high level of physical fitness and mobility. If you’re unsure if a
program is right for you, please call Sandy at 651-744-3072.

Swede Hollow History Walking Tour 4
This walking tour will take you into what used to be known as
Swede Hollow, an early shanty town for poor immigrants on St.
Paul’s East Side. Now heavily forested, the deep ravine alongside
a babbling creek bed had originally opened into one of the most
sacred places for indigenous people below the white cliffs by the
Mississippi River. Over time, as European settlers moved in and
patched together small huts, it became the new city’s slum, tucked
well below and out of sight, filled with debris, garbage and filth.
Hear the stories as we explore this beautiful unexpected oasis
of nature and pause to imagine the past, the Hamm’s Brewery,
the mansions on the bluff, the railroads, the torching, and the
American Indians. Bring bottled water and dress for the weather.
Rain date is June 27. Must have your own transportation. Fee
includes refreshments. Ages 6 and up (youth under 15 must be
accompanied by an adult). Register by June 12.

of the program.
• Students are required to have their permit for six months,
complete six hours of Behind-the-Wheel instruction, complete

SUMMER 2015
ATTENTION PARENTS:
Effective January 1, 2015, every driver under the age of 18 who
completes behind-the-wheel instruction and is testing for a
provisional driver’s license must submit a driving log. Parents/
guardians have two options regarding the supervised driving log:
• Complete a supplemental parent/guardian class (see below)
provided by a driver education program approved in
Minnesota, and then submit a supervised driving log showing
their teen has completed at least 40 hours of supervised
driving, 15 of which are nighttime hours—OR
• If the parent/guardian chooses to not complete the
supplemental class, the driving log must show that their
teen has completed at least 50 hours of supervised driving,
15 of which are nighttime hours.
The driving log must be presented at the time of the road test
and be submitted with the application for the provisional license.
The supervised driving log is available for download at
www.commed.spps.org.
Parent/Guardian Awareness Class on
Teen Driver Safety
This free 90-minute class for the parents/guardians of teen drivers
is designed to increase parental awareness and involvement with
teen driving issues, to further reduce teen-involved traffic crashes,
injuries and fatalities, and to explain the Minnesota graduated
driver licensing process. Completion of this course allows the
parent/guardian to complete the 40-hour driving log instead of the
50-hour. A certificate of completion will be given to the adult at
the end of the class which will need to be turned in to the driver
exam staff at the time of the student's road test. The certificate is
valid for one teen; for subsequent teens from the same household
who complete a driver education program, another parent/
guardian class would be required. This class is free, but requires
registration.
