for his three daughters with Down syndrome By Emma Theis Staff Reporter

Lee Shervheim’s family isn’t typical, but you wouldn’t know that just by talking to him. The Lino Lakes man and his wife have seven children, including three daughters who have Down syndrome, and two of whom are adopted. Looking towards his daughters’ futures, Lee has been working to become an informed advocate for them and plans to help make all their life goals and dreams a reality, regardless of their disabilities. Lee, with his wife Karen, 18-year-old twin sons Daniel and Andrew, son Sam, 14, biological daughter Annie, 11, adopted daughters Katie and Emie, both 11, and son David, 8, have lived in Lino Lakes for five years after moving from North Dakota for a job change. Katie and Emie came from different parents, but both were living at the same orphanage in Kharkov, Ukraine. They joined the

Shoreview to build first water treatment plant By: Emma Theis Staff Reporter By next year, city water users in Shoreview can expect reduced or eliminated rust and build up in their water quality and plumbing fixtures. The Shoreview City Council awarded a bid of $9.92 million to Municipal Builders, Inc. for the construction of the City’s first municipal water treatment plant. The plant’s main purpose will be to address the increasing levels of iron and manganese in the City’s well water and ensure that the CIty’s drinking water complies with the standards of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to a memo from Shoreview City Planner Kathleen Castle. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, iron and manganese are naturally occurring elements in groundwater and are not high health risks. Both substances cause rust, staining, and build up in pipes. The award of the construction bid was the culmination of a two-year planning project by Shoreview Public Works Director Mark Maloney and fellow consultants. “This is the biggest single contract award for a public infrastructure project (as measured in dollars) in Shoreview city history,” said Shoreview Public Works Director Mark Maloney. In the next month

or two, construction will start on the eight million gallon per day (MGD) gravity treatment plant that will be built west of the Victoria Street/Highway 96 intersection and west of the Ramsey County Ice Arena where the City’s existing water reservoir and booster station are already located. The cost of the plant is directly related to its capacity. According to Maloney, Shoreview’s water use dramatically changes throughout the year. In the winter, water use could drop as low as two million gallons per day whereas on a hot, dry summer day water use can spike to eight or nine million gallons. The new treatment plant, which has a life expectancy of 40-50 years needs to be large enough to accommodate the City’s water needs. The City water services additionally supply some portions of North Oaks, the Army reserve center in Arden Hills, and the MNDOT maintenance facility on County Road I. The City’s water is sourced through six groundwater wells. Five of them are currently directed through the booster station off Hwy 96 where flouride, per state law, and chlorine, a disinfectant, are added to the water before it’s pumped into the water towers. According to Maloney, all incoming well water

will be directed through the treatment plant before being stored in the reservoir and supplied to the water towers as needed. It is also part of the plan to redirect Well 6 (located by Turtle Lake) to the treatment plant as well. The flouride and chlorine will now be added at the new treatment plant location instead of in the booster station. The new plant is also designed to be flexible with regard to the chemical treatment of other things that may occur in the groundwater over time. The City received two bids for the project. The engineer consultant for the project estimated the cost at $10.5 million. Both bids came in below the engineer’s estimate with the second bid coming in at approximately $10.3 million. The project will be financed through the City’s Water Fund. The water rate has already been adjusted for the current budget in anticipation for this project. Average city water users saw a 4 percent water rate increase this year compared to 2014 and can expect to see a 12 percent increase in 2016 and 5 percent increases in 2017 and 2018. “This project has been planned for a long time,” said Shoreview Mayor Sandi Martin at the City Council meeting June 1. “Granted it’s a very, very big and extensive project and a very costly project, but the

That is how we are able to do a [large] dollar project that won’t have a really huge im-

pact on taxpayers but will provide a very real benefit.” Construction is planned to start next month or even sooner. Substantial completion and plant start up is estimated around December 2016 and final completion is estimated to occur in March 2017.

Opinion Future planning It’s difficult to watch aging PUBLISHER’S parents struggle as they try VIEW to downsize and find a home that will be safe and comfortable, and most importantly, where they want to live out their golden years. It has hit home for us these past few weeks as my mother-in-law has been in Connecticut CARTER JOHNSON trying to figure out the next step for her parents, who are in their mid-90s and living in their two-story home. With significant physical limitations and memory loss, it has become obvious — perhaps to everyone but them — they can no longer stay in their home. However, they never made plans or established directives for this situation. Waiting lists at assisted living and nursing homes in their area are too long. Their liquid assets are dwindling. My mother-in-law and her sister, nearly in their 70s themselves, feel a tremendous amount of stress and guilt over making decisions for their parents. Because they don’t live in Connecticut, there has been a lot of frustration and time spent figuring out where to go and what resources are available. They are trying to do their best but know their parents are going to be unhappy about the decisions they make. It’s so important when you have a clear mind to make plans that are well-communicated. No one wants to think there may come a time that they don’t have the mental or physical capacities to make their own decisions and control their own destinies. But things happen unexpectedly — at any age — and it’s in your best interest to make plans for a variety of scenarios. It also helps your family feel less stress, guilt or resentment when they are carrying out your directives. Choose a power of attorney should you become incapacitated so there is no question who is responsible for you. Let that person know what your assets are and how to access them. Have a plan for what to do with your house. Make it known which assisted living or nursing care facility you want to be at if you can’t go back home. Have a will and a living will. Make plans and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your wishes will be carried out if something happens to you. The best part is, none of those hard choices go into effect until the time comes you really need them to, and maybe you never will. Celebrate fathers As a father I often ask myself what qualities I hope to instill in my children — love, discipline, character, integrity, kindness, selflessness, independence? Ideally all of those and more, though I recognize my limitations. I’m usually not the parent who frosts the cupcakes, makes sure clean clothes are folded neatly in the drawers or sets up the schedule of activities and playdates. Often I am the parent who swoops in at dinnertime and demands the kids clean up the yard so I can mow the lawn. Sometimes I come home after an exhausting day and find it’s hard to get excited about playing basketball in the driveway or listening to every detail about the latest Lego invention, but I know it’s so important. I realize my dad struggled with those things, too, when we were growing up. I remember feeling on top of the world whenever I had my dad’s full-on attention, even if it was for just a few minutes. Dads provide a sense of security — they make you feel like nothing can get you when they are around. Even though Father’s Day has come and gone, write your dad a note or share your memories of quality time spent together. If you’re a father of young children, know that it’s ok that you bring a different set of skills to parenting, and remember that the best way to make a mark on who your kids become is simply by being there for them. — Carter Johnson is the publisher of Press Publications

Processed food in a healthy diet Farmers markets are opening, seedlings are in the ground, and everything is green. The Minnesota Grown booklet highlighting all of the details about the area’s farms and markets was delivered. The promise of fresh and local produce is energizing and mouthwatering. Fresh, local food is in the spotlight as we are discovering that it is delicious, nutritious, and environmentally friendly. From a nutritional standpoint, a diet ﬁlled with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and good protein and fats will help us have better health outcomes. This type of diet may be easier to consume for some more than others however, and in summertime more so than in wintertime. Enter: the processed food. Processed food refers to any food that has undergone heat, chemical, or other manufacturing process that changes the food to various degrees from its natural state. The term is a bit of an umbrella, and includes foods that have been minimally processed, all the way to processed beyond recognition. The unfortunate thing for processed foods these days is that in effort to give quick, meaningful nutritional advice, ‘processed food’ is all lumped into one

NUTRITION QUEST

MEGAN BAUMLER category- a category to be minimized in the diet. Why? Processed food has saved us! Milk irradiation, yogurt, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, tube feeding formulas, supplemental products such as Ensure, (and I’m pretty sure my daughter would add fruit leather to this list and I should probably add ice cream) are all processed foods that have improved nutritional status and prolonged life. We have our local food and nutrition professionals at the University of Minnesota and at the major food industries to thank for some of these processed foods. Thus, this recommendation to minimize intake of processed foods deserves clariﬁcation. When health professionals and medical agencies/institutions recommend minimizing intake of processed foods, they are referring to the foods that have a lot of add-

ed sugars and sodium- the types of processed foods that just add calories and additives to our diets, but not much in the way of nutritive value. For those that want more detail about which processed foods are OK and which aren’t, I offer you my modus operandi: consume foods that are closest to their natural state. This includes some minimally processed foods that are critically important for obtaining certain nutrients. Milk is a processed food, irradiated to contain vitamin D, which many of us are short on anyway. Yogurt is a processed food that contains beneficial bacteria that help us maintain immunity and keep our digestive tract healthy. Canned protein such as tuna, salmon, and chicken are convenient for maintaining protein intake (and omega-3 fatty acids from the fish). Canned beans are a pantry staple for an easy way to boost fiber in a meal or to make a pureed dip like hummus. Whole grain crackers, bread, pasta, and rice are also pantry staples for the carbohydrates that we need for energy. My freezer always contains fruits and vegetables for that gap when my fresh produce runs out before I have made it to the store. I

am thankful for these processed foods so that we can maintain a healthy diet. Heavily processed food is changing, in response to our gravitation towards more natural food. A recent article in the Star Tribune discussed how large local food industries are revamping products to cater to the new, more natural preferences of grocery shoppers, and dealing with diving sales of former mainstays such as Bisquick. Target is rapidly changing its food profile to include more organic and natural products. Unfortunately, unprocessed foods are simply not as profitable, unless of course we are talking about the Honey Crisp apple that was designed at the University of Minnesota. The patent on this delicious variety of apple is one of the most valuable that the University has. Beyond an occasional indulgence (Oreos that the in-laws brought? Can’t let them go to waste!) and beyond the minimally processed foods though, I primarily stick to foods that I have processed myself and I recommend the same for you. — Megan Baumler, PhD, RD, is a resident of White Bear Lake and has been practicing in the field of nutrition for over a decade.

Squash vine borer Growing zucchini can be one of the easiest vegetables to grow if you have the right growing conditions. You can get so much produce that neighbors avoid making eye contact because they don’t want to be given any more zucchinis. Don’t forget about the zucchini that gets hidden under the leaves. Virtually overnight a zucchini can grow to a foot long. But what if you don’t get the production from your zucchinis that you’ve been hoping for? If the plants have been healthy and they start to look like they are wilting, this is a sign that it is being infected by the squash vine borer. The squash vine borer can inhibit getting a high yield from your vining plants. The plants that are more susceptible to it are zucchini, summer, Hubbard, Acorn, Buttercup squashes and pumpkins. Vining plants less likely to be affected are Butternut squash, melons and cucumber. There are natural and chemical methods that can prevent getting the squash vine borer. In late June to early July, daily inspection is required to see the signs before wilting occurs. The squash vine borer is a black and orange moth that ﬂies like a bee and is about 1”-1 1/2” long. The moths are attracted to

GARDENER’S GRAPEVINE

LYNNE FORBRAGD the blossoms and will lay its eggs at the base of the vine which look like reddish brown specs. When you see these, gently brush them off and drop them onto a paper towel. If you see little holes and a saw dust like substance at the base of the plant; the larvae has hatched and eaten its way into the vine and will start the destruction of the plant. At this point, take a needle and pierce the vine at ½” intervals to kill the larvae or a ﬁne blade and make a slit near the entrance point. Mound up moist soil around the plant to help the plant recover. This process can be labor intensive depending on how many plants have been infected. If this method is unsuccessful, pull and toss the plant to minimize infestations the following year. Another successful method is to time your planting. The moth lays its eggs from late June to early July so

by waiting to plant in early July, you will miss the egg laying stage. This works for vining plants that have a shorter length of time to harvest. Row covers is another method. Cover the plants late June to early July ensuring that the covers are tight to the ground to prevent the moth from entering the protected area. It is necessary to rotate your crops as the eggs come from out of the soil from the previous year. If these other methods have not worked, insecticides can be applied. Spray at the base of the plant when the moth is active and reapply two times every 7-10 days. Effective insecticides are carbaryl, permethrin, bifenthrin and esfenvalerate. Always read the label when using insecticides to ensure proper applications and to minimize residual effects in the soil.

Sisters Continued from page 1 “Between my wife and I, we couldn’t get it out of our heads,” he said. “So many children need families and we knew we could potentially do something about it.” As they were looking into the adoption process from Eastern European countries, Lee and Karen discovered it was very common for parents that delivered a child with disabilities to abandon the baby at the hospital. Those abandoned babies end up in orphanages until about the age of 5 or 6 and then are transferred into mental institutions containing adult populations. The Shervheim adoption story is different than other adoption stories. Many families wanting to adopt sometimes wait months and years for the child they wish to bring into their family. Working with Reece’s Rainbow, an adoption grant foundation out of Maryland that helps facilitate adoptions for orphans with Down syndrome, the Shervheim’s entire adoption process took less than a year. In the fall of 2007, Lee and Karen decided they wanted to adopt two children and started the paperwork. They had found Katie and another little boy through Reece’s Rainbow, but it was a race against time because Katie was reaching the age where she could have been transferred to a mental institution. In June 2008, the call came for the Shervheims to go to Ukraine and complete the adoptions.

In January 2015, the Shervheim girls were recognized by the Timberwolves organization for their work in the Special Olympics. exact same picture of Annie in our living room and my wife and I both looked at each other and knew that we needed to get Emie as well,” said Lee. Planning to be out of the country for only about three weeks, the four ended up staying in Ukraine six weeks waiting for processing and paperwork to be finalized through the government. According to Lee, part of it was just the system and part of it was because the adoption wasn’t a priority for the government. The Shervheims rented an apartment in Kiev that was only about a 10-mile drive from the orphanage

“We have high expectations for them, regardless of their Down syndrome diagnoses,” said Lee. “That’s just part of them being a part of my family.” Lee and Karen took their two oldest sons with them to Ukraine and left the three younger children in the hands of family members. Unfortunately, every step in the Shervheims’ adoption process posed challenges and hurdles. When the Shervheims got to Ukraine, they discovered that the little boy they had been interested in was no longer available. Lee and Karen decided to look at other children to see if any would be a fit with their family, in addition to Katie. As they were looking through pictures, the couple came across a photo of a little girl (Emie) who was laying on her tummy with her head up (Lee said it looked like kind of like what a turtle would do). “We had that

in Kharkov. An adoption facilitator from the area lived with them for those six weeks and served as the family’s translator, tour guide, driver and more. Visits to the orphanage occupied the Shervheims’ mornings. The 5-acre compound consisted of three to four buildings and housed approximately 100 to 200 orphans. Lee said that the children in the orphanage would just sit outside and look around because they had no toys to play with and no books to read. The family spent time every day getting to know Katie and Emie. They introduced the girls to bubbles, books, stuffed animals, and other toys and took them for walks and play dates on the playground. In the afternoons and evenings Lee,

Karen, Daniel and Andrew explored Kharkov and the surrounding area. They went to zoos, parks, museums, concerts and even mastered the Ukrainian subway system. Lee was even able to work remotely while in Ukraine by going to hotels’ business centers and connecting to the Internet.

Finally home After weeks of waiting, the Shervheims were finally able to take Katie and Emie home. But the challenges didn’t end there. “The unvarnished truth is that bringing those two kids in our life, whether they had a disability or not, was really disruptive to our family,” said Lee Shervheim. “They came with so many issues that we had not anticipated.” For one, language was a huge barrier. Katie and Emie didn’t understand English and the Shervheims knew a minimal amount of Russian. The first thing the family did was to teach the girls sign language, and that served as their primary way of communicating for six to nine months before the girls started to pick up English. Katie and Emie also struggled with their loss of familiarity and basic understanding of childhood behaviors. They didn’t understand the concept of playing, Lee said. The girls’ idea of play was to take everything off the shelves and throw it on the floor, but they didn’t know any better. Less than a year later, the Shervheims picked up and moved down to Lino Lakes. It was a huge transition for the family, said Lee, and they lost their entire support system. According to Lee, the

first couple years after the adoption were really rough, but every year has become progressively better. “[Katie and Emie] now know us as their family and they are a super integral part of our family,” said Lee.

Building a future in Minnesota Shervheim family members have found a lot of support in their local community through a variety of programs. After they started attending Eagle Brook Church in Lino Lakes, they made many friends who surrounded their family with support and love. Eagle Brook is also where the Shervheims met their current personal care attendant, who works for them four to five times a week. Katie, Emie and Annie are all involved with the ECFE program at Otter Lake Elementary School and participated in the Young Athletes Program through the White Bear Lake YMCA until they got involved with the Special Olympics Minnesota White Bear Lake team. The girls participate in the bowling, basketball, and track and field events and Lee volunteers as a coach. “There have been so many doors that have been opened for our family as a result of having kids with disabilities,” said Lee. “So many amazing things have happened. We never would have met such amazing people if our girls didn’t have a disability.” Besides enjoying things that all little girls do (dolls, dress-up, playing outside, coloring, etc.), the three Shervheim girls all have unique interests. Katie is the athlete. She loves sports, has great coordination and has played one season of Miracle League baseball in Blaine. Annie is the fashion queen. She loves

Partners in policymaking Shervheim recently completed a program called Partners in Policymaking. The advocacy training program was a nine-month commitment of 120 hours of classwork and homework. The eight sessions, held on Fridays and Saturdays once a month, covered the history of the disability and self-advocacy movements, inclusive education, supported living, and avenues to influence county, state and federal legislative processes. Partners in Policymaking has existed for 28 years and over 900 people have been through the training program. There is no cost for the program, since it is covered by a federal grant. “One of the things I was thinking about as a dad is, ‘What do my daughters’ futures look like?’” Lee said. According to Lee, 40 years ago life for a person with Down syndrome would mostly consist of being institutionalized for a major part of his or her life. Twenty years ago, it would have been living in a group home and working at sheltered workshops. Shervheim has brighter dreams for his daughters’ futures and has worked hard to become a voice and an advocate for those dreams. Lee said that through the training program, he met people with disabilities living independent, productive lives and learned about all the possibilities that are out there for people with disabilities. “I think my girls can do almost anything they want to do,” he said, “and that’s what I want to help them become.” Beyond that, Lee said he would like to serve on some sort of panel, commission or council that would help promote the needs of people with disabilities and let the world know that people with disabilities have value and worth and can add to the whole framework of life. “The message is that it really doesn’t matter where you started or where you came from,” said Lee. “There are endless opportunities for everyone, whether they have disabilities or not. They deserve a shot.” For more information about the Partners in Policymaking program visit mn.gov/mnddc/pipm/ to put together outfits and experiment with sparkly jewelry and makeup. Emie loves to organize and do detailed things with her hands. She also has a phenomenal memory and can beat the whole family in a memory game they play. Emie and Annie also participate in a drama and acting class on Saturday afternoons. Lee said that he will keep setting the bar high for his daughters and en-

couraging them to follow their dreams and passions. He wants to see his daughters lead active and healthy lifestyles, live independently with appropriate support, be able to drive cars, and fall in love and get married. “We have high expectations for them, regardless of their Down syndrome diagnoses,” said Lee. “That’s just part of them being a part of my family.”

P and N Auto Sales celebrates 40 years in Lexington

– Submitted photo

Gordie Nygard, owner of P&N Auto Sales in Lexington, never locks any of the used cars he has for sale on his lot. Instead, he lays out pamphlets, that share the story of Jesus, on the front seats of the vehicles and leaves the rest up to God. Nygard said his used car lot isn’t just a business, it’s a ministry as well. The Lexington business owner accepted Christ as his Savior on January 17, 1990, and he says his life —and business — hasn’t been the same since (for the better). Nygard has been in the auto sales

business for over 40 years. He first opened shop in 1971 in Albertville. He moved to the Lexington location, 8999 Lake Drive, in 1975. P & N stands for ‘Patricia (Gordie’s wife and co-owner of the lot) and Nygard.’ Stocking only about 25-30 vehicles on his lot at a time, Nygard’s motto is ‘keep it simple’ and God takes care of the rest. In addition to sharing the story of Jesus with every person who comes onto his lot, Nygard also ministers at Fairbault State Prison a couple times a year.

‘A Home Enhanced’ scraping by during road construction (Photo at right) A Home Enhanced Occasional Market and Design Studio located at 7095 Centerville Road in Centerville has been struggling since the construction on Centerville Road started in April. Owner Laurel McGinnity says most of her customers come up Centerville Road from the south, and the road construction has caused inconvenient detours. The unique shop offers a little bit of everything including charming gifts, jewelry, leather purses, candles, dishes, signs, home decor, greeting cards, books, soaps, and some furniture. But that’s not all, Laurel also dabbles in home designing for interested customers.

A Home Enhanced has been at its location in Centerville for almost two years, but was previously called Willow Creek Corner and was located in Shoreview and North Oaks. After evolving her business into a million-dollar home staging company working with local realtors, Laurel decided to downsize back to a retail store and found her dream store location in Centerville. There is something for everyone at A Home Enhanced and guests can expect to find not only unique and vintage merchandise, but friendship in the owner and staff as well. Through August, A Home Enhanced will be open Friday and Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 11-4. The shop will return to its regular hours in September.
