The Bear In Mind Book Club which is South Campus’s student run book club is proud to be a part of “White Bear Reads.” This is a "one book - one community" reading program for the White Bear Lake Area including White Bear, Vadnais Heights, Hugo and Centerville.

 This year's book is Tales of the Road: Highway 61 by Cathy Wurzer. Included are stories that range from the Outlaw Bridge at the Canadian border 

to La Crescent, the Apple Capital of Minnesota, on the southern Minnesota border.

 Ms. Wurzer is currently the host of Morning Edition on Minnesota Public Radio. She is also the co-host of Almanac, a weekly public affairs program produced by Twin Cities Public Television.

 The book is a companion piece to the documentary that aired on locally on public television. As part of “White Bear Reads” Shawn Gritzmacher’s film class is using the Highway 61 theme to produce documentaries. Cathy has made two visits to Mr.Gritzmacher’s class to talk about film techniques. Cathy’s videographer, Denny Behr gave students a wealth of tips to enhance the look of their presentations. On Cathy’s second visit, Lisa Blackstone discussed editing techniques to make their videos pop.    

 The Bear In Mind Book Club invites students to meet Cathy Wurzer and kickoff the White Bear Reads program at the library in White Bear Lake on February 2 at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served..
