Bowfishermen aim to catch business BY SHANNON GRANHOLM CITIZEN EDITOR
Two local businessmen have set out to introduce people to their hobby while doing what they love and reducing the number of rough fish in local lakes. White Bear 2005 grads Ben Borowske, of Stacy, and Nik Anderson, of Hugo, founded their company B.A. Bowfishing Guide Service about two years ago. Although the business is fairly new, the two were first exposed to the sport 15 years ago. “We tried out bowfishing in
Wisconsin and loved it,” Anderson said. Borowske and Anderson kept taking friends out to give the sport a try, and they loved it. “They got hooked so fast. I looked around and there was really nothing in this area, so we figured it would be a good opportunity. There are guide services for all types of fishing, but there are only a couple of bowfishing guide services in the state,” Borowske explained. The two bought a boat, rebuilt it and decided to start a business, even though it wasn't the ideal time. Anderson and his
wife have a 2-year-old and a 4-month old and Borowske and his wife have a 2-1/2-year-old and just welcomed a newborn. In addition, both have fulltime jobs. Borowske is an equipment operator for Ramsey County and Anderson works at 3M in international business. “We want to introduce people to the sport. That is why we started, because we loved doing it so much,” Anderson said. There is an additional benefit, he noted: B.A Bowfishing targets rough fish, mainly SEE BOWFISHING, PAGE 8A

Hy-Vee pulls out of Towers Crossing project BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Moving forward on the Lake Links loop Mike Brooks, at left, leads a group of bicyclists, including Minnesota State Representative Peter Fischer and Minnesota State Senator Chuck Wiger, middle back and far right, on a clockwise ride around White Bear Lake Saturday, June 3. The group was celebrating the passage last week of a bonding bill that includes preliminary engineering funding for MN 244; South Shore Boulevard; and Birchwood Road, as well as construction funding for the Lion’s Park link in White Bear Lake. Find information about the project on page 11A.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Much to the city’s surprise, the Iowa-based grocery giant that planned to build at Tower Crossings has decided the project is too expensive. City Development Director Anne Kane said she received a call from Hy-Vee representative Phil Hoey indicating they will not proceed with the project on Centerville Road. “He cited extraordinary project costs with site grading, the two-story design with smaller sales floor, high land costs to acquire the White Oak retail center and right of way improvements,” Kane said. “They are also in a lawsuit with Walgreen’s regarding a private land use restriction prohibiting pharmacy uses.” The Hy-Vee spokesman told Kane the company is committed to serving the White Bear market and found the site to be highly desirable; however, in the end, the construction bids were coming in substantially higher than projected and they’re just not able to justify the costs for the 70,000-square-foot store, fitness center, restaurant and pharmacy. “There wasn’t one deal or one facet that SEE DEVELOPMENT NIXED, PAGE 9A

Why isn’t Minnesota full of Bird Cities?
I
t was nearly dusk on the marsh as I walked along the boardwalk at the Birch Lake Rotary Park Preserve in White Bear Lake. I went slowly, listening closely to the chirps of swamp sparrows, the aggressive clamor of red-winged blackbirds and the echoing hoot of a barred owl from the nearby woods. I was searching for the first birds of the year, returning or passing through Minnesota on their spring migration. Suddenly, I saw a tiny creature scuttle under the boardwalk in front of me, and away into the tall grass. After a few minutes, I glimpsed it re-emerge into the open, and saw that it was a Virginia rail, a shy and petite waterbird that I never expected to see in my suburban neighborhood. Getting The Rotary Preserve’s unique habiin Tune tat creates a natural oasis for species like this one, which are unlikely to Jackie Bussjaeger spend time in other parts of the community. There are hundreds of wild spaces like this scattered throughout the Twin Cities metro, which provide safe habitat not only for birds and other wildlife, but a quiet place to take a breather for many humans as well. In my forays through parks across the Twin Cities, I’m surprised how often I run into other people who are also looking specifically for birds. Birders know the best places in our area to find the particular species they are looking for, and the metro area has an incredible variety of habitats that makes it hospitable to a vast range of species. Even still, many birders are willing to travel from one end of the state to the other to catch sight of that one species they’ve been after. In Wisconsin, there are cities that have taken advantage of the fact that so many birds – and people – flock to their locales. I recently learned that Osceola, Wisconsin was named the 100th Bird City in Wisconsin. Bird City Wisconsin was introduced by the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative (WBCI) in 2009, based on the Tree City USA campaign by the Arbor Foundation. The criteria to become a Bird City include creation and protection of habitat, participation in forest management programs, removing bird hazards, educating the public and hosting an International Migratory Bird Day event each year. Far more recently, the Audubon Society of Minnesota introduced Bird City Minnesota. Hastings was selected as the states’ first Bird City in 2016, followed shortly by St. Paul. The criteria for becoming a bird city is a little bit different – cities must fulfill seven out of 18 areas of best practices for birds in the categories of habitat improvement, threat reduction and citizen engagement. Becoming a bird city can help improve the health of the ecosystem, but has added benefits such as a reputation for conservation, a boost in tourism and a sense of community pride. Wisconsin has had a big head start, but in only eight years, it managed to declare 100 Bird Cities. I’d love to see some more cities added to the Minnesota roster in 2017 – perhaps in some of our favorite getaway spots, or right here at home. Many communities have already expressed support of pollinator-friendly resolutions; it seems like they would easily be able to take the next step to make a bird-friendly effort. Lino Lakes would be a shoe-in with its Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Preserve and heron rookery. Stillwater has many wild spaces, along with the St. Croix River Flyway, which funnels thousands of migrating birds every spring and fall. And the wide open lakes and hidden marshes of White Bear Lake harbor hundreds of species, from bald eagles to hummingbirds. Our communities already have a thriving population of bird life – why not make it official? To learn more about Bird City Minnesota, I encourage you to check out the page on the Audubon website at www.mn.audubon.org/conservation/minnesota-bird-cities.
An important endowment
A
t the elementary school one bright spring morning in May, newly mown grass heavy with dew sparkled in the sunlight. Children wearing bright orange shirts walked quietly from the school outdoors to assigned places around a newly landscaped pond. This was a special program to celebrate the new school garden. The principal gave a short thanking Movers & speech everyone who had so generously Shakers contributed to the Michael Lovett garden. Next, a child’s clear voice recited a poem. As sunshine warmed the children, the words of thanks and the words of the poem warmed the hearts of the visiting parents and guests. A brief dedication ceremony followed. Principal and students honored all the guests, including a couple now in their eighties who had worked with a teacher to begin a volunteer reading buddy program in the school nearly a decade before. The garden’s first bench was dedicated in their honor. Finally, all the children sang. Their clear voices were lifted on light breezes and carried beyond parking lots and playgrounds into the neighborhood. When the program was over, students and teachers solemnly walked back to school. Some adults tarried a while, not eager for the moment to pass. One guest remarked to another, “I was greeted so politely by one of the children when I arrived.” Then she described how poised the young student was, how the student had welcomed her, acted
as her host and helped her find a place to sit. “Where do these children learn to be so polite?” she wondered. I have an answer. I believe it has to do with a certain type of ‘endowment.’ Most colleges, universities, and even prep schools have endowments, sizable monies from which their schools can draw interest to fund whatever priorities they set. Of course, these endowments rise and fall with the economy. In the White Bear Lake Area Schools, we have a resource that is more dependable than an endowment of money. This resource does not fail to produce during a down economy. Our “endowment” is made up of people, mostly community members who contribute to the schools with their time. Some are retired. Others work regularly but take an hour or so each week to serve as a mentor or reading buddy. In the school I described above, more than 80 “reading buddies” come each week to work with individual students. Several years ago, I was invited to a community meeting. They wanted to know more about the schools — how students were doing and what they were learning. After our presentation and questions, the leader asked his friends and colleagues, “Who helped you learn to read?” Then he challenged those there with the follow-up question: “How many of you are willing to take just an hour a week to encourage a child and help that boy or girl learn to read?” This leader became a reading buddy, and since then has done all he can to help increase the size of our “human endowment.” And he was inspired by the couple I mentioned earlier — the ones who were honored last
month in the ceremony at the elementary school. Our mentoring programs have many names, but all are partnerships among willing community volunteers; school teachers and principals who coordinate the programs and match volunteers with children; and children who benefit from these partnerships. Some programs work with elementary children, especially in reading and math skills. Others volunteer in our high school writing center. Another program focuses on high school seniors, encouraging them to fi nish strong and make the transition to college or career. Besides the benefit to our students, school staff and volunteers benefit also. When volunteers are regularly in our schools they understand and appreciate the work of school staff. In a survey of community voters completed in May, eighty percent responded to the question, ”What grade would you give to the local public schools?” Of those responding, 83 percent gave the school district a grade of A or B. This human “endowment” has other positive effects beyond a single school year. Measures of student success are up in all levels. Besides improving test scores system wide, of this year’s senior class, 66 percent took at least one college- level course this year, our highest percentage yet. Do you remember the guest’s question about how the student learned to be so polite? I think it is due in part to the human “endowment” factor — those regular hours of special attention, encouragement, and help given to each child. What do you think? Dr. Michael Lovett is superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools.

Zippy BBQ chicken keeps hubby and company happy
C
ompany is coming, what to cook? Some days, it should be more like what shouldn’t I cook. In the past, I’ve gotten myself in over my head with menu choices. My husband and I have an agreement about when we entertain. I may not hide out in the kitchen and cook when company arrives. It used to be that I couldn’t wait to cook up a super-duper meal, which meant that I was probably not visiting with the company. I have learned when Wild Chow we have company, I stick to the basics, Lisa Erickson make something really easy or prepare some items ahead of time. Grilling BBQ is perfect for company. I usually make a cold salad, like potato salad and a fresh garden salad or slice fresh tomatoes early in the day and put them in serving dishes
in the fridge. I prep the meat with a dry rub. For dessert, I bake a cake ahead of time and serve it with some fresh berries or fruit. All I do is serve the food when it’s time for dinner. My hubby cooks the meat. It’s a win-win for everyone. I like this recipe because it has some zip. The vinegar gives it some pizzazz and the spices make the cool side salads taste even better. Dry Chicken Rub Serves 8 2 Tbsp. seasoned salt ½ Tbsp. garlic powder 1 Tbsp. onion powder 1 Tbsp. paprika 1 tsp. dried rosemary 1 tsp. thyme 1 tsp. pepper Combine the spices and set aside. Quarter 2 whole chickens (2 breasts with wing and legs with thigh meat). Rub dry spice mixture all over chicken
“My husband and I have an agreement about when we entertain. I may not hide out in the kitchen and cook when company arrives.” and set aside for two hours. Meat cooks best when it has come to room temp; I let my chicken sit out for only one hour before cooking. You can put the rub on early in the day, but refrigerate it until then. Heat the grill to hot and reduce the heat when you put the chicken on to medium low. Cook until juices run clear or meat registers 170 degrees on a meat thermometer. Brush with BBQ sauce and serve. Spicy Kentucky BBQ Sauce 2 tsp. coarse salt 2 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 tsp. pepper ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 stick butter ½ cup white vinegar In a small sauce pan over medium heat cook the butter until it has a deep golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 4 minutes. Add salt, sugar, pepper, cayenne pepper, and cornstarch; cook for about 30 seconds until slight thickened. Slowly add the vinegar and bring to a simmer. Let cool. If the butter solidifies, heat the sauce back to a simmer. Brush over grilled chicken and serve alongside for dipping. Lisa Erickson is a food columnist who loves adventure and food.

White Bear police preparing for body cameras BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Local police are testing out several different body camera options this summer. The White Bear Lake Police Department's hope is to have all patrol officers begin using them this fall, Police Chief Julie Swanson said. In the midst of testing the various types of cameras available, the department is also seeking input from the community about the plan to use body cameras, Swanson said. The department wanted to look into acquiring them because the public expects police to have them. “It is an expectation of the community in light of all the different law enforcement events,” Swanson said. “I think it is important because there is an expectation we are capturing a true event.” The White Bear Lake Police Department has had squad cameras for a decade and audio has been recorded by their microphones for a long time. Body cameras would add an extra level of recording in situations where officers are away from their squads, Swanson noted.
“It's not really changing how we work,” Swanson added. The department is mostly looking at models of cameras that would be part of the microphone system officers already wear. Other popular places to carry body cameras are the chest or shoulder. “We don't want to bog them down with more equipment,” Swanson noted. The department is testing various cameras for their functionality and features. Swanson said she hopes to find a good one with redaction software, which would mean parts of the video could be blurred or muted to protect the privacy of individuals shown in the footage. A bill passed by the Legislature last year outlines what body camera footage is considered public, according to the Revisor of Statutes website. Data is nonpublic unless an officer discharges a firearm or an officer's use of force causes substantial bodily harm, according to the statute. A person in a video can also request it be made public as long as any other citizens in the video who do not want to be seen are blurred out. A law enforcement agency can also
Mahtomedi Schools go on lockdown after bounty hunter spotted MAHTOMEDI — Schools across the district were locked down around lunchtime June 1 — the situation was initiated by the sight of a bounty hunter looking for people with warrants. All district buildings were locked down about 12:30 p.m. after Mahtomedi Public School's resource officer learned of a person who was spotted wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a weapon near the intersection of East Avenue and Juniper Street, reported Superintendent Mark Larson. Two students off campus reported seeing a male putting on a bulletproof vest with a large black gun near the high school, said Chief Deputy Brian Mueller. He had a blue truck, the students said. “At no time was the individual on
take out portions that are “clearly offensive to common sensibilities,” according to the bill. The police department plans to present its testing research to the City Council before the cameras are implemented, Swanson said. “There are different views on if they should be used or not used,” noted the chief. “We do care what everyone has to say about it.” The department has budgeted about $1,000 per camera and $1,000 per year per camera going forward for maintenance. The purchase of 20 to 30 cameras is anticipated. “It's a big decision for us,” Swanson said. Other police departments in Minnesota have implemented the use of body cameras in recent years. The Centennial Lakes Police Department in Circle Pines is also planning to roll out body cameras this year, Lt. Russell Blanck said. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.
PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Backyard fire contained in Mahtomedi A fire that started in a backyard on Woodland Court in Mahtomedi the afternoon of May 31 was mostly confined to the outside of the home, said Mahtomedi Fire Chief Terry Fischer. “It sounded like it started out on the deck or the patio area on the back side of the townhome,” Fischer said. However, the house sustained smoke damage and water damage from the home's sprinkler system that activated. There were no injuries, Fischer said. Several other departments responded, including White Bear Lake, Oakdale and Stillwater, and the fire was put out within an hour.
district property,” Larson noted. “For the safety of our students and staff, though, all district buildings implemented a modified lockdown.” Students were kept inside their classrooms but teaching continued while the situation was investigated, Larson said. The Washington County Sheriff's Office found the individual at his home and found out he was a bounty hunter with the correct credentials, Mueller said. The bounty hunter was released. He was apparently getting ready to look for some people with warrants out for their arrest, Mueller added. The lockdown lasted about an hour, Larson said. SUBMITTED

BOWFISHING: Sport targets rough fish species FROM PAGE 1A
carp, but also bullheads, suckers, dogfi sh, gar and more. “Carp eat the eggs of game fi sh and stir up the bottom. They have no predators once they reach adult age, which only takes one year. The DNR nets rough fi sh to reduce the populations, so this works hand in hand,” Anderson explained. After they are caught, the rough fi sh are picked up by someone who uses them for feeding his pigs and for fertilizer. Currently Borowske and Anderson bowfish in Washington and Chisago counties, but are not allowed to hunt within Ramsey County due to fi rearms restrictions that include bows. Typically, the two take customers on trips every Friday and Saturday night to teach them the sport and allow them to use the equipment. Although they primarily bowfi sh at night, they also sometimes take trips during the day. The busiest months of the business are April through June, but they offer trips until September. “To get started, the equipment isn't necessarily
cheap, it is not just going out with a fi shing rod. We have a lot of people who are afraid to commit to fully setting up who will come out with us, or people who are trying it for the fi rst time,” Anderson said. In addition to fi rst-timers and families, they also do work-type events where employers organize a bowfi shing get-together. Recently Jordan Leopold, a former NHL player, tried it out. Here is how it works: Bowfi shers troll a lake's perimeter in about 5 feet of water searching for invasive fi sh species. The fiberglass arrow is tethered by a 200-pound test line to the boat and can travel a maximum of 30 feet. The boat must also be a minimum of 150 feet from a residence. At night, LED lights are used to light up the lake and all the species swimming around in it. This year, B.A. Bowfi shing purchased new equipment from Full Draw Archery in Stacy. “You can have a 10-year-old kid shoot, or you can have a 6-foot-5 man shoot. You can adjust the string length based on arm span,” Anderson said. The experience is comfortable, as the 20-foot Weeres Pontoon has a 6-by-8 foot shooting plat-
form up front. “It is more stable and there is more space to fit more people,” Borowske said. Once on the boat, customers learn all about safety features, the equipment and techniques. Anderson said they love “sharing that moment when people shoot their fi rst fi sh. It is such a rush. When you see a fi sh and you are drawing back on it, your heart gets going and your adrenaline starts flowing.” B.A Bowfi shing also donates trips to charity a couple times a year. Last year the company donated a free trip for two to a silent auction to help raise money for Matt Olson, a 2014 Totino-Grace High School graduate who suffered a serious spinal injury during a junior hockey game. For more information, visit the company's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BABowfi shingMN or the website at www.babowfi shing. com.

made it fall apart,” Kane said. “I know the developer will cite grading as one of the extraordinary factors. You don’t always deal with as much grading as they had with Mrs. Lande’s property.” The property was formerly owned by the late Jarmila Lande. A future traffic signal on Centerville Road by the new senior living complex was another cost. Hy-Vee was to bear 50 percent of the installation. “The (lack of a) signal is concerning,” added Kane. “There are 120 apartments there. It’s not in my realm, but we may have to meet with county engineers and explore a stop sign there.” Kane said she’s received many calls from local business owners excited about Hy-Vee coming to the neighborhood. “These were all positive ripples that now will be put on the back burner.” One business that no doubt is glad to hear the news is the Kowalski’s-owned Cub Foods across the street. In his reply to an email request for comment, Mike Oase, vice president of operations, wrote one short sentence: “Hy-Vee’s decision makes sense given the complexity of the site and amount of additional traffic it would have added to Centerville Road and Highway 96.” The city planner is confident there will be another proposal for the 5-acre site. “It’s a key site in a growth corridor,” Kane said. “There is great exposure. We grow this community by bringing value into those vacant properties. There will be something.”
Tickborne illness expert provides free Lyme education to physicians BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Though recent headlines alerted Minnesotans to the threat of tickborne virus Powassan, Dr. Elizabeth Maloney of Wyoming said it's not as alarming as the headlines would have you believe. There have been about 20 cases of Powassan in Minnesota since 2008, so it isn't a new threat. While Powassan is something to be concerned about, Maloney said that Lyme and other illnesses are much more likely to affect the lives of Minnesotans. “I'm not sure why there was so much aggressive reporting about (Powassan) recently,” she said. “I don't know if it's also because it's borne by blacklegged ticks. It is a serious illness if you contract it, but in the grand scheme of things Lyme is much more serious.” Maloney's mission is provide education about tickborne illness to medical practitioners all over the state of Minnesota and beyond. She runs the website LymeCME, which offers free, accredited continuing education modules about tickborne disease. Maloney confi rmed that this year is expected to have a high tick population, mostly due to a mild winter and lots of spring moisture. “Ticks dry out easily, so when we have a moist spring after a mild winter, we have greater number of ticks,” she said. “They are built to survive winter; they have antifreeze in their blood. It only takes one tick to infect someone.” There are a few different species of ticks found in Minnesota, but the one that poses the biggest threat of disease to humans is the blacklegged tick, also known as the deer tick. It is one of the smallest, and difficult to detect on clothing and skin. It can carry Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and a variety of other diseases, causing an unpre-
dictable range of symptoms such as fever, nausea, severe joint pain and more. A person can be infected without showing symptoms for months or even years, and diagnosis is tricky. That's why Maloney wants to provide education to as many physicians as she can. “Continuing medical education for physicians is my target audience,” she said. “I do that online so they can do it when it's convenient, and it's accredited, because they have to have so many credits per year. And it's all free. I think we're getting more (participants) now, so we're hoping to climb over (the) couple hundred mark soon. It's tricky because physicians are wary because Lyme remains a controversial illness.” The controversy stems from the fact that there are so many unknowns about Lyme disease, she explained. “We don't know why some people don't respond to treatment,” she said. In treatment trials, 20-25 percent of those infected still do not feel well after the six-month mark. “We don't know why the bacteria settles in certain places in the body as opposed to others, and we don't know how to control the immune response when someone is infected, because in early cases (the immune system) is not as effective as it should be, and sometimes it goes into overdrive. And then there's a whole genetic component we don't really understand.” Maloney said that medical schools and training programs can sometimes present a “black-and-white picture” of Lyme disease. “Physicians don't understand the various symptoms and patterns Lyme disease could present,” she said. “I picture it as a puzzle. If you don't know what your puzzle is depicting, you need a lot of puzzle pieces to fi gure it out.” For example, many people are taught that the rash that might indicate Lyme disease looks like a

bullseye, but only about 20 percent of these rashes actually appear that way. In 30 percent of cases, there is no rash at all. “So if I'm teaching physicians, it's more likely that they would have no rash,” Maloney said. “So we have to re-teach them what to look for.” Since Lyme is difficult to diagnose and might be present even when tests come back negative, Maloney said the best way to treat it is to begin Lyme treatment for anyone who comes in complaining of symptoms that sound like a “summertime flu.” This might include fever, muscle aches and sore throat. “If they do (report) that during what we call tick season, physicians in our area should be so suspicious of Lyme disease that they should opt to treat those people,” she said. “Testing is likely to be negative even in someone who truly has Lyme disease.” If you do decide to spend time outdoors, particularly in areas that are damp or have long, thick grass, Maloney said the best defense is permethrin-treated clothing. Permethrin is an insecticide — unlike insect repellents, it kills ticks that come into contact with it. Permethrin treatments can be purchased at many local outdoors and sporting stores. “An ounce of permethrin is worth a pound of antibiotics,” Maloney said. “So they never get a tick bite, and they'll never need antibiotics.” For those who want to learn more about tickborne illness, Maloney recommends www.partnershipfortickbornedieaseseducation.org as a useful resource for anyone who plans to spend time in the great outdoors this summer. Another resource for tickborne illness in the Twin Cities metro area is the Minnesota Lyme Association (MLA) support group, which meets one Tuesday each month at the White Bear Lake District Center. May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and the group hosted sever-

al public events over the weekend of May 5-7. This included an awareness walk around the Mall of America and a fundraiser performance of “Church Basement Ladies” at the Plymouth Playhouse. The MLA often invites speakers from medical and scientific fields to share their knowledge with the group. Dr. Meaghan Kirschling of Natural Medicine of Stillwater was the guest at the May 9 meeting. Kirschling discussed small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a medical condition that has similarities to Lyme, but often goes undetected. Natural Medicine of Stillwater specializes in treating this condition, and helps those with Lyme symptoms get tested and treated. The most effective treatment for SIBO is effective use of probiotics in the diet, along with some prescribed antibiotics and herbs. Learn more at www.stillwaternatural.com/sibo-resources. The next meeting of the Minnesota Lyme Association is 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 13 at 4885 Bloom Ave., White Bear Lake. Learn more at www.mnlyme.org.

Following the bed-and-breakfast dream BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
SIREN, Wisconsin — One white bear yard decoration has found a new home in a garden across the St. Croix River. The white bear moved to the gardens at Lilac Village Bed & Breakfast in Siren after its owners, Pattie and Neal Wilson, bought the B&B two years ago. “We had to take a piece of White Bear Lake with us,” Pattie said. “We loved White Bear Lake.” The Wilsons plan to sell their house in White Bear Lake this summer to invest in the bed-and-breakfast dream house. Over Memorial Day weekend, the white bear was guarding a pink lilac bush in the backyard, a late-blooming variety named “Little Princess.” There are about 24 varieties of lilacs that grow in the B&B’s gardens, Pattie said. They bloom at various points in the spring. One of the latest bloomers is the Japanese lilac tree, which was still sporting tiny buds in late May. The Lilac Village Bed & Breakfast is aptly named after the town of Siren, which was originally spelled Syren, Swedish for lilac, Pattie noted. The house was originally built in the 1930s as a boarding house for teachers who worked at the school just down the block. The house is filled with 1930s-era décor, and breakfast is served on pink Depression glass, which was inexpensive then but is now a prized antique.

The Lilac Village Bed & Breakfast in Siren, Wisconsin was reopened by White Bear Lake residents Pattie and Neal Wilson two years ago.
There are three rooms for guests in the B&B. Two have whirlpool tubs, including the feature room, which is decorated with a lilac quilt, wallpaper, paintings and splashes of purple.

There are over 24 lilac varieties in the gardens at the bed & breakfast. The town of Siren was originally spelled Syren, Swedish for lilac.
The two other rooms are decorated in garden themes — one would remind guests of June roses and the other of summer marigolds. Coffee is served in a sunroom in the early morning and fresh fruit leads off breakfast in a dining room swinging with ‘30s music. Quiche and Belgian waffles or egg bake and caramelized raspberry French toast may come next. The house first became a B&B in 1999 and was closed for several years before the Wilsons bought it. Owning a B&B and using her gift of hospitality had been one of Pattie’s longtime dreams. When the Wilsons found one that cost less than their rambler in White Bear Lake, they jumped on it. “Everybody who knows me says, ‘That is so you,’” Pattie noted. One of her first guests, to whom she gave a free visit, was the chaplain from Cerenity Senior Care in White Bear Lake, where she used to work. Pattie said she wants the B&B to be a place of refreshment for people. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

Lake Links group celebrates legislative funding MAHTOMEDI — The group spearheading a multiuse trail around White Bear Lake celebrated passage of the bonding bill signed by Gov. Mark Dayton last week. The State of Minnesota will provide $255,000 in funding for preliminary engineering and construction for projects endorsed by the Lake Links Association in its efforts to complete the lake route. Of that amount, $130,000 will go to the city of White Bear Lake to provide partial funding for construction of the extension of the city’s trail from Lions Park to South Shore Boulevard. This project will be completed in 2018 and represents an important addition to White Bear Lake’s Lake Avenue (Sather) Trail. The balance of the funds will provide for preliminary engineering for areas around the lake where no safe route now exists. These include a grant for South Shore Trail in White Bear Lake and White Bear Township; for Birchwood Road and Hall Avenue between Mahtomedi and Birchwood; and for the north and east side of White Bear Lake, primarily Mahtomedi and Dellwood avenues. It has been less than four months since the Lake Links Association organized. Lake Links Washington County Chair Steve Wolgamot com-

Matt Dean, all of whom stepped forward
construction of the most critical — and currently unsafe — links can begin in 2018. “The public loves trails,” noted Wiger during the gathering at Roma’s. “The need, the vision, the neighborhood enthusiasm and support generated legislative support leading to success. The people spoke; the Legislature responded. Congratulations to the neighborhoods for the effort. It’s a great movement that put it together and the enthusiasm was contagious. Getting the support of residents from neighboring communities was a remarkable accomplishment. The can-do attitude and leadership made it happen. I was proud to be a messenger, and I look forward to continued momentum and years of enjoyment for the community and future generations of people of all ages and abilities.” Wiger’s counterpart in the House, Rep. Fischer, said he was “thrilled” with the outcome. “It’s been kind of like a lifelong dream,” he said. “To see this fi nally happening is exciting. And the way the community is coming together is really exciting. It couldn’t have happened without grassroots support. This is the kind of thing that gives me hope.” Compiled from press release

During the depths of World War II, Frenchman Marcel Heuzé mailed letters home from a Nazi labor camp. Sixty years later, designer Carolyn Porter found Marcel’s letters at an antique store in Stillwater and began to transform Marcel’s
handwriting into a modern computer font. After having one letter translated into English, she became obsessed with fi nding answers to the questions: Who was Marcel? Why had he been in Germany? And most importantly: Did he survive? Marcel’s Letters is the incredible story of Carolyn’s obsessive search to uncover the mystery of Marcel’s fate. FREE event but donations are welcome. Presented by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society in partnership with the Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake.

Proposed bus line in White Bear Lake rolling along Two key governing bodies of the Rush Line project voted recently to endorse bus rapid transit (BRT) service running mostly in bus-only lanes between Union Depot in downtown Saint Paul and White Bear Lake. The Rush Line Corridor Task Force and Policy Advisory Committee each voted to recommend BRT service as the “Locally Preferred Alternative” on a 14-mile route along Robert Street, Phalen Boulevard, Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority right-of-way alongside the Bruce Vento Trail, and Highway 61. "Today we have passed a key milestone for the Rush Line,” said Corridor Task Force Chair and Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt. “The unanimous endorsement of a bus rapid transit line allows us to move one step closer to bringing this needed service to our residents and businesses. With the help of the community, we can now focus our efforts on the environmental and design details to ensure that maximum benefits are achieved.” Selecting the Locally Preferred Alternative is the project stage in which many options for routes and vehicle types are narrowed to one. It follows an intensive planning and public engagement process underway since May 2014. The advisory committee and task force deliberated over factors including cost, ridership, travel time, access to job and activity centers, and development potential. They also gathered direct input from neighbors, commuters, businesses and community groups in determining the most promising potential route and service options. “Today’s votes cap a thorough and balanced process,” said Policy Advisory Chair Nora Slawik. “Input from our citizens and communities has been

essential in driving to this resolution which best meets the needs of those living and working in the Rush Line corridor.” The Locally Preferred Alternative must now be presented and approved by the elected officials of each city along the line – Saint Paul, Maplewood, White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights and Gem Lake – along with the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority in order to advance to the next project stages of environmental review, design and engineering. Construction of the line could begin as soon as 2023. Service among the line’s 20 stations is proposed with hybrid-electric buses running every 10 minutes during peak traffic periods and every 15 minutes
from early morning until midnight every day of the week. Most of the route will run on dedicated bus-only lanes. In downtown Saint Paul, outside lanes on Robert Street would be dedicated to buses during peak periods. Between Arcade Street in Saint Paul and a proposed station at St. John’s Hospital in Maplewood, the line will run adjacent and separated from bicyclists and pedestrians on the Bruce Vento Trail using existing right-of-way owned by the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. Along Highway 61, buses would run on reinforced, dedicated shoulder lanes similar to the Red Line operation on Highway 77. Daily Rush Line ridership is estimated at nearly 6,000 by 2040. More
than 60,000 people live near the line’s station areas which are located at job and activity centers, health care facilities and clinics, economic development nodes and transportation hubs, including Union Depot and the Maplewood Mall Transit Center and Park and Ride. The estimated $420 million project also envisions new Park and Ride facilities near Highway 36 and English Street and in White Bear Lake. Planned stations include features similar to the Green Line and A Line such as real-time arrival and departure information, security cameras and ticket machines. From press release

The first-time event featured a variety of displays and educational sessions focusing on the ways we use water in everyday life. At right: DNR Hydrologist Paul Putzier shared a variety of facts during his “Water: Magic, Golden & Unfair” presentation including: There are eight aquifers in the Twin Cities area and — depending on the depth of the aquifer it came from — the age of the water used in the state is between 4,000 and 40,000 years old. He also said that the average resident of White Bear Lake uses a total of 60 gallons of water a day and that the most irrigated crop in the United States is not corn, soybeans or almonds, but grass lawns.

Athlete in wheelchair savors her four years with Bear track team BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mitzi Probst did not anticipate, in junior high, that sports would be part of her high school experience. But the Vadnais Heights resident decided to give wheelchair track-and-field a try, and four years later is so glad she did. So is her White Bear Lake team. “I started out my freshman year, as someone who did not expect to ever do a varsity sport, much less track and field,” said Probst. “Over the years, I have competed in three state meets and look forward to my final one next week. Track has made me a much more upbeat and outgoing person.” Probst will compete at the state meet, along with several longtime teammates, Friday and Saturday at Hamline. Wheelchair athletes compete at the same time as the non-disabled athletes in this sport. “It has been great experience for her and our team,” said Richard Samuelson, girls track head coach. “Both the team and Mitzi have benefitted greatly.” Teammates and coaches were cheering for Probst when she achieved a long-time goal of getting under a minute in the 200 meters. That occurred at this year’s section meet, with seven seconds to spare. “I finally did it. I worked hard and figured out how
to configure my compensator,” Probst explained. “It took a lot of technical thinking and trial and error to get that time.” Her time that day was 53.66 seconds. Other personal-bests are 31.92 seconds for 100 meters; 14 feet, 10 inches in shot put; and 26 feet, 7 inches in discus. She sits on a special stand for the showing events. In most meets, Probst is the lone contestant in her events, and she holds all the conference and section records. At state, there’s usually one or two more kids in her events. Probst, who can walk, albeit slowly, said her physical situation was too “complex” to explain. Her real name is Miriam but everyone calls her Mitzi. She is an outstanding student, ranking seventh of 513 seniors with a 4.3 grade-point-average. Probst plans to attend Concordia College in Moorhead and study neuroscience. “As for track,” she said, “I am still exploring future possibilities.”

Bears golf team heads to state The White Bear Lake girls golf team capped off its season by fi nishing fi rst at the section tournament on Friday, June 2 at Tanners Brook in Forest Lake. The Bears shot a school record 707 (357-350) for the two-day event. They beat perennial powerhouse Stillwater by 14 strokes (715) and favorite Cretin Derham Hall by 34 (741). The Bears were led by junior Bella Hage who shot 81-85 (166) to tie for 4th place over all. "This was truly a team effort," stated coaches Betsy
Larey and Sue Ryan. Every player on the squad shot their best rounds of the year. Other scores included senior Claire Rau 176, senior Dani Menk 177, senior Kayla Borglund 188, sophomore Makena Pratt 198 and senior Rebecca Sanda 212. Next up for the Bears is the State Tournament June 14 and 15 at Bunker Hills Golf Course. They will be competing against seven other schools for the State Champion title. Submitted SUBMITTED

Tennis team section runner-up The Mahtomedi tennis team captured the conference championship and was runner-up to Mounds View in the section tournament, finishing 15-5 in duals. Spencer Wick and Josh Anderson were section runners-up in doubles and will play at state Thursday and Friday. The Zephyrs fell to Mounds View 5-2 in the Section 4AA finals, with Wick and Jason Smyth winning at No. 1 and No. 3 singles and two other matches went three sets. “We marked that day on the calendar as The Match we wanted to play and prepare for,” coach Daniel Meron said. “Spencer and Jason came up with big wins for us. Unfortunately we came up a bit short in the other matches … All credit to Mounds View for closing out those close matches.” Mahtomedi went 7-0 in the Metro East, then beat Rosevlle Area 6-1 and Stillwater 4-3 to reach the section finals.

Thriving throwers help Bear girls snag section crown
Bear boys lacrosse falls in section semifinals
For two months, several White Bear Lake girls have been showing up Saturdays to work on shot put and discus. The extra efforts have paid off, especially for Alexys Guidry.
White Bear Lake boys lacrosse thumped Roseville Area 14-4 in the opening round of Section 4 playoffs on Thursday but lost to Tartan 18-7 in the semifinals on Saturday and finished 10-5. Kyle Preslaski drilled four goals and Jack McKeague three against Roseville with Ethan Menne, Jace Goudreau and Adam Woodcock adding two each.
3200, McManamon fourth and fifth in hurdles, Thiesfeld fourth in discus, Robert Peck fourth in pole vault and Paramo fifth in long jump. Roen, Callahan, Rohlinger and Truen placed second in the 4x800.
Bear nine wins in 13 and nine innings before bowing out A pair of extra-inning victories extended the White Bear Lake baseball season but the Bears were done after a 4-1 loss to Cretin-Derham Hall on Saturday at CHS Stadium in St. Paul and finished 8-16. The Bears beat CDH 4-3 in the 13th inning with Mack O’Neill and Theo Bartolomeo hustling home on a squeeze bunt in the first round. They lost to Stillwater and its sophomore ace Will Frisch 4-1 in the next round, then stayed alive nipping Roseville Area 5-4 in the ninth with a bases-loaded walk and a walk-off RBI single. The Bears struggled at the plate all season. In the season-ending loss, trailing 4-0, they had some excitement in the sixth as Weston Andress ripped a triple to left-center and scored on a long double to center. Andress also had four hits in the win over CDH. Star pitcher Jack Rogowski (back trou-
ble) was limited to eight innings in the tournament, but the other hurlers kept them in every game. Sam Rick threw five shutout innings and got the win against Cretin-Derham Hall and Trent Schoeberl had a strong outing (six innings, two runs) against Roseville.
Bear tennis notched section upset win and finished 10-5 White Bear Lake tennis upset Centennial 4-3 in Section 4AA before falling in the semifinals to champion Mounds View 7-0 and finishing with a 10-5 record. Seeded fifth, they beat St. Paul Washington 7-0 in sectionals, then nipped No. 4 Centennial (14-5) with Garrett Cain delivering the decisive point in the third set at No. 2 singles. Also winning were Cooper Anderson, Bennett King/James Williams, and Nate Wilke/Charle Sass at No. 3 doubles. Anderson, sophomore No. 1 singles player, placed fourth in section singles with a 2-2 mark and finished 15-5 in the top slot including one doubles loss.

The Bear sophomore emerged as Section 4AA champion with a personal-record 115 feet, 9 inch throw last week at East Ridge. That was one of four gold medals earned by the Bears as they captured the team championship. Fellow sophomore Erika Townley advanced to state in both hurdle races and a relay. “Alexys worked the hardest of our girl throwers,” said Doug Potthoff, who coaches the group. “She’s got a very bright future and wants to become a bigtime thrower … I’m so happy for her to get there as a sophomore and gain some valuable post-season experience.” Guidry, whose previous best was 112-2, nabbed the section gold by four inches over a Roseville girl. “It was just, mainly, a lot of adrenaline. I was strong in the middle of my throw,” said Guidry about her PR. “The main thing for me is bending in the middle.” With Grace Johnson placing sixth (997) with Opeoluwa Olusi seventh (98-10), Potthoff praised the sophomore trio for remarkable improvement this season: Olusi by 41 feet, Guidry by 22 feet and Johnson by 17 feet. Olusi also improved her shot put by six feet this year, placing

Coach Kaity Wightman noted that the Bears were very competitive in most games. “They have done an incredible job coming together as a team and finding ways to win. They are a veteran group that likes to have fun, and that shows out on the field,” she said.

CITY OF VADNAIS HEIGHTS 2016 DRINKING WATER REPORT The City of Vadnais Heights is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2016. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers’ understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources. Source of Water The City of Vadnais Heights provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: four wells ranging from 470 to 495 feet deep, that draw water from the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer. The Minnesota Department of Health has made a determination as to how vulnerable our systems’ source(s) of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 (and press 5) during normal business hours. Also, you can view it on line at www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa. Call City Engineer Mark Graham at 651.204.6050 or email him at mark.graham@cityvadnaisheights.com if you have questions about the City of Vadnais Heights drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water. The City will provide a copy of this report by mail to you at no charge upon request. This entire report is also linked on our City website www.cityvadnaisheights.com. Results of Monitoring No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. Key to abbreviations: MCLG—Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MCL—Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. MRDL—Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level. MRDLG—Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal. AL—Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirement which a water system must follow. 90th Percentile Level—This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level. pCi/l—PicoCuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity). ppm—Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l). ppb—Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (μg/l).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Vadnais Heights is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturallyoccurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturallyoccurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturallyoccurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

Pitch perfect: Sand wedge best choice I would venture to say the average golfer has less confidence in their pitch shot (a sand shot is a version of the pitch) than any other shot in their bag. I think it’s because most people don’t understand the basics Tee Time of the set up and how the sand wedge works. I Betsy believe a sand wedge is Larey by far the best choice because a pitching wedge doesn’t have enough loft or the right bottom of the club for this shot. So let’s start with the set up. In terms of aiming, you set up square to the target line, or slightly closed. The stance is just a little wider than the chip and the feet are parallel. The ball position will be slightly forward of middle. The main thing that will be different in your pitch set up compared to the chip is how you set your shaft at address. The hands are still slightly ahead at address, but the shaft is closer to vertical. You’re hitting the ground with the bounce on the bottom of the club, as opposed to the leading edge. As the distance of your shot gets longer, your stance gets a little wider. Your
weight should be on your left side, with the ball positioned inside your left heel. Your shoulders should be level, and the easiest way to do this is to relax your left elbow at address. Neutral shoulders are critical. Your natural tendency will be to have your left shoulder higher, as it is in your full shots. They have to be level so your spine will be tilting slightly to the left. Your weight should stay on your left side during the entire shot. Like the chip, the right elbow slides back along your side as you pivot back, but you will be adding wrist hinge right away as you slide your arm back. You will need to rotate your forearms during the takeaway in order to set your wrists and hands on the correct plane. And let me be clear on this. The plane is around your body, not “straight back” as many people play. To hit a low running pitch, you turn the back of your left hand down on the takeaway. The left wrist will be cupped at the end of your backswing and will stay bowed throughout the downswing. At impact, the shaft will be vertical to the ground. To hit a higher pitch, you want to release the clubhead early with no forearm rotation. The shaft will be slightly tilted back a little at impact. The palm of your right hand faces up during the entire downswing.
On most simple pitches, you want the hands to finish low with the clubhead finishing up and left. My swing thought is to put the butt of the club in my left pocket. Here’s how this shot differs from other pitch shot methods. Even though your arms are going to get just above your waist, the butt end of the club is not going to travel very far from address. Adding the wrist hinge increases the distance the clubhead travels. The clubhead will be pointing up towards the sky. The downswing starts with the lower body first then the shoulders. The speed of the pivot is what controls the distance. On the downswing, you want to feel the release of your wrists and the clubhead early. The bottom of your swing has already been established by your set up. You will have a slight pivot on the backswing, but it’s important to keep your weight on your left side during the swing. After impact, the elbows fold into the left side (just like the chip) and the clubhead finishes high. The mistake made here is by trying to have too much arm swing. When you start by making a big arm swing with no body turn, you pull the handle of the club more and you lose the feel in your hands. The reason I teach this method, (which I learned from Stan Utley) with the club
coming in more shallow, gives you more room to make a mistake without turning it into a horrible shot. A thin shot isn’t going to skull across the green, and a fat shot will still have the club sliding across the turf instead of digging in. It’s really not that hard to hit a good pitch if you understand the key points: the correct set up is essential, distance is controlled by the size and speed of the pivot, the swing is made by hinging the wrists instead of pulling on the grip end of the club with the arms, and the bounce of your sand wedge gives you the loft you need to hit the ball high. I hope by now you understand that this pitch shot is all about feel. I think this version is a much easier shot to hit consistently, and your misses (if your set up is good and you’re using a sand wedge) are what I call “livable.” Betsy Larey is an LPGA Teaching Professional who has been working wth adults and juniors for over 20 years.

Loon Chronicles II: Next Generation Birchwood photographer Ellen Maas said they had quite the surprise when they went back to check the nest after they thought the eggs had been laid. “To our utter horror, the nest was empty except for a very cranky Red-winged Blackbird that continues to hover on and near the nest. We returned the next morning and found the pair taking turns ‘trying out’ the nest and making improvements. What we thought was egg tending behavior was really just getting the nest ready for the long incubation (28 days) ahead. We are pretty sure that the eggs were laid on May 25, 2017, because the Loon parents have not left the nest since that date. Unfortunately, the blackbird will not leave.”

Speaker proposes eco-reformation at St. Andrews Caring for Creation weekend BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR
MAHTOMEDI — The St. Andrews Lutheran Church Environmental Stewardship Team recently celebrated its 10th annual Caring for Creation weekend by inviting speaker David Rhoads to share his thoughts with the congregation. The stewardship team, also known as the “Green Team,” was formed 10 years ago. It has a mission to “promote the stewardship of God's life-sustaining creation,” according to the St. Andrews website. The team hosts special events over the course of year, such as the Caring for Creation weekend, and also strives to make the church as earth-friendly as possible through saving energy, reducing waste and using environmentally responsible landscaping. The group has also been involved in community projects, such as the wind generator constructed on the Mahtomedi High School campus in 2011. Environmental Stewardship Team co-founder Jim Malowski said the team was aware of Rhoads' environmental message, and tried for several years to get him as a speaker before they met with success. Rhoads is an author and professor emeritus at the Lutheran School in Theology in Chicago, and known for his message about the relationship between religion and environment. He served as guest speaker during several services at St. Andrews, and later hosted a more in-depth forum at the church. During the service, he examined the way the Bible describes the natural
world with vivid imagery. He also noted that all forms of life are related to some degree, even sharing DNA, but humans tend to ignore this close relationship to the world around us. “The rest of creation isn't just window dressing. It's not just backdrop or staging area,” Rhoads said. The statement that humans were given dominion over the earth is sometimes misinterpreted, he explained. “We have sometimes thought of dominion as if it had to do with domination or exploitation, being there for our use or abuse,” he said. “But God was creating human beings last to take care of the garden, to be in God's image as people who would continue to support and live out of this creation and see that all of creation thrived together.” Since this year is the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation, there has been a corresponding movement called the Eco-Reformation. Rhoads said that he believes the environment will come to the forefront of church ministries as congregations change to reflect the times, just as they did during the first Reformation. “Unless the church rises to this occasion, we're not going to be prepared to give leadership, not prepared to show people how it is that we can address these issues, learn from them, grow from them, and be moral and just,” he said. “So the idea is to think comprehensively about a reformation of the church that is as fundamental, foundational (and) comprehensive as the first Reformation.” Rhoads has encountered resistance to his ideas, especially because discussion related to the environment is some-

times described as being “just politics.” “Sometimes I say that it's not political — it's religious, because we are called to love what God loves and cares for,” he said. “I sometimes as a New Testament scholar wonder if Jesus might have said, 'Well, poverty is a political issue so I shouldn't preach good news to the poor. Or, 'Health care is a political issue, so I better stay out of that realm of healing people.' Or for us to say, 'Ecology is a political issue, so I shouldn't be concerned about caring for the world of God's creation around me.' Well, in the end it doesn't even matter what you may think of the ecological state of the world. We're still called to care as Christians for what God has created and entrusted to us.” Rhoads said there should be a guide to help direct churches and other community groups to make a change to care for the earth. He listed four steps to begin this type of work: First, people should educate themselves about the current state of natural spaces, such as the ocean and atmosphere. Second, they should learn about traditions that are already in place, and that congregations can draw upon. Third, community leaders should learn about these things and determine what kinds of activity and behavior would serve the church. Finally, there should be a directive to different institutions of the church, such as seminaries and camps, to make it an important part and provide resources for the rest of the church. Rhoads invited attendees to discuss the ideas he presented, and share with the group. One of the topics was how the effort to care for the planet will transfer to the next generation. Malkowski added his voice to the discussion, presenting what he called “the nature center illustration” to show that the change in ideology may be slow, but it does happen. “Fifty years ago, if you mentioned the word 'nature center,' nobody knew what you even were thinking. There were none!” Malkowski has helped establish and run several nature centers in his career as a naturalist. “Fast forward … every major community has multiple nature centers,” Malkowski said. “I can remember, literally, when it was tough to find three people to stand together and talk about the environment … Look at now, every newspaper, every primary television program has something about the

ecology environment, whether we like it or not. We are making progress, but it's so glacial, so slow, that sometimes we don't feel it. But I guarantee you it happens.” This process is not limited to Lutheran churches alone, he said, but all communities. “The fact that this could be for a Jewish community or a Muslim community doesn't make any difference,” Malkowski said. “It's our globe. It's our nature. So why not just enter it into the formula of worship wherever?” Rhoads and his wife currently lead the organization Greening Greater Racine in Racine, Wisconsin. Though he hopes that people will learn to respect and care for the environment more thoughtfully, he said it's not a guarantee, and people have to be prepared for a darker outcome. “What we do may not work,” Rhoads said. “I think that's the challenge for Christian people. We do it for grace and for love, not because it will work.” The St. Andrews Environmental Stewardship Team meets every third Monday of the month from 7-8:30 p.m. in Sanctuary Room 201. St. Andrews Lutheran Church is located at 900 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi. Learn more at www.standrews.org. Jackie Bussjaeger can be reached at 651-407-1229 or lowdownnews@presspubs.com.
