Quincy House offers hope, guidance and unconditional love

Poppy purpose In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row.

That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

future of veterans, active-duty military personnel and their families with medical and fi nancial needs.

Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is known for its Buddy Poppy program. Before Memorial Day in 1922, the VFW conducted its fi rst poppy distribution. Shortly thereafter, the poppy was adopted as the official memorial flower of the U.S. VFW. During its 1923 encampment, Buddy Poppies were assembled

For nearly six years, Quincy House has been a refuge for youth in the Mounds View school district who are dealing with tough issues such as depression, poverty, substance abuse, truancy and homelessness.

With a background in social work, Tami Moberg started working at Irondale High School as a calm voice to work with students who were struggling in school, both academically and emotionally.

“While at the high school, I noticed these kids struggling. I started hearing their stories, and the last thing on their mind was doing homework and getting good grades,” Moberg said. “They were really worried about their home life, where they were going to get their next meal and where they’re going to lay their head down at night.”

Moberg, a Mounds View resident for 30 years, said she would come home from work and tell her husband David they needed to buy a house on the other side of the school district because some of the boys and girls she was working with at the school didn’t want to go home at the end of the day. That is one of the reasons she started the Quincy House program.

Moberg and Wayne Anderson, of Shoreview, founded Quincy House, a nonprofit, in 2015.

Anderson left the program two years ago. “He didn’t feel he could keep working and moved on to other things,” Moberg said.

Lt.Col. John McCrae – Dec. 8, 1915

What are those little red flowers?

Following World War I, then called “the Great War,” the poppy flourished in Europe.

Scientists attributed the growth to soils in France and Belgium becoming enriched with lime from the rubble left by the war.

From the dirt and mud grew a beautiful red poppy.

Following the publication of the wartime poem, “In Flanders Fields,” the red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle. The poem was written by Lt.-Col. John McCrae, a Canadian doctor, while he served on the front

lines. He died of pneumonia near the end of the war.

On Sept. 27, 1920, the poppy became the official flower of The American Legion family to memorialize the soldiers who fought and died during the war. In 1924, the distribution of poppies became a national program of The American Legion.

Led by the American Legion Auxiliary, each year members of The American Legion Family distribute poppies with a request that the person receiving the flower make a donation to support the

QUINCY HOUSE: Striving for a better life FROM PAGE 1

They bought a house for the organization on Quincy Street in Mounds View on the Irondale side of the school district, which gave kids a place to go and have something to do after school.

“We served family style dinners to kids two nights a week. These were kids who told me they had never had eaten dinner at a table in their whole life,” Moberg said. “A lot of them lived in poverty, lived in trailers and 99% are black or brown. Also, 95% of our kids in our program are fatherless.”

Eventually, the program outgrew the house on Quincy Street. They began using space at a church to accommodate the kids while trying to fi nd a new house for the program.

“I found this house on Red Oak (Drive), and it was amazing,” Moberg said. “It had an old basketball court already, and it was a big house. But it was not in our budget. I was sitting in the driveway praying that if this could be our Quincy House, the kids would just love it and it would be perfect,” she said.

“The next morning, I got a call from a donor I hadn’t talked to for six months, and she asked if we had found a house yet, and said she just happened to be thinking about me. I went over to her house in North Oaks that day, and she wrote a check for $360,000 for the house. It was like the parting of the Red Sea and a nudge from God.” The house on Red Oak has been used since 2018 for all the kids growing up in the Quincy program. They also meet two times during the week at the Mounds View Community Center after school from 4-6 p.m.

Recently, Quincy House partnered with nonprofit 180 Degrees to create a new transitional living program for young men ages 18-24 who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Quincy House held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening for the transitional living program on April 28. Director Richard Coffey of 180 Degrees said the young men they are assisting is something the organization is deeply passionate about. “We really want to help these young men get to the next level of their living. We want to help

them find what their true passion and destiny is on this earth,” he said.

The future looks promising and hopeful for these young men at Quincy House who, according to Moberg, are striving to live a better life.

“I really wanted this house to be a home. We are providing a place for these young men to live and not end up in the prison system, and not end up just meandering in the streets and getting into trouble,” Moberg said.

“Some of these young men that are going into the home to live have been in our Quincy program since they were kids, and it’s important for our younger Quincy kids to see that we’re not just gone when you are done with school ... we are always here for you.”

SHOREVIEW CITY COUNCIL SNIPPETS purchase another affordable home for a low-income family. “I want to thank Council Member (Emy) Johnson and other members of the EDA and the city for supporting and investing in this. It’s going to be a wonderful opportunity for a family to live close to the schools, activities and businesses. I’m very proud of this and I know all of you are too,” Martin said.

• Council Member Cory Springhorn reminded residents to make donations to the Shoreview Friendship Garden. Those who do will get a brick engraved with their name or the name of someone they’d like to honor.

The deadline is May 15. Visit the Shoreview Community Foundation website and make a donation.

• Springhorn also mentioned that National Nurses week is May 6-12 and a good opportunity to recognize nurses for the outstanding work they do. “If we didn’t know before how valuable nurses are, I think we all know now,” he said. “I want to congratulate them all on doing an excellent job in the face of so much adversity in the past year, and

thank you very much.”

• Martin ended the meeting by encouraging everyone to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “The side effects are very minimal, and the freedom that you get from this vaccine is maximum. I’m just

going to keep saying it, because that’s the way we’re going to get back to a normal life.”

The next City Council meeting is set for Monday, May 17, via Zoom.

Waiting Child Levi,10, is a very smart and active young man who is always in motion and keeps himself busy with his imagination, building things with Legos or creating things out of cardboard, zip ties and PVC pipe. He loves to share things he creates or tell stories about things that he finds interesting. Levi likes machinery that makes loud noises such as dump trucks or garbage trucks. He enjoys the outdoors and doing activities such as biking, riding the peddle go-carts, swimming, going to the park, and skateboarding on his knees. Levi would do best in a structured home that is familiar with using outside services.

Springtime re-emergence

F

ollowing the turmoil and uncertainty of the past year, the unfolding of events over the past month has brought a sense of relief.

Because of a somewhat superstitious nature and having seen far too many premature celebrations gone wrong, relief is about all I can muster at this point. Perhaps I’ll feel more celebratory after receiving my final vaccination shot.

I suspect most of us, to some degree, have had our creativity, resilience and even sanity tested over the last 14 months, which was when a COVID-19 case was first reported in Minnesota. Some of the first cases were reported locally.

White Bear Lake resident Dale Bartz was the fifth person in Minnesota to test positive for coronavirus. Talking to him in person about his experience — while taking photos for a Press story by Deb Neutkens — created a strong, tangible awareness that Angle of the virus was serious and not to be taken lightly. He recovered, but his View descriptions of the illness, including feeling like his lungs were filled with Paul Dols broken glass, put me on high alert.

He also conducted his own contact tracing and surmised he caught the virus during a Rotary Club trip to Vail. He recalled visiting a packed bar in late February filled with people from all over the country and the world. The guitar player entertaining the crowd that evening tested positive for COVID-19 and was hospitalized on March 10. He died on March 21.

The international travelers in attendance that evening could have possibly brought the virus into this country or home with them.

As we begin to hear more good news concerning the ongoing pandemic, I wonder if we will be able to take some of the positive lessons we have learned over the past year and integrate them into our daily lives. Some of these lessons are more tangible, like changes in habits, the importance of family and the simple joys of outside activities, including the almost primal comfort of social gatherings around fires. Others are a little more abstract, like exercising empathy, creativity and flexibility.

A recent article on the AARP website titled, “Lessons the Coronavirus Pandemic Has Taught Us” pointed out that we are emerging from not just “one deep crisis but three: a pandemic, an economic meltdown and one of the most fraught political transitions in our history. Interwoven in all three have been challenging issues of racial disparity and fairness.” This combination of factors created a high pressure situation that we can learn from and draw on to potentially improve our lives moving forward.

Several examples are listed in the article including the importance of family, the unleashing of a revolution in medicine, accelerated digital adaptation and the ability to work effectively from home. The pandemic has magnified how important long term relationships, self care and intergenerational family connections are to our health and well being. It also showed that “the scientific community working together can do some pretty amazing things.” The new mRNA vaccines were produced in record time and may have fundamentally changed the way drugs are developed. With the help of technology like internet connectivity and video conferencing, workers who were forced to work from home out of necessity have discovered they can be just as productive as in the office. These transformative developments could have positive impact far into the future.

Since the first tense days of the pandemic, when there were still many unknowns, I began starting each day with a deep breath. This simple physical act, followed by a sense of gratitude, has gone a long way as one of the positive, first steps moving toward a new and hopefully improved version of reality.

Kids are 1st priority

uring the last year, Minnesota’s education system was put under great stress. Children, parents, and educators were put in incredibly difficult situations they had never before experienced. We learned school shutdowns had a devasting impact on both learning and the mental health of children.

As chair of the Senate’s Education Finance and Policy Committee, we had to set priorities that not only addressed long-ignored issues but also the consequences of a year-long Legislator struggle with COVID-19 and Lingo school shutdowns. Our Roger priorities started with kids fi rst, Chamberlain second, third, and always. We have always been absolutely committed to listening to parents and local school districts.

We had a plan designed around the idea of SIMPLE: student-focused, innovation, mandate-free, parent-involved, literacy-driven, and efficiency.

In total, six priorities: All kids back in school full-time, literacy, mental health, teachers of color, fair funding, and empowering parents and local educators.

First, state funding increases by about $800 million, or four

percent. For 2022–2023, total local, state and federal funding will increase to about $31 billion – over $15 billion a year.

New federal Covid aid to our schools totaled $2.6 billion, or 25% of annual state funding!

That funding includes money for summer school, technology, learning loss, mental health, special education, and numerous other educational needs.

On April 22, the Senate approved an education budget focused on those six priorities.

We are putting $3 million a year to provide grants to make proven LETRS training available to educators to address literacy.

We invested in new initiatives for mental health, including grants to LiveMore ScreenLess to address digital health and issues around social media, suicide prevention training for educators, other funds for addressing mental health. We doubled the funding for teachers of color, added money for teacher bonuses, provided a grant to the Black Men Teach program, and addressed the teacher shortage gap by protecting pathways for qualified teachers to secure teaching licenses.

Our bill addresses on-ongoing funding disparities by providing property tax relief for propertypoor districts. The bill includes significant new funding for transportation, safe schools, and community education. We are also providing $60 million in one-time classroom aid, fairly distributed

to schools based on the number of pupils, to address the huge disparity in the distribution of federal Covid-19 relief.

Education Savings Accounts (ESA) will empower parents and fund children, not systems.

ESA’s have 65% overall support, including 74% of African American parents and 71% of Hispanic parents. It is equal opportunity for all kids — ESAs improve outcomes for all kids and schools.

Finally, we focus a lot of attention on allowing more local control and flexibility for education leaders to be innovative and to limit mandates – our proposal includes only 10 “soft” mandates. We worked closely with school organizations to ensure these mandates focused only on high-priority areas such as suicide prevention, seizures, teacher safety, student discipline, and lunch shaming.

The proposal is highly focused, targeted, and a result of listening to parents and local school districts. We cannot solve all problems overnight, but our bill makes serious progress by addressing core issues to leverage greater success for kids and educators.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks, Shoreview Fire Department

I am writing to give a big thank you to our fire department, especially the Hodgson Road/ Highway 96 station and fireman Jeff Mahoney.

I had reason to call 911 this past week, and they responded so quickly and calmed my fears. Fireman Jeff returned the next day to help me on his own time.

It is truly gratifying to know we are so well protected in Shoreview.

Ending sales of flavored tobacco

The Shoreview City Council is considering ending the sale of menthol tobacco products, a move I strongly support.

I am tired of seeing tobacco companies target youth, LGBTQ and Black communities with advertising and promotions for flavored tobacco products, specifically menthol. These tactics put people like me and my friends at risk.

We can keep communities safe by getting rid of flavored tobacco products such as menthol.

Bloomington recently took a bold step to end the sale of all tobacco products in the city over time, and Shoreview should do the same. This action comes on the heels of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcing it will start taking steps to remove menthol products from stores. It’s great to see the FDA involved, but that is a slow process. My friends and I can’t wait that long. That’s why it’s important for cities to take action now.

I’m glad Shoreview and other cities are considering ending the sale of menthol products. Thank you Shoreview City Council for considering steps to protect youth and other populations now.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Kids Cooking School closes again The Kids Cooking School, which recently rebranded to the Kids Creative School, has shut its doors for good again. Press Publications ran an article, “Kids Cooking School now equipped for food, arts and crafts classes” March 30. The school, which was located at 307 Village Parkway in Circle Pines, was in the process of adding an art studio and outdoor classroom and was just gearing up for its popular summer camps.

The Kids Creative School was leasing space. Last week, owner Tiffany Cavegn announced on social media that “our lovely school did not survive the pandemic … Our hearts are heavy, but we are happy to provide full refunds.”

This is not the first time the business has closed its doors. The Kids Cooking School closed back in September 2018. It then found a temporary home at Oak Hill Montessori School in Shoreview in 2019. Two weeks before the March 2020 pandemic shutdown, Cavegn signed a lease for the school’s new (and current location) in Circle Pines.

Uptick in bear sightings Several bear sightings have recently been reported throughout the north metro. Upon checking with area law enforcement agencies, most of the bear sightings are not reported in an official capacity to police, but rather shared on social media platforms.

Report a bear sighting The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is trying to keep track of Minnesota’s black bear range, which has been expanding southward and westward. If you see a black bear outside of its primary range (shown in black on the map), please report the information online at www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/ bear/bear-sightings.html. Your name and contact information will not be made public.

Living with bears in Minnesota The black bear is an iconic species usually associated with Minnesota’s north woods. While they are common throughout the forested northern and central portions of the state, they can live throughout the state, and sometimes wander into cities and towns.

Black bears are naturally cautious animals that avoid human contact for their safety, but conflicts between people and bears can arise. To live peacefully with bears, humans play a part by being responsible for their behavior. We can prevent conflict and stay safe, at home and while exploring nature, by reducing the availability of bear attractants and preparing for bear encounters.

Reduce bear conflicts by reducing attractants

Conflicts between people and bears have increased as more people build homes and cabins and recreate in northern and central Minnesota.

Conflicts can arise when bears

interact with domestic pets, tip over garbage cans, or damage bird feeders, personal property, beehives, livestock and agricultural crops.

The best way to avoid problems with bears is to not attract them in the fi rst place. Once a bear finds a food source, it will return repeatedly.

Bears prefer natural foods and are especially attracted to calorie-dense food sources. They have an incredible sense of smell, are opportunistic and are easily attracted to foods or food sources provided by humans (including things like dog food, birdseed and grease).

Bear attractants are things that smell, taste or look like food to bears.

These include birdseed, dog food, grease on grills, garbage, fish entrails and fruit. Taking the initiative to secure or remove attractants will help prevent bears from becoming a nuisance.

Did you know?

Bears can consume 12,00020,000 calories a day to prepare for hibernation. That’s the equivalent of 6-7 pounds of black oil sunflower seed or about 700-800 acorns.

All VFW Buddy Poppies are genuine products of the work of disabled and needy veterans. Today, Buddy Poppies are still assembled by disabled and needy veterans in Veterans Health Administration hospitals.

The VFW Buddy Poppy program provides compensation to the veterans who assemble the poppies, provides financial assistance in maintaining state and national veterans’ rehabilitation and service programs, and partially supports the VFW National Home for Children.

Both the American Legion and VFW ask for freewill donations.

Baseball: Mustangs reel off 5 straight wins

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORT CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View baseball has won five straight games with their hitting coming around after a poor start. The Mustangs are 8-4 and hold third place in the Suburban East.

The last loss was against fi rstplace Stillwater 1-0 on April 28 when Ben Rosin lost a pitchers’ duel to the Ponies’ Gavin Zurn.

The Mustangs started the streak beating Woodbury 4-2 in eight innings April 30 as Mason Dean delivered two-run double in the eighth, Will Rogers and Reid Thurston homered, and Rogers pitched the distance. They edged Blaine 7-6 on May 1 with Rogers knocking in two runs with a double and homer.

The Mustangs beat secondplace Park 8-4 in Cottage Grove on May 3, scoring five runs in the fi rst inning off Gophers’ recruit Tucker Novotny, including a two-run single by Logan Grimm.

Andrew Boeser and Blake Guerin (2 2/3 shutout innings) pitched, and freshman Drew Rogers hit a solo homer. Several major league scouts were watching, coach Mark Downey said.

In a 3-1 win at Roseville on May 5, Rosin pitched six strong innings, allowing one run and striking out eight, while Will Rogers hit a two-run homer and a double. Rogers hurled a 3-0 win over Irondale on May 3 on a four-hitter with nine strikeouts, beating Jack Zupfer, a D-I recruit (St. Thomas). Brendan Goldman scored on a double steal, and Guerin and Ryan Seim had RBI singles.

Mounds View’s reigning state tennis singles champion, Bjorn Swenson, placed fi fth among 128 entrants the USTA’s National Level 1 Invitational Tournament in Indianapolis May 1-5. “A tremendous feat,” noted Scott Sundstrom, Mustangs coach.

Swenson won seven of eight matches. Swenson, a junior who was the 2019 Class 2A singles champion as a freshman, won seven of eight matches in Indianapolis.

Emmanuel Alex also competed at the national tournament so the Mustangs were missing their 1-2

players when they lost two matches at the Edina Invitational, which included seven top-ten ranked teams.

They have a 10-3 record.

The Mustangs, reigning state champs from 2019, had a “golden match,” Sundstrom said, against Park where they had all 6-0, 6-0 wins.

This week, they will face four ranked teams, including East Ridge on Tuesday for the conference title.

Mounds View runners Elliott McArthur and Will Skelly have the top two reported times in the state for the 1600 meters this season, according to the track honor roll on the athletic. net web site. McArthur, a sophomore, won with 4:16.89 and Skelly, a junior, was second with 4:17.88 in a Wayzata meet on May 7. McArthur also has the best time in the 3200 run, 9:20.45, set April 22 in Rosemount. In the 800 run, Skelly is second with 1:56.07 and McArthur third with 1:57.47, both set at Wayzata. Mounds View’s 4x400 relay also ranks fi rst with a 3:26.97 recorded by Ellis Maloney, Skelly, McArthur, and Victor Lelinga, also in Wayzata. On the girls team, junior Hadley Streit ranks third in shot put with 39-4.

Those with experience issue warning: Be Lyme aware 2-week therapy not always enough

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

The month of May doesn't just bring flowers. It also brings that nemesis of the great outdoors: the blacklegged tick that causes Lyme disease.

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month.

Talk to people who attend a local Lyme support group, and it becomes obvious the disease is endemic here, despite myriad efforts to preach prevention.

Preventing a tick bite remains the primary goal of the Minnesota Lyme Association (MLA), a 15-year-old advocacy group that holds monthly support meetings at the White Bear School District Center (or did, pre-COVID), in addition to hosting speakers with expertise on researching, diagnosing and treating tick-borne diseases.

Founded by Anne Myre of Scandia in 2006, MLA helps those afflicted by Lyme or tick-borne disease lead a healthy, vibrant life. She started the support group out of desperation as she was suffering from chronic fatigue and joint pain that was traced to a tick bite.

"When I began this journey, I wanted other people with chronic Lyme to know they weren't alone. When I was first treated 16 years ago, I had to go to Colorado to get treatment. We've come a long way in understanding the disease, but it baffles me to this day that more doctors don't pay attention to the issue."

Lyme is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. It is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected blacklegged, or deer, tick.

According to the Department of Health, Minnesota is one of 14 states that has the majority of Lyme disease cases. In 2017 (current data isn't available), the rate was 25.2 cases per 100,000 people compared to the national rate of 9.1 cases per 100,000 people.

Myre's goal with the nonprofit she started is prevention, prevention, prevention.

"Be aware that ticks are out, and there are ways to prevent a bite," she emphasized. "It's very important to never get the disease in the first place."

An early attendee of Myre's support group, Brenda Peltier, knows from experience. About a year after noticing what she thought was a heat rash, she was clinically diagnosed by an infectious disease doctor in Duluth. It was 2007. "By then, I was really sick," said the Hugo resident.

The rash went away, but Peltier was left with "crushing" fatigue and joint pain.

She ignored it. Then her eyelid drooped; in April 2008 she was bitten again. Ten days later, the bullseye rash appeared.

Her family physician dismissed the rash and prescribed an anti-fungal cream. Two weeks later, she attended a MLA meeting, back when they met in a Forest Lake church, to hear a talk about gluten-free diets. "I asked them to look at my leg rash and they said, 'Dude, that's Lyme.'"

Peltier's Lyme has persisted, as evidenced by more and more symptoms. Her primary care doctor passed her off to a neurologist, rheumatologist and then an ophthalmologist. She suffers headaches and joint pain, facial palsy and a disorder in her eyes that requires special prisms in her glasses.

"Then it hit my heart," Peltier said.

"I had all the symptoms of a heart attack," Peltier recalled. She found doctors were "very dismissive of a Lyme diagnosis" and they "twice kicked me out of the hospital." She's not giving up, however, and after five cardiologists, her next step is to see an electro-physiologist. She's

expecting the doctor to recommend an ablation procedure due to her erythema but will be seeking long-term antibiotic therapy such as rifampin — something a physician "well-versed in Lyme" previously prescribed short term.

Peltier estimates her tests and treatments for tick-borne disease have cost about $75,000, most of it covered by good health insurance. She doesn't feel her illness will ever be cured.

Her advice: "If you have the bullseye rash, you have Lyme. It's not prudent to wait on a test. If done too early, the result will be negative anyway."

Better diagnostics, treatment strategies There are advances in disease diagnostics, however, that offer speedy results.

Dr. Jonathan Otten, a naturopathic physician with Northern Lights Medicine who specializes in Lyme disease and other tickborne illnesses, talked about diagnostics and treatment strategies during an April Lyme meeting hosted by the MLA. "The disease is near and dear to my heart," said the White Bear Lake doctor, who sees many chronically ill patients.

He is using a test developed by a German tick-borne disease expert to guide treatment plans and facilitate full recovery, "or as much as we can achieve with Lyme," Otten said. The test is called ELISpot and is available through InfectoLab, an Oakdale diagnostic lab founded by the German doctor Dr. Carsten Nicolaus.

"The test offers a rapid, on-the-ground picture of the state of infection by measuring the presence of active (fighting) antigen specific T-cells," Otten explained.

"Often in patients who have been infected for a long time — chronically ill folks — the humoral immune response is negatively affected due to immune evasion or immunosuppression caused by the infection. Some people have been infected 20 to 30 years. The Western blot test won't pick them up."

Early symptoms of Lyme disease include a rash at the site of the bite, fever, chills, muscle and joint aches, muscle pain or swollen lymph nodes. Note that about 30% of people never develop an erythema migrans, a telltale rash that means there is Lyme disease.

Chronic issues that can be Lyme related are still "underappreciated" in the medical community, Otten said. If not diagnosed and treated early, Lyme can become persistent or chronic, as is the case with Myre and Peltier. Years later, the disease can be mistaken for multiple sclerosis (MS), Lou Gehrig’s disease (amytrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS), fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's or mental illness.

Sometimes, treating a bite with two weeks of doxycycline (the commonly prescribed treatment) is not enough.

Otten discussed a case of a 57-year-old man who developed the rash in 2017 and received the two-week antibiotic regiment from his primary care provider. The rash resolved, which it will regardless of treatment, Otten said. The standard Lyme antibody test at the time was negative.

"In the next few years, he developed stabbing pains in his arms, forgetfulness and short-term memory loss, joint pain and some disequilibrium. We tested for burgdorferi, bartonella and babesia through InfectoLab. He showed all three."

Otten said he started the patient on herbal antimicrobials, probiotics, 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily and a triple regimen of antibiotics using azithromycin, rifampin and minocycline. A single antibiotic won't be successful if there is persistence, he said.

"There is a subset of patients who need ongoing treatment for years to control symptoms," noted Otten. "In those cases, I'm always looking for what else is going on that the immune system doesn't recover."

After two months, the chronic pain is significantly reduced, and cognitive function is back to normal. In March, the bartonella was negative and babesia "trending towards resolution. The Lyme is also trending in the right direction. Why is this helpful?" he asked. "It shows babesia and Lyme appear to be persisting."

Another drug Otten uses for chronic sufferers is disulfiram, an antimicrobial for borellia persistence. "Used for alcoholism, the drug got a lot of attention in the Lyme community," Otten said.

Noting that it’s "peak tick-borne illness season," the White Bear physician, like Myre, stressed prevention.

"Prevention is difficult, but not as difficult as treating a disease that's been smoldering for months or years."

TIPS FOR LYME DISEASE PREVENTION

1. Reduce tick habitat where you live, work and play. On your property, remove fallen leaves, cut the grass short and keep woodpiles neat to reduce tick numbers.

2. Landscape to discourage ticks from hanging around your yard. A tick management handbook describes steps at mnlyme.org.

3. Use sprays containing permethrin on your clothing, footwear, camping and hunting gear and 30% DEET or 20% picaridin on your skin.

4. Tuck shirts into pants, pant legs into socks, tie up long hair and tuck it into a hat, etc., to inhibit tick movement.

5. Promptly put tick-exposed clothing into the dryer on high heat for 60 minutes if wet/damp or 15 minutes if dry. Take a shower; vigorous scrubbing will remove ticks that aren’t fully attached.

6. Check yourself and your animals for ticks immediately and for several days after being in a tick-infested area. Make tick checks a habit for all family members after any outdoor activity. The sooner ticks are found and removed, the less chance you and your family have of becoming infected.

7. Carefully remove and save any attached ticks for your doctor to identify.

If you are bitten, have a discussion with your doctor about using antibiotics to prevent disease. It’s important to know that:

• Waiting to see if an EM (erythema multiforme) rash develops is risky, because some patients will never develop one • A single dose of doxycycline isn’t very effective • Better options use longer courses of antibiotics From Minnesota Lyme Association

BOATING: How to stay safe on the water this summer patience at the ramps and making sure that you have everything ready before you launch your boat so you have the smooth transition,” she noted.

While out on the water, own your wake. A sure way to cause a problem with another boater is to cast a big, intrusive wave at another boat, swimmer, angler or shoreline owner.

This could be dangerous to people who are unable to handle a large wake. Boaters should stay at least 200 feet from the shoreline and other boaters, according to the DNR. “Every boat creates a wake. Make sure you check your wake if you’re going by smaller fishing boats or paddlers,” Dugan said. “We’ve had paddlers get severely injured because boaters fly past them and the wake overturns their boats.”

Boaters should be familiar with water markers and navigation rules of the body of water to prevent a collision. They should also be aware if the lake they are on has a speed limit or slow no-wake zone restriction. It’s the boater’s responsibility to respect the rules and follow them. Boaters should always remember they are accountable for any damage they cause to other people’s property, according to the DNR. Since music and sound is amplified over water, boaters should keep the

volume at an appropriate level. This can be disturbing for some people and could also make it hard for the driver to hear a spotter when someone is water skiing, tubing or kneeboarding.

While you’re in the boat, keep the garbage out of the water. Have a garbage can on board or a plain garbage bag. Disposing of trash properly keeps the water clean and off the shorelines.

Dugan said boaters need to remember that if they have children in the boat, they are learning boating behavior from you. When you lead by example, children tend to follow your lead.

Boating etiquette is also about safe behavior while out on the water. In 2020, there were 16 boating fatalities in Minnesota compared to 10 in 2019.

The 2019 figure, according to Dugan, was a record low.

“Thirteen of the 16 fatalities in 2020 were not known to be wearing a life jacket, and 15 of the 16 fatalities in 2020 were men,” Dugan said.

There has been one boating fatality in the state thus far in 2021.

According to the DNR, 30% of boating fatalities in Minnesota occur in cold water.

“The ice went out early on many lakes across Minnesota this year, but the water hasn’t warmed as quickly as you might expect,” Dugan said.

“Water temperatures don’t adhere to a date on the calendar. While we’ve had

open water for weeks now, the water remains dangerously cold and an expected fall into it could be deadly.

Vigilance is key anytime you’re around the water, but especially when it’s cold.”

While temperatures continue to rise, water temperatures across the state generally are around 50 degrees, which is cold enough to cause a gasp reflex and incapacitate even the strongest swimmers in less than one minute.

Dugan noted that a Minnesota operators permit (boat license) is required for youth ages 12-17 to operate a motorized boat over 25 horsepower. They may operate a motorized boat of 25-75 horsepower without an operator’s permit as long as there is someone at least 21 years old on board with them.

For youth interested in obtaining an operator’s permit, the DNR offers an online boating safety course that takes approximately 8-10 hours to complete.

“The course walks you through the navigation requirements and state requirements. The online course has improved quite a bit by being more interactive. If you get a wrong answer, it reinforces what the correct answer is, and that question will come back in the test,” Dugan said. “There are more videos and it’s not text-heavy.

You’re learning the skills you need to learn.”

Before the first launch of the season, anglers are reminded to inspect their watercraft and gear; enlist a mechanic to check exhaust systems for potential carbon monoxide leaks; and verify motorboats are equipped with the following: • U.S. Coast Guard-approved wearable life jackets for each person on board (children under 10 must wear a properly fitting life jacket while underway).

• A throwable flotation device on boats 16 feet or longer.

• A horn or a whistle.

• Type B, U.S. Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher.

• Navigation lights in working order.

• Valid boat registration, with numbers visible.

Safety tips for boaters as they prepare to enjoy a day on the water: • Leave the alcoholic beverages on the shore. Drunk boating is the same as drunk driving.

• Wear a life jacket. It’s the best way to stay safe on the water.

• Enjoy the view and put away the phone.

Just as distracted driving is a concern on our roads, distracted boating can lead to accidents and fatalities on our waters.

• Take a boating safety course. A vast majority of boating accidents occur on boats where the operator has not taken a boating safety class.

Sixty-two journalists were killed for their work in 2020, and many more lost their lives to COVID-19. We owe them a debt of gratitude. The pandemic has also exacerbated existing challenges, with numerous media now facing fi nancial losses. The power of Internet platforms has been further entrenched, with lockdowns forcing much of daily life online. And false information and rumours have flourished, in some cases with fatal consequences.The theme of this year’s World Press Freedom Day, “Information as a Public Good”, underlines the indisputable importance of verified and reliable information. It calls attention to the essential role of free and professional journalists in producing and disseminating this information, by tackling misinformation and other harmful content.

Thirty years ago this week, journalists, editors and publishers from across Africa gathered to draft a call for press freedom, the “Declaration of Windhoek on Promoting an Independent and Pluralistic African Press”. This landmark Declaration aimed to make the free flow of information a public good – a goal which still resonates today. Since 1991, the information landscape has undergone tremendous changes, especially with the advent of the Internet and social media. We now have incredible opportunities to express ourselves, stay informed and connect with others. But we are also facing a rise in misinformation and hate speech, the upending of media business models and the concentration of power in the hands of just a few private companies.The pandemic has underlined the need for reliable information.

It is independent journalism that has helped us make sense of this crisis. Journalists have reported from the field, even at great personal risk. Many

GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE AQUATIC DENIZENS OF MINNESOTA LAKES It’s a late fishing opener this year—May 15 is about as late as it can be. Below is an overview of some of the common fish species you might find in the lakes of the Northeast Metro and throughout Minnesota this fishing season.

WALLEYE A prize fish for Minnesota anglers, these fish aren’t as abundant in the Twin Cities as they used to be.

The biggest walleye weigh more than 10 pounds.

How to catch: Jigs and live bait fished on bottom.

Evening/dusk/dawn hours are best.

How to eat: Always great fried on a sandwich, but its fine flavor also works well for pan-searing in cream sauce, tossing in a parmesan crust or marinating with lime for fish tacos.

NORTHERN PIKE Shaped like a torpedo with a mouth full of sharp teeth, the northern pike is one of the most iconic fish of Minnesota waters. They range from 18-30 inches in length, and tend to prefer vegetated areas of lakes and slow-moving rivers.

How to catch: Spoons, plugs, minnows and suckers.

How to eat: Pickled pike is a Scandinavian classic in Minnesota. All you need is some vinegar, onions, lemon juice and spice, brined overnight, for a tasty snack on crackers.

MUSKELLUNGE The giant of Minnesota lakes, muskies lurk in clear lakes and rivers and defend their territories aggressively. The name comes from the Ojibwe word “mashkinonge” meaning “big pike.”

How to catch: 10-12 lb. line, fast retrieve of heavy, active plugs or spoons.

How to eat: Many like to pan-roast muskie with spices, or fry into fish cakes. Many catch and release these trophies so another angler can enjoy pulling it in again.

SMALLMOUTH BASS Dark vertical stripes, as well as the shorter mouth, distinguish this fish from the largemouth bass.

These fish can grow up to 15 inches and weigh up to 4 pounds.

How to catch: Slow to fast retrieve of plastic worms, minnows, plugs, spoons, spinners along rocks, logs and undercuts.

How to eat: Roasted or pan-fried with spices and summer vegetables.

BLUEGILL These panfish are recognizable by the dark mark next to their gill and the black barred vertical striping along the length of their body. They range in length from 3-5 inches and can weigh up to one pound.

How to catch: June is the best month for catching bluegill; still fishing or slow retrieval of worms, small jigs, flies.

How to eat: Bluegills are very easy to fillet and can be cooked in a number of ways.

CRAPPIE There are two crappie species in Minnesota—black crappie and white crappie. Both are silvery-white in color, but the black crappie is usually heavily speckled with dark spots, while the white crappie has light black vertical stripes. Black crappies tend to prefer clear lakes, while white crappies can be found in rivers and backwaters.

How to catch: Still fishing or deep, slow retrieve of minnows, worms, plugs, spoons, jigs.

How to eat: Coat in cracker crumbs or corn meal and pan fry.

BULLHEAD SPECIES Several bullhead species are found in the Northeast Metro, but all are recognizable by the whiskers, or barbels, below their chin. They have no scales and are very slippery. They have a spine in their dorsal and pectoral fins that can deliver a mild toxin that can cause a stinging or burning sensation, but it is harmless to humans.

How to catch: Still fishing with worms or small fish close to the bottom.

How to cook: Fry and put on crusty rolls with tomato, lettuce, pickles and hot sauce for a catfish po’ boy.

LARGEMOUTH BASS One of the most fun angling fish in local lakes.

Largemouth bass can grow up to 13 inches long, and weigh more than 3 pounds. These fish are known for aggressively taking bait. They can be distinguished from smallmouth bass by the placement of the hinge of their mouth, which extends past their eye.

How to catch: Slow retrieve of worms, frogs, minnows, plugs, spoons in vegetation beds.

How to eat: Grilled or pan-friend with lemon and garlic.

YELLOW PERCH Common in the shallows around docks, perch are pale yellow or orange in color, with dark vertical stripes along the length of their body. These fish can reach 8-10 inches in length.

How to catch: Jigs, flies, live bait in open water during the day or vegetation beds at night.

How to eat: Coat in butter, herbs, cracker crumbs and bake, or pan-fry with potatoes for oldfashioned fish and chips.

Compiled using information from the Minnesota DNR

IF YOU CATCH A FISH THAT YOU THINK COULD BE A RECORD, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

• • •

Weigh the fish on a state-certified scale (found at most bait shops and butcher shops), witnessed by two observers.

Take the fish to a DNR fisheries office for positive identification and a state record fish application.

Complete the State Record Fish submission form PDF and send it along with a clear, full-length photo of your fish to the address listed on the form.
