In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week.

When Hammar was 17 years old, she remembers hearing Adolf Hitler on the radio. “I didn’t understand him, but his voice was so severe sounding,” she said.

Chapin will compete against about 36 skiers ages 65-69. His event is the slalom after competing in all three in the past — the others being trick and jump skiing.

Although there is prize money at many events, some successful skiers earn dollars from endorsements. Chapin isn’t in it for the money.“It’s not a big-money sport,” Chapin said. “I like the training aspect, the camaraderie and for me it’s six months on the water up here (in Minnesota).”Theslalom, depending on the age of contestants, ranges in speeds of 18 to 36 miles per hour.

These elected officials can make change happen—or not.Every single vote matters in local elections. Candi dates have changed entire towns, cities or counties because they won by 10 or fewer votes. Margins are much closer on the local level than at the national level.

It’s a perfect time for persons to update their vot er registration who are among the nearly 4 million citizens who turned 18 this year, or who have recently moved, had a name change or have not voted in the last four years.

The group and their families were in the United Kingdom when it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II had died.

The general election on Nov.8 will see federal, state, county and local officials on the ballot. Many people feel that their vote just doesn’t matter, especially for national offices.

In the intervening years progress has been made, most notably by Tesla entre preneur Elon Musk. Demonstrating that speed and performance wouldn’t be an issue, the high-end Tesla Roadster was introduced in 2008. It gained attention for its quick acceleration — rivaling the performance of some of the most exotic cars available at the time. Other elec tric vehicles don’t get nearly as much attention as the Tesla, but the (more humble) Nissan LEAF was listed as the world’s all-time top selling plug-in electric car through December 2019, before being surpassed by the Tesla Model 3 in early 2020 and sales of General Motor’s Chevy Bolt EV began in California in December 2016.

Top Safety Tips for Stu dents

For Pedestrians

think my fascination with the practical applica tions of electric vehicles started when I first spotted Tom Birkeland’s vintage Volkswagen Beetle out side the Mahtomedi District Center during a RITE of Spring event back in 2008. I was intrigued by a badge on the door of the vehicle indicating that it was fully electric. Impressed with the imagination and creativity involved in transforming the iconic internal combus tion vehicle into 100% electric, I contacted Tom and he offered to give me a tour and also a (bonus) ride. At the time he was using the restored vehicle to commute in and around White Bear Lake, with occasional forays into the Twin Cities — that pushed the limits of its range. The test drive showed the vehicle to be quiet and quick off the mark. I remember think ing at the time, if someone can build a capable commuter car in their garage on a budget, why couldn’t the major automakers come up with something?

I’m realistic enough to understand that electric ve hicles are not a cure all, but they certainly can be part of a cleaner and more sustainable future, especially when you begin to factor in the evolution and growth of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The bonus is that once you get behind the wheel of one of these vehicles, you discover that, along with the quiet efficiency, the overall driving experience is really quite impressive. It feels like the future.

For Bicyclists

Sorting through the comments on a number of online stories, reviews and commentaries about electric vehi cles, I’ve observed a trend. The overwhelming number of negative comments seem to come from people who don’t appear to have done much research, let alone take a test drive; while the overwhelming number of positive comments come from people who are actually using the vehicles on a daily basis.

My personal experience with a Nissan LEAF over the past year has been mostly positive, with a couple of exceptions. The immediate torque produced by the electric motor provides a quiet, quick and responsive driving experience and the battery range for the vast majority of day-to-day commuting and other activities is more than adequate. Charging the vehicle at home has been quite manageable. The increase in the electric bill is still significantly less than the cost of gasoline and the charges can be timed to take place at off-peak hours (after midnight) to further minimize the cost and also the demand on the power grid. I can’t say that I miss the experience of going to the gas station, espe cially during recent spikes in fuel prices. While Tesla has created a robust charging network, the availability of charging stations for the drivers of other electric ve hicles is spotty, so road trips must be planned carefully. I encountered the intersection of two of the primary weaknesses of EV’s (cold weather and range anxiety) during a trip up to Duluth last winter to visit family. A surprise encounter with freezing rain began to coat the windows of the vehicle. The need to turn up the heat caused a significant drop in the predicted battery range, adding white knuckle drama to what would nor mally be a relatively routine trip.

From the state assessment data, we can see that stu dents in our upper grades in the secondary schools, many of whom experienced significantly more disrupted learning during the pandemic, will need increased intervention in both reading and math.

Ask for accountability.

Our science teachers have been making shifts in their instruction to better align with the content and instructional changes outlined in the 2019 science standards, despite the MCA Science test remaining aligned to 2009 standards. The Science MCA test will not align with updated standards and practices until the 2024-2025 school year, which presents challenges for our science educators who are committed to teach ing the most relevant and current content for today’s students.OurMHS participation rate in math in 2019 was 92.2%, but in 2022 it fell to 76.1%. With such a signif icant participation drop (i.e., students opting out of taking the tests), accurate comparisons to prior years' results are difficult. In the future, we will enhance communication to students and families about the importance of participating in the assessments — both in how they serve to inform district curriculum and instructional practices and how taking the test can provide students with post-secondary readiness information.Formoreinformation, visit www.mahtomedi.k12. mn.usand click on Academics/Teaching and Learn ing.

Rep. Becker-Finn’s care to make names of armed government workers anonymous belies her legisla tion to make more police data public. Apparently, she cares if hunters quit culling but not when officers quit protecting? Especially concerning, the council tried to block this public information and Metro Bowhunters (who “aren’t trophy hunters”) tried to classify their services as “recreational.” They’ve said they “follow all game laws.” Eight months later, they still have not provided nonprofit public disclosures— an IRS inspection requirement.

Recently the Minnesota Department of Education released state accountability measures including 2022 MCA data. The purpose of MCA tests is to measure the health of a system - specifically, how well our in struction is aligned to Minnesota’s rigorous academic standards. In Mahtomedi, we use MCAs to help us un derstand how well we have aligned our daily lessons to these state standards and how well we align our resources to help us to deliver instruction in reading, math, and science.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022 WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS 5A www.presspubs.com

I just joined the White Bear Lake Pickleball Group this year. With the recent announcement of the Ar mory being occupied by the White Bear Lake Histor ical Society, I am wondering if there is a proposal for any inside morning pickleball locations. Pickleball is the “up and coming” new sport and it’s catching on very quickly with lots of interest amongst folks. It would be great if White Bear Lake has some sort of idea for this soon. Yes, I could join the Y or Lifetime fitness to use their courts inside in the morning, but I think White Bear Lake should start thinking about this. I understand that Sunrise will eventually become the new Senior Center and additional groups will be occupy that building, but I would like to see a designated inside location for pickleball courts for all to use, especially in the morning for the senior popu lation. Any thoughts on this going forward would be very much appreciated to make White Bear Lake an even better community to reside in. The schools that will soon be in session are not an option for inside morning pickleball. Thank you for your attention to this idea as I think it would beneficial for all of the residents.

Our 2022 MCA scores reflect both the disruption to learning caused by the pandemic and the tremendous amount of academic support our staff has provided our students. This year we saw our district MCA proficiency rates improve in both reading and math, O.H. Anderson Elementary School student proficien cy scores increased in both math and reading and are approaching or exceeding pre-pandemic levels, and our Mahtomedi Middle School sixth-grade profi ciency scores in math and reading are approaching pre-pandemic levels.

Response to letter

It's chilling when newspapers are used to cudgel and silence civic engagement and government ac countability.Irequested data to examine Mahtomedi’s deer man agement. The names of hunters became a specific focus when it became clear that Mahtomedi—against the terms of its contract—didn’t have forms, names, or certificates of liability insurance. Are you comfort able with the city not knowing the legal identities of contracted “sharpshooters?”

Stevens Point’s culling program provides complete transparency. What about Mahtomedi?

The continued bomb-throwing against our hard-working teachers and staff and continued cele bration of dated information is tiring. I choose to cel ebrate our growth and I remain equally committed to academic excellence and seeking out ways to support all students to achieve success.

It is noteworthy that Mahtomedi High School is ranked #7 of traditional high schools in Minnesota according to the 2022 U.S. News and World Report. However, it is also important to understand the difficulty of comparing one year’s ranking to the next by understanding that the methodology has changed over time, and in fact US News shared “The 2019 Best High Schools rankings are not comparable with Best High Schools rankings U.S. News has published in the past.” Additionally, as we discussed at the Board meeting, these rankings recognize AP courses as part of college readiness index but not the CIS and PSEO opportunities we provide students. I am proud that Mahtomedi recognizes many paths to post-sec ondary success.

A recent letter by Barb Black disparaged our district’s pursuit of excellence. We are proud of the work of our teachers and staff as they support our students to emerge strong from the pandemic. We are also proud of the ways our staff and administrators have moved our strategic plan forward. In addition to providing academic excellence, they support our students to pursue their academic passions and inter ests, provide exceptional learning opportunities, and foster an inclusive learning community.

So far none of their Light Rail, North Star rail, or Bus Rapid Transit systems have met their original ridership projections. Even when they are asked if their new transit proj ects will ever pay for themselves based on projected ridership, the answer is “no.” The construction cost estimates for these transit projects always end up double or triple the original estimates.

We have seen reading and math scores declining over many years. Because of Covid, we became more aware of our failure in educating our children. There is more emphasis put on the amount of dollars spent or not spent in education but maybe we should be looking at other efforts as well. I had the opportunity this past spring to volunteer at a local elementary school and saw first hand the struggles of children learning to master reading skills. The program used at this school was the LETRS program which uses a phonics structure. Working with 5 year olds and third/fourth graders, I saw the struggle some older students had when they were reading. I was surprised at how well the 5 year olds adapted to the phonics method. Not all parents and teachers will agree with this way of teaching but it is one more tool.

Program helps students read

At a time when we should be supporting the work of our educators and staff to help our students emerge strong from the pandemic, it was disheartening to read Ms. Black’s attacks on our school district. Our school district, alongside others across the nation, are emerging from the pandemic, however, I’d note that Mahtomedi Public Schools’ 2022 MCA scores are among the top 10 districts in Minnesota and we saw improvement in both math and reading.

The Mahtomedi School Board is planning commu nity engagement sessions and at our Aug.11 Study Session meeting, we discussed the upcoming Sept. 15 agenda about excellence. My comments centered around the hope that we can balance the informative nature of MCA assessment scores with other pieces of data that inform our definition of excellence. A single piece of data such as rankings or MCA scores doesn’t wholly define or adequately represent the district and who we are. I expressed a desire to have upcoming conversations expand beyond rankings.

Mahtomedi School Board member

In April, the Press ignored documentation showing the City of Mahtomedi failed to enforce its contracts and ordinances, instead catering to various special interest groups while leaving much of the truth on the cutting room floor. Former editor Neutkens’ data practices story unfairly represented the situation. Lo retta Harding has written for years about deer eating flowers. Is this ethical, unbiased coverage?

Requests showed substantial problems with Mahto medi’s records management. In November, the city falsely stated liability waivers were previously pro vided. Other data was incomplete and inconsistent. The city didn’t research anything beyond hunting, which studies show is an ineffective long-term strat egy. There were no reports of CWD testing, proof of sharpshooting certification, venison donations to the needy, or natural ecological damage caused by deer— just complaints about nibbled landscaping. There was misinformation about deer and Lyme’s disease, and abysmal enforcement of deer feeders when Public Works Director Goebel said there were too many to count, some hundreds of pounds in size.

Published, detailed reports of these failures are on my website. Citizens should be wary that the Press prints the full truth.

Overall, Mahtomedi Public Schools’ 2022 MCA math and reading scores are among the top 10 independent school districts in the state. We remain committed to addressing the disruption to learning that the pandemic caused and ensuring excellence for all of our learners.

Attacks are disheartening

This is in response to Mr. Nash's letter in the Sept. 7 issue. Mr. Nash claims wind turbines generate less energy than is used to make them. This outdated argument can be attributed to a 2009 study by a Cana dian geoscientist who concluded a properly sited wind turbine would achieve energy payback in 3-6 years where a poorly placed one may never achieve energy payback. Of course, opponents only quote the last part of this conclusion. However, since 2009, the efficiency of wind turbines has improved 700%. Recent studies by independent labs show wind turbines produced today achieve energy payback in 6-9 months which is better than any other method of generating electrici ty.Mr. Nash correctly states that infrastructure is not presently in place to recycle EV batteries at great volume. That's because there is not a great volume of dead EV batteries. 80% of EVs ever sold in the US were produced in the last 5 years and are still on the road. Nissan has been making the Leaf for 12 years and says battery life is exceeding expectations and only a small fraction of the batteries have been replaced. When there is a need to recycle or repur pose old car batteries at large scale, the market will deliver.Theadvancements made in clean energy technol ogy in the past 12 years has been phenomenal. The wind turbines, solar panels and batteries going on the market today are 7-10 times more cost effective, less material intensive and more reliable than their 2010 predecessors. If you are looking for information on these technologies, make sure to check the source and the date.

It is important to note that we saw academic suc cesses and growth in a variety of areas in our district this past school year. For example in 2021-22, we saw third-grade students who receive academic interven tion increase from 32.14% reading grade level text in the fall of 2021 to 85.71% in the spring of 2022. In that same time frame, sixth-grade students who receive academic intervention grew from 7.1% fluently read ing grade-level text to 71.4%. At the high school in the spring of 2022, 353 students took 596 AP exams. Of those, 82% of students received a score of 3 or higher, which generally results in earned college credit. Stu dent participation in rigorous coursework shows us that our high school students are exhibiting academic excellence at a college level.

Valerie Dosland, lobbyist, gave the school board an update on the 2022 leg islative session. She spoke about the frustrating end to the legislative session which resulted in significant differences between the House and Senate on E12 funding bills, and legislature going home without passing most spending bills, a bonding bill, or a tax bill. Valerie also spoke of a few bills that did pass including the Student Data Privacy Act, a mental health funding package, a pensions policy bill and lastly, money over the next three years for broadband grants. She said there was talk of a special session so the legislature could finish their work but nothing came of that discussion.

“Listen to them with empathy, and avoid judgment. There is no timeline for grief, and it is helpful to avoid expectations that someone will feel better or stop talking about their loss after an arbitrary amount of time has passed,” says Sarah Vollmann, MPS, a board-certified art therapist and faculty member of the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition.

talking about your dad right now. If you want to talk about him we can, or we can totally talk about something else.” It’s best to let them take the lead.

“God has a plan.” or “They’re in a better place now.” There are varying meanings of death among different belief systems. Unless you’re certain that they share your faith in what happens after death, don’t force it on them as it will not be comforting.“Everything happens for a reason.” or “It was meant to be.” Avoid saying statements that try to justify the loss. Don’t suggest that a terrible and painful tragedy deserved to happen to them.

Escort – When someone acknowledges that they are feeling suicidal or hopeless, care enough to connect them to the nearest helping resource. Do not leave them alone! If possible, separate them from methods of harm.

Suicide is a problem that touches the lives of many Americans. Many of us may know someone, such as a friend, family member, or coworker who has attempted or died by suicide. Over the past two decades, suicide rates have steadily risen in the United States. Suicide is currently ranked 10th for cause of death among all ages.

Here’s what you should avoid saying to a grieving person:

“One of the most powerful things that we can offer to a bereaved friend or family member is to just be with them, while accepting their feelings and remaining present and empathic,” says Vollmann. Let them know that they can be vulnerable with you and your door is always open.

“You need to move on.” Grieving lasts a long, long time and there’s no getting over it. Their loss will continue to be meaningful to them over time, and telling them to move on or cheer up will only invalidate their grief. “It can sound like a judgement, as if they are mourning too much or too long, and make people feel unable to share about their grief,” says Vollmann.

Care – Show you care. The context of caring makes it a lot easier to ask the hard questions about suicide. By actively listening and engaging, without judgment, you are showing that you care – this might just be enough to help the person feel relief and that they are not alone.

There are times when a grieving person wants to talk about their loss and times that they don’t, so let them know that you’re open to talking about their loss while also letting them decide if and when they want to open up. According to Vollmann, you can say something along the lines of, “I don’t know if you feel like

It’s important for you to know that suicide is preventable. With commitment and engagement in our communities, workplaces, and homes, together we can help reduce the number of suicides. What are the warning signs that someone is at risk for suicide?

On a cold wintry Friday on January 20, 1961, in his inaugural address JFK said, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”

We need people in office that are willing to look at and research all avenues to ensure our power needs are filled. In the meantime, we need to go back to the producing and using fossil fuels. For the foreseeable future it cannot be either or, it must be both and.

indicated that he wants to follow in the steps of Gavin Newsom. Governor Walz wishes to install a system that would require the reduction of carbon dioxide on a decreasing trend over a given period of time to a negative level. Companies that do not comply would be fined in increasing increments. This would also cause a huge increase in the cost of oil and gas prod ucts to the consumer. If that were the case I for one would have to consider getting a horse and buggy to fulfill my transportation needs. I doubt that the city of White Bear Lake would allow me to have a horse on my property. I also think it has been made very clear by big corporations they are doing all they can to reduce their need for the use of fossil fuels on their properties. Newsom also has declared by 2035 no new internal combustion vehicles will be allowed in the state of California. Ironically two days later he said due to a power shortage people that currently own EVs will not be able to charge them due to a power shortage.Wehere in the state of Minnesota cannot afford this kind of folly. Our current government keeps insisting on green power. Wind and solar. These according to all the information I have been able to gather will nev er at least for a very long time produce enough power to fulfill our needs. Nuclear will. It’s clean, efficient and cost effective. Minnesota is trying to phase out the nuclear generators we have saying there is a prob lem properly disposing of the spent fuel rods. That is not really an issue. The country of France has been recycling them for a long time and is now working with Japan one other country to recycle theirs.

JFK Democrats, which there are fewer and fewer, need to decide if they believe in the new far-left di rection their party has taken, or if they should make a change and create a new branch of the Democratic Party -- or a new party -- that maintains the former principles that Democrats used to stand for (the socalled JFK Democrats).

For those of us who remember President John F. Kennedy (JFK), do you ever wonder what happened to the JFK-Democrats? From history we know JFK was assassinated November 22, 1963.

None of the three new proposed Purple line routes will ever be self-sustaining based on riders and expenses. The proposed Vadnais Heights route is to a final destination that makes no sense at all. At least the Maplewood Mall and Century College options make some sense as a final destination for riders. The Vadnais City Council should follow White Bear Lake's lead and Vote NO on supporting the Vadnais Heights option.

you can't subsidize your customers and lose mon ey forever. All these projects get Federal and State money when they are first built, but the taxpayer is left holding the bag to pay for their future operating and maintenance costs. That is why most of these systems fall into decay as time goes by. As they age they become less reliable and when they need repairs it leaves their riders stranded.

Patrick Kenny White Bear Lake

Metro Transit came to Vadnais Heights eight years ago with a project to put in a 300 space parking lot for Express Buses to St. Paul. They said, that in 5 years the ridership would fill the 300 spaces in the lot. After 6 years of operation the most cars ever parked in the Express bus parking lot was 60. This year, the number of cars parked varies from 6 to 10 cars with a couple parked cars being lived out of from time to time. Ten Riders for 3 round trip busses per day does not make any sense. Summit Orthopedics by joint agreement now has more of their employee's cars parked at the south end of the lot than the Express Bus ever achieved.

The Democrat Party has also changed drastically since JFK. In the book by Ronald Radosh, “COM MIES, A Journey Through the Old Left, the New Left, and the Leftover Left” -- Radosh explains how the Democrat Party became infiltrated with communists and socialists that created the leftist political culture we see today. Communism and socialism just didn’t go away during or after the Cold War, it infiltrated the Democratic Party.

In recent years, Kevin has been part of fiscally prudent investments in our district’s facilities that have changed how teachers teach and students learn. Safety and security at every building has been upgraded and athletic facilities have been updated. Our district has become nationally recognized for its engineering offerings. District-wide, there is a commitment to mental health through im proved support for students so they can better perform.

Through a private diagnosis I discovered my son was dyslexic and would struggle with reading, writ ing and spelling. Though he qualified for support, I discovered our public schools lacked the specific training in the literacy required. I learned that I wasn’t alone, 17-20% of the population struggles with literacy due to this often undiagnosed, unsupported disability.Iconnected with other local parents who were disheartened that none of our children were getting the specific help needed. Our only option was seek ing private instruction outside of the schools. Our kids were in crisis and their futures were at stake! How can we have equity in education when literacy success is privatized? We formed a grassroots organi zation centered on improving literacy outcomes for all students, especially those with dyslexia.

Everyone has ideas and opinions; a lot of people make promises. However, Senator Chamberlain has done more than make promises, he listened and deliv ered. He has demonstrated common sense, effective leadership and when it comes to public education, he has gotten things done.

We are writing to express our strong support for Kevin Donovan’s re-election to the Mahtomedi School Board on November 8. Kevin brings to the school board expertise in educational issues, a commitment to student achievement, and dedication to fiscal responsi bility. Over the years, he has advocated for students at the local, state, and national levels.

As chair of Senate education committee he had a "keep it simple" plan – focus on academics, no man dates solid funding and he continued to work to em power parents and strengthen parent - school partner ships. In 2021, he gave schools what they asked for. He authored and passed the largest formula increase in 15 years. No new mandates. Funding for reading. He sup ported and passed increased Teacher of Color Act, and stopped the teacher’s union from removing hundreds of teachers of color from the classroom. In 2022, again, he kept it simple academics, no new mandates, he au thored a six-fold increase in special education funding. Next, let's look at what he has done for kids with dys lexia. He worked with parents and educators to address the problem of dyslexia, authored and passed several pieces of bi-partisan legislation that even the teacher unionFinally,supported.thework with Dyslexia led to addressing the problem of reading. He worked with parents and edu cators to author and pass funding support for teachers to teach reading. Under the teacher’s union leadership, reading proficiency has declined from 59% of 3rd grad ers in 2013, to only 50% in 2022, who can read at grade level. That number is worse for math proficiency and for non-white students.

We’re grateful for Kevin’s ability to thoughtfully serve in a non-partisan capacity while keeping the well-being of all students and staff as his guidepost. Join us in voting for Kevin Donovan for Mahtomedi School Board on November 8.

The midterm election date is approaching soon, so I am encouraging my fellow residents to start educat ing themselves about important issues affecting their families. Are you tired of rising crime in our neigh borhoods? Troubled with the high costs of groceries and gas? Worried about our children’s futures due to declines in math and reading scores? Alarmed with the rise of addiction and mental health problems in our society?There are so many things going the wrong direction right now, but the good news is that we all have the choice to do something about it.

After passing the largest school levy in state history, they still can’t live within their means. Add in the 2.7 billion dollars from the Federal Covid-19 aid to Minne sota school districts and charters (Pioneer Press Aug. 21), they should have adequate funding already avail able. Education funding was supposed to come from the state. Maybe the school district should go to Roger Chamberlain and ask why he didn’t do his job and walked away from the negotiating table, leaving 2.7 bil lion dollars in surplus money of which a good part also would have gone to the school district? With housing values rising an average of 25%, the cost of the last levy will also rise 25% to homeowners, creating a windfall for the school district. My real estate taxes will rise to over $4,300, of which 43% goes to the school district! White Bear Lake school district will not be happy until they drive every senior citizen out of White Bear Lake (yes, I know all about the property tax rebate).

Jeff Davis is Communications Director for Whitetails Unlimited, a national nonprofit organization of over 110,000 members with a focus on deer hunting, resource conservation, and education. He knows that falls from tree stands offer the potential of serious injury, and that harnesses can nearly eliminate that risk.

“No deer in the world is worth serious injury that ranges from a twisted ankle to death,” Davis said. “Any time you get above the ground, you should wear a harness. The modern full-body harnesses are very good; they prevent a lot of injuries. Think what would happen if you fell and broke your pelvis or something else and couldn’t work… orHeworse.”likened body harnesses to seat belts, in that some people resist them, but they pose little imposition and offer lots of “Youprotection.justgetin the habit and it becomes second nature. It takes only a little thinking and a little doing,” he said.Ifhunters consider a safety harness an undue expense, Davis suggests they consider the cost of gas, ammunition, and other factors, then “work it into the budget.”Harnesses are widely available and affordable. The highly-regarded Tree Spider line of harnesses, for example, has options that start at less than $100, according to Davis.

According to data available from the Minnesota DNR, 2021 license sales across the state were strong (586,963), down slightly from 2020, which had been the highest since 2011. Deer harvest was also reduced, by roughly 9,000 animals.

DPA 236 (an area less than a third of DPA 701), which includes the northern Stillwater area, Hugo, Centerville, and Forest Lake, saw overall harvest that was similar, at 1,943 deer. However, archery and firearms hunters took proportions of deer that were roughly inverse from those in DPA 701, around 32% and 57%, respectively.

Also fortunate is the fact that falls from tree stands are almost entirely preventable. According to the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation, 86% of fall victims were not wearing

Black Bear Yacht Racing Association (BBYRA) of White Bear Lake held a club sailing regatta Labor Day Weekend. On Saturday the winds were favorable for the two back-to-back races. Sunday was a different story with almost non existent winds. Winds continued to be variable for the around-the-lake race.

Pinpoint passing by Gavin Knutson, and a kick off return for a touchdown by Rayshaun Brakes, sparked White Bear Lake past a struggling Rose ville Area team 38-7 at home.

Knutson hit 12 of 13 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Bears to a 38-0 lead before being pulled. Knutson has passed for 433 yards and four TD’s in two games, after an inactive junior year with Covid, a cracked fibula, and a concus sion. “I have complete trust in Gavin and decisions he makes,” Bartlett said.

White Bear Lake battled to a 1-1 tie with reigning state champion Mounds View at home last Wednes day in the conference opener, after winning three straight matches by shutout. “Considering that they were state champions last year and beat us 6-1, I’ll take it,” grinned Bear coach Karl Jende. Porter Drost scored for the Bears (3-1-1) midway through the second half and executed a back flip to celebrate. The Mustangs (2-0-2) pulled even with 10 minutes left on Aariz Arshad’s bullet past Kyle Christensen. In the overtime, Christensen knocked away a strong free kick by Arshad with :29 left. The Bears, after losing their opener to Maple Grove 3-0, whitewashed St. Paul Harding 4-0, Tartan 3-0 and Eagan 2-0. Ryan Dufresne has four goals, and Drost and Karolis Kairys two each.

Celebrating a goal by Ryan Dufresne against Eagan were Calvin Mckinney, Dufresne, Colby Petersen, and Charlie Olsen.

She graduated from Washburn High School in Minneapolis and went on to obtain her undergraduate degree in English at the University of Missouri - Columbia and Kansas City. While at the University of Missouri, she met the love of her life, Richard Eugene Hardwick and they were married in Kansas City on July 26, 1970. In a change of fate, Gene received a job offer in Minnesota and so the two moved back towards Zola’s hometown. Once back, she began attending Hamline University and received her Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, specializing in creative writing and nonfiction. Throughout her career, she worked as a travel agent, a teacher, and a writer. Outside of work, she was involved in the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), the St. Paul Opera, the Minnesota Transportation Museum in the Steam Train Division, the League of Women Voters of St. Paul, and the St. Paul Audubon Society. Even with all of that, she still managed to find time for her hobbies which included photography, card making, YMCA of White Bear Lake, and the Silver Sneakers. Zola was a very friendly woman who could make friends very easily. She had a great laugh and loved to be social. In fact, she lived her life with the motto, “Carpe Diem” in mind. This meant “Seize the day” and she seized every day of her life to its fullest. Zola will be missed by all who crossed paths with her in Minneapolis, Columbia and Kansas City, MO, St. Paul, and White Bear Lake.Zola is survived by her husband, Richard “Gene” Hardwick of White Bear Lake; her siblings, Marjorie Spannaus, Harry Clarkson, Lynda Parry; her nieces and nephews, Christy, David, Laura, Cathy, John, Jeff, and Stacey; her special friend, Kathleen Casen Mickelson; and many other family and friends.

“Retirees sometimes seem a bit more strategic and look more ‘long term’ for homes where they can age in place,” Ashby said.

Mark Ashby of Edina Realty offers five tips to guide retirees in making a significant real estate decision.

“Folks might want to consider onelevel living and opt for an open floor plan with bright light,” Ashby said.

Selling your home for retirement

Large family homes aren’t always conducive to just one or two people living in them. All that space requires maintenance and some folks might not want to spend their retirement cleaning. Downsizing and opting for a cabin or vacation home might be a way to stay in a traditional home, but with fewer rooms to clean.

Living in the city offers a lot of convenience with doctors, shopping centers and family and friends being a short drive away. Spending the majority of your time at the cabin might make it more difficult to access everyday needs. For some, that might be an ideal situation to be away from the bustle of the metro. Others might not be ready to give up the“Iaccessibility.havealsoseen clients after a year or two of being up north wanting to sell and move back as they sometimes find out that family and friends do not visit as much as they had hoped due to the drive and busy lifestyles.

Adding a new cabin into the mix might mean more physical labor to maintain the property.

“Cabins and lake homes can require a lot of maintenance which along with kids and grandkids being so busy it sometimes does not get used much,” Ashby said.

The big picture: Ultimately buying or selling depends on what is right for each individual. Consider your health and resources before making a decision, but when in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask an expert. Having these resources in mind can help you make the most of your retirement, wherever you decide to live.

Retirees who are looking for a place to get away, buying a cabin or vacation home might be an option. For others, selling old properties and downsizing might be the right direction for them.

Retirees might want to look for a new place that is all on one level to make mobility simple. If the old home has too many stairs and obstacles, finding a new home might be a good option.

4. Consider the climate Tip number four is for the snowbirds out there. It’s no secret that Minnesota winters can be harsh. Shoveling snow and a risk of falling on the ice might be enough reasons to consider moving down south.“Isee more retirees wanting warmer climates,” Ashby said.

5. Don’t give up convenience

“We hear clients say, ‘We want to be able to buy something after selling the large family home where we can age in place until we may need some special assistance,’” Ashby said.

This tax benefit is a real estate investing tool, which allows investors to swap out an investment property for another and put off capital gains or losses or capital

But before making any major moves with your property, talking to an accountant might help folks get the most out of their old property. Plus an accountant might guide retirees to a new location with no income tax like Florida or Nevada.

more difficult, so it is important to consult with a financial advisor and your real estate agent to let them know what your budget is.

Ashby has seen plenty of clients decide who have decided to move to Southwest Florida or Arizona to enjoy the warm weather. Buying a cabin up north might simply be too cold for older folks. Living down south might be a warmer way to enjoy retirement. It’s been a major trend for retirees to start the snowbird lifestyle.

“We see folks who want to trade the cold Minnesota winters for 80 degrees and sunshine,” Ashby said.

5 real estate tips for retirement

Now is the time to consider other types of housing that aren’t just a traditional home. Luxury apartments, condos, townhomes and single-family villas are all good options for retirees. Many of these housing choices don’t require lawn care and may have a cleaning service option for those who need a little extra help.

Ultimately buying or selling depends on what is right for each individual.

His love for automobiles was further demonstrated in his love for drag racing, and the cars that parked in his garage over the years, including a 57 Chevy, a 67 Chevelle, and his 1970 442. Bruce was a lover of listening to classical piano and smooth jazz on the stereo, and also of tinkering with and fixing those Stereos. Most of all, Bruce was dedicated to his family.

In addition to the economic costs, excessive drink ing is linked to an increased risk of violence and inju ry, like traffic crashes, and chronic health problems like liver disease, heart disease, high blood pressure and some cancers.

Key findings of the report include:

Excessive drinking cost Minnesotans nearly $8 billion in 2019, according to a new study from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine.

One strategy being implemented in Minnesota to re duce the harms of excessive drinking is called Place of Last Drink (POLD). POLD is an initiative in almost 30 Minnesota communities that systematically col lects data on where individuals last drank when they are stopped for any type of alcohol-related incident (e.g., traffic stop, domestic violence). Establishments that are named more frequently can be offered assis tance and education to improve practices to reduce illegal service to already intoxicated patrons.

People in Minnesota can use this online communities/alcohol/basics/alcoholhealth.htmlinformation,makeindex.html)(https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/checkyourdrinking/tooltolearnmoreabouttheirdrinkingandaplantoavoiddrinkingtoexcess.Formorevisithttps://www.health.state.mn.us/.

• About 3% of inpatient hospital treatments were attributable to alcohol, but these visits accounted for 35% of all inpatient health care costs.

• Lost productivity accounted for almost three-quar ters of the financial costs, including increased absen teeism, impaired productivity at work and at home, premature mortality and incarceration.

• For each alcoholic drink purchased, people in Minnesota experience an impact cost equivalent of $2.86.•Binge drinking contributed to 73% of the financial costs to society, or $5.7 billion. These costs are due to things like lost productivity, crime, motor vehicle crashes and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Minnesota Department of Health

The study found the greatest financial cost fell on those who drink excessively and their families, as well as government and health insurance providers. Other parts of society, including employers, also were found to experience negative impacts from excessive drinking.“Excessive drinking can significantly affect indi vidual health, but it also has a cost for families, com munities and the health care system,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “The financial burden is staggering, and of course there are addi tional psychological and societal impacts and harms in addition to those measured here. It’s important that we acknowledge these impacts and find ways to mitigate them.”

Excessive drinking includes binge drinking (four or more drinks on an occasion for women, five or more drinks for men), heavy drinking (eight or more drinks per week for women, 15 or more drinks per week for men) or any drinking among pregnant peo ple or people under age 21.
