DATING APPS: Beware sexting scam PAGE 6A

Think before you flush

Braving a chilly dusting of snow Above: Owen Anderson’s Spider Man mask helps protect his face from the flying snow and wind as he zips down a hill at Lakewood Hills Park in White Bear Lake Sunday, Jan. 14. He was among a handful of local residents who chose to bundle up and enjoy the fresh layer of powdery snow that blanketed the area.

At right: Dan Strachota kicks up a trail of snow dust as he spins down a hill on a saucer.

What do wet wipes, dental floss, beach towels, marbles and cat litter have in common? They've all been flushed down the toilet.

And that's only just the beginning.

Add pharmaceuticals, paper towels and diapers to that list.

Of the many things people are throwing down their drain lately, flushable wipes are giving public works the biggest headaches.

“In every city, flushable wipes are jamming up sewer pumps,” said Mike Loflin with Hugo Public Works. “And it's getting worse.”

Cities are being forced to use different style pumps and/or replace $10,000 lift pumps more often because of the wipes.

The village of Birchwood is replacing pumps meant to last 10 years in its lift stations every 12 to 18 months, according to Mayor Mary Wingfield.

“We're going through pumps like people go through flushable wipes,” quipped the mayor, who bemoaned the fact residents may not be listening to the city's pleas.

“You can't flush these wipes,” Wingfield said. “What advertising says about these products being flushable is not the truth, and it's costing taxpayers money.”

The mayor worries that the issue isn't on people's radar. “People flush stuff down the toilet and think it's done. Out of sight, out of mind. We have to keep SEE FLUSHABLES, PAGE 8A

Super Bowl memories recovered from attic

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

A Super Bowl memory to last a lifetime occurred because of Ralph Hayne's desire to own a personal computer.

It was 1992, Minnesota was hosting the championship game, and Hayne had his eye on a $2,500 "electronic toy" that wife Linda insisted was not in the family budget. So the father of two got a part-time job driving a limousine about six months prior to Super Bowl XXVI. The week of the big game, Hayne took time off from his regular job at Unisys to drive the limo; he just didn't know for whom. That would be a surprise.

Standing at the airport gate holding a sign for a

Bill Smith (you could go to the gate in those days), he heard commotion on the jetway as passengers departed from the California flight. Then out walks the most famous heavyweight boxer of all time: Muhammad Ali, aka Bill Smith.

Ali was surrounded by fans seeking his autograph, and accompanied by his brother in law. Hayne couldn't remember the relative's name but the man was always by Ali's side.

And so Super Bowl week began for the chauffeur from White Bear Township and the boxing legend who was invited by the NFL to emcee official events.

Every morning at 9 a.m., Hayne met Ali for breakfast at his hotel on the 494 strip in Bloomington to SEE MEMORIES, PAGE 8A

Abandoned rail bed adds promise to lake trail MAHTOMEDI — Dozens of people, including neighbors, city and township leaders, were brought up to speed Jan. 10 by WSB engineers working on the Lake Links trail segment along Hwy. 244.

Lake Links Association co-chair Mike Brooks said last week's open house at the Mahtomedi District Center was “positive, with good participation.”

The Hwy. 244 segment is the longest single leg of the 10-mile route around White Bear Lake.

“What makes it particularly unique is the availability of abandoned railroad bed,” Brooks said. “Noted on various maps that WSB created were, primarily in Dellwood, a clearly visible solid line showing trail alignment using available public right of way but also, in close proximity to them, were dotted lines. These dotted lines pinpointed the location of privately owned abandoned rail bed, offering a potential alternative alignment. There were dotted lines evident on the lake side of 244 between Meadow and past Ordway and on the opposite side of the road, between the Yacht Club Golf Club House and Echo Street, heading into Mahtomedi.”

According to Brooks, the South Shore Boulevard segment lacked this wild card.

“The alignment of the Lake Links route in the Hwy.

244 segment will be fitted to the Dellwood community largely based on the decisions of those remaining property owners with open rail bed suitable for the trail. The generous donations of land Lake Links has seen from the (Thane and Blanche) Hawkins on one end of Dellwood and the (Joe and Taffy) Bensons on the other have provided the Lake Links route with 1,500 feet of former, idle rail bed. These generous acts have influenced the route alignment as well as its safety and the overall trail experience. The remaining parcels offer the same impact. Collectively, they would keep close to 80 percent of the trail through Dellwood further away from the road.

Ultimately, this could be the most beautiful segment.”

MIKE BROOKS | SUBMITTED

One of the maps presented at the open house shows the route and utilizes inset graphics to show alternative boardwalks through low areas along the lake.

Association obtains nonprofit status Hoff, Jim Muellner, Greg Bartz, Ben Creagh, Dennis Lindeke, Judy Craig, Jackie Reis, Blanche Hawkins, Wolgamot and Brooks. Brooks and Wolgamot were elected chairs for Ramsey and Washington county, respectively. Ben Creagh will be secretary/treasurer. Mary Hoff will manage communications and Judy Craig will handle social media. Jackie Reis is the contact at the Greater White Bear Lake Area Community Foundation.

New mission to declutter

I

t seems counterintuitive to me, but evidently there is a study published in “Frontiers in Human Neuroscience” that indicates our odds of making major life changes and sticking with them are better if we undertake a major overhaul.

That means making multiple changes all at once, instead of one at a time.

Overhaul is the operative word here. I figure it is apropos to my New Year’s resolution, which is to de-clutter. As for making multiple changes at once, I’m tacking on downsizing, figuring it’s two separate goals that involve major change.

I’m looking at it as both therapeutic and enlightening.

Feeling My adult children gave me flack over Christmas for my penchant to Inspired keep frivolous items on my kitchen Debra Neutkens counters, for instance, which led to my resolution. I admit to having miniature bottles of olive oil left over from my son’s 2010 wedding tucked in a dark corner. There is the unused wooden calendar my daughter made in third grade, cookbooks I never use and the telltale clincher, a plastic medicine cup fi lled with rocks. It’s been next to my sink longer than I can remember. It’s all clutter.

Why I have these never-used items on my kitchen counter is unclear. Can it be I’m reluctant to change? Probably. I don’t claim to be a hoarder although that is probably a subjective observation.

Interestingly, there are professionals who specialize in helping people clear clutter.

I recently read a story a staff writer did about a professional organizer. She said clutter can “clog” people’s energy by forcing them to waste time looking for things. I can relate to that.

Call it downsizing or de-cluttering, the desired outcome is the same to me. Maybe it means fewer knick knacks collecting dust around the house or maybe it means fi nding a home for my daughter’s boxes of Beanie Babies, but it’s something I’m tackling while I still have the energy.

Items I consider collectible bring up another concern. I don’t know what to do with them. And what do Baby Boomers do with all our heirlooms?

Items belonging to my mother and grandmother have value, both sentimental and as antiques.

My children do not have the same attachment.

They have made it clear they don’t want to inherit “stuff.” Items in their homes must be “functional.”

That is a dilemma as I begin to downsize.

Professional organizers say that people often have trouble getting rid of things from their past, or things that represent something they hoped would happen. Yup, that’s true: the old Jane Fonda exercise step would fit in that latter category.

Words of advice I am heeding from the experts include starting in a corner — to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff; limit a room to three uses — too many activities makes it chaotic; remove and put back. When going through storage areas, remove everything and take inventory. See what’s needed and what can be tossed or given away. I’ve already made one trip to Goodwill using that advice.

On the upside, I’ve read that reducing clutter makes weight loss easier. People who live with extreme clutter are much more likely to struggle with weight issues than those who keep their homes orderly. It makes sense. Clutter causes stress that can lead to overeating. So I am clearing kitchen counters. The plastic cup with the rocks will have to go. I’m tackling closets next. Those clothes from the ’80s may fit some day after all, once I declutter and weight loss follows. But that’s probably a resolution for next year. Maybe I’ll retrieve that Jane Fonda exercise step that made it as far as the garage.

Your legal rights: Beware of utility shut-off scams

M

innesota is a state with four seasons. When temperatures spike over 90 or dip below zero degrees, it can be crucial to keep the power on. And people count on electricity to fuel our technology. Scam artists threaten to turn off utility services if people don’t “pay up.”

It could happen like this: “Ben” got a call at work from someone who purported to be from Movers & his company’s electric utility Shakers company. The Lori caller claimed Ben’s company Swanson was behind on its electric bill and said that the power would be shut off if a payment was not made within an hour. Ben told the caller he would check with his bookkeeper and call back.

The bookkeeper said all payments were current. The utility company then confi rmed that Ben’s business did not have a late balance and it had not placed the call.

How the scam works A person or organization receives a call from someone who claims to represent the utility company. Most often, the individual claims the person or organization is behind on

their electric bill and threatens to shut down the power soon if the money is not paid. The scam artists usually ask people to pay the “balance” via prepaid debit card or wire transfer. The scam artist may try to create a sense of urgency to prevent the person or business from verifying the legitimacy of the call. While scam artists most often impersonate electric utilities, scammers sometimes impersonate other utility companies, such as television providers or water utility companies.

How to protect yourself or your organization There are steps you can take to protect yourself: • Verify the legitimacy of the call before acting. Before sending money to someone demanding payment, verify that the call actually came from your utility company by calling the number on your bill or on its website. Scam artists will sometimes “spoof” the real number for a utility company, so even if your caller ID shows the company’s official number, it is best to hang up and call back if the call seems suspicious.

• Beware of unusual payment methods. If the caller demands you send payment via a prepaid debit card or wire transfer, that is generally a red flag that the call is part of a scam. Prepaid debit cards and wire transfers are difficult to trace, and it can be almost impossible to recover the money

once it is sent.

• Be careful providing information over the phone and online. It is a good rule of thumb to avoid providing any information — including credit card numbers, checking account information, or other personal information — over the phone to people who call you.

• Most utility companies will allow you to mail payment directly to the company, or pay via a secured website. If you feel suspicious about a caller telling you to make a payment via a website, check to make sure the website is secure. A secure website name starts with “https://”— remember the “s” is for secure.

In general, “http://” websites are vulnerable to attack.

• Don’t be rushed. If a caller tries to keep you on the phone to prevent you from verifying the call, or says you must pay immediately to prevent your power from being disconnected, the call may not be legitimate. Tell the caller you would like to verify the call is legitimate and then call back at a trusted number for the company.

If you receive a utility shut-off scam call, you should report it to your utility company. You should also report the call to your local police department or sheriff’s office.

Caring for Christmas houseplants

T

he holidays are behind us, but what do I do with my Christmas plants? The cookies are eaten, the tree is on the curb but my poinsettia is still looking great. The amaryllis is in bloom and the ornaments have been removed from the Norfolk Island pine. If you’re like me, I just can’t abandon them in the trash bin.

Amaryllis is a holiday favorite. It grows quickly and produces showy blooms with little care. Once the bloom has faded, cut back the flower stalk. Repot if the pot it is in doesn’t have a drainage hole. There should be at least an inch around the bulb. One third of the bulb should be above the soil. Amaryllis bulbs can stay in the same pot for many years. Place the pot in a bright sunny window and water when dry. Once the danger of frost has

passed, you can move it outdoors. Find a sunny garden location and plant the pot and all. Dropping the entire pot into the soil makes it easy to bring inside come fall. Before the fi rst frost, bring the pot inside, cut back the foliage and place it in a cool, dark place for at least two months.

Bring the pot out of dark, give it a Gardener’s the drink and sunlight and it spring back to Grapevine watch life. You can also plant Nancy Tierney the bulb directly in the ground and dig it up in the fall. Store the clean bulb in a paper bag in a cool, dark place for at least two months before potting inside.

Norfolk Island pine is not actually a true pine tree. It is a tropical plant and is not cold tolerant, making it best suited as a houseplant in our area. It needs high humidity, often an ongoing struggle during our dry winters. Humidity can be accomplished by placing the plant on a pebble tray with water, using a humidifier or misting weekly. The plant thrives in bright light and should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch.

Poinsettia is another tropical, native to Mexico. It will never be as showy again as when it came from the climate controlled greenhouse. When it drops green leaves, cut it back to 6-8 inches and allow the soil to dry out completely between watering.

Keep the plant in bright light, away from cold drafts. After all danger of

frost has passed, it can be repotted or planted outside in a sunny garden for the summer. Bring it back into the house before the fi rst frost. It then needs 14 hours of total darkness and 6 hours of bright sunlight daily. Do this for 10 weeks to set flower buds. Did I just lose you? Yes, more work than most of us are up to. But this plant can still be enjoyed as a houseplant, and later as an annual for the less brave.

Enjoy your post holiday plants and think spring! Visit our website: http://anokamastergardeners.org/ for information on events, activities and how to Ask a Master Gardener questions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Many believe M b li ffallacy ll tto b be ttrue It is understandable how letter writer Ron Ausan believes the recently passed tax law “lavishes corporations and the wealthy.” (“Tax law disappointing, extravagant,” Jan. 3). Many people believe this to be true because this fallacy has been promoted by the mainstream media.

I am not sure why wealthy people are despised, especially as it regards paying taxes. According to the IRS, the top 1 percent of income earners pay more federal income taxes than the bottom 90 percent combined. And 40 percent of people pay no federal taxes at all. You would think Ausan would beg for more of those “bigly, hugely wealthy people”. As much as wealthy people are despised, it should be understood that our Government can only tax the annual income of wealthy people. There is no wealth tax as of yet.

And regarding those “Tax Rich Corporations” Ausan references; more than 100 companies are giving bonuses, pay hikes and benefits in reaction to this tax reform. My daughter will receive a $1,000 bonus this year. I have a 401K and an IRA and I am far from wealthy. My retirement earnings have increased by 20 percent since the new administration took office.

Mr. Ausan points out that these new tax cuts are temporary for us common folk. He fails to point out that the cause of this temporary status is because this tax bill passed through the Senate on “Reconciliation.” This allows the bill to pass with 51 percent of

votes t without ith t needing di a 60-vote 60 t consensus tto end d all ll debate. Not one Democrat voted for the tax cuts and because of the Byrd Rule, any bill that goes through Reconciliation is temporary.

Mr. Ausan states the tax bill was hastily drafted with no opportunity for debate for Congress to discuss alternatives, and he has a point. Extreme partisan politics is a big problem in our country and both political parties are to blame. Do you remember former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s quote regarding the passage of Obamacare in 2010? “We have to pass this bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

Check the facts. More than 80 percent of people that pay income taxes will pay less. Doubling the standard deduction means as few as 9 percent of taxpayers need to file complicated tax returns that itemize deductions such as SNAP (state, national and local taxes).

This new tax plan is a welcome relief to the people I know; people that work hard, pay their taxes and ask nothing of our government except to allow us to keep more of our hard-earned money.

R.J. Eliason White Bear Township

Concerns with tax law comments I have some concerns about the “Tax law disappointing, extravagant” letter from Ron Ausan (Jan. 3, 2018, White Bear Press). He mentions that benefits go to “cash-rich corporations and big, hugely wealthy

...”

We h have seen ffrom news reports thatt att lleastt 25 ” W t th “cash-rich corporations” have given workers huge bonuses, raised hourly wages, and are now hiring more workers. Many more corporations are coming back to the U.S., and are planning to spend multi-billions of dollars to start plants and hire people here.

Next, he states this tax cut provides “small and only temporary relief to lower- and middle-income families.” As far as I’m concerned, any income increase is a plus. As to the “temporary relief” comment, these tax cuts are temporary because it takes 60 votes in the Senate to make them permanent; at least nine Democrats would have had to vote for the tax cuts in order to be permanent. When is the last time a Democrat voted for a tax cut?

Then he goes on to say that this bill was drafted in a “closed and secretive manner, with no public hearings.” From what I saw on TV, this bill was being shouted down by the mainstream media and Democrats from inception. He also noted, “There was not even a full draft of the proposed bill for the members of Congress to read.” Does anyone remember this quote: “You will have to pass the bill to see what’s in it?” That’s right, thank you, Nancy Pelosi. Oh, and by the way, that bill was “rushed to a final vote that resulted in a completely partisan result.”

Friday night crash leads to arrest A White Bear Lake man, 49, was arrested for fleeing the scene of an accident while under the influence of alcohol after his pickup truck and an SUV collided at 11 p.m. Jan. 5 on Hwy. 61 at 120th Street in White Bear Township. The driver of the SUV, 61, told the State Patrol he detected alcohol on the other driver. A K-9 team and helicopter assisted in searching for the other driver, fi nding him at a nearby Marathon Station. The driver of the SUV was taken to Region's Hospital with injuries that were not life threatening. The driver of the truck was not seriously injured but was taken to a medical facility for a blood draw to check his alcohol level. Lt. Tiffani Nielson with the State Patrol said it's common practice to send out a helicopter if someone leaves a crash with possible injuries.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF WBLPD alert: beware of underage sexting scam Suspects are using dating apps to pose as pretty females who want to sext. Usually, the young woman wants to exchange pictures via texting. The initial photo exchange is to acquire a photo of the man's face which provides proof of communication. It doesn't take long before she sends a sext or asks for a sext. Then, surprise! They are “underage.”

Sometimes a fake cop is used in the scam to pressure the man, and then the female's father calls to say his daughter is under 18, which makes the sext exchange illegal and says to pay up or else. They are trying to extort money. Don't do it, say White Bear Police, it's a scam. The White Bear Lake department has had at least three of these reports. If you use dating sites, be vigilant of scammers.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • A Samuel Court resident attempting to sell a wedding dress online Dec. 27 was asking $1,100 and received a check for $2,350. The scam works like this: the victim cashes the check for $2,350, keeps $1,100, and sends back a check for $1,250.

Meanwhile, the check for $2,350 bounces and the 30-year-old victim, in this case, is left holding the dress while out $1,250.

• A 29-year-old woman ordering a Subway sandwich Jan. 2 came out of the shop to fi nd her 2008 white convertible Pontiac G6 gone. Deputies spotted the hot convertible two days later — wearing plates stolen from a Buick — and gave chase. That driver crashed into a mailbox trying to flee the scene and was arrested. The 21-year-old female suspect out of White Bear Lake was jailed on a felony motor theft charge.

• Before leaving for work the night of Jan. 3, a 20-year-old female owner of a 2008 Chevy Impala in the 1200 block of County Road E left the car running to warm up. Fifteen minutes later, the locked Chevy was gone. The damaged car was recovered two days later in a nearby White Castle parking lot. One female occupant was taken into custody.

• A shoeless teen knocked on the door of a townhouse the evening of Jan. 6 and told the homeowner he had just been robbed and carjacked.

The Roseville 17-year-old had been set up to meet an “Emily” at a party and was given driving instructions. Upon his arrival, two masked men greeted the victim, took $20 in cash, his “Jordan Eleven” shoes and his iPhone 7. They also took his grandfather’s 2003 Mazda. Deputies are looking for “Emily.”

• Tools and a generator valued at a total of $1,500 were reported stolen over the weekend of Jan. 7 from a locked trailer at a construction site in the 3800 block of Labore Road.

White Bear Township • A man reported missing by his father Jan. 6 from the 1200 block of Otter Ridge Road was found 23 hours later in Menomonie, Wisconsin.

The 24-year-old was transported to Ramsey County Detox.

• Deputies stopped a vehicle reported to be stolen the evening of Jan. 6 at Dillon and Stillwater streets, an area familiar to law enforcement.

The driver, a female out of White Bear Lake, was found in possession of pot and credit cards with various names. The 37-year-old was jailed on a felony possession of stolen property charge.

• An unlocked 2002 Chevy Impala with no plates and the keys in the center console, was reported stolen near midnight on Jan. 7 on Mallard Ponds Drive. The vehicle was recovered 24 hours later in North St. Paul.

• What good is a Lexus if it won’t run? A ’95 Lexus LS 400 was impounded from its resting spot in the 1100 block of Lakeview Avenue the morning of Jan. 8 after its seventh ticketed violation of the Township’s winter parking ban.

“It won’t start,” the frustrated 17-year-old male owner told a deputy.

• A 51-year-old Elk Street man was jailed the morning of Jan. 8 on a second-degree possession of a dangerous weapon (knife) charge. The suspect, who threatened to kill his brother in October, has five previous felony convictions.

• Deputies responded to the 5800 block of Otter Lake Road the afternoon of Jan. 9 on a passerby’s report of an “apparently distraught man walking with no shoes.” The 37-year-old man, seemingly confused, was given a ride to his mother’s home and later to Regions Hospital for a psych exam.

• A suspect loaded up on deli items late on the morning of Jan. 9 at Cub Foods on Meadowlands Drive before fleeing the scene in a Chevy Malibu.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

patrol conducted random computer checks.

• A Scandia woman, 35, was cited Dec. 16 on Manning Avenue N. at Highway 36 for driving after suspension after deputies on patrol conducted random computer checks.

Birchwood • A driver's license was reported found Dec. 11 in the 400 block of Birchwood Court. No one in the neighborhood recognized its owner.

Mahtomedi • School bus stop arm violation was reported at 8:52 a.m. Dec. 8 on Warner Avenue. The license number of the vehicle did not match its description.

• A counterfeit $20 bill was reported Dec. 11 at the Freedom Valu Center on Wildwood Road after a customer tried to pre-pay for gas with the bill. The customer, who eventually paid with a different bill, told deputies she was unaware she had a fake bill in her possession and that she had received seven $20 bills from her son for paying bills.

• A Shoreview man, 18, was cited Dec. 11 on Maple Street and Mahtomedi Avenue for failing to stop at the stop sign before turning southbound onto the avenue.

• A Grant man, 57, was cited at 9:31 p.m. Dec. 11 on Mahtomedi Avenue and Glenmar Avenue for driving without headlights and verbally

Dellwood • Employees at an orchard in the 400 block of Apple Orchard Road reported Dec. 14 that a fence into the orchard was cut. It is unknown if anything is missing.

Grant • A resident in the 8500 block of Kimbro Avenue N. on Dec. 11 reported arriving home to check the mail and not fi nding the two bottles of medication she was expecting. Delivery was confi rmed and yet the mailbox was empty.

• A Lakeland man, 24, was arrested at 6:12 a.m. Dec. 15 on westbound Highway 36 at Manning Avenue N. on a Ramsey County Sheriff's Office warrant after deputies on 16A s space PAGE into Festival Food Thyme moving tive: Y STORE: Fresh Survey objecisting NEW GROCER

BREAKTHROUGH MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS ADVANCED PAIN RELIEF Unless you or someone you know has struggled with severe injury, chronic pain, or degenerative disease, it’s dif cult to understand the impact it can have on life.

But if you struggle with chronic pain, you know its debilitating effects. You’ve likely given up hobbies, family activities, and travel in your efforts to control pain and maintain functionality.

Unfortunately, until now, the only treatment options for these types of conditions have been surgery or addictive pain killers, which often have unwelcome side effects. But recent advances in medical technology may offer advanced, effective relief.

K-Laser, a state-of-the-art, Class IV laser therapy, has been found to penetrate tissue and initiate healing on a cellular level, even allowing some patients to return to normal, everyday activities with little to no pain.

IMAGINE A DAY WITH NO PAIN Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C., of White Bear Lake, has offered K-Laser treatments in his practice since 2016 and con rms these ndings. “I’m thrilled with the outcome of K-Laser therapy. I’m now able to provide holistic, natural treatment for conditions that previously required invasive treatment or heavy medications with no promise of real relief.�

His patients are happy as well. Here are a few of the responses he has heard: “I can hardly express the relief I have received from one treatment.� ~retired ER nurse, 25 years of chronic lower back pain “This was dramatic pain relief! I began gardening again and using my treadmill for exercise.� ~67-year-old with debilitating knee pain “I can’t believe the difference it is making. Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you!� ~arthritic hip patient

THE SECRET IS LIGHT ENERGY K-Laser, also known as High Power Laser Therapy, targets damaged tissue with speci c wavelengths of light that have

been found to interact with tissue and accelerate the healing process.

Much like photosynthesis in plants, light energy passes through the skin, into the cell membrane, initiating a process called photobiostimulation. This process enhances the body’s natural regenerative functions, as well as stimulating the release of endorphins and collagen. It may eventually even normalize damaged or injured tissue.

The result? Accelerated wound healing, as well as reduced pain, stiffness, swelling, and spasms. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored, so patients may take their life back and resume their favorite hobbies and activities.

CONDITIONS TREATED WITH K-LASER High power laser therapy can stimulate all cell types, including soft tissue, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. Some conditions that have been shown to respond well to K-Laser include: • Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia • Back and Neck Pain • Sciatic Pain • Arthritis pain, Degenerative Discs/Joints • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Knee Problems • Tendinitis, Trigger Fingers • Bunion Pains, Plantar Fasciitis • Sprains and/or Strains • Bruises, Contusions, Burns • Headaches, TMJ, Sinus Trouble • Athletic Injuries • Work-Related and Auto Injuries

RESULTS MAY EVEN BE SEEN AFTER 1 TREATMENT Many patients report pain relief in as little as one treatment, and most are able to resume normal daily activities with no pain and restricted movement after their therapy is completed.

Steve Donohue, Asst. Athletic Trainer of the N.Y. Yankees, reports, “We use the K-Laser both on acute and chronic conditions, such as bruises, contusions and tendinitis. We ice and then use the laser, and players seem to respond quicker. It’s a hot item in the training room. The guys line up for it!�

More than 1200 studies conducted over 40 years worldwide have shown the powerful therapeutic bene ts of high power laser therapy. Findings include: • Acute Pain: diminished more than 70%, chronic pain more than 60% • Chronic Low Back Pain: treatment effective in 71% of cases; pain eliminated completely in 45% • Wounds: 55% greater healing on day 8, as compared to the placebo group • Knee Injury: improved knee exion and pressure sensitivity after every treatment

NOW AVAILABLE IN WHITE BEAR LAKE! Are you a candidate for K-Laser therapy?

For a limited time, Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C. is offering a complementary visit valued at $75. “If you suffer from chronic pain, laser therapy may give you your life back. You owe it to yourself to try the advanced treatment options that are now available. I truly believe K-Laser can make a difference. My hope is that everyone who needs it will at least give it a try,� said Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C. To take advantage of this special offer, call 651-762-8040 before 3/15/18.

Clinic hours are 8:00am and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the “K-Laser Evaluation.�

Sincerely,

Treatments are administered by a technician, using a hand-held device the size of a ashlight. The laser is placed directly over the injured area for anywhere from 30 seconds to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the treatment plan.

Most patients report a warm, relaxing sensation. They generally experience no side effects or recovery period.

THE GOAL IS HEALING, NOT MERELY SYMPTOM RELIEF For too long, medicine has focused on symptom relief rather than true healing.

K-Laser offers an alternative, and it’s a welcome change for athletes as well as patients interested in natural remedies.

Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C.

MEMORIES: ‘It was quite a week’ FROM PAGE 1A

go over the day's itinerary. It was packed with appearances leading up to Super Sunday that required dashing from one event to another with Ali usually returning to his room at 1 or 2 a.m.

At every engagement, the boxing celebrity was showered with gifts that Hayne personally lugged up to his room night after night. Towards the end of the week, they had to rent Ali's adjoining room to store all the swag.

He didn't talk much, Hayne said, letting his brother in law do most of the communicating. In 1992, Ali would turn 50 and was showing signs of Parkinson's, a disease he lived with for three decades.

Hayne was 46 at the time and felt he immediately clicked with the boxing great. His role was not only chauffeur, but he became a personal assistant and tour guide, Hayne said.

"I think he liked my style," Hayne recalled. "I constantly asked him, 'what can I do for you?' How can I help?' I was always chatting it up with the cops (at the appearances) and shaking hands with them. I was as outgoing as he was."

If there was downtime in the schedule, Ali wanted to view the sights. They went to Harriet Island to see the Winter Carnival ice castle one morning and then spent two hours in a St. Paul magic shop on Seventh Street. "He fancied himself a magician," Haynes said.

"He loved magic tricks."

On Super Thursday, Hayne picked up Ali's two nephews at the airport. They wanted to do one thing: ice fish. Hayne had coached a hockey player who owned an ice shack on White Bear Lake - Scott Vadnais. He asked Vadnais if he could bring a visiting dignitary and his nephews to ice fish. "I wouldn't tell him who it was. So on Saturday, the day before the game, I drove the limo out on the lake. Everyone went berserk when Ali got out of the car."

The Kentucky-born boxer didn't fish, but he was curious about the sport. "He was amazed at all the activity on the lake," Hayne said. "There were probably 3,000 people attending an ice fishing contest and snowmobile race as part of the Winter Carnival. It was a beautiful day."

When his boss found out Hayne had driven Ali out

on the ice, he chewed the driver out. "He was really annoyed I took someone like Ali out there," Hayne said. "He felt it was an unsafe environment. I almost got fired."

Memorabilia from his week with "The Great SUBMITTED One" was rediscovered The official Super Bowl patch is last week when Hayne part of Hayne’s collection. and his daughter Brenda Melius brought boxes down from the attic as step one to downsizing.

Hayne is a widower, having lost his wife Linda in 2002 after 31 years of marriage. Their son Jeffrey Hayne was 25 when he died in a car accident in 1998.

The White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association named its Junior Gold tournament after Jeff Hayne, coincidentally slated for this weekend. Ralph was a co-founder of the association's Junior Gold league in 1991.

On the day of the Super Bowl, Hayne drove Ali to the Metrodome, jumping the curb like he always did to drop his guest at the prearranged door. "It was 15 minutes before the game. He never wanted to get anywhere early. I opened the car door and he got out. NFL people were there to escort him to the suite. I turned around to get back in the limo to move it to a downtown parking area set aside for the 400 limos in town.

Ali stopped me and said I was coming in. So a cop took my keys in case they had to move the limo and a NFL guy hands me a ticket. I sat on the 50-yard line 20 rows up from the bench. That would be a $10,000 seat in today's game."

Hayne was told to keep an eye on the suite behind him to make sure Ali didn't want to make an early departure. An occasional wave would indicate that everything was OK. On Monday when it was all over, Ali tasked Hayne with packing up all the gifts and goodies and shipping the many boxes to Michigan, where Ali lived at the time. It took the driver 14 hours.

Twenty-six years later, Hayne, 72, recollected the time spent with the famous boxer. If there was one word to describe Ali, it would be "gracious," he said.

Ali loved to perform magic tricks and spent several hours in a St. Paul magic shop on Seventh Street in 1992.

"He enjoyed the crowds. And people adored him. He did not want to do anything that might make people unhappy. He wanted to please everyone. It was quite a week."

And oh yeah, his tip was enough to buy the computer.

Muhammad Ali died June 4, 2016 in Arizona. He was 74.

reminding people what they can and cannot flush down the sewer system.”

The troublesome wipes clog up impellers on the pumps, tripping breakers and locking up the motor. “It shortens the life of the pump and they can't move water,” Loflin explained. “We've had to switch to a less efficient vortex pump that doesn't clog up as easily. It's a nationwide problem that ends up costing taxpayers more money for electricity and maintenance and crews are getting calls in the middle of the night to pull pumps.”

In his 15 years with the city, Loflin has found beach towels, two by fours, and a shovel handle in the sewer system. But it's the “great big balls of wipes” that cause 90 percent of the problem with sewer pumps.

“There can be several hundred to a thousand wipes shredded and gathered in one big mass,” said the Hugo worker.

“They're like a magnet to each other.

We're down there with pry bars and knives trying to pull them apart. It's a huge deal.”

About once a month, Centerville Public Works hires a company to pull up clogged lift station pumps.

Technician Ted Peterson said it costs the city about $200 each time.

Just last month, Centerville city leaders approved a lift station rehab in the amount of almost $25,000 for a new pump.

A council member blamed it on damage caused by “flushable” wipes and other debris that caused the system to fail.

Peterson agrees that the items causing the most problems are the (non)flushable wipes. Dental floss has also been a problem. When Waterworks Beach Club was open, they'd find bras and underwear jamming up the pumps in a lift station next door, Peterson added. He has kept what he calls “flushable wipe snakes” and put them in a display case to “shock people.”

SUBMITTED

Disposable wipes should not be flushed.

These shredded wipes form long snakes in the sewer lines and clog lift station pumps.

Birchwood is considering joining a class-action lawsuit against makers of the flushable wipes. City Administrator Tobin Lay feels the city's continuing problem with replacing sewer impellers provides just cause.

The city has spent about $14,000 since January 2016 on sewer repairs specifically linked to the wipes and “stuff that shouldn't be flushed,” Lay said. “For a small village of 900 residents, that's a significant cost.”

Last Lay heard, Birchwood city attorney Alan Kantrud was waiting for notice from the original attorneys petitioning for class action classification. “I don't think anything is official yet but I know many communities had their interest piqued when the class action idea came out.”

New year, new housekeeping chores

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — At the top of the agenda Jan. 9 was the administering of the oath of office for Mayor Jo Emerson, Councilman Doug Biehn and Councilman Kevin Edberg. All were re-elected last November.

City Council members then approved the following, where many items are typical for the year's fi rst meeting: • Second reading of ordinance related to renewal of a 20-year right-of-way agreement with Xcel Energy. The right-of-way franchise agreement provides Xcel access to municipal right of way for its electrical and natural gas distribution system.

Council and staff had discussed the option of adjusting franchise fees in November. Staff was directed to proceed with the renewal without any fee revisions but that does not preclude the city's ability to adjust rates at a future date. • Second reading of ordinance establishing right-of-way for small cell permits.

Final language for the ordinance will be approved at the Feb. 13 meeting. City Attorney Andy Pratt said the city has aesthetic standards it is interested in preserving; and questioned whether the city can control the look of small cell wireless facilities in historical areas.

Many cities are beginning this process, Pratt noted, as permit requests come in for small cell wireless equipment. A small wireless facility is defi ned as meeting certain qualifications, such as each antenna is located inside an enclosure of no more than 6 cubic feet in volume. A micro wireless facility is no longer than 24 inches long, 15 inches wide and 12 inches high and whose exterior antenna, if any, is no longer than 11 inches.

For background, the Legislature passed a law in 2017 that gave significant rights to private parties to place small cell wireless facilities and micro wireless facilities on public property with minimal regulation.

Municipalities are allowed to fi rst establish a model lease agreement that governs location and other pertinent matters. Often these facilities are “collocated� on utility poles or other structures within public right of way.

During the drafting process, Pratt discovered the city does not have a right of way ordinance in place.

Mayor Jo Emerson thanked Pratt for taking time to make the right of way ordinance right. “This is a big change for us,â€? she said. • Resolution designating city attorney and counselor for 2018.

Pratt, of Eckberg Lammers, was reappointed city attorney and Robb Olson was reappointed prosecuting attorney. Both are compensated by retainer for basic services and at an hourly rate for other services.

A rate increase of 2.75 percent was approved for Pratt, commensurate with executive staff adjustments.

Last year council approved a threeyear contract with Olson at an annual rate of $148,000.

Legal services cost the city $245,400 in 2017. • Resolution naming White Bear Press as official newspaper. • Resolution appointing council members to various organizations.

Emerson was appointed to Rush Line; Dan Jones to Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization; Doug Biehn to Ramsey County League of Local Governments and Ramsey County Dispatch Policy Committee. • Resolution once again authorizing a service agreement with Northeast Youth and Family Services. The city's funding share of $39,600 is proportionate to other participating cities for mental health services.

PUBLIC WORKS NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE - Proper placement of your trash/recycling containers is simple, but extremely important to DFKLHYH HIÂżFLHQW VWUHHW PDLQWHQDQFH operations. Trash/recycling containers must NOT be placed on street surfaces.

The containers should be placed in the cleared driveway area or an area of the boulevard cleared of snow to allow for their placement up to two feet behind the curb when waiting for pickup. This allows snowplows to clear the streets from curb to curb.

Mayor Jo Emerson invited her grandchildren, Evie and Van Karle, to join her as she took the oath of office Jan. 9.

BOULEVARD TREE TRIMMING TO BEGIN – The Township’s Public Works Department will be pruning boulevard trees during the next few months. Boulevard trees are those typically within 15 feet from the back of the curb/edge of the street. The trees will be pruned to remove branches that hang low over the street surface or the sidewalk/trail including dead or broken branches & in some instances branches may be removed from the side of the tree away from the street in order to maintain the symmetry or balance of the tree’s crown.

FREE SALT MEASURING CUPS – This winter the Township is distributing free salt measuring cups which have been provided by the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization. Did you know that one teaspoon of rock salt is enough to pollute 5 gallons of water? Once salt is introduced into our lakes and wetlands, it’s stuck in that water as it moves along to larger rivers & lakes. This changes the aquatic environment & harms our water resources over time.

Well-known Minnesota architect Cass Gilbert spent much of his early career designing homes and other buildings

around the White Bear area. Join the WBLAHS for this illustrated program as we discuss some of his early work, some of which still stand, while others have not survived or were never built.

FREE event but donations are welcome. This project was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s art and cultural heritage.

Flu season in full swing, not too late to vaccinate As the flu season climbs toward its peak, health officials are reminding Minnesotans that it’s not too late to get a flu vaccine. Vaccination is the best way to prevent flu and lessen its serious effects.

Weekly flu data released last week show a continued increase in flu activity across Minnesota. As of the week ending Jan. 6, 2018, there have been 1,765 flu-related hospitalizations, 55 outbreaks of influenza-like illness (ILI) in long-term care facilities, 43 outbreaks of ILI in schools and one pediatric flu death this flu season. All these indicators point to a potentially severe flu season, and health officials say we may not have seen the peak of the season yet.

“Now is the time to get your flu vaccine if you have not

already,” said Kris Ehresmann, director of infectious disease at the Minnesota Department of Health. “Even otherwise-healthy people can become very sick from flu, and we still have a lot of flu season left. Flu can easily circulate through April and beyond.”

The main flu strain circulating so far this season in Minnesota and the U.S. is influenza A (H3N2). Flu seasons with H3N2 as the dominant strain have been associated with more hospitalizations and deaths in adults 65 years and older and young children compared to other age groups. It is very important for young children, older adults and others at high risk for complications from flu to get vaccinated. People at higher risk for flu complications include pregnant women and people with

FOR THE

chronic medical conditions, like diabetes, asthma or heart disease.

“Rumors that the flu vaccine is not effective this year are misleading,” said Ehresmann. “It is too early for us to know what the flu vaccine effectiveness is for the U.S., and we can’t make predictions based on what happened in other countries like Australia because it’s not an equal comparison.”

Ehresmann noted that even in a perfectly matched year, the vaccine will not prevent every case of flu.

However, more people being vaccinated means more protection in the community so the spread of flu can be limited. There is also evidence that people who are vaccinated have less-severe illness. Recently published studies found that people vaccinated against the flu are less likely to have serious complications that could put them in the hospital.

The symptoms of flu, which tend to come on suddenly, can include a sore throat, coughing, fever, headache, muscle aches and fatigue. People who become severely ill with flu-like symptoms should seek medical care.

From John Akins, Counselor: I have had the pleasure of working with John as his counselor for the past four years. We have met on numerous occasions to talk about his educational plans. There is no doubt that John really enjoys learning and has challenged himself throughout high school with some of the most demanding courses we offer. Although much of our talks were centered around education, we would also venture off into other areas that we have in common. John is an outstanding athlete too and loves track and field and will be a member of the track and field team at the Colorado School of Mines.

From Ray Harris, Teacher and Head Track and Field Coach: John, who is a 2018 captain, is a proven leader on our track and field team. He’s extremely committed and disciplined in making both himself and his teammates better. John does whatever is asked of him, perseveres through difficult tasks, and doesn’t complain. John takes great pride in athletics and commits himself the same way to his academics.

From Thad Tumbleson, Teacher and Track and Field Coach: John is one the hardest working athletes I’ve ever coached. He gives his all and always puts his best foot forward...win or lose. He has demonstrated amazing leadership by example and will take the time to show others what they can do to improve. I don’t think I have ever seen him in a bad mood and he brings that amazing attitude to practice and to meets every day!

Special trip for Vadnais Heights couple: South Korea to watch two daughters in Olympics hockey

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

SUBMITTED

Robin and Greg Brandt posed with daughters Hannah and Marissa on the occasion of the U of M Gophers winning a national championship.

Greg and Robin Brandt of Vadnais Heights have traveled to many ports in North America to watch their daughters play hockey.

Next month, they will embark on the grandest journey yet, to the Winter Olympics in South Korea, to root for not one, but two different Olympic teams.

Hannah Brandt, former Minnesota Gophers great, will play for Team USA. Marissa Brandt, who played for Gustavus Adolphus, will suit up for South Korea, the place of her birth. She was adopted as an infant.

Both got started in White Bear Lake youth hockey and played for Hill-Murray High School.

“Robin and I and Marissa's husband, Brett

Ylonen, are the only family or friends going to the Olympics,” Greg Brandt said, in response to questions from the White Bear Press.

Friends will stay at their house to keep an eye on it.

“The high cost of lodging prohibited many from considering attending (the Olympics),” he said. “They will be cheering the girls on from home.”

The trio will stay

throughout the Games, plus one extra day, to spend a bit of time with Marissa and let her show them around Seoul.

The Games will be held Feb. 9-25. USA opens against Finland on Feb. 11. South Korea opens against Sweden on Feb. 12.

The hockey families will stay in Gangneung, the location of the indoor arenas for hockey, speed skating and figure skating. Gangneung has few hotels, so many residential homes, condominiums and apartments, are being rented out to visitors.

“We are staying in a condominium building with many other USA families,” Brandt said.

“It was arranged with a travel company, and very expensive!”

Greg and Robin have previously traveled to tournaments in Winnipeg and Tampa. Greg, by himself, has attended tournaments in Quebec City and Boston. Most of those were to watch Team USA vs. Canada.

The couple also got to see Marissa play this fall when South Korea prepped for the Olympics with games at Minnesota State-Mankato, Minnesota-Duluth, Wisconsin-River Falls and Shattuck-St. Mary’s in Faribault.

“We know most of the USA team families and parents, as we have been at tournaments with most of them on and off for several years,” Brandt said, adding they are getting to know some of the Korean team's families, as well, and have met the coaches, and team officials at some of the games.

Asked if American visitors are advised on security precautions, he said the families “have not really received any specific advice or information,” except to register with the U.S. Embassy in Seoul and inform them of their travel plans.

Icemen dominant in 3-0 week; duel for title coming up After outscoring three opponents 25-1 last week, White Bear Lake boys hockey looks ahead to a week that could decide the conference championship.

The Bears (11-2-2) blanked Stillwater 3-0 Tuesday, all goals coming via special teams: Max Jennrich on a power play, and Chase Hamstad and Austin Carroll short-handed. Hamstad assist-

ed on two goals.

Two nights later, the Bears thumped Park of Cottage Grove 9-1 as Chase Bill and Blake Meister notched two goals each and Connor McMurtry, Grant Hofeld, Hamstad, Jennrich and Nate Wilke one each. Wilke had a five-point game with four assists.

On Saturday, the Bears won 13-0 at

Woodbury, led by Jennrich with the hat trick plus two assists, and Hamstad with a seven-point game of two goals and five assists. Rose and Bill each had two goals. Owen Gallatin, Carroll, Wilke and Spencer Millard scored one each. Gallatin made three assists.

In the nets were Even Foss for the two shutouts and Stephen Uremovich

against Park.

In the Suburban East Conference, the No. 7 ranked Bears are 8-0 and No. 6 Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders 7-0. No other team has less than three losses.

The Bears will host Forest Lake on Thursday, then take on Cretin-Derham Hall on Saturday, 3 p.m., at Highland Arena in St. Paul.

White Bear Lake duo helps USA win title in Moscow; Bears struggle without them A pair of White Bear Lake hockey stars took their talents to Moscow last week, helping Team USA capture the 18-and-under world championship with five wins.

With forward Sydney Shearen and goalie Calla Frank gone, their Bear teammates had a tougher time home with a 1-4-1 record in a six-game stretch.

In the IIHF Under-18 Women's World Championships, Team USA beat Sweden 2-1, Russia 5-3, and Canada 6-2 in pool play, then vanquished Canada again in the semifinals, 4-3 in overtime, and finished with a 9-3 rout of Sweden in the gold medal game on Saturday.

Shearen had one assist in the tournament, on a goal

by Britta Curl in the gold-medal game. Frank played one game in goal, making 13 saves in the win over

Russia, as backup to Lindsay Reed of New Jersey.

Frank and Shearen earned spots on the 23-player roster during months of tryouts last spring and summer. Another Minnesotan, forward Taylor Heise of Lake City, was named Most Valuable Player in the tournament, and Gracie Ostertag of Shakopee was named best defenseman.

The USA coach is a White Bear Lake resident, Joel Johnson, also an assistant coach with the Minnesota Gophers and former Bethel head coach.

The Bears lost their final two games without Shearen and Frank last week, against East Ridge 5-2 and Mounds View 5-0 last week. Claudia Verkerke had both goals against East Ridge.

The Bears, who were 11-3 at full strength, are now 12-7-2 with five games left before playoffs.

WHITE BEAR LAKE SPORTS BRIEFS Bear wrestlers win at Park The White Bear Lake wrestlers (9-3) beat Park of Cottage Grove 39-22 there Thursday. “They did what they have to do to win on the road — they set the tempo early winning the first four matches,” noted coach Craig Nasvik.

The Bears had pins by JJ Andress at 120, Jorrell Turner at 126, Isaiah Baker at 132, TJ Turinkse at 142, and Josh Suedbeck at 182. Tyler Schwappach got a forfeit at 113 and Matt Sloan won 7-2 at 160. The Bears will host East Ridge and Henry Sibley on Thursday, Parents Night, beginning 4:30 p.m.

Bear girls fall twice in the hardcourt White Bear Lake girls basketball lost twice last week, dropping to 7-7. Stillwater beat the Bears 64-58 on Tuesday led by guards Sara Scalia with 26 points and Alexis Pratt with 20. Scoring 12 each for the Bears were Courtney Crouch, Jordan Ferrand and Anna Sanders. Woodbury tripped the Bears 60-44 on Friday evening with Rachel Hakes scoring 17 points nd Solace Amuson 14. For the Bears, Ferrand and Sanders sank 14 points each.

Tenacious defense by White Bear Lake helped keep the game close, but the Bears fell short against No. 13 ranked Woodbury 60-53 on Friday. The Bears (8-5) also beat Stillwater 63-53 last Tuesday.

“I was very proud of our defensive effort against Michael Jones,” Bears coach Keith Lockwood said, referring to a guard averaging 28 points and signed by a Division I team, Davidson. A combination of Bear defenders limited Jones to 19 points, still the game high.

Jeremy Beckler notched 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Bears (8-5).

Sam Schwartz hit 16 points and Blake Charles nine.

The Bears held off Stillwater 63-53 with Beckler, junior center, pouring in 26 points and snagging 10 rebounds.

Sam Schwatz notched 17 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Blake Charles sank 16 points. Isaac Tessier made five assists.

Local SABR member: Come to Twins Fest and solve Hall of Fame quiz

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A local chapter of the nationwide group of baseball zealots will present, among other things, a display with this quiz at Twins Fest: “Who are the 27 Hall of Famers who played for Minnesota teams BEFORE the Twins arrived in 1961?”

The Halsey Hall Chapter of SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) has a table at Twins Fest each year. Last January was Jim Cox’s first time joining them.

“We realized that we didn’t really have anything to draw people in,” said the retired banker from Circle Pines. “We just had a baseball quiz stacked on the front of the table.”

So this year they created a large display with photos of several Hall of Famers who once played for the Minneapolis Millers, St. Paul Saints, St. Cloud Rox, and other now-defunct minor league teams.

One of them is pictured here. You should recognize him unless you’re under, say, 40.

SABR had its beginnings in Cooperstown, New York in 1971. The founders were inspired by Bill James, probably the most prolific baseball stat nerd of all time. He wrote “The Baseball Abstract,” which revolutionized the way baseball players through history could be analyzed via the huge volumes of statistics the game lends itself to.

Members are devoted to both baseball history and baseball statistics. Their unique slants on stats came to be called “sabermetrics” and gradually became influential to many major league baseball front offices, fans and sports writers.

Cox joined the Halsey Hall Chapter (named after a long-ago Minneapolis sports writer and Twins color commentator) after seeing an item in the Star-Tri-

bune that the group invited a speaker who was pushing for a Negro League pitcher to be named to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Cox was intrigued enough to attend, and once he did, he signed up as a new SABR member. “I actually had never heard of SABR before,” he said.

His own interest lies in baseball lore and personalties much more than stats. He was thrilled at last year’s Twins Fest to suddenly find himself face to face with three-time league batting champ Tony Olivia, and to recognize an old gentleman who pulled up to their table in a wheelchair to be Mudcat Grant, winner of two games for the Twins in the 1965 World Series.

Cox grew up in northern Iowa as an avid Twins fan. “My brother and I used to listen to Herb Carneal and Halsey Hall doing Twins games all the time,” said Cox, adding that their dad took them to Met Stadium once, to see Harmon Killebrew and the Twins face the Yankees with their famous sluggers Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris.

Cox invites fans to consider joining the Halsey Hall Chapter. They have spring and fall meetings with several guest speakers and a variety of oral and visual presentations such as “When Baseball’s Winter Meetings Came to Minneapolis (1948)” and “The Origins of Baseball Umpiring.” There are monthly Saturday morning Hot Stove Breakfasts to talk baseball, a monthly newsletter, travels to townteam games around the state, and ad hoc outings to Saints and Twins games. On one occasion, a club member showed off his memorabilia on Shoeless Joe Jackson. One of the leaders is Stew Thornley, author of several baseball and basketball books and longtime official scorer at major league baseball games.

There’s also Book Club meetings where they hash over baseball literature such as “The Catcher was a Spy” about a 1920’s Yankee catcher turned espio-

Actually, they didn’t have the term “walk-off” yet in 1960, and if you were a member of SABR you would probably know that.

Senior Maria Wagner hits a cast handstand on bars.

Before a packed house for their Mahtomedi Invite on Jan. 13, the Zephyrs once again used their depth to post a winning score of 143.4 against a four-team field consisting of Simley(127.65), St. Anthony(125.8), and Park Center(126.5).

Senior Maria Wagner placed first in the all-around (36.9) and scored a career high on bars(9.25) by landing

her double tuck dismount. Also posting a personal best and capturing first was senior captain Haley Oswald on floor(9.5) as well as placing second in the all-around(35.1). Sophomore Kate Ryan followed closely with a 34.45 all around.

Sticking vault, Wagner won(9.4) and senior captain Olivia Hurt placed third(8.95). On beam, junior Kerri

Manders remained consistent winning with a 9.3 followed by Ryan and Wagner both with an 8.8. Also earning an 8.8 was sophomore Caylee Greeder on bars.

The Zephyrs head into a busy week hosting Tartan on Thursday, Jan. 18 at 6 p.m. and then competing in the Eagan Invitational on Saturday.

Zephyr cagers tumble St. Thomas, climb in Top Ten

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mahtomedi moved up a few more notches in the state basketball rankings after dominating the second half to beat St. Thomas Academy 87-63 on Tuesday, Jan. 9.

The rout of a team that had been ranked third elevated the Zephyrs, not even a Top 20 pick at the outset of the season, from No. 10 to No. 7 in Class 3A. Kermoga Lero led with 28 points, mostly on deadly outside shooting. A 6-foot-3 senior forward averaging 10 points, Lero caught fire against the Cadets, hitting 11 of 15 shots, including 4-for-7 on three’s.

The Zephyrs trailed 41-40 at halftime but ran away from the Cadets 42-23 in the second half.

“We played with great attention on the defensive end in the second half and slowed down a very good offensive team,” coach Keith Newman assessed.

“We shared the ball well both in transition and on our set plays. Getting defensive stops is always key to having a run in the game and that's what we were able to do.”

J’vonne Hadley added 18 points, Jack Shay 16, and Zac Centers 10 for the Zephyrs. Gram O’Malley had 13 for the Cadets, who were called for two technical fouls in the second half as they fell behind a red-hot opponent.

The Zephyrs (9-3) topped St. Anthony Village 81-68 on Thursday with point guard Lindquist pouring in a career-high 28 points. Shay had 16, Lero 15 and Hadley 13.

Lindquist lifted his average to 10.7, giving the Zephyr’s five double-digit scorers. Hadley averages 16.6, Shay 13.7, Lero 10.7 and Zac Centers 10.1.

“I think with the balance we have, it is difficult to defend us,” Newman said.

MAHTOMEDI SPORTS BRIEFS Matmen 3-4 in busy week Mahtomedi wrestlers had seven dual meets last week, posting a 3-4 record.

At the St. Paul Johnson quad, they beat St. Paul Central 69-9, Johnson 68-12 and Roseville 37-30.

The Zephyrs lost to South St. Paul 41-26 at home in a duel of Section 4A contenders, getting decisions by Hunter Wilsey, Collin Grandstand and Elijah Heatherston; a tech fall by Jake Fitzpatrick; and pins by Bryce

FitzPatrick and Alec Zell.

At Stillwater’s 40th annual Pony Stampede, Mahtomedi lost to Cambridge-Isanti 51-15, Coon Rapids 56-5 and Little Falls 35-34.

Jake Fitzpatrick leads the team with a 30-2 record, followed by Bryce FitzPatrick 26-6, Reid Lawrence 20-13, Wilsey 20-7, Zach Kelsey 18-13, Zell 18-11, Heatherston 16-13, Nate Kujawa 14-12, and Grandstrand 12-12.

Skaters pull out two conference wins Mahtomedi boys hockey, 10-21 and ranked No. 2 in Class 1A, picked up two big conference wins last week, sparked by Charlie Bartholomew.

The senior forward scored the game-winner in overtime to beat Tartan 4-3 on Thursday, then got the first goal against Hill-Murray to launch a 4-2 win Saturday.

In the Suburban East race, the Zephyrs are 6-1-1, Tartan 5-1-0, Hill-Murray 3-2-1, Simley

3-2-1 and St. Thomas Academy 3-0-0.

Bartholomew got the game-winner 4:45 into the extra session, assisted by Joe Paradise. Also scoring goals were Paradise, Colin Hagstrom, and Dallas Duckson, while Bailey Huber made 35 saves.

Against Hill-Murray, the other goals came from Hagstrom, Nikolai Dulak and Paradise.

Huber made 32 saves.

Bartholomew and Dulak lead the team with 10 goals each.

Zephyr girls (11-1) thump South St. Paul at hoops The No. 5 ranked Mahtomedi girls cruised to a 72-40 win at South St. Paul on Friday evening. Emma Grothaus sank 22 points to lead the Zephyrs (11-1). Annika Sougstad had 14, Josey Underwood and Eve Farrell seven each and Ella Hronski six. For the Packers (3-9), Roxy Veldman scored 11 and Brynn Bauer 10.

Unique adventure: Cruising the great loop Joe and Pam Hallberg of North Oaks and Fort Myers Beach, Florida, received their BaccaLOOPerate degree from America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association. The degree is given in recognition of completing a 6,000-mile adventure around America’s Great Loop.

Boaters circumnavigate the eastern part of the United States and Canada, cruising up the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, through the New York State Canals, into the Great Lakes, down the inland river system, across the Gulf of Mexico, and around the southern tip of Florida.

The Hallbergs crossed their wake on Dec. 14, 2017 in their home port of Fort Myers Beach. They did so aboard Tasteful Traveler, their 42-foot Nordic Tugs trawler.

The couple spent a total of 12 months of cruising over a three-year period. Their trip around the Great Loop carried them through New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., the Thousand Islands area between northern New York and southeastern Ontario, Peterborough, New Hampshire, Appalachicola, Florida, Charleston, South Carolina, Oxford, Maryland, and many lock walls.

“It’s an amazing adventure,” they said, “but the treasures are the people we’ve met along the way and the friendships we’ve gained. We’d like to say thanks to all the loopers and buddie boats for making this the best

trip ever for us.”

Joe Hallberg owned Hallberg Engineering Inc., a company founded by his father Warren, and relocated to White Bear Lake in 1998. He sold the business in 2013.

Pam is a part-time travel agent who focuses on food and wine destinations. They ate their way around the loop, noted the couple, and particularly enjoyed the “low country” food of South Carolina and Georgia. A stop in upstate New York at the Culinary Institute of America was also a highlight. Food is prepared by student chefs who hope to someday land a job at a three- or four-star restaurant.

For more on their adventure, visit the Hallberg's blog: joeandpamafloat.wordpress.com.

Approximately 100 boats complete the Great Loop each year, making it a feat more unique than swimming the English Channel or Climbing Mount Everest. Throughout this trip of a lifetime, they relied on South Carolina-based America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association to provide them with information and assistance vital to the completion of their journey.

Reign of the ice castle returns to Stillwater

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

STILLWATER — A royal winter palace has risen on the banks of the St. Croix River, marking the second year the Ice Castle has returned to downtown Stillwater. The Stillwater Ice Castle formally opened on Jan. 5 this year.

Ice Castles LLC is a Utah-based business that constructs ornate castles such as the once in Stillwater in locations around North America. The Minnesota castle used to be in Eden Prairie, but moved to Stillwater in 2016.

The castle has a unique construction method and design, using running water and icicles as construction materials, rather than the blocks of ice seen in many traditional castles.

“It's more organic; it's not the pristine, clean deal like you'll have at the winter palace. It's much more like a frozen waterfall or a glacier,” Ryan Davis of Ice Castles told the Stillwater City Council when he presented the concept to them in 2016.

The method was invented by Ice Castles founder Brent Christensen. While trying to create an ice structure in his neighborhood for kids, he realized the creation was more structurally sound when it was fortified with icicles and then sprayed with water. On a given day, Davis said the business will grow between 5,000-15,000 icicles. All are pulled off by hand, carried and placed by hand to build up the castle bit by bit.

“It's like one solid rock, so it's totally flexible and it's super strong,” Davis said.

The walls of ice are approximately 15 feet thick, and a number of features including tunnels, passages and slides can be constructed inside.

beneath the layers of ice to create a magical ambiance, and music will play throughout the castle.

Last year, the castle shared Lowell Park with the hockey rink built for Hockey Day Minnesota. Ice Castle managers thought about moving the site of the castle a little further north in the park, but according to site manager Amanda Roseth, the ground there wasn't as suitable.

“After the city did some assessment of the ground, they it's very soft, so there was concern about the weight of the ice castle shifting the soil and pushing on the retaining wall along the river,” Roseth said. “They just wanted to err on the side of caution. It's pretty loose soil down there. It probably has to do with sawdust dumped there during Lumberjack Days.”

The castle remains in the same site it occupied last year, although the long, narrow space offers a few design challenges.

“We changed the design slightly, but we're very limited in what we can do because of the location of the site,” Roseth said. “It's very long and narrow, there's not a whole of lot design leeway there. We have a walkthrough wall so it will walk you through the outside wall as a passageway to go into a short slide. (Visitors will) get the feeling like they're part of the build crew.”

Roseth also said the water fountain is more interactive this year; its dancing patterns have been coordinated with the music that plays through the castle.

“We still have the double enclosed slide, the dome room, all of that this

year. The biggest difference is an additional slide with a walkthrough passageway,” Roseth said.

As with last year, the castle will offer several special events, such as field trip opportunities for students in the school district. Girl Scout troops can receive a patch when they visit, and there will be princess teas, fire performers, and star watching parties with WCCO meteorologist Mike Lynch.

DEAR STUDENTS OF WHITE BEAR WHO WALK ON BLOOM AVENUE Your dance party on the roof of our semi delivery truck was damaging to the roof's integrity. We also noticed the heated side mirror was broken off the following day after we asked you to refrain from being on the semi roof. My total repair was $56.90 for the side mirror and $34.90 for the bracket and a few hours of labor at a shop to reseal the roof.

Your donations are welcome to cover the repair.

Sincerely, Small Business Owner

Use renovations to create healthier homes Home renovation projects are done for several different reasons, whether to update styles, repair damaged or broken items or to achieve more living space.

More than ever before, homeowners are choosing improvement projects geared toward making their homes healthier.

Establishing a healthy home means different things to different people. For example, to an environmentalist, a healthy home may incorporate ecofriendly or green products. To those with young children or mobility-impaired seniors, a healthy home may be one free from potential hazards. Others may view a healthy home as one that alleviates allergies.

The World Health Organizations says inadequate housing conditions, such as poor ventilation, radon, urban pollution, and moisture issues, can contribute to many preventable diseases and injuries — especially respiratory problems, nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Furthermore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air quality as a top five environmental risk to public health.

EPA studies have found that indoor air pollution levels were roughly two to five times greater than outdoor pollution levels.

People interested in making their homes healthier can embrace these renovations and lifestyle changes.

• Be aware of furniture materials. Toxic PBDEs, which are chemicals used as flame retardants on furniture fabrics produced prior to 2006, can send toxins into the air. Some manufacturers may still use these flame retardants in new forms, but with similar risks.

Before purchasing furniture, ask if a product is treated, and select naturally fire-resistant materials

like wool and cotton.

• Lighten up. Lighting is often underappreciated but can have a dramatic impact on whether a home feels inviting, warm and/or uplifting. Experiment with different types of bulbs and lighting fixtures to turn drab and dreary environments into brighter places.

Lighting may improve mood and productivity.

• Let the sun shine in. Modify window treatments to let more sunlight into the house. There is evidence that the sun, particularly UV light, is a potent bactericide. The Sunlight Institute advises that there’s no harm in letting natural sunlight do its work, as bacteria within eight feet of low-intensity UV light can be killed in 10 minutes.

• Inspect and service woodburning appliances. A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology has found regular inhalation of wood smoke limits immune activity and function, and anyone who burns wood indoors should be aware of these potential health risks. Ensuring proper ventilation of smoke and routinely cleaning the chimney can help cut down on particulate matter.

• Turn to nontoxic cleaning products, pesticides and insecticides. Always opt for nontoxic, natural products when cleaning in and around the house.

• Declutter the home. A cluttered, hectic space can affect emotions and mental state, never mind attracting dust and making a home harder to clean.

Spending time in spaces that do not elicit stressful feelings is healthier and can help residents to rest and recharge.

Making a home healthier can be on the list of this year’s renovation plans.

Don’t look now but the sun is setting now after 5pm, so this means you might actually see it on your drive home. A good pair of sunglasses at this time of year is a must with the sun being so low in the sky. Also, our average temperature begins to rise as we’re past the cold week, on average. It seems though its been one Arctic front after another. We did add to our snow total with much of the region picking up 4-5 inches from last weeks passing Clippers. One thing that makes this cold weather bearable is knowing the Vikings are heading to the NFC Championship game!!
