T Pérez-Hedges vies for District 65B seat By Leonor Villasuso Rustad Contributor

aría Isa Pérez-Hedges, acclaimed musician and native of St. Paul’s West Side, has thrown her hat into the ring for this year’s state House race in District 65B, which includes downtown, the West Side and the West Seventh area of St. Paul. The seat is held by Carlos Mariani, DFL. Now in his 16th term, Mariani is not seeking re-election. Pérez-Hedges will seek the DFL endorsement. Pérez-Hedges’s priorities include education, healthcare, affordable housing, employment and supporting community organizations and artists. Her goal for the public education system is to enable students from immigrant families, communities of color, and lowincome families to flourish and succeed. She supports a healthcare system that is affordable to all. She will push for public policy that protects renters and working-class families, and will support investment in high-quality affordable housing Pérez-Hedges / Page 2

he St. Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation, the promoter of the St. Paul Winter Carnival, has a new leader calling the shots. Lisa Jacobson started as CEO of the nonprofit this fall and is now entrenched in overseeing her first Winter Carnival, taking place Jan. 28-Feb. 6. Jacobson succeeds Deb Schaber, who held the position for four years. She beat out more than 80 candidates for the full-time job, which involves fundraising, coordinating efforts with the City and other stakeholders, and managing a two-person staff and a crew of volunteers. Jacobson said that the looming shadow of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced her to think outside the box as she and her staff work to bring the Carnival back to its traditional format. Last year’s Carnival was a hybrid drive-through event held at the State Fairgrounds. “I’ve worked in community development for nonprofits for over a decade,” said Jacobson. “This was a chance to take what I loved about previous jobs and roll it into one position. It’s been hard enough to plan everything but we’re also needing to make back-up plans. We want to have a safe and fun 10 days for the community.” Jacobson is a Minnesota native and has always been a fan of festivals. Growing up in Robbinsdale she attended Whiz Bang Days.

URBAN EXPLORER:

Can Can Wonderland offers indoor retro fun on a cold winter’s day Jake Spitzack Staff Writer

put my car into park and with scrunched eyebrows suspiciously peeked out my windows. I had followed my GPS to the tee and saw the words “Can Can Wonderland” painted on the side of an old warehouse in the Midway area of St. Paul, but the parking ramp I was

now in was oddly silent and dark. I left my car and made my way to a crude metal door that had a sign pointing to the arcade. When I pulled the door open, I stepped into another world. I found myself in a line of people amidst a tidal wave of chatter coming from a nearby room. I leaned around the crowd to catch a glimpse of the source of the commo-

tion but was unsuccessful. Not until I had a wristband strapped on was I able to enter the fun zone. The first thing I went for was the famed mini golf course. Club and ball in hand, I played through 18 obstacles, each individually crafted by an artist and sporting a different theme, from the State Fair and natural disasters to music and

sports. Traveling through the course was like delving deeper into a maze, and each turn revealed fun, unexpected themes and strategies. Next I went to the arcade and tested my skill at pinball, Ms. Pac-Man and other video games, enjoying not having to feed the machines with coins. There was also air hockey, a shooting game, car karaoke, and some racing

games that humbled me. In the far back of the arcade was a small room with seemingly ancient games. It was fun to imagine when they were state-of-the-art machines. With my eyes needing a break and my stomach grumbling, I visited the food court and placed an order. After about 15 minutes I picked up my pizza and brought it to the dining area,

which was decorated for an upcoming birthday party. From prior research, I knew the dining area was added in 2018 and is used for special events. The food was classic arcade fare: greasy but it hit the spot. To top off my meal, I visited the wall of self-serve taps and poured myself a glass of beer, watching as Can Can / Page 2

the price ticked up on the lighted display, like numbers rising on a gas pump. I then returned to the arcade and tested my luck at some hunting games and a Jurassic Park shooting game. Although Can Can was busy, I never had to wait to use a game my entire time there. While the overall experi-

ence can get a bit pricey for a couple or family, I found it to be a warm and enjoyable way to spend a cold winter afternoon. Can Can Wonderland is the first arts-based public benefit corporation in Minnesota, with proceeds benefiting the artist community of the Twin Cities.

Pérez-Hedges also supports programs that help small businesses and workers recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; raise funds to build a museum of Latino art on the West Side to showcase the history and legacy of Minnesota’s Latino residents; and work closely with local artists and com-

munity organizations on initiatives that provide economic opportunities. From a young age, PérezHedges has been a vital part of the Twin Cities’ music scene. Her style fuses Latin rhythms with urban rap. She has opened for a number of acts, including The Roots, Bad Bunny, Common, Moby, Bomba Estéreo, Sheila E, Kendrick

It is named after the former tenant of the building: American Can Company, which dates to 1889 and once manufactured cans for Carnation, Campbell’s Soup, Del Monte and others.

Did you know? The Minnesota State Capitol has the second largest self-supported marble dome in the world, second only to the Basilica of St. Peter’s in Rome. The current building is the third to serve as the State Capitol. The Minnesota Territory Legislature held its first meetings in 1849 in a log hotel, then five years later moved into the newly constructed Capitol building. In 1881, that building was destroyed by a fire that broke out during a legislative session. The second Capitol was completed in 1883 but proved to be too small for the state’s needs. It also had problems with its ventilation system. The current building, designed by the distinguished American architect Cass Gilbert, opened in 1905 and was last renovated in 2017. Guided tours are offered on the hour, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Monday-Friday; self-guided tours are available between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. For more information, call 651-296-2881 or visit www.mnhs.org/capitol.

Postscript

Bad Jokes My Uncle Andy recently turned 90, and it was hard to imagine what a guy would like for his 90th birthday. Getting a lot of new stuff at age 90 doesn’t sound very appealing. Andy is in the process of getting rid of stuff, a job made more challenging by the fact that neither he nor his wife, Bea, have any children to fob the stuff off on. Andy and Bea live in the farmhouse where my mom was raised, and we were stumped when the subject of a 90th birthday present came up. “What does Andy like?” I

asked my mom. “Bad jokes,” she answered. “How about a book of bad jokes? We could make one as a family.” I put out the call for bad

jokes on the family’s Facebook page. At first, I heard nothing. I don’t know many jokes and was worried I’d have to make a joke book by myself in time for the party in the small country church near the old farmhouse. Then I got an email from my cousin Sarah. What do you a call a deer with one eye? A one-eyed deer. What do you call a deer with no eyes? No eye deer! And the floodgates were opened. What’s brown and sticky? A stick. Who’s bigger? Mr. Bigger or Mr. Bigger’s Baby?

Mr. Bigger’s Baby! He’s just a little bigger. I was flooded with jokes. Shaggy dog jokes, knockknock jokes, and Ole and Lena jokes. I got lots of jokes about farms since Andy is a retired farmer. What did the cow say to the calf? It’s pasture bedtime. Before it was over, I had a book filled with terrible jokes sent in by Andy’s family. I was glad we had done it, glad my family had come through, glad they’d all chipped in to give Andy something to laugh about on the occasion of his 90th. The New Year is upon us, and I don’t think I’m the

only one who needs a little more to laugh about. I usually have no trouble finding the upside, but lately there seems to be more bad news than I can process in any given day. It’s easy to believe, looking out on the gray weather and reading the dire news, that this year might not bring all the good things I hope for, that this year might let me down, that there might not be as much to look forward to as there has been in past years. And I guess that’s where bad jokes come in. Andy broke his leg not too long ago and is still using a walker to get around. We wonder how long he and Bea will be able to stay at the farmhouse on a lonely country road outside of town. But

as I sat there watching Bea and Andy laughing at terrible jokes and eating birthday cake, I realized they understood all of this. For me, most of what makes a good year good, and a bad year bad, has nothing to do with the big picture. Most of it has to do with how I feel and behave in any given day, at any given moment. And sometimes, all that is needed to change that moment is a reason to laugh. Sometimes all that is needed is to laugh for no reason at all. People say they pick their nose, but I feel I was born with mine. For no reason at all, that made my day.
