friends and family members who have been sick — some fully vaccinated, some not — than at any other point of the pandemic. This virus is so unpredictable with who it affects. We have known people who have been really healthy getting extremely ill, while others with signiﬁcant risk factors seem to breeze through it with few to no symptoms. Throughout it all, the doctors, nurses, nursing home aides and other health care staff have endured extremely long hours of intense mental and physical strain. They have witnessed more death and trauma in the past two years than they could have imagined in a lifetime. These front line workers are heroes. Pastors and clergy have also navigated more deaths and mental health issues Publisher’s caused by the pandemic than ever before. They are at the bedsides of dying patients, View and counselors for grieving families. I am Carter Johnson thankful for the support our local churches provide to our community. I continue to hear how churches have been inviting and welcoming to families in need, providing food, clothing, short term ﬁnancial assistance, and shelter. They are there to offer prayers and counseling for people in any situation, from the loss of a loved one to a job transition. In some cases, people who have never stepped foot in a church are thankful that their mother, father, brother or sister could have a funeral service when no other options were available. Local funeral homes have also navigated this time with caring staff to help walk family and friends through the loss of loved ones. Our team at the Press has worked hard over the past year and a half to help families with obituary notices. Often an obituary is the last words written about a person. Our team carefully reads and often makes recommendations to produce an obituary that honors the deceased and is meaningful to those who are left behind. Recently one family told us they received many cards from their mom’s friends because we had sent the obituary to be published in the community paper that served the area where their Wisconsin lake cabin was. Take time to thank those who are serving above and beyond. Be patient when you witness someone doing or saying something unusual, as it’s hard to know where people are coming from or who is struggling during these times. Remember the old adage about not judging until you walk a mile in someone shoes. Let’s slow down and spend quality time with those who are important to us. And when we make mistakes, let’s try to be forgiving. I’m pretty sure this week I have pulled out in front of somebody, turned without signaling, and made a snappy comment to a family member, friend or colleague. We all need to give, and receive, gratitude and grace.

Share ideas for climate resiliency

our parents might be exaggerating when they talk about walking two miles to school in the middle of a blizzard, up-hill in both directions. But, if you feel like Minnesota winters don’t pack the punch they used to, it isn’t your imagination. Data collected at weather stations around Minnesota shows that the average annual temperature our state Movers & in has increased by 2.9°F Shakers since 1895, a warming trend Angie Hong that is most pronounced during the winter. Observations of ice-on and ice-off on lakes around the state also show that we have lost two weeks per year of ice coverage in the past 50 years, and three weeks over the last century. Warmer weather doesn’t just mean fewer days of ice ﬁshing, it also means more frequent blue-green algae blooms during the summer time, fewer deep freezes to kill invasive species like emerald ash borer, and changes in plant and animal communities as species such as walleye, opossum, and even maple trees migrate north toward a cooler climate. As Minnesota’s climate warms, it is also getting wetter. The average annual rainfall is up by 3.4 inches since 1895, and “mega rains” that bring more than 6-inches of rain across more than 1000 square miles are becoming increasingly common.

As a result, communities are having to update stormwater management requirements and retrofit old pipes and ponds to guard against flooding. Currently, the Walz-Flanagan Administration is asking Minnesotans to share ideas on how to best respond to our changing climate. The state has set up a website to provide information and collect ideas from the public related to: 1) Investing in clean transportation; 2) Protecting our natural and working lands; 3) Creating stronger, resilient communities; 4) Moving to clean energy and efficient buildings; and 5) Promoting health, equity, and a strong economy (climate. state.mn.us/ideas-lead-boldaction). Within each topic category, the public is encouraged to react to potential goals and share suggestions for additional actions the state could take. Most suggestions, such as “enhancing biological diversity and protecting habitat corridors on 350,000 acres of natural and working lands,” are ones that would provide multiple benefits. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, an acre of grassland can hold as much as 78 tons of carbon while an acre of mature evergreen forest can hold as much as 140 tons of carbon. In addition, forests and grasslands also provide wildlife habitat and allow rain and melting snow to soak into the ground instead of running off and causing downstream flooding. Other state-led actions could support work that is already happening at a local level. For example, South Washington Watershed District convened a

series of workshops with city staff and community leaders in 2017 that led to the development of a Climate Resiliency Plan. The plan considers a wide range of climate challenges, including the need to replace outdated stormwater pipes and raise roads in ﬂood-prone locations; strategies to avoid drawing down aquifers used for drinking water; loss of habitat and increasing abundance of invasive species in natural areas; and more frequent algal blooms. State funding could help to support similar climate resiliency planning in other Minnesota communities. If you would like to help collect data on Minnesota’s changing climate, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is currently looking for additional lake ice reporters. This is an easy volunteer activity that just requires people to report the ice-on and ice-off for their lakes each winter. To sign up, go to www.pca.state.mn.us/water/ lake-ice-reporting-program.

Snowmobile season here, most trails not groomed yet While recent snow in parts of Minnesota has many snowmobile enthusiasts excited to take their first ride of the season, most of the state’s trails are not yet groomed and ready to ride, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Riders can expect to find uneven conditions and should check local trail reports before venturing out. Several conditions must be met before trails can be groomed:

• The ground must be frozen. Where trails cross wetlands, 15 inches of ice is needed to support the weight of the trail groomers. • Adequate snow cover, about 12 inches, must be on the ground to allow for trail packing and grooming. • Trails must be cleared of fallen trees, signs have to be put in place and gates need to be opened. Snowmobile club volunteers and DNR staff are currently working

on these tasks. While snowmobilers wait for grooming to start, now is a good time to make sure registrations are current, confirm that snowmobiles are in good operating order, review safety training and check local trail maps for route changes or new trails. Registrations for new snowmobiles may be purchased in person at any deputy registrar of motor vehicles or at the DNR License Center in St. Paul. Registration

renewals and out-of-state trail stickers may be purchased in person or online at mndnr.gov/ licenses. Local trail conditions are often posted online by local tourism associations, chambers of commerce and volunteer snowmobile clubs. Contacts for DNR-funded, locally managed trails can be found online at dnr.state.mn.us/snowmobiling/ index.html. State park and trail conditions are also posted there. Local snowmobile clubs

welcome volunteers to assist with annual trail preparations like removing brush and fallen trees, holding snowmobile safety classes and stocking trailside shelters with firewood. To find the nearest club, visit the Minnesota United Snowmobilers Association website at mnsnowmobiler.org. Contributed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

Lyngblomsten launches Memory Collective Lyngblomsten is launching a new educational enrichment class called the Memory Collective for adults who are living at home and

experiencing memory loss. The online class, which will begin in February, offers participants a supportive community where they will discover ways to keep living their best life possible. There will be four Memory Collective classes in 2022; each one lasts eight weeks. For the first seven weeks, the participant and one optional guest (friend, family member, spouse) will gather virtually with others for a 90-minute online Zoom session facilitated by Lyngblomsten staff. Each session will feature a variety of educational topics and activities, as well as time for participants to share their life experiences as they learn from each other and build a social group. After the online series concludes, the group will come together for an in-person outing at a local destination (museum, park) based on the class theme. The first eight-week Memory Collective class begins the week of Feb. 1 and its theme will be Minnesota Fun Facts. Three additional eight-week classes of the Memory Collective are planned for 2022. For

County will receive funds to provide shelter, services Washington County will receive $320,000 from the Minnesota Department of Human Services to provide shelter and other services for those experiencing homelessness. The program provides funding for emergency shelter operations and support services. The county will use the funds to continue to support a hotel emergency shelter program.

Free Radon Testing January is National Radon Action Month, and free test kids are available to Washington County residents. A radon test is the only way to find out how much radon is in a home. Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible, odorless gas that comes from the soil. Radon gas is common throughout Minnesota, and can enter a home anywhere there is an opening between the home and the soil. Long term exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer. Short-term radon test kits can be picked up at the Stillwater Government Center,14949 62nd Street N.; the Washington County Environmental Center, 4039 Cottage Grove Drive, Woodbury; and the Northern Yard Waste Site, 5527 170th Street N., Hugo. For hours and contact information, visit co.washington.mn.us/2481/HealthyHomes. Ramsey County residents can purchase a short-term radon test kit for $2 by mail-order. Order forms can be found online at ramseycounty. us/residents/health-medical/healthy-homes/ radon.

Michigan men use debit card that isn’t Two men from Flint, Michigan, 22 and 23, each face a maximum five years imprisonment and/or a maximum $10,000 fine for felony swindling of a business after they presented a card at the checkout counter of a business from which funds could not be deducted. But the Walmart cashier didn’t know that. On Dec. 5, the two suspects brought items totaling $1,227.89 to the checkout register at the Vadnais Heights Walmart in the 800 block of County Road E and presented a cash card as payment. However, no money was deducted from the card. Surveillance video showed one of the suspects instructing the cashier on how to complete the transaction to pretend that money was taken off the card when it wasn’t. The two men then pushed their cart filled with merchandise to a Buick LaCrosse bearing Michigan license plates. When the store’s loss prevention personnel recognized that a scam had taken place, they contacted Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies, who stopped the Buick and detained the two suspects. Loss prevention personnel explained what had just happened. A certain type of debit card used in this type of scam has instructions to scan all items, insert the chip card and conduct a two-step verification in which the clerk presses two amounts that result in the drawer opening for cash payment from the customer and a receipt being printed out. But scammers have figured out how to make it only appear as if payment had been taken from the card so that a receipt can be printed. The cashier is supposed to receive cash from the customer, but the scammer convinces the cashier that the amount due was already taken from the card. Scammers target new cashiers who are not aware of this type of payment and that they must make sure they actually receive cash from the customer. Both men denied purchasing anything from Walmart. The store indicated that both suspects, as well as their Buick, were involved in two similar incidents at a Walmart in Columbus, Georgia. One of the suspects also had a warrant out for his arrest in Michigan for possession of a firearm and for domestic assault.

Hugo young adult writer becomes storyteller “Better Luck This Time” is Hugo resident Brooke Nelson’s second young adult suspense novel in “The Half Theft” duology. Press Publications recently sat down with Hugo resident Brooke Nelson to find out more about her recent release of the second young adult suspense novel “Better Luck This Time” in “The Half Theft” duology. Nelson is currently enrolled at Century College and working toward a bachelor’s degree in business. Q. How many novels have you written? A. “Better Luck This Time” is the second of two young adult suspense novels I have penned in “The Half Theft” duology. I published its predecessor on Nov. 1, 2020. Q. What inspired you to write this duology? A. I could create a mile-long list of the specifics of my inspiration for “The Half Theft,” but to put it simply, the idea of becoming a storyteller appealed to me. I’ve spent years devouring and doting on everyone else’s stories, whether they be told through ink on paper or through actors on a screen. A few years ago, it finally struck me that I have a million sources of inspiration

in my head and no outlet for them. Why not put some to good use? Q. Provide a brief overview of the main characters and plot. A. “The Half Theft” chronicles the story of a young man, Charlie, who becomes entangled in the schemes of the city’s most dangerous criminal family. While on a mission to recover his missing best friend, Elle, he builds an alliance with two cops and a member of the very family he tries most to evade. “Better Luck This Time” picks up right where the former book left off, and follows he and his allies’ last stand to save the city and their lives. Q. What do you hope readers will gain from the story? A. I hope to pass on to my readers just a bit of the joy I have experienced from others’ stories over the years. Everyone should have the opportunity to find a story that truly resonates with them, and characters they can fall in love with. As simple as it sounds, that’s one of the small things in life I will never get enough of. Q. Who are your favorite authors? A. It seems I develop a love for a new author every day lately, but my all-

time favorites would have to be Frank Herbert (of “The Dune Chronicles”), Patrick Ness (of the “Chaos Walking” trilogy) and Leigh Bardugo (of the “Grisha” trilogy).

ICE MAZE: Explore twisty passages through medieval—themed castle FROM PAGE 1

“It’s the largest ice maze in the US. There’s a lot of ice castles out there, but this is one of the few ice mazes you can walk through. With the sun shining through the ice and so much ice in one place it’s really quite lovely to see,” Executive Director Calyssa Hall said. Plans for the maze’s layout were finalized in mid-December by maze architect Franz Hall who selects his favorite maze design based on research he has done on maze psychology, which determines what will make for the most interesting maze for visitors. Each twist and turn is part of a well thought out process that is supposed to align with the most logical pathway to get out of the maze. Inspired by the notion of an “ice palace,” this year, the Zephyr Theatre chose a medieval castle theme for the maze. Two large ice dragons will meet visitors at the maze’s entrance and princes, princesses and mythical characters will roam around the palace with the guests. In the past the ice palace maze hasn’t had a specific theme, but Hall notes that in the future, visitors can expect themed

IF YOU GO:

Hours: The Ice Palace Maze is open 7 days a week, beginning Jan. 15. Hours are 2 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets: Admission for children ages 5-12 is $12 in advance or $14 at the gate; adult admission is $20 in advance or $22 at the gate. Children 4 and under and adults 100 or over are free. Purchase tickets in advance at icepalacemaze.com. mazes every year. “I’m excited to see families come back each year and for the fun of people getting lost in the maze. It’s a fun family winter event,” Hall said. Sustaining members of the Zephyr theater will get to see a sneak preview of the theater’s hard work and careful planning on Jan. 14. “Seeing kids run toward the entrance of the maze kind of brings together the idea that we are a theater and we do arts and events. And to see kids get that first glimpse of the maze and get excited as they run toward the entrance makes it all the more worth it,” Hall said.

ICE SAFETY: More than not falling through FROM PAGE 1

around the neck; Clam Outdoors (a Minnesota company) makes a pair with floating handles. Nails or screwdrivers—secured in a chest pocket—can work in lieu of picks. If you are in a group, consider bringing a throw rope. • Seal cell phones in zippered plastic bags and secure them in a warm pocket so they will be available and in working order to call for help if necessary. • Check ice thickness frequently with an ice auger, chisel or cordless drill; Minnesota DNR recommends doing this every 150 feet. Measure with a retractable tape measure, hooking the end under the bottom edge of the ice to get an accurate reading. • The Minnesota DNR gives 4 inches of clear, hard ice as a minimum for those on foot. Five inches is required for snowmobiles and ATVs, and 12 inches is the minimum for trucks. Clear ice is the strongest, and usually forms quickly under a cold snap. Lake ice that appears cloudy or white is weaker, and is more likely to be found on area lakes this year due to recent freeze/ thaw cycles. The DNR says to double thickness requirements for “white” ice, and reminds us that “ice is never 100% safe.” Those driving vehicles would do well to stay on established paths. They are also advised to drive with doors unlocked, windows down and seatbelts unfastened to enable a swift exit from the vehicle if it should become necessary. If a person traveling on foot should fall through the ice, the procedure for escaping is simple (videos for illustration are available on the DNR’s Ice Safety web page):

• Calm yourself and try to return breathing to a normal rate. • Exit the water in the direction you came. Do not attempt to “climb” out vertically. Instead, think of “swimming” out. Reach out and use ice picks to pull with hands while kicking with feet. • Roll away from the hole, then crawl on hands and knees to distribute your weight more broadly. While breaking through the ice is usually the chief concern when it comes to ice safety, the majority of onice injuries come from other traumas. A 2016 study done by Mayo Clinic physicians looked at the type and occurrence of ice fishing injuries. Though serious, “immersion/drowning” injuries accounted for only 5% of the patients in the study. “Orthopedic/musculoskeletal” injuries were recorded at approximately nine times that rate (46%) and characterized as “likely related to slips on the ice.” Inexpensive ice cleats are designed to prevent such slips, which are common early and late in the ice season. Various major (6%) and minor traumas (37%) accounted for injuries such as lacerations, contusions and concussions, and also came in at rates higher than immersion/drowning. In the discussion of study findings researchers offered several safety tips, including only going out when conditions are safe and the buddy system. They also issued a warning regarding the way alcohol consumption can cause or contribute to injuries sustained on the ice. Roy Heilman is a contributing writer for Press Publications. He can be reached at news@presspubs. com or 651-407-1200.

A warm fall and temperature swings have somewhat delayed the arrival of ice fishing season. Anglers who put safety first will keep injury from interrupting their seasons.

37th annual wedding show offers 1-stop wedding shop for local brides BY CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

Future brides and grooms know that before there are wedding bells, there is wedding planning. Press Publications’ 37th annual wedding show is here to help. The expo will be held at the Best Western Plus (White Bear Country Inn) in White Bear Lake from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 9. The expo includes a variety of local, trusted wedding vendors ready to talk to brides one-on-one to help them plan their special day. A few vendors include: Sugar Fairy in Hugo, Bread Art in Bayport, and Bridal Aisle in Osseo, plus a selection of venues, DJs and entertainment will be showcased. “It’s not like the big crowded bridal shows in downtown St. Paul or Minneapolis. Brides will actually have an opportunity to speak individually with vendors and check things off their list,” said Patty Steele, director of sales and marketing at Press. The main difference for this year’s expo is the date change, which has been bumped up to January instead of its typical early spring date as to not

IF YOU GO: What: Press Publications’ 37th annual wedding expo features wedding local vendors When: Sunday, Jan. 9 from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. Where: Best Western Plus, 4940 State Highway 61, White Bear Lake Details: Brides get in free; other guests are $5 each. To register, call Patty Steele at 651-407-1213 or email her at marketing@presspubs.com. compete with other bridal shows and to give brides a head start on their planning. As for how COVID-19 will affect the expo, the typical fashion show and cakewalk will be put on hold, but there will be no limit on the number of guests brides can bring to the show. All guests will be required to mask up. “The expo will still be exciting, because what makes it different from all those giant wedding fairs is that you can get all the products and services you need but at a smaller fair. Plus, it’s enjoyable because we have some live entertainment going,” said Gary LaRue of Rat Pack Entertainment.

FILE PHOTO

The 37th annual wedding show is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 9 at the Best Western Plus.

Each vendor will give away door prizes, which range from hotel stays to discounts on wedding services. All wedding expo tickets will include $5 off lunch that day at Rudy’s Redeye Grill in White Bear Lake.

While wedding planning can be stressful for brides and grooms, the wedding expo is set up to relieve some of that stress by becoming the area’s one-stop wedding shop. To register, email Patty Steele at marketing@ presspubs.com or call at 651-

407-1213. Brides can attend the expo for free and all other guests are $5 each. Staff Writer Corinne Stremmel can be reached by calling 651-407-1226 or emailing lowdownnews@presspubs.com.

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Interesting and crazy Minnesota weather. It appeared that we were headed to have a white Christmas only to have it melt away with 40º temperatures on Christmas Eve. The few ﬂakes of snow on Christmas Day didn't even cover the ground, but there were no travel issues here in the Twin Cities. A snow event on Sunday turned into an ice event on Monday morning. Roads were slick and the snow was coated with a thin layer of ice. Our ﬁrst taste of subzero temperatures are on the way. Are you ready? Side note: My 2022 weather calendar is out!
