Big, tall apartment building proposed on Centerville Road BY CONRAD ENGSTROM PRESS INTERN

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — An apartment building is proposed at the corner of County Road F and Centerville Road. A public hearing regarding the building was held at a planning commission meeting June 26. City hall was packed with residents wanting their voices heard on the matter before the proposal goes to the City Council July 17. The proposed apartment building is five stories and 156 units, and features both an underground garage and detached garages, according to city documents. It would have a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom units of various sizes. Rents would range from $1,000 to $2,200 per month depending on size and location. Each unit would have a covered deck. The development proposed by Tyr Development is called Aster Meadow Apartments. Many residents spoke during the public hearing in hopes the proposal would not be approved by the planning commission. Increased traffic and a building that is too big were complaints voiced. “I don’t think it's people not wanting the area developed, but how it's developed and what structure is put there,” one resident said. Gerry Urban, who plans to sell the property to the developer, went to the podium to speak in support of the building and was met with shouts of “crook” from residents in attendance. Urban is the former city administrator, who retired about five years ago. One concern planning commission members had with the proposed plan is the detached garages. As the proposal stands, there are 20 detached garages for apartment residents to park their cars. “It does not really fit our neighborhood or anywhere,” said commission member Evan Cordes. Nevertheless, after the public hearing closed, commission members were still mostly in favor of the apartment building. “There are some problems with the proposal, like the garage and maybe the height, but we have a need for a high-density building because of how much we are growing,” said commission member Curt Cooper. Commission member Linda Bigelbach

Saving manatees one step at a time BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

In the clear water of Florida's Blue Spring State Park, majestic creatures surrounded Wayne Hartley's canoe, surfacing gently to breathe one after another, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh … 36, Hartley said. Only 36 manatees? Weaving around about 300 manatees peacefully floating in the warm spring last January, it was hard to imagine the day Hartley began documenting manatees in the 1980s as a

ranger in the park. At that time, there were only 36 manatees wintering at the spring near Orange City, Florida. This winter, 582 individual manatees were counted, 70 more than the record. Hartley called out the names of manatees from his canoe — “Hello Precious,” he said. “Howie … Ansel … Nick … Sickle … I think the scar looks like a sickle.” Lily’s scar looks like a flower. About 99 percent of the scars are caused SEE MANATEES, PAGE 8A

Little Free Library remembers Estelle A Little Free Library has been installed at Brandlwood Park in White Bear Township by Justin and Elizabeth Bradshaw in memory of their daughter Estelle, who was born still this past January. The Bradshaws hosted a dedication event for the library on Thursday, June 28 that included a ribbon-cutting, a book exchange, and a presentation about Estelle and the importance of reading for all ages. Brandlwood Park was chosen as the Library’s site because that is where Estelle “would have played with her big sister Piper,” said her father. “Adults can now read books while children play, and kids can exchange and share books as they learn to read.” The couple also hope the library

will raise awareness on stillbirth. “One in 160 American pregnancies end in stillbirth, and about 50 percent of stillbirths are at or near term and are otherwise healthy babies like Estelle, who died a day after her due date and shortly before birth,” Elizabeth added. “The stillbirth rate in the United States has not changed in 50 years and some believe that is due to stigma and lack of awareness.” Todd and Tony Bol, the founders of Little Free Library, attended the Bradshaws’ event. They told event-goers that the fi rst library was inspired as a memorial to their mother. Press release SUBMITTED

WASHINGTON COUNTY BRIEFS Washington County plans wheelage tax increase

The Washington County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved increasing the county-wide wheelage tax July 3 to $20 per vehicle starting in January 2019. The wheelage tax is a “user fee,” meaning that those who use the roads pay for the benefit. With the increased tax, the county would have enough money from the wheelage tax to maintain the current roadways in the county, and then be able to use money from the state for road construction and expansion. The tax is collected when license plate tabs are renewed. Proceeds are used for road and bridge repair within the county. More than 60 miles of roads in the county have been improved with wheelage tax revenue since 2007. Beginning in January 2018, counties were given the authority to raise the fee up to $20 per vehicle. Motorcycles, mopeds, trailers, and non-motorized campers are excluded.

The wheelage tax will generate approximately $4.4 million annually, according to a county press release, that all stays in Washington County to improve the road system. Use of the wheelage tax has eliminated the need to raise the property tax to fund pavement preservation on county roads. State and local revenue for road maintenance and improvements has not kept pace with the county’s project needs, and costs are increasing. The revenue from the wheelage tax can be used on any county roadway without restrictions imposed by the state. Travel on county roads continues to increase, up 12.5 percent since 2013. Construction materials costs have increased 22.8 percent since 2009, and labor costs have increased 17 percent.

Orientation for child care providers

Washington County residents interested in becoming a licensed family child care provider in the county may take the

Use the parking on the west side and enter the Government Center, which is at 14949 N. 62nd St. N. Basic information regarding the family child care program and requirements for licensing will be discussed. Attendance is required at one of these meetings before a license can be issued. Call Annie Walton at 651-430-6539 to register. The meeting is free.

Ice Cream Social at Washington County Historic Courthouse

Outdoors on the lush, green grounds of the Washington County Historic Courthouse 5-8 p.m. Thursday, July 19, the Ice Cream Social is a perennial area favorite and the official kick-off to Stillwater’s Lumberjack Days. The ice cream social is free and open to the public. In the event of rain, the event

There will also be the Fantasy Corral Petting Zoo, children’s games and activities, Historic Medallion Hunt medallion sales, the first medallion clue reading, the Architecture exhibit in the Historic Courthouse, and jail tours. Hotdogs and brats, 50-cent root beer floats, doughnuts, and penny candy will be available for purchase. Natural amphitheater seating with plenty of room to spread out blankets and chairs on the Historic Courthouse lawn is also available. The Historic Courthouse is at the corner of Pine and Third streets in Stillwater. For questions, email or call historiccourthouse@co.washington.mn.us or 651-275-7075.

POLITICAL BRIEFS Local candidates ﬁle for f seats

The candidate filing period for state legislative and county commissioner seats closed June 5 for those offices for which a primary was possible. The following people filed for elective office in the Press coverage area: Incumbent Peter Fischer (DFL-Maplewood) will face republican Robert Cardinal, former mayor of Maplewood, for the House District 43A seat. District 43A includes White Bear Lake precincts 3-5, Mahtomedi and Willernie. Fischer is now in his third term. Cardinal ran against Fischer in the 2016 election, getting 45 percent of the vote. Since Matt Dean is not running for re-election, two new candidates face off for District 38B. Republican Patti Anderson, a Dellwood resident, will run against DFLer Ami Wazlawik of White Bear Township. The district includes Dellwood, White Bear Township, White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi. In House District 39B, incumbent Kathy

Lohmer, GOP, who is finishing up her fourth term as a representative, will defend her seat against Shelly Christensen, DFL. District 39B includes Grant. In 38A, incumbent Linda Runbeck, a republican from Circle Pines, is facing DFLer Kevin Fogarty of Centerville. That district includes Hugo and Lino Lakes. Incumbent Jamie Becker-Finn, DFL, District 42B, which includes Gem Lake and Vadnais Heights, will face republican Yele-Mis Yang. Incumbent Stan Karwoski filed to hold the Washington County Commissioner District 2 seat. District 2 is made up of Birchwood, Pine Springs and Willernie, and parts of Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake. Karwoski won the nonpartisan seat in a special election held in 2016 to fill the remainder of the late Ted Bearth’s term. He will face Joe Delaney and Woodbury City Councilwoman

Julie Ohs. The three candidates will be narrowed to two in the Aug. 14 primary. Local offices for which no primary will be held must file for office between July 31 and Aug. 14. Election Day is Nov. 6.

Newspapers threatened

INCE JANUARY, THE cost of newsprint has risen about 30 percent, basically from tariffs, not production costs or raw material costs. With these higher costs, publishers could be forced to raise prices on subscriptions, advertising, reduce staff or sell out. This is a big issue for small community newspapers, as well as large dailies. It came about in an unusual way. A New York hedge fund company purchased North Pacific Paper Company in Washington State last year and began to claim that it faced unfair competition Canadian newsprint manuAbout the from facturers. They went to the U.S. Department of Commerce, which Town has allowed the tariffs to continue Gene Johnson while this whole issue is under investigation. It is interesting how a 250-employee company can have an effect on a U.S. industry of 600,000 employees. To date, nearly 70 percent of newspapers surveyed said they have reduced page count; in other words, fewer stories and less information. There are some bills in Congress, specifically The PRINT Act of 2018, that would suspend the tariffs while the Commerce Department directed the study on the effect it would have on the newspaper industry and report back. An investigative hearing is scheduled for July 17. The cost of newsprint when producing a newspaper is about 12 percent. There are also some projections of newsprint shortages occurring because the five U.S. manufacturers’ paper mills are at capacity. Nearly all of the newsprint used in our community newspapers comes from Canada. We need our Congressional leaders to help us through this dilemma or a lot of public service information provided through local community newspapers will be lost, as well as jobs. FIVE NEWSROOM PEOPLE lost their lives in the Annapolis Capital Gazette shooting. It’s a big threat to the free flow of information. When people get angry with a newspaper, the fi rst thing they want to do is kill the messenger. I have been threatened in my several decades of newspaper experience. It is important to understand the role of a newspaper, which is to report actual information taking place. Somehow our society is becoming more violent. There are many causes, such as Hollywood promoting violence on the big screen, the most popular TV programs centering around crime and violence, and families who are having difficult times raising their children. We need to fi nd more ways to promote civility and respect in our society, which is being done through schools, colleges, seminars, books and mental health programs that are more readily available. The mental health stigma is lessening so people feel more free to be treated and to talk about it. THERE HAS BEEN a lot of money spent in negotiations regarding the solutions to maintain the lake level among the White Bear Lake restoration people and the DNR, at the cost of local government legal fees. To date approximately $700,000 has been spent by the city of White Lake and White Bear Township in this process, without a resolution being reached. All of us are paying for it, some directly and some indirectly with our taxes and water bills. This does not include legal fees among other impacted cities. But you know what? The lake is up so it must be working, or is it the increase in rainfall last year and this year? You decide. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

The future is bright with solar energy

was blessed to grow up on the banks of the Blue Earth River on a small farm in southern Minnesota. Experiencing nature ﬁ rsthand while catching frogs, ﬁshing for bullheads and many other opportunities created a deep and reverent respect for the wonderful natural world God has left in our care. That love led me to seek ways to do what I can to protect nature eventually a Movers and and career teaching others how to care Shakers for creation. Along that path, Jeff Ledermann I have learned that one of the biggest impacts we have on all living things that depend on a healthy earth, including us, are our choices related to energy. Daily headlines about melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels, polluted air, toxic algae in drinking water and oil spills highlight the impacts of our past energy choices. Made up primarily of burning fossil fuels, they have led to a warming earth and changing climate that will have consequences for generations. While the news can be depressing, there is hope and opportunity in our community in the form of solar energy. Minnesota has no coal, oil, or gas, but we have lots of sun. Thirteen billion dollars

leave our state each year to bring us dirty energy according to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, which threatens our clean water, lakes and forests. All that money could be invested locally in clean energy. We have an amazing opportunity in our area to reduce our impact on the environment by supporting solar energy. Community leaders, Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative, Conservation Minnesota and Solar United Neighbors have partnered to create a program for local residents to purchase solar. If you have ever thought about getting solar energy on your rooftop, there has never been a better time. We are coordinating a process in the Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake area for residents and small business owners to purchase solar installations at a reduced price by joining a “solar cooperative.” Our ﬁ rst information meeting was held in Mahtomedi last month and was attended by over 30 area residents. A second meeting will be held at White Bear Lake City Hall council chambers on Thursday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m. When we have at least 30 homeowners or small businesses from the area willing to consider a new solar energy system as a “cooperative,” the nonproﬁt Solar United Neighbors will work with us to put out a collective request for proposals to all solar energy installers in the region. Solar busi-

nesses will then submit their bids in response, likely at a sizable discount since they will have a group of ready and serious customers in the cooperative. A committee of the co-op participants will review and select the installer that best suits their collective needs. The participants will get a reduced price and customized bids on a solar installation. It is not until that time that participants have to make a commitment to purchase. Up to that point, interested homeowners can pursue information obligation-free and can join the cooperative by signing up at www.solarunitedneighbors.org/ mahtomedi. By clicking on the “join our co-op” link and ﬁ lling out the form, you will get an initial free assessment to see if your home or property has enough sun to make it worthwhile. Not only can you take a big step to reduce your impact on the environment with a solar energy system, but you may even save some money. Prices for solar energy have dropped signiﬁcantly over the last few years to the point that most solar rooftop systems have a payback of 10 years or less. I hope you can join this effort, and I hope to see you at our solar cooperative information meeting at White Bear City Hall on July 12. Jeff Ledermann is a co-founder of the Mahtomedi Area Green Initiative and created the Eco Experience at the Minnesota State Fair.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Missing Mi i th the b bull ll rushes h

A thief in the night stole my beauty away from me. In the middle of the night in March, they dug holes in the ice at Matoska boat launch and put Weed B Gon in the lake and killed the beautiful garden that grew in the summertime for spectators like me who watch the birds, frogs and fi sh swim in delight of a wilderness experience. Now it looks like a glass parking lot. The people we trust have stolen my beauty. Another generic-looking lake from the people of the city that we put our trust in. Steve Peterson White Bear Lake

Chip in for bookstore’s rent increase

If the downtown bookstore is truly “precious” to so many community members, Janice Gibbs and like-minded individuals should band together and raise the necessary funds to pay the rent increase. Mr. Conrad is simply trying to get a fair return on his investment and provide for his family. Why should he or any other business person lower their income so that customers of another business can remain happy? I believe the saying that applies here is “Put up or shut up.” Len Lorence White Bear Lake

Expand White Bear’s library hours

The Ramsey County Library Board shows disrespect toward White Bear Library users compared to neighboring suburbs. White Bear Lake and Township have a combined population of about 36,608, yet our library is open less than half the hours per week than Shoreview with a population of 26,838. Maplewood’s population is less than

ours, yett their 55,000 000 more than th th i library lib is open almost three times as many hours per week. Both Maplewood and Shoreview’s libraries are open at 10 a.m. six days a week, compared to three days for White Bear Lake. I frequent downtown and have seen disappointed parents and children turned away from our closed library doors from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. many times. This situation is unsatisfactory and needs to be changed. Kevin Welsh White Bear Township

Tally’s a valuable asset

We don’t live in White Bear Lake, but my wife and I spend a lot of time and money there. In the summer, Tally’s is the main draw. We enjoy the music, but often can’t get a table. Then we go for a walk, with stops at different businesses on different days. Stops include Admiral D’s, Kowalskis, Taco John, Acqua, VFW, liquor store, etc.; and many evenings we walk to downtown White Bear Lake, for dinner or a beverage at Washington Square, The Alchemist, Don Julio’s, etc., etc. I think the city council, in the past, recognized Tally’s as a valuable asset. I hope the current politicians don’t ruin it. Mark and Cindy Schweizer Mahtomedi

Lake Links project begins implementation

About 7,000 pedestrians or bicyclists are killed by cars each year in this country. Tens of thousands suffer disabling injuries. These have occurred in our towns, to people we know. Disproportionately, they are children. Legislative funding for Lake Links projects in both Ramsey and Washington Counties will enable us to begin to separate children from

places. ttraffi ffic att the th mostt dangerous d l Separating cars and trucks from pedestrians and slow bikers (12 mph speed limit) requires a curb or barrier, lateral distance, or elevation change. We also seek to avoid crossing the busy roads that surround White Bear Lake: highways 244, 96 and 61, South Shore Boulevard and Birchwood Road. We will work to prevent removal of significant trees; changes to existing drainage patterns; disruption of traffic; and imposition on neighbors. In most places, the Lake Links route will follow existing streets or be hundreds of feet away from people’s homes. In nearly every location, the route will be on publicly owned land or right of way. Lake Links seeks to minimize visual alterations to our beautiful communities but there can be no improvement without some change. Extensive research offers materials and techniques that can improve safety while mitigating environmental, drainage and neighbor impacts. We thank the community for its nearly universal support. We know that implementing the needed change will create local issues and we welcome the opportunity to discuss those. Please come to our meetings, second Monday of each month, 7 p.m., at 1570 Mahtomedi Ave., or call one of our co-chairs: Steve Wolgamot, 612 209 6121 or Mike Brooks, 262 442 2086. Thank you for your encouragement. We will get this done. Steve Wolgamot Mahtomedi Mike Brooks White Bear Lake

Carrie Donovan Ford Carrie Donovan Ford, 46, died July 6. Visitation 4-7 p.m. Thursday, July 12 at Johnson-Peterson Funeral Home, 2130 Second St., White Bear Lake. Funeral Mass 11 a.m. Friday, July 13 at St. Odilia Catholic Church, 3495 Victoria St. N., Shoreview.

June 28 28, I would that J ld like lik you to t know k th t you not only stole my bike, but you also stole a source of joy and exercise and a belief in our community from me. I love going for bike rides in the summer and you have stolen that joy from me. I also love the community of White Bear and now I have lost trust in others. I hope you needed the bike more than I did, but my guess is you were looking to make a quick buck at the expense of me as I doubt it was for transportation needs. Clearly you were watching and waiting for me to step away so you could quickly snatch it. I am not wealthy nor do I long for material possessions, but I like to have things that bring joy to the every day and my bike was one of those things. I believe in hard work and I spend the money I earn wisely. My bike was one of the few luxuries I allowed myself. I hope the money you earned from the sale of my bike brought you joy and happiness. If it is still in your possession, I would appreciate it if you would return it. No questions asked. Kim Werner White Bear Lake

Announce presence on bike/walking path

I have been walking on Lake Avenue along White Bear Lake since September and noticed that rarely does a bicyclist, jogger or rollerblader say “on your right” or “on your left.” Whether I am by myself or walking with my husband, we hardly ever hear anyone mention their presence when passing. There are many people who have headphones on listening to their music or having a conversation on their phone. Some people may stray from walking straight. Please announce yourself upon passing so there are no accidents. Linda Seymour White Bear Township

White Bear lacrosse coach charged for sending obscene photos to student WHITE BEAR LAKE — A former girls lacrosse coach was charged for sending obscene photos to a student on the boys’ lacrosse team this summer. Amber Joi Cron, 20, of Forest Lake, was charged with a gross misdemeanor June 29 after the student reported the incident to the district athletic director earlier that month, according to court records. The 14-year-old boy alleged that the previous day Cron sent him photos on Snapchat of cleavage and her exposed breast. He said he followed Cron on

Instagram a couple weeks prior because he knew her. He has volunteered to help the managers on the girls’ lacrosse team since he has friends on the team. Cron then added the boy as a friend on Snapchat, he Amber said. For about two weeks, Joi Cron they had sent each other random pictures. When the coach sent him a photo of the bottom of her face and her cleavage,

the boy wasn’t sure how to respond so he sent a photo of his forehead, according to the criminal complaint. When she sent a photo of her exposed breast, he sent another photo of his forehead. She sent another photo of her cleavage. The boy then unfollowed her. She tried to add him back the next day but he didn’t accept her request and reported the incident to the school district. The district contacted White Bear Lake police about the incident and issued a no-contact order against the woman.

Minnesota statute prohibits the distribution of obscene materials, which are defined as something that appeals to a lewd interest in sex. An adult woman sending a topless photo to a 14-yearold boy fits that definition, according to the court document. The maximum sentence for the charge is one year in prison and a $3,000 fine. Cron’s first appearance in court is July 11. Sara Marie Moore

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

Vadnais Heights • A full-size recreational vehicle not reported stolen out of Jackson, Wisconsin, until June 22 was spotted in the Walmart parking lot where it had been since June 20.

Downtown rollover

Minnesota Department of Public Safety Ofﬁce of Traffic Safety (DPS-OTS) coordinates the campaign with more than 300 law enforcement agencies stepping up enforcement efforts through overtime funding provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Since the beginning of 2018, preliminary numbers show 53 speed-related traffic fatalities. In 2017, speed was a contributing factor in 22 percent of single-vehicle crashes. Cost of a speeding violation typically costs a driver more than $110 with court fees for traveling 10 mph over the limit. Fines double for those traveling 20 mph over the limit, and you can lose your license for six months for going 100 mph or more.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS An SUV collided with a parked trailer and rolled over on Banning Avenue near the intersection of Fifth Street July 2 in downtown White Bear Lake. According to witnesses, a female driver heading north on Banning Avenue collided with the fender on the parked trailer owned by a lawn service company, causing the vehicle to flip onto its side. An ambulance was called to the scene, but no serious injuries were reported. The late model Lexus SUV was towed from the scene.

Survey: People love community newspapers A 2018 survey by the National Newspaper Association showed that 90 percent of respondents say their community newspaper informs them. Seventy-three percent of the 1,000 people who responded to the readership survey also value the community newspaper because of the advertisements on local shopping. In addition, 64 percent said they read their community newspaper either online or in print and community newspapers rate as the most popular advertising medium when it comes to making

decisions on what to buy and where to shop. Of the 64 percent who said they read their community newspaper, 74 percent said they look forward to seeing the newspaper in their mailbox to read. Also, 66 percent say they share the local paper with additional people. Respondents also gave a high score to the importance of public notices in a newspapers as a way to keep an eye on what government is doing with taxpayer’s money. This is the first year of the survey, however,

that the TV news edged out newspapers as the most prominent news medium that people rely on. Other sources of news like the internet, social media and radio did not fare too well in the survey. The poll was done for the National Newspaper Association by Susquehanna Polling and Research in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Conrad Engstrom

MANATEES: Unique creatures see slow resurgence over the decades FROM PAGE 1A

by boat propellers. Hartley has a book of about 400 drawings of manatees and their scar patterns — the work of nearly 40 years, first as a park employee and now as a part-time staff member of Save the Manatee Club. Each winter, Hartley identifies new scars or observes how they heal. We slowly glided up the spring run off the St. John’s River. At 72 degrees no matter the air temperature, it creates a warm winter haven for the manatee that can die from cold stress. Mist floated above the spring as it met the cool air. “Phyllis,” Hartley called out. My heart skipped a beat at the heavily scarred gray blob. This was the manatee I had adopted through the Save the Manatee Club adoption program as a child in the 1990s. Seeing her among so many young manatees and knowing she would have been one of few 20 years ago, I was struck by what people can do for wildlife and the environment when they come together in small ways. Publicity from organizations like Save the Manatee Club, plus laws and regulations to protect manatees, have likely helped the manatee bounce back, Hartley said. Every year, the base manatee population wintering at Blue Spring increases. He also sees less scarring. In 1991, there were a total of about 1,200 manatees in Florida, according to a synoptic survey by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. There were about 6,100 manatees counted in the 2018 survey. In 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service downlisted the Florida manatee from endangered to threatened status. However, threats to manatees are still

on the rise, said Blue Spring State Park Services Specialist Darrell Thomas. “One of the biggest threats to manatees are still humans,” he said. People can protect the manatee in Florida by observing boating speed limits and properly disposing of fishing line. It is illegal to feed, water or harass manatees. Watercraft collisions caused 106 of 538 manatee deaths in 2017, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Other human causes accounted for 14 more deaths. Causes of death for 186 were undetermined or

bodies were unrecovered. The rest died of cold stress, natural or perinatal causes. Manatees have no predators but face loss of habitat due to human activity. One of the best ways to protect the manatee from afar is to join advocacy groups like Save the Manatee Club to promote education, legislation, rescue and rehabilitation. One member in Michigan hosts a 5K, which can be run anywhere in the world, as well. About 1,100 people participated virtually in the 5K this spring, which raised $31,000.

A manatee at Blue Spring State Park surfaces to breathe among other manatees.

A virtual Save the Manatee 5K can be run from anywhere in the world. The author participated in a race this spring.

Paul, I thought again about how small acts can make a big difference when people come together. The manatee, once near extinction, will need continued support to increase and maintain its population as long as the earth endures. I took one step at a time and finished the 5K, celebrating the 5,000 increase to the manatee population since 1991 that came about one step at a time. Shortly after race day, I received the news that Phyllis birthed a calf. Phyllis has had at least 18 calves since 1991. She is famous for having twins, a rare occurrence among manatees. Female manatees have a calf every two to five years. They are pregnant for 13 months. I was proud that “my” adopted manatee had brought another manatee into the world. I don’t know what causes a girl from Minnesota to fall in love with a giant gray creature that she has never seen. What I do know is that we are all meant to take care of something on earth, to come together with others in even small ways on whatever strikes your heart — maybe it’s the St. Croix River, the gray wolf, the ash trees or combating a disease that affects your fellow humans. Hartley said he fell in love with manatees while reading a wildlife book as a child. “I was amazed that such an animal exists in my country,” he said. The gentle giant has a snout similar to an elephant’s trunk, with which it clutches seagrass, and its flipper nails that stroll the shallow sea floor remind of an elephant’s toenails. The two creatures are both gentle, majestic and exotic. From the park boardwalk, the Blue Spring manatees gently surfaced to breathe, one after another, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh … 318 were counted that day.

Money infusion helps conservation curriculum stay in school BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The Race2Reduce program in district elementary schools received a $10,000 shot in the arm. A request for funding by H2O for Life, which oversees the program, was granted by the White Bear Lake Conservation District board of directors at its June 19 meeting. The money is coming at a good time since a bill to fund Race2Reduce next year failed to pass the House. “This was an interim year for the state budget and there were other pressing school issues, like security,” according to Judy Onufer, H2O for Life education project manager. Onufer asked the district board for its support to continue the “vital curriculum” on water resource education, which has “impacted 3,000

students” in White Bear Lake. “We are looking for interim money to help the program get through a gap year,” she told the board. Curriculum has been written for a grade six program and the goal, she added, is to fi nish grades 7 and 8 and pre-K. The board’s support will fund the sixth grade pilot program. District board member Scott Costello, White Bear Lake, said the donation is “an appropriate use. Water conservation is a key element with issues we’re dealing with and we should support it for the extent we can.” The water was not budgeted for the education program, but the board felt it could make a contribution at least once from its reserve fund. “Maybe third graders will start to question the long showers their parents take,” Costello added. In other business, the new chair of

the long-defunct Lake Level Resolution Committee, Barton Winter of Birchwood, said his primary task has been to analyze the court case between the DNR and the White Bear Lake Restoration Association. He informed the board he is trying to gather all the court documents in the case but copies are $10 each and he is looking at 25 to 50. Costello questioned why the board would want to “insert itself” in the issue. Mahtomedi representative Geoff Ratte stated he wanted “to stay far away from the lawsuit.” District counsel Alan Kantrud suggested Winter read the judge’s 140-page decision and the USGS research report for background on the legal case. District Chairman Bryan DeSmet, White Bear Township, asked Winter if the committee has met to discuss looking into the lawsuit and Winter said “no. I’m interested in getting

these documents; we have a right to get informed and I need a budget to get them from the court.” Winter added there was “no motivation to do anything when the lake is not down.” Costello suggested going back to the committee to decide what they want to accomplish. In his lake quality report, committee chair Mike Parenteau said the lake “was in good shape.” “The lake level was 923.68 feet after the rain stopped. That is 4.5 inches higher than last year,” he noted. As of June 19, June rainfall was already above average at 4.80 inches. The average is 4.25, according to Parenteau. This year’s milfoil treatment cost about $40,000, which is under budget, he reported. The invasive weed was found 8 to 11 feet below the surface this year so treatment methods went deeper.

Flora and fauna of Vadnais Lake Numerous flora and fauna were spotted along the shores of Vadnais Lake in Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park on a June afternoon. The lake is home to wild iris of the Southern Blueflag variety. The flower is one of two irises native to Minnesota. The Southern Bluefl ag populates the southern part of the state, including the metro. Mushroom varieties grow near the lake. Be sure to have a professional mushroom identifier give the go-ahead before eating any wild mushrooms. Small creatures teem along the shorelines, including snails, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies and beetles. The six-spotted green tiger beetle, often mistaken for emerald ash borer, is native to the area and can be spotted easily in the foliage due to its bright color. Beetles make up 25 percent of all known animal life in the world. Also too far away for the photographer with a mere cell phone, were a white-tailed deer, mallard duck with her ducklings, a wild turkey with her poults and a great white egret. Sara Marie Moore

Loon Chronicles III: Dog Days of Summer The Loons were not easy to find last week. They probably have figured out that the only way to survive the Fourth of July craziness on WBL is to spend time on other nearby lakes or remain in hiding. Early morning remains the best time to spot the Loons while they fish and preen together. With the increased boat activity, they often separated during the day and congregated at sunset. The Eagles are back in full force. We counted four flying above us one morning. The Loons’ tremolo call, sounding the alarm and warning others of approaching Eagles, could be heard all around WBL, just about any time of the day last week. We did see a few close calls with fast boats and jet skis. The Loons dove for their lives and safely popped up on the other side of danger. We still have not spotted any new chicks. it is most likely that this will be another chickless summer. We have not quite given up and will keep looking. We can say for certain, however, that with the elevated lake levels and limited nesting habitat, it looks like the Canada goose population is down from last year. That might not be a bad thing.

Music festival plans encore at Polar Lakes Park BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — LeGrandfest is returning to Polar Lakes Park. The White Bear Town Board approved an agreement during the regular meeting on July 2 to authorize the use of Polar Lakes Park on Aug. 18 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. for LeGrandfest, a music festival focusing on young musicians. The festival was held in the same location last year on Aug. 19, where approximately 100 musicians under the age of 25 performed. “We would love to use the park again for this event,” Festival Director Mitchell LeGrand wrote in a letter to the board. “To us, it is the perfect place to host it. The music sounded great, people had enough space, we were lucky to have perfect weather and a day where everyone was safe and enjoyed themselves.” Vendors and festival team members are generally also under the age of 25 in addition to the musicians. “Last year, the event went very smoothly for our fi rst year,” LeGrand said in the letter. “Especially given the fact the entire event is run by young volunteers. LeGrandfest aims to give young people the lead at the event.” After the closure of a venue that LeGrand and several friends used to perform at, they started LeGrandfest in Vadnais Heights in 2013. The show was held in LeGrand’s backyard and the stage was built out of old pallets. After three

years, it moved to Hugo and in 2017, became a public music festival. In 2017, the event had 16 vendors and saw more than 1,000 attendees throughout the day. Tickets were $15 in advance and $20 at the door. “It was a good event and I heard good compliments about it,” Board Chair Bob Kermes said during the meeting. According to materials provided to the town board, LeGrandfest has 10 goals: • Provide an opportunity for young musicians to perform in front of a large audience • Make that opportunity outdoors • Give young musicians and artists a chance to network • Create an affordable space for young entrepreneurs, organizations and non-profits to set up a tent • Create a large-scale music event north of the metro • Create an event for a diverse audience • Keep ticket prices affordable • Involve community members and organizations • Be run by young adults and students to help them develop profressional skills • Establish a new Minnesota tradition Bands from last year have gone on to play Rock the Garden, sign on to record labels, produce full-length albums and do cross-country tours. “Most important to us, young musicians have recognized us as an event that they are eager to be involved with,” LeGrand said in the letter. More than 100 musicians have applied to take

part in 2018’s festival. Changes from last year include switching dumpster companies, bringing in larger generators, reducing number of musicians and stages to create larger audiences and the addition of a beer garden. In other action at the July 2 meeting, the board: • Authorized preparation of plans and speciﬁcations for stormwater improvements to Bald Eagle Lake in an amount not to exceed $5,800. The funding is coming from a cost share agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District and from the stormwater utility fund. The total estimated project cost, which consists of outfall improvements to the lake, is $74,000, with $35,000 in grant funding from the watershed district. The project is expected to be done by the beginning of 2021. • Considered a proposal to allow a business to place two double-sided billboards at 5858 Centerville Road. No action was taken and the business is going to continue to work on the proposal. • Approved a ﬁ nal position profi le for the clerk-treasurer search. The expected beginning employment date is Nov. 1. • Held an attorney-client meeting for approximately 30 minutes regarding ongoing litigation at 5685 Portland Ave. The board gave staff directions on how to approach the property. The matter will be reviewed at the next board meeting.

LOOKING BACK Week of July 8-14, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1918 Mrs. Powell spent the weekend with her son C. E. Powell, Shady Lane...Fritjof Amundson has secured a layoff and come home for a three weeks vacation...It is strongly surmised that a number of White Bear boys are on the way overseas. We hope by next week to be able to give their names and addresses. 1943 A deal was closed in White Bear Wednesday which makes White Bear’s newest business house a permanent fi xture. On that day, C. S. Arnquist, of Arnquist and Drummond, proprietors of the Daylight Food Market, bought the Matt Hafner store building in which their grocery and meat business is located. Less than a year ago these gentlemen bought the Hafner grocery and right from the start have done a thriving business. 1968 In the City Manager’s Report at the [White Bear Lake] City Council meeting Tuesday evening, Steve Bernard stated that three new police men have been hired for the city. They are Michael Wukawitz, St. Paul; Leland Wenzel, Rapid City, S. Dak; and Keith Peterson of White Bear Lake. Also included in the report was the announcement that next week the city will have a new

telephone system installed which has a switchboard. 1993 The new fi re engine-red 1993 Chevy Blazer seen around town these days belongs to White Bear Lake Fire Chief Tim Vadnais. The $16,000 four-wheel drive vehicle, stocked with emergency medical equipment, replaced the chief’s 1985 Chevrolet Impala. City Manager Mark Sather said the city has been

planning for several years to replace the chief’s car with a vehicle that can be adapted for emergency runs.

70th running of Ordway Handicap A longstanding race tradition on White Bear Lake was held Sunday, July 8 with the 70th running of the Ordway Handicap. The race was won by John Weiss who was sailing in a Laser, one of about 20 different types of sailboats competing on a picture-perfect day. The history of the race goes back to 1948 when John Ordway’s grandmother, Charlotte Ordway, was hosting members of the Garden Club of America from around the country at her house on the lake. “To provide a more beautiful background, she offered a trophy if the sailors from the White Bear Yacht Club would hold a race in front of her house during her party,” according to John. “Unfortunately, it rained that day and the race was not held. Since she had an unused trophy, it was decided to hold

a race on the 4th of July the following year with a picnic at her house afterwards.” Any sailboat is welcome to participate — sailors don’t have to be a member of the White Bear Yacht Club — and the boats are handicapped with the slower boats starting first. “The hope is that several different types of boats arrive at the finish line at the same time providing an exciting finish,” John said. “The race was very popular and has continued every year since 1949. The picnic after the race was dropped about 1968 when my grandparents passed away. My wife, Marla, and I now live on the same piece of property as my grandparents and we have reinstated the picnic the last two years, but moved the race to the Sunday after the 4th of July with the hope of getting more sailboats to participate.” ELLEN MAAS | SUBMITTED

Mahtomedi grad playing for Golden State in NBA Summer League BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Nuni Omot, the first Mahtomedi graduate to play Division I basketball, is getting a chance to move on to the next level — pro basketball. Omot was not taken in the NBA draft on June 21, after completing his college career at Baylor University, but the 6-foot-9, 205-pound power forward is currently playing for the Golden State Warriors’ entry in the NBA Summer League. The Warriors, who happen to be the NBA’s premier team, with three of the last four world championships, signed Omot as a long-shot prospect. He has played five games in the summer league, based in Las Vegas, totaling 20 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 8-for-15, according to NBA.com. The summer Warriors have a 4-1 record. The summer league consists mainly of NBA rookies and sophomores along with G League (the NBA’s minor league) players. Young hopefuls like Omot — compensated only with room, board, travel expenses and a nice per diem, according to some reports — get exposure to NBA and international pro scouts. The White Bear Press featured Omot in May of 2015 when he was playing for Indian Hills Community College in Iowa, a two-year team renowned for sending players on to Division I. Omot had recently signed with Baylor. The main thrust of the 2015 article was to chronicle

Omot’s harrowing life story. He born in a refugee camp in Kenya to a family that fled civil war carnage in their native Ethiopia. He eventually reached the United States, with his mother, Pillow, and brother, Aba, while his father, Kwot, had to stay behind due to a medical condition. Kwot, incidentally, was finally cleared to move to the U.S. in late 2016 and saw his son play basketball for the first time this past February, according to a Waco Tribune article. A late bloomer at Mahtomedi, Omot played JV as a junior but blossomed as a senior, averaging 18 points and six rebounds on an 21-8 Zephyr team. He was 6-5 1/2 and 170 pounds then. Omot played one year for Concordia-St. Paul, after sitting out a season to catch up academically. He had grown to 6-8 and did very well, averaging 12.4 points and 5.5 rebounds. This success prompted him to aim higher, for Division I and then the pros. His instincts proved correct as his transfer to Indian Hills led him to Baylor, in Waco, Texas. Omot, who majored in Health, Kinesiology and Leisure Studies, had a so-so junior season at Baylor, averaging just 11 minutes, 4.0 points and 1.9 rebounds. However, he worked hard on his game, especially on his shooting, between seasons. This winter, he upped his playing time to 23.7 minutes per game, and averaged 9.9 points and 3.6 rebounds for the 19-15 Bears. His shooting improved from .398 overall as a junior to .489 as a senior, and his three-point accuracy jumped from .310 to .433. In a 98-96 loss to Oklahoma, Omot

went 6-for-6 on three’s and totaled 23 points. While Omot was a productive role player at best at Baylor, his three-point shooting and his 7-foot wingspan helped him catch some attention from the NBA. A writer for NBA.com, Chris Dortch, did a pre-draft feature on Omot, listing him as a potential “sleeper” for the draft. Baylor Diehards, a Baylor fan site, reported that Omot worked on his shooting with Baylor director of basketball operations Bill Peterson, a former Milwaukee Bucks assistant. “My shot has improved a lot,” Omot said, in a recent feature in the San Jose Mercury. “I worked on my shot every single day, twice a day and I just continued to get better. I started to focus on mechanics. I never had anyone to really train me.” Omot declined to be interviewed for this story.

On the green: Tips to help your putting I spent last week in St. Augustine, Florida, teaching putting clinics with a good friend and excellent teaching pro. We had players of all skill levels, and it was gratifying to see how Tee Time much progress each person made in a Betsy Larey day-long clinic. The one thing I noticed was the majority of players who needed the most work had the same traits in common. The fi rst was lack of tempo in the stroke. They were either quick, or made a big backswing with a slow (decelerating) forward swing. The second was a lot of body movement during the stroke. When you talk about learning to make a good putting stroke, you need to understand what tempo is all about. Most putting clinics I have attended as a teaching professional have all presented a method, or system, of putting. The one exception was one by Geoff Magnums’ “The Putting Zone”. He talked about using a combination of words to say while putting. I admit I was very skeptical at fi rst, but after trying this I became a believer that this was a great way to learn how to “feel” the putting stroke. Every player we worked with last week said saying these words really helped them understand what feel and tempo should be. Each word is said on the backswing, the next word(s) on the follow through. On an average putt with a level lie, the words are “one potato, one potato”. On an uphill putt its “one potato, smooth” (your forward swing will be longer). On a downhill putt it’s “even, even” (your putting speed will be slower, which will put less spin on the ball at impact). Finally, with a very long putt it’s “one potato, don’t do that,” (which creates a much longer follow through). The other tip that helps on downhill putts is to have a very light grip. I call it dead hands. The lighter the grip, the less spin you have on the ball and the less it will roll. There are two things you should be concerned with when putting:

distance and direction. Of the two, distance is more important. Since the cup is almost three times as wide as the ball, there is room for error in direction. Even with long putts, if you are consistent with your distance, your ball will end up somewhere near the hole. Conversely, your direction is irrelevant if you consistently hit putts too hard or too soft. Amateurs tend to hit putts too soft and leave the ball short. All good putters have a few things in common. First, their putter fits their stance which allows them to set up with their eyes over, or slightly inside the ball target line. The length of the putter has a huge bearing on how you set-up to the ball and what kind of stroke you can put on it. If your putter is too long (the standard putter is 35 inches, way too long for anyone less than 5”10) you will putt with your arms instead of your shoulders. If you haven’t been fitted for a putter I suggest you do so. Next, their putter face stays square to the “putter path” instead of the “target line”. There is a mistaken believe in golf that the putter moves straight back and straight through during the stroke. The perfect putting path travels back and through on a natural arc. In order for this to happen, your hands need to work as a single unit during the stroke. For this reason, I recommend a different grip with the putter. The grip in the full swing is designed to achieve the rotation of the clubface through impact while the putting grip is designed to “quiet” the hands during the stroke. The two most common grips are the reverse overlap and left-hand low. The other common characteristics of good putters are the head stays very steady and the hands are quiet during the stroke (the swing is a pendulum stroke made with the shoulders), while the rest of the body stays still. If you have a hard time staying still, turn your toes and knees inward and lock them. In addition, grip pressure should be on the lighter side and the stroke should be approximately the same length back and through. I am hosting several Women’s Golf Getaways this summer at Grandview Lodge. If you are interested

in joining in or would like details, please email or call me directly for more information. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years. She teaches at Keller Golf Course in

Polocrosse combines best of two sports into one fun game on horseback BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

It’s not quite lacrosse, and it’s not quite polo, but it’s definitely one fun game. The equestrian sport polocrosse is gaining popularity, as Grant resident and horse owner Kristi Gusick can attest. “The difference between polo and polocrosse is the difference between tennis and ping pong,” Gusick explained. “One is in a bigger setting and is more involved, and the other is smaller and easier to get into.” Gusick, along with her 13-year-old daughter Carolyn and other members of the Minnesota Polocrosse Club, participated in a two-day camp, clinic and mini-tournament at a private stable in Afton the weekend of June 22. A clinician from Texas was on site to help the riders improve their game. A polocrosse field is drastically smaller than the space used to play polo, making it easy to have a pickup game just about anywhere. The smaller size of the game also means that fewer horses are needed to play. Teams of three play against each other for a total of six riders on the field. Instead of mallets, the players use lacrosse sticks to toss the ball to each other. “Because the polo field is so long, they have to have several horses because the horses just get tired,” Gusick said. “We only can play one horse per tournament. There’s not as much of a barrier to entry. You generally find in polo what they call patrons or sponsors who will pay for a whole club, whereas we’re all on our own dime, no patrons or sponsors. Just family usually, just normal people and families.” It’s definitely in the family for Gusick—she and her two daughters often play together for fun and practice at home. While Gusick has ridden horses since she was young, it wasn’t until her daughter participated in a polocrosse clinic through her pony club that she began playing the sport. The competitions offer the family a chance to travel together and spend time with their horses at events as far away as Texas, Montana and Alabama. “We have a horse trailer than holds five horses and has sleeping quarters in it. We stay right on the field with our horses,” Gusick said. Riders of any age can participate in this non-juried team sport. The game is extremely popular in Australia, which makes the Australian stock horse one of the most popular polocrosse breeds. This breed is less common in the U.S.,

but the sport is perfect for retired racetrack and polo horses. “Every horse we play with in our family is an off the track thoroughbred,” Gusick said. “They didn’t make it at the racetrack, and there’s hundreds of thoroughbreds that don’t make it and they just get pawned off, so we use them in this sport as their second career.” It’s also a sport that’s easygoing enough for older horses to handle. “It’s a good way to keep horses working because horses like to work, generally speaking,” Gusick said. “They are an animal designed to stay working, so it’s a really good way to keep kids safe, to get on older horses that have been around the block.” A polocrosse “Cheese Curd Challenge” tournament will take place July 20-22 at 1928 250th St., St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. The event is free to spectators. Learn more about the sport of polocrosse and upcoming clinics at http:// mnpolocrosse.com.

Summertime the season of butterﬂies BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

Butterﬂ ies abound in summertime, and it’s impossible to resist the temptation to take a closer look at the brightly colored wings and incredibly detailed patterns of Minnesota’s native species.

Of the more than 170 species of butterﬂies in Minnesota, how do you tell what it is? Here are a few of the most common butterﬂies around Minnesota, with some tips on how to identify them when you encounter them in your gardens or communities this summer.

JACKIE BUSSJAEGER | PRESS PUBLICATIONS WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Eastern Tailed Blue—The tiny eastern tailed blue butterfly is easy to recognize by its diminutive size and dusty light blue color. This species prefers to feed on legumes such as clover, and secretes a substance that is attractive to some ant species. This can cause the ants to protect the butterfly larva from predators.

JACKIE BUSSJAEGER | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Eyed Brown Butterfly—The line of dark brown eyespots that resemble a string of pearls is a dead giveaway for this species. These butterflies are commonly found around marshes, woodlands and woodland edges. Eyed Brown Butterflies become lighter in color as they age.

Monarch—The black-veined, bright orange wings of the monarch are instantly recognizable. These butterflies are famed for their preference for feeding on milkweed, which is a native Minnesota plant. Its bright colors signal its toxicity to predators such as birds.

JACKIE BUSSJAEGER | PRESS PUBLICATIONS JACKIE BUSSJAEGER | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Painted Lady—The painted lady is distinguished by the large eyespots on its hind wings, as well as its dusky orange, black, brown and white color scheme. These butterflies feed on many of Minnesota’s native grassland plants, such as thistle, aster, blazing star, milkweed and many others.

Mourning Cloak—The mourning cloak butterfly appears dull brown with a light-colored fringe when its wings are folded, but when open the upper sides of its wings feature a bright white band around the outer edges with a row of brilliant blue spots. Its top pair of wings appear to be almost the color of a red velvet cupcake. These butterflies prefer to feed on tree sap rather than nectar.

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Tiger Swallowtail—Pictured is a female tiger swallowtail butterfly, which shows dusky blue markings near the bottom of its lower pair of wings. Males do not have this blue coloring. Most adults prefer to feed on nectar from pink and red flowers.

City going green one step at time The city of White Bear Lake is an award winner when it comes to going green. At the League of Minnesota Cities annual conference last month, White Bear Lake was recognized for advancing to a Step 4 city in the GreenStep program. “This recognition shows community members and other cities across Minnesota that the City of White Bear Lake is taking great steps in the direction of energy and resource conservation and innovation,” noted Connie Taillon, who serves as the GreenStep program lead with White Bear Lake. As one of 122 participating cities and tribal nations, White Bear Lake is helping lead the way in sustainably across the state, Taillon said. “The city has worked hard to implement best practices in order to fulfill its sustainability goals.” Actions taken within the program focus on cost savings, energy use reduction, resource conservation, and the encouragement of civic innovation. “This award is a great achievement for White Bear Lake,” said Mayor Jo Emerson. “And by being part of the program, White Bear Lake and our peers are helping to make Minnesota more resilient for the future while also helping our cities thrive economically.” Minnesota GreenStep Cities is a free continuous improvement program based upon 29 best practices that are tailored to Minnesota cities, focus on cost savings and energy use reduction, and encourage civic innovation.

Cryotherapy: Freezing away aches and pains BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS EDITOR

Does stepping into a minus 250-degree Fahrenheit chamber wearing nothing but some mittens and slippers sound appealing? A new business wants to show the Quad area and surrounding communities the benefits that come from cryotherapy. Fit Recovery opens its doors July 14 at 2 South Pine Dr. N in Circle Pines. Owner Keith Moeller, a Blaine resident, opened the business in Ham Lake in March. He plans to close the Ham Lake location once the other location is up and running. He works as the operations manager at the Target Center Life Time. Last spring, Life Time was looking into adding cryotherapy at one of its locations. “We got to talking about the benefits and what it does and I was sold without even getting into one because I just love being able to help people, that’s the main reason why I’m doing this,” Moeller said. “I know a husband who was in tears one day because his wife, who has had chronic pain for 20 years, was able to get on a motorcycle without stopping. They were able to do the things they used to love doing. He got his wife back.” Here’s how cryotherapy works: You enter a cryo chamber wearing a robe, slippers and mittens. Once in the chamber, the robe comes off and liquid nitrogen cools the chamber to temperatures as low as minus 250 degrees. Each session is three minutes long, but some customers choose to do more than one session. “Your brain tells your body that you are in a hypothermic state, so your blood rushes to your organs to protect them because your organs need to remain at 98 degrees. Your veins constrict, your blood pools in that area to keep it warm and as soon as you step out of the unit and warm up naturally, the blood flows back to your extremities,” Moeller explained. “It is fi ltered blood, it is full of nutrients and it’s oxygenated, it triggers things in your brain and your body that flushes out infl ammation. It is kind of euphoric.” Moeller said cryotherapy offers something for everybody. Fit Recovery has clients who range from a 14-year-old athlete who uses cryotherapy to speed up healing to clients in their 70s who use it to reduce symptoms caused by chronic disease. Cryotherapy can be used to ease pain, speed healing, reduce infl ammation, burn calories, improve skin and much more, according to Moeller. It is often used to help with arthritis, anxiety, depression, Fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases. Cryotherapy has gained popularity for its use by athletes. “Cryotherapy helps every single person. You can do anything for three minutes,” he said. Moeller does cryotherapy two to three times a week. He said his sleep and workouts have improved as a result. “I love doing cryo and then working out. I noticed I am not so tight, sore, my oxygen levels are better and it’s a much better experience,” he said. Lexington resident Michelle Koch tried cryotherapy for the fi rst time in April after she agreed to help Moeller with marketing the business. “I fi gured I should try it out myself so I could write about my experiences,” she said. After going three times within 10 days, she noticed the swelling in her foot, which had been going on for over a year, miraculously went away. She now does cryotherapy once a week and said the unexplained swelling has not returned. Lino Lakes resident Kate Selner decided to

CHURCH BRIEF Church resource center receives grant

The St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Community Resource Center in Mahtomedi received a $6,340 grant from Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless. The resource center provides emergency housing for families experiencing homelessness. Funding from Open Your Heart will provide new appliances and dining room furniture for the new emergency shelter in Hugo. The St. Andrew’s Community Resource Center focuses on ending homelessness in the Washington County area. Since its establishment, it has helped over 3,000 families in need, including helping over 550 families transition from homelessness. With these new appliances and dining room furniture, St. Andrew’s Community Resource Center will be able to provide emergency housing for an additional 25 to 40 families each year.

try cryotherapy in hopes that she would sleep better at night. Even though that didn’t happen, she noticed many other benefits. After four sessions, Selner had full range of motion in her shoulder, something she didn’t have before the therapy. She also noticed a reduction in hip pain, knee pain and chronic back pain (from Scoliosis). Selner has also received numerous compliments from her friends about how well her skin looks. “There is not a spot that it hasn’t worked on,” she said. “I am completely sold.” Fit Recovery offers whole body cryotherapy and localized cryotherapy (often utilized for an injury). The business also offers cryo facials — a 10-minute session where a cryo wand gets placed over the person’s scalp, face and neck. It contracts the skin and accelerates microcirculation, which encourages collagen production and helps to detox and rejuvenate the skin. “It closes pores, tightens skin and can help acne and is good for anti-aging,” Moeller said. There is also cryo fat freezing, typically a 30-minute session, which can freeze away unwanted love handles. When asked about the negatives, Moeller said the only thing that could be considered a negative is the cost. The cost ranges from $35 to $45 per session for localized/whole body/ facials and goes up to $150 for cryo fat freezing. There are package options to reduce costs, the more sessions you purchase, the bigger deal you get. For more information, visit http:// fitrecoverymn.com/. Fit Recovery plans a grand opening celebration from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 14, which will feature specials, giveaways and vendors.

Celia Wirth, Computer Support and Repair I have been providing friendly, patient and educational computer assistance in homes and small businesses since 2003. No need to carry your computer into a store, I come to your home or office. I can help you in your home. Enjoy your computer more. Iâ€™ll tune it up and answer all your questions. I can add the new wireless printer, connect your iPad to the internet, and everything in between. Consider giving a gift of my time to your parents. I can make the computer more fun for them too. I am a good option for your office. I can add a new computer to your network or POS, and be the person that calls the ISP or offsite tech support when you donâ€™t want to. I am usually quicker and more affordable than your offsite tech support for those small jobs that you donâ€™t want to do. I can even set up a website for you. Especially for Seniors, I am very patient. I understand that sometimes itâ€™s not easy, even if your kids say it is. I will answer your questions over and over, and I will never make you feel foolish or bad about what you donâ€™t know.

Friend John who owns an inﬂatable party rental business was mentioning (complaining) to me, “Can we please have a weekend where we don’t have rain?” John, all you had to do was ask. This was the ﬁrst weekend since May 26-27 that one of the weekend days didn’t have rain. Okay, it was a bit on the breezy side but otherwise it was a pretty darn nice weekend; sunny, warm and the humidity wasn’t that bad. What’s the latest you’ve planted your vegetable garden? I just planted my tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplant this weekend. I’ve been enjoying tons of raspberries and cherries (from my neighbor).

RELAY

WHITE BEAR LAKE RELAY FOR LIFE

Join Us Friday July 27, 2018 • 6:00pm • WBLAHS South Campus OPENING CEREMONY - 6:30 PM Time to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who’s been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year’s Relay season.

SURVIVOR/CAREGIVER WALK Right after the Opening Ceremony Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. We honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn’t matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.

LUMINARIA CEREMONY - 9:30 PM During this ceremony we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still ﬁghting the disease. It’s a pow-erful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.

CLOSING CEREMONY - 5:45 AM Our closing ceremony is the time to commit to take ac-tion and help lead the ﬁght for a world free from can-cer. It’s a time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.

THE HISTORY OF RELAY One person can make a difference. In May 1985, Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, raising money to help the American Cancer Society with the nation’s biggest health concern: cancer. Gordy spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at the University of Puget Sound. Friends, family, and patients watched and supported him as he walked and ran more than 83.6 miles and raised $27,000 through pledges to help save lives from cancer. As he circled the track, he thought of how he could get others to take part. He envisioned having teams participate in a 24-hour fundraising event. The next year, 19 teams were part of the ﬁrst Relay at the

He helped shape an idea that started as one man walking and running a track and helped turn it into a global event raising over $5 billion to help save lives throughout the world.
