Hugo Fire Department thanks donors

HUGO—The Hugo Fire Department (HFD) couldn’t be more thankful to the businesses and residents who have made their dangerous job a bit safer.

As a result of the community’s generosity, HFD has been able to purchase new equipment/gear to insure its fi refighters are protected against carcinogens.

Firefighting is a dangerous profession in more ways than one. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recently undertook two large studies focused on cancer in firefighters and concluded that firefighters face a 9 percent increase in cancer diagnoses, and a 14 percent increase in cancer-related deaths, compared to the general population in the United States.

The Fire Relief Association’s primary purpose is to manage fi refighter’s pensions, but it also tries to raise funds for equipment/gear that is needed in the industry, but not covered in the city’s budget.

The main fundraiser is the HFD calendar, now in its 17th edition.

Businesses can choose to purchase ad space or donate, and residents can also donate.

Retired engineer has trains in his blood

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

After a 43-year career driving trains, a local engineer says trains “are in his blood.”

Bruce Lemay, a longtime resident of Hugo, made his fi nal trip with Amtrak and retired on July 10.

Lemay is a third-generation “train guy.” His grandpa was a traveling storekeeper and his father was a floorman in the car department for Milwaukee Railroad.

“It gets in your blood. I really enjoyed operating the trains and

having the opportunity to train people and make a difference in their lives,” he said.

Despite the fact both his grandfather and father worked in the industry, Lemay was not always convinced his career would involve trains. He started working for Burlington Northern doing section work in the summer of 1973 and began working with his dad at Milwaukee Railroad in the summer of 1974.

In 1975, he attended St. Cloud Technical College to pursue a two-year degree in business

administration. “Once I realized I could have a long-lasting career with the railroad, I was all in,” Lemay said.

He became a brakeman/conductor for Milwaukee Railroad and four years later became an engineer, driving from St. Paul to Duluth. In 1987 he switched over to Amtrak, where he worked until he retired. In the beginning of his career, he did trips from St. Cloud to Milwaukee and in his later years he travelled from St. Cloud to Winona and from SEE ENGINEER, PAGE 23

Don’t let swimmer’s itch scratch out your summer fun

BY GRETCHEN NEEDHAM NORTH OAKS NEWS EDITOR

On a hot and humid summer day, the waters of our local lakes look cool and inviting. But a quick dip to beat the heat may come at a price: many of Minnesota’s watering holes are hotbeds for a pesky parasite that leaves swimmers anything but refreshed.

Swimmer’s itch, also known as “duck itch” or “lake itch,” is the common term for cercarial dermatitis, is a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to parasites stemming from aquatic birds and mammals.

Swimmer’s itch life cycle

The parasite’s trek begins with infected animals— usually ducks, geese and swans as well as muskrats and beavers. The parasite produces eggs that are shed with the animals’ droppings into the lake water. Those hatching eggs transform into larvae who seek out aquatic snails for the next phase of their life cycle. The infected snails now release the parasite into the water in the form of free-swimming cercariae (from the Greek kerkos, “tail”), who are looking for waterfowl once again. The cercariae burrow into the skin of their host, not caring whether it is duck skin or human skin, in order to enter the animal’s bloodstream and begin the life cycle anew. Luckily for us, the larvae cannot develop inside humans and they soon die. But not before leaving behind red patches in the form of an itchy rash.

The swimmer’s itch–causing cercariae are transparent and only about 0.7 mm (1/32 inch) long, so they are essentially undetectable with the naked eye.

WWW.MAINE.GOV/DEP/WATER/LAKES/ITCH.HTML

The life cycle of the parasite begins most often with ducks or geese, who host the worms. The worms’ eggs travel through the waterfowl droppings into the lake water, where they hatch and seek out snails. The parasite then transforms into free-swimming creatures called cercariae, which are not particular as to which host they penetrate the skin of: duck, goose or unlucky human.

Treating water with copper sulfate

City and county officials may take steps to treat lakes if they’ve received complaints of swimmer’s itch. When added to the water, copper sulfate kills snails, thus reducing that needed link in the parasite’s life cycle. The use of copper sulfate is by no means a “silver bullet” or cure for swimmer’s itch for many reasons. First, the compound will only kill the snails present at the time of the application; any snails that enter the area afterward will not be affected and can easily become infected by the cercariae alive and swimming in the water. Second, there is some evidence that snails may be capable of developing resistance to copper sulfate, which would limit the effectiveness of the treatment. And since copper is a toxic heavy metal, long-term, heavy applications of copper sulfate can pose a signifi cant threat to the health of aquatic environments.

Keep it deep and windy, if you can

Two tactics you can take to avoid swimmer’s itch are to swim in deeper areas, not the shallows near shore (where cercariae tend to congregate) and swim where there is an offshore breeze; cercariae are weak swimmers and have trouble attaching to hosts while being blown about by the wind.

Of course, if you’re hanging out with toddlers and babies by the beach, in waist-deep or shallower water, you certainly don’t have the luxury of escaping to deep and windy water.

Interestingly, the more days a person is in an infected body of water, the higher the chance of getting the skin irritation. And the greater the number of exposures to contaminated water, the more intense and immediate symptoms of swimmer's itch will be. Why? Like our reaction to poison ivy or poison oak, swimmer’s itch is a response of our immune system to an irritant. There is a built-in threshold for such irritants, and once a person’s limit

WWW.CDC.GOV/DPDX/

Cercariae of Austrobilharzia variglandis, which can cause cercarial dermatitis. Note the forked “tail” and a pair of “eye spots” near the anterior end (right).

to that irritation has been reached, an episode is certain—unless you’re one of the lucky 20-25 percent of the population who has no reaction to cercariae burrowing into the skin.

But why chance it? There are steps you can take to keep yourself and your family itch-free and in the waters this summers.

Preventative measures

The DNR recommends taking these precautions to help reduce the odds of getting swimmer's itch: • Keep waterfowl away from your dock and shoreline. If you are feeding waterfowl (ducks and geese) from your dock, stop!

• Apply a water repellant substance such as petroleum jelly, waterproof sunscreen or other skin oils to reduce the ability of the cercariae to penetrate the skin.

• Dry off with a towel as soon as you get out of the water. When you get out of the lake, don't let the water evaporate off your skin. The organism in the droplets of water on your skin will look for somewhere to go as the droplet of water evaporates.

Take these precautions whether or not the lake you are entering has been treated recently with copper sulfate; the application of that compound is not a panacea.

The mountains are calling and I must go

W

herever there are mountains, one particular quote from the famed naturalist John Muir seems to follow.

The line was in a letter to his sister in 1873, providing the perfect catchphrase for endless souvenir T-shirts, mugs and refrigerator magnets. The rest of the quote didn’t seem to be quippy enough for these purposes, but to many it contains a little more meaning than the abbreviated statement. It reads: “The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.”

It was less a call to escape to Getting the freedom of the mountains, and more a message of devotion in Tune to his work of studying Jackie Bussjaeger and protecting the natural environment.

Like Muir, I will follow the call of the mountains very soon. This August, I will begin classes in the Environmental Studies Master’s program at the University of Montana in Missoula, where I’m sure I will soon come to loathe the words “studying incessantly.”

As a result, I will no longer be the editor of the Forest Lake and St. Croix Valley Lowdown.

Having spent nearly three years working here, it’s a difficult change to make, because I’ve had enough time to become fully enchanted by the communities I’ve had the luck to cover. One of my favorite aspects of this job was the sheer variety and unpredictability of what I might get to see and do and learn on a day-to-day basis.

The opportunities I have had while working for The Lowdown are partially to credit for my pursuit of further education in environmental studies. Washington County has an incredible number of dedicated conservation professionals, in addition to an impressive proportion of citizens who have gone the extra mile to support the health of the natural environment in their communities.

Press Publications has also afforded me the distinguished honor of writing for my hometown newspaper, The White Bear Press.

It has enriched my understanding of my hometown and the interconnected communities around it far beyond what I could have imagined. In particular, the chances to explore F. Scott Fitzgerald’s connection to White Bear Lake; to learn about the history of the Metis people in Forest Lake while the city debated how to best recognize the legacy of Lake Keewahtin; and to interview Walter Mondale about his work to preserve the St. Croix River were priceless.

Although my program has a writing focus, it will be strange to not be a full-time journalist!

I don’t think the impulse to take photos at even the smallest events, “just in case,” will ever subside.

Though I’m stepping away from the position of editor, I hope to contribute freelance articles while I pursue my degree, and I always welcome story ideas from anyone in the community.

I owe a lot to both my talented coworkers (who were also my mentors) and to all of you who ever took the time to tell the most unique and important stories in Forest Lake and the St. Croix Valley.

The mountains are calling and I must go...but you have given me something wonderful to take with me!

Jackie Bussjaeger is editor of The Lowdown.

our life, your family, your choices, your dreams. Tax relief is about much more than dollars and cents; it is about empowering people. It is about you. Given the opportunity, passionate, hardworking people in Minnesota are the solution to many of our problems. For that to happen, the people of Minnesota need tax relief.

Tax relief is economic freedom Legislator and economic growth. Tax relief Lingo is higher wages, more jobs, more Roger opportunity and shared Chamberlain prosperity. That means more tax revenue, more money for roads and schools and more resources to help our most vulnerable citizens. A growing, diverse economy will mean more money for pensions, retirement plans and charitable giving.

We face historic challenges that we can no longer ignore. To overcome these challenges, we must change our tax policy and turn them into opportunities.

The most critical concern is a massive, fast-approaching shift in our demographic landscape. Baby boomers will

drive these changes as they begin retiring at a rate of 10,000 a day. With an aging population and declining fertility rates, our labor force will grow at an “unprecedented” low rate of only 0.1 percent, according to the state demographer.

The increasing number of retirees will lead to a reduction in income and sales tax revenues.

Most retirees will not pay income tax, and will buy less because they will have less income and will need less. At the same time, many seniors will require more government services such as health care and housing assistance.

Finally, for years Minnesota has been on the losing end of domestic migration. More people have been moving out of Minnesota than have been moving in. According to the state demographer, if not for immigration, Minnesota would be losing population.

A 2016 study conducted by Twin City Business magazine, in 2014 and 2015 Minnesota lost $2.1 billion in taxable income when residents moved out to other states.

The combination of retiring baby boomers, a shrinking labor force and competition for people to move here will put extreme pressures on our economic vitality. We cannot run from these numbers; as the saying

goes, “demographics are destiny.”

But we can prepare ourselves.

In May 2017, the legislature passed, and the governor signed the fi rst bipartisan tax relief bill in nearly 20 years. It represented the start of a new beginning for our state. Then in December, the president signed the fi rst federal tax relief in 30 years.

Together, both actions helped to strengthen Minnesota’s economy.

The state’s February revenue forecast showed a $500 million improvement from the previous report.

Empowering people, allowing hardworking Minnesotans to innovate and create, will strengthen and improve the lives of every citizen in our state.

From Main Street to the urban core, from farm to city, every Minnesotan can benefit.

The status quo of increasing taxes will not save us and solve these problems. Our state needs tax relief. A new vision is required; economic freedom, a wholesale change in mindset that puts you and your family fi rst, that allows you to create value for you, your family and community.

When we do that, all of us benefit, there will be shared prosperity and we will be ready to take on any and all challenges.

Making good choices is a constant effort required a trip to the store and the nearby farmers market. I intentionally included protein sources for salad toppings, such as tuna and garbanzo beans, so that it could serve as the main meal for those that didn’t want pizza. I was really happy that I made that salad happen; I didn’t have the pizza that night. There was so much salad that when Movers and we packed up our car the next day to drive Shakers across several states to get to our next destinaMegan Baumler tion, I packed up some of the salad and ate it for lunch on the road. Being on vacation is never a reason to forgo efforts towards healthful living, although it can become more challenging. I think of healthful living as being kind to yourself — why be less kind to yourself on vacation?

Another night on this trip, we found ourselves in a very nice hotel that did not have a microwave in the room. The lack of a microwave meant I couldn’t have my oatmeal in the morning (I travel with oats), unless I purchased it elsewhere. We had to purchase meals, morning, noon and night for the several days that we were in this hotel (on top of eating out many meals on the way to our destination, and on the way

home). We did have some nice meals out, but I ended up going to a grocery store and choosing some foods to have in the minifridge at the hotel that could tide us over so that we only had to eat out one meal a day. This worked out well, and I wished I had thought of it the first day. Yogurts for breakfast, and sushi, fruit and vegetables for lunch. My protein bars and nuts filled in for snack needs. When we made it back home from our trip, I was happier than I can ever recall to be reunited with my kitchen and have more control over my food choices.

Sometimes though, food appears in my house that I did not bring home or choose and is extremely tempting.

A good approach is to have a plan for when this occurs, rather than passively letting yourself be taken over by aromas and temptation that will be regretted later.

Tonight, we walked in the door after an evening bike ride. While we were gone, my husband had come home and made a frozen pizza. It smelled good, and it looked good. I wasn’t even hungry, but I ate three pieces. I wouldn’t describe the feeling I have as regret, but more of “that wasn’t worth it, I didn’t need that and that was not an intentional choice.” Not to be misunderstood — I purchase frozen pizzas sometimes, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with choosing frozen pizzas on occasion for dinner.

The point is that it was a passive move on my part to let temptation take over when I didn’t even really want the pizza. It was the end of the day, my guard was down, the salty tangy scent of the familiar comfort food appealed to som e reward center in my brain, and it just happened. I’d like to be in more control than that.

The unfortunate fact is that the effort to make good choices almost has to be constant, because we are endlessly bombarded with tempting foods. Over time though, with a plan in place and with lots of practice, we can become better at being in control of our food choices and staying on track with nutritional balance, even in challenging situations.

Let’s work together to make the best choices we can when we are inspired and on track, so that when we are challenged or in unique scenarios, an unintentional setback will not have a large effect or derail all efforts. I approach exercise with the same mentality — when I am able, I get my exercise in, so that when I’m in situations where I’m not able to be active, it is OK. Make room for these scenarios, but also have a plan in place to avoid them. Best wishes to you for your summer travels and healthful living!

he food deck is stacked against us. I don’t like to present a dismal, dark and foreboding picture, but unless you are proactive, intentional and well versed in good food choices, the nutritional quality of the food that we consume is not great.

These feelings are with me because of a trip I recently took when my efforts to eat well were especially challenged.

Often in summer, schedules are different, and we are out of our normal eating patterns and habits, which presents unique nutritional scenarios. If we stay on track by planning ahead though, and making intentional decisions about what we are eating, it is possible to stay steady with nutritious foods. I’d like to share a couple stories from a recent trip: what I think I did well on, and what I could have done better with and some suggestions should you fi nd yourself in need.

For part of our trip, we stayed in a house with my extended family. It was a blast, and we had some lovely meals that we prepared and ate together.

Given all the people there though, there was a lot of food and beverages to choose from, or to be chosen by.

One night the consensus was to order pizza- albeit really good pizza, I honestly did not want pizza (especially after lunch out at a brew pub). I volunteered to be in charge of a salad to go with the pizza — and a whopper of a salad I made, although it took some time and

HUGO POLICE REPORTS The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: • A couple’s drunken dispute over their upcoming separation may have hastened the process, according to a report filed at 1:11 p.m. July 9 in the 5000 block of 149th Street N. The female told deputies that her male combatant threw a cup at her; however, the male told deputies that it was she who fired the first cup — and it was cranberry juice. Deputies advised the couple to keep their distance from each other.

• Deputies seeking a suspect to arrest on a warrant at 8:10 p.m. July 9 in the 15000 block of Forest Blvd.

N. found a vehicle belonging to the suspect other than the one they had on file.

When deputies pointed out that the license plate on the newer vehicle didn’t match the vehicle on file, the subject’s mother told them she was not surprised, because her son had stolen license plates before.

The complainant told deputies that no mail in the box was harmed during the incident.

• Four plants valued at $60 were reported stolen overnight July 10-11 from the ground in the 15000 block of Foxhill Avenue N.

Police officers ‘keeping up with the times’

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

With the recent mass shootings in Dallas, Las Vegas and Florida, there couldn’t be a better time for the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) to equip its staff with technology to keep them safe in extreme circumstances.

Within the next month, CLPD will deploy 12 riflerated ballistic vests from RMA Armament.

“The addition of protective equipment is something that we are always looking into. Clearly with what has been going on in the world as well as in our country, the ability to protect ourselves from the usual munitions we tend to encounter has taken center stage,” said Lt. Russell Blanck. “We are seeing a lot more incidents as of late involving high-powered rifles, and even if they are not necessarily high powered, they involve projectiles that are more likely than not able to penetrate an officer’s regular vest.”

Currently officers wear an everyday vest as a part of their uniform that is designed to withstand rounds from a handgun. The RMA Armament vests are made for extremely highvelocity weapons, and would only be put on in extreme circumstances, such as an incident with an active shooter.

“When you think about what happened in Dallas and in some of the other cities where higher powered rifles were used, these would have come in handy,” Blanck said. “Ten years ago, departments would not have thought about deploying this kind of vest because they

weren’t facing the kind of weapons we are facing now.

Nowadays, this is a reflection of change ... and we are just so grateful that we have this opportunity to enhance the level of protection we afford our officers through this particular program.”

Around a year ago, Circle Pines City Administrator Patrick Antonen mentioned a connection he had to a gentleman who makes these vests.

While serving as the city manager for Centerville, Iowa,Antonen met company CEO Blake Waldrop, who was looking for a factory to build the vests in the Quad

Cities area. Waldrop ended up buying a building in Centerville, Iowa, that was left vacant after the Iowa National Guard sold the building to the city.

A few weeks ago, Antonen went back to Iowa to visit his family, and picked up a demo vest so the CLPD officers could see it in person and decide if that was the direction they wanted to go, and it was. Blanck said the entire department has had a positive reaction to the new technology.

Sgt. Matt Giese said, “I feel this is going to offer us a much greater level of protection than before and

having the support from Patrick and the cities all on board supporting us has been great.”

Waldrop, a former Marine and retired cop, knows all too well what can happen if someone is not wearing the proper equipment. While deployed to Iraq, a buddy of his was shot while wearing a vest. Although the vest stopped the fi rst shot, it didn’t stop the second shot, and he was killed.

“Concealment will hide you, but it is not going to defeat a round. Cover will hide you and defeat a round. Our vests, as far as the super high-velocity

weapons are concerned, they offer concealment but not the cover aspects,” Blanck explained about the everyday vests. “You can’t be behind and remain safe. It is important to keep up with the times and to continue to invest in safety and that is what we are doing, whether it is these vests, body cameras, optics on rifles ...”

Antonen added, “You hope you don’t ever have to use them, but if we do, the officers are protected.”

Second Chance Animal Rescue – Saving Lives Second Chance Animal Rescue incorporated in 1994 as a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing, caring for and adopting out homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens into permanent loving homes. All animals that we rescue are spayed or neutered, FeLV & FIV or heartworm checked, vaccinated, dewormed and flea treated prior to adoption. They are then placed in a temporary foster home until a permanent adoptive home is found (we do not have a shelter or a holding facility). Our foster care volunteers provide an important service and we are always in need of more so we can save more lives. When you foster,

“For For All Styles Styles” Ranger-a Husky

you get the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped save the life of an animal in need. Second Chance provides fosters with the animal care supplies needed such as food, carrier or crate, toys, cat litter, dog leashes and collars, etc.

When adopting an animal, we want a lifetime rewarding experience for both the adopter and for the animal. We screen potential adopters carefully to make the right match for everyone. The foster participates in the process by showing the animal to the potential adopters, answering questions, and completing the adoption paperwork.

Build a strong relationship with your pet’s vet Routine wellness visits are an important part of maintaining overall health for adults and children. The same can be said for ensuring family pets are thriving, as well.

Veterinarians should be consulted for more than just illnesses. Their input is a key component of proper pet care. Having a solid relationship with the vet is in the best interests of the pet and its owner.

Open communication and familiarity with companion animals helps to avoid health issues before they appear, according to Dr. Krista Magnifico, DVM, and founder of Pawbly.com. Wellness exams facilitate discussion when the animal is not under duress and the general health of the pet can be properly assessed. According to the pet resource iHeartDogs.com, common components of wellness visits include the vet asking questions about exercise frequency, appetite, behavior, and any breed-specific issues. A vet will examine the pet, check gait and movement, as well as look at the eyes, ears and mouth. Routine vaccinations also are typically discussed and administered.

Veterinary Practice News advises taking a new pet to the vet a few days after he or she comes home, even if the pet’s medical history has been documented extensively. This establishes a clinical file and a relationship between pet and vet and vet and pet owner.

The frequency of vet visits is often determined by the veterinarian, breed and age of the animal, and the preferences of the pet owners. The vets at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine say that kittens or puppies may need to come in once a month for preventative shots until they reach 16 weeks of age. New pet parents also may need more guidance on training and housebreaking and can benefit from more frequent interactions with a vet early on. After pets receive all of their initial immunizations, vets typically see healthy pets annually for well visits. If the pet has a specific condition, he or she may require more frequent visits.

According to the pets division of WebMD, senior dogs, or those around age 10, should get twice-yearly checkups, as advised by most vets.

Changes to hormones and major systems of the body may occur rapidly in aging pets, and more frequent visits can help discover illnesses, such as canine diabetes. Vets also can be an educated sounding board for facing an elder pet’s end-of-life issues.

Veterinarians play an essential role in maintaining the health, happiness and comfort of pets. A great relationship is established early on.

Bad back? Check out CrossFit for functional fi tness

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — CrossFitters, and those who are eager to try it out, now have another option in the Hugo/Lino Lakes area.

Aerial Athletics, located at 2289 E Cedar St. #108, opened its doors in August. General Manager Chris Raaymakers said, “It’s a community.

People come here for CrossFit but they don’t stay because of CrossFit; people stay because of the people who are here.”

Aerial Athletics was started in 2013 and has two locations, the new one in Lino Lakes just west of the Victor Gardens neighborhood, and one in Duluth.

Raaymakers helped to get the new location up and running. In addition to his position as general manager, he also serves as the head coach.

He is originally from Cottage Grove and now lives in Vadnais Heights with his wife Jackie, who grew up in Centerville, and their 9-year-old son Rylan.

His fitness journey began back in 2012 when Raaymakers weighed in at 300 pounds. “I found out my dad had quadruple bypass heart surgery, so that was a big game-changer for me,” he said. “My goal switched from losing 100 pounds to being in my son’s life for as long as I can.”

He tried out different gyms and fitness programs, but nothing seemed to work. He then researched online for high-intensity workouts, stumbled upon CrossFit and decided to try it out. He saw results immediately.

“It’s crazy the things you learn about yourself through CrossFit,” he said. “I had bad knees, a bad back and ultimately it made things better for me so now I can run around with my son and I can play football with him.”

Lino Lakes resident Todd Schwartz has attended classes at Aerial for a little over a month now. He was previously a member at CrossFit Thousand Lakes in Forest Lake, but he was worried he would not make it to classes on time because of the I-35W construction and decided to look for another option.

He started talking to people in the CrossFit community who recommended Aerial. Schwartz has participated in CrossFit for 1.5 years now.

“I have a desk job and was starting to develop back issues from the sedentary work style,” he explained.

“My chiropractor is a CrossFitter and she recommended I think about strengthening the muscles up in my back and try CrossFit. So I tried it and today I have no back issues whatsoever.”

CrossFit has also helped him to improve his overall health and eating habits. “I am probably the fittest I have ever been in my life. That has to do with the exercise I do here and completely changing my eating habits,” he said.

Schwartz is also a runner and says CrossFit has helped him in that realm, too. His goal is to complete a 5K in 20 minutes. He also hopes to continue doing trail running and try out CrossFit competitions.

Forest Lake resident Mara Dehmlow has attended classes at Aerial Athletics in Lino Lakes for a few weeks now.

“People think if you do CrossFit you are going to be big, bulky and muscular and that it’s going to totally chew into your running, but that is not the case. You are toning, and you are getting stronger, but you are not getting bulky,” he said.

Forest Lake resident Mara Dehmlow has attended classes at Aerial for a few weeks now. She heard about the gym from her therapist, who also goes to Aerial. “She has been talking up CrossFit forever and said I should try it,” she said.

Dehmlow skates in the Roller Derby and is an official for the Minnesota Roller Girls. After she had to hang up her roller skates due to an injury, she decided to try CrossFit to gain strength and prevent future injuries, with the ultimate goal of getting back on her skates.

“I came here and everybody was

super encouraging,” she said. “It looks hard, but then they scale it down to whatever your level is.”

Even though she has only been doing CrossFit for a short period of time, she is already seeing benefits.

“Part of the reason I stopped skating was I was doing things incorrectly and I injured my knees. Normally, going up and down stairs kills my knees and after the fi rst week I noticed my knees were not aching,” she said. “You don’t know how you are going to react to something until you try it. I learned something new that I would not have learned otherwise.”

Fete des Lacs run and paddle events hits of festival The Fete des Lacs Kids Run had 56 runners in the 10-and-under event (the youngest was only 3 years old). The event is supported by the staff at Apple Academy Learning Center in Centerville.

The Fete des Lacs 8K and 5K run had 98 participants (32 in the 8K and 66 in the 5K).

This year’s age range was from 10 to 80.

Ironically, there were 19 runners in the 19 age group and under; the youngest runner was 8.

The longer course also attracts a few elite runners. This year’s 8K event had collegiate runners from the University of Minnesota and St. Cloud State. Taking fi rst and second place were Shane Stiebler from the University of Minnesota, with a time of 26:20, and Cole Stiebler from St. Cloud State, whose time was 27:90.

Winning the 8K women’s division was Cindy Lewandowski from Sartell, who posted a time of 38:53. Second place went to Carey Clark of White Bear Lake, with a time of 43:24.

In the 5K run, the winner of the male division was David Amacher from Centerville: his time was 30:23. In second place was Tim Anderson of Centerville, at 23:26. Tim’s wife, Kayla Anderson, won the women’s division in 33:26. Second among the women was Rachel Cina from Forest Lake

with a time of 27:20.

To see all of the results, visit midwest events.com.

Paddle des Lacs saw 17 “boats” of various description on the lake for the second annual event. Eight canoes from the local Cub Scout Pack also participated in a parent/youth event.

The overall winner of the event was the team of Ole and Noah Mersinger in a tandem sea kayak. The fi rst-place canoe was powered

by Jeff and William McArdle of Troop 232 in Lino Lakes. The single kayak leader award went to Alexa Peterson from Yahoo Adventures, who was there to rent kayaks and assist those in need of extra help.

City Administrator/Engineer Mark Statz even participated in Paddle des Lacs (and the run) with his wife and two very young children in a canoe.

Paddle des Lacs organizer Pat Branch wanted to thank the Bald Eagle Waterski Show, Anoka County Sheriff’s office and volunteers (including Kevin Admundsen, Michael Giovinazzo and Marsha Marcussen) for the success of the event.

Branch said he hopes the new Paddle des Lacs event will continue to grow to be as big of a tradition as the run.

HUGO — The City Council conducted the following business at its July 16 meeting: • Reviewed a sketch plan for a new 135-acre residential development called Preserve on Sunset Lake.

Developer Cheldon Frank proposes the building of 13 single family homes on 5- and 10-acre lots near the southwest corner of Sunset Lake at 12140 Illies Ave. N. Frank, a Hugo resident, purchased the property from the Wlaschin family.

The property is currently zoned rural residential and consists of mostly farm fields and wetlands. Each lot will have its own well and septic.

The subdivision will also have a 25-acre open space maintained by a Homeowners Association. Wetlands would be preserved as part of that space.

The project would connect to 125th Avenue N. and extend a rural street section south ending at a cul-de-sac in the center of the property.

The developer hopes to start construction yet this year and have a model home completed in time for the spring Parade of Homes.

Rural residential areas require a minimum lot size of 10 acres so rezoning to a planned unit development will be required; that will be the next step, following by a general plan and preliminary plat approval before the fi nal plat.

Mayor Tom Weidt recalled a plan approved in 2006 called Sunset Shores on the site that included 39 homes. The project was abandoned. He told Frank the Preserve was a “really nice development” and thanked him for his interest in Hugo.

• Approved installation of a drug take-back box in the lobby of City Hall.

of unused, expired and unwanted medications in its four drop boxes. The sheriff’s department oversees the program and medication disposal. “It’s a great way to get drugs out of medicine cabinets,” he said. “There is an incredible amount still out there.”

The sheriff said the boxes are emptied once or twice a day at service locations.

The drop box will be anchored to the wall or floor.

• Approved two-year renewal of mining permit for Mike Atkinson. His property is located on the south side of 147th Street between Irish and Hyde Avenue. For the past several years, the site has been used to stockpile material

with no mining activity taking place.

• Approved premise permit for Merrick, Inc. Aug. 6 for bingo at the American Legion.

FIRE EQUIPMENT: Donations spent on ‘amazing things’ FROM PAGE 1

SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Lt. Ross Hoernemann hangs some of his gear on the Ram Air Gear Dryer. The air dryer can dry up to four sets of gear at once.

Lt. Ross Hoernemann said, “We have gotten donations from $5 all the way up to $500. The city does what it can without having to raise taxes and takes care of the pieces we need to keep our building and trucks up and running. Without those, we can’t get anywhere.”

Other fundraisers have included bake sales and dunk tanks at open houses.

The most recent purchase, thanks to donations, is particulate hoods for every fi refighter to wear.

Manufactured by Majestic Fire Apparel, the hood guarantees to block 99 percent of particles. It also covers a lot more skin than the hoods that HFD had previously.

Two years ago, the relief association also purchased an air dryer for gear.

Assistant Chief David Jensen explained the air dryer allows a lot more gear to be dried at once and a lot quicker. Before the purchase, HFD had to air dry its gear, which could take up to two days. With the dryer, up to four sets of gear can be dried at one time in under 12 hours. With the help of an additional fan, that time can be as little as three hours.

The versatility of the dryer also allows water/ice rescue gear to be dried in addition to boots.

HFD has also purchased various tools in the past as well as a hose tester, which allows the department a way to test hoses without having to hook them up to an engine, which is bad for the vehicle.

Jensen said HFD’s next purchase will be a decontamination box.

“It takes more of the nasty carcinogens out of the gear before you have to come back and wash it,” Jensen said. “In the past we would go to a fi re, come back and get our gear ready to go. Now we will treat it more as a hazmat situation, where we are covered in nasty stuff and then we need to decontaminate ourselves before we get back to the station.”

HFD should have the decontamination box within the next few weeks.

“We want people and businesses to see that the money they are donating is being put toward really amazing things that the city budget won’t cover,” Hoernemann said.

Cougar baseball coach steps down

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Rollie Goertzen, a key figure in Centennial’s high school, Legion and VFW baseball programs, has resigned as head coach of the high school team.

SUBMITTED “It is time for a younger Rollie Goertzen wearing guy to take over,” said his third-base coach Goertzen, explaining that helmet. he suffered a stroke in October 2016 and rehabbed “real hard” to be ready for the 2017 season but decided before the 2018 season that it would be his last.

Taking over will be Jake Howells, a top assistant under Goertzen. (More on Howells next week.)

Goertzen said he believes the high school program is strong and “Jake is the man to take it to the next level.”

Goertzen was head coach for five years, with a 66-50 record, highlighted by a section runner-up season in 2015.

A special education teacher who’s highlight as a player was being the shortstop on a state tournament team at Kellogg High School, Goertzen has been involved with local baseball for 24 years.

He’s been coach and/or manager of the Legion for 13 years and manager of the VFW for five years. The current Legion coach is Matt Youngquist, and the VFW coach is Michael Diggins.

“Many life lessons are learned through sports, and I have been blessed to have worked with hundreds of young men in the Centennial community over the past 20-plus years,” said Goertzen. He hopes to continue to assist the high school team and help with the summer feeder programs.

White Bear Soccer Club girls take home title

BY CONRAD ENGSTROM PRESS INTERN

White Bear Soccer Club’s U15 girls team coached

by Edi Buro won the national USA Soccer Cup held in Colorado. They are the fi rst team based in Minnesota to take home the title in the top division. Before the national cup, the girls had to win the Minnesota State Cup, which they did, but because of the bad weather in the spring, did not go to the regional tournament. However, they got an invitation to the national cup and took home the crown.

“Next year we can get in any tournament in America and go to a lot of showcases because of winning the national title,” Coach Buro said.

“College coaches will be watching us, which is exciting for White Bear because there are a lot of Division 1 players on the team.”

Buro took over this team a few years ago when they were a C2 team. Now, as a U15 team, they are the national champions.

“A couple of good girls came in and I preached development, development, development,” Buro said. “Now the whole club focuses on development, which is good.”

In Colorado, the girls beat the top Illinois team 5-0 in their fi rst game of group play. That was followed by wins against the top New York and Oklahoma clubs to make it to the championship game. In the championship game, White Bear Soccer Club scored a goal in the last minute to defeat Indie Chicas – a club based in Boise, Idaho – 1-0 to take home the championship.

The U15 White Bear Soccer Club, coached by Edi Buro, won the National Cup XVII Championship in Aurora, Colorado, July 24 after five days of action. The championship featured more than 5,000 players from 250 teams across 30 states. The girls scored 10 goals throughout the tournament while allowing only two.

hit song “All I Do is Win” celebrating their championship. They played that song before every game. The girls fi nished their season undefeated dating back to the State Cup held in Minnesota.

“The club’s slogan is ‘Attractive football always wins,’” Buro said. “After the fi rst game (in the

national cup) I knew this was going to be special.”

The team consists of girls who live in the Centennial School District, Mahtomedi and St. Francis, but most of the girls live in the White Bear and Hugo communities.

This past week, weather has High 81° been very enjoyable with low humidity and cool comfortable Low 61º mornings. This past weekend I participated in my first 50-mile run, Voyager 50-miler from Carlton to Duluth and back. It was %Sun 69% an experience, to say the least.

I plan to take it easy this August and enjoy the Dog Days that August has to offer.

ENGINEER: Well versed on rules of proper train handling FROM PAGE 1

St. Cloud to Minot, North Dakota.

Why did he switch from Milwaukee Railroad to Amtrak? “Would you rather drive a pickup truck, or a sports car?” he asked.

While at the Milwaukee Railroad, Lemay drove trains that were around 120 cars in length and traveled 50-60 mph. The trains carried freight such as coal, oil and automobiles. While at Amtrak, he drove a train that had 11 cars and was responsible for safely transporting 350-400 people at 79 mph.

One thing that held true for both jobs: Lemay had to know all of the rules. Each of the different rails have their own handbook. Many of Lemay’s co-workers referred to him as an “encyclopedia” and sought advice/rule interpretations from him.

“I took a lot of pride in having people come to me and having the confidence in me to give them the right answers,” he said. “I really prided myself on proper train handling. That was important to me, to get them there safe and follow the rules.”

Even though Lemay loved the job, he had to make a lot of sacrifices.

“It is very demanding on your home/family life,” he explained. Often Lemay had to work over 55 hours a week and was away from home over 80 hours a week. When he was home, he was often sleeping to get ready for the next trip.

Lemay and his wife Mary have been married for 36 years and have two sons, Brian and Matt, both White Bear grads.

In addition, the job can be dangerous. In his 43 years on the job, he was involved in 30 crossing accidents, most of which he said were simply a result of someone not paying attention. Out of those 30 incidents, there were two fatalities.

Lemay recalled one incident about 25 years ago where he saw his life fl ash before his eyes.

A semitruck carrying 80,000 pounds of wood jackknifed on the track. Lemay ended up hitting the semi at 80 mph.

“That was the fi rst time in my career where I thought, ‘It’s over,’” he said. “I curled up in a ball on the floor. My life passed in front of me when that happened.”

Lemay received a safety award for how he handled that situation along with many others over the years.

What fi nally pushed Lemay to retire was the birth of his fi rst grandchild. With all of his newfound free time, Lemay plans to make many visits to Florida to see his new grandson and spend time at their RV park on Rush Lake.
