ONGOING EVENTS
If so, please explain what the upgrades were and why they were necessary.
• We will create and sustain a safe, equitable and nurturing environment.
• We will establish healthy and vital engagement with our entire community. Information about opportunities to participate on Action Teams will be made available as the school year begins. Community members will see a capital projects levy renewal question on the November 8 ballot.
Q. How is the district doing in terms of hiring teachers? Are you experiencing a shortage? Please explain the shortage (if there is one) and how the district plans to overcome that. A. Schools have been impacted by the labor shortage and in order to start the school year with the staff we need, our administrators have worked tirelessly this summer to interview and hire the best candidates for our schools. We continue to receive strong applicants to join the team at Mahtomedi Public Schools and are seeking more paraprofessionals to join us for the 2022-23 school year. Interested candidates for open positions in our school district, can visit our website at www. applitrack.com/mahtomedi/onlineapp

Q. How is the district doing in terms of hiring teachers? Are you experiencing a shortage? Please explain the shortage (if there is one) and how the district plans to overcome that. A. We have had strong interest in open teaching positions, even in some subjects and areas that have generally been difficult to fill. Roles we are most urgently looking to fill include: bus drivers, Extended Day out-of-school time staff members, paraeducators, Nutrition Services staff members, and substitute teachers. As we try to overcome our staffing shortages, we offer: competitive wages, flexible work hours, opportunity for full benefits, and an opportunity for area residents to work near home while making a difference for kids in their community.
A. We do not plan to have universal masking for the 2022-23 school year. Layered mitigation measures will include the increased ventilation procedures that have been put in place during the last two years. We will determine any additional COVID-19 protocols after receiving updated guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health, which is expected to be released before the 2022-23 school year begins.

Q. What types of COVID-19 protocols (if any) will the district have in place at the start of this school year?
A. We can be very proud of our recent family and community survey data about our school district. Our families have given us excellent ratings and feel informed about their child’s school and the district. We have the opportunity this school year, post-COVID-19, to go deeper with our communications work and start building more family and community engagement opportunities in our school district. Starting this fall, we will organize opportunities for conversations with Mahtomedi School Board members, the district leadership team, staff, students, and community members to participate in reciprocal learning and meaningful engagement about our school district. Everyone is welcome to join us. Our first community conversation series will take place in September on September 15 at 10 a.m. and on September 29 at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall. We will be talking about academic excellence, personal success, and student agency at Mahtomedi Public Schools.
BACK TO SCHOOL: North Metro Districts answer questions for families
Q. Has the district made any recent changes to security? If so, please explain what the upgrades were and why they were necessary. A. Our safety and security measures continue to improve, including secured entrances, security cameras, and emergency response protocols. From a structural standpoint, as building construction has continued, safety and security measures have been included in projects, including enhanced security camera systems. Continued Capital Projects Levy funding will also allow us to address equipment needs as best practices in safety and security standards evolve. Additionally, understanding that strong relationships are essential to creating a safe environment, we provide students with services in the areas of mental health and wellness while strengthening our partnerships with first responders and other community and county resources.
k12.mn.us/schoolyearplan. One important health and safety upgrade we have made is to install BiPolar Ionization Air Purification Systems in all our buildings to improve air quality. The BiPolar Ionization units help filter particles like dust, dander, smoke, viruses, and bacteria out of the air in our school buildings. These systems provide a healthier air environment for our students and staff and also help with allergens and asthma. The new Ionization also complements our existing indoor air quality practices (antimicrobial filters in the HVAC systems and frequent air exchange intervals).
A. In the spring of 2022, the Mahtomedi School Board approved a facilities improvement project for O.H. Anderson (OHA) Elementary School and the construction work took place during the summer of 2022. The project includes updating the building’s mechanical equipment and systems with new boiler-heating systems, electrical services and additional outlets, air conditioning, adjustable airflow and temperature controls, and LED lighting with dimming controls. This project will provide better heating, cooling, temperature control, and air quality at OHA. This will be a significant improvement for the teaching and learning environment for our students and staff when we start the 2022-23 school year. In addition to the OHA project, our facilities department has been deep cleaning our schools, cleaning carpets, refinishing floors, touching up paint, and assembling and setting up new student desks and work areas. Mahtomedi Community Education has also been working hard this summer to make updates to our campus; they have partnered with the district and athletic associations to paint and refinish gym floors, provide new benches, and complete field renovations and improvements.
A. In addition to the continued building construction projects described above, two important initiatives taking shape this year are the Strategic Planning Process and the Capital Projects Levy. At the Aug. 8 meeting, the White Bear Lake Area School Board approved four updated Strategic Plan Strategies:
• We will promote, encourage and support students’ personal learning experiences and aspirations.
• We will ensure our organization continuously transforms to fulfill our mission.
Q.MahtomediWhatphysicalchanges will students and parents notice about school buildings when they return this year? Please highlight some of the construction projects that took place over the summer months or are ongoing.

Starting in 2022-23, we will use driver’s license readers in all of our schools for guests visiting classrooms during the school day. This school year we also have installed new security cameras at O.H. Anderson Elementary School and a new security system at Mahtomedi Middle School.
A. Our health and safety protocols are available on our school year plan website at www.mahtomedi.

When Twinkie was about 8 months old, she was diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (or PDA) — a heart defect where too much blood flows to one side of the heart. PDA causes their heart to grow larger and larger, often very quickly, which ultimately causes a heart attack and death. We were told if we didn’t do the sur gery, Twinkie would live maybe a year. It was such devastating news, but she still had so much life left to live so we made the decision to go through with the surgery and pray for a miracle. Waiting for the surgery, the surgery it self and the recovery was not a fun time. But we are so beyond thankful that the talented doggy cardiologists took such great care of her so she can still be here with us today. Twinkie is such a lover and spreads joy ev erywhere she goes. The world is a much better place with her here.

Hometown newspapers stand up to big tech
Fortunately, several bipartisan solutions gaining momentum in Congress are designed to reign in the excesses of Big Tech. The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) is among the most promising piec es of Thelegislation.JCPAisdesigned to ad dress Big Tech’s unprecedented assault on the free press and free speech by allowing small, local and independent news publish ers to band together to negoti ate better terms with Big Tech (notably Google and Facebook) for using their content. Most importantly, the JCPA prohibits viewpoint discrimi nation, meaning the Big Tech platforms cannot exclude pub lications with conservative editorial pages. Due to antitrust laws, news publishers are forced to cut deals with Facebook and Google oneon-one. The bill removes legal obstacles to news organizations’ ability to negotiate collectively and secure fair terms from gate keeper platforms that regularly access news content without paying for its value. Hundreds of small, local and independent news publishers from across the political spec trum support the JCPA. Recent polling by the News/Media Alliance found that 70 percent of Americans believe it is import ant for Congress to pass the JCPA and more than two-thirds (67%) of Republican respondents agree that elected officials who oppose the JCPA are allowing Big Tech to have all the negoti ating power instead of arming local media with the tools to fightTheback.JCPA is a crucial first step to standing up to Big Tech’s an ti-competitive practices, and it is a bill that both Republicans and Democrats can get behind. Small and local publishers work hard to report the news and cover their communities, yet Big Tech gets to profit from their work. This is fundamentally unfair, and the JCPA will bring about a much-needed change. Contact your member of Con gress to support the JCPA and ensure Big Tech doesn’t cancel local news.

scraps. Big Tech does everything it can to ensure that its users never leave their platform for other sites – depriving small and local publishers of their chance to monetize their content. As a result, small, local and independent publishers are shuttering their doors, and the companies that don’t align with the ideologies of Silicon Valley’s elite that make up these tech giants are punished and cen sored. Recent reporting shows that local newspapers in the U.S. are dying off at a rate of two per week, as 360 newspapers have shuttered since the end of 2019. Big Tech’s suffocation of local news is important because Americans trust their local news – 73% of U.S. adults surveyed by the Poynter Media Trust Survey said they have confidence in their local newspaper, compared to 55% for national network news stations. Moreover, local news helps bind our commu nities by reporting on events closest to us, our friends and our families. It can present diverse ideas and opinions often unex amined by mainstream corpo rateDatamedia.from the News/Media Alliance shows that Big Tech’s ad tech tax takes 50-70% of every ad dollar from news publishers while hiring zero reporters. Local papers could hire more re porters if Big Tech paid them for the quality journalism that fuels their platforms and profits.
My husband recently attended his class reunion, which is where we are guessing he picked it up. As soon as he tested positive, we did our best to not come in contact with each other, he wore a mask in the house and even slept in the guest bedroom. For about a week after he tested positive, I felt fine and was hopeful I would get lucky and not get it. Before I knew it, I felt a pain in my throat that I have never felt, so I knew it was coming. It felt like my throat was both on fire and closing and just kept getting worse. Then the other symptoms started to pile on: congestion, fatigue, chills/sweats and ultimately the loss of taste and smell. I tested negative three times, before I finally tested positive. While I was sick, countless people reached out to me daily to make sure I was hanging in there. Many of my neighbors were more than kind and dropped off homemade soup, bread, pudding and frozen treats. That kind of kindness sure brought a smile to my face when I didn’t feel like smiling.Mypregnancy had me even more scared of the virus and its impacts. Adding to my fears, the week I was in isolation I was scheduled to have an ultrasound, so when I had to cancel that, I found myself fearing the worst. I’m praying that this bout with COVID-19 will not have any lasting effects on me or our baby. Hopefully this means that we will have some antibodies to protect us for a while so we don’t have to deal with this virus again anytime soon. Going forward, I’m told the doctors will have to monitor everything much more closely, just to make sure baby and I are both healthy. Every day now I’m feeling just a little bit less tired, I can breathe a bit better and taste a little bit more. Hopefully by the time you are reading this column, I will be able to taste my coffee again and smell soap when I wash my hands.

The Church of St. Peter in North St. Paul is hosting the International Exhibit of Eucharistic Miracles of the World, designed and created by Carlo Acutis the Servant of God. Acutis, an English-born Italian teenager described by his friends as a “computer geek” due to his passion and computer skills, began at age 11 creating a web site documenting Eucharistic miracles from around the world. Noted for his cheerfulness and devotion to the Eucharist, Acutis worked on the project until his death from leukemia at age 15. He was beatified by the Catholic Church on Oct. 10, 2020. A photographic exhibit of his work travels the world and will be on display at the Church of St. Peter from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, 5-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18.
Looking for School bus Drivers to work in White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — City Council will likely consider a pur chase agreement for the Armory at its Sept. 13 meeting. At an earlier work session, city leaders heard a staff report regard ing a timeline for the potential transfer of the Armory building to the White Bear Lake Area His torical Society. Minutes from the special meeting indicate council consensus was that permanent use of the Armory by the historical society was “good for the commu nity.”The next step is for the Plan ning Commission to review the proposal in regards to the city’s Comprehensive Plan and consid er rezoning the site. A purchase agreement would include a right of first refusal for the city.
• Schedule of a public hearing Sept. 27 on proposed special assessments for 2022 pavement rehabilitation project. Improve ments to roadways (mostly north of Hwy. 96 and west of Bald Eagle Avenue) this summer will cost the city about $2.2 million. The cost to be assessed against benefitting property owners is $808,900.
• A presentation on Part 2 of the wellhead protection plan, which was approved as required by the state Department of Health. SEH geologist Mark Sherrill went over contingency and implementation strategies to protect the city’s mu nicipal wells from contamination, showing areas of high, medium and low vulnerability.
The City Council’s Aug. 23 agen da also included the following: • A second-quarter report on the Sports Center. The facility had a busy spring with numerous hockey camps, annual skate show and regional youth hockey tournament, but revenues are down so far this year compared to 2021, according to City Manager Lindy Crawford.

No matter how unpopular the opinion was at the time, Elliott Engen, running in the district for state representative, spoke out against crime and movements to abolish the police. During the height of Minnesota’s record crime wave, I heard those who opposed him call him a variety of names for his position. He stood his ground and supported public safety professionals across the state. Elliott is endorsed by the Minnesota Police Officer’s Union and recognizes that when a community works together, it can build — not burn.

The drop can be attributed to significant revenue coming in during 2021, Crawford told coun cil. “Everything was pushed back with COVID.” There was an “uncharacteristic” purchase of ice time totaling $24,000 by the hockey association in order to finish a delayed COVID-19 2020-2021 season and a private hockey camp paying earlier in the year.
On a positive note, usage in 2022 is consistent and slightly up com pared to pre-COVID numbers.

1-size-fits-all I’m a recently retired educator with a lifetime of great memories with my students and the White Bear Lake school community. I also remember with less fondness the 12-16 hour days spent planning, preparing, assessing and more, because in education, one size doesn’t fit all. I worked as long as necessary to complete my job on time. Can Sen. Roger Chamberlain say the same? As chair of the Education Committee, Roger let our students down once again by not getting his job done. He focused on a single literacy program designed to help only our youngest students. What about the older students who are already readers? What about the middle and high school students who struggle with mental illness or repeated exposure to trauma? What about the 4.0 GPA, all-star athlete contemplating suicide?Educators have always known that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for our students. Roger dodged the chance for real success by ignoring the school experts. He stuck to a $30 million literacy bill even though Minnesota came out of the pandemic with a $9 billion budget surplus! It’s time to elect someone who is used to getting the job done. As an educator, Heather Gustafson will honor her commitment to do what’s right for all students and our communities. That’s why I ask you to join me in dodging Roger on Nov. 8. Vote for Heather Gustafson, Minnesota State Senate. Karla Keller White Bear Lake PAID CandidateLETTERstands his ground The past few years have had us on a rollercoaster of how to feel about public safety. When the nation watched tragedy unfold in a nine-minute video, emotions took over. The majority of us agreed that changes needed to be made, and the most impassioned were lost in anger. Individuals, businesses, and community leaders scrambled to make public statements. Community representatives were chastised no matter what they did or said, and we were eventually asked to question the existence of policing and pick a side: defund or defend. This was a defining moment for our state. Citizens were outraged, ultimatums were made and people were painted into a corner. But public leaders needed to be stronger than us. They were elected to legislate, correct problems and create solutions, not pander to coercion that stands on “all or none” logic.
It was only a year ago that a stunning majority of DFL leadership voiced support as Minneapolis held a vote to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Next, decisions were made to decrease sentencing guidelines for repeat, violent criminals, including those in illegal possession of a firearm. And now, with an election on the horizon, these same leaders are discussing their concerns for public safety by introducing the "100 Million Dollar Public Safety Package" which, interestingly, funnels a majority of its funds to community nonprofits and violence interrupters. The aftermath of statements made by community leaders about policing continues to hurt our communities and consequences are hard to find.

After 22 years of serving patients, many of them from White Bear Lake, Pillars Hospice in Oakdale is being closed by Fairview Health effective Sept. 9. Pillars Hospice is an eight-bed facility serving the terminally ill, not to be confused with Pillars of White Bear Lake. I was a volunteer there for the past year and a half and I am sad to see it close. Pillars Hospice was loved by all, including staff, volunteers, patients and family. It would be nice to see another health organization take it over.

It all comes down to how healthy we are at the end of the season.”

Crew members will even try to grow tomatoes aboard the space station, which the astronauts will get to eat and bring back to Earth for further experi ments.“The space station exists as a national laboratory, but it’s the only place where we can get good at long-duration space flight,” Cassada said. Cassada’s excitement for experiments and space flight has been years in the making.Heearned his Bachelor of Arts in physics at Albion College and his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester. After ward, Cassada served as a Navy test pilot, flying T-38s, the same aircrafts NASA has been using since the Apollo days. It was in 2013 that Cassada and a class of potential astronauts began the astronaut candidate program that prepared them for space flight. Though Cassada has undergone years of training with NASA, undertaking space travel essentials like learning Russian and figuring out how to live in Zero-G, he credits one very special math teacher from White Bear Lake, Miss Otis.Cassada was in sixth grade, and it was time for him to take the test to deter mine if he would be in accelerated math in seventh grade. “I think I just hated the whole stan dardized test thing and I did okay, but I wasn’t put in accelerated math. But there was a seventh grade teacher, Miss Otis, who said, ‘You know what, I know you, you should take this again,’” Cassa daThatsaid.summer before seventh grade, Cassada studied for his test. Thanks to a second chance from a teacher, he passed and was placed in accelerated math. “And because of that, I got into cal culus as a senior, which allowed me in college to do physics and start with calc II. And the language of physics is math, so with that, I was able to do grad school inCassadaphysics.”admits that physics was actually his second choice when it came to his dream career. He wanted to be a major league baseball player, but when his fastball didn’t quite break 80 miles an hour, he decided that maybe his goal of being an astronaut wasn’t so bad. “I was really lucky in the things I did, I loved doing it. What a great consolation prize,” Cassada said. “I use the analogy of the lottery. To play the lottery you have to buy the ticket, but you have to have a different retirement plan. And that’s how I viewed this job. I wanted to apply for NASA to see if it was a good fit, but if it wasn’t, what a great consolation prize. I love what I’m doing.” In the weeks leading up to his first trip to space, Cassada is reflecting on what it means to be where he is today. “At the end of the day, (it’s about) being able to come back and being able to know you have the sense of accomplish ment that we’ve been able to contribute in some small way to what’s happening in the next generation of human space flight,” he said. As a way to pay homage to his early days in White Bear Lake and to thank Miss Otis for encouraging him, Cassada has invited her to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to see the launch this October and see how far her student has come.

Hindsight, it is said, is 20/20. Looking at the tremendous growth over the last 5 years in both the Dow and S&P 500, ~50% and 70+% respectively, it can be a challenge to see what’s next. Of course, with hindsight, we can see where we are. Throw in multiple factors coming to head, it appears something must give. When? If you know, please share. As an efficiency expert, we help clients, couples, families, and business owners mitigate and navigate the numerous risks faced to and through our working and after career days. Market risk and Longevity risk being two of the major ones. We help you remove these two risks from the picture. If you are concerned about lifetime income or the potential for a significant correction in the markets and its impact on your after-career years, or both, then we can help with these concerns.

Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com We are certainly making up for our shortage of rainfall from June and July. This past weekend’s 2 inches of rainfall pushed my August total over 5 inches, more than double of what I totaled in the months of June and July. Areas just north and east of us received torrential rains and heavy totals, 3-4 inches on Saturday morning. Saturday evening’s thunderstorm grew strong enough for warnings and I saw some downed healthy trees in the area. Power crews were out Sunday restoring power. Sunday was dry much of the day but late night storms into early Monday morning brought us an additional inch of rain. This forecast period calls for us to dry out with plenty of sun. Looks like great weather for the State Fair.

“And for some reason, the Illinois River stands out,” he added. “After Chicago, I was by myself and met a lot of locals in bars and other interesting people going down the river. The river itself was easy, including the locks, and had some great history.”
“So it wasn’t my fault,” he maintained. Asked for trip highlights, Klein said his favorite part was the intercoastal waterway from Florida to Georgia. He particularly liked St. Augustine, Cape Canaveral, Savanna, Beauford National Park and Charleston. There was some consternation crossing a large alligator-infested lake and watching century-old locks along the Erie Canal crumbling over their heads. Weather was a challenge at times but they didn’t take unnecessary risks.

Around the Great Loop in 240 days
Like the little engine that could, a compact cruiser with a 50 hp outboard carried a Bald Eagle sailor 6,000 miles around America’s Great Loop, an endeav or completed by fewer than 400 boats a year. The sailor, Dave Klein, crossed his wake July 9 near Mackinaw Island, Michigan, signifying completion of the loop after spending a total of 240 days in his 24-foot boat. To complete the loop, boaters circumnavigate the eastern part of the United States and Canada, cruis ing up the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, through the New York State canals, into the Great Lakes, down the inland river system, across the Gulf of Mexi co and around the southern tip of Florida. Klein did the trip in segments and somewhat back ward over a four-year period, but he finished nonethe less. The Great Loop carried him through cities like St. Louis, Pensacola, Key Largo, Ft. Myers, Charles ton, Annapolis, New York City, Albany, Trent, Ontar io and Chicago, and through many lock walls along inland rivers. There were 23 locks on the Mississippi River alone that required good timing and astute communication with lockmasters. An accomplished E-scow sailor, the motorized tuglike Nimble was something new for Klein, retired from Control Data. Suitable for two people, the model is considered one of the best boats to do the Loop. But quarters are tight. “Being on the boat was like being in a space capsule; it is so small,” Klein observed. There is no outdoor seating and storage space is limited. In fact, Klein erected a wooden box on the cockpit roof to store two foldup bikes and a cart to haul groceries and supplies. It has a refrigerator, a tiny head, a sink, two berths and a heater, which came in handy on chilly nights. The boat was purchased from another Bald Eagle Lake sailor, Bob Neuenfeldt, who sold the Nimble to Klein after completing the Great Loop himself. The two took an inaugural voyage up the Atlantic coast so Klein could get his feet wet driving the boat. “It was like driving a freeway with no cars to pass, beautiful scenery, some eating out, always enough beer or wine and some navigation to time a harbor stop at night,” recalled Klein. “It cost little, as the boat gets 10 miles to the gallon or $12 per day.” There are myriad logistics to a 6,000-mile trip, like ferrying truck and trailer to places for pickup, rotating crew members, bicycle and Uber rides to buy groceries and, more importantly, to fill the gas can. Navigation was done with paper charts, a GPS and iPad software and an old-fashioned compass. Wife Jodey (a White Bear grad) and Dave’s daughter Laura crewed several segments, as did other sailors and friends who stayed on the boat in two-to-three-week shifts.There were also unforeseen expenses. A costly out board repair was needed in upstate New York, which meant a 10-day wait. Dave and Jodey made the best of it by buying a tent at Walmart and camping in the Adirondacks.Mishapsalong the circuitous route were fortunately few. A week into the trip, Dave and Jodey crashed into a wall at a marina along the Mississippi River. Floodwaters were 17 feet high and moving fast. “We managed to back the boat off, but my first thought was ‘the trip is done,’” Klein said. Then there was the time in Florida when Klein left the Nimble at a marina in Naples Bay and returned to Minnesota for Christmas. He got a call from Jason Brown at White Bear Boat Works. His boat was found adrift. An observant homeowner happened to see the small WBL letters painted on the rooftop box. By lucky chance, his neighbor was from White Bear Lake, so he offered to moor the Nimble at his dock until Klein got there. Klein learned later that his boat was hit by a sail boat that had dragged its anchor and sheared his line.
When we caught up to Klein last week, he was hauling the Nimble to Seattle to sell her. But first he’ll cruise the San Juan islands and Puget Sound for three weeks with Jodey and daugh ter Lia, who lives in the area. Parting with the Nimble will be bittersweet. “The boat doesn’t fit into my small, inland lake lifestyle,” he explained of the decision. The new owners want to do the loop, too. Looking back on his great adventure, Klein gives his crew members credit for making the trip so memorable. “It was a unique and cool part of the trip to have people come and go,” he said. “I look back on it and wouldn’t change it much. We got to see a lot of space in a short amount of time. It will always put a smile on my face.”

“I thought that was cheap,” Klein noted.Inhis final journal entry, its captain gushed about the little boat. “The boat itself is perfect: fast enough, the same navigational tools as a big boat, little bangs are no big deal, small enough to significantly reduce gas, marina costs and maintenance expenses, cute enough that it makes you proud to be the owner, and it gets lots of compli ments. What more could you ask of it?”

Then we had a short 15-minute ride over to “Disneyworld” for the Jungle Cruise through the mangrove channel. The manatees are eating the algae off the side of my boat. It was at night and they were making noise and rocking the boat a little.”

Etten said some of the youths have been dis placed by the war with Russia and some live in areas under attack. “It was a big journey for them to get here,” she said. “They have endured a lot already. This is a reprieve from war.” The program, Etten explained, was created to prepare young people for future leadership roles when their country starts to rebuild. “All these young leaders have high hopes and confidence in winning the war and are ready to assume responsibilities, when the time comes, to lead their commu nities and organizations towards a free, connected and prosperous Ukraine,” she said. A 17-year-old named Dasha said she and her parents left their home in Donetsk City seven years ago because of war. During that time, they lived in six different cities and she attended seven different schools. She aspires to be a journal ist and said she is “excited to be in Minnesota to improve her social mediaRotarianskills.”Greg Bartz showed the group the newly installed pole, not ing it’s “appropriate to have a photo taken with our Ukrainian friends at the peace pole. Most important is the message: May Peace Prevail on Earth,” he said. Seven languages spell out that message on the pole,among them Dakota, English, Hmong, Russian, Spanish and Korean. Bartz pointed to the message in Russian, apolo gizing for not having the message in Ukrainian, but explaining that White Bear Rotary has many con nections to Russia. “I know that’s a big problem today,” he told them. He also reminded the youth that the pole “signifies, in spirit, that we should be thinking about peace on earth.”
