Daughter of Miracle coach on stage with Trump BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

The president of the United States called her Kel. Four times. Her unplanned appearance with President Donald Trump at his Las Vegas rally was described as “shocking” by Kelly (Brooks) Paradise. “I had no idea that was going to happen,” she said. There she was, a Birchwood mom and the daughter of legendary hockey coach Herb Brooks, on stage with members of the Miracle on Ice hockey team and the president. “I was teary, standing in the background, thinking how proud my father would have been of all these men on this stage,” Paradise recalled. “And then I heard my name called. I’m thinking, ‘Oh no.’” Paradise walked to the podium, visibly nervous in front of hundreds of Trump supporters. “Thank you,” she said. “I’m honored that his (Herb Brooks’) legacy is still alive today and he would be proud to be here with you all. And, my personal opinion, he would’ve been a Trump fan.”

School district prepares to prevent spread of coronavirus BY SARA MARIE MOORE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Wayne Kazmierczak Superintendent sota Department of Education regarding response to the worldwide spread of the virus that has sickened over 100,000 and caused the deaths of more than 3,000. The outbreak began in Wuhan, China, this winter and has been traced to a wild animal market.

No official cases of the virus had been reported in Minnesota as of the meeting; since then, there has been two confirmed cases in the state as of press time. More than 500 cases have been confirmed in the U.S. For White Bear Lake Area Schools,

prevention currently includes practices that prevent spread of other illnesses, such as the flu. “The emphasis right now is on routine illness prevention, frequent hand-washing, covering coughs and sneezes and staying home when ill,” Kazmierczak said. According to the district, administration will meet weekly with state agencies until the virus is no longer a threat. The district is working on plans regarding absences and attendance policies, flexible learning, co-curricular activities, school cleaning protocols and prevention strategies should the virus spread within Minnesota.

Senate bill to prohibit most TCE use clears 1st committee

SUBMITTEDX

Bi-partisan support for TCE bill Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood) testified in support of a ban on trichloroethylene (TCE) at a committee hearing in the Senate on March 2. He has authored a bill, SF3387, supported by Gov. Tim Walz and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Wiger is pictured with Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) and Craig McDonnell, MPCA assistant commissioner. Chamberlain also has a bill calling for a phase-out, which Wiger said is “headed in the right direction” (see separate story). Wiger feels there has been a “cloud of fear” since it was discovered that the Water Gremlin plant emitted 850 tons of TCE in a 1.5-mile area. Wiger said members will continue to work toward a ban of the chemical.

ST. PAUL — Sen. Roger Chamberlain (R-Lino Lakes) last week continued his effort to bar companies from using the toxic and dangerous chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) during manufacturing processes. The Minnesota Senate Environment and Natural Resources Policy Committee approved Chamberlain’s bill, Senate File 2997, which compels companies to stop using TCE and switch to safer alternatives. The bill will be heard next in the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Finance Committee. The legislation is part of Chamberlain’s ongoing response to an investigation that found Water Gremlin, a manufacturer of fishing sinkers and battery terminals in White Bear Township, failed to report accurate TCE emissions data for more than 15 years and exposed surrounding neighborhoods to dangerous levels of the chemical. The bill is co-authored by Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood). “We understand that chemicals are an important part of the manufacturing process for many companies, but if there are less toxic alternatives that will do the job, then we have a responsibility to the public to switch to those safer options,” said Chamberlain. “In the case of TCE, we know there are safer alternatives. Let’s use them.”

The bipartisan bill was negotiated in good faith by all stakeholders, including the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, White Bear Area Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group, Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate, as well as the local chamber of commerce. Under Chamberlain’s bill, the MPCA would send a notice to all permitted TCE users explaining the new restrictions. Those permit holders would have 90 days upon receipt of that notice to inform the agency whether it still uses TCE. If so, the permit holder would then be required to perform a feasibility study about switching to an alternative chemical. Finally, those facilities would have until June 1, 2022, to switch to an alternative or apply for an exemption to continue using TCE, if applicable. The MPCA is empowered to grant exemptions in limited circumstances, including: • For facilities that use TCE in a closed system and thus there are no emissions • For facilities that are holding products containing TCE for distribution to a third party • For hospitals or academic facilities

• For research and development or other laboratory or experimental purposes • For facilities that use TCE in waste disposal Companies that do not submit a feasibility study could be shut down by the MPCA. According to the MPCA, there are 86 facilities in Minnesota that have been found to use or generate TCE. Of those, 26 use TCE in their industrial processes. The remaining 60 generate TCE emissions as a byproduct of a manufacturing process or from a landfill. In addition to the 86 existing TCE users, the MPCA is also in the process of testing another 24 other facilities for TCE emissions. Since last May, facilities have removed more than 174,000 pounds of TCE emissions from their processes, more than 80% of that amount was a result of compliance actions taken against Water Gremlin. Last session, the Senate voted unanimously to address the Water Gremlin situation by creating a TCE Emission Response Account that would manage the proceeds of the settlement and provide public protections, transparency and accountability. The House has not acted on that bill. Press release

Preventing the use of lead in fish tackle SAINT PAUL — A group of Girl Scouts who attend Sunrise Middle School in White Bear Lake would like to see Minnesota join a growing list of states and regions that have taken action to protect wildlife health by banning the use of lead in fi shing tackle. The girls’ idea is now encapsulated in legislation being carried by Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL-Maplewood) and Rep. Peter Fischer (DFL-Maplewood). “We are proud of the abundant natural resources and long tradition of outdoor recreation in Minnesota, but we have to take steps to protect it, and preventing the use of lead in fishing would be a great step,” said Wiger. “I want to thank these student leaders for their passion and commitment to putting their ideas in action and advocating for this important bill at the Legislature.” Lead is a toxic metal that in sufficient quantities has adverse effects on the nervous and reproductive systems of mammals and birds. Found in most fi shing jigs and sinkers, this

metal is poisoning wildlife such as loons and eagles. There are alternatives to traditional lead tackle. Anglers can now use sinkers and jigs made from materials such as tin, bismuth, steel and tungsten-nickel alloy. These substitutes are available at established sporting goods retailers and on the internet. “I’m proud of the work that these students are doing to take the lead on protecting our state’s fi sh and our state’s water, and it’s on us to follow their lead,” said Fischer. “Let’s get to work and move this legislation forward this year.” The legislation (HF3825/SF3892) is currently awaiting action.

Scientific method

A

ny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” is an adage attributed to science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke. It is the third, and probably the most widely recognized, of what are known as Clarke’s three laws. According to Wikipedia, the other two are, “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong,” and “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” As we engage in the everyday routines and activities of our lives, we often take for granted the “seemingly magical” multitude of inventions and complex infrastructure that we depend upon are based on a foundation of scientific discovery. With this in mind, I personally find it perplexing when I hear that certain individuals — who more than likely flick a switch to turn on a light, drive or ride in a vehicle with an internal Angle of combustion engine, listen to a radio broadcast, watch television, browse View the internet or use a cell phone — Paul Dols have decided that specific findings recognized by the overwhelming majority of the world’s scientific community happen to be hoaxes. I found one of the most understandable, for me, explanations of the difference between a scientific law and a scientific theory on the TED-Ed website stating that “a law predicts what happens while a theory proposes why.” and additionally, “vulnerability to some potentially better explanation doesn’t weaken a current scientific theory. Instead, it shields science from becoming unchallenged dogma.” I recently came across an article on the Guardian website, an international news organization based in the U.K., titled “100 years on: the pictures that changed our view of the universe” about a 1919 scientific expedition, led by astronomer Arthur Eddington, to photograph a total solar eclipse with the purpose of “using the fi ndings to prove, or disprove Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity.” (I had the opportunity to view and photograph a total solar eclipse and found the experience to be profoundly awe inspiring and surprisingly emotional.) Despite grim conditions on the remote west African island of Príncipe, the eclipse was successfully photographed and the findings, which measured the positions of stars in order to detect the warping effects of gravity on space, were found to be completely in line with Einstein’s theory. The findings overturned “200 years of Newtonian physics,” were front page news around the world and made Einstein into a global celebrity. Putting this timeline into perspective, last month I attended a Girl Scout gathering honoring 102-year-old Marian Seabold — who was a toddler at the time this event attracted worldwide attention. So why at a time when we are more dependent than ever on technology does science seem to be under attack? In a 2016 article published in Scientific American, locally based author Shawn Otto warned of “the emergence of a ‘post-fact’ politics, which has normalized the denial of scientific evidence that conflicts with the political, religious or economic agendas of authority,” that has only gotten more extreme in the intervening years. The article includes examples of the political, industrial and societal forces undermining fact based science, and surmises that thought leaders, educators and also journalists need to rise to the challenge of clarifying for the public the dramatic difference separating fact based scientific research from opinions and “hunches.” Amidst a sometimes confusing barrage of information (and disinformation) we need to continue searching for the truth, our freedom and future well being could be at stake.

Mahtomedi Zephyrs engaging in bold, impactful learning

T

eams of staff, parents, and students from each of our school buildings met recently to develop their school’s building-level strategic plan. These building-level plans establish a relationship between our district’s strategic plan (mahtomedi. k12.mn.us/ Strategic_ Planning) and Movers & school plans, facilitates process and Shakers discipline in Barb Duffrin each school, and identifies h hb ild how each building will uniquely support the work of the district. The teams developed new missions, objectives, and tactics for their school buildings. Our strategic plan and building plans allow us to build on our tradition of academic excellence and create new measures of success for our students at Mahtomedi Public Schools. One of those new measures we are exploring is student agency. In our mission, we identify our purpose at Mahtomedi Public

Schools to “ensure that each student is a bold agent of learning who successfully pursues their passions while advancing the greater good.” So, what is agency and why is it important? The definition of agency that resonates with me is from a 2015 Harvard University Achievement Gap Initiative report commissioned by the Raikes Foundation. It defines student agency as “the capacity and propensity to take purposeful initiative—the opposite of helplessness.” When students are agents of their learning, they become more curious and interested in their schoolwork. They learn more deeply, value their education more highly, and feel a sense of purpose. We are committed to building student agency by equipping young people at Mahtomedi Public Schools not only with outstanding academic excellence, but by providing them with opportunities for exploration and support to persevere through challenges, and by communicating our belief that each person has the desire and capacity to learn and grow. We want our students to have opportunities to discover, design, play and imagine as they learn challenging content. We know

they’ll grow their competence and confidence through meaningful practice, reflection, and feedback. And with multiple experiences and guidance, they will build the propensity to contribute to the world in ways that they find meaningful and others value. From preschool to our Passages Transition Program, our focus is on bold student agency so we can prepare our students to create their own future. Are you curious to see what this looks like in action? If so, we hope you’ll join us for our upcoming Zephyr Learning Showcases where you’ll have an opportunity to connect with our students and staff and see student agency and components of our strategic plan in action. The Zephyr Learning Showcases will take place on March 26, April 23, and May 28 from 6:30-7 pm at the Mahtomedi District Education Center. We are incredibly proud of the incredible work our Zephyrs are doing and the connection they are making in our community. We hope you’ll join us and see the bold, impactful learning that is taking place at Mahtomedi Public Schools. Barb Duffrin is the Superintendent of Mahtomedi Public Schools.

East metro leaders take on youth vaping The East Metro Crime Prevention Coalition (EMCPC) hosted a forum March 2 to address the youth vaping epidemic. The forum was designed to help separate fact from fiction regarding the harmful impact of vaping on youth as well as to raise awareness of this growing problem. Data from the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey (pdf) showed a steep increase in vaping among youth: vaping has increased by 95% for eight graders, 75% for ninth graders, and 54% for eleventh graders. “Protecting our children from the dangers of vaping has to be a top priority of our community,” said Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher. “Community education on the dangers of nicotine addiction, lung disease, and THC use is the first step in addressing this growing epidemic.” Presenters addressed trends in products and use, crafting an effective model policy, the importance of prevention education, alternatives to suspension, working with youth and educating the broader community. The seminar was tailored to law enforcement, prosecutors, school counselors, faith leaders and juvenile justice system professionals. “The focus of today’s event was to raise community awareness of rapid growth and dangers of youth vaping,” said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. “It’s clear we can’t arrest our way out of this and must respond as a community. Vaping must be treated as a public health concern instead of a traditionally criminal justice matter so that we can provide options for referrals and resources for prevention and treatment.” Choi also moderated a panel of speakers, which included a juvenile drug court judge and law enforcement officers from Ramsey and Washington counties. Panelists shared their handson experience with youth vaping. A common theme among all counties was that youth often obtain vaping products from their friends at school, older siblings and even at home. Both panelists and speakers stressed the importance of how easy it is to obtain a wide variety of vaping products, including some that contain THC content up to 98%. The Tobacco-Free Alliance conducted

Students ‘learn’ the truth about substance use

SUBMITTED

Know the TruthTM Prevention Program presenter Micah Meline speaks to the students at Mahtomedi High School on the issues of substance use and the vaping epidemic.

a study under a Tobacco Free Communities grant from the Minnesota Department of Health to assess youth perception of vaping. Their research found an alarming disconnect with teen understanding of the dangers posed by tobacco versus vaping. Unlike the clear knowledge that cigarettes are harmful, teens tended to perceive vaping as positive or at least not as dangerous. “It is important to remember we face the same dangers with vaping and e-cigarettes as we do with traditional cigarettes,” said Elyse Levine Less, executive director of the Tobacco-Free Alliance. “As a community, and especially as parents, we must engage our kids in meaningful conversations about vaping and its related health effects.” The Alliance stressed a need to reach teens in a more approachable fashion

when discussing vaping. Speakers highlighted the following suggestions: • Talk with teens and not at teens. • Remember, teens want adults as allies, not a lecture. • Start small group discussions to share the facts about vaping. • Ask teens for their ideas and engage them as part of the solution. The Minnesota Legislature is currently considering legislation to raise the minimum age to 21 to purchase tobacco as well as place restrictions on vaping products, similar to those of cigarettes. “This is an epidemic of increasing proportion which we cannot ignore,” Dakota County Attorney James C. Backstrom. “Our kids’ future depends on us taking action on prevention, early intervention and providing resources before coming into contact with the justice system.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Get the Lead Out’ Many thanks for Jackie Bussjaeger’s Feb. 26 article, “Swans and loons will benefit from Get the Lead Out program.” The work of photographer Debbie Hartmann and the Girl Scouts of Troop 56087, in partnership with VLAWMO, is a prime example of conservation-minded ideals being carried out by community residents who creatively partner to protect water birds, like our beloved swans and loons, from further lead ingestion and death. I hope the Press will continue to offer future updates on the progress of “Get the Lead Out.” To publish this article, with an accompanying picture, is truly a community service. Sandy Waterman Vadnais Heights

Need answers As you may or may not be aware, White Bear Township is in the process of a street improvement project in a small area of the township (nine streets). This multimillion-dollar project is conjectured to start in May. Each property will be assessed $8,000 - $12,000. I agree it needs to be done, but there has been difficulty getting answers as to specific costs. As the town engineer works for the private firm that is the engineer for the project, do we have a conflict of interest? Why can’t we get a more specific cost breakdown? Do these costs compare with similar projects in other towns? Not unreasonable requests. Wayne Taylor White Bear Lake

Citizens, taxpayers deserve better Dr. Wayne Kazmierczak’s opinion piece (“Listening to and learning from student voices- Feb.25, 2020) was stunning, and disturbing, in its revelations about planning and decision-making at the ISD 624 Board

On Feb. 28, Know the Truth prevention program, the substance-use prevention program of Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, spoke to Mahtomedi High School students about the vaping epidemic and other substance use issues. Presenters Micah Meline and Izzy Vogel discussed their experiences relating to substance use and addiction and shared evidence-based information on current youth drug trends. “We don’t come here to tell you that if you decide to smoke weed or drink alcohol that eventually you’ll become addicted to heroin or meth or that any of the things that happened to us will happen to you,” Micah says. “We come here to share our stories, because we never imagined that these consequences would happen to us.” Know the Truth prevention program makes evidence based-presentations to both middle and high schoolers across the state of Minnesota to educate them on the dangers of substance use. The presentation curriculum addresses the main misconceptions that students have about substances, and they work to fill the education gaps. Students are told about what substances can truly do, even if they don’t seem like “that big of a deal” to the students. “What makes us unique is that our team is made up of a group of young individuals who have struggled with substance use, and are now in recovery,” Prevention Education Manager Sadie Holland said. “By sharing their personal experiences, we hope that their vulnerability will give the students permission to share their own struggles and relate on a deeper level.” After a presentation, Know the Truth surveys students to gather information on the current drug trends among youth in Minnesota. The students receive a resource guide and the phone number to the Know the Truth anonymous text-hotline to encourage them to reach out with additional questions or support. Students can text the number, 612-440-3967, 24/7 to speak to a Know the Truth team member. From press release

DEATH NOTICE level, and states that a major pillar of its mission statement is “Students who design and create their own future”. The opinion piece also states “The insights provided by the students, representing ages from elementary through high school, helped the committee define parameters around programming and design elements moving forward through district-wide facilities projects that will be happening in the coming years. I’m sorry – this is preposterous. No matter how hard current society, and this school district, push to give young people serious responsibility, no matter how enthusiastic the students are, at this stage of life, they are children, most of whom aren’t yet permitted to drive, who haven’t had work, or life, experiences, and most of whom will leave the system and move on, on graduation, within a few years. They are not entitled to impact these processes and decisions. This current stated pattern of decision-making behavior is an affront to the community. School board members are adults elected by the citizenry, presumably because of personal experience with, or a commitment to, childhood education, to make these decisions. District funding, and levies, are voted on by adults, and paid for with our taxes. We do not want crucial, and expensive, policies impacted by inexperienced children. The currently stated points on the Mission Statement represent a significant change in emphasis from the previous Mission Statement, and is more of a social contract than a commitment to excellence in educational outcomes. While the points may have some relevance, they should not be the driving force behind the ISD 624 educational effort. I feel leadership in this district is misguided. Citizens and taxpayers deserve better. Randall K. Johnson M.D. White Bear Lake

MAHTOMEDI SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Mahtomedi School Board took the following actions at its Feb. 27 meeting: • After a presentation from Director of Finance and Operations Jeff Priess, approved the 2019-2020 revised budget. A revised budget is necessary because current law requires board approval of the fiscal year budget before July 1 of each year. By the time the middle of the school year rolls around, significant financial changes have occurred. Enrollment adjustments, contract settlements, staff changes, legislative changes and additional information not known when the preliminary budget was put together can affect the budget. For District 832, significant changes occurred on the revenue side with an increase in special education funding of 20.1% from the previous year due to legislative changes. Because of this adjustment, a new surplus of $437,816 is expected in the revised budget compared with a surplus of $96,000 in the preliminary budget, Priess said. Revenues for the revised budget are set at $41.9 million. • Unanimously accepted $9,930 in donations during the past month. Highlights include $2,340 from the Mahtomedi Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) to O. H. Anderson Elementary guided reading; $3,984 from the PTO to O. H. Anderson Elementary for Chromebooks; and $1,000 from Brian and Jamie Dillig to Early Childhood student needs. Board member Judy Schwartz thanked the community for contributions given to the district. “We certainly use funds according to the wishes of the donor, but also to promote the mission of the school district. And we’re very grateful for

every dollar,” she said. • After a brief presentation from Superintendent Barb Duffrin, formally approved changes and annual reviews to 26 policies. The administration and Policy Committee conducted their annual review of these policies and made minor changes to some. The Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA) generated changes to the other policies • Unanimously approved Policy 902 regarding the use of school facilities, including Appendix B rules and regulations regarding indoor and outdoor athletic facility use. The board relaxed its policy on policies to move this item forward without waiting for the usual three full meetings due to the urgency of having the changes in place in time for snowmelt. The revised policy clarifies for the community the ways to properly use facilities — in particular, outdoor athletic fields — to avoid damage from people removing snow too early. “The timing of this is really important to protect the integrity of the fields,” Vice Chair Julie McGraw said. • Conducted the first reading of six new policies: 419, on maintaining a tobacco-free environment (with emphasis on vaping); 504, on student dress and appearance; 532, related to use of peace officers and crisis teams to remove students with IEP’s from school grounds; 601, dealing with curriculum and instruction goals (with emphasis on dyslexia); 603, related to curriculum development; and 616, on district system accountability. All policies were reviewed by the administration and by the Policy Committee. Some of the changes

were suggested by the MSBA and some by the administration. • After hearing a presentation of the Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) Achievement and Integration Three-Year Plan from Teaching and Learning Coordinator Courtney McCormick, approved the plan for 2020-2023. The purpose of the plan is to pursue racial and economic integration, increase student achievement, create equitable education opportunities and reduce academic disparities based on students’ diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds in participating schools and districts. McCormick gives the board a report at the end of every year. The district is currently at the end of a three-cycle and must now submit a new plan. As the district develops its own goals to coincide with MDE goals, it would be eligible to access funding to this end, McCormick said. • Heard a presentation from board Chair Lucy Payne on the superintendent’s mid-year review, conducted during the Jan. 23 closed meeting. The evaluation process includes a board survey, and superintendent’s self-evaluation on goals. Payne called the evaluation “the most unanimous agreement we’ve ever seen as far as satisfaction with what Barb is doing. It’s going really well.” Duffrin officially began her duties as superintendent on July 1, 2018. • Presented Community Education Director Dr. Cathy Wyland with a token of appreciation upon her retirement after 31 years in public education. Duffrin noted that Wyland had significantly raised the quality and participation in the

Community Education programming at Mahtomedi Public Schools. “Dr. Wyland is responsible for many of our positive community partnerships and builds relationships behind the scenes with her commitment, integrity and humor,” Duffrin said. Later in the meeting it was revealed that Wyland did indeed partner with Ashland Productions to produce the upcoming O. H. Anderson play, “The Grunch,” which will take place at Maplewood Community Center on March 7-8. Duffrin quipped that Wyland intended to retire the first week of March “if we allow it.” After Duffrin presented Wyland with a school bell, she said that “Dr. Cathy” could walk out ringing her bell. “It’s been an honor to be here,” Wyland said before doing just that. • After a presentation from McGraw, approved a resolution requested by the MSBA supporting local decision-making authority for school boards. The MSBA asked for the district’s support to help with their lobbying on its behalf. “We’ve done this before — we’d like no unfunded mandates and would like decisions to happen at the local level so that districts can respond better to the needs of their communities,” McGraw said. • Heard a report from Student Representative Clare Fritsch, who detailed student highlights during the month of February and gave a preview of student events coming up during the month of March. • Discussed the board member calendar for March and April. The board next meets at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26, in the District Center Community Room, 1520 Mahtomedi Ave. Loretta Harding

Popular fitness director says ‘Y’ in her blood BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

For 33 years, Kim Ustruck cycled, stepped, pumped iron and danced at the head of her class. And Y members loved her for it. Those fans are bemoaning the fact the longtime fitness director officially retired from the White Bear Lake YMCA last month. It wasn’t easy for her, either. “I cried for two days,” said Ustruck, anticipating the end of a satisfying career. She wasn’t asked to quit or encouraged to take an early retirement. At 63, Ustruck decided it was time to give her body a break. She still has neck issues from a repaired ruptured disc and a bum knee. She also medicates for a syndrome called restless leg that keeps her awake some nights, so the luxury of sleeping in has its appeal. Still, she will miss the daily grind and the many loyal members who attended her classes, rain or shine. “I dreaded the day she would retire,” said Karen Brooks, a White Bear resident. “I’m trying to learn to teach some classes myself, so I have a deep appreciation for her mind. She has a memory that won’t quit, and she can explain things to people in a way they can understand.” Classes Ustruck started at the Y are what attracted Brooks to the facility in the fi rst place. “The Y fi gures into my daily life,” she said. “A big part of that has been Kim and her instruction.” Brooks added the Y is “a big part of my social life.” Friends Ustruck has made over the years have made the Y a home away from home for her, as well. “My car knows its way here,” quipped the retiree, a Vadnais Heights resident. When she lost her husband Greg in 2016, Ustruck found solace in the Y community. “As much as people say I helped them, the Y helped me,” she said. “When I come in (a class) and turn the music on, it’s a different world and my focus changes. It turns me into a different personality because I enjoy it so much.” A shy type, Ustruck described herself as a wallflower when she joined the Y in the mid ’80s. She stood in the back of the room for dance aerobics to avoid attention. But the instructor did notice her because Ustruck knew the moves. If the teacher forgot a step, she glanced at the woman in the back. Eventually, the instructor asked Ustruck to teach. Reluctant at fi rst, she taught a small class and loved it. “I never looked back,” Ustruck recalled. That was in 1987. As the Y evolved, so did Ustruck. The number and type of group fitness classes grew from about 30 per week to about 140 today. She recalled when water aerobics was added in ’94 and when step classes became popular. The nonprofit didn’t have the funds, so Ustruck and her husband built 30 steps out of plywood for the class. When money for hand weights wasn’t available, the couple made them out of PVC pipe and metal pellets. “Unfortunately for Greg, I was

Longtime fitness guru Kim Ustruck said it was her choice to retire. She can still be found at her home away from home, weight training and cycling in the fitness center.

“Kim’s relationships with Y members, and her team, fueled the transformational legacy she left us with here at the Y. We are incredibly grateful for Kim’s service, and for her contributions spanning the four decades since she started in 1987. Kim did much to strengthen this community and to create a healthier White Bear where all can thrive in each stage of life.” Shane Hoefer Vice President of Operations YMCA always coming home with ideas that involved him. He eventually joined the board of directors.” Co-worker Sue Georgacas, senior program coordinator, described Ustruck as a “driving force” and “innovator” at the Y. “The great fitness programs that exist today are her enduring legacy,” she said. “I worked with Kim for 19 years and can say that she touched countless members of the community through her work and personality.” Ustruck holds myriad certifications in fitness, including CPR instructor through the American Red Cross. She became certified as a professional rescue instructor to ensure staff was CPR-certified. Only once has Ustruck used her emergency training to save someone’s life. A man went down in the

fitness center a few months after an AED was installed. It was 2004. She was talking to staff when a call came over the intercom: All management to the fitness center. Ustruck was handed the AED. “He was blue,” she recalled. “They were already doing CPR on him. I used the paddles two times to shock his heart. It worked. There was a mix-up with the ambulance and it took 11 minutes for them to get there. If we didn’t have that AED, he probably wouldn’t have made it. Saving that guy was the best feeling in the world.” Her whole family has been part of the YMCA. In addition to Greg’s service on the board, their two daughters, Jackie and Danielle, worked as lifeguards and swim instructors. Both girls, White Bear grads, were on the swim team. Each is married with two children, making Ustruck a proud grandmother of four. Greg survived a massive heart attack in 2003 and eventually succumbed to diabetes-related renal failure at age 64. It was a tough time, but Ustruck had the Y family to fall back on. Shane Hoefer, vice president of op-

erations, said Ustruck has been the face of the Y in many ways. “Kim personified all the things a Y leader should be: innovative in program, dedicated to mission and steeped in community. “Kim’s relationships with Y members, and her team, fueled the transformational legacy she left us with here at the Y. We are incredibly grateful for Kim’s service, and for her contributions spanning the four decades since she started in 1987. Kim did much to strengthen this community and to create a healthier White Bear where all can thrive in each stage of life.” Her fans should know that Ustruck hasn’t disappeared. She is taking a few classes as a member, including line dancing that she initiated, and she is considering yoga and meditation. Her dream is still to teach and be the consummate motivator. So stay tuned, the popular instructor may return to the head of a class or two yet, just one that’s low-impact and per her schedule. “The YMCA is in my blood,” Ustruck said. “It’s a great place to be.”

RALLY: Miracle players meet Trump FROM PAGE 1A

Her comments earned Paradise a kiss on the cheek from the president, who pronounced that her tears showed she missed and loved her father. The invitation to the Feb. 21 political rally came the night before via email when Paradise, the Minnesota players and their wives were at the Minneapolis airport. They were waiting to board a flight to Las Vegas for a special appearance at the Golden Knights hockey game on Saturday. That day, Feb. 22, was the 40-year anniversary of the Miracle on Ice game against the Soviets at Lake Placid and the players were invited to drop the ceremonial puck. Paradise was there to represent her late father, the Minnesota coach who orchestrated one of the greatest moments in sports history. “I thought, ‘OK, I’ve never met a president. I didn’t care who it was. It’s pretty cool to meet a president face to face,’” Paradise said. “So, we accepted the invitation.” The group met both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence prior to the rally at the convention center. Secret Service personnel were everywhere. Everyone had to provide Social Security numbers and walk through a metal detector. “We thought we were going to sit and listen. We didn’t know we were going to be invited on stage,” Paradise said. “I said to my friend, ‘Who in their right mind packs for Las Vegas thinking they will be meeting the president on stage?’ I was wearing my daughter’s black T-shirt from Target.” The backstage chitchat is when Trump called Paradise Kel. He also whispered to her that he thought he was as tough as her father. “That was cute.” And the peck on the cheek? “Who knew he was going to do that? I was trying to back away, thinking this isn’t my time; this is for you guys. I’m a nobody, I’m just a mom from Birchwood.’” Paradise said Trump is not unlike her father. “My dad made a lot of people upset. He never followed the rules. He was his own person and had a similar personality as Trump in the sense of doing things ‘my way.’”

Township board approves upgrade for wells BY CYNTHIA SOWDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The White Bear Township board approved a $439,500 contract with Municipal Builders at its March 2 meeting to improve the township’s water management system. Manganese is a naturally occurring element in White Bear Township’s water. At low levels, it can stain laundry. Deposits of precipitated manganese can collect in pipelines and tap water may subsequently contain black sediment and turbidity. High exposure to manganese has been associated with a nervous disorder similar to Parkinson’s disease. Drinking water with high manganese levels is not recommended for pregnant women or children. The project involves well nos. 1, 4 and 5. Board members stressed that the work has nothing to do with Water Gremlin but will be undertaken to maintain water quality. Well No. 1 will be modified for increased safety, Well No. 4 will see an increase in capacity and Well No. 5 will receive new controls and other improvements. The also includes some routine maintenance. Noting that the Minnesota Department of Health will be issuing new manganese guidelines soon, the board said the project couldn’t be “put on the back burner.” Work is expected to be completed by the end of May in time for peak summer demand.

Vice President Mike Pence posed with Miracle on Ice players at a “meet-and-greet” in Las Vegas prior to a Trump rally. The players happened to be in Vegas at the same time for a special appearance at the Golden Knights hockey game. They were there to commemorate the 40-year anniversary of the Olympic game against the Soviets that took place Feb. 22, 1980, in Lake Placid, New York. Captain Mike “Rizzo” Eruzione is to Pence’s right and Mark Wells is to his left. Kelly (Brooks) Paradise is behind them.

She also found Trump “sincere and gracious,” and taller than she expected. “We were all wondering if he would look orange; not at all,” Paradise added. Her 19-year-old daughter Olivia accompanied Paradise to Las Vegas, but Paradise’s mother didn’t join them. She had both knees replaced and the trip would have meant a lot of walking,

Paradise said. “If it was anywhere else, she would have gone.” Attending the rally the Friday before the hockey game did change their plans, but Paradise said meeting a president was much more exciting. “We had no idea we were going to meet Trump,” she exclaimed. “We thought it was going to be our pool day.”

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Chalk up another great weather weekend. Sunshine was plentiful and the temperature might have reached 60º on some over optimistic thermometers. The airport did reach 60º on Sunday but I fell a couple degrees short at my station. Nevertheles, people were out and enjoying the fine weather despite some gusty winds both Saturday and Sunday. I did record some meaningless snow and rain the last past of last week. We could use a nice rain to wash away some grime. Another snow is still not out of the question but not on the horizon right now. One person that took advantage of the weather on Sunday was friends wife, Sandy Lahren, who ran her first 10 mile run as she trains for her first half marathon.

“THE BANKER” (PG-13) [SOME STRONG LANGUAGE, INCLUDING A SEXUAL REFERENCE AND RACIAL EPITHETS, AND SMOKING THROUGHOUT.] — A captivating, factually based, entertaining, inspirational, well-acted, star-dotted (Colm Meaney, Jessie T. Usher, Gregory Alan, Travis West, Michael Harney, and Jaylon Gordon), 2-hour film in which brilliant, ambitious, savvy, African-American real estate investor Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) moves to Los Angeles from Texas with his devoted wife (Nia Long) in 1954. __________________________________________________ WENDY SCHADEWALD The preceding films were reviewed by Wendy Schadewald, who has been a Twin Cities film critic since 1986.

Lakeshore Players Theatre hosts special premiere Scottish Director Steven Lewis Simpson's adaptation of Minnesota Book Award-winning novel “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” by Minneapolis-born author Kent Nerburn will premiere in White Bear Lake at Lakeshore Players Hanifl Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. March 19. “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” takes audiences on a road trip through contemporary and historical Lakota life and culture. Its humor is wry and pulls no punches, while it introduces deep characters and poignant vignettes that challenge the viewer to see the world a bit differently. The fi lm's star, Dave Bald Eagle, was left for dead during D-Day in World War II. Co-star Christopher Sweeney was awarded the Silver Star from the Gulf War. Yet it was co-star Richard Ray Whitman, who was never in the service, who spent the most days under fire. Whitman endured the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973, where the government fi red hundreds of thousands of bullets at American Indian Movement activists. Dave Bald Eagle had relatives at the infamous Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. The fi lm's climax was fi lmed at Wounded Knee — sacred ground for its stars. Dave Bald Eagle died at the age of 97 before the fi lm was released. For a time his obituary was the most-read feature in the world on the BBC. NPR’s All Things Considered team debated whether Bald Eagle was “the world’s most interesting man.” The fi lm defies Hollywood logic. It was audiencefinanced with 18 shoot days, a tiny crew, a 95-yearold star and a self-distributed release that started in small towns. It has a higher audience score on Rotten Tomatoes than any big Hollywood movie out at the moment: 4.7/5 — 95%. The fi lm has had a longer theatrical run than any other U.S. fi lm

released in the past decade. It has become the most popular non-Hollywood Native American fi lm in years. In addition to its Minnesota Book Award, NWND was also awarded the 2019 One Book South Dakota and will be studied statewide.

LOOKING BACK Week of March 8-14, 2020 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1920 A new fi rm has recently been organized in White Bear, the fi rm of Gerken & Parcells, dealers in farm implements, barn equipment, lighting plants and accessories. Their place of business will be on the corner of Fourth Street and Division Ave. F. L. Gerken was formerly county agent in Ramsey county and has a wide acquaintance throughout the farming territory in vicinity of White Bear and will tend to increase the business of the farmers here.

1945 The shocking news of the death in action February 21, 1945 of William Reed, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Reed, was received Tuesday. William would have been 21 next month. He enlisted two years ago next May. He went overseas last August and was in the harbor craft until recently when he volunteered for the infantry. He was under General Patton’s Third Army in Germany.

1970 Dean Fenner was elected mayor of White Bear Lake by a margin of 384 votes in the city elections held Tuesday. Total votes cast were 3362. Fenner carried all but one ward, with ward 2 going to Olson with 501 votes to Fenner’s 358…Fenner has been

er’s plans to build shopping centers west of the intersection of Highway 61 and 4th Street. Both plans were the fi rst nibble from developers in response to the city’s redevelopment plan to extend downtown White Bear Lake across to the west side of Highway 61.

Mahtomedi to build Aaron’s Playground in Southwest Park For a little more than a year, Craig and Rebecca Markovitz have been working on building a playground in Southwest Park to honor their infant son, Aaron, who died shortly after birth. A large part of that effort has been raising funds through the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation via private contributions and fundraisers. To date, a little more than $110,000 has been collected through the foundation, with more on the way. On Dec. 17, the city approved a proposal from WSB & Associates for the design development of the Southwest Park Playground (Aaron’s Playground). WSB, the city’s engineering fi rm since 2001, has also donated the $10,000 in design work to the cause. As the city of Mahtomedi has been a loyal client of WSB, the engineering fi rm elected to donate any work on the playground related to design services to honor that working relationship. The city will also contribute significant staff time and funds to construct the proper infrastructure to support the new playground. The Mahtomedi City Council at its March 2 meeting passed a resolution formally accepting $110,178 from the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation and $10,000 from WSB to build Aaron’s Playground in Southwest Park. “Thank you so much for the park that you’re expanding for us,” Mayor Judson Marshall told the Markovitz family. “The Markovitzes have been phenomenal in their endeavor to raise money for the playground,” Public Works Director Bob Goebel said. Because of the Markovitzes and WSB, the city will have a great addition that has been needed since day one and will have a great location for the kids, he said. Councilman Steve Wolgamot said he was very proud of the Markovitz family as members of the community and very proud of the community for rallying around Aaron’s Playground. Craig Markovitz thanked several parties instrumental in moving the project forward, such as Goebel and his staff, the City Council, the mayor, city staff and local businesses. “We’re new to the community, and everyone has been very supportive to us,” he said. Aaron’s little sister, who is just three months

old, attended the meeting with her parents. “We will be very excited to take her to the playground and let her get to know her big brother a little,” Craig Markovitz said. In other action, the council: • Heard a presentation from Eagle Scout candidate Sarah Reisdorf of Troop 434, whose project “Path of Heroes,” is intended to build a memorial at Veterans Park in the form of a 400-squarefoot path of engraved pavers bearing the names of Mahtomedi citizens who served in the Armed Forces and died for our country. Reisdorf will organize the design, approvals, fundraising, surface preparation and construction of the project. For the entire project, Reisdorf expects materials, supplies and tools to cost $6,000, or $14.20 per square foot. Upon completion of her project, Reisdorf will become one of the fi rst girls in the country to earn an Eagle Award since the Boy Scouts included girls. The Boy Scouts opened its organization to girls in 2019, and the Cub Scouts started to include girls in 2018. • Approved the city’s permanent public drainage and utility easement agreement for real property at 1446 Harmony Drive. The city will install a storm sewer to relieve ongoing flooding issues in the back yard of the property. • Considered three bids received on Feb. 25 and awarded the contract for the Dahlia Street improvement project to lowest bidder, T. A. Schifsky and Sons. Inc. of North St. Paul in the amount of $523,550.48. • Approved a request from St. Jude of the Lake Church, 700 Mahtomedi Ave., to hold a gambling event and to sell wine and beer at the annual dinner, set for Saturday, April 18. • Approved budget transfers for 2019. Transfers to the 2018 Street Improvements Projects Fund (518) include $469,596.28 from the water fund (601); $228,593.44 from the sewer fund (602) and $34,104.32 from the turnback fund (404). • Approved construction pay voucher No. 1 in the amount of $92,281.19 to Nadeau Companies LLC for the 2020 pond maintenance project. • After a presentation from Goebel on the Park Plan, discussed the Hallam Park design and directed city staff to have the engineering fi rm redraw the design and bring it back to council

for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to solicit for bids. In 1992, Hallam Park was developed into a neighborhood park after the removal of the existing water tower. At that time, the construction included a playground, swings, basketball half court and a trail through the park. Now it is time to replace the improvements made in 1992. WSB developed a slightly different plan for reconstruction than what was approved in the 2018 Parks Master Plan to avoid footings still in the ground from the former water tower. • After discussing the establishment of a joint powers entity for information technology (IT) shared services, agreed to move forward with joining the new IT group. When council approved the IT shared services agreement with the city of Roseville in 2012, about 10 member cities were part of the group. Now, 46 entities are part of the technology group. The large number of government bodies that receive services has presented challenges to the city of Roseville, which is having trouble recruiting and retaining employees. Discussion about the creation of a new joint powers entity among the participants for these services is ongoing. For Mahtomedi, membership in the joint powers entity would result in an increase of $3,354, based on the 2020 budget and three votes on the joint powers board. Currently, the city is paying Roseville $67,081 for IT services in 2020. As an independent joint powers entity, members would have more self-governance. The six government bodies drafting the new joint powers agreement are Circle Pines, Maplewood, Mounds View, Mississippi Watershed, Roseville and St. Anthony. Services provided to city of Mahtomedi include computer and technical support, support for user, computer, exchange email, Windows server, network system, LAN/WAN, Cisco Telephony, software subscription, mobility services, facility Wi-Fi, visual server, Costco Smartnet and fiber maintenance. The effective date of the agreement is planned for Jan. 1, 2021. “I’m comfortable with what I’ve been told, and think we should move positively forward to see what comes out,” said Wolgamot. The council next meets at 7 p.m. March 17 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

OBITUARY NOTICE

Lynn (nee Pedersen) Schroeder Age 53, peacefully passed away while flying home from the trip of a lifetime to the Holy Land (Israel). She was seated next to her husband, Erich Schroeder, of nearly 30 years when she headed off to her eternal home instead of returning to her earthly home in Plymouth. Although Lynn had flu symptoms prior to boarding the plane, she had been healthy and participating in all aspects of the trip. The main cause of Lynn’s passing is likely due to a fungal lung infection she was being treated for since January and other pre-existing autoimmune system conditions. Lynn had a strong faith in Jesus. Her life and personality are perhaps best summarized by Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Lynn believed in Christ as the Good Shepherd and He prepared her and her

family in many amazing ways for her unexpected passing that are only now being realized. Lynn grew up in White Bear Lake and graduated from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Lynn is preceded in death by her sister Jill. Lynn is survived by her husband, Erich, three children; Erynn Janece (26), Alexa Rae (24) and Grant Spencer (23), loving parents, Peder and Judy Pedersen and brother, Peder J. (P.J.) Pedersen, MD and his wife Mary Ellen Domeier and their children, Katherine and Kimberly; also many close friends and relatives who adored Lynn. Two organizations were very important to Lynn in her life. Light of Hope Ministries (LOH) (763-559-8688; lightofhopekenya.org), a Christian based home and school for young girls in Kenya, and Village Schools of the Bible (952-540-9460; villageschoolsofthebible.org), an organization that helped Lynn and Erich understand the rich story of salvation woven throughout the Bible. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to LOH or attending a Bible training class offered by Village Schools of the Bible or another quality Bible study program. A Celebration Of Life service will be held at Woodridge Church in Medina on Thursday, May 7 with service beginning at 1:30 p.m. A meal will follow the service.

Above: Some of the 147 volunteers — the most ever for the event — travel out onto the surface of White Bear Lake to pick up trash Saturday, Mar. 7. The annual event is a collaboration between various community organizations. The majority of volunteers this year came from nine local Scout Groups, with 30 volunteers from the Minnesota Geocaching Association. In addition, there were participants from the White Bear Lake Conservation District and members of the community at large.

Late winter ice cleanup effort

According to organizers, The haul was down this year with 247 pounds of trash collected. Conditions on the ice were favorable for the cleanup. Because most of the surface snow had melted, the trash remaining on the lake was easier to spot and collect. Over the past 10 years the event, hosted in partnership between the local Scouting Community and the White Bear Lake Conservation District, has collected more than 6,300 pounds of trash that otherwise would have melted into the lake at spring thaw. For the past several years, the White Bear Lake VFW has sponsored a free lunch for volunteers. This year the VFW provided funds to buy pizza for volunteers, with Mahtomedi’s Carbones Pizza and QC Pizza providing pizzas at a greatly discounted rate.

Mahtomedi on top after dramatic OT conquest of Hermantown BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

They’ll remember this play forever at Mahtomedi — JD Metz carrying the puck into the left corner, glancing to his right, firing a backward pass to Colin Hagstrom on a beeline toward the net, the puck being perfectly placed, and Hagstrom driving it into the upper corner of the net. Those were the overtime heroics that gave the Zephyrs their first state Class A hockey championship, in their 12th trip to state, on Saturday afternoon, capping a thriller before 8,978 fans at Xcel Energy Center. “I got a pass from Metzie and cut to the middle and it went in. Unbelievable. It still doesn’t seem real,” said Hagstrom about the game-winner at 2:44 into the extra session. Zephyr sophomore goalie Ben Dardis stopped 40 of 42 shots, allowing his team to win despite just making 12 shots on goal, a record low for a state finals winner, while Metz scored the first goal and assisted on the other two. “There was a lot of bending and not breaking,” said an elated Zephyr coach Jeff Poeschl about the highly-unusual win while being outshot 42 to 12 by a powerful Hermantown (23-4-4) offense led by Blake Biondi, named Mr. Hockey on Sunday. The No. 4-seeded Zephyrs (238) beat Delano 5-2 in the quarterfinals with a burst of four goals in the last four and a half minutes, then pummeled top-seeded Warroad 5-1 in the semifinals, before the tense conquest of No. 2-seed Hermantown, which tied the game with 21 seconds left in regulation. Mahtomedi was playing its first championship game, having been stopped in the semifinals five previous times, including last year’s top-seeded team falling 3-2 in overtime to Greenway-Nashwauk-Kewautin, whom they had beaten 5-2 in December. It was great irony that a year after that bitter defeat the Zephyrs would similarly topple a Hermantown team that had whupped them 9-2 before Christmas. Asked why this was the team that finally got to the top, Poeschl said they “bought in all year” to the coaches admonitions to foster “care and compassion and heart and commitment to each other” and always have each other’s back even during occasional strife “like a family.” He added that this was a group that “never got down.” Of course, it helped to have a red-hot goalie, too. The 5-7, 140-pound Dardis, after a shaky first period of the tournament when he gave up two goals to Delano, settled down and stopped 82 of 87 shots. He made the all-tournament team along with Metz, Nikolai Dulak and defenseman Nathan Gruhlke. “I don’t know what more we could have done,” said Hermantown coach Patrick Andrew about his team’s relentless pressure on Dardis and the Zephyr net. “That kid played out of his mind ... It was a clinic of how to play goalie. He was never out of position.” Mahtomedi’s first two goals

came on power plays. Metz drilled a long slap shot at 6:19 of the first period that glanced off a Hawk defenseman and into the net. Ethan Peterson scored 1:47 into the second period with a quick shot off another on-target feed by Metz from behind the net. Hermantown’s Drew Sams connected on a slap shot at 11:41 of the second period, the puck deflecting off Metz and past Dardis. The Zephyrs clung to the 2-1 lead throughout a third period in which they were outshot 23-3 — until the Hawks finally got the equalizer with 21 ticks left. Dardis was knocked on his backside in a scrum at the net and Aaron Pionk poked the puck past him. Officials reviewed it, and ruled the goal clean. “We were definitely stunned to give up a goal with 21 seconds left, but we knew if we stuck with the game plan we could do it,” said Metz, who had one more big play in him. Poesch said the 42-12 shot differential was not as lopsided as it appeared because the Zephyrs kept the Hawks shooting from the outside, blocked several shots and covered the rebounds. The hard-working defensive corps included seniors Gruhlke, Max Pieper and Justin

Lallak, junior Tony Neubeck and sophomores Grant Dardis and Owen Harrod. “We were not going to be able to go toe-to-toe with a team like Hermantown,” Poeschl said. “We were not going to come out on top in a track meet with them. But our game plan was to take time and space away from them, and eliminate the odd-man rush, and I don’t remember them having a single odd-man rush.” Mahtomedi’s Metro East Conference also produced the Class AA champion, Hill-Murray, which beat Eden Prairie 4-1 in the finals, and a Class AA semifinalist, St. Thomas Academy. The west metro usually overshadows the east metro but not this year, Poeschl noted. “I’m awfully proud of … the way we’ve represented our conference.” Hockey is the ninth sport in which Mahtomedi has won a state championship, along with football, baseball, boys track, girls tennis, gymnastics, girls soccer, boys golf, and girls golf. This is Mahtomedi’s second state team title of the year as the girls soccer won their third in a row.

Zephyrs 5, Delano 2 The Zephyrs trailed 2-1 in the quarterfinals until 4:22 remained, when Adam Johnson

scored on a one-on-one breakaway off a long, perfect pass from Johnson. Metz back-handed a goal off a slick feed from Dulak for the lead with 3:14 left. Dulak made it 4-2 with 1:50 left after Ryan Berglund snared the puck between two Delano players. Hagstrom hit an empty-netter with seven seconds left. Billy Buttermore had the first Zephyr goal. Jesse Peterson and Gunnar Paulson scored for Delano in the first period.

Zephyrs 5, Warroad 1 “Some of our biggest fans in this tournament,” said Poeschl, “are the alums from that 1994 team that lost to Warroad in the semifinals, in overtime. We had a lot of texts this morning and a lot of them were from the 1994 team.” In their first meeting since then, the Zephyrs got some semifinal revenge 26 years later, pumping in five goals in a 21-minute stretch overlapping the first and second periods. Buttermore again got the Zephyrs first goal. Hagstrom notched a power play goal (great feed from Metz), just the fifth Warroad allowed all year. Adam Johnson, Gruhlke, and Johnson again found the net to make it 5-1. Grant Slukynsky scored his 38th goal for Warroad.

State tourney hero Hagstrom gets Herb Brooks Award

Local 8th-grade gymnast earns U.S. elite status

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Colin Hagstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bio on the Notre Dame lacrosse website next year will probably include an interesting item. If their Sports Information Department is on the ball, they will mention that, along with being an all-state lacrosse winger and face-off specialist, he also scored the overtime game-winning goal for Mahtomedi in the Minnesota state hockey championship game. Lacrosse will be the college sport for the hockey hero. Asked if the gold-medal-winning goal was his last official act as a hockey player, Hagstrom said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except for when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m older, and skating with the boys later on, because we will probably get together. But as of now, yes.â&#x20AC;? Hagstrom was playing in his seventh state tournament. It was his fourth in hockey, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played in three (so far) in lacrosse. The senior forward and his team are grateful he was playing in this tournament at all, after he missed the first 13 games with a broken fibula. Hagstrom received the Herb Brooks Award after the championship game. Presented by the Brooks family, it goes to the state tournament player who best represents â&#x20AC;&#x153;the values, characteristics and traitsâ&#x20AC;? of the legendary coach.

Lily Pederson, White Bear Lake eighth-grader, has achieved Junior Elite status in gymnastics, a level currently held by just 22 of her peers in the country. Pederson racked up the highest score, 52.7, among 120 junior gymnasts from around the country the Metroplex Challenge and National Elite Qualifier in Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 24-25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lily is a very determined young lady with high goals and expectations for herself,â&#x20AC;? said Lori Roskoski, coach at Flips in White Bear Lake, where Lily has been a member since age three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lily also has a very energetic and bouncy personality, which is infectious to those around her.â&#x20AC;? Pederson, who attends Central Middle School, is 4-foot-6 and â&#x20AC;&#x153;weighs 88 pounds of pure muscle, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Roskoski, who coaches her in beam and floor while husband Bart coaches her in vault and bars. The Fort Worth meet was the first of five such qualifiers scheduled and Pederson succeeded right away by beating the required qualifying score of 50.5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes most girls two or three tries to get the score needed to qualify,â&#x20AC;? said her mother, Monica, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so getting her score on her first try was quite the accomplishment.â&#x20AC;? This was her first time in Juniors after competing previously in the Hopes division (pre-Elite, age 10-13) where she placed second all-around at U.S. Hopes Championships last year and won floor exercise, after placing four all-around in 2018. Her only other meet this year was the Winter Challenge at the state fairgrounds where she won all-around,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Herb Brooks Award is a snapshot of Colin,â&#x20AC;? said coach Jeff Poeschl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He persevered. He came to every practice and every team meeting. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be on the bench filling water bottles. When he got the boot on heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d shoot pucks after practice. He stayed involved the whole way. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he was the most excited, or if we were, when he got back on the ice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to support my team,â&#x20AC;? Hagstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told myself there was no way I would not come back.â&#x20AC;? Hagstrom had five goals in 12 regular-season games, then rattled the nets for six goals in six section and state games, the last of which will go down in Zephyr history.

Bear boys fall to Woodbury 48-44, finish 13-13 with eight each, and freshman Jack Janicki and junior Kanye Raheem with seven each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our seniors worked hard and our underclassmen gained good varsity experience,â&#x20AC;? Lockwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of this yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team and look forward to the following seasons as our young guys continue to develop.â&#x20AC;? For Woodbury (19-8), Mac Lockner and Bradley Cimperman scored 12 points each. It was the Bears lowest-scoring game of the year. Bruce Strand

Gentry Academy completed its second boys hockey season as a Minnesota State High School League team with 21-5 record. Although the season ended with an upset loss, the squad made a huge jump from its first season when they were 13-12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our season was a step in the right direction for the program,â&#x20AC;? coach Joe Cullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we did not achieve our goal, I still feel it was a good year for us and we have a lot to be proud of.â&#x20AC;? The roster for the five-year-old Vadnais Heights school includes players from Edina, Fridley, Stillwater and Worthington, plus families that moved to Minnesota from Grand Forks, Vancouver and Washington, D.C. Gentry Academy also has team playing a national schedule, Galaxy U-16, but plans to dissolve it after this season. Some of those players will join the Stars next year.

competing at Level 10 in the Junior Olympics system. Pedersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature skills, said Roskoski, are an Arabian double front and a full-in (double flip with full twist) on floor exercise, a double pike dismount on balance beam, her yurchenko one-and-a-half vault, and her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yaegerâ&#x20AC;? on uneven bars (releasing, flipping and re-catching the bar). Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Pederson is trying to qualify for the U.S. Championships in June in Fort Worth. Toward that end sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll compete at the American Classic in Indiana in April and the U.S. Classic in Hartford, Conn. in May. If she scores 51.0 at either, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go to the national meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her ultimate goal for 2020 is to be named to the U.S. Junior National Team â&#x20AC;Ś by placing in the top 10 at the U.S. Championships.â&#x20AC;? That would allow her to attend the national training camp and be eligible for international assignments starting in 2021.

Financial Management 3 investing tips for beginners 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. 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.

Investing requires risk, but novice investors should not allow that to keep them on the sidelines.

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.

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 markets.

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.”

To take advantage of this special offer, call 651-762-8040 before 3/25/20.

Sincerely, Dr. Dustin Carlson D.C.
