 An old barn on property in the Big Marine Park Reserve in Scandia burned to the ground early Friday morning. The fire was reported to Scandia Fire & Rescue at 7:15. The barn was on property of the former Edstrom farm on Manning Trail that was purchased by Washington County for the regional park. Fire Chief Jim Finnegan said mutual aid was requested from Forest Lake Fire & Rescue and the Marine on St. Croix Fire Fire Department. A plow crew was needed to open the driveway to the fire scene which was roughly a half mile off the highway. The property is just north of 180th St. in Scandia and its border with May Township. Finnegan said the cause was not known. Scandia firefighters put out hot spots here. (Photo By Cliff Buchan)

 After 34 years of spending nearly every day with children, there is
little wonder that Jill Schmidt’s mind is filled with stories and ideas.
Schmidt, a Grade 3 teacher at Lino Lakes Elementary, last month pooled
many of those stories and ideas into a new children’s story book
published by AuthorHouse, Bloomington, IN. “Smiles Welcome” is a
two-year effort for Schmidt, 56, who is a native of Forest Lake and a
1971 high school graduate here.
