White Bear grad headed for space station

Girls welcomed in local Cub Scout packs

BY JANICE COLLOVA PRESS INTERN

Some Cub Scout leaders were not surprised when the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced last summer that packs could choose to welcome girls. In fact, the announcement was anticipated.

“I wasn’t surprised, because the district let us know that it seemed like we were going in that direction,” said Dan Celotta, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 692 in Lino Lakes. Brian Peterson, Committee Chair of Cub Pack 432 in Centerville, was also hearing “higher-up” Scout leaders talk about the possibility of girls joining. Both chairs had noticed girls in their communities informally participate in Scout activities in the past.

Not only was the BSA’s announcement anticipated, it was welcomed.

While girls were still allowed to participate in Scout activities, they did not officially earn awards, achievements and ranks. Celotta recalled one particular girl who did the same activities to earn an award as the pack’s official members but watched everyone else receive something “tangible” while she received nothing. “It didn’t make much sense to her or anybody else,” Celotta recalled. Now that girls can register as Cub Scouts, they can officially be awarded for their achievements.

Yet welcoming girls in Scouts has not happened overnight. In fact, so far only 32 packs in the area, including Celotta’s, have welcomed girls under the early adopter program.

The Northern Star Council, which administers to packs mostly in the Metro and central Minnesota, decided to not let all packs that chose to, welcome girls immediately. Instead, beginning this past March, the council allowed only packs that had applied to be “early adopter” packs welcome girls. What these packs learn about welcoming girls into their communities, the Council will apply when more packs welcome girls for the official 2018-2019 program year in order to make the introduction to the program the best it can be. In a sense, the early adopter program works like a transitional pilot program.

The early adopter program will also be applied to Boy Scouts when that organization begins welcoming girls in February 2019 under the changed name “Scouts, BSA.”

Robo taxis in downtown White Bear? Not here, not yet WHITE BEAR LAKE — It's not a question of if, but when driverless cars become mainstream.

A University of Minnesota research scholar at the Center for Transportation Studies compares the autonomous technology to mobile phones.

“In the '80s, we had car phones,” said Frank Douma, director of state and local policy at the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

“They could only be used in the vehicle. Then the phone's range extended to more roads and eventually to no roads. Today, service is ubiquitous. I expect the demand for driverless vehicles will increase, as well. It's available in wider and wider areas.”

The private sector is behind the pursuit of driverless vehicles.

A Mountain View, California, company called Waymo, spun off from Google in 2016, is leading the charge. They are operating hundreds of test vehicles, mostly Chrysler Pacifica minivans, in major cities like Austin, Atlanta, San Francisco and Phoenix. All are far from snow and ice, which is difficult for the driverless cars to navigate, according to Douma.

The U of M program director was invited by the White Bear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce to discuss the vehicles and the feasibility of driverless taxi service in the city's downtown. He spoke to chamber members Aug. 1 in Key's conference room.

Driverless Uber taxi service is already available in Pittsburg, Las Vegas and Boston, noted chamber Executive Director Tom Snell. He feels the “revolution in transportation

SUBMITTED

The EZ10 is a driverless bus, which was demonstrated at the University of Minnesota in April.

The low-speed bus has no steering wheel or brake pedal. It is all electric and took 12 passengers at a time across the Washington Avenue Bridge using GPS to guide its path. The bus is fully accessible for passengers of all abilities.

options” could become standard practice in Minnesota cities in a few short years. Iowa City and Madison, Wisconsin, have also started the process to bring these vehicles to their community, he said.

So why not White Bear Lake?

Vehicles like the French-built EZ10 demonstrated on the Twin Cities campus could be deployed in downtown White Bear Lake, at least in the summer, but they do have restrictions, Douma said. “The State Patrol is not comfortable with them so state roads (like Hwy. 61) are off

limits,” he noted. Another limitation is the driverless vehicle will stop, but is not yet adept at getting around an obstacle.

The bus demo'd on campus in April is part of the Automated Shuttle Bus Pilot Project led by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. MnDOT has been working with 3M, French bus manufacturer EasyMile and First Transit to test the bus in Minnesota. At the time, the university indicated it had no specific plans to implement the technology.

Douma got involved in the autonomous technology in 2012. Waymo has been around for about nine years.

An online search of the company showed Waymo has 600 or more test vehicles operating in at least 25 cities. Its vehicles have racked up more than 8 million miles of testing on public roads and there are plans to launch a ride-hailing business for paying passengers in a Phoenix suburb by end of year.

At last winter's International Auto Show in New York, company chief executive John Krafcik said Waymo planned to buy as many as 20,000 electric cars from Jaguar Land Rover and outfit them with radars, cameras and sensors it has developed to enable the vehicles to drive themselves on public roads.

General Motors is “hot on their heels,” the U of M director added.

The Detroit automaker plans to start a driverless ride service that uses robotic cars in late 2019.

As for bringing it to White Bear, he said proponents need to make a “business case” to the driverless car companies that the city deserves their attention. They need density to make money, Douma added, noting downtown Minneapolis would be a more feasible pilot area.

“Para-transit” for the disabled or elderly is also seen as a potential market.

The adoption rate could feasibly be in three to five years: faster than the smartphone and faster than the switch from horse-drawn to motorized vehicles.

Emergency service taken ill

I

F YOU MAKE a medical emergency call on weekdays in White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Dellwood, Gem Lake, Birchwood, White Bear Township or southern Lino Lakes, you could be in trouble.

The White Bear Lake Fire Department is short of part-time paramedics and they have found it difficult to fill the positions.

How long will the public have to wait and will there be untimely deaths due to this impaired service?

That’s the question the White Bear Lake City Council has been wrestling with the last couple of months. They plan to act on this About the issue next week.

The problem existed before that.

Town The firefighting part-time paraGene Johnson medic personnel have not been sustainable. More resignations over the past several years have created a problem that is growing.

To date they have been primarily operating on a part-time per call basis, but with the population growing older and requests for service increasing, the fire chief, city staff and council are beginning to look to more full-time people. They have been slow in getting it accomplished.

Currently, the city of White Bear Lake has two full-time paramedics. The current goal is to have eight to alleviate the availability of the part-time personnel who have regular job responsibilities.

Employment shortages are everywhere. We train people in the newspaper business and they move on to bigger and better opportunities. It’s a real challenge for us, too.

These things don’t just happen overnight. You just have to read the numbers to know what’s happening.

Part of the problem is that when local service is not readily available due to lack of staff, they have to call another service which causes serious delays. It may take three or four times as long to bring the service where it is needed and every minute counts when you are dealing with life and death issues.

So what do they do? Leadership needs to take action. We have a city administrator who has alerted the council. We have a mayor who is very concerned. Now we need to get the council aligned so they can move forward.

Some things you can discuss and discuss, but action is needed. There isn’t time to waste.

Not every decision you make will be perfect.

They can be modified and corrected.

Let’s not waste time on life and death issues.

ON AUGUST 3, Kathy and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. It has been a good run.

We have been favored in so many ways and give thanks daily to our Lord for the partnership, four children and their spouses, five grandchildren and 5-1/2 great-grandchildren.

Time has gone fast and in this column over the years you have read of our many adventures.

We have learned a lot together. We have shed tears of both joy and sorrow and have laughed a lot together over the dumb things we do and have done.

We still have a bucket list of travel destinations and continue to enjoy long-time friends as well as making new ones.

The community newspaper business allows us to connect with many people in many different walks of life. We are fortunate to have friends from around the world.

Living on the water in the winters builds close friendships. Wherever there are common bonds, relationships flourish.

On Aug. 4, Gordy and Kathy Jarvis helped us celebrate on the St. Croix River on their river boat, the Afton Princess. Many of our friends were there to help us enjoy that and the good food catered from the Afton House.

Transparency: Those who can hide it, will We can’t rely on public officials to voluntarily surrender information

T

he commissioners in Guilford County, N.C., voted this year to move all public notices required by state law from local newspapers to the county’s website. Four companies that publish newspapers in the county recently filed suit to have the ordinance — and the statute that enabled it — ruled unconstitutional. If the lawsuit fails, Guilford will become the first county in the U.S. to completely arrogate to itself the responsibility Notes on for publishing its notices. And there is a grave Notices danger that the practice Richard Karpel will spread to the rest of the state.

There are many reasons why this is a spectacularly bad idea.

Perhaps one of the best is simple human nature: If you give people the ability to hide information that is embarrassing or otherwise inconvenient to reveal, nine times out of 10 they will hide it.

Earlier this month, elected officials and government employees in Robeson County, N.C., provided us with a timely illustration of how they hide unpleasant information when presented with the opportunity to do so. According to the county’s largest newspaper, the names of close relatives of two county commissioners were omitted from a delinquent-tax notice published in a local weekly paper. The Robesonian also reports it was the second straight year the names were excluded from the

“If you give people the ability to hide information that is embarrassing or otherwise inconvenient to reveal, nine times out of 10 they will hide it.” list, so it’s clear it wasn’t the result of a simple mistake. A public official in the county whose identity has yet to be revealed made it happen.

Perhaps even a better example came to us recently from Michigan, where late last year the state’s environmental agency published a notice about a Nestle Waters proposal to pump more groundwater from public wells for its Ice Mountain bottling plant in the state.

The agency knew it was a controversial matter since earlier attempts by Nestle to use public groundwater met with widespread opposition. Yet the only notice the agency provided about the proposal was posted on its own website.

The notice had been buried on that website for 41 days before a reporter from the Grand Rapids Press discovered it and wrote a story about the proposal. For those 41 days, the notice had attracted zero public attention or comment — not even from an environmental organization that has for many years fought Nestle in court to reduce the amount of water the company can withdraw from Michigan wells. Within the first three days after the newspaper’s story was published, the agency received 3,000 comments and the public

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supporting DFLer for governor

This coming Tuesday, Aug. 14, is the primary election for governor in Minnesota. As a young person living with a severe disability, I know that the next election can have a huge impact on the disability community.

I am supporting Congressman Tim Walz in the DFL Primary for governor because I believe he will be able to pull people from across the state to protect Medicaid and improve education for all students across the state.

We need a governor and Legislature that will do everything they can to protect Medicaid services that people with disabilities depend on to live in their communities. I’ll be voting for Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan because they will work together to keep our state moving in the right direction even when faced with threats to Medicaid and other services that people with disabilities need.

Tim Walz was a teacher and knows the importance of making sure that education is inclusive and accessible for students with disabilities. Funding education, special education, and making college more affordable are important in making sure that all students are ready for the jobs of the future.

We need to elect a governor who can work productively with either party to get stuff done. The needs of the disability community do not change depending on what party is in control. Tim Walz will keep moving Minnesota forward and make sure that those of us with disabilities are not left behind.

NOTICES IN A NUTSHELL Public P bli notice ti is i information i f ti alerting citizens of government or government-related activities that may cause a citizen to take action. Traditionally and effectively newspapers—that are intended for general circulation, published regularly at short intervals, containing intelligence of current news of general interest— have published public notices because newspapers spark the curiosity and are delivered to the interested public.

The purpose of public notice is to display information in places where the public is likely to come into notice. The important premise is that information about government

Charles Prokop Charles Prokop, 86, died July 27. Retired White Bear Lake High School physics, math and chemistry teacher and gymnastics coach. Mass of Christian Burial was July 31 at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church, White Bear Lake.

Public notice laws in this country serve to outline the most effective method of reaching the public. Before a state designates a newspaper to publish public notices, states generally require the newspaper to have a paid circulation, a minimum percentage of news content, a local publishing address, and a continuous publishing history. The latter requirement ensures stability in the venue for public notices, so that the public will have a reliable place to search for public notices.

outcry over the proposal forced it to extend the comment period and schedule a public hearing. It eventually received over 80,000 comments.

In retrospect, it’s pretty easy to see why the agency decided not to publish the notice in a local newspaper — an option it had been granted a few years earlier by the state legislature.

Public notice laws were enacted in all 50 states by previous generations that understood that some information is so important we can’t rely on public officials to voluntarily surrender it.

So they passed laws stating precisely when and where such information

New law reforms handling of sexual assault exam kits A new state law co-authored by Rep. Randy Jessup (R-Shoreview) took effect Aug. 1. Its provisions will reform the way sexual assault examination kits are handled, provide clarity to law enforcement and put power back in the hands of survivors seeking justice, according to Jessup's office.

The law came after a 2015 audit done by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) found a statewide backlog of nearly 3,500 untested kits, including some involving open cases.

“Since becoming a legislator, I have worked hard to ensure that victims of sexual assault receive the justice they deserve,” said Rep. Jessup. “This law is a critical step in the right direction in the fight against sexual assault in Minnesota. I was proud to be a co-author on this legislation and look forward to continuing this important work in the future.”

The new law requires law enforcement to retrieve an unrestricted sexual assault examination kit for

testing within 10 days of notice and submit that kit for testing at a forensic laboratory within 60 days.

“Unrestricted” means the patient has authorized law enforcement to submit the kit to a forensic laboratory for testing.

The law makes clear that the kit does not have to be tested if it’s believed to not have evidentiary value in a case (if there is a confession, for example), but still requires law enforcement to make a record with the county attorney on why the kit did not add evidentiary value.

The kit ensures victims are more easily able to track their kits through the system, requiring law enforcement to respond within 30 days to requests from victims about when their kit was submitted to a lab and whether a DNA profile was obtained from testing.

It also requires law enforcement agencies to provide liaison services between the victim, agency and lab, helping victims more easily navigate what can be a

complicated and overwhelming system. The goal is to create clear procedures for victims who may choose to come forward at a later date with testing and reclassify their kit from restricted to unrestricted.

This new law was crafted in a working group which included stakeholders associated with law enforcement, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), health care, attorneys, sexual assault nurse examiners and the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA). MNCASA has also been instrumental in seeking federal grants that will help test all the remaining untested kits, looking especially for serial rapists.

New DWI law restricts off enders from ATVs, boats and snowmobiles A new law that went into effect Aug. 1 means people convicted of driving while intoxicated – regardless of the vehicle they’re driving – will lose their driver’s license and be prohibited from operating motor vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles, motorboats and snowmobiles.

The state Legislature passed the law following the death of 8-year-old Alan Geisenkoetter Jr., who died in January after being struck by a snowmobile driven by a man whose driver’s license was

revoked after multiple DWI offenses.

Before the law change, people convicted of DWI in a highway-licensed vehicle still could legally operate ATVs, motorboats and snowmobiles. The changes apply to violations that occur on or after Aug. 1.

“We have zero tolerance for people who endanger themselves and other people by operating a motor vehicle or recreational vehicle while they’re intoxicated,” said Col. Rodmen Smith, director of the Minnesota DNR Enforce-

ment Division. “This new law should send the message that drinking and driving – no matter what the vehicle – isn’t acceptable and the consequences are severe.”

As an example, a person convicted of DWI in a motorboat, or who refuses testing for a motorboat DWI, would have their driver’s license suspended and be prohibited from operating ATVs, motorboats and snowmobiles for one year. Additionally, first-time DWI offenders operating off-road recreation-

al vehicles or motorboats also will be subject to chemical use assessments, conditional release and plate impoundment – the same as a DWI in a highway-licensed vehicle.

The Minnesota DNR and other law enforcement agencies in the state, along with ATV and snowmobile groups, supported the law change, which passed the Legislature with bipartisan support and was signed into law in May by Gov. Mark Dayton.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • Another thoughtless dog owner: A passerby in a parking lot in the 900 block of County Road E on the afternoon of July 25 noticed two dogs in a vehicle with the windows only cracked open. That’s not enough air to make sure dogs will survive the heat. This one hopefully turned out all right: the vehicle was gone when a deputy arrived.

• Sunglasses and softball gear went missing overnight July 26 from a vehicle parked in a hotel parking lot in the 1100 block of County Road E. The loss was estimated at $2,000.

• Just having a good time No. 1: An anonymous caller complained about four men drinking and yelling in the 800 block of County Road E the afternoon of July 29.

White Bear Township • A 33-year-old Township resident reported hearing suspicious activity just before midnight on July 24 near Hobe Lane and Bald Eagle Boulevard, then saw

suspects in a teal-colored truck drive off with her maroon, EZ-Go golf cart. The golf cart was later recovered in Lino Lakes and an investigation is underway.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Sheriff's Office catches 110 mph speeder

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office was one of more than 300 law enforcement agencies that participated in an extra speed enforcement campaign in Minnesota from July 6 to 22. Officers, deputies and troopers issued 14,661 citations for unsafe speeds and 1,625 seat belt citations. During the campaign, 25 agencies reported speeds of 100 mph or more. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office cited one person going 110 mph.

Some of the excuses and traffic stops law enforcement encountered during the two-week period: • “Trying to make it to Taco Bell before it closes.” (99 mph in 65 mph zone) • “Just picked up a glass cake pan from a friend, excited to get home and start cooking.” (45 mph in 35 mph zone) • A motorcyclist riding 120 mph-plus in a 50 mph zone recently bought the motorcycle and wanted to go fast. His best friend died in a motorcycle crash this year.

• Two different troopers cited the same driver for the same speed about 32 minutes apart. (79 mph in 60 mph zone) • “Trying to get air in the truck since the AC is broken.” (75 mph in 65 mph zone) • “I was going nowhere near the speed

limit. You got me.” (83 mph in 55 mph zone) Cost of a speeding violation varies by county, but it will typically cost a driver more than $110 with court fees for traveling 10 mph over the limit. Fines double for those traveling 20 mph over the limit.

A driver can lose their license for six months for going 100 mph or more.

In 2017, speed was a contributing factor in 22 percent of single-vehicle crashes.

During the 100 deadliest days (Memorial Day – Labor Day) from 2013 - 2017, preliminary numbers show that 108 people lost their lives in speed-related crashes.

Even the best driver cannot overcome the laws of physics — high speed means high energy, which leads to serious and fatal injuries even in the safest of vehicles.

The enhanced enforcement and education effort was coordinated through the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety with overtime paid with federal funds received from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The extra overtime shifts also resulted in other arrests and citations for incidents such as DWI, controlled substance and texting while driving.

Birchwood City Hall has new piece of art Mayor Mary Wingfield said the municipal building could be the first in the country to feature a “barn quilt.”

The plywood quilts are promoted in pockets around Minnesota, as well as communities around the country, according to Wingfield.

“They bring people together and add art and color to our environment,” she noted. “What's more, anyone can participate. Barn quilts are found on garages, garden sheds, cottages and now city hall.”

Wingfield thinks the artwork could be a great promotion for the region, much like the concrete white bears spotted around White Bear Lake.

The mayor recalled how she and her mom discovered barn quilt trails in Iowa when they got off the beaten path on a trip to see Mary's brother in Omaha. “We spotted a number of 'quilts' in Sac County that added a vibrant texture to an otherwise, snowy, drab landscape,” wrote Wingfield in a “What's new in

SCOUTS: Transition begins for packs in early adopter program FROM PAGE 1A

Meanwhile, the council’s marketing/ communications director Kent York, said that even with this change, the Cub Scouts program will not undergo many other significant changes. For one, Scouts has always been a “family program.” Family members have always been invited to attend monthly meetings, events, volunteer opportunities and camps. With the door open, girls in a sense have always been involved in Scouts. The only difference now, York said, is that girls can participate, not just as family members tagging along, but as official card-carrying members of the program.

According to York, one reason why the BSA decided to allow girls to become official members is because families and leaders have wanted it for years. “You have to listen to what your families of your prospective members are telling you,” York said. “We’re trying to meet the needs of today’s families.

“Families today are busier than ever it seems,” York explained. “They’re looking for a one-stop shop … to involve their son and daughter instead of running to two different places.”

is how Ellie and Kaelyn, of Centerville and Lino Lakes respectively, got involved in Cub Scouts.

Kaelyn’s mom, Mindy McLain, said that Kaelyn had wanted to be an official Scouts member from the very beginning. “When you’re watching your older brother do (Scouts) for years,” she explained, recalling what Kaelyn must have thought, “(you think to yourself), 'when’s it my turn?’”

Ellie’s mom, Leslie Russell, recalled that when Ellie went to a Scout camp with her younger brother several years ago, she “got hooked” on the activities he did and had been involved in Scout activities ever since.

Both girls enjoy Scouts because its emphasis on outdoor adventures and camping already appeals to their interests. McLain described her daughter as a “rough-and-tumble” kind of girl while Ellie herself said that she enjoys “getting her hands dirty and interacting with things.”

The girls tried Girl Scouts when they were younger. While both their mothers noted that Girl Scouts is a good program with good leadership, fun activities and a welcoming environment, the program simply wasn’t for their daughters.

“There’s Scouting for everyone,” McLain said, who noted that there are other Scouting organizations in the metro area besides Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts.

Eight-year-old Kaelyn was registered when Pack 692 became an early adopter in March. Since then she has earned both the Bobcat and Wolf ranks. Tenyear-old Ellie will register in the fall but already has her own uniform and has been welcomed into Pack 432 by Peterson. This fall she will continue working on earning her Arrow of Light rank.

In the midst of this change, Cubmaster Craig Flor of Pack 212 in Vadnais Heights said nothing “earth-shattering” is happening, especially with

regard to girls joining his own early adopter pack.

“They’re just kids, we’re all doing the same thing and having a good time,” he said.

There are other ways girls — and boys — can benefit from joining Scouts, besides having fun. Developing as a leader, community service, practicing citizenship, building character and confidence and learning new skills in a safe environment are all common themes mentioned by leadership interviewed for this article.

Another important benefit is that youth can become part of a community.

Celotta said that anyone can “fit in” at Scouts. “If there are kids who haven’t found their niche, they might find their sense of community with this group.”

To register a child for Scouts, the Northern Star Council website is now open for registration by both girls and boys. Families can also register for packs that only include boys. On Sept.

20, elementary schools throughout the region will hold an open house to help families register their child for Scouts.

Loon Chronicles III: Takeoffs and Landings Another fascinating week of watching the Loons on White Bear Lake. With all of the early morning Loon parties and related comings and goings, we were able to focus on watching them take off and land on the water. To understand how this all works, a short Loon anatomy lesson is in order. The placement of the Loons’ legs, near the back of their bodies, makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for Loons to walk or take flight from land. Taking off from water, although easier, has its own challenges. Loons need a long “runway” to take off and become airborne. Before deciding to take flight, Loons will turn and face directly into the wind and start running in that direction, with their wings flapping for at least 30 yards. Once they have enough air rushing beneath their wings, they can become airborne. The center frame features a Loon headed straight into the wind and taking off just in time to fly over our boat. Despite their 5-foot wingspan, Loons have relatively short wings for their size, which allows for deep diving and quick turning while pursuing fish and other prey under water. Loons, nevertheless, are very skilled fliers, reaching speeds up to 80 mph, distances in excess of 600 miles in a 24-hour period, and altitudes ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 feet.

Landings also require a bit of a runway to allow for the ever awkward gliding crash.

Always entertaining!

Junk removal business empowers veterans through entrepreneurship

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR

One person's junk can oftentimes be another person's treasure. Managing his own junk removal business, an area veteran has found a new way to give back to his community while helping veterans with the transition back to civilian life.

Vadnais Heights resident Josh Helm, a 2004 White Bear Lake Area High School grad, serves as the White Bear Lake territory partner for JDog Junk Removal & Hauling.

“I get to help people and truly make an impact on veterans. I can help them if they are struggling with the transition from military culture to the civilian world,” Helm said. “And I get to give back to the community that I am from.”

JDog was started in 2011 by Gerald “Jerry” Flanagan, who is an honorably discharged Army veteran who obtained the nickname “JDog” while in the military. JDog franchises are located all over the United States, but the White Bear Lake location is the only franchise in Minnesota. JDog offers a variety of services including residential and commercial junk removal, estate/foreclosure clean outs, labor services, cardboard/paper/metal recycling and industrial clean outs.

Helm opened the business in April, and serves the entire metro area.

“The purpose of JDog is to empower veterans through employment and entrepreneurship,” Helm explained. “We try to hire as many veterans and veterans' family members as possible but we also have civilians, too.”

After Helm graduated from high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and volunteered to go to Iraq in 2006 for a year. He went back for a second tour to Iraq from 2008-09.

“I got back from my fi rst tour and PTSD wasn't really a thing yet. I was going through a lot of issues fi nding myself. I couldn't really

relate to many people. I kind of ran back to Iraq, to where I felt safe,” he said. “When I was in Iraq on my second tour I realized I had some experience being a leader and could help some of the younger guys.”

After getting out of the military in 2012, he tried to become a chef and worked at various local venues. “I wanted to be the next big thing but I wasn't very good,” he said.

One of Helm's friends, whom he met on his fi rst tour in Iraq, is in charge of a JDog franchise in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and invited him to come check out the business and what it entails. After training under him for six months, Helm started his Minnesota business.

Karyn Essen, a Hugo resident, serves as the operations manager.

She met Helm when he was the chef at at a restaurant she managed.

“We have always worked together so it just seemed right for us to do this together,” she said.

In addition, the venture makes Essen feel she is giving back to her country in a way she was never able to. Her dad, uncle, grandpa and great uncle all served in the military and she was planning to

join the Air Force, but changed her plans after she had her son.

Helm said JDog really helps veterans to feel the same camaraderie they were a part of while in the service.

“It really gives us the culture back. We speak the same language and can relate to the same issues,” he said. “We have guys who were in the Vietnam War, Cold War, Iraq War; even though there is a huge age difference we can all instantly relate to each other because of that feeling of family and brotherhood.”

to think anything is out of reach,” he told them. “Just do something you're passionate about.”

The elite group will fly on spacecraft developed not by NASA, but by two corporations, SpaceX and Boeing, which are under contract to provide a taxi-like service to the space station.

Cassada, who was chosen as an astronaut candidate in 2013, and astronaut Sunita Williams, at 52 the veteran of the group, will fly for Boeing in the first operational mission to the space station.

According to The Washington Post, Boeing and SpaceX were awarded a combined $6.8 million in contracts from NASA in 2014 to develop spacecraft capable of flying crews to the station. Since the shuttle was retired seven years ago, U.S. astronauts have had to fly on Russian rockets from a remote launch site in Kazakhstan.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine called the Aug. 3 announcement at Johnson Space Center a historic moment for the agency: “We are going to launch American astronauts from American soil. That's a big deal.”

Flights are scheduled for 2019.

Astronaut Josh Cassada answers questions from students in 2016 in the South Campus theater. He told them the most physically and mentally challenging part of the training was underwater spacewalk simulations. His favorite part was learning to speak Russian, a requirement since Russia is the United States’ primary space travel ally.

Outdoor concert celebrates church community All for a good cause, money raised at the annual St. Mary of the Lake SummerFest gets earmarked for repairs and maintenance. But it goes beyond that.

“Over the past couple of years, the concert has expanded beyond just the parish to encompass the White Bear community,” said Anne Simons, who serves on the concert committee. “The change is reflected in the name, SummerFest. Proceeds benefit St. Mary's maintenance needs but another primary goal is community outreach.”

According to church pastor Fr. Ralph Talbot, the concert has raised $100,000 in nine years. It has grown from earning $5,000 in ticket and concession sales to twice that amount in recent years.

One reason might be the headliner, Martin Zellar, who is returning for the third time.

Concert Committee Chair Davin Brandt said the Minnesota musician has a good following in the area with an uptick in ticket sales every year they’ve booked him.

Zellar was a frontman for the Gear Daddies in the late '80s and early '90s.

In addition to the music, hamburgers, hot dogs and brats will be sold and the men’s softball team will be pouring beer and wine.

Although SummerFest is not a major fundraiser for the 137-year-old parish, proceeds do help finance smaller capital repair items.

For example, money raised has funded a new fence at the Parish Life Center and school, purchased a new lawn mower, and helped pay for sidewalk and step repairs and parking lot improvements.

“It’s a good cause, family-friendly, and it's fun,” Talbot noted. “It's meant to bring our parish together and to

encourage anyone from the community to come. It's a great gathering of White Bear Lake folks.”

An estimated 900 people attend the outdoor festival.

Educator attends Google Innovator Academy

White Bear Lake Area Schools Digital Learning Specialist Ryan Clark was one of just 36 educators from around the U.S. chosen to attend Google Innovator Academy in Venice, California, last month. The academy is part of a whole year of programming, including a formal mentorship with an established innovator and a project framed around the question, "How might we make learning feel more personal?"

College featured in documentary

A new mini-documentary from WorkingNation details how Century College in White Bear Lake is training students for good-paying jobs in the growing prosthetics fi eld. Century College is serving the need for orthotics and prosthetics professionals at a time when there are more than two million Americans living with limb loss and another 28 million people are at risk of amputation due to dramatic increases in vascular disease, obesity and other factors. The video focuses on the need for workers to take on roles in this growing health care sector. Century College is one of only a handful of schools in the country that trains students to take on roles as O&P technicians, assistants and clinical practitioners in prosthetics. To meet the demands of patients, the supply of credentialed orthotic and prosthetic professionals

1943 We are sad to hear of the passing of J. A. Reed, of the J. A. Reed Motor and Oil Co, of White Bear Lake on Tuesday, evening August 3rd. Several days ago he underwent an operation for abdominal trouble. Due to his advanced age and weak condition he was unable to overcome the shock and gradually the light of life flickered out. The passing of J. A. Reed is a distinct loss to White Bear and this community….A crew of men from the state Conservation Department lowered the 12th street weir Wednesday. This is to lower the lake level one foot below the present gauge….

Foundation seeks grant applications The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation is pleased to announce its 2018 round of grant-making.

From Aug. 6-Oct.5, 2018, the foundation will accept online applications from the community for programs and projects that respond to community needs and that align with the foundation’s mission to inspire philanthropy and to enrich the lives of people in the communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake (Birchwood Village, Dellwood, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake and White Bear Township).

The foundation is interested in hearing from community groups what they see as needs or opportunities and how they propose addressing them. At least $35,000 will be available and, in general, grant awards will range from $1,000 to $5,000. New this year are opportunities for funding from several field of interest funds: Conserving

our Environment, Girls in Science, and Social Justice.

Informational meetings for those interested in learning more about this grants program will be held at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 28 at White Bear Country Inn and 4:30 p.m.

Sept. 4 at Mahtomedi’s Wildwood Library. Information is also available on the foundation’s website: greaterwblfoundation.org.

In 2017, the foundation was able to award $32,000 in grants to 20 local organizations that represented a wide variety of fields of interest, including serving the senior population, preserving the environment, carrying out cultural and historical activities, caring for those in need, and providing educational opportunities. These grants, however, only made a small dent in the need; the 32 requests received by the foundation totaled more than $140,000.

Congratulations!

Heeding call of wild, she left corporate world to help people ‘get outside and play’

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Kerri Kolstad grew up on the lakes and rivers around Bemidji, and originally wanted to be a park ranger, but she wound up in the corporate world instead.

The White Bear Lake resident made a pretty good living, too, for 20 years, working for Hewlett Packard and then Dell, selling systems to health service groups such as Mayo Clinic and Health Partners.

But the call of the wild was always in the back of her mind, and Kolstad had an epiphany after getting to know the man she would marry, Dave Kolstad, a mechanical engineer and outdoorsman at heart like her. They met at a state park while he was pursuing his goal of hiking every one in Minnesota.

“We both had corporate jobs, and found ourselves living in hotels and airports, and never got outside,” said Kolstad. “I decided I was done with corporate America. I had to do something I was more passionate about.”

Thus was born their joint venture Wahoo Adventures, 10 years ago in October.

Wahoo’s motto is “Get outside and play,” which is what her mother used to tell the kids when she wanted them out of the house.

Wahoo offers biking, kayaking, and snowshoeing, and handles birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, and corporate outings. Companies get their people on lakes and trails to paddle, chat, and just get out of the office. The Kolstads serve as guides, porters, entertainment committee and support staff, coordinating all the details and logistics.

Kerri handles most of the guiding and instruction. Dave continues his corporate job while serving as Wahoo’s chef, along with lugging gear around. A third partner is their pooch Addy, who avoids the water but loves to accompany them in the kayaks.

WAHOO ADVENTURES | SUBMITTED

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Kerri Kolstad of Wahoo Adventures posed with a fleet of kayaks after leading a recent excursion at Sunfish Lake Park in Ramsey.

It’s an ideal gig for a pair of adventurers who together have summited Mount Kilimanjaro (2006), scuba-dived the Great Barrier Reef (2003), hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (2013), and hiked and biked in Patagonia/Chile (2018).

Their biggest excursion is the sixth annual Lumberjacks and Loons, which started Sunday (Aug. 5). Trekkers from six states are signed up: Texas, Colorado, Arizona, South Carolina, Washington and Minnesota. They’ll bicycle along the Great River Road/Mississippi River Trail to Bemidji, Walker, Chippewa National Forest, and Schoolcraft State Park, and cap it off at Forest History Center in Grand Rapids, reenacting the day in the life of a lumberjack in a lumber camp.

In Kolstad’s childhood, every school year ended with a class trip to Itasca State Park. “At the time, you didn’t realize how cool it was to be at the headwaters of a big river that goes all the way to New Orleans,” she reflects. “Now a lot of

my routes center around Itasca.”

In planning the business, she conducted several focus group studies. One thing she found was that older people have fewer grandchildren now than when she grew up, and wanted one-on-one time with the kids outdoors. “My own grandmother had so many grandchildren that she couldn’t do that,” she said.

They got started working with community education departments, augmenting what the cities offered by supplying their mentoring skills and equipment. Then the business grew largely from word of mouth.

Kolstad, 57, extols the virtues of “eco-therapy” to her adventurers.

“People are always watching a screen, their TV, their cell phone, their iPad, and not involved in what is going on around them,” she explained. “Out here on the water, you see the squirrels, you see the fish, you notice the sounds, and the wind changing, and you can’t believe how

relaxing it is.”

They started Wahoo Adventures during a downturn in the economy due to the troubled housing market in 2008, which actually gave their venture a boost. People who would normally spend big on vacations were opting for “stay-cations” instead. “The great state of Minnesota has a lot to offer,” she said.

One example of Wahoo’s services is the Park–n-Play Day of Outdoor Experiences in conjunction with Oakdale’s Parks and Rec and community education departments, held in May. Kolstad taught classes summer bike maintenance and trail riding, and getting close to nature in a kayak.

Asked about what kind of individual calls upon them, she stated, “A lot of people don't have a kayak or don't have a bike that works or need lessons or just want someone to hand-hold them. They might not have the gear or can't throw it on their car or trailer. It's nice to know that if a thunderstorm happens or the weather is bad, someone is looking out for you.”

Why is sand so scary?

If you asked the average golfer what shot they dread the most, it’s the greenside bunker shot. If you understand how the club works, and match that with a good set up, you’re well on Tee Time your way to hitting this shot successfully.

Betsy Larey The sand wedge is the only club where the trailing edge is higher than the leading edge. And yes, you need a sand wedge to hit this shot. This design allows the club to slide into the sand rather than dig straight down into it.

Most players who have difficulty in the sand do two things: let the leading edge of the club lead, and decelerate through the shot. The deceleration is caused by the leading edge digging in first.

You can specify loft and bounce when you buy Titleist and Cleveland wedges.

For most players in the Midwest, a 56 degree loft, with a 10 degree bounce is sufficient. The bounce is nothing more than the angle of the sole against the ground at address. The goal in hitting a successful bunker shot is to have the trailing edge enter the sand before the leading edge of the club.

The most common bunker technique is to open your stance, play the ball forward with the face of the club wide open and swing outside to in along the stance line.

This works for many players, but I have a different method that I have had great success in teaching over the years.

First, set up square to the target line with the face of the sand wedge slightly open. Remember; open the face before you get your grip. You want “soft hands” when you hit this shot. This helps the clubhead glide through the sand. The shaft should be even or slightly behind the ball, never in front. Allow your feet to grind down into the sand so you stay stable during the backswing. I like to splay my feet with a little wider stance.

You want your shoulders level, with your weight on your left side. If you do this correctly, your spine will actually be tilting slightly towards the target. Relax your left elbow at address and this will level your shoulders. The spine tilt left prevents you from dropping your right shoulder through impact and making the club dig into the sand. Your knees will bow slightly, almost like you’re sitting in a chair. Keep your ball position towards your front foot.

Now here’s what’s really different about this shot — set up with your hands slightly back behind the ball. I admit this is very different than what you’re used to, but what this does is increase the effective loft of the club dramatically, and fully exposes the bounce. You’re able to

set up square to the target line and aim exactly where you want to hit it, without opening your stance and clubface and having to make that rough calculation for a lot of sidespin. In my opinion, that’s the hardest part of using the traditional bunker method.

The swing is a very narrow swing, which means the elbows stay soft and the hands remain close to the body. You’re essentially picking up the clubhead with your wrists and hands, while keeping your hands close to your waist. This shot is way more wrists and hands than arms.

The goal is to add speed on the clubhead end without adding speed on the grip end. It should feel like snapping a towel.

Your right elbow slides back along your side as you turn your hips. Remember, you need to keep your weight on the left side during the backswing. From there, you simply throw the clubhead down and allow the bounce of the club to slide through the sand to get the ball up and out. You enter the sand anywhere from 1-2 inches behind the ball. This will depend on what type of sand you’re in, and how far you want the ball to travel. After impact, the right palm is still facing up towards the sky. Finish with your chest facing the target, up on your right toe.

Hitting down on it with speed is what makes the ball go up in the air. To hit a high shot with a lot of spin, simply hit closer to the ball with more acceleration.

If you have a longer bunker shot, you simply add more arm swing, or hit a 52 degree wedge instead of a 56 or 58.

The one mistake I see players make is this – they pull with the grip end instead of throwing the clubhead through the sand. That shot is not coming out of the bunker. You have to let the bounce of the sand wedge work its magic and I think this method is by far the easiest way to do just that.

So the keys to hitting this version of the greenside bunker are correct set up — soft hands and elbows — swing is more wrist action than arms, which makes the swing a lot steeper— clubface slides under the ball, using the bounce to enter the sand first—finish with your chest facing the target, up on your right toe.

The best way to practice is by drawing a line in the sand about 1 inch behind the ball. Lay the bounce of the club on that line. Make the swing, and see where the club entered the sand. If it’s behind that line, you’re not swinging down steeply enough. Keep practicing, and you’ll get it. Unless you are playing in a league, I would draw that line and lay your club in it every time until you can execute this shot on demand.

I highly recommend using a specific sand wedge, as opposed to a sand wedge that is part of your set. With Titleist Vokey wedges, you can specify the degree

of loft and the bounce you prefer. For firm sand (which is what you find most often in the Midwest) you want less bounce (around 10). For soft, fluffy sand (which you find in Florida and at high end courses everywhere) you are better off with more bounce (around 14). If you don’t want to order a new one, check with Second Swing. They usually have a pretty good selection to choose from.

Students complete summer internship with local manufacturers A class of eight White Bear Lake High School manufacturing pathways students was honored for the successful completion of their paid summer internships with eight northeast metro manufacturing firms last month.

Students were closely supervised and mentored in a wide variety of manufacturing components that complemented, in some respects, their high school classes, including: CAD design and programming, machining, milling electrodes, injection molding, 3-D printing, basic engineering, quality control, CNC manufacturing, laser technology in food packaging and warehouse organization.

Seniors who participated were Kyle Anderson, Taylor Nelson, Jack Pendergast, Bela Larsen, Talley Kohler, Stella Cotner, Grant Unger and Carl Swanson. They detailed their individual hands-on, skills-based experiences at the production facilities of local manufacturers Schwing America, Mold Craft, The Specialty Mfg. Co., Renstrom Dental Studios, Pace Industries, LasX, Superior Machine and Teamvantage.

Schwing, Mold Craft and Specialty Mfg. were returning industry partners from the inaugural GenZ Connections program last year.

Mold Craft — another 2018 financial investor, in addition to Comcast and Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) — made funds available through a grant from the American Mold Builders Association (AMBA). The White Bear Lake Area Education Foundation provided funding for steel-toed work boots for all student participants.

According to Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, the importance of the program warranted “a quick fix” that was also aided by the Minnesota Department of Education and the Department of Labor and Industry. Ramsey County also ensured the students would be paid for their 90-hour, four-week internships.

White Bear Lake Area Schools (WBLAS) Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak recognized the value of partnership with VHEDC’s Workforce Development/GenZ Connection program which has created opportunities

that allow for dialogue, tours, internships, presentations and connections with businesses that “promise great futures for our students.”

WBLAS Manufacturing Career Pathways Navigator Jeremy Kerg praised the students’ work ethic and enthusiasm for exploring new careers, noting the importance of developing a skilled workforce for local businesses now and in the future. Also noteworthy, Kerg explained, was how this year’s class benefited from an online OSHA 10 training course. The 10-hour course provides general awareness on primary safety and health matters and is highly valued by employers.

VHEDC Executive Director Ling Becker thanked valuable partners and sponsors. “Supporting and promoting partnerships between schools and industries aligns directly with VHEDC’s mission and vision, and we are so very grateful to Comcast, Mold Craft and other industry and community partners who make the GenZ program possible,” she said.

“STEM education, as we know it, is changing rapidly.

Employers are recognizing the need to get a pipeline of workers faster and are leaning increasingly on twoyear and technical degrees rather than just four-year programs. Employers are committed to training their employees on the job in more of a “learn and earn” model. The GenZ Connections program helps students get paid work experience and OSHA 10 training. This program is absolutely crucial to growing a strong and sustainable manufacturing workforce in the northeast metro area.”

In January, VHEDC received the Partnership Award by the Economic Development Association of Minnesota (EDAM) for GenZ Connection. One of the program’s partners, Ramsey County, was instrumental in facilitating changes to Minnesota Child Labor Laws that prohibited individuals under the age of 18 from working on a manufacturing floor with the type of machinery used by the industry partners.

Tria restaurant welcomes new chef

BY JANICE COLLOVA PRESS INTERN

Jason Cole loved to travel as a corporate chef, but he often traveled 3 to 4 weeks a month and was only home on weekends. As his family grew, he realized it was time to settle down and work locally. “I don’t want to miss time with my kids, my family,” he said.

So he, his wife and their two children moved to Stillwater Township when he learned about an opening at Tria Restaurant and Bar in North Oaks. The restaurant proved to be a great fit for him and he started cooking there just two and a half months ago.

Cole comes to Tria at a time of change. The restaurant’s burgundy furniture was recently replaced by a deep sea blue, and the lighting was adjusted to be more photo-friendly.

Gradual changes are also being made to the menu.

“We’re trying to change [our menu] to the way people are eating now,” Cole explains, adding that our food culture has become more health-conscious. Still, Cole emphasized that the fl avors and colors to the menu will be “vibrant.” “Lots of cool things are coming our way.”

Growing up, Cole enjoyed cooking with his family. When he was 15, his brother worked at a restaurant and invited Cole to join him when the restaurant needed more staff.

“Once I got in the kitchen,” he recalled, “I loved the vibe, I loved the people, the energy.” As time progressed, it simply felt right for him to be there. When the time came for him to decide what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, instead of going to college, he went to culinary school.

Cole noted that a lot of people in the food industry say that culinary school is a waste of time. However, Cole learned a lot. He graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in the Twin Cities in 2001 at the top of his class.

As he traveled the country with Restaurant Unlimited Co. and then Landry’s Inc., the learning did not stop. He recalled particularly when

he was in New Orleans and studied under Susan Spicer, who has received America’s top recognition for chefs, the James Beard Award.

Over the years, he hasn’t kept all this culinary wisdom to himself.

One thing he loves about being a chef is “developing cooks:” mentoring the next generation of chefs. He hopes that any new chef will go on to be great in their own right.

Cole continually emphasizes that running a restaurant is hard work.

Yet, the idea of creating a “fi nal reward” the moment he steps into the kitchen encourages him. He seems to have every intention to carry that mindset through his time at Tria.

Primary election next Tuesday The primary election is Aug. 14 for several state and federal offices, including U.S. Senate, U.S. Senate special election, U.S. Rep. District 4 and 6, governor and lieutenant governor, attorney general and Washington County commissioner for District 2.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

In White Bear Lake, polling places are as follows: Ward 1 – City Hall; Ward 2 – Ramsey County Library; Ward 3 – Sunrise Middle School; Ward 4 – Golfview Building and Ward 5 – St. Stephen's Lutheran Church.

The city of Mahtomedi has two polling places: Precinct 1 voters go to the District Education Center; Precinct 2 voting is in the sanctuary at St. Andrew's Church.

White Bear Township polling places are Precinct No. 1 – Otter Lake Elementary; No. 2 – Eagle Brook Church; No. 3 – South Shore Trinity Lutheran Church and No. 4 – Heritage Hall.

Polling places are also listed on community websites.

Don’t let swimmer’s itch scratch out summer fun

BY GRETCHEN NEEDHAM NORTH OAKS NEWS EDITOR

On a hot, humid summer day, the waters of our local lakes look cool and inviting. But a quick dip to beat the heat may come at a price: many of Minnesota’s watering holes are hotbeds for a pesky parasite that leaves swimmers anything but refreshed.

Swimmer’s itch, also known as “duck itch” or “lake itch,” is the common term for cercarial dermatitis, a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to parasites stemming from aquatic birds and mammals.

How these pests get from the animal community to under our skin (literally), is a complex journey.

Swimmer’s itch life cycle The parasite’s trek begins with infected animals — usually ducks, geese and swans, as well as muskrats and beavers. The parasite produces eggs that are shed with the animals’ droppings into the lake water. Those hatching eggs transform into larvae that seek out aquatic snails for the next phase of their life cycle. The infected snails now release the parasite into the water in the form of free-swimming cercariae (from the Greek kerkos, “tail”), that are looking for waterfowl once again. The cercariae burrow into the skin of their host, not caring whether it is duck skin or human skin, in order to enter the animal’s bloodstream and begin the life cycle anew. Luckily for us, the larvae cannot develop inside humans and soon die. But not before leaving behind red patches in the form of an itchy rash.

The swimmer’s itch-causing cercariae are transparent and only about 0.7 mm (1/32 inch) long, so they are essentially undetectable with the naked eye. How are swimmers to protect themselves from these minuscule attackers?

Treating water with copper sulfate

City and county officials may take steps to treat lakes if they’ve received complaints of swimmer’s itch. When added to the water, copper sulfate kills snails, thus reducing that needed link in the parasite’s life cycle. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires permits for this type of chemical application, and it limits the amount of permits it will

grant per season and per beach. The use of copper sulfate is by no means a “silver bullet” or cure for swimmer’s itch for many reasons. First, the compound will only kill the snails present at the time of the application; any snails that enter the area afterward will not be affected and can easily become infected by the cercariae alive and swimming in the water. Second, there is some evidence that snails may be capable of developing resistance to copper sulfate, which would limit the effectiveness of the treatment. And since copper is a toxic heavy metal, longterm, heavy applications of copper sulfate can pose a signifi cant threat to the health of aquatic environments.

Keep it deep and windy, if you can

Two tactics you can take to avoid swimmer’s itch are to swim in deeper areas, not the shallows near shore (where cercariae tend to congregate) and swim where there is an offshore breeze; cercariae are weak swimmers and have trouble attaching to hosts while being blown about by the wind.

Of course, if you’re hanging out with toddlers and babies by the beach, in waist-deep or shallower water, you certainly don’t have the luxury of escaping to deep and windy water.

SUBMITTED

Cercariae of Austrobilharzia variglandis, which can cause cercarial dermatitis. Note the forked “tail” and a pair of “eye spots” near the anterior end (right).

Preventative measures

The DNR recommends taking these precautions to help reduce the odds of getting swimmer's itch: • Keep waterfowl away from your dock and shoreline. If you are feeding waterfowl (ducks and geese) from your dock, stop!

• Apply a water repellant substance such as petroleum jelly, waterproof sunscreen or other skin oils to reduce the ability of the cercariae to penetrate the skin.

• Dry off with a towel as soon as you get out of the water. When you get out of the lake, don't let the water evaporate off your skin. The organism in the droplets of water on your skin will look for somewhere to go as the droplet of water evaporates.

Take these precautions whether or not the lake you are entering has been treated recently with copper sulfate; the application of that compound is not a panacea.

The life cycle of the parasite begins most often with ducks or geese, who host the worms.

The worms’ eggs travel through the waterfowl droppings into the lake water, where they hatch and seek out snails. The parasite then transforms into free-swimming creatures called cercariae, who are not particular as to which host they penetrate the skin of: duck, goose or unlucky human.

The faces of wetlands: Great egrets This common member of the heron family is easily spotted along lake shores or flying above wetlands.

With a dash of bright white and a slow but powerful wing beat, seeing egrets brings a sense of serenity.

Folklore and myth from Egyptian, Celtic, and Native American traditions associate egrets with harmony, balance, diplomacy, patience, and purity. When water in ancient times was closely tied to food and well-being, it makes sense that people would pay close attention to the animals of marshes, rivers, and lakes.

These observations brought inspiration and taught us how to adapt to challenges.

The same theme extends to our present day here in North America, but with a modern twist.

In the late 19th century, the fashion industry prized egrets. Hats adorned with egret feathers were highly sought for their elegance and striking appeal. A top-of-the-line hat would feature the long plumes that grow from the male egret’s back during the breeding season. As the market sold feathers throughout the United States and even Europe, hunters decimated about 95 percent of their population. For the fashion industry, it was a lesson in balance learned the hard way. For wildlife enthusiasts, it was a lesson in how to balance natural resources before a near extinction.

The Audubon Society was founded in 1905 to protect birds like the Great Egret from being killed for its feathers, which is why a Great Egret is their symbol to this day. Continuing the effort, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 granted protection to bird feathers, eggs, and nests to over 800 species of non-game birds.

Similar to Blue Herons, Great Egrets nest communally in trees and shrubs along marshes and shallow lakes. Nests can be up to 3 feet across and 1 foot deep.

They’re started by the male before pairing with a female, and if the courtship display goes well, the female may join in to help complete the nest. Baby egrets can be aggressive and sometimes harm or even kill each other in competition for food, but this instinct also serves to ward off predators.

The Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) watershed with its shallow lakes and wetlands has lots of habitat for egrets. Our marshes are great for hunting fish, amphibians, reptiles, snails, small mammals, and invertebrates such as dragonflies. With their long legs and tall, slender neck, egrets can hunt in water as deep as their belly.

They slowly wade or stay still until prey wanders into striking range.

While ancient folklore may no longer be our focus,

NICK VOSS | SUBMITTED

The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization does a series on creatures and plants in the watershed, including one on egrets. A member of the heron family, the white bird is a common wetland inhabitant.

there’s still something inspiring about Great Egrets.

Spotting one traversing a wetland with its sturdy legs, bright feathers, and expert sense of balance is a nice personal reminder to be patient, seek balance, and adapt to new challenges that always have a way of popping up. Sometimes these small, everyday reminders are the most powerful way to find harmony.

Considering the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the efforts made for bird protection, this harmony applies to humans and egrets alike.

Here in VLAWMO, Great Egrets can be found on

just about any lakeshore. But for the best chances of spotting one, check out the Rotary Park Nature Preserve near Birch Lake, Tamarack Nature Center, or West Vadnais Lake off of the Vadnais/Sucker Lake walking path.

To help take care of the egrets in our watershed, visit VLAWMO.org/get-involved to learn more about low-impact lawn care and adopting a storm drain.

Retired engineer has trains in his blood

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM THE CITIZEN EDITOR

After a 43-year career driving trains, a local engineer says trains “are in his blood.”

Bruce Lemay, a longtime resident of Hugo, made his final trip with Amtrak and retired on July 10. Lemay is a third-generation “train guy.” His grandpa was a traveling storekeeper and his father was a floorman in the car department for Milwaukee Railroad.

“It gets in your blood. I really enjoyed operating the trains and having the opportunity to train people and make a difference in their lives,” he said. “I honestly enjoyed my job and the people I worked with. Up until my last day, I enjoyed it.”

Despite that both his grandfather and father worked in the industry, Lemay was not always convinced that his career would involve trains. He started working for Burlington Northern doing section work in the summer of 1973 and began working with his dad at Milwaukee Railroad in the summer of 1974.

In 1975, he attended St. Cloud Technical College to pursue a two-year degree in business administration. “Once I realized I could have a long-lasting career with the railroad, I was all in,” Lemay said.

He became a brakeman/conductor for Milwaukee Railroad and four years later became an engineer, driving from St. Paul to Duluth. In 1987 he switched over to Amtrak, where he worked until he retired. In the beginning of his career, he did trips from St. Cloud to Milwaukee and in his later years he travelled from St. Cloud to Winona and from St. Cloud to Minot, North Dakota.

Why did he switch from Milwaukee Railroad to Amtrak? “Would you rather

SUBMITTED

Longtime Hugo resident Bruce Lemay made his last trip with Amtrak in July. Lemay had a 43-year career in the train industry.

Bruce Lemay was a part of a team that drove a steam locomotive train sponsored by the Friends of the 261 from Minneapolis to Lacrosse, Wisconsin and Minneapolis to Duluth in 2012.

drive a pickup truck, or a sports car?” he asked.

While at the Milwaukee Railroad, Lemay drove trains that were around 120 cars in length and traveled 50-60 mph.

The trains carried freight such as coal, oil and automobiles. While at Amtrak, he drove a train that had 11 cars and was responsible for safely transporting 350-400 people at 79 mph.

One thing that held true for both jobs: Lemay had to know all of the rules. Each of the different rails have their own handbook. Many of Lemay's co-workers referred to him as an “encyclopedia” and sought advice/rule interpretations from him.

“I took a lot of pride in having people come to me and having the confidence in me to give them the right answers,” he said. “I really prided myself on proper train handling. That was important to me, to get them there safe and follow the rules.”

Even though Lemay loved the job, he had to make a lot of sacrifices.

“It is very demanding on your home/

family life,” he explained. Often Lemay had to work over 55 hours a week and was away from home over 80 hours a week. When he was home, he was often sleeping to get ready for the next trip.

Lemay and his wife Mary have been married for 36 years and have two sons, Brian and Matt, both White Bear grads.

In addition, the job can be dangerous. In his 43 years on the job, he was involved in 30 crossing accidents, most of which he said were simply a result of someone not paying attention. Out of those 30 incidents, there were two fatalities.

Lemay recalled one incident about 25 years ago where he saw his life flash before his eyes. A semi-truck carrying 80,000 pounds of wood jackknifed on the track. Lemay ended up hitting the semi at 80 mph.

“That was the first time in my career where I thought, ‘It’s over,’” he said. “I curled up in a ball on the floor. My life passed in front of me when that happened.”

Lemay received a safety award for how

he handled that situation along with many others over the years.

What finally pushed Lemay to retire was the birth of his first grandchild.

With all of his newfound free time, Lemay plans to make many visits to Florida to see his new grandson and spend time at their RV park on Rush Lake.

The past weekend got off to a wet start with a round of storms early on Friday, then a round of heavier storms Friday evening. The storms Friday morning had some small hail but it was the storms Friday evening that proved to be a little more interesting, as they were accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and lightning. A local tree took a direct hit from a lightning bolt and was left shattered, with portions taking out the side of the home. In all, I totaled over an inch of rain. The rains Saturday held off just long enough for the Strive 5K/10k to take place along White Bear Lake. Saturday evening and Sunday were dry and outdoor activities returned to normal. Nature Note: I witnessed about 20 turkeys do their evening roosting routine, flying 30 feet into the limbs of trees in…of all places, Nord’east Minneapolis.
