Summer job

ny first job is one to remember, whether a good experience or bad. We learn from doing-some of us even more than others.

Summer jobs for first-timers range from lawn mowing, landscaping or working at restaurants or retail counters. Some of my friends from high school to this day talk about working at Wild Mountain Ski Area with the alpine slides, canoe rental and riverboats. Others tried their hand at Pine Tree Apple Orchard or with the Parks and Rec programs.

A few of my friends had paper routes, or caddied at the Dellwood and White Bear Yacht Club. My sister was a nanny. Most of these Publisher’s jobs are still popular locally today.

However, with minimum wage on View the increase, small business emCarter Johnson ployers have been priced out of the market. They can’t afford to take a chance on youth employees. If your son or daughter is struggling to find a summer job, consider a paper route with Press Publications.

Our average youth carrier is 11-16 years old and the weekly responsibility takes around 20-40 minutes to deliver 60 papers. It’s not a get-rich job and it has to be done accurately and on time. The upside is it is an opportunity to manage your own business, learn by experience, get to know your neighborhood and learn time management and how to be efficient. In return, carriers typically get good tips.

If you or someone you know is interested in a paper route, please give Greg, Evelyn or Gale a call at 651-407-1200 and leave a message, or email ppcirc@ presspubs.com. We also have motor routes for people looking for a little something to do after hours by delivering newspapers in the early morning or late evening by automobile.

Starting seeing kids and bikes Do you remember the bright yellow “Start Seeing Motorcycles” bumper sticker from the 1980s? It was a brilliant campaign created by great minds right here in the northeast metro. One of our neighbors was involved in the campaign and tells the story of being distracted and accidentally hitting my brother as he crossed Lake Avenue on his new blue Schwinn bike. Back then, the accident was not caused by texting on a cell phone. Accidents happen even when you are paying attention. This summer as schools let out around our communities and kids are out walking, biking and skateboarding, lets all do our best to start seeing kids and bikes.

Beekeeping Last week my 13-year-old daughter and I suited up and tended to our two bee hives. As rookie beekeepers, it’s pretty intimidating to open up a hive for the first time, and I know that staying calm is important. Abbey and I both were interested in finding the queen bee, which she has named “Beeyoncé.” As we inspected the 10 frame boxes, it was truly amazing to see thousands of dark golden colored honey bees at work.

As we finished up the inspection we felt like all signs pointed to adding a second box to each hive.

One task is smoking the bees, which helps keep them in the hive. We used a traditional smoker and burned a combination of burlap sack and clean blank newspaper. As we worked on the hive you could hear the bees’ tone change. We quickly got acquainted and only a few of the bees seemed ticked off at us. Those were clearly the protectors of the hive. It’s been fascinating to learn about the different roles of the members of the hive. If you are curious about beekeeping, take a course, then find a mentor, and lastly buy the equipment. I found my hives with a tiny ad in this newspaper. Remember to check with your city or township regulations.

I started the process on Nov. 11, 2017 with a bee permit. It required permission from all neighbors within 100 feet of the property. Getting permission was easy. The hard part was meeting my city’s requirement for bee keeping, since it’s an uncommon permit. You really need to plan a year ahead.

Under GOP majority, Legislature beholden to special interests

T

he 2018 legislative session ended Sunday, May 20. In my five years of public service at the Capitol, I have never witnessed a Legislature more beholden to big money special interests.

The GOP majority killed a lot of good ideas and ignored the voices of ordinary people – all in an effort to tee up political attacks for the midterm elections. It was a shameful display Legislator of partisanship the entire session, and I think MinLingo nesotans deserve Jason Isaacson to know what happened.

The mere days Th session i began b after a shooting left 14 children and three teachers dead in Parkland, Florida. Stoneman Douglas was the third-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. In Sante Fe, Texas, days before the session ended, the fi fth-deadliest school shooting occurred. Ten Americans lost their lives that day. By the end of the legislative session, 22 school shootings occurred in America – an average of more than one per week. More kids have been shot to death in school than soldiers on the battlefield this year.

Tens of thousands of brave Minnesota students, teachers, and parents visited the Capitol this year to demand better criminal back-

ground checks, red flag laws, and other proposals to stem the bloodshed. Despite robust grassroots organizing and public opinion polling showing nearly universal support across all demographics, the Senate GOP majority did not hold a single public hearing about gun violence this year. House Speaker Kurt Daudt said publicly that he believes any new laws to address gun violence would need the backing of the NRA. It is downright shameful that the GOP majority sided with the NRA over students. What kind of message does that send to our young people? Although I am not surprised by my colleagues’ inaction, I refuse to give up on passing common sense gun safety in Minnesota. I will continue to partner with students, teachers and families to prevent another mass shooting from happening.

According to the Minnesota Department of Health, opioid overdose deaths have increased 600 percent since 2000. Dozens of pharmaceutical industry lobbyists prowled the Capitol halls in the final weeks of session to kill a bipartisan plan that would have required opioid manufacturers to share in the cost of treatment and public safety. Instead of holding Big Pharma accountable for the opioid crisis they helped create, the GOP majority killed the bill, and now taxpayers will shoulder 100 percent of the costs of the opioid crisis.

My colleagues on the other side

of the aisle waited until the last minute to do the hard work of legislating. In the dark of night less than 24 hours before our constitutional deadline, with little to no debate, they passed a 990-page phone book-size budget packed with controversial policies that have no place in a finance bill. Even worse, their tax bill lets multi-national corporations keep foreign income repatriated to the United States tax-free, costing Minnesota taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in coming years. I am glad Governor Dayton vetoed both bills.

When a new Legislature returns to the Capitol in January 2019, lawmakers must do a better job sticking up for ordinary people. Special interests have gotten their way for too long. If you want to learn more about what happened during the session, I’m holding a town hall meeting Thursday, June 14 from 6-8 p.m. at Shoreview City Hall.

Jason Isaacson is a state senator representing District 42 (Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, Mounds View, Roseville, Little Canada, Arden Hills, Gem Lake, and a portion of Spring Lake Park. ) He is a member of the following committees: Jobs and Economic Growth Finance and Policy; Higher Education Finance and Policy: Human Services Reform Finance and Policy: and Agriculture, Rural Development, and Housing Policy.

Help your garden become a natural oasis

here’s no such thing as a free lunch but, if you know where to look, you might get free (or discounted) plants for a garden instead.

The east metro area is home to more than 200 lakes, dozens of streams, countless wetlands and the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers. Watershed Districts and soil and water conservation districts work hard to protect these many waterways from runoff pollution, erosion and other sources of contamination. However, because 80 percent of the land in Minnesota is privately owned, private landowners are a critical part of the clean-water equation as well.

That’s why local partners provide a variety of incentive and assistance programs to help residents and property owners improve habitat and protect water resources with raingardens, stream and lake buffers, prairies, woodland plantings, pollinator gardens and other clean-water projects.

By planting trees, shrubs and deep-rooted native plants, homeowners help rain to soak into the ground so that it recharges groundwater

aquifers instead of running off into storm sewers or waterways. The deep roots of these plants also act as natural erosion control, which is especially helpful on hillsides and shorelines.

Raingardens can feature a variety of native or perennial flowers and grasses and are designed to catch runoff from rooftops, driveways and roads so that the water has time to soak into the ground evaporate instead of Movers and or running off. In addition to helping water, Shakers these natural landscaping projects provide Angie Hong habitat for birds and pollinators and beautify yards large and small.

Here is a breakdown of programs and upcoming events to help you get started on a clean-water garden of your own: • Free site visits: The Washington Conservation District (WCD) offers free site visits to anyone in Washington County, including homeowners, large property owners, agricultural

producers and businesses. During the visit, staff can identify best locations for planting projects and provide information about available grants. The WCD also provides designs and technical assistance for planting projects.

Request a visit at www.mnwcd.org or 651-330-8220 x35.

• Stewardship grants: Local watershed management organizations offer grants to support clean-water planting projects. The amount of the grants varies depending on the size and water-quality benefi t of the project, but they will generally provide $500$15,000 toward the purchase of plants, mulch, materials and contract labor for raingardens, shoreline restoration and agricultural projects. To fi nd your watershed, go to cleanwatermn.org and use the map at the bottom of the page.

• Rain barrel and compost bin discounts: Washington County is currently selling rain barrels and compost bins in partnership with the Recycling Association of Minnesota. Rain barrels are $59 for county residents ($79 for non-residents) and compost bins are $44 for residents ($64 for non-residents). Order on-line

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Beware restrictive covenants I was reminded recently that some areas within Shoreview have or had restrictive covenants established when the area was developed. Typically, these are fi led with the Ramsey County property tax department. Restrictive covenants limit what can or can’t be done by homeowners or areas within the development. I believe new homeowners should receive a copy of these restrictions from the previous owner. Verifying if these exist can prevent uncomfortable and costly issues from arising in the future.

Marshall Kult Shoreview

Applaud student walkout As opposed to Mr. Chris Wolff (Shoreview Press, May 5), I heartily applaud the students at Mounds View High School and Chippewa Middle School for their willingness to demonstrate their concerns!

They are good citizens and will make informed and active voters.

Mr. Wolff seems to think that expressing one’s aversion to being shot and killed is somehow a political act! It seems to me that it is simply self-preservation. Unfortunately, Mr. Wolff, Kurt Daudt, the Speaker of the House, and Rep. Randy Jessup appear to be deaf to the message our children and grandchildren are trying to deliver. Mr Wolff, in particular, seems to be more concerned about his wallet then he is about the safety and welfare of our children and grandchildren. Mr Daudt is apparently wedded to the National Rifle Association and one wonders about Mr. Jessup.

Proud of Shoreview’s new tobacco ordinance

I am proud to be a resident and active citizen in Evergreen Shores community currently serving as co-chair of our Human Rights Commission. Thank you to the Shoreview City Council and our mayor for protecting our youth by raising the tobacco sales age to 21.

I appreciate the city for taking the initiative to get tobacco products out of high schools, which is what

at www.co.washington.mn.us/2813/ Backyard-Composting and pick up at the Environmental Center in Woodbury. A limited number of barrels and bins will also be on-sale during the Landscape Revival in Oakdale on Saturday, June 9.

• Upcoming plant sales: Looking for native plants for your gardens? The Washington County Master Gardeners will hold their annual plant sale on Sunday, June 3, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Washington County Fairground in Lake Elmo. Offerings include pollinator-friendly, native, shade, flowers, shrubs, vegetables and herbs.

The Landscape Revival will be held on Saturday, June 9, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at Richard Walton Park in Oakdale. Seven local retailers will be on site selling chemical-free native plants. There will also be live music, a food truck and activities led by local conservation groups.

Find additional native plant retailers at www.BlueThumb.org.

Contact her at 651-330-8220 x35 or angie.hong@mnwcd.org.

POLITICAL BRIEF Tobacco 21 does. It widens the gap between those who can legally purchase tobacco and cuts out the pipeline to younger students with little impact on retailers.

Raising the tobacco sales age to 21 also works to stop them from starting, as 95 percent of current smokers started before they were 21. If youth don’t start by 21, they likely never will.

The tobacco industry has long targeted our young people, African Americans, Native Americans, LGBTQ and women with flavored tobacco products, particularly menthol. This ordinance addresses that targeting and the health disparities it has caused.

Shoreview is the sixth Minnesota city to raise the tobacco sales age to 21. I am proud to live in a city that is willing to prioritize the health of its youngest residents over tobacco industry profits. Shoreview is a leader, and I strongly urge our elected state officials to follow suit.

CREATE YOUR LEGACY BUILD THE FOUNDATION

Student rallies effective use of tax dollars I need to respond to the letter to the editor submitted by Chris Wolff in which he objects to rallies during school time as a misuse of tax dollars. I completely disagree with that premise. Having students actively involved in civic/political activities important to them is one of the most powerful teaching/learning tools in existence, and should be encouraged. Our Mounds View teachers and administrators should be applauded for approving this type of activity to teach the importance of becoming informed citizens in a democracy. Believe me, these students are applying a lot of subject matter knowledge skillfully as they are involved in emotionally charged issues at the local as well as state level. I can’t think of a wiser or more effective use of our tax dollars.

Not only as a parent of several Mound View graduates and a district taxpayer, but also a former teacher and professor of teacher education, I enthusiastically endorse these types of activities.

HaniflPerforming Arts Center: Faces behind the name

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS WHITE BEAR EDITOR

The marquee on the city’s new performing arts center includes the surname Hanifl , after the Chicago-based foundation that bestowed $2.75 million to the theater’s capital campaign, thus securing naming rights. So who are the Hanifls?

Their names are Paul and Suzanne Hanifl , a socially and environmentally conscious couple now living in North Oaks who believe their business success should be shared.

The two met on a blind date in Frederick, Maryland.

Paul had graduated from the University of Wisconsin as a chemical engineer and was promptly drafted into the U.S. Army. He happened to be based in Frederick where Suzanne was attending Hood College.

Their upbringing was starkly different. Paul was one of six kids who grew up on the Mississippi River in LaCrosse, Wisconsin; Suzanne spent her formative years in northern India, attending missionary school in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Both have master’s degrees. Paul has an MBA from Northeastern University in Boston and Suzanne a master’s in home economics and child development.

The couple were living in Rhode Island in 1978 when Paul was offered a position as vice president of business development with Sage Products Inc., a health care product manufacturer outside Chicago. He holds dozens of patents.

“Sage grew because of new products,” Paul said.

“When you start something, it better be a good idea that people will buy five years later. That is the business acumen: understanding customers, understanding trends in the medical industry.”

Some of the pioneering products Sage developed are sharps disposal containers, antiseptic washcloths, pressure ulcer prevention and patient hygiene products such as disposable baths. Many of their products are in hospitals, movies about hospitals and TV doctor shows.

“It was always a goal of mine to have my products in a movie,” Paul maintained. One such movie displaying their products is “Outbreak,” starring Dustin Hoffman.

When Sage was sold to Stryker Medical in 2016, a $13 billion company, retirement soon followed.

Today, the Hanifls split their time between Naples, Florida, and North Oaks.

Months of the year are also reserved for fishing at their remote Canadian cabin and for traveling; mostly to exotic fi shing destinations. Exotic is not to be confused with luxurious. The Hanifls prefer wild, remote and primitive, although there was the week spent at a Russian billionaire’s lodge in eastern Siberia. The only way in was by helicopter.

“It was the Taj Mahal of hunting lodges,” Paul said.

He won the trip in a silent auction for a salmon foundation. World-record taimen, a member of the trout family, was on his fly fishing list. And catch them, they did. “Our group caught four of the top six taimen in the world ever caught on fly rods,” Paul noted.

The Hanifl s have fished all over the world: Mongolia, also for taimen; the Seychelles for giant trevally; Egypt for Nile perch; Dubai for queen fish. Name a species and chances are good the family of fi shermen know where and how to catch it.

The Hanifl s started their nonprofit 501(3)(c) foundation in 2000 to support communities through programs promoting environmental awareness, conservation, education, the arts and sciences, health and physical fitness.

Locally, the foundation helped build White Bear Lake’s performing arts center; there was also a

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Children’s Performing Arts board chair Sharon Hanifl-Lee, left, and her parents Paul and Suzanne Hanifl, attended a function last Thursday at the Performing Arts Center named for their foundation.

$500,000 grant in 2010 to build Hanifl Fields in Hugo, and Hanifl Family Wild Woods at the Minnesota Zoo. Globally, the couple has erected an outdoor educational/environmental studies wing at Suzanne’s former school in India, also called the Hanifl Center. They support health clinics for the underinsured in Florida and Illinois, and an after-school program for girls called “Sisters for Science” in Chicago ghetto neighborhoods.

The couple also have an interest in racehorses. They own a small thoroughbred operation named Suzanne Stables that is focused on breeding Minnesota horses for the track. A recent claim to fame occurred last week when one of their mares foaled a large colt out of American Pharaoh, the 2015 Triple Crown winner.

Still unnamed, he is the first colt born in Minnesota out of the famous sire.

So how did philanthropists from the Chicago area end up here? Their three children and nine grandchildren live in the metro area. A son lives in Excelsior; a daughter lives in Northfield and their oldest child, Sharon Hanifl -Lee, lives in Hugo.

Getting the Hanifl Performing Arts Center in White Bear Lake is a serendipitous happenstance that can be attributed to Sharon’s daughter and Paul and Suzanne’s granddaughter.

According to her mother, 13-year-old Maddox loves the stage and has dreams of being on Broadway.

Sharon serves on the board of directors for Children’s Performing Arts (CPA), formerly of Forest Lake, which now occupies the north wing of the new theater. It was Sharon who suggested the foundation provide the generous grant to house both the CPA and Lakeshore Players. The mother of three feels theater is a “life-changing positive force in the lives of children.”

SUBMITTED

Sharon Hanifl-Lee holds a giant trevally caught in the Seychelles Islands. The islands, famous for ecotourism, are 1,000 miles off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.

Suzanne Hanifl called it “an honor” to see their name on the new performing arts center. “We were given so much, you have to give back,” she said. “Hopefully it will be appreciated and used for education and entertainment by the entire community.”

Added Paul: “I think the mayor said it best at the groundbreaking when she said people were worried when Lakeshore Players went in, that the facility would often be sitting vacant. Now that there’s a second group in there, it will have life all the time.”

Hanifl-Lee describes her parents as highly intelligent people who are “generous, giving and caring.”

“My parents have been blessed with success,” she said. “We feel this success should be shared with the community. It makes them happy to see people succeed.”

SUBMITTED PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Suzanne and Paul Hanifl secured rights to the arts center with a generous gift from their foundation. Residents of Florida, the couple split their time between Naples, North Oaks and travel destinations. Fishing trips are always part of their itinerary.

Paul and Suzanne Hanifl with daughter Sharon Hanifl-Lee and her husband Mike at the Kentucky Derby in 2016. They own a small stable of racehorses in Minnesota with hopes of someday breeding a contender.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Work continues on the Centerville Road improvements.

The White Bear Town Board of Supervisors received a feasibility report for the project at its May 7 meeting. The project is a collaboration between Ramsey County, the city of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township.

The improvements would include construction of an additional northbound lane, installation of a traffic signal, and extension of a median from Meadowlands Drive to the new signal. The city of White Bear Lake, which is lead on the project, asked the town to share in the cost of the traffic signal.

The project would also include roadway widening, turn lanes, stormwater improvements, curb and gutter and partial street reconstruction.

The improvements are being done to improve traffic flow and safety. The estimated cost to the township for the signal is $75,000. The cost of the project overall is $1.12 million. That total includes $246,000 for median construction; $273,000 for roadway improvements; $320,000 for traffic signal installation; $142,000 for engineering and $142,000 for bidding, construction management, inspection and testing.

A consultant hired by the town found that the majority of improvement benefits would go to the properties on the east side of Centerville Road and those located within the city of White Bear Lake.

There are nine properties on the west side of the road. The township will determine a preliminary opinion of benefits, if any, accruing to those properties. The consultant determined that only Cub Foods benefits from the improvements.

The official public hearing will be held May 21, but one resident spoke at the meeting and said the township shouldn’t take on any of the cost because the improvements are being done to facilitate a development.

“It’s still a work in progress right now, as far as I’m concerned,” said board member Ed Prudhon.

Vietnam War veteran remembered for heroism

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD PRESS EDITOR

For 50 years, Ronald Radermacher did not say a word about the Vietnam War. It wasn't until his wife Dorothy decided to look through an old black suitcase that had been lying in their basement for years that she discovered many of the secrets and baggage he had been keeping about his time in the military. The suitcase was full of paperwork and other memorabilia.

“I opened it up and started reading some of the stuff and realized what was in there,” Dorothy said. She later decided to turn it into a scrapbook.

Ron, 71, died peacefully in his home in Lino Lakes surrounded by his family on May 14. He had been in hospice care after complications from gallbladder surgery.

Although born in Melrose, Minnesota, Ron grew up in Sauk Centre, and graduated from Tracy High School in June 1964. At the age of 18, he was drafted into the Army and served his country as a gunner in a helicopter. He was part of the 173rd Assault Helicopter Company known as the “Robin Hoods.”

“They were the tough guys, they did the cleanup. If there was anybody that was injured, they were the ones going in to clear the way for the medics,” Dorothy explained.

“He explained it as 'they had to shoot everything they saw move.'”

The military kept trying to give Ron promotions, but he always turned them down because he wanted to get out of the Army as soon as he could.

SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Ronald Radermacher obtained the rank of specialist while in the military and earned multiple awards including: National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze Stars, Army Commendation Medal with “V” device and an Air Medal with 17 oak leaf clusters for each successful air mission.

He hated war and guns and wanted life to go back to the way it was before the draft.

During the war, Ron obtained the rank of specialist and earned multiple awards including: National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze Stars, Army Commendation Medal with "V" device and an Air Medal with 17 oak leaf clusters for each successful air mission.

Ron received an honorable discharge in 1967. His transition back into everyday life was not much of one because he was immediately thrown

back into the family business working as a meat cutter. He was expected to go on like nothing had ever happened.

“His family told me when he came back he was not the same person.”

Ron married Dorothy in July 1971; this year the couple would have celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary.

As Ron's spouse, Dorothy saw fi rsthand how the war impacted him. In addition to frequent flashbacks from untreated PTSD, he also suffered from anxiety and severe alcoholism. For years, Dorothy never got him to open up to her until he had

to go through the process of applying for veterans benefits in 2014.

He then began to share things with her and write things down in a journal. Despite the negatives, she said his time in the military gave him a greater appreciation for freedom. He was able to remain a very compassionate and caring person despite his traumatic experiences.

Ron will be remembered as a proud father and grandfather, an accomplished bowler, and an avid golfer, fisherman and cribbage player.

Ron was a member of Lino Lakes American Legion and

Ronald Radermacher

lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Knights of Columbus and the Lake City Sportsman's Club.

“He found passions and hobbies to take his mind off of everything,” Dorothy said.

“No matter what it was, or what he attempted, he gave it his all and came out a hero.”

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The swimming beach for canines at Matoska Park survived a city-imposed probationary period. It will remain an area amenity.

Thirteen months after new rules were imposed on users of the waterfront park, City Council revisited issues of compliance, or lack thereof, and took comments, pro and con from residents only.

After all was said and done, the vote was 3-2 to keep it open.

Significant to the motion was removal of the word “temporary.” The park is no longer on probation, although council did direct staff to look for alternative sites with water access.

Nearby resident Brian Bonin suggested fencing off part of Optimist Beach.

“It’s a space issue at Matoska,” he told council, “that has changed over time with more people using it.” He pitched the idea of giving 70 feet of city beach to the dogs since fewer people live near Optimist and “it’s not a backwater lake.”

The Eighth Street homeowner, who sat on the Parks Commission when the dog park was approved in 2007, complimented volunteers who clean up the dog beach, but doesn’t feel its many users can be trusted to follow the rules.

“We didn’t see enough improvement over the summer,” said Bonin, who no longer endorses the park.

Bonin’s wife Rachel asked council who she should call when a dog appears on her patio.

“There is also a defecation issue,” she added. “Water quality needs to be checked often (for bacteria).”

Councilman Dan Jones, who made the motion to keep it open, called the dog beach a unique amenity that was important to city residents.

The councilman compared enforcement of the leash ordinance to kids riding their bikes on the sidewalk. “That is illegal, too. Are we going to ticket them?”

Still, Jones feels compromise is warranted and asked for improved signage and increased enforcement.

Councilmen Kevin Edberg and Bill Walsh wanted the beach closed, following a recommendation by the Parks Advisory Commission.

“We need a dog park in the city; this isn’t the right

Dog beach users are reminded to follow rules posted at the park, located on White Bear Lake between Sixth and Seventh Streets.

site,” Edberg said. Walsh agreed, saying the beach was a “victim of its own success.”

At its Feb. 28, 2017 meeting, the City Council agreed to maintain the area for another year and established new rules to its use. Included was a requirement that all dogs remain on leash no more than 30 feet in length A slideshow of dogs doing their business along the shoreline, swimming outside the designated area and off leash, was playing during the council discussion. Homeowner Heidi Hughes, a Lake Avenue resident who lives across from the park, said most of the photos were hers.

“Any time of day, dogs were off leash,” she said.

“Dogs, kids and boats are not a good mix. It should be either for dogs or for people.”

Mayor Jo Emerson liked the idea of looking for another spot. “Those who don’t believe rules apply to them have ruined it,” she said.

All members agreed stronger enforcement is needed. City Manager Ellen Richter said she will work with public safety to address questions like who to call about loose dogs and possibly develop a plan for community service officers to patrol the beach for rule breakers.

Gateway Trail is a nursery for bluebirds

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

DELLWOOD — Every Saturday morning during spring and summer, the Holy Rollers bicycling group from St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi become caretakers for dozens of tiny families.

This group tends 16 bluebird houses along the Gateway Trail. Eastern bluebirds have long captured human imagination; they are known to many as a symbol of happiness. But this species of bird has faced many challenges, and needs a little bit of human help to thrive in our backyards.

Dellwood resident Dennis Lindeke is a member of the Holy Rollers, and also the president of the Gateway-Brown’s Creek Trail Association, a volunteer group of nearly 200 members that helps with upkeep and planning events along the trail corridor. A few years ago, the association was approached by Carolyn Baird, a member of the Bluebird Recovery Program of Minnesota, about placing a few bluebird houses along the trail.

The idea fit in perfectly with the cycling group from St. Andrew’s, which spends every Saturday morning biking the Gateway Trail during the spring, summer and fall.

“One of our missions is taking care of God’s creation,” Lindeke said.

Bluebirds suffered population declines for many years due partly to urban development. These birds only nest in cavities, which occur most often in old, dead trees. Deforestation led to fewer nesting places. Bluebirds also compete with other cavity-nesters for limited space. The type of bluebird houses placed along the Gateway Trail are small containers set above the ground on a post, most often near open fields. Bluebirds eat mostly insects, hunting caterpillars, beetles, crickets and more on the grassy ground nearby.

However, the American tree swallow also prefers this territory, and will make its nest in available bluebird boxes. This isn’t too much

of a problem, Lindeke explained. The solution is to put two bluebird houses near each other.

“We put up the houses in pairs along the trail because the bluebirds are kind of timid, and the other type

of bird that likes that type of house is the tree swallow. It’s a nice bird, but not as endangered as the bluebird is,” Lindeke said.

The tree swallows will use one house, and the bluebirds can use the other. Given only one house, the more aggressive swallows would chase the bluebirds away.

“Tree swallows won’t nest in both because tree swallows will fight each other,” Lindeke said. But tree swallows seem to think that having bluebirds as neighbors is okay.

One species Lindeke does not want to see in the bluebird houses are house wrens. Researchers don’t completely understand why, but male wrens are known to create multiple decoy nests in an area. Bluebird houses are an easy target, and the wren will not hesitate to fi ll it with sticks that prevent bluebirds from nesting inside. Volunteers clear out the boxes if they fi nd wren nests inside. Wrens have also been known to destroy the nests and eggs of other birds. However, they prefer more wooded habitat than bluebirds, so placing bluebird houses near open spaces can also deter wrens from interfering. While wrens can be damaging to bluebirds, Lindeke still appreciates them and places boxes for him in his own yard where bluebirds would be unlikely to nest.

Thanks to the efforts of Baird, Lindeke and members of the Trail Association and Holy Rollers, there are 16 bluebird houses on the Gate-

way Trail between Mahtomedi and the trail’s termination in Pine Point Park. The boxes fledge approximately 40 bluebirds a year, with a total of more than 180 over the last four years.

Over the course of a summer, most bluebirds nest twice. It takes about six weeks from hatching before a young bluebird is ready to leave the nest.

This year’s long winter has prevented Lindeke and company from placing the houses, since the ground is still too frozen to insert the posts, he explained. In milder winters, some bluebirds are already nesting by this time of the year.

“I haven’t seen a bluebird in my backyard yet,” Lindeke said. “They know enough not to come up here where all the snow is.”

Top-ranked Mustang netters cruise back to state tournament

By Bruce Strand Sports contributor

bruce strand | Submitted

Petro Alex uncorked a serve during his 6-2, 6-3 win against White Bear Lake in the section finals at the University of Minnesota.

The Mounds View tennis team will be back where they almost always are in early June: the state tournament.

The top-ranked Mustangs cruised through Section 4AA with victories over St. Paul Central 6-1, Stillwater 6-1 and, in the finals, White Bear Lake 7-0 on May 23.

“We are peaking at the right time,” coach Scott Sundstrom said after the section finals at the University of Minnesota. “We are playing like a team that has a chance to win a state championship.”

This will be Mounds View’s fifth consecutive state appearance, and 15th in 17 years. The program has claimed three state crowns in that span (2004, 2005 and 2015). The 1990 team also won, so the 2017 team

will be seeking title No. 5.

The Mustangs notched seven straight-set wins against a good White Bear Lake team (10-5) that had upset No. 2 St. Paul Harding 4-3 in the semifinals.

In singles, from 1 through 4, Petro Alex beat Cooper Anderson 6-2, 6-3; Bjorn Swenson beat Garrett Cain 6-0, 6-0; Michael Cao beat Samuel Andress 6-0, 6-3; and Akhil Chandra beat Blake Gressen 6-3, 6-1.

In doubles, Hank Trondson/Christo Alex beat Bennett King/Jason Williams 6-4, 6-2; Danny Zanow/Eli Grayson beat Orion Knutson/Matias Erickson 6-2, 6-1; and Peter Culp/Kenneth Diao beat Nathan Wilke/Charlie Sass 6-3, 6-3.

The Mustangs also vied for singles and doubles slots at state on May 25. (The Press had an earlier deadline for this edition due to Memorial Day).

Mustang trackmen are state runners-up in true-team

By Bruce Strand Sports contributor

Mounds View, perennial boys track power competing in its 27th state true-team meet, garnered a second-place finish behind Wayzata on Friday, May 18, in Stillwater.

“I expected the guys to compete at the highest possible level, and quite honestly, they did,” said coach Ross Fleming, who’s had eight championship teams and now five runner-up teams in true-team during his tenure.

Wayzata scored 1,251.5 points, Mounds View 1142.5 and Hopkins 1049.5 for the top three spots among 12 state qualifiers.

Josh Sampson turned in a stellar state meet as he won 300 meter hurdles (39.18), took fifth in 110 hurdles (15.13) and sixth in the 200 dash (22.63).

Another highlight was finishing 1-2 in the pole vault with Calvin Ciganik and Mike Louderback each clearing 14-0 while Spencer Tuominen placed 10th (12-0), The Mustangs scored big in hurdles. Along with Sampson, Joel Smith took fourth in the 300 (39.87) and fifth in the 110 (15.13). Josh Thomsen was 15th in the 300 and 19th

in the 110. Smith, defending state champion in the 300, is catching up after missing three weeks with a pinched nerve in his back.

Also in the sprints, Nick Sharma was third in the 200 (22.40) and fourth in the 100

(11.21). Micah Smith took third in the 400 (50.50) with Jared Hebert 12th (52.39).

In distance runs, Austin Streit was third in the 3200 (9:41.6) and fourth in the 1600 (4:20.73). Finn Sokolowski took 12th (9:51.13) and Will

Mounds View closed the regular season with a pair of one-hit shutouts and headed into the Section 5AAAA tournament (currently under way) with a 12-8 record. Josh Bonde blanked Osseo 6-0 on May 21, striking out six, then followed by Brett Bateman (five innings, nine strikeouts) and relievers Scott Kalthoff and Kyle Foske shutting out Washburn 5-0 on May 22. Carter Traczyk was 3-for-3 against Osseo and delivered a two-run single against Washburn. Ty Koehn was 3-for-6 with four stolen bases in the two games. Coach Mark Downey was pleased that the Mustangs defense finished the regular season with a fielding percentage of .954, just above the goal of .950.

They were fifth at StoneRidge with 323, led by Hartigan with 77 ad Roesler with 78. “If we can get our 4-6 guys to score a bit lower, we have a chance to win our section tournament at the end of May,” coach Adam Schmidt said. “The guys are working hard, and are focused on getting our team to state.”

“Our shot and discus guys had a great night. They just nailed it,” Fleming said.

Romeo Mackie took sixth in triple jump (42-3), with Jack Roeber eighth (42-2 3/4) and Jacob Grey 14th (41-6 3/4).

Grey, who’s gone 44 feet in triple jump, 22 feet in long jump and 10.3 the 100 dash, has been limited due to a pulled hamstring.

The Mustangs won the 4x400 (3:24) with Micah Smith, Lukas Hessini, Jared Herbert and Joel Smith, prevailing by 1.3 seconds over Wayzata in the final event.

“Jared ran his leg against the best distance runner in the state, Khalid Hussein, and stayed with him step for step so they couldn’t get a lead,” Fleming said. “Joel, running the anchor, waited 350 meters, then came around the curve and just blew their anchor away.”

They took fourth in the 4x800 (8:13.48), sixth in the 4x100 (43.84) and eighth in the 4x200 (1:33.07).

Josh Sampson was top scorer for Mounds View in the Mustangs’ second-place finish at the state true track meet May 18. Sampson, a junior, won 300 meter hurdles (39.18) while placing took fifth in 110 hurdles (15.13) and sixth in the 200 dash (22.63). His best hurdles times are 14.78 in the 110 at a Hopkins meet and 39.14 while winning the true-team sectional.

WEEKLY AVERAGES

Last week really got steamy and what better timing; heading XXX. XX - XX, 2018 into a major holiday weekend. We started the “summer” High 75° like weather off with a 90º temperature, first of the year, on Low 53° Thursday, May 24. Dew points made it feel quite steamy but just remember this is what you were wishing for back just a few %Sun 61% months ago. Meaningful rainfall has eluded us so far as some PCP 0.95” good amounts have been pilling up outstate. I’ve haven’t even totaled an inch rain, (0.72), as of May 24. Remarkably my yard still is green despite not watering.

A child’s perspective of wartime England

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS WHITE BEAR EDITOR

Alma Kochlin was 7 years old when Nazi Germany turned its bombers on England in September 1940.

She has vivid memories of the 6-foot pit dug into the earth behind her house for the family’s bomb shelter. It was covered with corrugated metal and sod to camoufl age the hiding place from the air.

Just about everything was rationed.

The family shared one metal comb because that’s all they were allotted. There was little meat, 2 ounces a week, which was saved for her father, “because he was the worker,” Kochlin said.

Fortunately, their home in Sale was far north of London, which was pummeled by the Germans for 56 consecutive days during the blitz. But they were in the line of sight for Manchester, a seaport 6 miles from Sale and targeted by the Luftwaffe, the German Air Force. A church was bombed in her town, and the local Woolworth’s.

Looking back, Kochlin speculates that if bombers flying overhead to Manchester didn’t make their target, they would drops bombs here and there on their way back across England.

She will never forget the sound of the bombs or the sound of the sirens. “The bombs would come screaming down and when you didn’t hear them, you waited for the explosion,” she recalled.

With her lovely British lilt, the 85-year-old grandmother and great-grandmother talked about her memories of World War II in her cozy White Bear Lake apartment. The day was May 8, coincidentally the day victory was declared in Europe, or VE Day, in 1945.

So how did she end up in Minnesota? Love. Kochlin married an American GI she met in Sale when her neighbor asked her to double date. “I remember my mum saying, ‘I hope you’re not going to America,’ before I even left the house,” she laughed.

Marry him she did in 1954. Don Kochlin was from St. Paul. A career airman, he brought his bride to the States in ‘55, moving his growing family to Air Force bases like Minot, N.D., the Pentagon and even returning to England for a duty station. They had three children, one of whom, William, lives in White Bear Lake. He persuaded his mother to move to White Bear 11 years ago from South St. Paul.

Don died in 2000.

During the war, Kochlin’s father, Jim Royle, a furrier, was called to duty as a town warden. “He had a lazy eye, so he wasn’t drafted,” she said. “His job was to stand on the roof of buildings watching for fi res.”

At night, the streets were pitch black. Curtains, lined with blackout material, were drawn tightly closed. Wardens knocked on your door if a crack of light showed through. Windows were crisscrossed with tape in case the glass exploded.

Everyone was required to carry “tin hats” and gas masks. Her 9-year-old sister had a Mickey Mouse gas mask. Fortunately, they never had to use them.

Food was rationed, but a resourceful mother never let them go hungry, Kochlin said. There were separate shops for everything in those days. The fishmonger had seafood; there was a bakery for bread and a greengrocer for vegetables. “I’ll never forget my mom, pregnant with my younger brother, jumping on her bike to stand in line when she heard there were bananas. We were rationed for everything.”

The diffi culties facing families during the war is also something Kochlin won’t forget.

She remembers too, a truck pulling up to their iron gate and taking it. They took all the metal gates in town for a nearby ammunition plant.

Candy was rationed and chocolate was very rare.

“When the Americans arrived, a favorite saying when we saw a GI walking down the road was ‘got

Alma Kochlin holds a picture of her father and siblings taken shortly after World War II. Family photos from the war are few. “There was no one to print them,” she said.

any gum, chum?’” she said. “They would reach in their pockets and throw the gum. We would scramble to get it.”

Kochlin said she didn’t realize at the time the things women went without. There were no stockings or makeup. Her mother, Elsie, never went anywhere without her hat and gloves, even on a bike, and women always wore skirts. To cover their bare legs, her mother and aunt would brush on a brown gravy and draw a black line up the back to look like a stocking seam.

Children would get their feet measured at school to get coupons for shoes. A brick bomb shelter was

built along the road to school in case they heard planes. Air raid sirens never went off when school was in session.

Germany surrendered May 8, 1945, ending the war in Europe. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill learned of the surrender on May 7, but made no official announcement until later that evening. An official announcement declared Tuesday, May 8 as Victory in Europe Day. “It doesn’t seem that long ago,” Kochlin said, adding, “after having a family myself, I realized what my parents went through. We lived day to day, but I don’t remember hunger.”

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER LOWDOWN EDITOR

In World War I, soldiers engaged in brutal trench warfare even in the most beautiful places — including Flanders, Belgium. The violence at that site inspired one of the most famous wartime poems in history: “In Flanders Fields,” by Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.

After he signed up with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, he eventually found himself in the Second Battle of Ypres in the Flanders region of Belgium. German soldiers bombarded the troops with chlorine gas, and McCrae lost a close friend whom he later had to bury.

He noticed how quickly the poppies grew around the graves of fallen soldiers in that region and penned his poem soon afterward.

The poppy has now become a worldwide symbol of remembrance, and the U.S. celebrates National Poppy Day on May 25. The American Legion adopted the poppy as its official fl ower to memorialize soldiers who fought and died during the war in 1920.

Each year, the American Legion Auxiliary distributes poppies to community members, and asks that the receiver make a donation to support the future of veterans, active duty personnel and their families.

“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 fi elds.

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 fi elds.
