Stillwater Restaurants Featured In List Of Best Patios In Twin Cities - Patch

STILLWATER, MN — Stillwater residents looking for a great restaurant patio to enjoy a meal and the start of summer don't have to travel far, according to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press.
Patios at many Stillwater restaurants were recently highlighted by the publication in its annual al fresco dining guide.
Leo's Grill & Malt Shop's renovated patio at 320 Chestnut St. E. in downtown Stillwater now features Gloria's To Go, a seasonal quick-serve operation, according to the publication. The patio was among 11 restaurants added to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press' 2022 guide.

Two Stillwater establishments were included among the best in the "Neighborhood" category in the annual guide.

Cozzie's Tavern & Grill, 11154 60th St. N., features a "multifaceted backyard oasis" that has a stone patio, wood deck, lawn area and a small spot for volleyball, Pioneer Press staff wrote, adding the "mini-Coney dogs from the casual menu are not to be missed."
The tiki-themed patio at The Tilted Tiki, 324 Main St. S., offers a dining setting complete with palm trees and thatched decor "with Polynesian cocktails and food to match," according to the Pioneer Press.

Four restaurants in Stillwater were named as some of the best patios in the guide's "Along the Water/Scenic" category, thanks to their locations along the St. Croix River.
Brick & Bourbon, 215 Main St. S., offers "bird's-eye views" of the river and the historic Lift Bridge, which makes "scoring a seat on this small rooftop deck worth your while," Pioneer Press staff wrote.
Papa's Rooftop at the Water Street Inn, 101 S. Water St., is Stillwater's "most expansive rooftop restaurant patio," with 160 seats, according to the guide.
The large patio features six gas fire pits alongside videos of the St. Croix River Valley, while Papa's has its own fare that's distinct from Charlie's Restaurant and Irish Pub, which is on the first floor of the Water Street Inn, the Pioneer Press wrote.

Charlie's is also featured in the annual al fresco dining guide for its patio.

"While each patio has a different vibe, they have one thing in common: spectacular vistas of the St. Croix River Valley and Lift Bridge," the Pioneer Press staff wrote of the two restaurants at the Water Street Inn.
The Dock Cafe, 425 Nelson St., has a patio "on the water's edge" with views of the river, Lift Bridge and valley, according to the guide. The restaurant is set to reopen soon under new management after closing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The patio at Feller, located at the "gorgeous boutique" Lora Hotel, lets guests "take in the city's charm," as well as the area's bluffs, the river and Main Street, the Pioneer Press wrote.

Freight House, 305 Water St. S., offers "one of downtown Stillwater's most popular and sizable patios," which features a main patio, a gazebo with a wrap-around bar and a beer garden, as well as bocce, according to the guide.

Astronauts may need to jump in space to fight bone loss - Space.com

By Brett Tingley published 1 July 22
A new study suggests that high-impact exercise could help limit bone loss while in space.
When astronauts spend extended periods of time in space, many surprising and sometimes harmful changes can occur in their bodies. Unfortunately, there aren't always ways to avoid or mitigate these effects. 
One such health concern is a loss in bone density and bone strength due to the effects of microgravity and, to a lesser extent, radiation exposure. A NASA-funded study in 2009 found that astronauts' bone strength decreased by at least 14% on average during a six-month stay in space. Other studies have found much higher rates of bone loss.
But a new study suggests that astronauts and mission planners could employ an effective weapon in the fight against bone-density loss: jumping and other forms of high-impact exercise.
Related: Landmark NASA twins study reveals space travel's effects on the human body
Out of the 17 astronauts who participated in the new study (opens in new tab), which was published online Thursday (June 30) in the journal Scientific Reports, only eight regained full bone mass density one year after returning from flight. Bone density loss was found to be much higher in astronauts who flew on missions longer than six months.
But the researchers also found that astronauts who engaged in resistance-based training while in space were able to recover bone mineral density after they returned. The authors thus propose adding  "jumping resistance-based exercise that provides high-impact dynamic loads on the legs" to astronauts' existing exercise routines to prevent bone loss and promote bone growth while on spaceflight missions.

"Jumping provides short bouts of high-impact, dynamic loads that promote osteogenesis [bone growth]," the researchers wrote, while adding that "neither running, cycling, squats, nor heel raise volume were associated with bone recovery." Adding jumping exercise routines to astronauts' existing exercise regimens may prevent bone loss and actually reduce the amount of exercise time needed each day, the authors suggest.
Of course, any new jumping regimen would require specialized equipment, and space is always limited aboard any spaceflight. "Successful implementation of high-load jump-training on-orbit will require an exercise device that mitigates forces transferred to the vehicle, along with an exercise regimen that accounts for astronaut deconditioning," the researchers wrote in the new study. The authors acknowledge that since living quarters are typically cramped aboard spaceflights, "exercise equipment will need to be optimized for a smaller footprint."

Obviously, a study size of 17 astronauts isn't exactly conclusive, and the authors note that much more data is needed before any firm conclusions can be drawn regarding the effects of resistance training on astronaut bone loss.  
Astronauts already engage in regular exercise while in space to combat the effects of microgravity, and scientists have already tried feeding astronauts genetically modified vegetables to help stimulate bone growth and fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids to help mitigate bone breakdown. With bone loss still plaguing astronauts on long flights, there is still a need for more methods to mitigate it.

Montrose Arts & Crafts Festival Returns for its 38th Year - Crescenta Valley Weekly

By CV Weekly on June 2, 2022No Comment
By Bethany BROWN
The Montrose Shopping Park Association (MSPA) will hold its annual Arts & Crafts Festival on Saturday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The weekend of festivities marks an official return to its “normal” schedule post pandemic. The Festival was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic and the date was moved several times in 2021, ultimately settling in October, which was the first (and only) time the Festival was scheduled in the fourth quarter of the year.
More than 250 artists, crafters, food vendors, California Certified Farmers, musicians and entertainers will make their way to Montrose with some vendors planning to come from as far away as Arizona and Mexico.
“We have vendors joining us from all over the place,” said Dale Dawson, MSPA event coordinator. “I’m really excited and know it will be a weekend full of great food, fun and shopping for everybody in our community.”
The Festival – celebrating its 38^th year – is free to attend and masks are not required at this time. Booths with a vast array of handmade crafts, jewelry, clothing, ceramics, fine art, leather goods, fresh flowers, produce and much more will stretch across the 2200, 2300 and 2400 blocks of Honolulu Avenue. The Montrose Harvest Market on Sunday will still take place and will be located on Ocean View Boulevard.
Dawson said in addition to the many vendor booths, there will also be a kids’ zone at the west end featuring an expanded petting zoo, bungee jumpers and inflatables of various kinds. In the center of the Festival, at the Ocean View/Honolulu intersection, there will be an international food court with seating as well as a wine and beer garden to enjoy. He stressed that there really is something for everybody, and it’s an event one surely does not want to miss.
Live music will also be available for attendees’ further enjoyment, featuring three bands over the two-day period. Saturday will open with The Ploughboys and will close with The Mojo Filter Blues Band that evening. Sunday morning will open with a Beatles tribute band called Ticket to Ride and The Ploughboys will return to close Sunday evening.
“Some things only come once a year, like Thanksgiving and Christmas and the Montrose Arts & Crafts Festival,” Dawson said. “This is our once-a-year mega invitation to shop Montrose and to have a great time while supporting local small businesses.”
