Coronavirus poses ‘low immediate risk’ but state prepared to respond BY ELIZABETH CALLEN SHOREVIEW EDITOR
2019-nCoV, more widely known as coronavirus, has not yet made its way to Minnesota, but state health officials say that should that change any time soon, they are prepared to deal with it “While what we know today about this virus and other viruses from the same family suggests that this is really a low immediate risk for the general public, we, of course, consider any new infectious disease a serious concern and we’re taking precautions,” said Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Commissioner Jan Malcolm in a recent news conference. The term “coronavirus” applies to a large family of viruses, which are estimated to cause approximately one-third of all cases of the common cold. The strand associated with this recent outbreak, 2019-nCoV, is a viral respiratory illness caused by a member of the coronavirus family and has not been previously seen in humans before. While it is unknown exactly how 2019-nCoV spreads, Malcolm said that health officials have learned “a great deal” from previous outbreaks of other coronaviruses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus in 2012. “We know that finding cases quickly and responding to them quickly is so very key. That rapid response helps ensure that the ill persons receive the care that they need, and it lessens the chance of other people getting sick, thereby containing the spread of the virus,” Malcom said. With similar viruses, person-toperson spread occurs primarily through close contact, when an infected person coughs or sneezes, thereby spreading respiratory
share stories, advice BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR
If newlyweds are in need of some advice, they can surely find it at Good Life Senior Living in Hugo. Three couples are represented there by a cumulative total of 178 years of marriage experience. Their love stories are inspiring not only to their families, but also to Good Life Activities Director Sarah Cairins, who gets emotional when she talks about these successful couples. “They have inspired me to find the perfect relationship. I have never been married, but they have taught me to never settle,” she said.
Bob & Marilyn Rosenquist Bob and Marilyn Rosenquist have lived in Hugo since 1972. Marilyn originally hails from Two Harbors, Bob from St. Paul. “I came to the cities to work, and then I met him and ended up staying here,” Marilyn explained. “I talked my friend from Two Harbors into coming down for a job, and we found an ad in the paper for (a) Girl Friday. I sent my friend over there and she met
Bob, but she had (already) met her husband so she was not interested in Bob.” Feb. 10 marked the couple’s 58th wedding anniversary. Bob worked for a construction company for many years while Marilyn did clerical work. Marilyn then chose to stay home and take care of their two children. Bob said his favorite thing about their relationship is that they have always spent a lot of time together. “She wanted to be a part of the things I was doing, and I wanted to be a part of the things she was doing,” he said. Even now, Bob makes sure to stop by Good Life on a daily basis to visit his sweetheart, who lives at the new facility situated along Forest Boulevard in Hugo. Marilyn said her favorite thing about Bob is his intelligence. “He is smart. When I want to know something, I always go to him,” she said. The Rosenquists have many fond memories of traveling and exploring new places together and with their children and grandchildren.

Three couples at Good Life Senior Living in Hugo have all been married for well over five decades. Pictured are Bob and Marilyn Rosenquist (center), William and Maggie Snyder (left) and Stan and Marietta Wilson (right).
Bob said if he could give newlyweds advice, it would be to go to church. “Once our kids started getting boyfriends and girlfriends, I always told them to go to church ... I think religion secures a family,” he said. “I’ve also learned after 58 years that you can’t train your wife.”
William & Maggie Snyder William and Maggie Snyder are from White Bear Lake. They have been married for 62 years. Maggie said the two met each other many moons ago while she was working in a drugstore. “He stopped in and had a Coke,” she recalled. The two dated for about a year before they got married.

Sunlit sailing season finale
After early morning rain showers subsided, the sun emerged in time for high school sailors to maneuver their boats around a course on White Bear Lake during the 2019 Art Johnson Regatta Saturday, Oct. 19.

“I threw my back out and was home alone. A therapy specialist was sent to come and get me. I never heard of such service, most importantly, I could stand up straight after 4 visits!” - JM
How and when should I prepare for my child’s first dental visit?
Q:
Help us celebrate over 29 years in downtown White Bar Lake!
9. Credibility/Trust
A great question for this February, which is Children’s Dental Health Month! The ADA recommends the first visit happen between the ages of 1 and 2. Of course, hopefully conversations with the family’s doctor and dentist have been occurring before, during and after the pregnancy, to help ensure good dental homecare and nutrition. Baby teeth are important for chewing, speaking, socialization, and holding space for the adult teeth. Parent’s participation is especially important for the child’s first 7 years. So, we recommend talking to your dental office prior to the first visit, to go over what the office will try to accomplish. Above all else, we want this visit to go well and be a positive, educational experience. Special “first visit” books, puppets, videos and child sized chairs are utilized as necessary to help develop trust and comfort for the child. We do as much diagnostically as we can, while keeping it upbeat for the child and parent. The appointment is reviewed, recommendations made, and the next visit set up and most importantly, we want the little one to leave with a big smile!
Call us! —We can help.

White Bear Lake Area Schools may bleed orange and black on the field and in the gym, but when it comes to the earth, the district has been going green lately. District staff and students related how the White Bear Lake community has been taking environmental strides at a White Bear School Board meeting Oct. 14. Following the district's recent strategic planning efforts, it has made it a goal to embed sustainability within the school district, reported Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Sara Paul. “We are stewards of the earth,” she explained. Over the last few years, the district has been quietly mak-

Local love stories
t’s true, I am a hopeless romantic. I live for flowers just because and adore romantic comedies. Every year when Valentine’s Day rolls around, I set out to find a good feature story about area residents that I think our readers might find interesting. Last year, I heard about two Hugo residents, John and Robin Udstuen, who had been married for 35 years. I knew Out and it was a story I had to cover when I About heard John mention that Robin was Shannon his first and only Granholm girlfriend. You just don’t hear stories like that anymore. This year, I was able to track down two very different stories for the holiday. The first story, which starts on the front page, is about three couples who have been married for well over five decades. I had so much fun spending time with each of them and learning about how they met, what their lives have been like and why their marriages have worked for so long. As a person who has only been married for almost five years, I was eager to ask them about advice they would give to young couples. One common theme I heard I was to make sure you spend time together. In today’s society, we often get so consumed in our own busy worlds that we forget to pause and make time for one another. The other story I wrote is about a Centerville couple who has been married for almost a year and a half. I found out about them at a Lino City Council meeting back in October, when they were officially hired as paid-on-call firefighters. The fact that they had the same last name caught my attention. I thought it was interesting that they both joined the same fire department and wanted to know more about that. The other day when I sat down with them, I quickly found out that this isn’t the only endeavor they have done together. They are also both nursing students at Century College and work as EMTs at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. I would imagine that studying together and working together at multiple jobs would be more than enough to drive any couple crazy, but they love it and continue to make a great team. I’m sure there are many more couples out there in our communities who have stories worth telling in honor of Valentine’s Day. If you know of one, feel free to let us know about it and perhaps we can pursue it next year. Happy Valentine’s Day!

‘A mighty political experiment’ turns a century old
n Feb. 14, 1920, Carrie Chapman Catt launched the League of Women Voters at the fi nal meeting of the National American Woman Suffrage Association: “The spirit of this new crusade will travel from state to state, from city to city … a nationwide campaign against the world’s oldest enemy, ignorance.” The Minneapolis Tribune called this meeting “the most important ever held by women in the United States.” In the words of the Minnesota League’s fi rst president, Clara Ueland, this “mighty political experiment” would transform fledgling women voters into educated, fully engaged Movers & political actors. The League of Shakers Women Voters began as a grassroots Joan Hillebrand organization sponsoring voter Neumiller education and i t ti campaigns and registration emphasizing consensual decision making. By 1924, leagues covered over 80% of congressional districts, and Minnesota women were early and eager participants. Minnesota suffrage societies counted 30,000plus women members in 1919, the year the state legislature enacted presidential suffrage and the Minnesota LWV was born. A year later, Minnesota ratified the 19th Amendment, and 87 South St.

region, sent delegations to the United Nations and hosted international citizen groups. In the last two years, the LWV-WBLA has moderated dozens of candidate events and held public forums on gerrymandering, the 2020 census and the history of Minnesota women’s suffrage. 2020 will see public forums on the new presidential primary and precinct caucuses, the media’s role in elections, redistricting and Metropolitan Council governance. Fall 2020 brings more candidate forums and voter registration events at Century College and area high schools. It may have begun as an experiment, but the League of Women Voters is increasingly relevant today, due in part to its proud adherence to nonpartisanship. LWV neither supports nor opposes candidates or political parties at any level of government, always working on vital issues of public concern and providing a meeting ground for citizens of all political leanings. We need organizations like the LWV now more than ever to remind citizens of the tremendous power of informed individuals. This power is essential to the success of our democracy today and into the future. Joan Hillebrand Neumiller is LWV-WBLA Vice President and Publicity Director.

Paul women became the fi rst fully franchised female voters in the U.S. by voting on a water bill. Throughout its history, the LWV has met the changing needs of our democracy without losing focus on voting rights and political education. In Minnesota, early members worked to create a better life for families, sponsoring legislation to benefit mothers and children and expand opportunities for women in public life. Leagues opened citizenship schools for local women, an enterprise continued today through voter registration efforts and free public forums. Leagues also publish pamphlets containing information about community and government leaders and conduct studies on important problems such as money in elections, waste management, affordable housing, and immigration. The LWV has been in the greater White Bear Lake area since the 1930s, when local women organized around a common desire to be better informed voters. This organization grew over time to include the surrounding communities of North Oaks, Mahtomedi, Arden Hills, Shoreview and the St. Croix Valley. The LWV of White Bear Lake Area now serves 32 communities, three school districts and three counties. The LWV-WBLA has a strong record of civic engagement, conducting studies of civics education, domestic violence, campaign fi nance and water quality. It has sponsored candidate events and public forums throughout the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Skeptical of climate change I am pejoratively labeled a climate denier, placing me on a par with those doubting the historicity or scope of Jewish genocide a few generations ago. This tactic only shows weakness, a lack of substantive justification for the belief climate changers wish to sell. There are three reasons I can’t swim in their murk. First, the question of science. Early data disingenuousness aside, there are still lingering problems. Years ago a student at the German university where I worked recounted that he had to retake his firstyear coursework, as the science had become outdated and he needed to be current. He was studying the well-established discipline of physics, not the nascent study of climate. Science rarely has the last word, as data sets, interpretive grids and computer power and accuracy all are in flux. Apart from omniscience it’s hard to affirm that all variables are known, let alone accurately mapped. Further, I’ve seen a list of hundreds of peer-reviewed studies calling into question various aspects of climate-change assertions. These few points alone suggest that the science supporting climate change is at best more immature than it (or any politician) wishes to confess. Second, I don’t believe climate-change supporters are out to save the planet. Rather, they seem to be protecting status quo, a point made by numerous developing countries. The Earth doesn’t need our protection (stewardship yes, not protection), as the Creator has built in significant mechanisms to restore it to health in the face of natural disasters (asteroids, earthquakes and volcanoes) and manmade disasters (wars, pollution and poor resource management). If one is inclined toward the gods of evolution, then continued creative destruction will be as it has been. Who are we to alter it? Save-the-planet Messianism is the product of the entertainment industry (including “news”) and, if transgressing its imaginary boundaries, should be viewed with great suspicion. Governance should be predicated
on a platform of reality. If we wish to protect existing development, let’s be honest about it and invest wisely. Third, I am wary of ceding sovereignty in any form to globalist elites. As citizens, we have, individually and corporately, a stewardship of life together. We can work through various volunteer associations or governmental entities to meet our local and regional obligations prudently. Distant governance, however, rules by decree, issuing mandates delivered through their emissaries, the bureaucracy. Controls and accountability are weakened. We too easily then become subjects, sacrificing our birthright for a bowl of pottage. The governance of freedom is too precious to yield to faraway strangers. For these reasons I retain my skepticism, and I shall wear my label as a badge of honor. James Nash White Bear Lake
Preserving history Kudos to several new homeowners who are saving history in downtown White Bear Lake. The church on Stewart was purchased by a couple who will use it as a residence, making it their home. The original windows were unearthed today when I drove by. It is such a beautiful sight! The couple should be commended on their efforts to save a piece of history! Gloria Hage White Bear Lake
Lead dangerous for wildlife Lead in sinkers used in fishing and ammunition used in hunting are very harmful to wildlife. Did you know that many loons and swans have died from lead positioning after ingesting lead sinkers from the bottom of lakes and rivers in Minnesota? There are many non-lead options that can be used for both fishing and hunting, but many people are not aware. Please help us get the word out! Lead is dangerous and harmful and non-lead options are a great choice. Ideally, lead sinkers and ammunition would be illegal to use in our
state. Our hope is to help bring legislation forward that would do just that. Please contact your local legislator and let them know you want to keep our wildlife safe by banning the use of lead sinkers and ammunition. Together we can ensure Minnesota remains plentiful in wildlife. Camdyn Bachmeier, Lily Rosenthal, Lilah Amon and Addy Shimek Girl Scout Troop 58067 White Bear Lake
Bear’ly Open a great success! I’d like to acknowledge and thank the leadership and volunteers of the Bear’ly Open this year! Lisa Beecroft, Ken Galloway, Perry Peterson and all the volunteers from White Bear Lake Rotary, White Bear Lake Area Emergency Food Shelf, City of White Bear Public Works, and Parks and Rec. The Bear’ly Open was an incredible event, with so many people working together to raise funds and awareness for the greater White Bear Lake food shelf! The wonderful outcome of this event is helping residents in need in our community. Thanks again for the leadership and volunteer efforts to make this event fun and successful. Activities like this is why the greater White Bear Lake area is so vibrant and special. Neighbors helping neighbors! Bill Foussard White Bear Lake
skills. The arts help kids develop empathy and compassion for others. Sports help kids become leaders and work on team-building skills. They both help kids develop self-confidence, a sense of belonging, time management, mental toughness, and so much more. So, what happens when the two meet and conflict and combine at the same time of year? Everyone works together to do both! This year, 10-year-old Jake wanted to participate in both youth hockey and Children's Performing Arts' winter musical, “Frozen Jr.” It just so happens that the first weekend of shows and the district playoffs conflicted. Instead of his team being upset Jake would have to miss some very important games, they acted like teammates and stepped up to support their friend. Jake's team, together with their parents, attended the first Sunday afternoon show. Sometimes we think the two things are mutually exclusive, athletics and the arts. Kids can do both. The skills and accomplishments gained by participating in both, along with the empathy and sportsmanship this team has shown, will be remembered not only by Jake, but by his teammates and all the parents who saw how these kids were able to build the bridge between the arts and sports.

Not ready to fly Hey J.B. Jr. (Jim Brunzell Jr., Feb. 7 Letters to the Editor, “Senate Republicans sell out”), as former Governor Jesse Ventura would say, go back to mama and suckle a bit longer you high cryer, you ain’t ready to fly. Luke Michaud White Bear Lake
Athletics versus the arts: Do they have to be mutually exclusive?
I’d like to extend a thank you and shout out to the White Bear Lake Rotary Club on their 40th Anniversary Celebration. As Rotarians, we are grateful for the many volunteers and long-standing support of so many service, charitable and non-profit organizations in the White Bear Lake Area. We are blessed to preside in a community that possesses a high sense of pride and community spirit, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is due in no small part to the work of these many fine organizations.
It has been well documented that both sports and the arts help play a major role in developing unique

Township board greenlights Water Gremlin permits BY CYNTHIA LUECK SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Water Gremlin is under orders from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to clean up its act. On Feb. 3, the company sought and received permission from White Bear Lake Township for a 180-day, three-phase cleanup operation. A January 2019 MPCA investigation found that Water Gremlin had violated its pollution permit by failing to report emissions for 15 years and had exposed the community to illegal levels of trichloroethylene (TCE). On Jan. 17, 2020, MPCA issued an administrative order allowing Water Gremlin to resume coating operations using volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under certain conditions, including phased-in restart and new testing, continued air monitoring and new air
modeling and a limit on VOC emissions of 90 tons/year. The first phase relocates part of its manufacturing operations from 4400 Otter Lake Road to its south campus at 4316 Otter Lake Road. Three employees would move from the north campus to the south. In the second phase, the company will erect a temporary structure in its parking lot at 4400 Otter Lake Road, where employees will remove lead contaminates from their bodies and clothing before heading home at the end of the workday. The structure will have portable water storage to capture gray water and haul it away for disposal. The third phase involves a complete remake of the company’s existing employee locker room. The expansion will put permanent shower facilities in the locker room.
In other action the council: • Heard a request from Clear Channel Outdoor for a new contract for billboards in the Polar Lakes Park area. The contract would cover the next 20 years and would allow for installation of an electronic billboard at the site of the northernmost billboard. The electronic board would change messages every eight seconds; township regulations limit changes to every 30 seconds. (MnDOT allows six-second changes.) The township would have to make five amendments to its sign ordinance to accommodate Clear Channel’s request. It was noted that the area is in the signed overlay district and that funds from Clear Channel are used to develop area parks.

St. Croix Chocolate Company Maybe chocolate on Valentine’s Day is a bit of a cliché—but aren’t all clichés based in truth? With the St. Croix Valley being home to a world-renowned chocolate company, celebrating Valentine’s Day locally is made all the sweeter. St. Croix Chocolate Company, based in Marine on St. Croix, recently took the gold for Best Overall Truffle Artistry at the 6th annual Chocolate Truffle Artistry Awards, sponsored by the International Chocolate Salon Awards. The winning entry featured two hand-painted koi fish, fi lled with yuzu ganache and honey ganache respectively, but the Marine on St. Croix store has plenty of festive options for Valentine’s Day—even edible heart-shaped boxes.

SENIOR SWEETHEARTS: ‘Yes, dear’ key to success FROM PAGE 1A
Saint Paul Park for many years while Maggie worked as a health aide at an elementary school in Newport. They have three sons and, now, many grandchildren. When asked why they think they have made it to 62 years and counting, Maggie simply responded, “I don’t know.” William said, “We have had a good marriage, and we didn’t fight too much. We have never thought about getting separated or divorced. We get along fairly well.” Bob’s favorite thing about Maggie is the fact that she is a “really good cook.” Maggie said her favorite thing about Bob is that “he likes to eat.” Some of their favorite memories are traveling together and with their children. Bob’s advice to newlyweds is to spend time together. “Take vacations. Getting away once in a while means a lot.”
Stan & Marietta Wilson High school sweethearts Stan and Marietta Wilson are from Minneapolis. They have been married for 58 years. “She tried to get away from me, but I got her. I had to fight off all the competition, but I got her,” Stan said chuckling. “She is not just my wife; she is my life.” Stan worked at Honeywell while Marietta stayed home to “take care of me and the (two) kids,” Stan said. Like the other couples, the Wilsons cherish their memories of traveling. Stan says there are three phrases newlyweds should remember, “Yes, dear,” “You are right, dear,” and “I love you.” “You have to have mutual friendship and respect,” he said. The one thing Stan really likes about Marietta is the fact that she has always been really easy to get along with. Marietta simply said, “I’m happy with him.”
Stan has some more advice, too. “You have to like each other, it can’t just be physical. You have to like the person to be able to get along with them and laugh with them. Without that, it is tough to make a marriage last more than a few years,” he said. For her part, Good Life’s Cairins is determined to keep searching. “You don’t hear of relationships today like they were back then. About a month ago, a gentleman made an inappropriate comment to me, and I was just thinking that these guys would never say something like that to their wives. I am not settling until I fi nd my gentleman.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

CORONAVIRUS: Everyday preventative actions could stop spread FROM PAGE 1A
droplets. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of nearby persons, or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), it is currently unclear if a person can get 2019nCoV by touching a surface or object infected with the virus and then touching their own mouth, nose or eyes. Minnesota has a “very strong” disease surveillance system in place, according to Malcolm. Health care providers across the state have been alerted to contact MDH if a patient with recent travel history to Wuhan, China displays respiratory symptoms. At that point, MDH will collect laboratory samples and submit them to CDC in Atlanta for confirmatory testing. As of Feb. 7, three samples had been sent to CDC for testing. Two came back negative, and the results of the third are pending. The primary symptoms of 2019-nCoV include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Given that, and the fact that Minnesota is in the midst of cold and flu season, it is difficult to distinguish between novel coronavirus and another more common respiratory illness.
“This means it’s quite possible that many ill people will get tested but turn out not to have novel coronavirus but rather influenza or some other infection,” Malcolm said. “Quite frankly, that what we would like to see. We would rather err on the side of caution and be testing a lot of folks who turn out not to have novel coronavirus.” Minnesota is not among the states receiving travelers from areas of China most closely associated with the novel coronavirus outbreak, but Malcolm said it is possible that one or more cases of the virus could be confirmed in the state, especially if humanto-human transmission becomes more common. In the meantime, Malcolm recommended that Minnesotans follow everyday actions to prevent the spread of coronavirus and other respiratory illnesses. “The best recommendation we can give, quite frankly, is to take the same general precautions that we always recommend for avoiding colds and flu,” she said. “People should stay home when they’re sick, cover their cough and practice good hand washing. It’s really pretty amazing how those lessons our mothers taught us, how far those go.”
CORONAVIRUS AND PETS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW With the news of the coronavirus coming out of China and now cascading into a world health threat, many are wondering if dogs and cats can get the virus and if it's transferable to humans. Dr. Graham Brayshaw, chief veterinarian at Animal Humane Society, says "Both dogs and cats have the ability to contract a coronavirus but they can only get a species-specific version of the disease. It cannot be transferred from animals to humans.” Dr. Brayshaw added that coronavirus is rarely fatal to dogs and cats. Most cats carry the virus, but it usually remains dormant. Dogs can get it from one another. Coronavirus symptoms in cats are typically similar to an upper respiratory infection or kitty cold. In dogs, it involves gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea. Many times the virus is mistaken for a simple upper respiratory illness or stomach issues. Like other canine and feline viruses, coronavirus is treated with medication and supportive care.
From press release
Twin Cities Orthopedics naming rights approved for Vadnais Sports Center The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO) for exclusive naming rights of the Vadnais Sports Center. As part of the 15-year agreement, the facility will be renamed TCO Sports Garden. “We are pleased to begin this long-term partnership with a community-minded organization that is not only located close to the facility, but also shares our values for a healthy, vibrant community by strengthening individual, family and community health and well-being,” said board Chair Toni Carter. TCO Sports Garden will feature two NHL regulation hockey rinks and a new indoor turf facility. Commissioners also approved a construction agreement for an 80,000-square-foot year-round indoor turf facility that will be built in 2020 to replace the facility’s former dome structure. The sports center was purchased by Ramsey
County in 2014. It hosts 1.5 million users and event attendees annually at events that include hockey tournaments, soccer leagues, gymnastic meets and community expos. “We’re grateful for this opportunity, and truly believe TCO Sports Garden is a big win for Ramsey County and the greater Vadnais Heights community,” said TCO Vice President of Clinic Services Becky Anderson. “Since opening our state-of-the-art TCO clinic next door in 2017, we’ve seen demand continue to rise for expert rehabilitation, sports medicine and sports performance services. We’re the official sports medicine provider for three local high schools, and we support dozens of youth teams, booster clubs and other groups in the Northeast metro throughout the year. This naming rights agreement deepens our ties within the local community, and represents the exciting growth and opportunities coming to residents
across Ramsey County.” TCO will invest $1.95 million toward the facility over 15 years, including $60,000 in 2020 and $135,000 annually through 2034. The agreement includes an option for a five-year extension. In addition to naming rights for the facility, the agreement includes rights for usage of 5,500 square feet of office space within the sports center. Funds generated through the agreement will be used to assist with financing the construction of the new indoor turf facility. Construction will begin this spring and is planned to be completed before the end of the year. The sports complex’s new identity as TCO Sports Garden will be celebrated at a future community event when construction begins on the turf facility this spring. Submitted

BREAKTHROUGH MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS
Laser Therapy The Opioid Free, Surgery Free Solution for Pain and Inflammation. IMAGINE A DAY WITH NO PAIN
ADVANCED PAIN RELIEF
Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C., of White Bear Lake, has offered Summus Medical Laser treatments in his practice since 2016 and confirms these findings.
Unless you or someone you know has struggled with severe injury, chronic pain, or degenerative disease, it’s difficult 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.
“I’m thrilled with the outcome of Summus Medical 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
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. Summus Medical 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.
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. Treatments are administered by a technician, using a hand-held device the size of a flashlight. 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 SECRET IS LIGHT ENERGY Summus Medical Laser, also known as High Power Laser Therapy, targets damaged tissue with specific 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.
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.
The result? Accelerated wound healing, as
CONDITIONS TREATED WITH Summus Medical 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 Summus Medical Laser include: • Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Back and Neck Pain
• Knee Problems
• Sciatic Pain
• Tendinitis, Trigger Fingers
• Arthritis pain, Degenerative Discs/Joints
• Bunion Pains, Plantar Fasciitis
THE GOAL IS HEALING, NOT MERELY SYMPTOM RELIEF
For too long, medicine has focused on symptom relief rather than true healing. Summus Medical Laser offers an alternative, and it’s a welcome change for athletes as well as patients interested in natural remedies. Steve Donohue, Asst. Athletic Trainer of the N.Y. Yankees, reports, “We use the Summus Medical 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!”
• Sprains and/or Strains • Bruises, Contusions, Burns • Headaches, TMJ, Sinus Trouble • Athletic Injuries • Work-Related and Auto Injuries
More than 1200 studies conducted over 40 years worldwide have shown the powerful therapeutic benefits 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 flexion and pressure sensitivity after every treatment
NOW AVAILABLE IN WHITE BEAR LAKE!
Are you a candidate for Summus Medical 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 Summus Medical 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. Clinic hours are 8:00am and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the “Summus Medical Laser Evaluation.” Sincerely, Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C.

Sunlit sailing season finale
After early morning rain showers subsided, the sun emerged in time for high school sailors to maneuver their boats around a course on White Bear Lake during the 2019 Art Johnson Regatta Saturday, Oct. 19. The White Bear Sailing School hosted more than 100 participants representing teams from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois at the annual two-day event.

Solar installations have been put up at Oneka, Willow, Birch, Lakeaires and Matoska elementary schools, and Sunrise Park Middle School. The district hopes to begin educational programs regarding solar power in the future. The district has put LED lighting in all secondary gyms and larger parking lots, Roeser added. The switch saves on maintenance costs. “Now with the LEDs, they are pretty much maintenance-free for the next 15 years,” he noted. “In the building operations department we are always looking for ways to make

“I threw my back out and was home alone. A therapy specialist was sent to come and get me. I never heard of such service, most importantly, I could stand up straight after 4 visits!” - JM
How and when should I prepare for my child’s first dental visit?
Q:
Help us celebrate over 29 years in downtown White Bar Lake!
9. Credibility/Trust
A great question for this February, which is Children’s Dental Health Month! The ADA recommends the first visit happen between the ages of 1 and 2. Of course, hopefully conversations with the family’s doctor and dentist have been occurring before, during and after the pregnancy, to help ensure good dental homecare and nutrition. Baby teeth are important for chewing, speaking, socialization, and holding space for the adult teeth. Parent’s participation is especially important for the child’s first 7 years. So, we recommend talking to your dental office prior to the first visit, to go over what the office will try to accomplish. Above all else, we want this visit to go well and be a positive, educational experience. Special “first visit” books, puppets, videos and child sized chairs are utilized as necessary to help develop trust and comfort for the child. We do as much diagnostically as we can, while keeping it upbeat for the child and parent. The appointment is reviewed, recommendations made, and the next visit set up and most importantly, we want the little one to leave with a big smile!
Call us! —We can help.

White Bear Lake Area Schools may bleed orange and black on the field and in the gym, but when it comes to the earth, the district has been going green lately. District staff and students related how the White Bear Lake community has been taking environmental strides at a White Bear School Board meeting Oct. 14. Following the district's recent strategic planning efforts, it has made it a goal to embed sustainability within the school district, reported Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Sara Paul. “We are stewards of the earth,” she explained.

Bears’ Nordic has one state qualifier, Loppnow BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
When Lauren Loppnow crossed the finish line, she collapsed in a heap and asked, “Did I make it?” The White Bear Lake coaches were able to tell her that she did indeed grab the last qualifying spot, finishing 17th, at the Section 4 Nordic Ski meet Thursday at Hyland Park Reserve in Bloomington. The Bear boys placed sixth and the girls seventh among 11 schools as the season otherwise concluded. Loppnow, a junior, will compete at state Thursday at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. Last year, she missed state qualifying by two spots. “Lauren spent the summer training, and used her cross country season as a way to build a base for her Nordic training,” coach Seth Salenger said. “She took every opportunity to race, competing in a high school schedule as well as her Junior National Qualifying races.” After the morning classic race, Loppnow was one spot out of qualifying, dueling several girls within 30 seconds of each other. After the first 1,500 meters, Loppnow made her move, looking strong and determined, Salenger said. She gained two spots to make the final cut. Megan Ryan placed 25th, Maddie Bystrom 35th, Nicole Murphy 54th, Jordyn Schmittdiel 58th, Gianna

Mahtomedi gymnasts win conference meet again The Mahtomedi gymnasts were Metro East Conference meet champions on Thursday, marking the 12th straight season they’ve won the MEC meet and all the conference duals. The Zephyrs scored 145.10 points at North St. Paul. “We had two gymnasts unexpectedly out with injuries and illnesses,” coach Debbie Driscoll said, “and our alternates stepped up to turn in strong performances when we needed them. We’re so proud of this team and the way they show up for each other.” Bella Frattalone, Zephyr senior, repeated as conference all all-around champion with 38.275 points, and won all four individual events: vault (9.575), bars (9.575), beam (9.5) and floor (9.35). Kate Ryan, senior, claimed second places in allaround (36.525), vault (9.15), bars (8.95), and floor (9.3), and took third on beam (9.075). The Zephyrs once again showed their depth with junior Zoe Bush second on beam (9.175), and third on vault (9.1) and floor (8.975); freshman Abbey Bush, third on bars (8.8), and fourth on vault (8.7) and floor (8.95); senior Caylee Greeder, fifth on floor (8.6) and bars (8.2), and sixth on vault (8.375); sophomore Tess Mathson, fourth on bars (8.225); and senior Mia Gornik, fi fth on beam (8.375).

Levin’s times were 42.21 and 35.51 for a 1:18.72 total. Blanding placed 14th at state last season.
The Bear boys placed seventh and the girls placed ninth among 18 schools. “The teams skied really well,” said Bear coach Fred Fiern. “We are returning most of the team next season and look to be super strong.” The Bear girls also had Caroline Grubs in 26th place, Lauren Carlson 66th, Madeline McNerlin 68th, Kylie Ko-
kaisel 70th, and Abby Carlson 84th. The Bear boys also had Dylan Christophers in 48th, Matthew Dresen 73rd, Charlie Mott 74th, and Garrett Jumpmann 79th. Stillwater swept boys and girls team and individual championships. Kirsten Anderson and Adam Gaertner were individual winners.

Zephyr boys clip Sibley, St. Thomas Mahtomedi is riding a five-game win streak in boys basketball after clipping Henry Sibley 61-51 on Tuesday (Feb. 4) and St. Thomas Academy by the same 6154 score on Friday. The Zephyrs are 11-8. “We have played well over the last two weeks,” coach Keith Newman said. “The win in the Border Battle against Kaukauna definitely was a confidence-builder in beating a solid team in a close game.” Newman referred to a last-second win over a traditionally strong Wisconsin team on Feb. 1. Against St. Thomas (2-18), the Zephyrs went scoreless for the first 6:15 and trailed 12-0 before finding their bearings. They took a 26-23 lead when Luke Ricker sank three free shots, fouled outside the arc. Brody Fox sank 16 points, Cole Chapman 12, Cal Greene 10 and Ricker nine. Chapman snagged eight rebounds and Ricker seven. Against Sibley (2-18), Fox dominated with 26 points. Coleman supplied 11 rebounds and eight points. BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

White Bear boys hockey has tough week with 3 losses White Bear Lake boys hockey entered last week with a 15-4-1 record, but lost three games in five days, two of them on a northern weekend trip. “Inconsistent play the past month has caught up with us,” coach Tim Sager said. The Bears need to focus, he said, on “getting back to playing within our systems and doing the little things.” The Bears lost to Stillwater (16-5-1) there Tuesday (Feb. 4), giving up four
goals in the third period, the last two empty-netters. Sam Newpower drilled two goals, and Sam Verkerke and Ethan Moerke one each, for the Bears. The Bears lost 3-1 at Grand Rapids (15-7-1) on Friday evening. Verkerke had the Bears goal. Cloquet-Esko-Carlton (13-10-1) thumped the Bears 6-2 on Saturday, notching two short-handed goals and one power play goal. Brady O’Brien and Billy Rose scored for the Bears. Tyler Steffens was in goal for the Bears all three games. In a game Feb. 1 not reported last week, the Bears beat Blaine 2-1 on an overtime goal by Verkerke after Rose tied the score at 12:50 of the third period. Steffens made 40 saves. The Bears will close conference hosting Forest Lake on Tuesday and Cretin-Derham Hall on Thursday.
Brody Fox, Mahtomedi basketball senior, has averaged 20 points per game during a recent five-game winning streak, including 26 and 16 last week against Henry Sibley and St. Thomas Academy. The 6-3 senior guard is averaging 18.3 points for the season. “Brody has become a very good finisher in transition at the rim,” coach Keith Newman said. “He is also disruptive on defense with quick hands and getting steals.” Minnesota’s #1 Volume Toyota Dealer!

Financial Management 3 Investing Tips for Beginners
1. Identify your risk tolerance. Young investors may be told that they're in prime position to choose risky investments because they have less responsibilities than older investors and
more time in the workforce to make up for losses. While that's true, young investors should only be as risky as they're comfortable being. The financial experts at Principal® advise beginners to identify their risk tolerance before investing. Investments with a high potential for return, which might include emerging markets and limited partnerships, also generally have a higher potential risk for loss, and vice versa. Investors should only accept a level of risk they're comfortable with. 2. Diversify your investments. Principal® notes that one way to manage risk is choose a mix of investments from various asset classes. For example, stocks and bonds traditionally move in different directions. So when stocks are up, bonds may be down, and vice versa. Investing in different types of assets is known as diversification, which can help investors protect themselves against risk. 3. Make changes as you age. As investors age, their aversion to risk should grow. The closer you get to retirement the closer you are to needing all the money you have invested and earned over the years. Speak with a financial planner about how to reallocate your investments as retirement draws near. Investing requires risk, but novice investors should not allow that to keep them on the sidelines

the markets. According to a recent analysis from the online financial resource NerdWallet, a 25-year-old millennial who is not investing today and does not invest until he or she retires at 65 could lose out on more than $3.3 million in retirement savings. It can be nerve-wracking for novices to begin investing their money, but these three investment strategies can help calm those nerves and pave the way for a bright financial future.

The power to help change a community is in your hands – literally.
Investing is a key component of long-term financial planning. By choosing the right investments, investors can ensure their money outgrows inflation, making it possible for them to realize their retirement goals and live comfortably long after they have stopped working. Risk is a part of investing, and many veteran investors recognize that. However, the fear or losing their hard-earned money might compel would-be beginners to avoid the markets altogether. That can be a costly mistake, and it's one research suggests millennials are making, choosing to keep their money in savings accounts, which provide very little return in terms of interest, rather than invest in

The history of Presidents' Day
Celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, Presidents' Day honors all U.S. presidents. The origins of the holiday lie in the 1880s, when George Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, was celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved several federal holidays to Mondays in order to give workers a number of long weekends throughout the year. During the debate on the bill, it was proposed that Washington's Birthday be renamed President's Day to likewise honor Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday was Feb. 12. To test your knowledge of America's 45 presidents, check out the quiz below:
1. Who was the only U.S. president to be unanimously elected? ________________________________________________________________________ 2. Which two U.S. presidents signed the U.S. Constitution? ____________________________________________________________________________ 3.

Inspired by nature: Meandering Lambert Creek BY DAWN TANNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Natural streams are curvy. They wind through the landscape forming riffles and pools, and sometimes overflow into connected floodplains. There, spring snowmelt and rain are stored until water levels subside. Historically, people found that winding inconvenient. Natural meanders were often straightened, and ditches were built to keep water moving quickly off the landscape and into lakes and ponds. Floodplains became valuable waterfront property. As development increased, built areas took up more floodplain and wetland areas. During drier periods, this expansion may not have seemed to be a problem. However, increasing rainfall with intense storms and warmer winter temperatures are becoming the new normal for our area. Locally, we’ve seen record rainfall over the past couple of years. Water levels remain high, groundwater tables have risen, and soils are saturated. When remaining natural areas can’t hold the water anymore, it spills onto roadways and into yards and creeps toward homes. It becomes a nuisance to many people and a serious threat to some. Recent flooding has been highly visible. Less visible is E. coli bacteria in stormwater. E. coli is deposited by pets and wildlife (especially ducks and geese) in their waste. Bacteria are naturally occurring in streams, but high levels are a reason for concern because E. coli can make people sick. Bacteria accumulate in yards, curbs and gutters. During storm events, it quickly washes into rivers and creeks and impairs waterways. Lambert Creek is an example in our watershed of a slow and steady decline
in the quality and resilience of a natural system, a death by a thousand cuts, that started with ditch construction in 1916. More recently, in 2008 a bacterial impairment was designated for the creek by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Recognizing the problems, VLAWMO has been working with partners to improve conditions on Lambert Creek. Projects have included monitoring, streambank stabilization, invasive species removal, native planting, stormwater storage additions (weirs and retention ponds), brush and fallen tree clearing, a four-year bacteria study (completed in 2018) and Whitaker Treatment Wetlands—an experimental structure to filter stormwater. These efforts have helped, and now another boost is on the way. A portion of Lambert Creek in Vadnais Heights will be sporting new curves, and a more natural stream meander will carry flowing creek water with increased capacity. This project includes the combined efforts of VLAWMO, the City of Vadnais Heights, SEH engineering, the MPCA and the University of Minnesota. This effort also aims to remove bacteria, improve habitat, and increase water storage on a 40-acre parcel owned by Vadnais Heights, which includes Lambert Pond. The project is funded through a grant with MPCA/EPA with match funds from VLAWMO and a 0% interest loan from MPCA Clean Water Funds. The grant portion supports the meander and bacteria removal. The loan portion will pay for a needed steel replacement of an existing vinyl sheetpile weir. A weir holds back water and allows sediment to settle out, which improves the quality of the stream. Weirs provide managers an ability to balance the needs of upstream

and downstream communities. It’s not possible to simply send the additional water downstream when those areas also have high water and flooding issues. Construction is scheduled for winter 2020/2021. While construction plans are being developed, researchers are conducting lab tests to add an innovative element: biochar. Biochar is a charcoal product that removes bacteria and nutrients. Lab tests will determine the right type of biochar for Lambert Creek, and biochar treatment cells will be anchored in the channel. Spring native plant revegetation of the meander will follow winter construction. Native plants improve the quality of altered wetlands. Healthy wetlands filter pollutants; hold water during flooding events; and provide habitat for insects, frogs, fish, birds and other wildlife. Urban wetlands tend to have reduced plant diversity and higher amounts of sediment, and can no longer provide helpful tasks, or ecosystem services, that we value. The upcoming multifaceted project
on Lambert Creek won’t fix the complex issues of climate change, but it will help to improve the local situation. Watch for updates on the VLAWMO website, through the Vadnais Heights listserv, at open house community events coming up this spring/summer, and through direct mailings if you live close to Lambert Creek. Our special web hub for this project is regularly updated: vlawmo.org/lambertlakemeander VLAWMO will continue to share project details. We would like to hear your comments and questions, and welcome participation. We invite residents to become more involved in continuing to improve the quality of Lambert Creek in yards and nearby green spaces.

Expand living spaces with clever ideas Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable. A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining. While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much square-footage is present. Revamp a garage or shed Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter. Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space. Create a relaxing nook Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat. Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer. Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.

MAHTOMEDI— The Mahtomedi City Council heard from Nick Anhut, of Ehlers & Associates, regarding a five year street reconstruction and overlay project Tuesday, Feb. 4. The council's agenda included considering a resolution approving a street reconstruction plan and providing for the sale of $10 million in general obligation bonds. Anhut said Ehlers & Associates is proposing to include the street reconstruction project, estimated at $1.3 million, in this year’s bonding plan. Street reconstruction will take place next year and will be repaid through a dedicated tax levy. The revenues are expected to take effect at the end of next year. Anhut said part of the street reconstruction proceeding is to identify five years worth of other street improvement projects within the city and to identify their cost and propose financing. The council received a packet with projects in the city’s capital improvement plan, which includes road and storm sewer projects that have been laid out over the course of 2020-2024. “The entire $10 million will be allocated among different projects. About $6.5 million will go toward road and storm sewer projects during 2020 projects. $1.3 million is allocated toward next year's street

reconstruction project and the remaining $2.2 million are water and sewer utility supported bonds that will be relayed through those funds,” Anhut said. He said the bond issue will be structured for repayment over 15 years. The projects will be paid back through a variety of resources including debt levy, assessments and utility funds. The financing rate is below 2% for the whole $10 million. A public hearing portion was required for the $1.3 million street reconstruction project. There were no comments, which surprised some council members since the project is so expensive. “It is a lot of money but we need to do it. But there are a lot of other needs. We are facing a lot of issues related to sustainability and energy conservation and water conservation that affect our community,” said Council Member Jeff Ledermann.The council approved the resolution. The council will consider proposals for the project and authorize the final plans at its March 17 meeting. In other action, the council: • Heard from Jerry Hromatka, of Northeast Youth and Family Services, who presented a brief report. Hromatka also shared that he will be retiring this year after more than 40 years with the organization. • “We serve all ages and focus on youth ages 5-21. It comes out to
about 4,000 youth, adults and families a year,” Hromatka said. Northeast has three main programs: mental health, youth development and case management.S peaking of the budget, Hromatka said 75% of the budget is dedicated to mental health. • Council Member Dick Brainerd asked specifically about mental health for Mahtomedi. “We do not have a contract with Mahtomedi to do your school base. We inherited a relationship with Mahtomedi when White Bear Lake community counseling center merged with us. I think a piece we deal with is how do we continue to let the folks of Mahtomedi know we’re available and all the programs we have to offer,” Hromatka said. • Council members said they would like to bring up the topic with the school board to see what programs and support are available to students. • Recognized Public Works Maintenance Operator Kevin Bartholomew for five years of service to the city. The council also recognized Finance Director Scott Schaefer, who was given a government finance officers association award. • Swore in Conor Vaughn as a firefighter, after he successfully completed his probationary period. • Scheduled a meeting with the school board for Feb. 13 at Mahtomedi District Education Center.

A Sunday morning snowfall totaled anywhere from 4-5 inches here in the northern metro; our first snowfall of the month and first shovelable snowfall since a January 21-22 snowfall. It was a bit treacherous driving for a while Sunday but the snow was low in water content and easy to shovel. The sun managed to come out later in the afternoon and it turned out to be a pleasant day. Speaking of the sun it has been out in abundance this month as compared to January. We’re in store for a brief cold snap but temperatures are expected to rebound quickly for a mild weekend ahead.

First snows and bone chilling temperatures have already begun to set in, bringing with them the aches and pains many have come to know as the familiar symptoms of arthritis. Because CBD has been shown in some trials to be an anti-inflammatory, many have found it can also be useful in treating chronic pains, like joint pain from arthritis. Still, learning about how CBD affects the body and which products will work best for specific needs is the optimal method to take advantage of the new and exciting product. CBD is shorthand for cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive relative of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. CBD doesn’t get people high, and entirely new populations with no interest in weed have reported how much relaxation and relief they’ve received from trying it. Nevada Orthopedic advises taking simple remedial steps to fight off arthritis pains, like dressing for the weather in warm, dry layers, staying inside when possible and getting as much Vitamin D as possible. Hot Epsom Salt baths and continually drinking water throughout the day are other ways to ease symptoms of creaking and aching joints. For those with persistent symptoms, trying CBD may be a valid option as well. According to the Arthritis Foundation, CBD research is a new and uncertain science in many respects, but a new set of guidelines to CBD the group published might help those who suffer from the condition. Millions of Americans face some type of arthritis each year. “There are no established clinical guidelines to inform usage. Experts recommend starting with a low dose, and if relief is inadequate, increase in small increments weekly,” the Foundation said. “Buy from a reputable
