Life lessons from dad
Beach shooting not random, officials ask for public’s help
I was seven years old and it was 1966. One evening my Mom was at a U of M night class working on her college degree and my Dad said he had to go to his office to get something and I needed to go with him as I couldn’t be home alone. While there I waited for him by sitting at his secretary’s desk and imagined what it would be like to work there. When he came out of his office he stood next to me and I said, “Dad, I want to be a secretary.” He replied, “No Sarah, you want to have a secretary.” Over the years I came to wholly understand the importance of his words and how he opened my eyes to other things in 1966 when you could count on one hand the acceptable jobs for single women and they had to leave them when they were married and became pregnant.

This Father's Day Press Publications wanted to honor local dads. We asked our readers to share what life lessons they have learned from their fathers. Here were the responses:
SUBMITTED BY SARAH WESMAN
The biggest lesson our dad has taught us is to be ourselves. Ignore the distractions and listen to our own inner voices. Mind our own business and don’t be scared to walk alone sometimes. Work hard and enjoy life. And don’t let anyone’s ignorance, drama, or negativity derail us. We love you dad.
Our dad, Robert Madson has called White Bear Lake home now for over 50 years. Our dad always instills the importance of family. Family first! Thank you for being an amazing father and grandpa! Happy Father’s Day! We love you! SUBMITTED BY SHARI, MARK & MICHELLE

Through example my dad taught me what it truly means to have integrity. He showed me this by the way he treats and respects my mom, which taught me my value when I was a young girl. He never lets me down. He is a man of his word and holds himself accountable for his actions. He knows how to lift you up with his words and provide comfort and encouragement when you’re struggling.
My husband is a phenomenal father of two beautiful daughters. He teaches them to have self-confidence, how to do hard math and laughs a lot with them. SUBMITTED BY MRS. SHELAGO-HEGNA

Law enforcement officials are asking for the public’s help in identifying the individuals involved in a shooting that took place last week near the White Bear PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS Lake boat White Bear County Park, where a launch. shooting took place last week near On Monday, the boat launch. June 8, around 4:30 p.m., deputies responded to a shots fired call at Ramsey Beach. While en route, a 24-year-old man, who has since been identified as Alejandro Ray Seals, called to report that he and his daughter had been shot and were driving to the hospital. Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said that officials are looking for a dark blue or black Ford Edge that was seen waiting near the Ramsey Beach parking lot with its hazard lights on and later seen leaving the scene shortly after the shooting. Alejandro, his daughter, girlfriend and twin brother, Antonio Seals, had returned to the boat launch when the someone fired three shots from the passenger side of the Ford Edge. The suspects are believed to have been waiting in the parking lot for the victims. “We believe that the father or his twin brother were the intended targets, that it was not a random shooting, (and) that the suspects were aware of their location based upon social media posts that they (the victims) had made while they were out on the water,” Fletcher said. “There is some history between the shooters and the victims that we believe caused them to be targeted.” Alejandro was treated at St. John’s Hospital for a non-life threatening gunshot wound and has since been released. His daughter was transferred to Region’s Hospital. Fletcher said that she has been released as well. “She was shot in the leg. She has a serious injury to her leg, but she is out as well.” No arrests have yet been made, and investigators are working on identifying a motive. “It’s an ongoing investigation, and we do have some significant leads, but nothing that we can share with the public at this time,” Fletcher said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 651-266-7320. Information can be left anonymously.
