Highway 96 bridge work continues this summer BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
WHITE BEAR LAKE — Work on the Highway 96 bridge project, originally scheduled to be completed last winter, will likely last through the end of August. The bridge was scheduled to be closed this past weekend so crews could apply a chip seal (thin coat of asphalt and rock chips) to the bridge deck surface but the closure was rescheduled due to the windy, cold weather forecasted.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) stated they will announce a new closure date after the Fourth of July. The project was not completed in the winter as planned due to delays in utility work, said Denise Workcuff, metro project public affairs coordinator with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). “Utility work at the retaining wall caused the delay in completion of the SEE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION, PAGE 9A

The Highway 96 bridge will close at some point this summer so the bridge deck can be sealed with asphalt and rock chips. The closure scheduled for last weekend was delayed due to weather.

Spring blooms bring summer fruit BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
Apricots, apples, cherries, berries, kiwi, plums, peaches and pears create a summertime color palette in one Vadnais Heights yard. About 30 years ago, Kent Dahl began planting fruit trees unique to Minnesota as a hobby. Asian pears and Arctic kiwi are among the more exotic fruits he has nurtured over the years. He also has about half a dozen varieties of plums and nearly a dozen varieties of pears and apples. There are also apricot, peach, nectarine and hazelnut trees. There are about half a dozen varieties of cherry trees. “They are hard to grow in Minnesota,” Kent noted. There are also blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and black raspberry patches among the fruit trees. For locals interested in trying their hand at growing fruits uncommon in Minnesota yards, Kent recommends the Alderman plum as a starter. Gardeners will also have to be prepared to deal with animals and bugs, he said. He handpicks plum bugs off his trees and puts fencing around others. Kent has grown some apple trees from seed and also tried his hand successfully at grafting. When one of his apple trees grown from seed blew over in the wind about a decade ago, it began producing SEE BACKYARD ORCHARD, PAGE 9A PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The Town Board voted to recognize the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf with an official proclamation for the work the program does for the township during the regular meeting on June 19. The board heard a presentation from Andrea Kish-Bailey, the food shelf's executive director, on the program and its service to the community. During any given month in 2016, 590 individuals received food and support from the food shelf, of which 57 percent were children and 6 percent were seniors, Kish-Bailey said during the presentation. “The goal is to increase access to healthy food and eliminate barriers which have traditionally made it difficult for low-income families to make the healthy choice the easy choice,” Kish-Bailey said. The White Bear Food Shelf has a variety of programs to assist low-income community members. With the monthly shopping program, residents of the White Bear area can make appointments to shop for regular grocery items. Bonus Fridays, which are open to anyone, provide a wider selection of fresh produce. Kid packs are delivered during the weekends of the school year when students are not able to receive free or reduced school lunches. There are also a number of mobile markets the White Bear Food Shelf runs. “It’s not about numbers and statistics at the food shelf, it’s about names and faces,” Kish-Bailey said. The program, which is in its 40th year, had over 220 volunteers in 2016 with revenue coming from individual donors, area foundations, local churches and civic groups. While many of the programs focus on the food access, the organization has also set up an emergency fund to help residents afford rent, utilities or other basic supplies. “Obviously, you are providing an out-
standing service for the community and you’re in the community here, so it’s a definite benefit for White Bear Township and our neighbors,” Town Board Chair Bob Kermes said. Donations can be cash or fresh produce. The White Bear Food Shelf is located at 1884 Whitaker Street. The organization’s website can be found at www.whitebearfoodshelf.org. Every dollar provides up to eight dollars worth of food, Kish-Bailey said. Donations can also be made during Movies in the Park and Township Days events.

Continuing the spirit of Manitou Days
BY DEVIN WHITCOMB BY CALVIN WEIER
Lucas and his friend Toby were sitting on the edge of a boat with scuba gear on. It was a warm summer day in White Bear Lake. People were getting ready for the Manitou Day's 50th Anniversary. Lucas and Toby were preparing as well, but they were mostly hanging out. It was Lucas’s idea to go scuba diving. He knew a friend named John who had scuba gear and waterproof cameras. He asked John if he could take them on his boat to go scuba diving and he said they could. As they begin to dive, John gave them a warning: “Keep an eye out for otters” and “stay away from any weird creatures.” Lucas started to wonder what he meant by “weird creatures” when Toby dove in. Lucas and John dove in as well. When the bubbles cleared, it was a beautiful sight! The lake was full of fi sh, big and small, with lots and lots of seaweed. John started taking pictures of the landscape. While John was taking photos, Toby saw something move by some rocks. He swam over to investigate. Suddenly, a green creature darted up from the rocks! It grabbed Toby and pulled him upward and upward. When they reached the surface, the creature turned toward Toby so he was facing him. Toby realized that the creature was an octopus. It seemed to look at him affectionately. Lucas and John swam up to see what had happened. They laughed with disbelief when they saw Toby and the octopus. “He must like you” Lucas said. Toby had to agree as the octopus was holding him pretty tight. As John took a picture he said, “You know, you just found the rare White Bear Lake freshwater octopus.” Toby looked at the octopus and smiled. When the octopus fi nally let go, they swam back down to take more pictures and explore more of the lake. When it was time to head for home, Toby waved goodbye to the octopus. The octopus seemed to wave back. As they all walked away, Toby knew he would remember this day for a very long time. Braden Wohlfeil is a sixth grader at Sunrise Park Middle School.

Fifty years! Is it true? Just look at the lake, and watch the loon. Fishing, tubing and playing catch, get your dog and go play fetch! Build a sand castle, swim and run for fi fty years of fun in the sun. Run, fish, and play all day I like to run, fi sh, and play all day. Swim in the morning, and shoot hoops in the evening. Then we watch the game and eat s'mores, while we all give a big shout, “Score!” After that we hit the hay until tomorrow, when we’ll run, fi sh and play all day. Paradise Swimming in the water, as the sand gets hotter. Laying in the sand, feeling like a melting crayon. Looking up at the sun, thinking this is fun. Sitting in the shade, smiling all day. Sitting in between the sea and the land, With a glass of punch in your hand. Tomorrow Tomorrow we’ll laugh, tomorrow we’ll play, again and again throughout the day.
Tomorrow we’ll smile, tomorrow we’ll sweat, and then we’ll swim and get wet. Tomorrow we’ll make shapes out of clouds, and then go to the festival and join the crowd. Tomorrow we’ll have fun. Summer School's out! Let’s have fun because summer has begun. No more homework, no more reading, no more morning meeting! No more writing, no more read aloud, now we can be loud! We can take our shoes off, we can relax, because all that math is in the past. School's out! Let’s have fun, because summer has just begun! Devin Whitcomb is a fi fth grader at Matoska International Elementary.
Almost everyone that lives in the White Bear area knows about Manitou Days, but not everyone knows that Manitou means "spirit" in the Dakota language. The White Bear Chamber of Commerce named it this because they wanted to honor and celebrate our town. In 1967, Manitou Days was born. Now it is a tradition that has continued on to 2017 when we celebrate the 50th anniversary. Since the beginning, the festival has brought the community together using music, food and fun. Events are planned all over White Bear including the lake, schools and many businesses in the downtown area. During Manitou Days there is always a parade. It includes floats, cars and many other things. The medallion hunt is where the city hides a medallion and whoever fi nds it will win $250. I hope it’s me! Manitou Days is important because it unites the town with friendship, compassion, understanding and kindness. I hope that we continue Manitou Days because it brings the community together in these many ways, and that people are willing to volunteer so Manitou Days is possible. Calvin Weier is a fi fth grader at Vadnais Heights Elementary.

Aging parents
I
n many cultures it is a great honor, or even a requirement, to care for elderly parents when they are no longer able to live alone. Today’s ‘Boomer’ generation wants to live independently for as long as possible. When living alone gets to be too much, we have numerous options for assisted living cropping up all over our communities. Few people stay in their home forever but leaving the familiarity of a home you have lived in for decades is highly emotional. Having watched our grandparents go through the process of selling their homes and moving into assisted living, and being Publisher’s somewhat resistant, I think it’s advisable to begin downsizing View or assisted living options even Carter Johnson before you think you’re ready. It seems it would be easier to make the transition from the family home when you’re the one in charge, versus your kids telling you it’s time to move. Or worse, being forced to move from your home due to a tragedy or illness, and not being prepared. As we learned when we moved my wife’s grandmother from Connecticut after grandpa died, you aren’t guaranteed to find the housing you want without advance notice. We are fortunate to have multiple types of senior housing options available locally. For those even thinking about the next step, keep in mind that it doesn’t hurt to go visit a few different options. Many of the senior communities have family-friendly events throughout the year that are open to the public, such as ice cream socials, concerts, art exhibits or breakfast events, which can be a great way to check out different places. Or, simply call for a tour. Many of the people I know who have moved into assisted living situations have found they are happier being free from the burdens of taking care of a yard or cooking. I just hope that I follow my own advice when the time comes for me. Too much stuff It seems one of the biggest hurdles when considering downsizing is what to do with all your stuff. As our grandparents have moved and our parents have attempted to downsize or ‘get organized,’ many of their belongings have made it to our house. Some things are sentimental, and some items are vintage and cool, but a lot of it of it is stuff we just don’t need and will realistically never use. It’s difficult to get rid of stuff that was once important to someone. You feel guilty for not wanting it. We recently discovered that we have seven incomplete sets of dishes and glassware that belonged to various grandparents. They are packed in six large plastic bins which take up valuable space in our basement. The thought in storing them is that our kids might want them someday. Chances are, they won’t. We know this, but we continue to hang on to all of it anyway. That doesn’t even include some of the vintage dishes and glassware we’ve inherited that we do occasionally use, along with our own sets of china and wine glasses that we will probably want to pass down to one of our kids someday. And then they will store it all in bins in their basements. Resale and consignment shops seem to be a good avenue to sell those things that are nice but that you may never use; or on the flip side, to buy items at a reasonable price. Our communities have several shops where you can find (or perhaps part with) such treasures. We also have numerous antique shops with unique items. Perhaps grandma would have liked to know her dishes were being used by someone who appreciates them, rather than sitting in storage in your basement.

What did you unlearn this summer?
S
ummer is here and kids are making the switch from learning in the classroom to learning in other venues — summer camps, family trips, structured activities with friends. Research shows that instilling a love for lifelong learning is key to long-term success for youth. While we focus on these opportunities for kids, summer may also be a great time for “unlearning” opportunities for adults. Rachel Cain, Director of Outpatient Mental Health at Northeast Youth & Family Services says that when we get out of our normal routine and expenew things, Movers and rience we are often more to think Shakers willing differently about ourselves and othJerry ers. This means it Hromatka is a great time to think about unlearning negative beliefs that hold us, our families and our communities back. Cain adds that some of these beliefs we may have learned as children. How many of us believe we’re not athletic, or not good at learning new things because we were told this when we were young? How many of us are wary of others who are not like us because we were taught by an adult that people with different back-
grounds or beliefs were not safe? How we think about ourselves and the world affects what we do to ourselves and the world around us. At Northeast Youth & Family Services, we see effects of negative beliefs every day. Kids who are told they are troublemakers at home or in school are more likely to get into trouble in the community. Youth who are told they’re not smart often don’t try as hard at school. People who are taught to mistrust differences are more likely to fear, and less likely to help, those who don’t look, believe or act like they do. By the time we become adults, these beliefs and behaviors are so ingrained and common that it is easy to forget that they are there. Cain suggests taking some time off this summer to make an inventory of what you believe about yourself and others. A free exercise that helps explore your beliefs can be downloaded at www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-flux/201312/ the-belief-inventory. Cain adds that even an hour alone in a coffee shop can give you time to slow down your mind and ask a few key questions: How do I talk about myself when I’m with other people? Is it in a positive or negative way? If you don’t know the answer, ask a trusted friend to tell you the truth about what they see and hear. Next ask yourself or a friend about how you talk to or about other people, especially those who you don’t agree with or see as different.
Do your words or actions hurt others as well as yourself? These are hard questions, and we might not like all the answers we get. But Cain stresses that it is important to not judge the responses. Get curious instead. Ask yourself — when did I learn this? Why, where or from who did I learn it? What is the damage to me and others if I continue believing this way? Does this way of thinking still serve me well today? After you have made an inventory, pick two negative beliefs to unlearn: one that hurts you and one that hurts others. Consider how much better you and others might feel if you stopped these beliefs and behaviors. The third step can be the hardest — making a change. Cain says be realistic: it won’t happen overnight. Our brains get accustomed to familiar patterns of thinking and doing things. Hanging out with people who demonstrate the beliefs or habits you want to develop, asking a friend to hold you accountable, or seeking professional counseling are three practical and proven ways to help you make the changes you seek. If you hang in there and keep trying, you will be glad you did. Letting go and “unlearning” beliefs and behaviors that hurt ourselves and others benefits everyone — especially the kids who are watching and learning by your example. Jerry Hromatka is executive director of Northeast Youth and Family Services.

Advice on door-to-door salespeople
S
ummer is almost here, and solicitors offering asphalt services, magazine subscriptions and security alarm systems – among other products and services – are likely already making the rounds and may well find their way to your doorstep. Better Business Bureau® of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) urges people to be on the lookout for problematic sales pitches and to have a plan in place when it comes to dealing with door-to-door solicitors. Though many door-to-door salespeople operate ethically and represent reputable companies, there are others who are looking only to make a sale and move on as quickly as possible – leaving customers wondering if they’ll receive the product or service they’ve paid for or if they’ve just been had. BBB offers the following advice on how to handle door-to-door salespeople: Inquire about licensing. Many cities now require door-to-door salespeople to obtain a peddler or solicitor license. Ask the salesperson if they’ve checked in with the city and obtained proper licensing. If you’re unsure if your city requires such a permit, call
your city offices. Ask for identification. A reputable seller will provide you with all the information you request, including a photo ID and a business card. Verify the individMovers and ual and the company. If you are interested in Shakers a product or service, everything in writBetter Business get ing including price, Bureau contract details and all other terms and conditions. Tell the salesperson you will check it out and get back to him or her. Then research the company yourself and contact them directly to verify the salesperson is an employee. Also, be sure to research the company’s BBB Business Profile and customer reviews at bbb.org. Read the contract closely. Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions before signing on the dotted line, and be sure you have a physical address and valid contact information for the company. Don’t be pressured. Watch out for
DEATH NOTICE
high-pressure sales tactics and be aware that anything you sign could construe a contract. Do the math. Paying $30 to $40 per month for magazine subscriptions may not sound like much, but if the contract runs for two years – or longer – charges can add up fast. Make sure you have an idea of what the average subscription costs for any magazine that interests you. Most magazines have detachable postcards inside with some of the lowest rates available. Know your rights. The Federal Trade Commission’s Three-Day Cooling-Off Rule gives the customer three days to cancel purchases over $25 that are made in their home or at a location that is not the seller’s permanent place of business. Along with a receipt, salespeople should also include a completed cancellation form that customers can send to the company to cancel the agreement. By law, the company must give customers a refund within 10 days of receiving the cancellation notice. Stand strong. Be careful about allowing strangers into your home. If you do allow a salesperson inside your home and decide during the presen-

tation that you are not interested in making a purchase, simply ask them to leave. If the salesperson refuses to leave, tell them you will call the police – and follow through if they don’t leave immediately. Steer clear of asphalt firms that say they have leftover asphalt from another job. A classic tactic of less-than-reputable asphalt fi rms is to tell consumers they have extra asphalt leftover from another job and will perform the work for minimal cost. However, professional asphalt contractors know, with great accuracy, how much paving material is needed to complete a project. They rarely have leftover material. It’s also always a good idea to get multiple estimates before choosing any contractor. People who have issues with doorto-door solicitors can fi le a complaint with BBB, as well as with their local law enforcement, and state Attorney General’s offices.

Watch for thieves As cautionary tale for residents regarding safety and security: I noticed four or more different incidents of “theft from vehicle” and “theft of a vehicle” reported on NextDoor.com in the White Bear Lake/Downtown and Bald Eagle/ Bloom Ave/Central Middle School area. Several incidents are also listed on the police reports website. They occurred overnight June 9 and June 10 over the weekend. So many in one night. Theft incidents seem to be on the rise recently; be sure to lock all windows and doors but keep your eyes and ears open. Stephanie Jakoblich White Bear Lake
Don’t be idle! Over the past year or so I have noticed a new phenomenon in parking lots around White Bear Lake. Increasingly, drivers are sitting in their cars with the motor running
despite comfortable temperatures outdoors. In other words, when this is happening, there is no need to run the engine to stay cool or warm. Nearly 100 percent of the time that I observe a car idling in a parking lot, the driver is busy scrolling on a cell phone. Despite what one may believe about carbon emissions and climate change, it is wasteful to burn expensive fuel in this way. The reality is that car emissions pollute the air. My concern is that as mobile technology enables us to create our own worlds of experience, we are becoming increasingly immune to the reality that is happening all around us. This in turn leads to actions that are harmful, such as idling cars for endless periods of time in order to remain entertained by a phone. The sad truth is that as individuals do this, life is passing them by. Open the windows and listen to the birds! Take a short walk and enjoy the season while you wait for someone to return to the car. You will not only reduce your emissions, you will improve your fitness. If it is a health issue, such as seasonal allergies, go inside a store and look at your phone there. But please, unless it is truly essential, turn off your car! We all breathe the same air. The air you pollute today will be breathed by me, or your children, tomorrow. Let’s all take care of our environment. Brenda Sussna White Bear Township
Kudos to Community of Grace Lutheran Church I attended your garage sale for the fi rst time this year. I was impressed. Your parking lot and west side of the church were fi lled with vendors. I’m sure I missed some of them. I got several good bargains. Thank you for your shuttle service, which I took advantage of. What a great idea. Your free lunch was wonderful. I grabbed a hot dog while on the go. Thank you to United Methodist Church for offering free pizza. I didn’t have any, but I saw many people with pizza. Next year I’ll bring more cash. Thank you to the vendor and his family who donated all of their leftover clothing to the White Bear Lake Closet. Many families will benefit from your generosity. Lastly, thank you to the White Bear Police and EMTs for their quick response when my husband hurt his head and had to be transported to the ER. It’s nice to know we can always count on you. Theresa Milligan White Bear Lake
Thanks to local first responders The family of Martha Lange wishes to express their thanks to the White Bear Lake Police, Fire, and Rescue for their quick response to our mother’s medical emergency on May 16 in downtown White Bear Lake. Our family members who were there at the time said the emergency personnel were there quickly
and did an excellent job attending to our mother. We are blessed to have such professional people working our emergency services. Dan Lange White Bear Lake
Crazy people dangerously grab candy at Manitou Parade I watched the parade at the corner of Second Street and Clark. I was aghast at the crowd of people trying to get candy. These people were not just children but grown-ups — parents and grandparents. Moreover, they were dangerously in the road — into the middle of the roadway too close to the floats, bands and cars. I was sitting in a chair by the curb but couldn’t enjoy the parade because of these people running around in the street trying to get candy. I talked with some of the security for the parade, but they said they weren’t authorized to keep people out of the street. Only the police could do that. Policemen were standing around but never tried to control the crazy people. It was bedlam. I will never sit in that area again — maybe not go to the parade unless there is crowd control.

Navigating the airport with autism BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Air travel can be stressful for anyone, but for families of children with autism, it can be so overwhelming that they don’t fly at all. Navigating MSP, a program designed to ease the anxiety associated with an airport visit, offers families a practice run, guiding them through each step of the process, from entering the terminal to fi nding their seats on a plane. The program was developed by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), Fraser, and the Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM). Shelly Lopez, a 20-year White Bear Lake resident, helped develop the program based on a similar effort she saw in Boston. As MAC’s administrative and emergency programs coordinator, Lopez handles all the administrative details. “I wanted to try and ease the stress for families by showing them around the airport and giving them travel tips,” she said. “I believe everyone should have an opportunity to fly.” The program also includes travelers with various cognitive and physical disabilities. Delta pilot Rich Kargel has volunteered with the program since its inception in 2013. As a parent of a child with autism, Kargel shares his own experiences and offers pointers for traveling with somebody on the autism spectrum, including a cheat sheet he calls “Flying with Autism.” Kargel is a 1983 White Bear High School graduate; he lives in Chisago City. During the monthly events, which last about two hours, families practice entering the airport with their luggage, checking in, receiving their boarding pass, going through TSA, going to the gate, checking in with the gate agent, boarding the aircraft, fi nding their seats, stowing their bags and buckling into their seats. The plane stays at the gate; families are on board for about 45 minutes while they practice visiting the restroom, using the overhead lights, hearing the crew and pilot announcements, even going to the cockpit to have their picture taken with the pilot, Kargel explained. “We try to make it as real as possible without moving the airplane back,” he said. Lopez said all airlines at MSP have offered to help, though with its larger presence Delta has more planes available to use. The employees who run the events volunteer their time; many have their own children with disabilities. In addition to helping families, the program is also a valuable training and awareness tool for personnel learning to accommodate people with special needs. Kargel, who has a 16-year-old son with autism, has sound advice for families. “When a child is melting down, it may seem like it’s going on forever when it’s happening and these heads are turning around looking at you, but it’s only five or 10 minutes,” he noted. “You don’t want that five or 10 minutes interrupting a vacation. You don’t want the thought of that

happening to prevent you from taking a dream vacation somewhere to Disneyland or Disney World, or going to visit a grandparent in a faraway state.” A Delta Chairman’s Club honoree in 2016, Kargel offers advice on things to pack, going through security and how to keep the individual busy during the flight. He said his son, who was diagnosed with autism at age two, loves to travel. “We as parents felt we weren’t going to change the way we lived because of the situation,” he said. “I tell parents: don’t let this disability prevent you from doing what you want to do.” Kargel recalled one father who said tearfully that he never thought his family would be able to go anywhere until they went through the program. “Many of them have children who are in their teenage years and they’ve never taken them flying for fear of what would happen up there,” he said. “They leave the program with a lot of hope.” That hope is evident in comments from parents like, “We made it to Disney! We had a wonderful time on our fi rst ‘flying’ vacation in about 20 years! John was perfect on the plane and we think he did well because he knew what to expect.” The monthly events, usually held the fi rst
Saturday, typically draw nine to 12 families. Each family is assigned a volunteer to show them around airport areas that would best help their family, Lopez said. Most of the events are at Terminal 1, but Lopez has given individual family tours at Terminal 2 since the layout there is different. Nearly 1,900 people and 550 families have gone through the program since it started in 2013. Navigating MSP also holds events for 18- to 21-year-old students who are in school district transition programs. The White Bear Lake Area Schools transition program took a tour earlier this month, Lopez said. Tours are also given for service dogs in training. Several service dog training organizations participate in the monthly events, Lopez said. The dogs practice going through security, boarding a plane and visit indoor and outdoor pet relief areas, Lopez said.

Career pathways: Walking hospital halls in a lab coat BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR
ST. PAUL — A woman wearing a long white lab coat opened the door to a freezer set at -80 degrees Celsius at Regions Hospital while a group of White Bear Lake Area High School students peered inside. “I have bones, I have tendons and I have nerves in here,” said Cindy Mjazner, a technical specialist in the hospital’s pathology lab. The donated bones and other body parts were next to bags of blood, plasma and platelets, ready to be given to surgery patients who may need them. Mjazner was busy testing blood samples to determine patients’ blood types. Not far beyond the locked doors of the lab, patients waited patiently in a crisp, quiet surgery center lobby, unaware of the buzz of the lab behind the doors. As students took it all in, tubes of blood whizzed by on a machine resembling a conveyor belt and Petri dishes of body fluid slowly grew bacteria. Dozens of staff in white lab coats dotted the large room as Rosie the robot transferred samples between departments — on one end Ry Rybar analyzed white blood cells for leukemia and lymphoma; on the other end staff quickly shaved body tissues into thin strips to be examined under microscopes. The students were there to see if they would like to study health care and perhaps become coworkers with Rosie someday through a new partnership between HealthPartners and White Bear Lake Area Schools. The students were on day two of a two-week tour of various HealthPartners facilities, including a pharmacy, neurological center and emergency center. The program, in which 13 students participated, was the jumpstart to the district’s health care career pathways program, said Jill Pearson, teaching and learning coordinator. “Our district has been undergoing some intensive work in developing career pathways for students,” Pearson noted. Health care is the last pathway to be launched. Manufacturing and construction pathways began about two years ago and IT started last school year. The district’s career pathways programs were developed in response to the Legislature’s 2013 World’s Best Workforce Bill, Pearson noted. Employers across the state have expressed the need for more skilled workers to fi ll positions and the district is creating tracks that enable students to start such careers right out of high school, or expose them to further study. As part of the health care pathways program, the district is also planning to develop a certified nursing assistant (CNA) program within the next two years, in partnership with Century College. Students would receive college credit but take courses at the high school. Pearson hopes the summer program with HealthPartners will inspire students to take medical courses that have already been offered at the high school for a couple years, including a medical career exploration class and biomedical engineering.

“We are just hoping to excite them about the different possibilities and what those careers might look like,” Pearson said. After the tour of the pathology lab, students said they had greater insight into various health care careers. “I had an idea that I wanted to go into the medical field but I didn’t know what the options were,” said freshman Anna Ryan. She said she learned about jobs in the lab that she didn’t know existed. Sophomore Hteemoo Saw said she is considering being a pediatrician but after taking the tour is also considering working in a medical lab so she can help diagnose patients. “It’s a nice opportunity to see the way things are actually done,” said Lisa Brichacek, health teacher. Pathology lab staff taught the students about various facets of medical testing. The lab analyzes body samples from area HealthPartners clinics as well as its own hospital and emergency room, said Scott Pundsack, technical specialist. Sometimes samples are sent to a central lab in Eden Prairie or to a lab in Utah, he added. In the chemistry section, workers analyze blood samples to test thyroid hormones, glucose and electrolyte levels, and heart-related enzymes, said Patrick Grant, clinical lab scientist. By testing enzymes, they can tell the difference between heart conditions and indigestion, he noted. They also test for diseases like AIDS and hepatitis. In the molecular section, workers test body fluids for bacteria and fungus, said Robert Bergsbaken, technical specialist. Lab workers watch Petri dishes for several days to see if anything grows. The toxicology section can test for about 75
types of drugs, said Nan Whaley, clinical lab scientist. Lab personnel analyze ions for both illegal and prescription drugs. In the cytology section, workers peered precisely at slides of tissue under microscopes. One of their jobs is to help make sure that all cancerous tissue is removed from a patient while they are in surgery, said Lynnette Pineault, lab supervisor. The technicians report back to the pathologist that more tissue should be removed if abnormal cells continue to appear on the microscope. They also check whether cancer has metastasized to the lymph nodes. In the histology section, workers were preparing tissues and organs for microscopic testing. Students saw slices of liver, lung, brain and kidney floating around in plastic bags. Pineault showed students a healthy lung and a lung affected by smoking — it looked like it was covered in black soot. Students also had the opportunity to look at a sample of their own cells under a microscope. Editor’s note: This is part one of a four-part series on the four Career Pathways programs in White Bear Lake Area Schools: construction, health care, IT and manufacturing. Students are participating in programs with local businesses throughout the summer while exploring their future careers. Watch upcoming editions for the next feature.

project,” Workcuff said. “Once we had that delay it was a bit of a domino effect. … Utilities needed to be done before the retaining wall, the roadway and the approach.” Permanent pavement markings still need to be completed as well, Workcuff noted. The bridge will likely be completely fi nished by the end of August, weather permitting, she added.
There were lane closures on the bridge earlier this spring as well. Stay tuned for notifications of closures online at presspubs.com. Details of closures are announced online due to the short notice given by MnDOT. The bridge work was part of a two-year I-35E Goose Lake Road and Highway 96 road resurfacing project. In addition to resurfacing, the work included widening the road, re-decking and
widening the Highway 96 bridge, replacing the I-35E bridges over Goose Lake Road, updating drainage systems, repairing guardrail and constructing a trail.

flat-tasting apples. So, he grafted in several different apple branches. “There are three to four different types of apples on this tree,” Kent said, while standing beneath the tree's limbs. He screwed back together another apple tree that had been split by a fallen tree. “It was a really tasty apple, so I tried to save it,” he noted. Kent has forgotten the name of one of his other apple varieties but it has always been the favorite of those who have tasted his apples. He calls it the “unknown” apple. “People say, 'That's my favorite apple,' and I can't give it a name,” he remarked. After Kent married Susan Dahl in 2012, she started selling the fruit from his trees at local farmers markets. Dahl grew up in Nepal and has a knack for agriculture, Kent said. About two years ago the Dahls also purchased a farm in North Branch to expand their fruit tree endeavor and raise bees, chickens and goats. “We kind of ran out of room,” Kent noted, pointing to a young pear tree smack in the middle of the front yard. They kept their Vadnais Heights house because North Branch is actually a zone 3 area, whereas some zone 4 trees can grow better in Vadnais Heights. “It is five to six degrees cooler up there,” Kent noted. They are growing plums, grapes, strawberries and blackberries in North Branch. “We are trying to do a variety of everything — not a huge amount — because you don't know what is going to sell,” Kent noted. They use only organic spray on their fruit; no pesticides, Kent said. They let the trees cross-pollinate with each other and also let the bees, butterflies, moths and ants do their pollination work. The Dahls harvest the fruit them-

selves with a big ladder and a big stick. “I can't get the ones at the very top,” Kent said. Susan sells at the Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake farmers markets, among others. Berries are generally ripe in June and July, plums in August and pears and apples in September. Susan makes jams out of the excess fruit. She also makes Nepali
chutney using the excess fruit and adds honey or maple syrup as chutney sweeteners. In the spring, she taps maples in Vadnais Heights and makes syrup. Bees pollinate the trees in North Branch and make honey. Susan also keeps 20 goats and 200 chickens at the North Branch farm and sells hormone- and antibiotic-free eggs. The Shoreview Farmers Market

Chickens coming home to roost in Mahtomedi BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER
MAHTOMEDI — With very little squawking about the proposed ordinance, the Mahtomedi City Council unanimously supported allowing chickens within city limits at its June 20 meeting. The approval came at the unanimous recommendation of the city's Environmental Commission, which responded to the interest of city residents. Many communities around Mahtomedi already have chicken ordinances in place. Mahtomedi's new ordinance followed the example of those communities in laying down the rules. First on the list is that roosters are prohibited. Now that the rest of the community knows it can sleep better at night, a few other guidelines were spelled out in the ordinance. The number of chickens on any given property shall not exceed six; slaughter-
ing will not be allowed and a coop of at least 4 square feet will be required. The coop must be at least 5 feet away from any property line; a fence of at least 4 feet in height must encircle the property and the coop must be at least 20 feet away from any adjacent habitable structure. Councilman Richard Brainerd saw some challenges in finding houses in the city's Historic District that were more than 15 feet apart. He pointed out that the city of White Bear Lake has a 50-foot setback. Councilman Joel Schilling made the motion to approve the ordinance, but to change the setback distance from adjacent homes to 30 feet. “I totally want this ordinance and I'm not going to vote for this because 20 feet is fine,” Councilwoman Lael Ramaley responded. Would council settle for 25 feet? Mayor Judson Marshall wondered. Councilman Tim Deans noted, “If we were in Key

West, we wouldn't even have this ordinance, because chickens and roosters run around all over the place there and crow all day long.” In the end, Schilling's amendment to the ordinance was defeated, and council passed the ordinance with the 20-foot setback. During the public hearing, Griffin Avenue resident Judy Auger asked for clarity on a few items, such as raccoons and foxes coming to lurk around neighborhoods, what the fences and coops would look like and whether there would be smell and noise. “I like my peace and quiet, so I'd like to know if I'm going to hear clucking all day,” she said. Juniper Street resident Cara Benson said she planned to start raising chickens as soon as it's legal to do so. She said that during her research she'd learned that chickens usually just peep and cluck all day, except while laying, when they might make a little more noise. “They shouldn't make any more noise than a blue jay or robin,” she said, “and would probably be quieter than most dogs in the neighborhood.” Warren Kramer, a resident of Spruce Street, said he was in favor of chickens. “I like to eat eggs and am excited for the opportunity to get fresh eggs.” Marshall said that back in the day his grandfather had chickens at the edge of Mahtomedi in Lincoln Township and on that same land he later “had some of the best rhubarb in the city.” In other action, the council: • Approved the master partnership contract with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to facilitate payment to MnDOT for miscellaneous services, such as road maintenance or inspections. This agreement will be in effect for five years and may be renewed if both parties agree. • Approved construction pay voucher no. 10 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons in the amount of $19,398.81 for Phase 2 of the Historic District improvements. •Approved construction pay voucher no. 1 to T. A. Schifsky and Sons in the amount of $113,770.27 for CSAH 12 improvements. • Authorized preparation of a feasibility report for the Echo Lake improvement project. • Approved the declaration of certain cable television items as surplus because the city now has high-defi nition cameras to replace regular cameras. • Approved a two-year grant agreement with Washington County to receive $31,756 for the recycling program. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 18 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

What clubs should I carry in my bag this year? Golf manufacturers say people need to buy new clubs every four or five years because of technology advances, but I don’t necessarily agree with that. It’s more important that your clubs are “fit” to you. By that I mean are the shafts the right flex for your swing speed, does the lie angle on Tee Time the irons allow you to stand correctly, and does the length fit your Betsy height. It also depends on what is in your set of clubs. Larey Prior to the early 2000s, a set usually included a low lofted driver, a 3 wood, and 3 iron through sand wedge. Then along came the hybrid club, which replaced a 3 or 4 iron. They are so much easier to hit because they have a lower and deeper center of gravity and they’re shorter than a fairway wood. Plus, the trajectory is much higher than a long iron which allows you to actually hold the green when you hit it. If you watched the Mens U.S. Open last weekend, I’m sure you noticed some of the best shots of the tournament were played with hybrids into those difficult greens. I’ve carried a 3, 4 and a 5 hybrid for many years, and this year I added a 6. They are easier to hit and easier to stop on the green. Tour Edge is making a complete set this year called the Hot Launch. I’ve had a couple of clients who are playing them very successfully. They’re great for people with slower swing speeds who have a hard time getting the ball airborne. As far as fairway woods and drivers, a lot of it is personal preference. I do think that good players can hit 10.5 degree lofted drivers, but the average player would be better served by playing something like a 12 degree. Women and seniors with slower swing speeds might even look at a 14 degree driver.
The average player has a 3 wood in his/her bag. I think 3 woods are as hard to hit as a 3 iron because of the low loft, making it difficult to hit off of the ground. Therefore, I recommend a 4 or 5 wood instead. If you have a hard time hitting your driver off the tee, and many people do, why not tee off with this instead? Confidence is an important part of playing well, and a 4 or 5 wood off the tee gives you a much better chance of fi nding the fairway. Finally, your wedges have more bearing on your score than any other clubs in your bag. And the average golfer has a harder time hitting them successfully. Most of it has to do with set up and understanding what the club is supposed to do. But Calloway and Cleveland golf have fi nally realized the old fashioned “utility wedge” could work well for average to higher handicapped players. Bear in mind, these clubs have been around forever but no one has taken the time to update and market them. Calloway has teamed with Hank Haney to create the Sure Out wedges, available in a 58 and a 64 degree loft. These clubs have a very wide sole which makes shots from the sand and deep rough much easier. Better yet is Clevelands Smart Sole 2.0 wedges. Cleveland worked with Dave Pelz on the design. I like these better because they make two different clubs for different shots. The C wedge is 42 degrees, which acts like the old chippers you used to see. The loft on this club is similar to a 9 iron, so it’s a great choice to play a bump and run pitch shot from the fairway. The reviews have been outstanding, and I can’t wait to try this club out! The S wedge is 58 degrees and acts like a sand/ lob wedge, which makes it the perfect choice from the sand and all those little touch shots around the greens. Both clubs have a similar look (sleek black head) with a wide and forgiving sole.
So if you’re in the market for new clubs, or just looking to add a few new ones to your set, consider fi nding something that actually is designed to work for your game and not the pros. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Teaching Professional who has been working wth adults and juniors for over 20 years. She is the Girls Golf Coach at White Bear Lake and has taught at the PGA Tour Academy in St. Augustine, FL.

New superintendent leads 22 local runners at Grandma’s Marathon BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Atop the list of White Bear Lake residents who finished Grandma’s Marathon is a man about to become one of the community’s most influential leaders, Wayne Kazmierczak. The 46-year-old educator who will take over as superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools on July 1 posted an impressive time of three hours, six minutes and 23 seconds for the 26.2-mile trek from Two Harbors to Duluth on June 13. He placed 319th among 6,441 runners overall, and 13th among 344 in his age/gender group (45-49). “Running has always been an important part of my life, although there are times when I don't get out as much as I would like,� Kazmierczak said. “Every aspect of my life seems to go better when I'm consistently running. I tend to achieve a better work/life balance when I'm committed to a marathon training plan.� There were 22 runners with White Bear Lake addresses who completed Grandma’s. Kazmierczak has run “approximately 30� marathons, with a personal-best of 2:49 at Grandma’s in 1997, while the June 13 run was his fourth-best ever. He posted a 3:20 in February at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and plans to run the Twin Cities or Mankato marathon in the fall. Growing up near the Canadian border in tiny Stephen, Minnesota, best known athletically as a state power in nine-man football, Kazmierczak was a football, basketball and track athlete, and added cross country to football his senior year. He then ran for the University of North Dakota in track and cross country. Earlier in his career, he coached cross country, track and basketball while teaching business education in the Minnetonka school district. “It's so important that children are physically active and that they carry forward some level of physical activity into adulthood,� he stated, when asked about the connection between physical and academic wellness. “Emphasizing this valuable lesson to our students is a

responsibility that we all share along with our dedicated physical education teachers.� Kazmierczak, named in March to succeed the retiring Michael Lovett, was assistant superintendent at Moorhead, and superintendent at Lakeview (near Marshall) prior to arriving at White Bear Lake in 2014, serving as assistant principal for finance and operations. About the new post he’ll officially assume on Saturday, Kazmierczak says he is “truly humbled to have been tapped� and eager to start. “The future is very bright; our population is increasing, we enjoy tremendous support from our communities, we have dedicated employees, and our students can be assured that our focus will continue to be on their well being and on providing opportunities to help them achieve their goals.�
Determan leads Mahtomedi runners at Grandma’s Marathon Michael Determan had the fastest time among 15 Mahtomedi residents who completed Grandma’s Marathon June 17. Determan, 38, made the 26.2-mile run from Two Harbors to Duluth in three hours, ten minutes, 43 seconds, ranking 379th among 6,441 runners, and 46th among 491 in his age/gender group.

Curvy Girls get together in the northeast metro SHERIDAN’S DESCRIPTION OF HER JOURNEY WITH SCOLIOSIS
BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR
STILLWATER — When Sheridan Follis was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 11 and had to wear a corrective brace, it wasn't easy to accept at first. “Once they get the brace, they struggle to keep doing what they were doing before,” said her mother, Kelly Follis. “(Sheridan) was in community theater and played lacrosse, but once she got the brace she started dropping out of things.” The story is familiar to many girls across the nation. According to the National Scoliosis Foundation, 2-3 percent of the U.S. population, or around 7 million individuals, are affected by scoliosis. The Scoliosis Research Society defines it as a sideways curve of the spine at an angle of more than 10 degrees; often the cause is unknown. It is often diagnosed in children and adolescents. Although it affects males and females about equally, the National Scoliosis Foundation reports that it is eight times more likely to progress to a curve requiring treatment in females. Kelly first noticed a problem when she went to hug Sheridan at a family Thanksgiving and found a slight bump on her back. “We saw an orthopedic doctor, and she had a 32-degree curve,” Kelly said. “You couldn't tell other than from the bump. She was looking for help online and came across the Curvy Girl website. She looked for one in Minnesota, and there wasn't one. She called Curvy Girls, connected with them and started the group.” The first Curvy Girls chapter was started in Long Island by Leah Stoltz in 2006. Stoltz, then a middle-schooler, had just been diagnosed with scoliosis and wanted a way to communicate with other girls who were going through the same thing. Sheridan began the Minnesota chapter in 2015, and is still leading it at age 14.

“This is the best part about Curvy Girls, because the whole setup of the meeting is that it's all peer-led,” Kelly said. The condition can affect girls between the ages of 6-21, and people of any age are welcome to join. Currently, the youngest member is 9 years old and the oldest is 15. Sheridan introduced the idea of doing a craft at each meeting, since she noticed it was difficult and a little awkward to sit down and have a serious conversation. While their hands are busy with creative endeavors, the girls' conversation flows more naturally and ranges over a variety of topics, which includes scoliosis, but not exclusively. “It just offers support in a very different way than any typical group would, because it is peer-led and they can meet
with other girls,” Kelly said. “They'll touch on the scoliosis, but in the end they're girls first. It's not all they're about, it doesn't define them.” The craft is different every month; last month the girls made spring wreaths. Around Thanksgiving they created nature-themed centerpieces, and one month they wrote thank-you letters to doctors and other people who have helped them on their journey. Since parents bring their kids, some of them choose to stay for the duration of the meeting, separate from the girls. It becomes a good way for parents to exchange information and learn more about scoliosis, Kelly said. This group is the only chapter in Minnesota, so it draws attendees from across the state. Julianna Clarkson, whose daughter Eve has scoliosis, drives from Golden Valley to Stillwater for the Curvy Girls meeting each month. Eve was diagnosed two years ago at the age of 13. Julianna said her daughter was devastated when she finally had to wear a brace. A brace doesn't cure a curved spine, but it can stop it from getting worse. Unfortunately, the brace has to be worn nearly all the time, and can present problems in day-today activities. “When girls are diagnosed with scoliosis, oftentimes they have to wear a brace, and they can feel very alone and depressed,” Julianna said. “(Joining Curvy Girls) kind of empowered (Eve) and gave her the feeling of inclusion because nobody at her big school in Hopkins wears a brace that she knows of.” After the first meeting, Eve immediately said that she wanted to go back. Though Eve will have to undergo surgical procedures to treat her scoliosis, her motto is “Scars are just tattoos with better stories.” Julianna said that doctors and nurses have been surprised by Eve's confidence and level of knowledge about her treatment, and Julianna credits this to the Curvy Girls group. Even hopes to stay involved with group even after her spinal surgery to support the younger girls. “I think the most important aspect, besides getting help, is feeling like you're not alone,” Julianna said. “You're diagnosed in the most vulnerable and awkward years, and it hits home hard. Some girls … refuse to wear their brace, but when they came to a meeting they became more compliant with what needed to be done because they didn't feel alone.” Julianna also felt that the group had many benefits for her as a parent of a child with scoliosis. “It has allowed me to learn about different options about scoliosis, and answer questions about surgery,” she said. “I had no idea about basic scoliosis terminology because everything's thrown at you at once. Not only from a mental health standpoint, it has been a beautiful experience for my daughter.” Curvy Girls meetings take place the

Sheridan and her brother Sterling Follis, who both have scoliosis.
White Bear Press
www.presspubs.com
“To me, scoliosis didn’t become my whole life, but it did become a large piece of it. In the beginning, I really struggled with the fact that I had it. I felt as if I wasn’t going to be myself anymore because I had to wear a back brace 23 hours a day. It was difficult to wear a brace and do my regular SUBMITTED activities. I found Sheridan in her Curvy it even harder Girls T-shirt. to sleep in the brace, no more curling up with my blanket; instead, I had to sleep on my back or side being propped up with pillows. I really felt at the time like the brace made me who I was, but thankfully today I can say it didn’t. Just because I wear the brace doesn’t make it me, it is just a part of me physically and mentally but the brace won’t be with me forever and my scoliosis will be. I realized I had to look ahead, to the future to see that if I wore the brace the time I needed to wear it, then hopefully it would pay off, one way or another. I chose to wear the back brace and follow doctor’s orders and the brace became my assistant in helping me to keep my spine from continuing to curve as I grew taller. It was hard, but I was able to stick it out with wearing the brace and it’s been over two years. I have reached my full height and the doctor has reduced my hours in a brace to only evenings and through the night. Eventually, I will no longer need the brace but my scoliosis will be with me forever. I started a Curvy Girls group here in Minnesota because there wasn’t one in our state and funny enough I wanted to know that there were girls out there like me. I wanted to see them and not just hear that they existed. I ended up really enjoying the meetings because I was able to see all these girls who were struggling with something I have and I wanted to help them so they too knew that they were not alone. Even now as my bracing is coming to an end I want to continue to lead the Minnesota group because I want to help all the girls who have scoliosis, hear their stories and share how we feel about what is happening with us in our scoliosis journey. Out of everything, though, I am grateful to Leah Stoltz for starting Curvy Girls because without the group I don’t know where I would be now without the support of so many who had come before me.” Sheridan Follis, 14 Stillwater
third Saturday of the month at Family Means in Stillwater, which donates its space for the girls' use. Right now meetings are small, but Kelly and Julianna hope there will be more participants in the future. Girls also have the opportunity to attend the Curvy Girls convention, which Sheridan has attended in the past to get group leadership training and bring more resources back to the meetings. June is Scoliosis Awareness Month. To learn more about Curvy Girls, visit www. curvygirlsscoliosis.com. To learn more about scoliosis and related conditions, visit www.srs.org.

The “Project” consists of (i) refinancing certain conventional loans of the Borrower used to finance the renovation of certain art and science classrooms located on the second floor of the academic wing of the facility leased to the Hill-Murray School, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (the “School”), located at 2625 Larpenteur Ave E in the City of Maplewood, Minnesota (the “Classroom Renovation Project”) and (ii) refunding the City of Maplewood, Minnesota’s outstanding Educational Facilities Revenue Note (Hill-Murray School Project) Series 2010, as amended, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the outstanding principal balance of the $3,300,000 Educational Facilities Revenue Note, Series 2005 (Hill-Murray School Project) issued by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota and certain additional conventional loans procured by the Borrower which were used to finance (a) the acquisition of approximately 40 acres of land which is the current footprint of the School, along with an additional 4 acres of land located at 2625 Larpenteur Avenue East in the City of Maplewood (“Maplewood”), (b) construction and equipping of an athletic facility, and (c) construction and equipping of an auditorium for the School (the “Original Project” and, together with the Classroom Renovation Project, the “Project”). The Project is and will be owned by the Borrower and leased to and operated by the School. The estimated maximum principal amount of the Note to be issued to finance the Project is $5,500,000. The Note, if and when issued, will not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the City or Maplewood, except the Project, and such obligations will not be a charge against the general credit or taxing powers of the City or Maplewood but will be payable from sums to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to a revenue agreement.

Taxes increase to fund county roads
TC H A VE RY SU CC ES SF UL HA
6/28/17
The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners voted last week to increase the wheelage tax by $10 per vehicle to address long-term maintenance needs on its 293-mile county road system. Effective January 1, 2018, motor vehicle owners will pay a $20 annual fee per vehicle registered in Ramsey County with Driver and Vehicle Services. "Earlier in the decade, we faced an ever-growing backlog of county roads in need of maintenance," said County Board chair Victoria Reinhardt. "Since 2014, this funding has allowed our public works department to effectively double its annual maintenance program and catch up on the backlog. Today's action extends this proven program, making our county roads safer and more reliable for individual and commercial drivers." The county has collected $10 per vehicle since 2014. Including the construction season currently underway, wheelage tax revenues of about $4 million per year have allowed Ramsey County Public Works to resurface
an extra 26 miles of Ramsey County roads. Resurfacing involves shearing off the top level of roadway and repaving it smoothly with new asphalt. Less intensive than full reconstruction – and often not even requiring detours – resurfacing extends the life of a road by 8-12 years. In addition, outdated intersections on these roads have been replaced with new, accessible ramps and signals for pedestrians. These additional funds will allow Public Works to keep better pace with the year-after-year road maintenance demands and continue to shift focus to planned upkeep and prevention instead of emergency repairs. Half of the new funds collected will be applied to other features associated with roads that also require maintenance – including signals and traffic control systems, bridge and drainage structures, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, signs and markings, guardrails and retaining walls.

Loon Chronicles II: Next Generation “On May 19, 2017, we had a hunch that the hatch might be early, so we set out at the crack of dawn to see if we were right. When we arrived at the nesting site, we were greeted by the male loon parent who let out a loud yodel, quickly dove underwater and popped up next to his mate and two spanking new and very spunky little chicks next to her. We were right on time! We watched the chicks try to push each other off their mama’s back as they both tried to climb on board. Eventually, mama loon raised her left wing to allow one of the chicks to slide on board and the other soon followed. After a few moments, both chicks snuggled next to each other and mama loon lowered her wing to cover both chicks. As we left, one of the chicks peeked out at us to say goodbye. We suspect that these chicks will keep us very busy this summer. Stay tuned…”

Wildwood Amusement Park is gone but not forgotten BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR
STILLWATER — Though it was an attraction that rang loud in the memory of those lucky enough to visit, there's almost nothing left today of Wildwood Amusement Park, once located on the shore of White Bear Lake. The famed park, known in its heyday for live music, dancing, rides and recreation, was on the western edge of Washington County. Sara Markoe Hanson, director of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, was invited by the Washington County Historical Society to share the park's story at the Warden's House Museum in downtown Stillwater June 11. The presentation was titled “Where exactly was Wildwood Amusement Park?” Hanson said that is one of the top 10 questions the historical society receives. The answer is a bit complicat-
ed, and parts of it are still debated, but the best answer is that the park was on the southernmost side of White Bear Lake, straddling the border between Mahtomedi and Birchwood. Before it was an amusement park, it was “just a park,” Hanson said: full of lawns, trees, picnic tables and a stretch of lakeshore. The area around the park was platted in 1888 by the Chautauqua Assembly, which constructed an immense worship hall. In conjunction with that structure came a hotel, which sparked the flow of tourism that soon began to stream into the White Bear Lake region. “So instead of just people coming from St. Paul for the fun of it to have fun and hang out, people were starting to come out and spend a week, a month, the entire summer season,” Hanson said. “And they would either stay at the hotel, or in tents or rent cottages
around the lake.” The St. Paul and White Bear Railroad built the park in 1889 to encourage use of its new rail line, but it was not deemed successful. Twin City Rapid Transit Company then took over the line and acquired the amusement park in 1898. Exciting new attractions were added in the years following, including new bathhouses, additions to the concert pavilion, new walks and a new stage for the auditorium. A pier was built for access to the steamers, which transported guests to different destinations around the lake. A common rumor is that the boats were later sunk on the lake, which is partly true. “The most reliable information we have says that one of them may have been sunk at the end of the island, in the deepest part of the lake, which is about 100 feet (in depth) when the lake is at its normal level,” Hanson said. “Another one was actually scuttled and
burned outside the Boatworks area, and not much of it is left.” Another one may have been sold and transferred out of town. Somewhere along the way, Wildwood gained a reputation as a “rough” resort, unsafe for women and children. To combat this suggestion, resort workers created a clean new image by literally whitewashing the buildings. One thing guests remembered about the park is that you didn't have to pay a fee to get in. “Unfortunately, once you got in, you had to pay for everything you did,” Hanson said. “Some people swear that the term 'nickel and diming you to death' came from Wildwood.” The rides were some of the most memorable features of the park — the first roller coaster there was small and didn't last long. It was replaced with SEE AMUSEMENT PARK, PAGE 11B

a larger coaster called the Pippin, constructed in 1904. Rumor has it that the Pippin was later moved to Excelsior Amusement Park, and then to ValleyFair. It's true that it was moved to Excelsior, but the coaster was never moved to ValleyFair, Hanson said. Wildwood is also notable as the first park to have a Tilt-A-Whirl. Although the Minnesota State Fair is often credited for this “first” in Minnesota history, Hanson said that the ride debuted at Wildwood in 1926 before it was established at the State Fair the next year. In addition to rides, the park was known for its concerts and dances, held in an elegant hall designed by famed architect Cass Gilbert. Dances were always a formal affair — you paid 10 cents for an afternoon or evening session, and usually there were 12-15 songs played. There was no dancing on Sundays, but plenty of guests showed up for the music-only concerts. The park secured top-notch musicians of the day, including greats such as Fats Waller. Anyone on the lakeshore in a boat at night could see the bright lights from the park and hear the live music floating out over the water. After the stock market crashed, the desire to invest in the streetcar lines faded, and Twin City Rapid Transit moved toward buying bus lines and taxi companies instead. The last streetcar ran along the west side of White Bear Lake in 1932, although the line on the east side kept running into the 50s. The park began its downward slide, though it held on to its

musical concerts to the last. The last full season was in 1937, and then the park began selling off its land and attractions. “Almost nothing remains of Wildwood today, and it's kind of sad,” Hanson said. “But when the water is really, really low, you can actually see a couple of footings from the roller coaster in the yard of one of the properties that's still there.” Many of the items from the park went to Excelsior Amusement Park but others, such as staircases, were
moved into other buildings in the area. Some of these elements of the park probably still exist in the area today, though it's difficult to know exactly where they are. “I firmly believe that parts of Wildwood exist, we just don't know that they've been moved and they've been taken out,” Hanson said.

‘Toughest mile on the planet’ coming to area this summer BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR
About 11,000 people are expected to come through Hugo in July — both spectators and world-class athletes — for the Tough Mudder. This will mark the second year the event has stopped in Hugo. Through a partnership with CBS Sports and Tough Mudder, a new event “The Tough Mudder X” will be filmed in Hugo and aired on TV. “One of the reasons we are so excited to come to Hugo is because it’s going to be the first event ever with the new format created specifically for TV,” said Tough Mudder Inc. Chief Marketing Officer Jerome Hiquet. “It will be an experience for both the participants and the spectators because it is very visual and the obstacles are huge. It is similar to American Ninja Warrior.” Tough Mudder Inc. was founded in 2010 with the launch of the Tough Mudder full event series, which includes 10-12 miles of obstacle courses. Since then, it has grown to be a new sport and lifestyle for people who call themselves “mudders” and consider themselves a part of a “tribe.” “It originally started with 4,000 people and now more than 3 million people have done Tough Mudder around the world. We have mudders in the U.S., Canada, Germany, England and Australia. It’s very much like a global tribe,” Hiquet explained. Tough Mudder Inc. will host more than 130 events worldwide in 2017 in nearly a dozen countries. One stop is Hugo.
FILE | PRESS PUBLICATTIONS
Rookies are required to pass through an obstacle with dangling zappers called “Electroshock Therapy” right before the finish line.
The Tough Mudder X will kick off Friday, July 14. Within the next couple of weeks 200 athletes, who apply online, will be selected by Tough Mudder to compete. “We are looking for the best athletes in the world in different categories. We think that people who do obstacle course racing, Crossfit or track and field will all be good candidates to win,” Hiquet said. “They have to incorporate skill and channel strength and agility.” The Tough Mudder X is a 1-mile course that will combine the physical challenges and mental grit of a traditional Tough Mudder course with the intensity of a timed, functional fitness workout and speedy mile. Elite athletes will be pushed to their limits as they attempt to conquer 10 obstacles including Kong, Everest 2.0, Funky Monkey and The Revolution. The event also includes 10 functional fitness stations (Workout
Zones) in a battle to be the fastest to the finish line. “The obstacles are built and revolve around teamwork; it’s very unlikely that someone will finish an obstacle by themselves,” Hiquet said. “We think we have a strong mix between a unique sports event in a very entertaining format that will be exciting for Hugo and the Twin Cities.” There will be 12 finalists for the males and 12 finalists for the females. Both the male and female winner will not only gain confidence and bragging rights, but also go home a bit richer: the prize is $25,000 each. Twin Cities Gateway Sports Marketing Director Al Stauffacher’s job is to promote events — like the Tough Mudder — to bring in visitors to area hotels. Twin Cities Gateway is the north suburban visitors and tourism bureau
that represents nine cities. “As we try to attract sports events to the area, we are looking at outside-thebox sports. We are trying to expand our horizons in the sport industry to have some events outside of core value sports such as baseball or hockey,” Stauffacher said. “This is a huge event. We are trying to drive more national events into our area.” The Tough Mudder X Finals will air on CBS Sunday, Sept. 3 from 3 to 4 p.m. To see a video of what the Tough Mudder X looks like, view this story online at presspubs.com and follow the link. “The debut of Tough Mudder X, in partnership with CBS Sports, solidifies our commitment to innovation and continued leadership in the sports event world by debuting the ultimate race in sports that will capture all the hottest elements of occupying elite athletes and sports fitness enthusiasts alike,” said co-founder and CEO Will Dean. “... we can think of no better partner than CBS Sports to bring this new sporting event and all of its drama, action and excitement that makes for compelling sports television to millions of viewers and fans across the U.S.” In addition to the Tough Mudder X, there will also be the Tough Mudder Half, Tough Mudder and Mini Mudder July 15-16 at Wild Wings of Oneka, 8349 147th St. N, Hugo. For more information, or to sign up to compete, visit toughmudder.com/events/what-is-tmx. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Community foundation and Lake Links form partnership The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation (GWBLCF) and Lake Links Association have formed a partnership that will enable tax deductible contributions for the association’s efforts to create safe passage for kids, bikes, pedestrians and the disabled around White Bear Lake. The foundation will serve as fiscal sponsor for Lake Links Association and has established a designated fund for the project. Since the foundation is a 501(c) (3) public foundation, donors can receive a tax deduction for any contributions made to the Lake Links Association Fund of the GWBLCF. Funds raised by Lake Links through GWBLCF will be used to ensure that a quality route is completed; to cover expenditures not fundable by governmental units; and to provide amenities needed to make the trail useful and beautiful. “The Lake Links project supports the foundation’s mission of inspiring philanthropy and enriching the lives of people who live in the communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake,” stated Bill Foussard, foundation chair. “We believe this partnership is a natural fit for the foundation and we are excited about its potential to benefit our community.” Under the leadership of co-chairs Steve Wolgamot and Mike Brooks, the Association worked with members of a local state delegation to secure an appropriation of $255,000 from the Minnesota Legislature to fund preliminary engineering along the route and complete a section of the bike-walk path on the west end of the lake. “The community very much appreciates the efforts of Sen. Chuck Wiger and Rep. Peter Fisher to ensure that these funds would be made available,” Wolgamot said. “This is a grassroots project that involves many members of the greater White Bear Lake community. Working together to complete a safe route around the lake, we will make a difference for our children, grandchildren and generations to come.” Individuals or businesses interested in making a
