CENTERVILLE — It may not be coming this year, but it’s coming. Following a presentation at the Sept. 11 Centerville City Council meeting from Stantec Engineer Kellie Schlegel on the history of the city’s Downtown Street and Utility Improvement project, a public hearing was held. Council then passed a resolution ordering the improvements and authorizing preparation of plans and specifications. The project will install municipal water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, streets, curb and gutter and sidewalk improvements on downtown streets. Those streets include Centerville Road north of Main Street, Sorel Street west of Goiffon Road to Progress Road, Progress Road from Main Street to Heritage Street, Goiffon Road from Sorel Street to Heritage Street and Heritage Street from Centerville Road to the east of Progress Road. Because the city will impose assessments under Minnesota Statute Chapter 429, in which the properties benefiting from the improvements will be assessed for all or a portion of the costs, the city was required to solicit pubSEE STREETS, PAGE 16

Community newspaper readers more likely to be voters
Community newspapers are the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office, and community newspaper readers are more likely to be voters, according to a survey from the National Newspaper Association (NNA). The survey polled more than 1,000 people from urban and rural communities across the country and found that 85% of community newspaper readers said they are “very likely” to vote in upcoming elections, compared to 73% of non-readers. Respondents also rated community newspapers as the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office, whether on the local, state or federal level. On a scale of 1-10
(with “1” meaning completely untrustworthy and “10” being completely trustworthy), community newspapers received an average of 5.77 overall and an average of 6.23 among readers, the highest of all other information mediums. Ratings for other sources are as follows: • National network TV news – 5.13 • Cable TV news shows – 4.60 • Talk or satellite radio programs – 4.31 • Metropolitan newspapers that cover major cities and suburbs – 4.29 • Direct mailings from candidates and/or political parties – 3.73 • Facebook and/or Twitter – 2.92 “Overall, great news for local community newspapers,” NNA
Vice President Matt Adelman told PubAux. “(The results) show Facebook and even direct mail have far less impact and readership than the political consultants insist, especially on the trustworthy scale where our newspapers rank about even with national news programs, but far ahead of the rest of the pack.” The survey also found that 92% of community newspaper readers say that their local paper informs them and 64% said they share their paper with up to five other people. Of all survey respondents, 61% said that they turn to their local community newspaper for information about candidates running for public office.

Tipping points
W
hile our editors here at Press Publications establish guidelines and prepare for the 2019 local election, political analysts, prognosticators and pundits are already looking ahead toward the 2020 election. A recent article originating on “The Hill” website titled “The 10 counties that will decide the 2020 election” includes a county right here in our coverage area. Washington County is among a group of counties described in the article as critical tipping points across the country that will determine the outcome of the 2020 election. The other counties on the list are scattered from Maine to Arizona and include Erie County, Pennsylvania, Sauk County, Wisconsin, Muskegon County, Michigan, Maricopa County, Arizona, Tarrant County, Texas, New Hanover County, North Carolina, Peach County, Georgia, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, and Lincoln Angle of County, Maine. I’m personally not comfortable View getting my information from a news feed that has been curated Paul Dols by an algorithm, so I attempt to get my news and information from a variety of sources, including “The Hill.” According to Wikipedia, “The Hill” is an American political newspaper and website published in Washington, D.C. since 1994 with a mission of “nonpartisan reporting on the inner workings of Congress and the nexus of politics and business.” At Allsides.com, a website dedicated to displaying news stories from the Left, Center and Right of the political spectrum, as a way of exposing readers to information and ideas from a variety of sources, “The Hill” was given a “Center” rating on a Media Bias Ratings list comprised of 600 news outlets. Each news outlet is given a rating along a spectrum ranging from Left, Leaning Left, Center, Leaning Right to Right. This site is a pretty good place to gauge whether or not the sources you’re accessing for news are perpetuating a “filter bubble” by just reaffirming preexisting viewpoints. Dozens of strategists, political scientists and observers were interviewed for the story, written by Reid Wilson. Each county is given a brief historical overview along with key reasons it is viewed as a strategic indicator. According to the article, Minnesota is “one of a small number of states that voted for Clinton in 2016 that presents Trump with a chance to expand his map in 2020. If he wants to win here, he must carry Washington County, along the border with Wisconsin.” The county’s historic role as the birthplace of the state of Minnesota is briefly noted, along with its current blend of “rural roots and exurban sprawl.” Another characteristic that is noted about Washington County is that it is not firmly locked into an allegiance with one political party. “Washington County voted twice for George W. Bush, then twice for Obama. Clinton carried Washington County by just 1.8 percentage points, almost exactly the margin by which she carried Minnesota as a whole.” We don’t often get a viewpoint of a county in our own backyard from a national and politically strategic perspective. I’m speculating, but I believe that the fact voters in Washington County do not consistently vote along a straight party line indicates a high level of engagement and not simply voting based on past allegiances and habits. These key counties, including Washington here in Minnesota, are described as “diverse as the American electorate” and provide a snapshot of what the country looks like at this key moment in history. I hope, at a fundamental level, that we can reaffirm that we have much more in common with our neighbors than the exploited and sometimes magnified differences that threaten to divide and pull us apart.

Be a ‘Better Angel’ and bake muffins for those who disagree with you politically
A
t the end of June, I attended the Better Angels National Conference with a friend in St. Louis, Missouri. We had a great time learning more about the organization and how we can help heal the political divide in the USA. People from all 50 states attended the conference. Better Angels is a national nonprofit, non-partisan organization that helps all parties, but primarily Democrats and Republicans Wild Chow communicate better with one another, and Lisa find common Erickson ground. We learned a lot about talking across the political divide, depolarizing ourselves and how to participate in and lead a parliamentary debate. During our breaks, we ate at the best pizza place, Pi Pizza, walked to coffee shops and picked up my favorite foodie magazine “Feast,” which is only published in St Louis. Never in a million years would I think of St. Louis, Missouri as a foodie mecca, but it is. A few years ago, when I was visiting family, the magazine caught my eye. It’s a large 75-page,
full-color magazine, dedicated to the local food culture in St. Louis. There is a perfect balance of where to eat out, what to cook if you’re staying in and it highlights farmers or people who produce local food. After paging through, I’m always inspired to create new recipes and find my own local restaurants and farmers who I can connect with in our part of the Midwest. As the political scene starts to heat up, I will be ready. I have new tools to talk across party lines and if that fails—I have some pretty darn good savory muffins I can share. For more information about Better Angels or how to join, visit better-angels.org Better Angels Muffins Makes 12 muffins, serves 6 Adapted from Christy Augustin and Feast Magazine • 1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomatoes • 2 ¼ cups flour • 2 tsp baking powder • 1⁄2 tsp baking soda • 1 tbsp sugar • 3/4 tsp garlic salt • 1⁄4 tsp black pepper • 1⁄2 cup Blue cheese or cheddar cheese, grated • 3⁄4 cup Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped • 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream or yogurt • 1⁄3 cup oil • 1 egg, beaten In a bowl of hot water, soak the sun-dried tomatoes for 30 minutes; drain and pat dry with a paper towel. Chop into 1⁄4-inch pieces and set aside. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12cup muffin tin with baking cups or lightly spray with oil and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and soda, sugar, garlic salt and pepper. Add the cheese (reserving 1⁄2 cup Parmesan for the topping), 1/2 cup bacon (reserve remaining for the topping), basil and sun-dried tomatoes. In a small bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan and bacon; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, oil and the egg. Pour into dry ingredients; stir until just combined—do not over mix or the muffins will be tough. Portion batter evenly into muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan cheese and bacon on top of each muffin. Bake until tops are golden brown—about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with butter.

POLITICAL BRIEFS
Centerville should not exist
2019 Voters Guide coming soon
Centerville needs to join Lino Lakes. The reality of Centerville is that this city should not exist and should dissolve. Centerville ought to be annexed into Lino Lakes. We are surrounded by Lino Lakes. Centerville cannot, nor ever will, compete for business with Lino Lakes or Hugo. The city’s downtown redevelopment plan is a fantasy, a total waste of time and taxpayer money. Unfortunately, this city is not capable of independent thinking and many have a fear of not pleasing certain people in this city. Certain people in this city — some elected and a very few unelected — hold way too much sway. The people in Centerville know who these people are.
Look for Press Publications’ 2019 Voters Guide the first week in October. The guide is your one-stop resource for information about the candidates and issues you’ll see on the ballot this fall. Though local elections are often overshadowed by national ones, the decisions made by your mayors, city council members, school board members and county commissioners have just as much of an impact on your day-to-day life as those made by national officials — perhaps even more so — and as your community newspaper, that’s what we’re here to cover. We invited candidates running for local office to share more information about themselves and their priorities so you can be well-informed when you cast your vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Remember that in Minnesota, voters can cast their ballots early without having to provide a reason, so you can skip the lines on Election Day if you so desire. Early in-person is available through Monday, Nov. 4, at each county’s election office, where voters can also find applications to vote absentee by mail. For more information, visit sos.state.mn.us/ elections-voting.

Bob Merritt, who has lead Eagle Brook Church for 28 years, announced his plans to retire in March 2020. He will retire on his 63rd birthday, March 1. In his announcement to the congregation Sept. 22, he said, “It’s time for me to step aside and let younger people take over.” Merritt is not moving from his home in White Bear Township and plans to Bob Merritt continue to be part of the church. He prayed about when to retire for two years. “No one asked me to leave,” he said. “I plan to continue to live here in retirement after March 1, 2020. I may do some speaking, writing and take more time for my family.” He also hopes to spend more time outdoors and with his dog, Blue. Jason Strand, teaching pastor, plans to fi ll the senior leadership position. Merritt noted that Strand is an outstanding speaker, knows his Bible and has a wonderful wife and five children. Strand has already been recommended by the board and a church membership vote will be held Oct. 6, according to the church’s website. Eagle Brook is the eighth largest church in the nation, with eight campuses across the Twin Cities and a weekend attendance of about 28,000. The church’s Rochester location launches the end of October. Attendance was about 300 when Merritt began to pastor the church that began in White Bear Lake. “I deeply love this church. Outside of my family, leading this church has been the greatest honor of my life,” Merritt stated. “What you and I are witnessing right now, is nothing short than a miracle from God. Many weekends, I end up in tears by what happens here. God continues to bless us and he’s changing lives every week. Look at what God has done—and we’re just getting started.”

Public safety officials seek funding support for regional facility BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
BLAINE — Public safety representatives from across Anoka County pleaded their case for why the state should dedicate dollars to a proposed Greater Twin Cities Regional Public Safety Training Facility Sept. 4. The Minnesota House of Representatives Capital Investment Committee made a tour stop at the National Sports Center in Blaine, where they were greeted by police and fi re personnel from various departments, including the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) and cities including Blaine, Spring Lake Park, Mounds View, Fridley, Coon Rapids and Andover. “We are asking for funding for the design process to the tune of approximately $1.9 million. The design process will determine the business plan, the location, the scope of the project. This is our critical fi rst phase,” said Spring Lake Park Blaine Mounds View (SBM) Fire Chief Charlie Smith. Smith added that the concept has been discussed since 2013 but was brought up again in 2017 after a fi re training area in Fridley was demolished. Legislation has been introduced both in the Minnesota House (HF 773) and Senate (SF 1317) seeking state funding for the pre-design and design of a public safety training center. HF 773 is authored by Erin Koegel (District 37A) and Nolan West (District 37B), and companion bill SF 1317 was authored by Jerry Newton (District 37), Tom Bakk (District 3) and Ann Rest (District 45). The bill asks for the state to appropriate money for the regional public safety training facility in the city of Blaine or in a city adjoining Blaine and to authorize the sale and issuance of state bonds for the project. The project leads are the cities of Blaine, Coon Rapids and Andover along with the ACSO. In 2018, a stakeholder survey revealed that the proposal was supported by 21 agencies throughout the county. The Greater Twin Cities Regional Public Safety Training Facility would serve as a multidisciplinary training facility for agencies around the state and include training for law enforcement, fire and public works. In 2009, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety completed a public safety training facility needs assessment, which found that public safety personnel, especially volunteer-run services like fi re departments, are unwilling to travel for training. Furthermore, the report made a list of recommendations, which Smith said have guided the planning for the new regional facility. The concept is modeled from the Hero Center, a regional state-of-the-art training center for police, fi re and emergency management services (EMS).
“We are asking for funding for the design process to the tune of approximately $1.9 million. The design process will determine the business plan, the location, the scope of the project. This is our critical first phase.” Charlie Smith Spring Lake Park Blaine Mounds View (SBM) Fire Chief
The HERO Center is estimated to cost $20.5 million. The state of Minnesota provided $1.46 million for predesign and design of the building and an additional $9.5 million bonding appropriation to construct, furnish and equip the facility. The SUBMITTED South Washington County Telecommunications Commission and South Washington Watershed District also agreed to contribute funding for the project, and Cottage Grove and Woodbury agreed to split the remaining costs. Construction of the Hero Center began in fall of 2018 and should be complete this fall. Currently, there are only three multidisciplinary training facilities in Minnesota; the closest one is in Edina. Blaine Police Chief Brian Podany said most of the facilities are in the south metro and very few in the north metro, with the exception of a facility in Maple Grove. “We don’t have anything up here that is regional and multidiscipline. All the departments are kind of on their own for training; there is no consistent training area that is safe where we can do the operations that we need to do as far as police, fi re and EMS,” Smith said. Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart said the facility would bring another opportunity for improved efficiencies. “If you are sending fire service, a SWAT team and law enforcement to St. Cloud or other distant training centers, should something erupt within your community you are not able to respond,” he explained. “Just that alone for me, to know that we could actually have fullservice training capabilities closer so that we can continue to respond, is huge.” The ACSO does a lot of its tactile training at Camp Ripley near the city of Little Falls, which is over 90 miles from its home in Andover. In addition to expenses for gas and housing, often the ACSO has to pay overtime to cover shifts during the training, too.

Multi-Discipline Training
This map depicts all the law enforcement, fire, and multidisciplinary training facilities in the seven county metro area. Currently, there are only three multidisciplinary training facilities in Minnesota.
“Most agencies prefer to not go more than 16 miles for training,” Smith explained. “A lot of the existing facilities are at capacity or over capacity and booked up. We go wherever we can.” The location for the proposed facility is still up in the air, but Smith said it would be in Blaine or an adjacent area. One location under consideration is next to the ACSO, which would bring an opportunity to expand the single-use outdoor range to include other uses. Smith was clear the proposal will not move forward until the state is willing to invest some dollars into the design process. “Collaboration and efficiency. Those are two words that Anoka County Public Safety has embraced and already shown a track record of success. It is not like they are taking a chance with us ... they are making an investment in an area that is already committed to success stories. We really do do it right here,” Stuart said. “I’m involved in the National Sheriffs’ Association and the way we do business here isn’t done anywhere else, it just isn’t.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or citizennews@presspubs.com.

Washington County ‘not immune’ to violent crimes, drugs BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — After hearing an update from the Washington County Attorney and Assistant County Attorney, one thing is clear: violent crimes, drugs and sex trafficking are happening in Washington County, and they remain a top priority for the county attorney’s office. Washington County Attorney Pete Orput and Assistant County Attorney Imran Ali were keynote speakers at the Hugo Business Association’s breakfast Sept. 10 at the Blue Heron Grill in Hugo. “Part of my mission, and my office’s mission, is to do crime prevention — keep our seniors from getting ripped off by telemarketers, keep business owners protected when they are trying to run a business, (and preventing) fraud,” Orput said. “This is a great opportunity to share some highlights with you and what we are working on.” Things have been going pretty well, Orput said, but there are a few trends his office is currently seeing in the county. “There is a high degree of violent crime that we haven’t seen before. Currently I have five homicide cases in my office and that is a lot for Washington County,” Orput explained. “I have nine prosecutors handling a caseload of 200 felonies a year. We try around 50 trials a year, which for a county of our size and population, that’s a lot.” In addition to an increase in violent crimes, the county is experiencing the opioid crisis firsthand. Orput said he

currently has two opioid-related death cases sitting in his office. The county is trying to take a different approach when it comes to youth and drugs. “I get 400 young people a year coming in who are charged with felony drugs. I realized several years ago that we can’t jail our way out of this problem,” he said. “We have revamped the way we approach it. I can’t make 400 young people a year felons. Once they get that, there are consequences ... they can’t get jobs. We are offering diversion and treatment to those we see coming in.” Orput added that, “It has become a real issue. If we can get these people treatment, I have a strong feeling a lot of our property crimes are going to go way down because we are seeing a huge uptick in identity theft, mail theft, fraud. It is done mostly by those people who are trying to feed that monkey on their back.”
The opioid crisis is also causing an uptick in child protection cases. “When people get addicted to drugs, that becomes their number one, and their kids become second,” Orput said. Ali, who is the director of the East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force, talked about sex trafficking. He said when he first moved to Woodbury, he didn’t think he would see human trafficking. After handling his first case, which involved a three-time convicted sex offender who was pimping out a 16-year-old girl, he knew the problem was here. “That was shocking,” he said. A criminal analyst with the attorney’s office investigated a website, which is now shut down, where people could advertise for sex. “People could go on there, contact somebody and you could order pizza or a human being,” Ali said. The analyst wanted to find out how many ads were being posted to see

if human trafficking was a small or big problem in the metro. In two years, the criminal analyst looked at 196,000 ads in the Twin Cities metro area. “That is a staggering number, and we haven’t looked back since,” Ali said. “Those 196,000 ads were placed there for a reason, and that’s because there are people in our communities that purchase human beings for sex.” Ali recalled one of the task force’s undercover operations in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. “The day of the operation, I was talking to the prosecutors and police officers and they seemed somber. I asked them about it, and they said, ‘When you post this ad in the Twin Cities, you have thousands of people texting you. Down here, I don’t want it to be my father, my brother, my uncle,’” he said. During the bust, the town’s police chief was arrested for trying to purchase a 15-year-old girl. “In the past four years, we have arrested, investigated and convicted 38 pimps in Washington County,” Ali said. “We take down small-scale traffickers trafficking their girlfriend; we have international trafficking cases, domestic trafficking cases, with as little as one victim to as many as 34 victims.” Orput ended the presentation by inviting members of the public to share their ideas on public safety with his office. “I am all ears,” he said.

GOURDS Gourds are essentially ornamental squashes; they aren’t cultivated for eating. Instead they are bred to look beautiful and unique in autumn centerpieces. Types of gourds include autumn wing gourd, warted gourds, turban gourds, and bottle gourds. Each gourd is unique in its shape and color.
PUMPKINS Pumpkins come in ornamental and edible varieties. Even though all pumpkins can be consumed, some taste better than others. Small pumpkins tend to be decorative because, according to Nutritious Life, they do not have enough meat inside to make them worthy of cooking. However, sugar pumpkins are best for baking and cooking favorite recipes, states the resource Pumpkin Nook.

Halloween takes place during a time of year characterized by earthen-colored chrysanthemums, leaf-lined walkways and crisp autumn air. As colorful as the costumes children wear for trick-ortreating may be, nature’s beauty is unsurpassed this time of year, and the scores of pumpkins, gourds and squashes on display only add to that colorful melange.

Autumn is a prime time to tend lawns and gardens Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens.

Rake and compost Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. Plant spring bulbs Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year.
A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall: Pamper perennials As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they JHU IL LHZPS` PKLU[PÄLK SH[LY VU This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over.

Hugo applies for water efficiency grant program BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
HUGO — The city of Hugo is looking for one more way it can improve water efficiency. The City Council directed city staff to apply for a grant through the Metropolitan Council’s water efficiency grant program at its Sept. 16 meeting. “The goal of the water efficiency grant program is to support technical and behavioral changes that improve municipal water use efficiency,” said Emily Weber, the city’s Community Development assistant. The Met Council will implement a water efficiency grant program from Sept. 30 through June 30, 2022. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to municipalities that manage municipal water systems. The Met Council will provide 75% of the program cost, while the municipality must provide the remaining 25%. Grants will range from $2,000 to $50,000. The city of Hugo was one of 19 municipalities to participate in the Met Council’s previous water efficiency grant program from 2015-17. With the grant, the city was able to offer rebates to residents who purchased new WaterSense toilets, irrigation controllers and washing machines to replace inefficient products. This time around, the city is

Councilman Mike Miron said, “We know the biggest use of water in the city by far is irrigation. We have done a good job with new developments, and even some existing ones, to put in water reuse systems to help with that problem. I think this is also a good way to spread community ownership (of the issue) and what we are trying to do. It is another way of bringing some awareness to water conservation.

said. At the Aug. 14 meeting, Schlegel presented the feasibility report for the project, which council unanimously accepted. Engineers estimate that the entire project will cost $2.4 million. To break down the three parts of the project, full reconstruction of all the streets identified in the project will cost $1.6 million and be financed through assessments, bonds and the city’s street fund, which is part of the general fund. Water main improvements are expected to cost $500,000 and be financed
from Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) monies in which 100% of the residential water hookup costs will be covered. Other water main expenses will be financed through the water utility fund. Storm sewer improvements are expected to cost $340,000 and be financed through the storm sewer fund. Council also approved a proposal in the amount of $113,036 from Stantec to prepare the plans and specifications and to aid the city during the bidding process. Costs for the design and

bidding services will be covered by the water utility fund, general fund (street fund), stormwater utility fund and the grant. Next on the schedule for the project is council’s approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids. The city expects to receive bids by Dec. 4; project award will likely take place by Dec. 11. Construction is expected to begin by late spring or early summer 2020 and be mostly complete by fall 2020. The final pavement layer will be placed in early 2021.

CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its Sept. 11 meeting: • Heard an introduction from Craig Johnson, a candidate for the vacant District 6 seat on the Anoka County Board. Johnson hopes to fill the seat recently vacated by Rhonda Sivarajah, who served her constituents for more than 15 years. Only one item will be on the Nov. 5 primary ballot for Centerville, and that is the slate of six candidates vying for the open seat in District 6. A special election for the top two vote-getters will be held Feb. 11. The winner of the special election will need to run again in November 2020. • Authorized modifications to the existing 2010 parks capital loan from the sewer fund to provide for a zero percent interest rate from inception. Therefore, the loan principal of the interfund loan has been re-established at $1.1 million. This recommendation of city staff originated from a discussion held at the Aug. 28 council meeting. The reason for the change is that development in the community slowed significantly due to the 2010 recession, and park dedication revenues needed to pay off both principal and interest have been insufficient. • Conducted the first reading of two ordinances that dealt with rezoning certain properties from M-1 to M-2 and proposed

Cretin-DH’s big plays subdue Bears 28-13 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
White Bear Lake kept the pressure on unbeaten Cretin-Derham Hall throughout the game but the Raiders fended off the Bears 28-13, mainly via several breakaways by Tony Underwood, on Friday at the University of St. Thomas. “We had a few chances to take control and the lead but didn’t take advantage of them,” coach Ryan Bartlett said. “Credit to them (Raiders), though.They are long, athletic and fast.” Underwood dashed 85 yards to break a 7-7 tie late in the third period, then turned a short pass from Preston Thelemann into a 55-yard score early in the fourth to make it 21-7. He had opened the scoring with a 15-yard TD on another screen pass, and rushed for 191 yards on just 15 carries. The Bears closed the gap again with
Nate Laroache hauling in a 21-yard TD pass from Branden Berwald with 5:21 left. The kick was blocked. The Raiders answered with a long drive capped by Thelemann’s one-yard sneak for a 28-13 lead with 1:35 left. White Bear Lake (2-2) missed three chances to score in the first half. Two promising drives were foiled when the Raiders stopped fourth-and-one runs. Jeff Odamtten just missed a 36-yard field goal attempt with four seconds left. CDH mistakes helped keep the Bears in the game. The Raiders incurred 13 penalties for 110 yards. They went for a first down on a 4th-and-29 play from just over midfield in the third quarter while up 7-0, and lost yardage when a lateral was fumbled. That gave the Bears a short field and they capitalized with a 50-yard scoring drive. Cam Zaleski’s 20-yard run gave them a first down at the two. It still took four plays but Berwald burrowed the last

two feet on fourth down and Odamtten’s kick tied it 7-7. Zaleski carried 21 times for 93 yards. Berwald completed 11 of 23 for 114 yards, to seven receivers, with one interception. Brice Peters averaged 15.3 yards on four
punt returns, including a 33-yarder, and 22.3 yards on four kick returns. Odamtten made a 58-yard punt. The Bears will host East Ridge (2-2) in the Homecoming game on Friday.
WHITE BEAR SPORTS BRIEFS Bear girls nip Mustangs, cap 3-0 soccer week White Bear Lake girls soccer edged Mounds View 1-0 on Thursday, their third conference win in four days. “Mounds View has a quick and tenacious team, and their attacking pace with the ball really tested our team defense,” said Dave Ashley, Bears co-coach. “Our midfielders and defenders, along with goalkeeper Ella Janicki, all stepped up and earned the hard fought shutout.” Kayla Anderson scored the lone goal in the 15th minute off a cross from Anna Racine. The Bears (5-0 conference, 7-2-1 overall) beat Roseville Area 5-1 with goals by Anderson (two), Mackenzie Ternes, Nicole Moore, and Anna Racine, and Forest Lake 10-0 on goals by Anderson (three), Racine (two), Janicki, Lauren Eckerle, Abby Fettinger, Moore, and Maren Schoeberl. Haley Volcaty (two saves) made her varsity goalie debut.

Runners-up at Sibley volley tourney White Bear Lake volleyball had a 2-2-1 record at a Henry Sibley tournament on Saturday, placing second in the gold (top) bracket. The Bears (8-7-2) split with St. Paul Academy 20-25, 25-23; split with St. Cloud Tech 25-27, 25-20; beat Fridley 25-13, 25-22; beat Henry Sibley 25-23, 25-15; and lost to St. Paul Academy 25-13, 29-27. “Every player stepped up when their number was called and performed at a high level, driving us in to our highest finish at the Henry Sibley tournament in my time at White Bear,” said third-year coach Mike Alexander. On Thursday, East Ridge beat the Bears 25-8, 25-10, 25-10 in a conference match.

ALL SCHOOL REUNION: Chance to reminisce with students and teachers FROM PAGE 1
After receiving his master’s degree in physical education in 1970, Glover joined the White Bear faculty as an instructor in physical education and assistant coach in soccer, basketball and track. After 10 years as a teacher/coach at both White Bear and Mariner, Glover was asked to establish and teach one of the fi rst comprehensive adapted physical education programs in the state for all students in the White Bear Lake area. He remained in the district until his retirement from White Bear in 2000. He then went on to teach at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. In 1981, Glover was named Minnesota Teacher of the Year; in 1989, he was named the fi rst recipient of the Adapted Physical Education Teacher of the Year award. Frank Perpich started his teaching career at White Bear Lake High School in 1957. He was known for bringing the science of biology to life for his students and for his commitment to excellence. He also coached the Bears wrestling team with Joe Rukavina for eight years. Mork and Glover will be present to receive their awards and greet guests; however, Perpich is too frail to travel. “Please join us in honoring these teachers who gave so much to all of us and who went on to accomplish much, much more,� said Deb Acheson Berry, Class of ’71, secretary of the alumni association. “This is a great chance to visit and reminisce with fellow students and teachers while enjoying a selfguided tour of the building.� Berry added an interesting, it’s-a-smallworld, fact about Mork and Glover: They are from the same town in southern Minnesota. “Paul not only coached Don, but Don was also the fi rst babysitter for Paul’s kids. Really — what are the odds that the two chosen are tied this closely?� she said. Finally, Lin Lindbeck, alumni board member, will dedicate the Washington School bell. Lindbeck attended kindergarten through sixth grade at Washington School and graduated from White Bear High School in 1958.
The White Bear Lake High School building is now the District Center and Central Middle School, but from 1919 to the 1950s it was the first dedicated high school. The original building included just the section between the two stairwell bays that bookend the structure. Three uniform window sections occupied the entire façade, and “White Bear High Schoolâ€? was engraved across the top. The old school is part of this year’s White Bear Lake Area Historic House Tour on Sept. 29.

Homeowners invest large sums into improving their homes to make them more comfortable living spaces or to increase their odds of selling quickly. The Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University predicted U.S. spending on home renovations and repairs to peak at $327 billion in 2017. Whether one is doing a large renovation or a small remodel, life may be turned upside down during the project. Furniture may be moved out of the room, walls may be demolished, water or electricity may be turned off, and appliances may be missing or not hooked up. Home improvements often drum up dust and disarray. Such projects can try the patience of any homeowner, and things may get worse before they get better. Even though remodeling can be taxing, the end result is often worth it. Here’s how to look forward to the silver lining and come out unscathed. Discuss the project before it starts. All family members should be in agreement before the ďŹ rst hammer is swung. Decide on as many details as you can ahead of time and have a ďŹ rm plan in place. Establish back-up choices for tiles or color schemes in case the items you want are out of stock. Trying to make decisions under duress may result in bad choices. Do one project at a time. It’s tempting to want to improve as much as possible at once to
maximize motivation and renovation materials. However, having no place in which to escape the mess can elevate stress levels. Do not think about renovating kitchens and bathrooms all at once, or you will not have any working ďŹ xtures for tasks like washing up. Have everything in place ‌ Before demolition even begins, have building materials bought and stored, contractors and subcontractors lined up, and see what you can do to minimize the time workers need to spend in your home. ‌ but expect delays. In a world where things move at lightning speeds, renovations have not gotten the memo. Home projects take lots of time and will likely take longer if you are doing the work yourself in your free time. Build lots of extra time into the project so you are not disappointed when delays happen — even when you’ve done your best to avoid them. Plan an escape zone. Construction environments can be messy, loud, smelly, and a host of other unsavory adjectives. The chaos that ensues when life is turned upside down can be overwhelming, particularly for the person who spends the most time in the home while work is being done. Build escape moments into the plan and make sure everyone else at home is on board. During the real grind of the project, a night or two at a hotel may be a welcome respite.
