A boy in the boat: Rower restores single racing shell BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

If you see a rowing shell shortly after dawn on White Bear Lake, chances are good it’s Randy LaFoy. The Birchwood resident moved near the lake years ago to sail, but now relies on zero wind to enjoy a favorite pastime. Surprisingly, LaFoy has never seen another scull — the term for rowing with two oars — on White Bear Lake. “You would think that more people would be doing it. It’s a poetic and romantic kind of boat; a throwback to the Fitzgerald era,” he observed.

The lone one-man rowing shell was built by George Pocock, a British builder famous for his classic racing boats. His cedar shells are said to have set the standard for most of the 20th century in collegiate and Olympic rowing. A shell made by Pocock was used in the 1936 Berlin Olympics by an eightman rowing team from the University of Washington. Their stunning gold medal win in front of Adolf Hitler is celebrated in a book called “The Boys in the Boat” by Daniel James Brown. LaFoy bought his Pocock shell, built in the ‘50s, from a Birchwood neighbor SEE ROWING, PAGE 8A

The Pocock racing shell was completely refurbished by Randy LaFoy, who has been rowing on White Bear Lake for eight years. The long restoration process was often described as “one step forward, two steps back.”

3 fires hit White Bear Lake area within a week BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Paul Chapin of Bald Eagle Lake in White Bear Township creates a shimmering wall of water while skiing in the slalom event during the Greater Midwest Open Saturday, July 8. He was among several local athletes who participated in the event, which returned to Island Lake in Shoreview after a 10-year hiatus. Paul is president of the USA Water Ski Foundation, a past national champion, and has been competing since age 11. See tournament results starting on page 2B.

Three residential fires occurred within the span of a week in the White Bear Lake area recently. A house fire occurred in the 1900 block of Florence Street about 9 p.m. June 26. The two residents were safely evacuated, but the home suffered about $100,000 in damage, said White Bear Lake Police Chief and Interim Fire Chief Julie Swanson. “We don't know the cause of it yet,” Swanson noted. “It may have been electrical. We have had a tough time figuring out the cause.” The fire department was notified through a fire alarm alert while the residents were evacuating, Swanson said. A shed fire occurred four days later in the 2100 block of Regent Drive about midnight. The homeowner reported the blaze and their neighbors tried to extinguish it, Swanson reported. The fire department extinguished the fire, but the shed was destroyed. All occupants of the house

According to Richter, plans are to have a new chief in place in early September, after Labor Day.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Salon opens downtown Longtime hairdressers Heather (Waldoch) Olson and Dena Mielzarek have teamed up to open their own salon. Called Hair Bar, the salon opened July 5 at 2186 Fourth St., Suite B. The quaint space is on the back side of the building formerly occupied by Special Effects, facing the public parking lot on Banning Avenue. Look for the main entrance between Goodthings and Chico's. Both women come from family businesses. Heather's dad is Donald Waldoch of the truck and van conversion business, and Dena's mother owns a salon in Lakeland. The two friends rented chairs at another White Bear salon for 15 years before finding their own location. Seven other hairdressers joined them. The number of salons in White Bear Lake did not deter them, Olson said. “It's like OMG, another salon in White Bear. But we all picked up and moved. All of us are well established. We've been doing hair a long time and all of us have good clientele.” The co-owners are “super happy” with a location they feel is prime. “It's homey and the space turned out to be really cute,” Olson said. The salon is open five days a week; Saturday by appointment. Walk-ins are welcome. Call 651-797-2336 or visit hairbarmn.com.

Soon-to-open swim school offers water safety tips As families head to the lake or pool this summer, it is important for parents and caregivers to be familiar with some basic swim and water safety tips to keep children safe. Experts at the soon-to-open Goldfish Swim School in Oakdale offer five safety tips to share with families: • Any time children are around water, designate a “water watcher” who will avoid cell phones, conversations, magazines and anything else that might distract the adult from watching swimming children every single second. Many children who drown are supervised. Even if there is a lifeguard on duty, you are responsible for your child. • Realize that floaties, noodles and plastic inner

tubes do not protect against drowning. They are created as water toys, not lifesaving devices. Life jackets should be designated as U.S. Coast Guard-approved. • Get swim lessons for yourself or any other caregiver who cannot swim or is afraid of water. • The American Red Cross says that the No. 1 thing parents can do to keep children safer around water is to enroll them in swimming lessons. Swimming is an essential lifesaving skill with numerous physical, mental and intellectual benefits. • Invest in latches, fences and sensors if you own a pool. However, although barriers are essential, they do not replace supervision. Don’t let your guard down because you think there is no

way a toddler could get near the pool. Goldfish Swim School is having a grand opening celebration next month. Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 29, 2:30 to 5 p.m. Located at 7055 10th St. N., Suite 100 in Oakdale, there will be open family swim, arts and crafts, refreshments and more. The event is free and open to the public. Children from 4 months of age to 12 years can take lessons in 30-minute swim classes that provide a 4-to-1 student to teacher ratio. Each week, children build on essential swim and water safety skills in lessons. The year-round, perpetual model ensures that children get lots of practice time in the pool.

Mahtomedi man bikes 200 miles to combat leukemia BY SHEREEN M. PAGE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mahtomedi resident Jim Gausman made it two-thirds of the way to Duluth last month on a journey to combat leukemia. About 12 years ago, he was diagnosed with leukemia unexpectedly. After three trips to the doctor with what Gausman thought was simply a lingering sore throat, the last annoyance in a bout with the flu, a blood test was ordered. Expecting the results from the blood test after the Thanksgiving holiday, Gausman was surprised to receive a phone call from his doctor on Tuesday at 9 in the morning. He recalled the exact words of his doctor: “Whatever you’re doing, drop it and go to the hospital now; you have leukemia.” Gausman, with a white blood cell count of zero, was placed in a positive air pressure isolation chamber and told he would be there for at least a month. The diagnosis was acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. “The next day an oncologist told me that since I was under treatment I had probably a 25 percent chance of living and that the average person lives eight weeks (after diagnosis),” Gausman said. His family's Thanksgiving in 2005 was no longer ordinary. “I started chemo on Thanksgiving Day,” recalled Gausman. Gausman went home to his family just before Christmas for a week, then

back to the hospital for a week of chemo therapy, administered three times a day. This cycle of in and out of the hospital lasted until March, when he had a stem cell transplant. Gausman’s humor about the treatments he received comes through as he describes the stem cell treatment, recalling the ice crystals that flowed through the IV line into his chest. He recalls that he could feel the cold rush as it entered his body. “So, I tell people nowadays if I ever seem really ruthless it’s because I actually do have ice water in my veins,” he said with a laugh. Gausman believes the biggest gift in his life was to have dealt with his own mortality. For the next three years,

Gausman was a physical wreck: the chemo had damaged muscles around his heart. Throughout this time, he longed to connect with other people who had been or were going through what he had endured. Eventually, he connected to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. What he thought was a support group meeting was actually a team and training meeting for endurance athletes who raise money for the Leukemia Society. Gausman had taken long-distance bicycle rides in his 20s. He and a friend biked around Lake Superior and biked from Minnesota to New Orleans. After his experience, it seemed that bike riding was now a way he could raise awareness about the

disease while raising money to fight what almost killed him. In 2010, five years after his diagnosis, he completed his fi rst 100-mile ride. Each year from 2013 to 2016 he rode on a team to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. March 2017 marked 11 years since Gausman’s bone marrow transplant. Last month, his goal was to bicycle 300 miles from the Stillwater Lift Bridge to the Duluth Lift Bridge in one day to raise his ultimate goal of $10,000, sponsored by The House, an outdoor gear retailer in Little Canada, which donated a custom-made fat boy bicycle for a drawing. “Taking off at midnight with only a small light illuminating the way on an impossibly tough journey is exactly what it is like to get a diagnosis of AML. At the beginning you can't even see the hills; all you can do is press on,” Gausman said. “In the end, the relentless cold headwind won this time. I made it 210.2 miles before I started shivering uncontrollably and I had to quit. There are so many cancer patients that make it most of the way, but ultimately succumb. This is why I take on challenges like this. I still have the desire to do 300 miles in a day. But I will need to train harder and plan for better weather preparedness too,” he noted. Gausman is still accepting donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at www.tinyurl.com/LiftBridges2017.

Rockin’ party coming to Polar Lakes Park WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — An ambitious White Bear Lake grad is reserving the whole of Polar Lakes Park for a music festival. Calling it LeGrandFest, Mitchell LeGrand, class of 2014, is organizing the Aug. 19 concert to “provide a platform for young musicians.” Introducing himself as executive director and co-founder of LeGrandfest, LeGrand assured the Town Board at its July 6 meeting that the music will not exceed 86 decibels. “Professionals will be doing the music,” LeGrand said, as well as providing security and traffic control. Alcohol will not be sold and bags/purses will be checked at the entrance to screen for booze and tobacco. Up to 4,000 tickets will be sold for the event, which is featuring 39 bands on four stages from 11 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. LeGrand and his team, including co-founder Luke McCutcheon, have held similar concerts in the past, but on a much smaller scale and on private property. “This is our first public event,” LeGrand said.

The township charges $1 per attendee for exclusive use of the park. Town Board Supervisor Steve Ruzak supported the festival but wanted a condition added to the contract that gave the Ramsey County Sheriff’s office the right to shut it down “should things get out of hand.” LeGrand said he was OK with that addition. The music promoter is also required to provide detailed plans for security, medical care, insurance, trash and other contingencies to the Town attorney. Early-bird tickets are $12 until July 19. Go to legrandfest.wordpress.com to order. In a bit about the festival on the website, it says LeG-

randfest started in 2013 when LeGrand and his high school bandmates found out their booking agency was going out of business. They had just prepared for a show at Station 4 in St. Paul with a full set and new gear, so instead of accepting defeat they held their own show in LeGrand’s White Bear backyard. They invited their friends in bands to come and play and it was a rocking party. Every year the festival has gotten bigger with more people attending, more bands playing, and bigger stages being built, according to the website. This year, the website reads, they are taking the festival out of the backyard and making it a real thing. Debra Neutkens

Storm damage

he Northeast Metro has been a hot spot for storm damage. It has brought in storm chasers from all over the country. This storm has damaged homes, yards, pools, boats and cars just to name a few. Residents just want the damage repaired. With that in mind, residents are strongly encouraged to play it safe. According to a few local insurance agents, people are being pressured to sign contracts with these storm chasers. One agent recommends his clients seek the Department of Labor and Industry website and review the quick tips before hiring a contractor. Another agent said stay with a reputable local contractor who will stand behind the work and guarantee. Do your research, get references Publisher’s and always get multiple bids before View signing with any contractor. Work your insurance agent and don’t Carter Johnson with be snowballed by storm chasers with out-of-state license plates or those who try to use or look like a local company. A locally owned business may take slightly longer to get to your house but it supports local jobs, the local tax base and you will have a better chance to have the contractor warranty work in the future. Summer is finally here It is refreshing to jump in the water at a local swimming beach or take to the swing sets at a local park. This summer I’ve tried to take a lunch hour once a week to do something active and fun with the kids. My current favorite hotspot is a friend’s dock. There’s nothing better than jumping off a dock with your kids. Our friends have a beautiful home and dock system, but they have had a problem with fishing lures stuck in the decking and dock lines. Their inner tubes and floating trampoline have been punctured countless times and their neighbors are having the same problems. It’s a real nuisance when aggressive fishermen cast their lures under private docks, alongside boats and try to bounce it under floating rafts in an effort to pull in a lunker. Unfortunately, the result is that kids get a hook in the foot, arm or back. If you’re fishing along shorelines, be respectful of people’s property. You might be leaving a time bomb on someone’s dock. If you pop an inflatable or otherwise damage something, leave your name and number and pay to have it repaired. I’ve also noticed more glass beer bottles, dogs off leash and pet droppings left behind, and litter at area parks. There are many individuals throughout our communities who do more than their fair share to pick up litter and shoreline debris at neighborhood parks. How nice would it be if all park- and beach-goers would pick up their trash, and maybe even some extra. The best part of summer has begun. We are through our first sunburn and our tolerance is building for mosquitoes. Let’s all do our part to keep our parks safe, clean and family-friendly. Street project Construction is Minnesota’s fifth season. Saturday morning while I was at the office, I was impressed to see our city staff working to coordinate the street project on Bloom Avenue. We are sorry for the inconvenience to our customers who visit the Press and our carriers as they pick up papers to deliver. Although the new curb and sidewalk won’t change the value of our office, the city has a systematic plan for keeping infrastructure updated. I’m shocked that no kids have written their names into the concrete, yet they find their way with spray paint and markers. Vandalism has been an ongoing problem in the business district. It is frustrating and costly to business owners who have spent thousands of dollars cleaning and repainting buildings. These so-called artists continue to damage public and private property with their tags or gang symbols. Vandals are making it difficult for small businesses to keep up. Vandals need to be punished and they need to pay for the repairs. My friends and I had to do that once, and I certainly never thought of doing it again.

2017 session was historically productive

hen Republicans took control of both the House and Senate last fall, our to-do list was pretty lengthy. In fact, much of our agenda was shaped by the lack of progress the last Senate made on big issues like tax relief and reform, funding for roads and bridges, and health care premium relief.

Three-day cooling-off law for contracts

the contract. Under the law, you must send a written request to the address provided by the seller. It is a good idea to send cancellation requests by certiﬁed mail through the United States Postal Service and keep a copy of the request for your records. This will give you proof that your request was timely. After the contract is canMovers & celled, the seller must refund your money within 10 days. Shakers If the Three-Day Lori Swanson Cooling-Off Law applies to a transaction, the ti th seller ll is required to give you notice of your right to cancel in three different forms: an oral explanation; a receipt containing certain information about your right to cancel; and two copies of a completed “Notice of Cancellation” form. Until all three

forms of notice are provided properly, you have a continuing right to cancel the contract that extends beyond three business days. Once the seller provides notice properly, the three business days right to cancel begins to run. The Three-Day Cooling-Off Law does not apply when you buy a vehicle. It also does not cover transactions for less than $25, the sale of insurance or real estate, or sales conducted at a merchant’s normal place of business, like a retail store. Other contracts which may allow a three-day cooling-off period include certain club memberships, reverse mortgages, residential rooﬁng and siding contracts, and agricultural contracts. Other contracts that have various periods of time to cancel may include life insurance policies (10 days), hearing aids (45 days), extended car warranties, credit services, and membership travel. Other types of contracts and transactions may also be subject to a “cooling-off” period for

cancellation. Some contracts may also be deemed void or their terms held inapplicable if you have been defrauded. If you have questions about whether a particular contract or transaction is subject to a “cooling- off” period or cancellation, you may wish to contact a private attorney to discuss your situation. The Attorney General’s Office has a publication entitled “Contract Cooling-Off Periods” with more detailed information about cancellation periods. To request a copy of this publication or to file a complaint, you may contact the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office: Office of Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson 445 Minnesota Street, Suite 1400 St. Paul, MN 55101 (651) 296-3353 or (800) 657-3787 TTY: (651) 297-7206 or (800) 366-4812 www.ag.state.mn.us

While there’s plenty of debate in Congress these days, it’s certainly uplifting when one can point to a senator engaged in something nonpartisan, like Sen. Franken’s “Celebrating the Veteran in My Life” poetry contest for K-12 students. This annual contest, which is a creative way to celebrate both the “Month of the Military Child” and “National Poetry Month,” is in its sixth year. The 2017 winners were

recently honored at an awards ceremony, and their poems are currently on display at Sen. Franken’s St. Paul Senate office. If you’re looking for something substantive to do during July to honor Independence Day beyond the fireworks and picnics, check out these students’ poems at Sen. Franken’s office or website. The student poets’ strong and authentic voices convey their compassion and respect for their loved ones as they honor veterans

onsumers enter into contracts for a variety of products and services. Some consumers mistakenly believe they have a legal right to cancel any contract within a three-day “cooling-off” period. Most contracts do not provide for a “cooling-off” period, however. Instead, the law gives people a legal right to cancel a contract within a “cooling-off” period only in certain speciﬁc situations. One situation in which Minnesota law provides a “cooling-off” period is home solicitation sales. Minnesota’s Home Solicitation Sales Act (Three-Day Cooling-Off Law) applies to the sale, lease, or rental of goods or services primarily for personal or household use, and to improvements to real property — if the transaction is worth more than $25 and occurs in your home or at a place other than the seller’s normal place of business (e.g., motels and convention centers). When a transaction is covered by this law, you have three business days to cancel

Police detective captures alleged Mahtomedi sex trafficker BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

OAKDALE — A Mahtomedi man was arrested June 28 for sex trafficking after a successful sting led by a Woodbury police detective. It all began when Detective Paul Kroshus assisted in arresting Shaun Michael Maubach, 32, June 20 on burglary warrants, according to a criminal complaint. Maubach was arrested at the LaQuinta Inn in Woodbury and was found in possession of methamphetamine and with a 26-year-old woman, according to the complaint. When he was arrested, Maubach stated he had photos of the location of $10,000 worth of methamphetamine and marijuana, according to the complaint. Another detective with the Washington County Drug Task Force examined the phone and also saw pictures indicative of prostitution. Detective Kroshus then obtained a search warrant and examined the phone further. Kroshus found a phone number associated with 15 commercial sex advertisements in the Twin Cities in June, according to the complaint. In addition, Kroshus found more phone numbers allegedly connected to the sex trafficking of the same female in three states. He found more than 100 ads regarding the same woman, the complaint stated.

Kroshus also noticed some of the photos in the commercial sex ads apparently matched those of the woman found with Maubach the night he was arrested for burglary. The day before he was arrested, it appeared she was posted on Backpage.com in Woodbury. Maubach's phone also contained text mes- Shaun sages in which he said he was a “pimp” and Maubach “running 6 girls,” according to the complaint. There were also video recordings of apparent commercial sex customers having sex with trafficking victims. Meanwhile, Maubach had posted bond and been released from jail June 20 after being charged for running from the law. After he was released, Kroshus saw a commercial sex ad on Backpage.com that appeared to be the same woman located in Oakdale, according to the complaint. Kroshus, under cover, began texting the phone number listed and agreed to pay $250 for an hour and gave an address in Oakdale. A surveillance team saw a woman exit a pickup truck and shortly thereafter Kroshus received a text that the woman had arrived, according to the complaint. Kroshus approached the woman with Oakdale Police Detective Ryan Stuart. She was identified by police as

the same woman that was present at LaQuinta Inn in Woodbury June 20. According to the complaint, she admitted she came to the location to have sex in exchange for money and that the money helps pay “their bills.” The woman seemed fearful of Maubach and relieved police intervened, according to the complaint. Maubach was arrested when he returned to the area. He denied trafficking the woman but reportedly admitted he is a “drug dealer” who dates “prostitutes.” Maubach was charged with two counts of felony-level sex trafficking and prostitution. Maubach called his father from jail to have everything “erased” from his accounts before police obtain a search warrant, according to the complaint. Maubach was convicted of felony-level human trafficking in 2009 and has a long criminal record, including several violent crime convictions. His home is located on Long Lake in Mahtomedi. The woman found with Maubach was provided resources from a sex trafficking victim advocate the night he was arrested, said Michelle Okada, Woodbury Public Safety information officer. No further information about the woman was provided. Editor Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

Helmet protects young woman in hit-and-run accident BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

NORTH OAKS — A 26-year-old woman was hit by a driver while riding her bicycle at the intersection of Centerville Road and East Oaks Road July 1. The bicycle rider, of White Bear Township, was thrown over the bike and landed on her head about 2 p.m., said her mother, Marianne Goren. Her helmet had cracks in it after the accident. She believes she was hit by an elderly driver in a tan or gold 4-door sedan exiting North Oaks, Goren noted. Her daughter was hit while in

the crosswalk. “Thankfully, she was wearing a helmet,” Goren said. “She sustained neck, back and shoulder injuries along with several bruises and some bleeding.” The driver has not yet been identified, said Ramsey County Sheriff's Office Sgt. John Eastham, noting he is not able to release details of the incident. Goren said she hopes community members will be able to help identify the driver.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Beware of telephone scam A longtime White Bear Lake resident wants to warn other senior citizens of a telephone scam. A female voice with a foreign accent asked for a certain person. When she asked what it was about, the person on the other end answered it was the insurance company calling about Medicare. After she started asking questions the caller hung up, said the resident, who preferred not to have her name in the paper but wanted readers to know about the attempted scam. She and her husband no longer answer the phone if they don't recognize the number, but this was at 7:20 a.m. so she thought there may have been an emergency. The caller ID read “unknown” when she picked up the phone.

who competed for the U of M rowing club. The 26foot, 7-inch long shell was in rough shape when he acquired it in 2014. It was stored in the loft of Fletcher Driscoll’s Dellwood barn, the location of many a boat restoration project, until last fall when LaFoy moved the boat to his garage and began in earnest to bring the Pocock back to life. After “hundreds of hours” patching cracks, replacing bracing and restoring planking that is 3/32nds of an inch thick, LaFoy finally floated his shell July 3. He even christened it with champagne, he said, but without breaking the bottle. The western cedar beauty is named Arrow, a tribute to Driscoll. The word fletch is what gives an arrow stabilization in flight. LaFoy did not row in college. His interest just evolved from sailing to sculling eight years ago when he borrowed a fiberglass shell. “Some people like bicycling, I prefer rowing,” noted the 60-something LaFoy. “It’s literally the best exercise you can get. You’re pushing with your legs and pulling with your arms while doing sit-ups.” When he’s not on the water, LaFoy is a GPS (Goals Plus Plans Equal Success) Lifeplan coordinator and instructor at Century College. He also serves on the Birchwood City Council and was mayor for eight years. He and wife Mary Westin have lived in the village since 1989. As he was completing his vintage shell project, LaFoy experienced another unexpected twist. When searching online for experts on its restoration, someone from Washington state, answered. It was Steve Chapin, a master boat builder who grew up on Bald Eagle Lake. His parents are Tom Chapin and the late Anzle Chapin. Steve owns Point Hudson Boat Shop in Port Townsend, Washington, and took over producing the Pocock Cedar Racing Single after the fourth-generation company made its last wooden shell in 2003. Chapin happens to be the primary source of infor-

mation on all things pertaining to the Pocock: restoration, hull identification and historical facts. He was invaluable to LaFoy. “Steve was my guru. He knew how to make parts that no one knew how to make,” LaFoy said. “It’s such a small world.” Like a proud papa, LaFoy displayed his boat at the Manitou Days Classic & Vintage Boat Show last month. Voters named it the favorite paddle/rowboat. “One of the neatest things about restoring the Pocock were the friends I made,” noted LaFoy. “People from church, from Birchwood, and a couple people from the A boat crew, helped provide elbow grease for this boat.” His wife is also glad to have the garage back. So for morning people who are up at 5 or 6 a.m. and happen to see a lone rower silently gliding among the loons on White Bear Lake, it’s likely LaFoy working up a sweat. And now you know who it is.

RASH OF FIRES: Free smoke detectors available to residents

home to something on the stove on fi re,” she explained. The homeowner left to get a fi re extinguisher from her neighbors and during that time the fi re spread to the kitchen cabinets and the attic above the kitchen. About $150,000 of damage occurred. The White Bear Lake Fire Department called in Stillwater, Hugo and Vadnais Heights fi re departments to help because Dellwood residents are served by well water, and municipal hydrants are not available, Swanson noted. No residents or fi refighters were injured in any of the three fi res. It is unusual for the area to experience three fi res within a week. “It is just unusual to have three fi res back to back like that,” Swanson said. Fires can be more common when it is dry and windy out and when people use different appliances and go out and about in the summer, she noted.

Swanson has several tips for residents to keep their homes safe: have working smoke alarms and detectors and a fi re extinguisher handy, particularly in the kitchen. It is also important to make sure stoves are off and hot items on the stove are not left unattended, as many fi res start in the kitchen. Swanson also recommends residents not keep anything on top of their stove, recalling a recent incident in a neighboring city where a pet accidentally bumped and turned on a stove. There are also free smoke detectors available from the White Bear Lake Fire Department, Swanson said. Residents can pick them up during the day Monday to Friday at the North Station, 4701 Highway 61 N. For more information, call 651429-8568. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE FROM FIRE: Cooking is the No. 1 cause of home fires. Prevent cooking fires by: • Staying in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling or boiling. • Turning burners off when you leave the kitchen. • Keeping burnable items away from the stove. • Turning pot handles towards the back of the stove so they won’t get bumped.

Loon Chronicles II: Next Generation “The Loon parents have been busy keeping their chicks fed, happy, and safe. Shortly, before sunset, we found both chicks and one of the parents just waking up from a nap. They all looked so sleepy. The next morning, we watched what appeared to be a lesson in preening. The chicks watched intently as their parent groomed and oiled its feathers; a skill that the chicks must soon master. The parents are trying their best to keep an eye on their busy chicks. The high winds and huge waves have been a challenge. The chicks are pretty good about sticking together while their parents are fishing and diving. We have not seen the Loon family in a few days. Hopefully, they will reappear this weekend. Fingers are crossed!”

Heating is the second-leading cause of home fires. Prevent heating fires by: • Keeping anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from ﬁreplaces, wood stoves, portable heaters and radiators. • Turning heaters off or unplugging them when you leave a room or go to bed. • Having your furnace and chimney inspected by a professional each winter and making needed repairs before cool weather sets in. Prevent electrical fires by: • Plugging only one heat-producing appliance into an electrical outlet. Also, never using an extension cord for such appliances, like microwaves, coffee makers and portable heaters. • Using extension cords only temporarily. • Not using frayed or broken cords.

Whales and gales populate mystery series by Vadnais Heights author BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

DELLWOOD — There's something about dense fogs, old ships and ocean spray that evoke an air of mystery — something Vadnais Heights mystery writer Jenifer LeClair couldn't ignore on her sailing voyages off the coast of Maine. LeClair joined sailors at the White Bear Yacht Club June 15 to discuss her Windjammer Mystery Series, and the experiences behind the books' distinctive setting. LeClair fi rst learned about the Maine Windjammer fleet from a newspaper article and was captivated by the idea. The fleet is composed of 15 historic tall ships, which are privately owned. Visitors are invited along for cruises that can last anywhere from overnight to 10 days. LeClair cut the article out of the paper and kept the idea of visiting the fleet in the back of her mind for several years while she raised her family. In 1995, she took a weeklong voyage aboard a boat in Maine's Penobscot Bay. The weather was wonderful and the sailing was smooth, but LeClair noticed that the captain seemed morose. “He said, 'Well, this is all wonderful, but this isn't the real Maine experience. We haven't had any fog, we haven't had any rain.' And I said, 'Well, there's still time.' Lo and

The living conditions aboard are rustic — the boats are constructed completely of wood, and there is no refrigeration. Meals are cooked on an old-fashioned wood stove. “You go to sea for one, two, three weeks sometimes, but you're aboard floating history, which is really amazing,” she said. The seas off the Maine coast are known for unpredictable weather and strong tides; on one trip, the ship was caught in a wild gale and had to return back to harbor. “It was just an amazing experience to be aboard this ship, see it handle those seas and have those experiences,” LeClair said.

Remodeling of island home gets OK BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The owner of the residence at 1 Bald Eagle Island got his wish list granted last week when the Town Board approved requests for setback variances to improve the property. The owner, Nathan Landucci, purchased the island last year from Nick and Jane Van Brunt, who attended a July 6 public hearing about the request. Although they've moved to Hawaii, the couple still have children in the area. The Van Brunts built the island home on Bald Eagle Lake in 1985. Due to the island's narrow width and 75-foot lake setback requirement, variances are needed to make any changes to the home. Landucci plans to change the entryway, convert the single-car garage to two stalls, square out front angled windows and add a two-story terrace.

Public hearings are required when application for setbacks are made. Town Planner Tom Riedesel told supervisors the configurations are different from previous requests in 2014 when a potential buyer planned to build a recording studio on the island. That deal fell through. Town Chair Bob Kermes asked Riedesel if Landucci is asking for less this time STATION GTN 16 around, to which the planNathan Landucci ner replied, “yes.” Landucci, who owns Stillwater-based Landucci Homes, said the changes are an attempt to make the house more usable.

He is changing the main entryway to a split design to make it “more grand” and enlarging the garage. An addition will also be added over an existing terrace on the east side of the home for an audio visual room and other amenities. Supervisor Steve Ruzek observed that the renovations appear “cosmetic to make the home more modern.” Landucci said it was “a fair assumption.” Invasive plant species were also removed from the property with help from a $500 grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District. Landucci said he is trying to make the island more native and plans to hydro-seed a special mix of low fescue and wildflowers. No one else spoke during the public hearing and the Town Board, minus Ed Prudhon who was absent, approved the request for variances. The project should be completed by June 2018.

Career pathways: Operating in the realm of technology BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Surrounded by stacks of hundreds of Chromebooks, a young woman's curly brown hair bounced as she chatted excitedly about working with White Bear Lake Area Schools students on “20 percent projects” — a concept played out at hightech companies that allow employees to work on innovative projects of interest 20 percent of the workweek. Cassie Knutson, an AP (advanced placement) chemistry teacher at White Bear Lake Area High School – South Campus, is also a district digital learning specialist. This summer, she is overseeing a new summer technology program that aligns with the district's new IT (information technology) career pathways program. Every week, Knutson will meet with students who have summer jobs in the district's technology department at the district center and give them the opportunity to work on technology projects of interest. So far, three students have signed up for the free program — two are interested in the intersection of photography and websites and one wants to learn more about video editing. Knutson said she plans to give the students a chance to meet with professional photographers and videographers. The students also have minimum-wage summer jobs in the district's technology department. The student workers manage the thousands of Chromebooks the district has for every student in sixth through 12th grade, said Steve Asper, technology support manager. Every summer, the district keeps the Chromebooks for students and installs updates or replace them if needed. Students unbox new Chromebooks and enroll them — the district has 2,000 new Chromebooks to prepare this summer, to replace worn-out ones. “They are doing real work — something we need to have done,” Asper said. Most of the student workers are also in a school club called Tech Depot, where they offer IT repair and support. The summer job is flexible and a good option for young students who want to make some money or have something to do over the summer, said Mark Garrison, director of technology and innovation. Many of the students got their first job before their older siblings did, he noted. Junior Taylor Rosenow has been working in the tech department during the summer for three years now. She said she had been looking for a job as an

White Bear Lake Area High School 2017 graduate Tony Aguirre sets up district Chromebooks with freshman Brayden Slattery at a summer job in the district’s IT department. Aguirre took the first class in the district’s IT career pathways program last school year and also took IT classes at Century College.

eighth-grader when she heard about the position. “It was just a cool opportunity I had been looking for awhile,” she noted. 2017 graduate Tony Aguirre was working in the department for the first time this summer; he studied IT at Century College as a PSEO (post-secondary enrollment option) student his senior year and received an IT certificate. He also took the IT explorations class at South Campus as part of the new IT career pathways program. Aguirre said he is still deciding what he

would like to do in the fall. “I like tearing things apart and IT helped with that,” he noted. The IT career pathway program launched last school year with one course. This year, three will be offered at South Campus — the IT explorations class as well as two new courses, including programming fundamentals, that will also give students college credit through Century College. “We have grown so that next year students can participate in up to three classes,” Pearson noted. One of the goals in the IT pathway is to increase female participation, Pearson said. The district hosted several “lunch and learn” events last school year, reaching out to girls interested in IT. There is now increased female enrollment for next school year — 20 percent of students enrolled are girls as compared to 4 percent last year. Twenty-five total students enrolled the first year and 70 are enrolled for next year. The IT career pathways program is one of four career pathways developed by the district in response to the Legislature's 2013 World's Best Workforce Bill, said Jill Pearson, teaching and learning coordinator. The manufacturing career pathway and construction career pathway began two years ago. IT launched at the beginning of last school year. Health care launched this summer. There are lots of career opportunities within the IT field, Garrison noted. “Every company is an IT company,” he remarked. “There is always going to be work for people who go into this.” Options are plentiful, Asper added, including hardware repair, software manufacturing, networking, account management and the coding industry, which does not have enough workers to meet demands right now. Editor's note: This is part three 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.

HEALTH TRENDS Cara is married with two pre-teen children. Her partner of ten years surprises her one Saturday morning by announcing he is moving out, and wants to have access to the children but will only pay $40 a month in support because “your parents can help.” A week later after the initial shock has settled Cara takes a deep breath and says to herself, “I can do this.” Six months later it is summer and she is juggling work, single parenting, finding daycare, the mortgage on a single income, and while in hindsight much is clear to her, she still does not have a complete picture of how or why it all happened. She is not sleeping well, is low energy, she worries constantly about the kids and about money. For the first time in her life Cara is not sure if she really “can do this.”

Veteran’s last wish marks first crossing of new bridge BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

OAK PARK HEIGHTS – Though the St. Croix Crossing bridge won’t open to the public until August, one Stillwater resident was the first across as part of his dying wish. Jack Bohmert, 82, was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure and placed in hospice care. Upon realizing that he was near the end of his life, Bohmert made a short “bucket list.” In addition to going up to the lake for the Fourth of July and crossing the new bridge, Bohmert also hopes to make it to his 83rd birthday on July 17. Bohmert’s granddaughter Kelli Espiritu helped make her grandpa’s wish come true by calling for community support; even enlisting the help of Mayor Ted Kozlowski, a high school classmate. On July 6, a group of friends and family, as well as St. Croix Crossing Construction Manager Terry Zoller, joined Bohmert on the bridge. Bohmert grew up in White Bear Lake and Willernie. He served in the Navy and fought in the Korean War between 1951 and 1955. When he returned, he worked in construction, and drove a milk delivery van, which his daughter Lonnie Bohnen said was one of his favorite jobs. Bohmert

has been with his current partner, Virginia Ritzer, for 40 years. Between the pair, they have nine children, 17 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Many of his family members were able to watch Bohmert make his historic river crossing. “It was awesome. I think he was just thrilled,” said Bohnen, who lives in Willernie. “He’s legally blind, so he wasn’t really able to see much, but he was just thrilled to be able to be the fi rst one to go across.”

Bohmert has a special connection to the St. Croix River. For a while, he lived in Houlton, Wisconsin, before moving to Stillwater a few years ago – both sides of the riverway spanned by the new bridge. “He lived near the Stillwater (Lift Bridge), and he’s been really excited about (the new bridge) opening next month, and didn’t know if he was going to be around for the grand opening,” said Bohnen. The New Richmond VFW sent a col-

or guard to honor him at this special event. He was also joined by members of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. “It was really special,” Bohnen said. “I just thought it was kind of like a celebration of his life, and he was able to be there to celebrate.” Mayor Ted Kozlowski has since declared July 17 “Jack Bohmert Day.”

CHURCH BRIEFS Church announces new senior pastor The Rev. Bill Eaves has joined White Bear Lake United Methodist Church (WBLUMC) as its new senior pastor. He comes to the church from United Methodist Church (UMC) of Anoka, where he had been pastor since 2003. He previously served at Silver Lake UMC in Oakdale and several churches in Kentucky. SUBMITTED Eaves brings an inRev. Bill Eaves and his wife clusive outlook to his Sherry Jordon ministry. “I focus mostly on the basics: the love of God and the love of neighbor,” he said. “I have an open, appreciative eye toward other views and believe my ministry is char-

acterized by a breadth and depth that can allow for God to work in ways that I don’t understand and ways that don’t fit into my preconceived notions about God. I have no problem working with people of good will who have a different perspective from mine and will engage them in dialogue toward mutual understanding.” A Georgia native, he is married to Sherry Jordon, who is a professor of theology and women's studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Together they enjoy hiking, canoeing and kayaking, reading, travel and sharing a good meal with friends. Eaves joins associate pastors Brooke Heerwald Steiner and John McBride at WBLUMC. He will next lead worship 10 a.m. Sunday, July 23. All are welcome. The church will also host Summer Pizza Night on Wednesday, Aug. 16, for homemade brick-oven pizza, music and more. For more information, visit wblumc.org. WBLUMC is located at 1851 Birch Street.

The amazing X-ploits of a Mr. Lacrosse finalist for Mahtomedi BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The outstanding Mahtomedi lacrosse season had a familiar refrain, as articulated by the coach after the Zephyrs rallied to win their state tournament opener June 13. “We turn to Lucas,” said Pete Moosbrugger. “Because of what he does, we can make runs.” Turning to Lucas Honebrink over and over gave the Zephyrs a huge advantage in time of possession as the senior midfielder won the ball in almost every face-off, a key component of their many comebacks in a 16-3 season. His face-off prowess, along with his 29 goals (thirdmost on the team), landed Honebrink on the Star-Tribune All-Metro Team, and on the short list of Mr. Lacrosse finalists with six other seniors. “We have lots of people on our team that can score goals, but not many that can take faceoffs,” Honebrink reflected, about his roles on the team, “so my ability at the X is more important for my team than my ability to be an offensive threat. “Playing as a midfielder in general, and being an offensive threat, is just as important to me as taking face-offs. But when my team really needs me at the X, I will sacrifice field play to stay fresh for face-offs.” Honebrink won 77 percent of them (180 of 234) in the regular season. That went up to 82 percent (36 of 44) in the sectionals, and even higher, 89 percent (41 of 46) in the state tournament. He was dominant in the X in the section finals, a 1312 overtime win over Tartan (also scoring two goals) and again in the 13-12 conquest of Prior Lake in the first round at state. His X-ploits continued as the Zephyrs battled to the end in overtime losses to champion Eagan 12-11 and Wayzata 9-8. Honebrink, who will continue at Messiah College in Pennsylvania and major in engineering, first learned the fundamentals in eighth grade under a coach who was a face-off specialist. He has attended the Faceoff Factory and Fogolax specialty camps and further boned up studying YouTube videos.

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Lucas Honebrink came up with the ball, as usual, during a face-off in the state lacrosse tournament.

He started doing varsity face-offs as a freshman. “Which is when I started realizing I was pretty good at them,” said Honebrink, who’s held the job ever since for the Zephyrs and for Team Minnesota in the summers. As a sophomore, Honebrink made second-team allstate, all-section and all-conference. His junior season ended with a knee injury in the fifth game. Then came the outstanding senior season. Honebrink says it all starts with a fierce mindset. As he crouches on the X with his adversary and the ref, he vows, “That ball is mine, and I'm going to do whatever it takes” to snag the ball himself or steer it to a teammate.

Moosbrugger analyzed, admiringly, what makes the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Honebrink so proficient at this unglamorous but crucial task. “It’s three things. First, he has really fast hands. Second, he’s a bull. If he doesn’t beat you with his hands, he can push you around and gain leverage on the ball. And third, he made up his mind at a young age that he wanted to be one of the best in the state and the country. He’s gone to camps and there is not a situation he hasn’t faced. “So he can beat you with his hands, his brawn, and his mind. He can counter things so well and react in a split second. He’s got it all.”

State champ tennis team, gymnast among many Mahtomedi sports standouts in 2016-17 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The apex of Mahtomedi’s 2016-17 school year was the girls tennis team not only capturing a state championship but also toppling the nation’s longest dynasties to do so. Mahtomedi also boasted a state champion gymnast in Kasey Lenarz and a state top-four lacrosse team while any team that Evan Reyes played for seemed to come up big. More on that later. The Zephyr netters toppled Edina 4-3 in the state Class AA semifi nals on the morning of Oct. 26 at the University of Minnesota, ending a string of 19 consecutive state titles, a national record, and 58 consecutive state wins by the Hornets. The No. 2 doubles team of Emily Fraser and Lauren Splett pulled out a close match at No. 2 doubles to nail down the historic upset. That was the semifi nals, and Mahtomedi completed the job with a 5-2 conquest of Eagan the same day, fi nishing 22-4 (losing only when not at full strength) with just two senior starters, Erin Hoffman and Maggie Riermann. Their coach, Kathy Alex, a former UCLA All-American, coached just this one season and resigned due to the demands of her teaching pro career. Their new coach, former Gopher star Julia Courtier, takes over a Zephyr team with a good chance to repeat as state champs, with eight starters back, including Olivia Paradise at the top of the lineup. Zephyr gymnastics marked the 40th season of its Hall of Fame coach Debbie Driscoll with a fourthplace fi nish in the state Class A meet and the conference and section crowns that are routine for Driscoll. And Kasey Lenarz became Driscoll’s state all-around champion, also grabbing gold in vault and balance beam. Then there was Evan Reyes, who spread out the fun all year. Everyday Evan, you might call him. The 6-foot-2, 163-pound senior made

five interceptions and 37 tackles at safety on the football team that won conference and section crowns and fi nished 10-1. He was a backup guard averaging three points on the basketball team that went 24-4, shared the conference title and lost in the section fi nals. He played center field and hit over .300 on the baseball team that went 15-12 but won sectionals — he was 3-for-3 with a two-run double against Blake in the fi nals — and won one of three games at state. Stars of the explosive football team included rampaging ball carriers Jalen Frye (20 touchdowns) and

T.J. Tumbleson (16 touchdowns), while 6-foot-7 Parker Fox led the basketball squad with 23 points per game and a parade of dunks. Two more star athletes led the girls and boys track teams to Metro East Conference crowns: sophomore Kylie Krawczyk, who won four events at conference and qualified for state in three, and senior Gopher recruit Kaleb Siekmeier, who got on the podium twice at state, placing second in discus and third in shot put. Mahtomedi had a super boys lacrosse season led by all-staters Lucas Honebrink (also a Mr. Lacrosse

fi nalist) and Josh Campbell and scoring leader Timmy Lindquist. The Zephyrs (16-3) reached the state semifi nals and fi nished fourth. Zephyr boys hockey also went to state, in Class A, fi nishing 16-131. Falling one game short of state, with a nice section run after so-so regular season, were girls hockey (11-13-3), boys soccer (11-6-3), girls soccer (11-7-1) and softball (12-13). The Zephyr girls basketball team, like the boys, was highly-ranked all year, won the conference, and fi nished 22-4 with an upset loss in the section semifi nals.

Can you stay in position during your swing? There are really four components of fitness that relate to the golf swing; stability, mobility, flexibility and balance. Having one or two without the rest will hinder you from creating and maintaining a good golf swing. When you’re talking about golf specific fitness, it all starts with Tee Time mobility. Mobility is the combination of normal joint range Betsy of motion and proper muscular flexibility. Good mobility allows Larey your body to move in different directions while maintaining stability. Stability is created by combining balance, strength and muscular endurance. The number one issue I see with golfers is the inability to stay “in position” with their body during their golf swing. In the proper address position, your back is straight, tilted from the hips so the shoulders are over your toes. Your arms should hang loosely from your shoulders. Your knees should be slightly flexed with the rear end out and your weight towards the balls of your feet. During the backswing, the shoulders turn so your back is facing the target. The lower body is the base that the swing moves around. The right leg (for right handed golfers) is the anchor of the swing. Your right knee should still be flexed, with your knee cap pointing straight ahead. You should feel “loaded” into your right glute. If done correctly, your upper torso (shoulders and upper

back) separate from your lower torso (hips and lower back). If you’re able to do this correctly, the club should be parallel to the ground and aiming down the target line. If not, you’ll make compensations in your swing to get the club in the proper position. There are three compensations you can make to get the club to the top. First, you can over rotate your lower body so your weight actually ends up on your left side (reverse pivot). Second, you can bend your left arm and add an excessive wrist hinge. Third, you can “stand up” by straightening your spine. All three of these make it very difficult to have a consistent golf swing. All of these compensations have one thing in common; the inability to separate your upper from your lower torso. If you think this could be your issue, try this simple exercise to see if you are able to separate the two. Lay fl at on the ground on your back, arms extended straight out from your shoulders. Take your left leg, bending at the knee, and see if you can touch the ground when extending that leg over your right leg while keeping both shoulders flat on the ground. If you can do this, you have great flexibility. Most people over 30 have a difficult time performing this correctly. If you’re not even close, I guarantee you will not be able to stay in the proper golf posture during your backswing. Conversely on the downswing, you will once again be forced to make compensations if you are not able to separate the upper and lower torso. The downswing should always start with the legs

fi rst (left leg straightens, right hip fi res down the target line) then the arms. Once the legs are in the proper position, they stabilize and the arms move faster around the lower body. If you are unable to separate the two, your miss will be either a block to the right or a snap hook. If you have limited flexibility, you would be much better off having a one piece swing. That allows you to swing the club without separating your torso. You will gain accuracy and in all probability may hit the ball just as far (due to the fact that your swing path and club face will be correct). If you’d like to increase your flexibility, there are a number of exercises that will help you accomplish this. As always, if you haven’t exercised before, I suggest seeing your physician or physical therapist before you begin. I have gone to Kinetic Physical Therapy Institute in Woodbury and have had great success with hip and knee issues. They specialize in the postural restoration approach, which is very different than the standard set of exercises given by most PT’s. See Karen Jiran or Carrie Langer, both are excellent.

“BABY DRIVER” (R) [VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT.] — Phenomenal stunt driving, witty dialogue, and superb acting dominate this well-written, entertaining, action-packed, violent, well-paced, 113-minute thriller in which an orphaned, ear-budwearing, music-loving nice guy (Ansel Elgort), who cares for an elderly deaf man (CJ Jones) and falls in love with a gorgeous waitress (Lily James), is forced to be the getaway driver in Atlanta for a ruthless mastermind crime boss (Kevin Spacey) who plans risky heists with a motley crew of changing thieves (Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Jon Bernthal, et al.).

“THE HOUSE” (R) [LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, SEXUAL REFERENCES, DRUG USE, SOME VIOLENCE, AND BRIEF NUDITY.] — After a duplicitous councilman (Nick Krill) decides to build a community pool instead of giving a scholarship to their daughter (Ryan Simpkins) in this wacky, silly, raunchy, over-the-top, intermittently funny, star-studded (Jeremy Renner, Randall Park and Rob Huebel), 88-minute comedy, her desperate, embarrassed, broke parents (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) decide to open an illegal casino in the home of a gambling-addicted friend (Jason Mantzoukas), who is estranged from his wife (Michaela Watkins), to make $250,000 in one month to pay for their her college education.

SUNRISE / SUNSET

WEATHER TIDBIT Heat, humidity, dew point and Canadian air: this past July 4th week had it all but some much needed rain for most of us. I say most of us because there was a small freak shower that developed over the Anoka/Ramsey County border that dumped an inch of rain on July 5. This past Sunday night, a lightning show spectacular to our south was a great viewing pleasure but produced barely any rain for us here in the northern metro. With one good July thunderstorm, it doesn’t take much to get back to normal for rain. I’ve totaled under a tenth of an inch so far this month, far short of our expected 1 inch per week normal.

“THE LITTLE HOURS” (R) [GRAPHIC NUDITY, SEXUAL CONTENT, AND LANGUAGE.] — After a crude, suspicious, bearded Italian nobleman (Nick Offerman) catches a handsome, horny servant (Dave Franco) red-handed kissing his horny wife (Lauren Weedman) in the courtyard in 1347 in this hilarious, wacky, risqué, raunchy, dark, satirical, star-studded (Fred Armisen, Paul Reiser, Adam Pally, Jon Abrus and Paul Weitz), 90-minute comedy based on Giovanni Boccaccio’s “The Decameron,” the sexy seducer manages to escape and runs into a drunken priest (John C. Reilly) who hires him as a laborer and offers him lodging at the convent he oversees where the hormones of the horny, sheltered, wine-guzzling, foul-mouthed, medieval nuns (Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza and Kate Micucci) and the mother superior (Molly Shannon) run rampant.

“ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENICE” (NR) — A silly, wacky, occasionally funny, star-studded (John Goodman, Famke Janssen, Kal Penn, Thomas Middleditch, Elisabeth Röhm, Christopher McDonald, Adrian Martinez and David Arquette), action-packed, 94-minute comedy in which a reckless Los Angeles private investigator (Bruce Willis) tries to find the graffiti artist (Tyga) responsible for painting lewd artwork on the side of an apartment building owned by a friend (Adam Goldberg) who is trying to sell it while also searching for the Jack Russell terrier that belongs to his niece (Emily Robinson) that was stolen by a disgruntled drug dealer (Joseph Momoa).

County fairs have been a long, standing tradition in the community. Back in the day when towns were not very large, county fairs emerged. It was a time, after a long season of hard work, for the towns to gather and celebrate with their neighbors. Over time county fairs have evolved with the changing times, adapting to the changing communities. The Ramsey County Fair, celebrating its 103rd year, has had its changes, but also realizes the value of traditions and has striven to keep as many traditions as possible for families to pass along to future generations. While many County Fairs have had to start charging a fee for admission, Ramsey County remains one of the few FREE admission fairs, charging only a $3.00 parking fee (if you should park in the lot). The Ramsey County Fair has also striven to keep affordable food vendors and amusement rides each year making it an affordable day for a family to come and celebrate with their neighbors. There is something for everyone at the fair! Music, entertainment, food, rides, 4H displays, exhibits of food, art and crafts and back for 2016 the popular Mitchell Showboat Marionettes. You can be part of the Fair as well! Maybe you have a family recipe that Beer & you love to make, or a work of art, whether it’s Wine something you have sewn, quilted knitted, or Available painted. You never know, you just may win that prestigious County Fair Blue Ribbon! Do you have a special talent? Enter into the Amateur Talent contest, winners get to move onto the State Fair competition. Or maybe you would just enjoy sitting back and listening to some good music in the shade, with a lemonade in one hand and cotton candy in the other.

RELAY WHITE BEAR LAKE RELAY FOR LIFE

Join Us Friday July 28, 2017 • 6:00pm • WBLAHS South Campus Please join us for this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life on Friday, July 28th from 6:00 p.m. 6:00 a.m. at White Bear Lake High School South Campus. It is a free event open to the public. There will be speakers sharing their experiences with cancer, live music, inflatables, human foosball, a silent auction, various concessions, pancake breakfast and many personal stories! For more information please contact Amy Sundberg at amy.sundberg@cancer.org Everyone participating in Relay For Life provides hope by raising funds, offering support and a providing a sense of community for those battling cancer. This is Marlene Lenz’s third year as one of the Co-Chairs for the White Bear Lake Relay For Life. Donald J Pawlik is teaming up with Marlene this year to Co-Chair the event for his first time. Together they have gathered many amazing volunteers across White Bear Lake and surrounding communities. These individuals give their time and talent to ensure the event’s success each year. Some even for as long as the White Bear Lake Relay has been around which is twenty three years to be exact! Marlene’s first encounter with cancer was with one of her best friends who was diagnosed right after high school. She fought back as hard as she could, but during the late 80’s the treatments and technology were not nearly as advanced as they are today. “I lost my friend way to young,” Marlene pleaded. Over the years she has faced the unfortunate diagnosis of family members, friends, co-workers and others amongst the community. It was not until her very first experience with Relay that Marlene felt the overwhelming sense of hope and connection with the community to the fight against cancer. “I did my first Relay For Life when I was a White Bear Lake Lion in the early 90’s,” Marlene explained, “The Lions have been extremely involved since the beginning, and still are today!” The White Bear Lake Relay is so grateful for the Lions Club and their continued support throughout the years.

Schedule Opening Ceremony 6:30pm Survivors Lap 7:00pm Team Lap 7:15pm Luminaria Ceremony 9:30pm Closing Ceremony 5:45am Relay also has them to thank for introducing Marlene to the relay family, she has been an essential part of the leadership team. In turn, Marlene has made her involvement a family affair. She has inspired her two daughters, Madeline and Morgan, and husband Dave to join as event leaders as well. From the Celebration of the participating survivors, to the remembrance of those who lost their battles to cancer, and to the forward looking, call to action speeches during the Fight Back Ceremony, each segment has something different to offer. It is a night full of moving stories. From the prayers, to the tears, and from the laughs, to the hugs, nothing beats attending this special event. Everyone has had to say good-bye to far too many people far too soon to this horrible disease. “Unfortunately cancer runs in my family and I have lost relatives to cancer, so I am volunteering my time to help ﬁnd a cure,” Marlene explained. Over the years she has been able to see ﬁrsthand the increasing rate of survivorship at all relays across the state of Minnesota. “It is great seeing that the survivor rate is increasing for cancer related diseases, and that is why I continue to volunteer my time.”

The White Bear Lake Relay is special for many reasons. “The thing that moves me the most on the night of the event is all the stories that people share with each other about their experience with cancer, whether it is a happy ending or sad ending where they just need an ear to listen.” Marlene explained. The White Bear Lake Relay is the largest fundraising event in the state of Minnesota, and the teams, participants, and volunteers are very proud of that. Many people work hard to make this event possible. Our goal for this year’s event is to raise $200,000. Our Relay is much different from others for many reasons. There is one important aspect that sets the Relay in White Bear apart. Every person involved with Relay is a volunteer. Whether it be from our three live bands, Lions concessions workers, balloon release, game coordinators, inﬂatable helpers, silent auction planning, sound and production aides, lighting and electrical resources, golf carts and drivers, White Bear Lake Cheerleaders, guest speakers, team captains, Darrin Stone (KS95 radio personality), and even our very own Emcee Dave Dahl (KSTP meteorologist). This Relay is an event you should be sure not to miss. All are welcome on July 28th from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Please join us for the White Bear Lake Relay For Life! Article by Taylor Bjornberg
