NASA ambassador shares how to view upcoming solar eclipse BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

Eyes up, protective glasses on — this summer, Minnesotans will get a chance to see a partial eclipse of the sun. On Aug. 21, the moon’s rotation around the earth will place it directly between the sun and the earth, blocking out sunlight in certain parts of the country in the middle of the day. To help local families prepare for the eclipse and other amazing space phenomena, NASA Ambassador Chris Mick presented “Celestial Events

of 2017” at Hardwood Creek Library in Forest Lake Aug. 1. The path of the eclipse will not pass directly over Minnesota, but Mick said the moon will block out about 83 percent of the sun. “There are ways to observe it with safety-rated glasses, but (in the direct path of the eclipse) the effect will be more dynamic,” he said. “The light really shifts. It’s happening at midday, but it will be like twilight or evening for the minute or two it’s happening.” Solar eclipses occur more frequently than most people realize, according to NASA.

Typically there is an eclipse every 18 months or so, but it is not visible in all parts of the world, making the phenomenon seem more rare than it is. The last solar eclipse visible from the United States took place in 2012. This event was an annular eclipse, meaning that the moon was positioned further away from the earth and did not completely block out the sunlight. Unlike the 2012 event, the 2017 eclipse will be total. The next total eclipse visible from the U.S. will take place in 2024. SEE ECLIPSE, PAGE 9A

A solar eclipse is caused when the moon’s rotation around the earth places it directly between the sun and the earth, blocking out sunlight.

New Century College president aims to break barriers to student success BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — A recent college graduate told the new Century College president that college textbooks are expensive and not well used by professors. “I agree,” said new Century College President Angelia Millender at a question-and-answer event hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce in Vadnais Heights Aug. 1. Millender said one of her focus points as president will be to help incorporate open source textbooks. But first, content of such textbooks, often funded to be freely used, needs to be validated by the college. A position was recently created to continue the work already done by the college for open source textbooks. For Millender, addressing textbook costs is all about the students. Textbook costs, that can be up to $300 to $400, is just one barrier Millender is aiming to remove to help students succeed. Textbook prices held high by constant new editions with minor changes create a learning gap for students who can’t afford the books.

Thanks to two stewards, water quality improved on Bald Eagle Lake The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) announced that a water quality project has been completed on Bald Eagle Lake under the leadership of Master Water Steward volunteers Gary Krejcarek and Mike Hermann. The project included a raingarden and shoreline stabilization at the former West Avenue boat launch site that will reduce the volume of stormwater runoff and pollutants entering the lake. Stormwater from roads that used to flow down the abandoned boat launch and into the lake will now enter the raingarden. The water will be slowed down, temporarily held, and absorbed. Because raingardens are designed to absorb all water within 48 hours, there is no increased risk for mosquitoes. Stormwater runoff is the water that runs off roads, driveways, buildings, and other hard surfaces after it rains (or snows). This water collects pollutants such as oil, pesticides, fertilizer, and soil and transports them into waterways. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that stormwater runoff is considered one of the greatest threats to water quality and a leading source of water quality impairment. Removal of the barriers and installation of the raingarden have also beautified the space. The high visibility of the project location provides an opportunity to educate the public on water quality issues. The project was championed by RCWD Master Water Steward volunteers Krejcarek and Hermann. Krejcarek is a longtime resident of the area and current president of the Bald Eagle Area Association. Hermann recently graduated from University of St. Thomas in Environmental Studies and serves on the Mahtomedi Environmental Commission. Both men were required to work on a water quality improvement project as part of the Master Water Steward program. They were excited to be involved in such a dynamic partnership. The Master Water Stewards program is an education and outreach program designed to provide citizen volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to improve water quality at the local level. The program was developed by Freshwater Society in 2013; RCWD became a partner and sponsor in 2016 along with Capitol Region Watershed District and Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District. Each Master Water Steward must participate in coursework, commit to 50 hours of volunteer service for water quality in the first year and 25 in subsequent years, and complete a capstone project in their community. RCWD currently has four Master Water Stewards. Applications for the next class of Master Water Stewards are being accepted through Sept. 30. Space is limited. Individuals interested in becoming Master Water Stewards can attend an information session with watershed district staff on Aug. 14 at 5:30 p.m. at the Freshwater Society, 2424 Territorial Road, Suite B, St. Paul 55114 or Sept. 14 at Urban Boatbuilders, 2288 University Ave. West in St. Paul. Learn more, apply and RSVP to attend an information session at www.masterwaterstewards.org. This project is the result of a collaborative effort between Rice Creek Watershed District, Ramsey Conservation District and White Bear Township.

Immigrant nation: Contributing to the community BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — A week after a speaker at a naturalization ceremony at the Shoreview library told a group of 28 new Americans that their culture and art would become part of American culture, the library commissioned a piece of art donated by the local Chinese community in the same room July 14. The art piece was just the frosting on the cake of a fundraising campaign by a group of about 140 fi rst-generation Chinese immigrant families, most of whom live in Shoreview. The group raised about $13,000 for the new library. Of that, $8,000 went toward the oak laptop bar and bench on the west side of the building and about $5,000 paid about half the price of the artwork, said Cyndi Cook, executive director of Friends of the Ramsey County Libraries. Artist Yudong Shen, a Shoreview resident who owns Mei Lin Art Studio in Shoreview, donated the other half of the cost. The contributions to the library began when one member of the local Chinese community, Rong Kate Yang, attended the library’s grand opening in January. She heard about all the donations community members had made to the library and decided she also wanted to give back. After talking with then-executive director Sue Gehrz, Yang thought she and the local Chinese community could raise enough to have naming rights to the laptop bar and bench. Yang began to organize a group and together they raised more than their goal. That is when Shen entered the picture. The art piece he created, “Unlimited,” speaks to the universal love across cultures that libraries bring together and the unlimited possibilities people from different backgrounds can create together as they contribute to the community. “(A) library is the home that unites us all,” Shen said. Within the painting of a river flowing from a Roman building is the word for “hello” in four languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese and Hindi. More languages are in the background, he noted. Also included are the Chinese characters for “peace,” “love” and “never give up.” There were also other pieces of art from local youth temporarily displayed in the community room to celebrate the donations to the library. A group of Chippewa Middle School orchestra students played at the event. Youth mingled all across the community room, speaking English with Minnesota accents as their parents visited speaking in Chinese. Most of the adults in the local Chinese community are fi rst-generation immigrants; most of them first came to the U.S. as students and most hold master’s degrees and doctorates, Yang said. “We all work at local companies,” Yang said — places like Boston Scientific, 3M and Medtronic. “Most of them study here, work here and then get their citizenship.” Yang’s husband became a citizen this summer and she will take the oath in the near future, she said. Yang is an accountant and her husband is an engineer at SEH. They both attended the University of Minnesota and live in Vadnais Heights. “Even though we are immigrants, we do feel belonging to the community,” Yang said. Chinese immigrants also moved to the Shoreview area, Yang added, because they were attracted by the Mounds View School District. Her children attend Turtle Lake Elementary and Chippewa Middle School. Yang said she organized the library donations because it was an opportunity for the Chinese to show they really want to be part of the community. “We just want people to share a sense of joy in the community,” Yang said. The library is still receiving funds to cover gaps in funding, Cook said. The county budgeted $18 million for the new library, but Friends is raising about $250,000 for amenities and extras, like the fi replace and art.

Immigrants contribute to Minnesota economy Immigrants are economically necessary to Minnesota, according to a 2017 study conducted by the University of Minnesota. Across the state, companies are expressing that they are not fully staffed and also say that immigrants play a role in fi lling the gaps, said William Blazar, senior vice president of public affairs for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, at a White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce meeting earlier this year. To maintain a 0.5 percent increase in the growth rate of the labor force, the number of people who move to the state needs to increase by 4.5 times, said Maura Donovan, executive director of the Office of University Economic Development. Oth-

The Lius have lived in Shoreview about 15 years and became U.S. citizens several years ago. Holly helped organize about 200 local Chinese families who donated $13,000 to the new library.

erwise, the growth rate is projected to dip to 0.25 percent in the 2030s. The future strength of the economy depends on attracting and integrating immigrants into the workforce, Donovan said. The number of people who historically moved to Minnesota from the Dakotas and Iowa to fi ll those labor force gaps is diminishing, Blazar said. Immigrants become workers, entrepreneurs, consumers and a bridge to the world economy, Blazar noted. Fifteen percent of the Minnesota immigrant population has a graduate degree versus 10 percent of the native population, he added. If the 2013 immigration reform bill were to bring 1,000 immigrant professionals to the U.S., about 7,000 new jobs would be created by 2020 and $2.5 billion in personal income would be projected by 2045, Donovan said. Refugees also become important contributors to the economy over time, Donovan noted. For example, the Hmong community that sided with the U.S. during the Vietnam War began immigrating from Laos in the ‘70s. In 1980, their median household income was $17,000; by 2010, it was $49,000. Households receiving public assistance dropped from 67 percent to 14 percent and workforce participation rates jumped from 27 percent to 59 percent.

Refugee to resident: The long journey to a new home Eagerness and earnestness filled the faces of three men when an English word new to them came up in conversation with a teacher at Ramsey County Library’s English conversation circle at the Shoreview library July 16. Wildopdi Duverna had only been in the country for 15 days when he attended the free class. Duverna moved to Arden Hills from Haiti with his Amer-

ican wife, whom he met in the Dominican Republic. At the library, he met two other recent arrivals who came to the U.S. as refugees. Maekele Teklsnbet fled instability in Eritrea and came to the U.S. as a refugee about 18 months ago. His parents and younger sisters came five years ago, he said. One of his older brothers also came later. Another older brother has not been approved to immigrate to the U.S. with the family because he is over the age limit at 26, Teklsnbet said. When his family tried to flee across the border to Ethiopia at night, they were separated when the military caught them. They later successfully crossed the border separately. After living with his parents in small-town Oklahoma for a year, Teklsnbet moved to a cousin’s house in Shoreview to study English in Minnesota. He had applied for work in Oklahoma but heard nothing, even though he is a skilled mechanic. He is studying English full time and hopes to get his GED at Hubbs Learning Center. Janvier Ndokorwa, of Roseville, fled conflict in Congo when he was 10 and was a refugee in Burundi for 19 years before coming to the U.S. in February. Ndokorwa said his travel documents were signed the same day President Donald Trump gave an executive order temporarily banning refugees. The order included suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days to review the program for potential threats to U.S. Security, according to the White House Office of the Press Secretary. When the ban was lifted by a judge, Ndokorwa was able to immigrate with his brother. SEE IMMIGRANTS, PAGE 10A

Minnesota is special

N THE JULY issue of Twin Cities Business, the editor Dale Kurschner makes a point of why Minnesota is the best place to live. He notes that no other state has as many significant top 10 ratings. For example, Minnesota is one of only 13 major metropolitan areas with five major sports teams—baseball, football, hockey, soccer and basketball. In a short time soccer will have its own stadium at the Allianz Field. This stadium is estimated now to cost $200 million with a 25 percent overrun from the original $160 million. Soccer is a world sport and that About the gives Minnesota an even bigger range of influence. Town Kurschner goes on to say that Minneapolis consistently ranks Gene Johnson among the top 10 best cities for live theater, as do New York and Boston, but only Minneapolis has more theater seats per capita than any other U.S. city after New York. Next summer, Lakeshore Players will have a new theater building completed with a new name: Hanifl Performing Arts Center - Home of Lakeshore Players Theatre and Children’s Performing Arts. This new facility, all on one floor with easy access, will provide opportunities for various events in music and has a perfect location right next to the Art Center on Highway 61 North. The Twin Cities ranks fi fth in Travel Leisure’s ‘America’s Best Cities for Foodies’ after Houston, Texas, Providence, Rhode Island, Kansas City, Missouri and Atlanta, Georgia. Minnesota also spends a lot on marine equipment with Minnesotans owning 809,000 boats, the second highest percentage of boats per capita in the country after Florida. Our own communities where the Press circulates have a wonderful series of lakes, parks and bike trails. Then, of course, we have the Minnesota State Fair get-together with the largest daily attendance in the nation. Kathy and I are getting ready for the Letterpress Museum to open again where we have the privilege of being co-publishers for the 12 days beginning Aug. 24 and continuing through Labor Day. Our plans are to be present at the morning shift which goes from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 30 and Sept. 1. Little did we realize that the letterpress process would also become an art form. Many people in the art and graphic design career paths are volunteering because of this interest in letterpress printing. We also have great technical colleges in Minnesota. My experience is with Dunwoody College of Technology. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I completed a presswork course there in the late 50s. It gave me a lot of confidence in the commercial printing department at Press Publications when it was located on the second floor of the Getty building, which by the way still exists at Third Street and Clark Avenue in downtown White Bear Lake. In Dunwoody’s summer news magazine, current president, Rich Wagner, Ph.D., says that the future is bright and Dunwoody graduates continue to be in high demand. In fact, by the time commencement arrived, 86 percent of the graduating class had already accepted employment offers. It has a great reputation and deserves consideration, along with Century College in our area, if you are looking for a technical school. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Business times are a changin’

he old adage of evolve or dissolve has always been a part of the challenges that face businesses. This rings truer today than maybe ever before. We see daily the many changes that companies and their leaders must adapt to and prepare for. The most successful businesses must be constantly on the path of meeting their current business goals as well as have foresight and Movers and the strategy to look out further ahead Shakers to anticipate what Ling Becker others cannot. The Darwinism of business is stronger than ever in our changing business climate. From issues related to workforce, technology, and governmental policies, times are changing at a rapid rate. This is why many area businesses choose to connect with their local economic development group and Chamber of Commerce to leverage shared knowledge and best practices. Business as we know it today will not be the same in the next few years. Consumers will be seeing continuing changes in their shopping and dining experiences as technology continues to evolve. Businesses need to make bets on how they will adapt with the changing demographic of upcoming tech savvy generations. A couple areas where change has been happening at an extremely rapid pace is in the workplace culture

and workforce development. In my work, I’ve been seeing tremendous business evolution. Here are some trends of note: Millennials meet Generation Z — The genZers have arrived! 2016 marked the first year they entered the workplace while a third of management roles were filled by millennials. What are some of the challenges? For one, there is an ever widening technology gap between younger and older workers. In addition, stereotypes abound between the groups which causes friction. Interestingly enough, both generations agree that they want businesses to transform the office environment, reward employees, embrace flexibility, and take on causes. The three Ws — Workplace wellness and well-being are the three Ws of attraction tool trends. Getting creative with wellness programs is increasingly common. Companies that are leveraging wellness programs find multiple levels of benefits that affect their bottom line including attracting talent, lower absenteeism and lower healthcare costs. Changing employer/employee contract — Believe it or not, regardless of age, the tenure for employees is currently 4.6 years in the U.S. There is no lifetime employment contract and attracting employees is an ongoing activity for all employers regardless if you have current openings. In addition, the work relationship between employers and employees continues to change with more working at home, more operating as independent contractors, and also with employers

utilizing technologies to leverage employees in remote locales. Evolving benefits — All age groups, genders, and ethnicities care about fair compensation. Other important factors are healthcare and work flexibility. Studies have shown some employee groups value work flexibility above healthcare and yet only 1/3 of companies even offer it. And those that do, often don’t promote it to job seekers. Other new benefits include assistance with student loans and I even heard of a local business thinking about providing car insurance. While businesses continue to work on meeting the next challenges, especially in the area of workforce development, we have some local successes to celebrate. Congrats to I.C. System, Reell Precision Manufacturing, and The Specialty Mfg. Company for receiving the Star Tribune’s 2017 Top Workplace achievement. Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota through employee opinions, including employee feedback about workplace culture, the levels of employee engagement, organizational health, and overall satisfaction. The Northeast Metro community is fortunate to have a vibrant business community continually connecting together to get ahead of the curve on what is next around the corner. Regardless of what tomorrow brings, we are all committed to shared success together. Ling Becker is executive director of the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation.

Eyes too big for stomachs? No problem

y brother and his family from Florida spent their vacation with us. We had planned this vacation for months, down to menu details. He had many requests because some foods, such as rhubarb, aren’t readily available in Florida. What he misses most is fresh corn on the cob from the Midwest, which, in Florida tends to be tough and not as sweet. We ate lots of corn on the cob. Estimating how much corn our crowd thought they could eat was difﬁcult. Some said two ears, others said three or even four. Everyone’s eyes were bigger than their stomachs. I had lots of left over corn every time we cooked it. Easy solution.

Corn salad is a fabulous accompaniment to anything grilled during the summer. I have been known to even dump some corn salad and black beans on romaine lettuce and top it with a southwestWild Chow ern salad dressing. At the end of our Lisa vacation my brother asked, “Have you ever Erickson had just corn on the cob for supper?” I said, yes many times. His eyes lit up, “Next year, let’s do that!” Done deal, little brother — no problem.

Corn Salad 3-4 cups cooked corn kernels cut from the cob 1 small red onion, chopped 1 green pepper, diced 1 jalapeño, with the pith and seeds removed, minced (optional) 2 Tbsp. butter 1 Tbsp. fresh herbs, chopped, like tarragon, basil or oregano Salt and pepper to taste In a large saucepan over high heat, melt the butter. Add onion, peppers and jalapeño. Sauté until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add corn and herbs; stir and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Serve either warm or chilled.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Crosswalk danger To the motorists driving around White Bear Lake, specifically on Highway 96 at Ramsey Beach, where there is a well-marked cross walk, with strobe lights: My wife and I were enjoying a nice bike ride until we reached this cross walk. We pushed the button, waited a moment, and some idiot on a motorcycle goes flying by without stopping and waving a hand at us. Then, on our way back, the same thing happens, only this time with some idiot driving a Porsche Cayenne, drives by and waves. On the other side, someone in a Mercedes Benz stopped, but then made some smart a-- comment to us. To the idiot on the motorcycle, the idiot in the Porsche Cayenne, and the idiot in the Mercedes Benz: “Follow the law.” Stop acting like we did something wrong. To the city of White Bear Lake: You really need to enforce this issue, before someone gets killed by idiots like this. Rob Odegaard White Bear Township

Bravo to Bonnie and Clyde crew Sainted to the members of the first-ever student-led summer production “Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical.” It was a skillfully put together production, every phrase a 10. The cast, music, pit band, direction, costumes, sets, ticket price, everything. We hope they will be planning something for next year. Whatever it is, if this crew is working on it, get your tickets now. Kudos to everyone for a wonderful evening. Jane and John Jones White Bear Lake

First traffic ticket in 92 years I am a 92-year-old woman who has lived in White Bear Lake most of my life. I have no criminal record and have never been stopped by police or had a traffic ticket. On July 17, I was pulled over during a “sting” operation. I was driving down Fourth Street when I noticed a man and a couple other people standing on the side of the road by a pedestrian crossing. I was going slowly and they did not proceed into the crosswalk so I continued. I was then pulled over. The officer told me that I went through a pedestrian crossing. He asked me for my driver’s license and insurance card and then told me a pedestrian only has to have one foot in the crosswalk for a driver to stop. He handed me my insurance card and went back to his car. I thought he had given me a warning (I didn’t realize he still had my driver’s license), so I proceeded to drive away. I was pulled over again. He said he wasn’t finished and went back to his car. It was extremely hot and humid and I was sitting directly in the sun, so I got out of the car. He yelled at me to get back into the car and put the air conditioner on. I told him I didn’t have one. He said to get back in anyway because he wouldn’t be long. After several minutes, I was so hot I walked back to his car to see

if I could sit with him. As I approached his car, he got out and gave me a citation for $186. In this day and age, when public relations with the police are so precarious, you’d think the officer would have taken into account my age, my good citizenship, how hot it was and the fact that I was going slowly. They should be spending their time pursuing real criminals rather than harassing the elderly on fixed income. I feel a warning should have been sufficient for a first offense, especially the first in 92 years. Helen Witwicke White Bear Lake

Minnesota lakes are public As a resident of White Bear, and a lake cabin owner in another county, I recently read with great interest the article in the July 26 White Bear Press by Debra Neutkens titled “Putting boaters in their place.” Regarding Mr. Igo’s comment that he and Mr. Michaud are, “trying to figure where people are supposed to be on the lake,” I believe I’m correct in saying that all Minnesotans have a right to be anywhere on any Minnesota lake, including White Bear Lake. As to Mr. Becker’s objection to the music and noise boaters were making at the end of the peninsula, I would think some research prior to purchasing the property (at the very least, speaking to adjacent property owners) would have disclosed this issue. If this music and noise was being carried on into the night (I don’t know that it was or wasn’t), I could certainly understand Mr. Becker’s objections. But once he decided the noise was a nuisance, he was, and still is, free to move. And it’s interesting that the article failed to mention the action he’s taken to dissuade boaters from gathering around the end of the peninsula. I understand he installed several long docks. As a taxpayer, I would be very much against Ramsey County paying to remove the vegetation at the site proposed by Mr. Igo and Mr. Michaud. Although the article doesn’t say this, it seems obvious that this is the reason they are speaking to the county commissioner. Once the county does that, every lake property owner in the county would have the reasonable expectation that the county pay to remove vegetation from their shoreline as well. Since Mr. Michaud and Mr. Igo are the ones suggesting the vegetation removal, perhaps they would be willing to pay the bill. Finally, I believe Mr. Igo and Mr. Michaud should be speaking to the DNR about removing the vegetation, since they (the DNR) controls what can and can’t be done beyond the shoreline. John Parenteau White Bear Lake

Thank you to council members I want to thank council members Heidi Gunderson, Terry Nyblom, and Craig Johnson for not supporting the wreckless attempt by Greg Urban and Bob Fletcher to make previously held City Council attorney client privileged meetings made public. Their

argument of “transparency” was less than genuine to say the least. When council members are in attorney-client privileged meetings they are meant to be and remain confidential just like anyone else who has conversations with their legal counsel especially in already settled legal matters. Thankfully, the League of Minnesota Cities strongly advised against it, our city attorney aggressively advised against it, and our city staff also vigorously advised against it. Why were all of the nonpolitical professionals against this bad public policy? Because it would in no way have benefited the city of Vadnais Heights in any way, shape, fashion, or form. In fact, it would have guaranteed new legal action against the city of Vadnais Heights. So the question needs to be asked. Who is Greg Urban and Bob Fletcher really working for?

Tim Walz for governor Regarding Mr. Remley’s letter in support of Republican Matt Dean’s campaign for governor, I offer a polite “no thank you.” Not long ago, we had a Republican governor, perhaps very much like Matt Dean, who ran our state budget into crisis and sat by while our infrastructure crumbled. He seemed more interested in his party’s agenda and his own national ambitions than the well-being of Minnesota. DFL leadership from Mark Dayton stabilized our state, and we are on the grow again. Continued leadership is needed, yes, and my choice is someone with actual leadership experience. Tim Walz has defended our nation with his life as a Command Sergeant Major. He’s taught our state's children as a respected educator and football coach. He’s served greater Minnesota’s interests honorably, and is known in Congress for his “soldier’s work ethic.” Walz is not a partisan; he’s interested in collaborating and doing the right thing, the right way. We can clearly see the downward direction that Republican governors are taking other states around us, defunding access to healthcare and education, busting public service unions, and deepening deficits through more proposed tax breaks for the wealthiest. Tim Walz as our governor seems far more likely to help keep our state strong, balanced, innovative, and prosperous for all Minnesotans. Robert Jersak White Bear Township

CLARIFICATION In the story on the Bear Paw Galaxy Aug. 2, scientist Melanie Galloway clarified that the sentence “most stars’ lifetimes are longer than the lifetime of the universe,” should read “many stars’ lifetimes are longer than the age of the current universe, most living for many billions of years” to be more accurate.

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

Vadnais Heights • On July 26 just after midnight, an 18-year-old male out of Shoreview was stopped at McMenemy Street and Oakwood Terrace for driving 71 mph in a 50-mph zone. He also “did not do well on the field sobriety tests,” a deputy noted. The teen was transported to jail on an underage drinking and driving charge. • A prowler is now sporting a new shoulder bag after breaking into a vehicle in the WalMart lot the evening of July 26, making off with credit cards, a social security card and stereo equipment along with the bag. • Men behaving badly, or, as characterized in one police report as a “group of drunks,” were reportedly fi ghting just after midnight July 27 at a bar in the 1100 block of County Road E. No weapons were in evidence. One fellow, a 38-year-old out of West St. Paul, was fi ngered as the one who started the brawl and he was quickly on his way to county detox. • Suspected scrapper activity at an unoccupied residence July 27 in the 3300 block of Labore Road meant a trip to the Ramsey County Jail for a 27-year-old Maplewood man on charges of third-degree felony burglary and felony possession of burglary tools. • Things didn’t go as planned for the rookie shoplifter the morning of July 27 at WalMart. The 25-year-old Burnsville woman did make it out the door with $484 in stolen goods but not before an electronic sensor in the blue store handcart went off. The woman ducked

into a woman’s restroom at nearby Mad Jack’s restaurant and threw the beeping item into a toilet before heading for the door again. This time the law was right behind her and she was quickly on her way to jail on charges of theft and fleeing police on foot. • Deputies responded to a report of a domestic assault in the 1200 block of County Road D in the wee hours of July 28. That report proved to be unfounded but a 44-year-old Maplewood man at the scene was taken into custody on a warrant for his arrest. • A thief succumbed to the forces of darkness the evening of July 28 when he stole a donation jar from a gas station countertop in the 1000 block of County Road E. The jar contained approximately $70 in change and small bills intended for disabled children. • Was tonight date night? A 17-year-old Dellwood girl was collared at WalMart the afternoon of Aug. 1 attempting to make off with $222 worth of cosmetics she had not paid for. The teen was trespassed from the store for one year and released to Dad. The case was forwarded to the county attorney for petitioning into juvenile court.

White Bear Township • A resident on Pond View Lane reported a garage burglary overnight July 27. The loss amounted to $1,700 including a woman’s pricey “electric” bicycle valued at $1,500 and a wallet from a vehicle inside the garage. “There was no forced entry,” the 57-year-old victim said. • A noise awoke an Otter Lake Road woman just before midnight July 27. She looked out the

bedroom window in time to see her husband’s truck leaving their driveway, but the man behind the wheel of the white Ford pickup, wearing a blue bandana and ball cap, was not her husband. It wasn’t long however before Centennial Lakes police stopped the truck and arrested the driver, a 29-year-old Lindstrom man, on a felony auto theft charge. A blue bandana and ball cap were found on the floor of the truck. Vehicle owners are reminded to not leave keys in their vehicles. • A 12-year-old boy suffered a dog bite on Otter View Court the night of July 30. The wound required stitches, the report noted. The offender was current on its shots but no other information was reported. An investigation continues. • A tough guy turned on the charm the night of July 31 by throwing plates of food around and pushing his girlfriend, 43, into a wall. The man, 42, who’d been drinking all day, according to witnesses, also threw a recliner down a flight of stairs before leaving the scene. A “pick up and hold” order was issued for the man who faces charges of disorderly conduct, domestic assault and fi fth-degree assault. • An unsecured 12 x 6 aluminum trailer went missing from a yard in the 5600 block of Centerville Road overnight July 31. • A burglary seems to have been interrupted the evening of Aug. 1 when an employee of a company on Constellation Drive noticed a security camera that was out of position. That caused the man to look more closely at the remaining cameras until he noticed one covered by a jacket. He called 911 and an investigation continues.

WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Birchwood, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, Pine Springs and Willernie:

White Bear Lake bank robbed BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Wells Fargo at White Bear Avenue and Highway 61 closed Monday afternoon Aug. 7 while police investigated a robbery. “We were told by the bank employees that they were robbed,” said White Bear Lake Police Capt. Phil Henry. No one was hurt, he noted. No one has been arrested, Henry said. The bank was closed about noon as police officers interviewed people who had been inside the bank around the time of the robbery. Danny Steele and Carter Kaun, 2016 White Bear Lake

Area High School grads who were home for the summer and heading on a trip to the Boundary Waters, were waiting in the parking lot for a friend who was being interviewed inside. Steele and Kaun had used the ATM and then saw a bunch of police cars coming to the bank. An anonymous witness from Forest Lake in the parking lot said he thinks he saw the suspect ahead of him in line. He thought the suspect must have slipped the teller a note. The suspect left the bank, he added, and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, white brimmed hat, black sweatpants and white shoes, he noted. The witness said he thought the man looked suspicious but

stayed in line to cash his check because he didn't think a robbery could really be occurring right in front of him in White Bear Lake. “At first I knew he was up to something no good,” he said. The witness says he thinks he could identify the suspect if he sees a picture of him. Police are still investigating further details of the robbery. It has not been reported whether the suspect was armed or not. Vadnais Heights Editor Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

Businesses, students celebrate manufacturing career dreams BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS—A four-week manufacturing career summer program ended with four smiling students and four smiling business representatives at Jimmy’s Event Center Aug. 1 “Manufacturing is kind of the bread and butter of our community,” said Ling Becker, executive director of the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC), which supported the program with funds. About 70 to 80 of 315 businesses in Vadnais Heights are manufacturers, she noted. “We want to be a manufacturing community,” Becker added. But to keep manufacturing businesses in Vadnais Heights going for many years to come, more workers and younger workers are needed as Baby Boomers retire. That is why four local businesses came together through the VHEDC to offer four White Bear Lake Area Schools students the opportunity to participate in the first-ever Gen Z Connection: Skills and Careers in Manufacturing program this summer. At Dufresne Manufacturing, a job shop in Vadnais Heights, students learned about blueprint reading, grinding techniques and short cut math formulas, said White Bear Lake Area High School senior Charles Rupprecht. At Mold Craft, a mold manufacturer in Willernie, students learned about milling electrodes, 3D CAD design and precision measurement, said senior Ryan Benert. At Specialty Manufacturing, a valve manufacturer in White Bear Township, students learned about wiring, production and assembly, said 2017 graduate Aaron Purdham. At Schwing, a concrete pump truck manufacturer in White Bear Township, students learned about sandblasting, truck prep and inspection, said senior Karl Stein. Students also had the opportunity to tour two other manufacturers and take a tour at St. Paul College. They also worked on resume and interviewing skills with Rich Wessels, career navigator for the manufacturing career pathway program in White Bear Lake Area Schools. The Gen Z Connection summer program was an extension of the district program that began three years ago. A goal has been to connect students with local businesses to get real-world experience. “Without them, the program would not be nearly as successful as it is today,” Wessels said. Benert, Rupprecht and Stein all said they plan to take the third and fourth classes offered at the school. Purdham said the summer program gave him clarity on what types of manufacturing he is interested in. “It helped me narrow the spectrum of what I want to do in the next couple years,” he noted. Purdham’s mother, Lori, thanked the businesses, VHEDC, district and others for making the program possible.

White Bear Lake Area School Board member Ellen Fahey, left, runs into former student Jon Tomaszewski while greeting students and business leaders at an event celebrating the area’s first Gen Z Connection: Skills and Careers in Manufacturing program. Tomaszewski, who was a middle school science student of Fahey in the ‘90s, is now an engineer at Precision Manufacturing in White Bear Township, one local business that participated in the new program this summer.

“We want to be a manufacturing community.” Ling Becker Executive Director, Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation “I'm amazed, truly amazed, at how many people worked together to give my son and these other students this opportunity,” she said. The students were paid $10/hour by VHEDC through Ramsey County. To make the program happen, Wessels and other lobbyists worked with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry to revise state child labor laws to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to work on machines 20 percent of the time they are working, which is the federal maximum. It offered students an authentic experience with local manufacturers. “I'm thrilled to be able to be involved with this,” said Steve Moeller of Specialty Manufacturing. “It was just an awesome experience,” added Justin McPhee of Mold Craft. The district hopes the Gen Z Connection program, in partnership with VHEDC and local businesses continues. “We intend for this to continue,” said District Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak. “We’ve only scratched the surface.”

The manufacturing career pathways program has grown from 38 in its first year to 70 last year and 99 enrolled for this year, said Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for finance and operations. Also this summer, five students attended a manufacturing and welding camp at St. Paul College and 15 students attended a fab lab camp at Century College. White Bear Lake Area High School sophomore Kevin Lundgren said he made a fidget spinner and a birdhouse at the camp at St. Paul College. He hopes to potentially participate in the Gen Z Connection program in the future and came with his parents to hear about it. His father, Craig Lundgren, has a career in manufacturing.

Spot the food shelf truck, raise funds through photos Have you spotted the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf’s (WBAEFS) new truck around town? The WBAEFS truck travels around White Bear Lake as part of the food shelf's new mobile market program. It is making additional rounds to raise funds for the mobile markets, where the truck brings food to locations in the community, such as churches and senior living centers. For community members who spot the truck, taking a photo could be a big contribution. People's Bank Midwest will donate $1 (up to $1,000) to support the mobile markets for those who post a photo of the truck on social media with #SpotTheTruckWBL. “Peoples Bank Midwest is proud to be a supporter of the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. As good corporate citizens, we pride ourselves on supporting our local community and feel the Food Shelf is a very worthy cause,” said Kevin Whelan, president. The campaign will run until Aug. 15.

ECLIPSE: Special glasses required for viewing in Minnesota FROM PAGE 1A

In Minnesota, the eclipse will begin at about 11:45 a.m., and will peak at about 1 p.m. After that, it will wane until around 2 p.m. will begin at about 11:45 a.m., and will peak at about 1 p.m. After that, it will wane until around 2 p.m. Those who want to view the eclipse will need specialized glasses to protect their eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. Viewers in areas with total coverage will be able to take their glasses off during the peak of the event, when sun rays are completely blocked, but Minnesotans who want to watch will need to keep their protective eyewear on. Protective glasses will be available to attendees of the Aug. 21 library events. “You can’t use sunglasses; you can’t use welder’s goggles,” Mick said. “If they’re not the right density, it’ll cause eye damage. Some people are giving them out for free, or you can buy them for a dollar or two.” Unfortunately, the glasses are too dark to be used for any purpose other than viewing the sun. Mick also touched on other cosmic events of 2017, such as the Perseid meteor shower that occurs every August, as well as opportunities to view Venus and the International Space Station. He explained a few different ways of viewing and identifying space phenomena, including binoculars, telescopes and smartphone apps. On the day of the eclipse, Mick will be with a few other space enthusiasts at the Science Museum of Minnesota, which will host a viewing party. In addition to being a NASA ambassador, Mick runs the nonprofit program Space St. Croix in Hudson, Wisconsin. Mick fi rst became inter-

ested in space at a young age, living near NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. His father was a pilot who ran an air school, and took him to see wind tunnel tests at the research center. He went to space camp as a kid and dreamed of being an astronaut, but his dreams were dashed when he grew several inches too tall to qualify. He worked instead as an educator, and moved to Hudson in 2003, where he noticed there was no aerospace industry or planetarium anywhere nearby. “It dawned on me when STEM

became a buzzword there could be a program I could offer, that could get kids excited about STEM, so I developed that and took it around to (local school) principals,” he said. The Hudson schools enjoyed his program, and now incorporate it into the regular curriculum for all third graders in the district. It started with outer space topics, but has expanded to include aeronautics, meteorology and other subjects.

PRESIDENT: Aiming for student success through ‘transformational’ experiences FROM PAGE 1A

“It’s having a reverse effect,” Millender noted. “Students won’t buy the book.” In her most recent position as president at Olive-Harvey College in Chicago, Millender discouraged staff from building relationships with textbook publishers and taking money from them. “The textbook companies court the faculty,” Millender said. “It’s a business.” Millender would also like to increase student awareness of the college’s book buyback program and book rentals so they can leave college with minimal debt. Another focus point for the college under Millender’s leadership will be developing more partnerships with other colleges. For example, the college has an associate degree in nursing and students can turn that into a four-year LPN (licensed practical nurse) degree on campus through a partnership with Metropolitan State University. “That’s what we want to seek to do more of under my leadership,” Millender said. She would also like to see more students taking PSEO (post-secondary enrollment options) on campus, to get the full “enriched” experience of a college course. Developing hybrid courses that are part online and part in class is also a goal that would offer more flexibility to nontraditional students. “I believe that is an area of growth for Century,” she noted. Millender's ultimate goal is to remove barriers and enable students to have a transformational, instead of a transactional, experience. She began her tenure July 1 and said she has already developed a strategy to reach out to students who have failed a course. “I have a call to action to all employees on opening day that we are going to be proactive rather than reactive,” she said. She wants students to know about all the services the college offers to help students succeed, including a food pantry, clothing, emergency funds resource center and mental health services. “Every office is there to help a student,” she added.

IMMIGRANTS: Important part of the Minnesota economy and workforce FROM PAGE 3A

However, his parents and sister are still in Burundi because their travel documents had not yet been signed before the executive order took effect. In the meantime, their medical approvals expired and they were set back in the process. His family had been preparing to move to the U.S. since 2014. â€œIn order to come here is not easy,â€? he said. â€œThe refugee who goes to Europe â€” the case takes six months. But here they check everything.â€? He had to get 52 vaccinations. Ndokorwa ended up in Minnesota because a friend recommended it to him, noting a high chance of success in education and work in Minnesota. When he heard a Minnesota state official spoke out against the travel ban, he was pleased. He arrived at night Feb. 27, exactly one month from the executive order. â€œIn the morning when I woke up, everything was white,â€? he remembered. Ndokorwa hopes the rest of his family will be able to come to the U.S. soon since under the revised order put into effect this summer refugees with a relative in the U.S. are allowed to enter during the 120-day suspension. â€œTo become refugees is not easy,â€? Ndokorwa said. â€œWe lived a good life (before).â€? Ndokorwa said he received government support for three months when he arrived; he now works for a staffi ng company and hopes to be hired soon. He was surprised to learn not all workers receive a paid holiday on the countryâ€™s Independence Day. â€œThe best here is the security; now we are safe,â€? he noted. A war had also broken out in Burundi where his family had fled to safety. Ndokorwa is surprised to see immigrants on both sides of ethnic wars in Africa living peacefully together in the U.S. â€œWhen we arrived here, because of the love, we have to respect each other,â€? Ndokorwa said.

Resettlement agencies open the door to â€˜huddled massesâ€™ There are five organizations that resettle refugees in Minnesota â€” Arrive Ministries, Catholic Charities, the International Institute of Minne-

sota, Lutheran Social Services and the Minnesota Council of Churches. When refugees arrive in the U.S., they transition to residents. They shed their association as refugees and become Minnesotans, said Melody Ward, refugee program specialist with the Minnesota Council of Churches, at an Understanding the Refugee Experience event hosted by White Bear Lake United Methodist Church (UMC) earlier this year. â€œRefugees are just like you and me,â€? Ward said. â€œThey kiss their babies the way I kissed my babies.â€? Refugees are defi ned as those forced to flee their country because of persecution, war or violence, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The UNHCR selects which refugees to resettle abroad based on those whose lives are judged most at risk in their host countries. Refugees cannot apply for resettlement and cannot pick their country of resettlement. Refugees need to prove what they went through and why they fear to return to their home country, Ward said. The U.S. also conducts its own vetting process. If a refugee is approved,

the U.S. Department of State will refer their case to one of nine resettlement agencies. Those agencies connect refugees with state resettlement agencies. Refugees are granted a travel loan for the price of their travel to the U.S., which they need to pay back to the government, Ward said. Eighty-six percent of refugees pay it back in full. Agencies have 30 to 90 days to help settle refugees into their new life. Each person gets a $925 resettlement grant from the government, which is managed by the agency, to set up their home. The agency connects them with local services and gives cultural orientations. Many agencies accomplish this through volunteers. â€œThey have had to come through a lot of hard things to get to this point â€” to land in the United States,â€? Ward said. Refugees can apply for their

green card after one year and citizenship after five years, according to Arrive Ministries. Recent large refugee populations in Minnesota include the Somali and Karen people. Somalis fled civil war and Karen fled ethnic genocide in Myanmar. The average amount of time someone spends as a refugee before being settled in Minnesota is about 15 years, Ward noted. For many Karen families, it was 25-plus years. Their children grew up in refugee camps surrounded by tall fences. One of the Karen immigrants Ward worked with said, â€œIâ€™m so happy that we donâ€™t have to be scared and run from the enemy anymore. I donâ€™t feel like we will die here.â€? The U.S. has the largest refugee resettlement program in the world. There are only three automatic disqualifiers: infection with active tuberculosis, felony-level crimes and terrorist activity. â€œWe still say it is your â€˜tired,â€™ â€˜huddled masses,â€™â€? Ward said, quoting the poem by Emma Lazarus inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. UNHCR reported 126,000 refugees taken in by about 35 countries in 2016. The U.S. received 85,000 refugees in fiscal year 2016, according to the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. is expected to receive fewer refugees this year as the 50,000 cap put forth by President Trump was reached this month, although it doesnâ€™t apply to family members. The U.S. has settled 3 million refugees over the past 30 years, according to the U.S. Department of State. Editorâ€™s note: This is part two of a three-part series on immigration.

Washington County attorney assists in preventing sex trafficking at Super Bowl BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

STILLWATER—It’s not an easy thing to talk about, but Imran Ali of the Washington County Attorney’s Office is a defender against sexual exploitation. Ali is part of a committee that will help address sex trafficking during the 2018 Super Bowl, held in Minneapolis. “The purpose of the group is to focus on the supply and demand for commercial sex in Minnesota,” Ali said via email interview. “Like with all sex trafficking efforts around the state, prevention and education are key components. Minnesota has done a remarkable job in educating the general public that sex trafficking is an issue here. Unfortunately, many still believe that sex trafficking is only confined to urban markets. That is why the education creates the awareness needed to fight this problem.” Ali joins a number of law enforcement officials, prosecutors, business leaders and advocates to bring awareness to the issue. While Ali said that there is no specific event that can be blamed for an increase in sex trafficking, any large increase in number of people will come with a corresponding increase in the

number of human trafficking incidences. “The buying and selling of human beings for sex is as much commerce as any other good that is sold,” Ali said. “If the demand exists, the supply will follow. Those who traffic our victims know this. And even some victims who are not trafficked know that an increase in demand means the supply must be met to address the demand. As a result, any event that would bring hundreds and thousands of people to an area would lead to an increase in the demand.” But the demand in Minnesota even when there’s not a national sporting event taking place is greater than many people realize. “In 2016, our office tracked 74,273 online solicitations for sex from one of the more prolific websites used (Backpage.com) for the Twin Cities,” Ali said. “In 2017, through June, our office has tracked 43,767 advertisements. In early January Backpage.com shut down the ‘escort’ section. Many thought this would lead to lower numbers. That was not the case. The advertisements have shifted to the personals and the numbers are on track to actually increase. Remember, this is just one website out of the several that seem to pop up.”

Before he began focusing on this work, Ali said he did not believe sex trafficking was a big issue in Washington County. “In 2015, we did not have any sex trafficking charges issued by our office,” he said. “In 2017, just through June, law enforcement has arrested and our office has charged 13 individuals for sex trafficking in Washington County. The victims have been as young as 13 and old as 55. That is why I say sex trafficking is here, it’s everywhere. When you start looking, you will find it.” Prosecuting these types of cases is not easy, but Ali and others at the Washington County Attorney’s Office have made it a priority within the last few years. “I can tell you that each case is different,” he said. “The victims that are recovered have been highly traumatized. Sometimes that victimization is prior to the commercial sexual exploitation, and sometimes it is directly from it. We are dealing with a group of people who may not want help and may not consider themselves a victim. You have to be patient. Prosecuting these cases is about doing what is right. The buying and selling of humans is not only unfair, it is immoral and illegal. So much focus is on the arresting and prosecution of the

trafficker ( I refuse to empower them and call them a ‘pimp.’) But the focus should also be on the demand for sex that exists. With all the stings being conducted in the metro, it should send a message to the buyers that law enforcement will find you and you will be prosecuted. This is the only way we can work on solving this problem.” In order to prevent or intervene in sex trafficking cases in the coming months, Minnesota law enforcement has been working closing with victim advocates and direct service providers. Washington County itself has been taking strides toward attacking this problem at the source. “I think we are doing amazing things in Washington County,” Ali said. “We are still urban, but not Hennepin or Ramsey County. We are able to try and do certain things that because of sheer volume, Ramsey and Hennepin may not be able to. It’s nice to be able to provide anything we can to help fight this problem.” Jackie Bussjaeger is the editor of the Forest Lake and St. Croix Valley Lowdown, and can be reached at 651-407-1229 or lowdownnews@presspubs.com.

LOOKING BACK Week of August 6 - 12, 2017 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society. 1917 The draft board for Ramsey county, consisting of J. H. Spink, Dr. McClanahan and J. W. Herrick, have been making good progress in the examination of the men called, but are now at a standstill because the supply of necessary blanks has given out. New supplies are expected immediately, however. 1942 Fun aplenty is assured all who attend the Washington County Fair, which will begin at Crocus Park, Bayport, this morning, closing Sunday evening... One of the most realistic western shows of the screen is “The Spoilers” which is at The Avalon tonight and tomorrow night...Ralph Rademacher has closed his part of the automobile business of Rademacher & Nelson. Mr. J. A. Nelson will continue the garage and gasoline business. ... 1967 Amid tears, laughter and thunderous applause, Lynda Harrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Harrison, 5300 East Avenue, Bald Eagle, was crowned Miss White Bear Lake of 1967 at the luau-coronation pageant at Memorial Beach last Saturday evening. The jeweled crown was placed on her head by Grace Garley, Miss White Bear Lake of 1966 as the other contestants ecstatically crowded around her... “Shall special licenses be granted for the sale of intox-

icating liquor on Sundays in the City of White Bear Lake, Minnesota?” This is the question which will greet voters at the polls next Tuesday. White Bear Lake residents will decide if they wish their two restaurants, which seat over 50 people, to serve liquor on Sunday. 1992 About 30 White Bear Township Beach neighborhood residents attended a Town Board meeting Aug. 3 to defeat a “bed and breakfast” facility proposed

for the corner of Highway 96 and Park Avenue...The planning commission recommended changing town code and granting the permit, but 90 minutes of often heated resident opposition at the board meeting persuaded town supervisors to reject the proposed bed and breakfast and leave town code intact.

Children’s theater kickoff

SUBMITTED

The CPA show choir starts Sept. 18 and runs every Monday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. through Dec. 4 at Lakeshore Players Theatre in White Bear Lake. The program offers singing and dancing for ﬁfth through 12th graders. An ice cream social Aug. 13 in Hugo kicks off the season.

Congratulations to the White Bear Lake 17-19U AA baseball team for winning the Tier 1 League Championship game on Sunday, July 30th.

Children’s Performing Arts (CPA) will hold its annual ice cream social event at Hanifl Fields in Hugo on Sunday, Aug. 13 from 6-8 p.m. This event is held in celebration of the season kick off of CPA’s Legacy Program, and features root beer floats and a viewing of the movie their play selection is based upon. This year, the Legacy Program will stage a production of Madagascar Jr. Performances of the play will be the weekend of Feb. 9-11 at Forest Lake High School and will be open to the public (details and ticket information will follow in a later edition). The Legacy Program runs September through February. This isn’t your typical theater program – all children who register are able to participate. In order for CPA’s programs to feel successful, they feel that every child should experience personal growth within the range of skills they teach. CPA works as a team to layer skills and

work collaboratively to enrich each child’s artistic development. CPA’s goal is that every child feels a part of the whole production and that each child learns that every role within a production is important. In addition, they want their students to take the communication skills, task commitment, discipline, and self confidence gained from their program and apply it to their daily life at home, at school, and within their community. CPA believes that these skills enrich the lives of the child, their families, and their communities. Children’s Performing Arts is still accepting registrations for the Legacy Program through Aug. 31 (or until they reach capacity).

Former Bear goalie’s business success Unreal BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Just six years ago, Michael E. Jordan was a backup goaltender for the White Bear Lake hockey team. Today, he runs an apparel company that lists the Bears among 115 hockey teams on its client list. UNRL also sells its identity clothing wares in the arenas of three NHL teams, the local Dellwood golf club where he once caddied, and Hockey Day Minnesota, among other venues. “I came up with ‘Unreal,’ because that’s what people say about something that’s awesome, out of this world,” says Jordan, who modified it to the more intriguing UNRL later. His brand name could also describe what the 24-year-old has built in less than four years. “I started it with a vision all the potential this brand carries, and all the different possibilities we’re capable of fulfi lling,” said Jordan. “We are still a long ways away from our potential, but I’m enjoying every second of the process.” His hometown paper recently visited UNRL headquarters in downtown St. Paul, a couple blocks from the Xcel Center where his beloved Wild play. A half-dozen employees, fit and trim in their early 20s, busied themselves as we talked. A row of identity clothing adorned one wall including a couple NHL jerseys, a Hockey Day Minnesota shirt and Forest Lake hockey jersey. “There was something special about him. I can always tell pretty quickly which people are going to be successful,” said Jordan Leopold about Jordan. “That’s a pretty competitive business, sports apparel, and at fi rst I thought he was nuts, but before long he was ‘killing it.’ He has what it takes.” Yes, Jordan Leopold, the former Mr. Hockey, Gopher star, and 13-year NHL player helped give UNRL a major boost four years ago. More on that later. The UNRL core group among a dozen employees primarily consists of Mankato State alumnus: Travis Swan (Sales Director), Alex Fenner (Office Administrator), a Russian emigre, Alex Podorov (Digital Marketing / Programmer), and Cody Thurman (Distribution Specialist). Jordan hired his mother, Laura, to handle the books, a task she also held for the family’s commercial construction fi rm. Shirt design, meanwhile, is the province of Jordan himself. He maps out every piece of each garment on a computer screen. Jordan got started at age 13 developing websites and apparel for “guys I caddied for at Dellwood.” He got some valuable help from former Bears hockey coach Derek Cooper, who does embroidery and silk-screen with his wife Randi. “He helped me out back when I didn’t have anything but an idea,” said Jordan, “and he still does a good portion of our decoration work. He’s among the best around.” Jordan had a sobering setback before his early success. During his freshman year at Minnesota State-Mankato, impatient to get into the game, he started a venture to produce apparel via the dye-sublimation process. He partnered up with a Twin Cities man that he prefers not to name. “I told him I’ll run the business and handle the design work and you produce and distribute product. We split 50-50,” Jordan recalled. He dropped out of college and spent a year and a half “working sunup

to sundown” before problems with the partner got in the way. Unable to settle issues via arbitration, he pulled the plug, and found himself in a pickle. “I was a 19 year old college dropout. All of my licensing opportunities were lost and I was 50 grand in debt between attorney’s fees and student loans.” Undaunted, he attended a tech school to obtain a license to appraise real estate and got a job from a golf acquaintance. At the same time, he and a college friend, Travis Swan, hatched the business that would become UNRL, a concept they had discussed a year and a half earlier. They started with a website, designing and selling T-shirts, then moved into making their own clothing with their own distinct stamp. “Instead of learning from a classroom,” he says now, about the aftermath of that hiccup at age 19, “I took a real-world crash course about operations, negotiations, product development and manufacturing, logistics, licensing agreements, partnerships, travel, exhibition shows, and client services. My fi rst company never saw its potential, but the invaluable experience I gained has helped shape me into who I am now.” Three months in to that venture, Jordan got a game-changing phone call while working at his appraisal job.

“I hear you’re the T-shirt guy and I need some t-shirts,” the voice said. “I can do that,” Jordan replied. “But who is calling?” “This is Jordan Leopold.” Almost floored to get a cold call from his boyhood hero, Jordan slipped out of the office. He wasn’t supposed to leave, but had to take this call outside. Leopold was a friend of Tom Katt, Jordan’s godfather. Katt used to host Rowdy Cowboy country music shows that were enjoyed by several Gopher skaters, including Leopold. “Give my nephew a call about those T-shirts,” Katt had suggested. “I need some T-shirts for my buddies in the locker room, for our fantasy football league,” said Leopold, who was playing for the St. Louis Blues late in his NHL career. Leopold requested a logo in keeping with his nickname “Torso” and Jordan came up with one adapted from a cartoon character. The shirts were a hit with the guys, Leopold said, and soon after, they placed another order to “prank” their coach, Ken Hitchcock. “Hitch had this generic sweatshirt somebody gave him and he wore it all the time,” Leopold said. “It SEE UNREAL, PAGE 6B

Specialty shots you need to know While most people spend time on the range hitting a variety of clubs, rarely do they practice hitting a variety of shots. Part of the reason, I suspect, is they don’t have to hit these shots Tee Time on a regular basis. This should be all the Betsy more reason to practice them. Larey In earlier columns, I suggested that instead of playing your usual round, you mix it up and try a variety of shots you never hit. So often I see players use the same wedge with the same shot around every green. If you carry three wedges, you have six different shots alone by nothing more than ball placement forward or back in your stance. One of the reasons the European players do so well when the Ryder Cup is in their backyard is because they are used to playing in all kinds of weather on all types of turf. They are forced to hit different shots by default, compared to players in this country who play on perfectly mani-

cured lawns. What types of shots would you like to learn how to hit? The one I get the most requests for is the knockdown shot. If you don’t know how to hit this shot and you are playing on a particularly windy day, this one will come in handy when trying to keep something on the green. The knockdown shot is nothing more than an abbreviated full swing. The idea is to keep the ball low and out of the wind. To do this correctly, start by narrowing your stance. This promotes more of a pinching sensation through impact. Next, choke down on the club about an inch or so. The grip pressure should be a little more fi rm; about 6 on a scale of 1 light/ 10 tight. The backswing and forward swing should be no more than three-quarters. This motion gives you a little more control. Another weapon that should be in your bag is a punch shot. If you’re playing well, this probably won’t be needed. But if the occasion arises, you’ll be glad to know how to hit it. First, try to visualize what you’re trying to do. Most often you’ll be trying to hit underneath a tree limb and get back in the fairway. First,

play the ball back in your stance. The swing stays low on your backswing and your follow through. The shaft should not go any higher than your hips. To hit this shot correctly, make sure the shaft stays pointing at the target through impact. The abbreviated follow-through will take a tremendous amount of resistance through the impact area, but is the key to keeping the shot low. Use a 5 or a 6 iron. I’ve written about how to hit bunker shots successfully, but waste bunkers are a different swing altogether. Instead of hitting the sand fi rst and exploding the ball out of the bunker, you need to pick the ball and take as little sand as possible. Start by playing the ball farther forward in your stance, with the blade and your stance square at address. You still want to wiggle your feet to secure your stance. The secret to hitting this shot correctly is to keep your lower body as still as possible on your backswing. I actually turn my knees inward and lock them to prevent a weight shift. Your backswing should be a little slower and a little abbreviated. This allows you to pick the ball with as little sand as possible.

Another bunker shot you’ll occasionally get is a plugged ball right below the lip, or front edge. It’s not hard if you know what to do. You’ll probably have one foot in and one foot out. Close the face of your sand wedge completely then take your grip. You’re going to chop straight down on the ball as if you were chopping wood. It won’t go far but it will come out. Try it, it’s fun and it works. So the next time you go out to practice, try these shots and see if you can make them part of your game. You’ll play with more confidence if you do. If you have a topic you’d like me to write about, please send me an email and I’ll do my best. Betsy Larey is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional who has taught adults and juniors for years.

Two Bear skaters invited to USA festival in Lake Placid BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake hockey standouts Calla Frank and Sydney Shearen will participate in the exclusive U18 USA Hockey Women's National Festival Aug. 8-14 in Lake Placid, N.Y. Frank, a goalie, and Shearen, a forward, are among 31 invited players from 15 states at the Festival, including seven members the USA U18 team that won the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) tournament this year. “We are super excited,” said Shearen. “It’s been so much fun!” Twenty-two of the 31 players will be selected for a USA team that will duel Canada on Aug. 17-20 and will compete in the next IIHF World Championships in Russia in January.

Both have verbally committed to Division I teams — Shearen to the Minnesota Gophers, and Frank to Minnesota State-Mankato. “These two kids are great kids, they work really hard, and they are a couple of the best hockey players in the United States,” said Jason Healy, the principal of Hugo Elementary, which both girls attended. “I feel honored that my daughter gets to play with Sydney Shearen them.”

In their sophomore season last winter, Shearen notched 25 goals and 21 assists and Frank posted a 1.47 goals-against-average and .950 save percentage for the Bears (17-11). The invited players survived cuts made at each of four events, starting in the spring. “We had a tryout camp, and then a couple of scrimmages, and then a camp, in Maine,” said Shearen. “Now this (the Festival) will be the fi fth Calla Frank thing.”

gave him and he wore it all the time,” Leopold said. “It just said ‘Hockey’ on it, not St. Louis Blues or anything like that. So we had Michael duplicate it and we all wore it at practice. Hitch just swore at us and we had a good laugh.” Jordan told Leopold his dream was to get a licensing deal with the NHL. The hockey star suggested starting with the Wild and pulled some strings to set up a meeting. Leopold even attended the meeting with Jordan, wore his sample jersey and sang his praises. “So they gave me a shot,” said Jordan. He had that fi rst NHL licensing deal, not yet 21 years old. Leopold offered to stay on as a spokesman and Jordan happily accepted. “He sat in on meetings, asked a lot of questions, and was intrigued about the way things worked,” said Jordan. Leopold said he was immediately impressed by the young ex-goalie’s drive and demeanor. “There was something special about him. I can always tell pretty quickly which people are going to be successful. That’s a pretty competitive

business, sports apparel, and at fi rst I thought he was nuts, but before long he was ‘killing it.’ He has what it takes.” UNRL’s fi rst offering for the Minnesota Wild, a SilkSeries sublimated sweatshirt, sold out surprisingly fast despite the high price point of $99. Shortly after, they released a second version of the sweatshirt that completely sold out the weekend it was released. “We want to create fan-centric apparel that is unique and superior to what currently exists,” said Jordan, who was wearing an UNRL polo shirt when we talked, showing off the seamless design and synthetic fabrics that “fit your body like a glove.” High school teams saw the Minnesota Wild products and started calling to ask for similar items. UNRL has outfitted 80 hockey teams in Minnesota, including White Bear Lake, and 35 more out of state. They also deal in corporate apparel including custom merchandise designed for Coyote Logistics and Ecolab. For his hometown teams, UNRL supplied head-to-toe custom apparel sets for the varsity and many of the association teams, including winter knits, ball caps, jackets, sublimated

sweatshirts, technical sweatpants, polos and zip-ups, workout apparel and custom sandals. They recently added lacrosse items and signed a preliminary deal with the Bears. UNRL’s deal with the Wild led to another key client, Hockey Day Minnesota; currently they’re working on Hockey Day 2018 in St. Cloud. “The Wild approached us two years ago about Hockey Day,” Jordan said. “They told us, ‘You’re local guys, you understand what all this means. Help us develop a brand.’ This is a whole subsidiary now.” This caught the attention of the Chicago Black Hawks, who wanted something similar, and UNRL started a new Chicago Hockey brand. You’d think that Jordan studied guys like Microsoft founder Steve Jobs or Nike founder Phil Knight for ideas and inspiration. Not so. He admits to have started a biography on each but “I never fi nished. I’m just too busy!” Many UNRL products are produced in Minnesota, but they also have 14 manufacturing partners in Asia. Jordan spent most of this past March working in four Chinese factories, teaching the staff exactly how to

produce their items. “Their quality, attention to detail, and workmanship is second to none,” said Jordan. UNRL apparel is sold at the White Bear Yacht Club and Dellwood pro shops and he’s looking forward to the planned opening of a downtown store next March. “The Minnesotan” is a project by a Forest Lake businessman, Corey Roberts, who contacted Jordan about selling his products there. “The Minnesotan will be a collection of items that embody the lifestyle we all live,” he said, including an “exclusive collection … that pays homage to the city of White Bear Lake.” In two varsity seasons with White Bear Lake, Jordan started 15 games in the nets, and the Bears won 10 of them. His coach, Tim Sager, glimpsed his potential to make his way in the world beyond the rink. “It does not surprise me that he has a very successful business. Michael always had a great work ethic and took a lot of pride in his preparation,” said Sager. “He also had great peer relationships with his teammates.

County nixes boat park idea Ramsey County Parks and Recreation has nixed the idea of a boat park by Ramsey Beach put forth by a few residents who are troubled by boaters near a Dellwood peninsula. “I am responding to your idea about a boat park next to the beach at White Bear Lake County Park,” reads a letter from Jon Oyanagi, director of Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, to Patrick Igo, a resident who put the idea forward. “Our staff met to discuss the idea and whether this might be feasible. After much discussion, there is a list of reasons why we think the idea would not work in this location.” Among the reasons why the county would not support the boat park is compromised safety, Oyanagi wrote. The boat park would be “sandwiched” between two swim areas that need 100 foot buffers and would draw increased boat activity to the area. There is also private property next to the proposed boat park and the proposed area is a natural buffer. Oyanagi also noted that the area is too shallow. Additionally, the area is used by windsurfers due to the wind conditions and bringing in boaters would not be compatible. He also said there

New Eagle Scout Thomas Atkins, 16, of White Bear Lake, has earned the Eagle Scout Award, the highest advancement rank within the Boy Scouts of America. Thomas, who just completed his sophomore year at Mahtomedi High School, is a member of Troop 433. For his service project, Thomas partnered with an organization called Brittany’s Hope to collect vitamins, overthe-counter medicine, toys and school supplies to send to an orphanage in Ben Tre, Vietnam, where his youngest sister spent the first 15 months of her life. In addition to Boy Scouting, Thomas is active in his church, high school math team, jazz band and has been a White Bear Press carrier for over five years.

would be an increased load on amenities in the area such as restrooms and parking that is not part of the county’s master plan. Oyanagi said it sounded like the idea would just move the boater congregation issue from one area to another. “I hope you are able to fi nd an acceptable solution to the dilemma,” Oyanagi concluded. The area has had several proposals, he noted. One was a dog beach. “We are not excited about that idea, either, for many of the same reasons listed above,” Oyanagi said. Igo, of Gem Lake, along with friend Luke Michaud, of White Bear Township, approached the White Bear Lake Conservation District (WBLCD) with the boat park idea in July. Their objective was twofold: To move people away from the tip of the Dellwood peninsula and the homeowner tired of the partying at the end of his dock; and to offer boaters a better place to socialize.

Into the wind; author tacks headlong into first novel YOU SHOULD KNOW:

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Persistence is not Jane Fredericksen’s middle name; but it could be. The Mahtomedi author knew she had a book in her, it just took 15 years to come out. Called “Redemption’s Run,” her fi rst novel has already garnered media attention. The adventure story was selected out of 150 entries for the StarTribune’s 2017 summer series that just wrapped up Aug. 6. Every day, the newspaper published a couple pages of Fredericksen's book online and in its Variety section. The company retains all rights to her book, but Fredericksen said the compensation was fair and the arrangement allowed her to work with experienced editors and art directors. According to the author, this is the fi fth year the StarTribune has published a summer serial to help promote a strong literary community in the Twin Cities. Fredericksen tried pitching the story line early on to Hollywood as a screenplay and got some nibbles, but no bites. “I felt some things needed to be reworked so I pulled it from the market,” recalled the author. “I got serious a couple years ago and thought 'OK, I’m going to try it as a novel.'” Here is a synopsis of her book: “Twelve-year-old Kacie Aldrich has never known her father. She sketches him as a pirate, based on her mother's romantic stories and dreams of the day he will return to their hometown of Bayfi eld, Wisconsin. When her mom suddenly dies, Kacie’s dreams are shattered. She fears for her future, until a mysterious young

captain hangs a wind chime on her mother's casket. That's when Kacie believes she has found her pirate.” The story goes on to tell of Kacie’s search for answers by stowing aboard the man’s boat, Redemption. “Her desperate actions drive them into the heart of the storm to confront old ghosts, long-buried secrets and the unholy wrath of Lake Superior.” “Redemption's Run,” the author said, is a “heartfelt story” of how family can run beyond blood and how redemption can come in unfathomable ways. Fredericksen set her novel in one of her favorite places, the Apostle Islands along Superior’s south shore. “I can feel my blood pressure drop whenever I'm near the lake,” she said. “It is so wild and unpredictable. Having sailed it, you really learn to respect it. It is its own entity; a terrible force or peaceful and beautiful. I love that about it.” A fair weather sailor, Fredericksen uses the wind to help weave her tale. “Trusting the wind is a recurrent theme in the story,” she explained. “I think that’s an analogy to life. Sometimes we don’t know where we’re going or where the story is going to take us in our life, so we have to trust the wind and hope it takes us to where we’re meant to be.” During the school year, Fredericksen is a paraprofessional in special education at Mahtomedi Middle

School. She worked in radio for 20 years and freelanced for Press Publications, reporting on the arts and entertainment scene. “It helped me focus on deadlines,” she said. Her husband, Bruce Fredericksen, is a video producer. They have two sons, Noel and Derek, both Mahtomedi High School grads. Noel, 28, is a chiropractor in the Twin Cities and Derek, 23, lives in Madison, Wisconsin. He teaches guitar and performs in “multiple bands, living his dream,” his mother said. The longtime resident, 60, has a lot to say about persistence when it comes to creative writing. “Don’t give up. And write from the heart to things that speak to you,” she said. “The secret to writing is to just sit down and do it,” added Fredericksen. “Don’t be afraid of it. Listen to the quiet whisper inside. The one that says, 'this idea might be really good.' “Look for the character or world

that won’t go away; that keeps coming back even after you shut the door, that startles you awake in the dead of night. Because the really good ones don’t let go.” The characters in “Redemption’s Run” are too good to let go, she said. That’s why Fredericksen plans both a prequel and sequel to her fi rst book; just like a good Hollywood movie script.

The entrance to Narnia is in...Maplewood Mall? BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER THE LOWDOWN EDITOR

MAPLEWOOD—This summer, Hugo-based community theater group Arts Garden will present “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,” but the venue is a little out of the ordinary. The classic C.S. Lewis story of a magical adventure into another world will take place in the former Deb store at Maplewood Mall. The show tells the story of the four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, and their adventures in the land of Narnia, a world they find through a mysterious wardrobe in the house of a rather odd professor. The show is co-directed by Kati Hoehl of White Bear Lake and Angela Brown of New Richmond, Wisconsin, both of whom have been in and directed previous Arts Garden shows. Hoehl has also been involved in Lakeshore Players productions as a box office assistant, costume assistant and actor. In addition to working with an uncommon venue, Hoehl and Brown have the added challenge of working with a large cast of 38. Most are from the Hugo, Forest Lake and White Bear Lake area, and range in age from eight to mid-60s. Due to the large interest in the show, the roles are double-cast, meaning that two actors alternate each role depending on the performance. “Because this show is double cast, blocking can be tricky,” Hoehl said. “We have to make sure both casts know what they are doing at all times. Additionally, if one person has a speaking role in one cast, they are in the ensemble in the other, so this can make blocking even more difficult.” “We have a huge cast, and finding a way to make each of them shine can be tricky,” Brown added. “Also, this

show tends to be a little more on the serious side, so trying to create believable characters can be difficult.” However, both stated that this can result in a more dynamic audience experience. “If members of the audience come to the show multiple times they will see a completely different cast performing, which gives the show a whole new feeling each night,” Hoehl explained. Brown said she is excited to see the production come to life, especially because it blends such a unique variety of costumes, set pieces and people together to “combine them into an amazing production.” “It’s very exciting to bring more traditional theater to Arts Garden, because we generally produce musical theater or music showcases,” Hoehl said. “I love showing the participants at Arts Garden a different side of theater, where the focus is on creating unique, believable characters.” As for addressing the untraditional venue, adaptability is one of the core values of theater. “The space is certainly unconventional; it is a large, open room with a few sets of pillars inside,” Hoehl said. “However, with a few curtains, some platforms and your imagination, it easily transforms into a gorgeous performance space.” “The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe will have six performance options: 7 p.m. Aug. 10, 7 p.m. Aug. 11, 2 & 7:30 p.m. Aug. 12 and 2 & 7:30 p.m. Aug. 13. You can pre-order your tickets by texting Kati Hoehl at 651-529-6802. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students. Tickets are available at the door, but space is limited. SUBMITTED

A heavy and welcomed rain moved over much of the 61° northern and eastern Metro on Thursday, August 4, dumping 1/2 inch Low to 1 1/2 inches. Cooler and fall-like temperatures accompanied the %Sun 70% rain and Thursday’s daytime high was only 57°! The temperatures PCP 0.81” rebounded for the weekend, but evening instability showers put a damper on outdoor activities. Overall it was a nice break from the heat and humidity. The local bee keeper was a bit upset as his bees enjoy the heat of the summer. Can’t make everyone happy.
