Special Teams founder receives police commendation

Back To School

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

White Bear’s own Jeff Loeks, founder of Special Teams Charities, will be recognized by the St. Paul Police Department with an Award for Valor commendation.

A Sept. 14 ceremony will recognize Loeks, who works security at Region’s Hospital, for heroic actions that went “above and CONTRIBUTED beyond.”

Jeff Loeks In a letter to Loeks, St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry commended the former Army Ranger and firefighter for helping a police officer who was working contractual overtime at the hospital. After a report of a person flashing a gun at people inside the hospital last March, the officer identified and approached the suspect. Almost immediately, the officer met resistance and a fight ensued. That’s when Loeks “unselfishly jumped onto the suspect without hesitation to help the officer and pinned him to the ground until backup arrived.”

Due to Loeks’ quick actions, officers were able to successfully control and safely retrieve the firearm from the suspect.

The chief recognized Loeks for his “quick and unselfish actions” that not only prevented a potential officer-involved shooting, but “courageously jeopardized your own safety for the safety of others.”

His heroic actions are deserving of the Chief’s Award for Valor, Henry said.

The humble Army veteran emailed the Press, noting the St. Paul department encouraged him to contact his local newspaper, telling him it was something to be proud of. “I hope it doesn’t seem ostentatious,” Loeks wrote in the email. “The only reason I care is because I get to support my friends in law enforcement who are a big part of our charity.”

The township resident founded Special Teams Charities more than a decade ago to support workers in health care, law enforcement, fire EMS and the military. The charitable causes have been many, and are often featured on the pages of the Press. Most recently, the charity collected cash donations for wounded White Bear Lake Police Officer Ryan Sheak and his family, filling requests to buy flowers and gift cards and providing meals for officers keeping vigil at the hospital or working long hours at the station.

Press Publications is hosting its annual senior health fair from 12-2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13, at the White Bear Senior Center, 2484 East County Road F in White Bear Lake.

The health fair will offer a variety of resources geared toward seniors and caretakers of seniors.

“If you’re a senior or a child of a senior parent and looking for resources, this is a great venue for you,” Press Publications General Manager Patty Steele said.

Steele sees the health fair as an easy way to collect information about senior care.

“By having everything seniors need under one roof, seniors and their caregivers don’t have to spend time making long phone calls or trying to navigate a website,” Steele said. “With every vendor ready to answer questions, seniors can have a face-to-face interaction and get their personalized questions answered.”

The health fair lunch is provided by

Pizza Man, Donatelli’s, Jimmy Johns and Pine Tree Orchard.

The Press health fair stands out because it covers health in a broader sense than just one’s physical health.

With vendors from real estate companies and financial planning services, seniors can take care of all aspects of their health.

While at the fair, anyone can get their flu shot provided by Walgreens.

To get a booster, attendees must have their vaccination cards with them.

Immunizations don’t require an appointment, and seniors can walk up to the booth and take care of their needed vaccinations.

Gary LaRue will emcee the event, singing some of his well-known songs and announcing vendors at the fair.

“It’s great to have Gary there,” Steele said. “Some people come here just to hear him sing.”

At Mounds View High School, Principal Rob Reetz says that the administrative team has been working through the summer months to write up the annual school improvement plan and get the school ready to open to families after Labor Day. The Mounds View High School improvement plan for this year Rob Reetz consists of academic and Mounds View Principal

connectedness goals and strategies. One large focus from Mounds View staff concerns “building strong classroom communities and increasing engagement”.

Reetz believes that phones are a proven distraction and that they have a major impact on student’s mental health, detract from meaningful engagement in learning activities and don’t serve to deepen peer relationships.

“Having a better approach to engaging and reconnecting kids while limiting access to their phones is a major initiative for us this school year,” Reetz said.

Mounds View will also implement a “multitiered system of supports for students who demonstrate lagging skills academically, socially or behaviorally.” This system will include both in-class and out-of-class interventions that are measurable and aligned with best instructional practices.

“While we have incredible access to college credit-earning courses for many students, we can predict that as many as 15% of ninth-grade students are unlikely to finish their first year of high school with a GPA high enough to gain entry into Anoka Ramsey Community College courses as a sophomore,” Reetz said. “Our school improvement plan aims to ensure access for these 80-plus students, while also working to ensure they experience a school to which they feel they belong unconditionally.”

Much work has gone into professional development that helps teachers build a healthy and positive classroom environment and culture, along with strategies that increase student talk (dialogue with one another). Nine new teachers will join the Mounds View staff and are being onboarded by teacher leaders.

Deans have been working in August to connect with every ninth-grade student and family as part of Mounds View’s commitment to an effective transition from middle school. Gretchen Zahn, associate principal, is working along with the team of eight deans on the master high school schedule to ensure class sizes are balanced and right-sized.

“My message to students and families is that this is their community school,” Reetz said. “We want families to feel heard and valued and to take pride in what remains an excellent school.”

In the Mahtomedi School District as a whole, the roof of almost every building is being replaced. At the high school, an effort is underway to replace each SMART Board, as they are over 15 years old.

One thing Hahn highlights behind the scenes is the data analysis of grades from the end of the spring semester, which allows buildingwide goals to be established based on the data and where the school wants to improve.

“We are always excited to see our students return for another year,” Hahn said. “The work we do is to support and create a love of learning that continues beyond the walls of the school.”

Sandlot baseball

I

recently spoke with a resident who reported seeing something unusual - a group of young kids playing a pick up game of baseball at Yost Park. He said there didn’t even seem to be any adults present. He wondered if they just watched the movie “Sandlot.”

In this age of organized sports, I don’t often see kids playing pickup games of any kind. My father-in-law talks about his childhood when all the neighborhood kids would ride their bikes to the ballfield and play from sun up to sundown all summer long.

Any issues that came up between the kids were worked out amongst themselves. I think it is difficult for many parents to imagine this kind of unsupervised play happening today.

This summer it has been Publisher’s encouraging to see middle school and high school-age kids out View walking or running along the Carter Johnson trails, riding bikes, skateboarding, and fishing. It would be great to see more kids put down their cell phones and video game controllers and take advantage of the outdoor ballfields, basketball courts, tennis courts and hockey rinks our community has to offer.

Fall sports

As Fall approaches we see teams out practicing for football, soccer, cross country, tennis and more.

Locker rooms, weight rooms and pools have been getting a workout as athletes build endurance and bulk up for the season. Here at the Press we are thankful for the parents, coaches and others who have supported our readers by providing stats, photographs and write ups. You will find our fall sports previews in this week’s edition. We hope parents, grandparents and other fans remember the rules of conduct in the stands. It’s been my observation that young kids love watching older kids play, and they see role models on the bench as well as on the sidelines or in the stands. Bring out your family and friends and fill the stands with energy and good vibes for the fall sports season.

Private property

Our communities are loaded with unique trails and paths used by walkers, horseback riders, ATV riders, runners and cyclists. Remember when you’re out walking a dog or taking a hike that many trails are surrounded by private property. We continue to hear from friends and neighbors who live in these areas about how many trespassers come onto their property, with damage sometimes occurring. Most of it is innocent, where people stumble onto private property to observe wildlife without even realizing it. But it can be menacing for landowners. I hear stories all the time about people walking on private property to get a good photo of a deer, having their property torn up by an ATV or dirt bike, or even tripping while walking down a dock without permission.

I just heard a story of a Lake Avenue/Mark Sather Trail walker who went off the path to feed geese on private property. I love wildlife, but they can become a nuisance and you can disrupt their natural feeding patterns. The walker was trespassing and feeding wildlife is banned in most cities. It is not much different than putting a bag of cat food on someone’s doorstep, which most people wouldn’t dream of doing.

As you are out and about enjoying the fall colors, remember to be considerate of private property.

Back to school

Every year I suggest our readers get prepared for the start of the school year by watching out for kids at bus stops, those who are walking or riding bikes to school, and those who are out on the roads as firsttime drivers. These next few weeks be sure to give yourself a little extra time to get to work or wherever you need to go, as you may be held up by school buses and extra traffic. Fill up a to-go mug of coffee and consider it pure joy as you’re waiting behind a school bus to think about how kids are off to learn in our highly-ranked local schools.

AM radio is crucial for Americans

here are 4,000 AM radio stations across the country – and over 300 of those stations are right here in Minnesota. Listeners turn to AM radio for everything from high school scores to crop reports to news and weather. In fact, during a weather emergency like a wildfire or a tornado, AM radio can serve as a lifeline, sharing critical and sometimes life saving information.

Legislator Despite this, AM radio is on the Lingo chopping block.

Amy Klobuchar Auto executives have threatened to pull AM radio out of newer models of some of their vehicles. Maybe from their headquarters it doesn’t seem like people care about AM radio anymore, but I bet if they took a drive through rural Minnesota, they would take a different view.

I was at Farmfest in Redwood County earlier this month, and the people I talked to agreed: AM radio is critical for rural communities.

AM radio is also critical for public safety. Seven former FEMA administrators from the

Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations have spoken out about the safety risks of eliminating AM radio from cars.

They explained that the National Public Warning System relies on AM radio to deliver emergency messages to the entire country at once. In times of emergency or severe climate conditions, the car is sometimes the only source of power and news for many. Phasing AM radio out of cars would mean this public safety system will no longer function as intended.

Across Minnesota we see just how vital this system is. Stations from KASM in Albany to KWAD in Wadena regularly broadcast tornado alerts, snow alerts, information about power outages, and more to their communities.

And when there was flooding in Crookston in 2021 and 2022, KROX radio was there to help - working in partnership with the city’s Emergency Operations Center to share the latest about the flooding, including information about road closures and the opening of a storm shelter where residents could turn for assistance.

This is what AM radio does day in and day out for its communities, and it is why I am fighting to pass the bipartisan AM for Every Vehicle Act. This legislation would ensure that AM radio

continues to be available in vehicles at no extra charge for those who want it during their daily commutes or their longdistance drives. We have a broad, bipartisan group of senators backing this bill that includes everyone from Ted Cruz to Bernie Sanders and it is also endorsed by the National Association of Broadcasters, the National Association of Farm Broadcasters, and several members of the Federal Communications Commission. This is the kind of coalition that gets results, and the good news is that this bill already easily passed through the Senate Commerce Committee.

I am committed to working across the aisle to ensure that drivers can tune in to AM radio for the sports and entertainment they like as well as the traffic, weather, and safety updates they need.

This benefits truckers, farmers, and commuters while offering stability to the thousands of AM radio stations we don’t want to live without. We shouldn’t have to sacrifice safety, news and a way of life simply because some car manufacturers want to make more profits. Let’s get this passed.

Amy Klobuchar is a United States Senator from Minnesota.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Coach will be missed

Like many in the White Bear Lake area, I was surprised and saddened to learn of Lyle Helke’s recent passing (Aug. 23 White Bear Press). Lyle was a consummate teacher, coach and mentor who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He had a unique way of bringing out the best in all who were fortunate enough to have passed his way. Both our girls ran cross country in the 1990s under Lyle and he had an important part in helping them become the women they are today. Long after Lyle retired from the White Bear Lake school system, we enjoyed our annual fall trip to Connie and Lyle’s place in Marine on St. Croix for Connie’s pottery sales. Lyle and their boys were often there to help. It seemed like Lyle remembered every kid he ever taught or coached and had something positive to say about each of them. Lyle, we’ll miss you. You ran a good race.

Growing government

Earlier this spring the Vadnais Heights City Council voted to participate in “Green Step City” programs on a limited basis. Concerned citizens objected to this program as it would be a difficult and costly process for the city. Other cities reported that their “Green Step” programs were a nightmare of paperwork and became too costly to continue. The City Council said that they would get volunteers to complete one of the new trial programs so that we could get a plaque for the city. The volunteers never materialized in any numbers that could get the tasks done in time. Now I see it reported in the August 23 Vadnais Heights Press that the city is looking to hire a Natural Resource Specialist to help with our environmental and sustainable goals. For the life of me, I cannot think of anything that Vadnais Heights citizens are doing in their homes or in their everyday lives that a Natural Resource Specialist can help us with. When the City Council said that our participation in the Green Step program would not cost us anything, was that the truth? This new Natural Resource Specialist, as reported, will cost us $41,787 plus benefits which is only the beginning of our costs.

The Council does not have the money for hiring this person in this year’s budget, so they are taking money from the Water Department’s fund balance. Those funds come from the citizen’s sewer and water billing.

Our state is already full of environmental departments that are planning on taking away our gas cars, our gas stoves and maybe now even our electric ceiling fans. Do we need an extra layer of bureaucrats at our city level in perpetuity? Hiring additional staff to our city should be part of the annual budgeting process so that it is transparent to all citizens. We should know what we are paying our taxes for. More than 75% of all government and city budgets are a result of salaries and benefits.

Hiring more staff should not be hidden by the council in our water bills.

Proposed budget submitted to county board SAINT PAUL — Ramsey County Manager Ryan O’Connor proposed the 2024-25 biennial budget to the board of commissioners. The budget was developed with a residentcentric focus by incorporating key learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic and including extensive community feedback.

The county’s proposed budget for 2024 totals $813,395,192 which represents a 3.48% overall budget increase from 2023. The proposed budget would see a levy increase of 6.7%, driven by a shift away from federal and state onetime resources that were available during the emergency pandemic. The proposed budget for 2025 totals $841,793,172, with an 3.49% budget increase from 2024 and a maximum 4.75% levy increase that is proposed to be reduced once estimates for future marijuana sales tax revenue can be incorporated.

The 2024 proposed budget was mitigated by a $6 million increase in county program aid from the state of Minnesota.

This increased state aid provided a 1.76% levy decrease from initial budget planning targets and helped keep the county’s long term levy growth at a more moderate level.

Looking at the period of 20152025, the annual average levy growth to Ramsey County taxpayers was 3.3% and from 2021-2025 (COVID era), the annual average levy growth was 3.5%.

During the pandemic, the county intentionally kept its property tax growth low by leveraging one-time federal relief dollars, making more than $20 million in operational cuts, and managing minimal operating budget increases.

All of this was done while transforming service delivery

to meet evolving community needs during a moment of historical significance. While not meant to be long-term budget solutions, the county made these strategic decisions during unprecedented economic times to offer additional support and relief to residents.

“We all know an enormous pressure was placed on communities and counties during the COVID-19 emergency response,” said Ryan O’Connor, Ramsey County manager. “The 2024-25 budget moves us beyond the pandemic.

It reflects an inflection point for our community and the county as we take our learnings from the last several extremely challenging years and turn them into investments in people, partnerships and service delivery that will create a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future.”

The 2024-25 biennial budget invests in both those served by the county and those providing services to the residents, businesses, and visitors of Ramsey County.

This includes making key investments in attracting and retaining top talent to work at the county to provide stellar service to residents. This also means investing in residents and businesses to meet the needs of the community and engaging and building trusting relationships with community to support healthy and safe communities for all.

This budget reflects the need to modernize systems to improve client access and service and deepen partnerships and collaborations with other agencies, organizations, and community.

Continued investments are being made in power sharing and co-creation including work on bail reform, non-

public safety traffic stops and the Appropriate Responses Initiative to name a few.

This budget also focuses on continuing to enhance service delivery and particularly finding the gaps and overlaps in how services are provided and increasing accessibility.

Investments are focused on how the county rethinks its usage of space and technology and opportunities to collaborate with community.

Important dates and next steps in the budget process

County service teams will present more details from their respective budgets Sept. 5-19 to the county board. Budget presentations will highlight major changes to programs and services, financial information, racial equity analyses and the influence of community engagement on the proposed budget. Presentations will be held in the Ramsey County Courthouse and available by livestream online.

The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners will adopt a maximum tax levy on Sept. 26.

The board is scheduled to vote on the final budget on Dec. 12.

Throughout the budget process, residents, businesses and other stakeholders are encouraged to provide feedback via the chief clerk’s office or at a public hearing.

• Public Hearing 1 — 4:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at Saint Paul City Hall – Ramsey County Courthouse or online.

• Public Hearing 2 — To be scheduled late November/ early December. Location to be held in community and online.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Washington County builds new environmental center

The construction of a second county environmental center is planned near Highway 61 and Headwaters Parkway in Forest Lake. The project is set to begin in September and has an anticipated opening date in late 2024.

The new center will provide more equitable disposal options for residents in the northern part of the county. Residents can dispose of household chemicals, fluorescent light bulbs, electronics, used oil, batteries and other items that do not belong in the trash. There will be self-serving recycling of cardboard, scrap metal, mixed recycling and food scraps also to be offered at the new site.

Additionally, the Washington County Northern Yard Waste site, which is currently located in Hugo, will move next to the new environmental center in Forest Lake.

The stolen e-bike is a white SWFT Fleet model, serial no. ending in 0216. The bike was to be auctioned with proceeds going to the Tour de Bar beneficiary.

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

A raffle prize valued at $1,000 was stolen during the night Aug. 19, putting a sour note on the otherwise successful Tour de Bar benefit.

An electric bike donated for the 35th annual benefit was being stored in an outside shed on Cabin 61 property, 4150 Hoffman Road, until it could be auctioned. Both the shed and bike were locked and secured at the time of the theft, but employees discovered locks were cut Sunday morning and the bicycle was gone.

Benefit organizer Michael Shearen said the police were called and a report was filed.

The bike was a raffle prize won by a Georgia man visiting relatives in White Bear Lake. When he learned he had won the bike, he told Shearen to sell it and give the money to the beneficiary, a 7-month-old girl

diagnosed with congenital pulmonary airway malformation. The Tour committee was planning a silent auction when the bike was stolen.

Shearen noted there was live music at the restaurant that Saturday night and the shed was converted into an outdoor bar. He speculated that someone saw the bike and returned after closing time to steal it. A sign, “win this bike,” was still attached.

Shearen hopes people will step up to help recover at least some of the bike’s value for the family. Anyone wishing to make a donation in replacement of the stolen bike can send a check payable to Tour de Bar Bicycle Benefit, c/o Mike and Linda Shearen, 2181 Southwood Drive, White Bear Lake, MN 55110.

Anyone with information on the stolen bicycle should contact Officer Jon Sanders at WBLPD, 651-429-8511.

Sophie Grace Richardson Age 19, of Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. Our brave, beautiful girl took her last peaceful breath with her family on August 16, 2023 after an 8-year battle with brain cancer.

Sophie was diagnosed with an anaplastic ependymoma brain tumor in August 2015.

She fought hard every single day for eight years.

Sophie was fierce, strong, and brave in her cancer battle. She never gave up, she never slowed down, she never wavered in her belief for a cure. She battled through recurring tumors with 9+ brain surgeries, several courses of radiation, and endless chemotherapies. She traveled the country from Seattle to Chicago to Pittsburgh for experimental trials. She never gave up, she never lost hope. She

was a brave, relentless fighter right to the very end.

In addition to being the bravest warrior, she had an incredible sense of humor. Sophie’s one-liners and quick wit was unmatched. Sophie was a fun, sweet girl with the perfect amount of a feistiness and sass.

Sophie is survived by her parents, John Richardson and Bridget Gulner, younger brother, Sam; Grandmas Dolly Richardson and Joyce Gulner; Many, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, and most importantly her dog, Stella Grace, and her 2 cats, Finn & Munch. Sophie attended Saint John the Evangelist in Little Canada from preschool through 8th grade. This is where she met her group of forever friends. Sophie was an excellent volleyball player. She played for St. John’s, Roseville’s JO club league, and Cretin Derham Hall. She graduated from Cretin Derham High School in 2022.

Special thanks to Sophie’s relentless and compassionate medical team at Children’s Hospital of Minnesota, especially her oncologist, Dr. Anne Bendel, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Maysem Kebreai, and the Hospice Team. Please consider a donation/ memorial to Children’s Hospital of Minnesota.

In her final act of selflessness, Sophie donated her brain to Children’s Hospital of Chicago for ependymoma brain tumor research. They will do a case study of her tumors in hopes of finding effective treatments for ependymoma brain tumors.

Even after the failed trials, Sophie was content in knowing she participated in research to help other cancer patients.

Rest in pain-free, cancer-free peace, Sophie Grace.

We know you are in heaven putting hats on cats and dressing up dogs. We love you. Mom…Dad…Sam Per Sophie’s wishes, she was cremated

Gerald Fredricksen Age 97. Proceeded in death by loving wife Patricia. Survived by children John (Lori), Paul, Mark (Chris), James (Mary), Anne, Mary (Chris), Angie (Tony).

White Bear Area Food Shelf to get 2nd home For 46 years, the White Bear Area Food Shelf has served the community of White Bear Lake and the communities within The White Bear Area School dicstrict. It will now open at a second location.

Executive Director Perry Petersen said the former public works building that houses the food shelf, located at 1884 Whitaker St., doesn’t provide enough room for the food shelf to meet the growing needs of the community.

The leased space is used for offices, warehousing, and preparation and distribution of food through a curbside pickup program.

“We have doubled the number of people that we’ve served in a year,” Petersen said. “In the last couple of months, we’ve seen a 21% increase in visits to the food shelf. This is due to inflation and to pre-pandemic levels of SNAP benefits, which is a traditional food stamp program for people.”

According to Rick Juba, assistant city manager, the second location will be at 2446 County Road F East. The city owns the property, which

currently houses the White Bear Dance Center, Suburban Community Channels and a Comcast Fiber hub. There are currently two vacant spaces that were formerly occupied

by White Bear Drapery, Garden of Hope Montessori School and the White Bear Lake Area School District.

The food shelf plans to lease the two vacant spaces for food distribution to serve area neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity.

“We’re ready to step up to the challenge,” Petersen said. “One of the innovative steps that we’re taking is a community market at this location. The community market will look and feel like a neighborhood market with low barriers, expanded culturally connected foods, and offices to host nonprofits that partner with us to specialize in wraparound services such as rental assistance, utility systems, access to programs for young families and seniors … just to name a few.”

Juba noted the food shelf will be responsible for all operating costs. Part of the remodeling will require a significant upgrade to the HVAC system. While this

upgrade is being triggered by the food shelf’s needs, the current system is nearing the end of its useful life and the new system will be owned by the city. Juba said the food shelf will pay for the HVAC upgrade up front, but the associated costs are being credited against the monthly lease amount over the threeyear term of the lease.

“The proposed lease is a three-year agreement, and it’s for about 3,040 square feet,” Juba said. “The proposed rate has been reduced from the market rate for that building to reflect improvements that the food shelf is making that the city would have otherwise had to make involving the rooftop units.”

The lease will be effective Sept. 1 and end Aug. 31, 2026.

The new facility will have 45 parking spots compared to 13 at the Whitaker location.

It will also have expanded hours.

“This market will really focus on fresh items,” Petersen said. “Forty percent of our food that we distribute is food that we rescue from local grocery stores. So a lot of what we do as a redistribution within our community is just making sure that food doesn’t

The White Bear Area Food Shelf will open a second market at 2446 County Road F East, near the Normandy Park Education Center, in the space vacated by Garden of Hope Montessori, White Bear Drapery, and the White Bear Lake Area Schools. The property is owned by the City of White Bear Lake and also houses the White Bear Dance Center and Suburban Community Channels.

go to waste. The food shelf doesn’t serve nameless people.

It makes a real difference in the lives of our neighbors and our community.”

Mayor Dan Louismet said he is thankful for the work the food shelf does for the community.

“I wish we weren’t sitting here saying that there’s a need for expansion,” Louismet said. “I’m grateful that you

Taste of White Bear aims to please the palate The White Bear Lake Rotary Club will host the Taste of White Bear Lake event from 2-5 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 9, at Jacobson’s Pine Tree Apple Orchard.

The Taste of White Bear Lake celebrates White Bear’s food and beverage vendors while raising money for Rotary projects.

“We have 120 members, and this is our way of raising the money that supports these programs,” said Rotarian Kevin Donovan. “We have a number of different avenues of service and a number of different things that we do in the community.”

“The Taste is a casual event in September and brings the community together,” Donavan said.

“People can also walk through the orchard to celebrate the outdoors.”

Purchase tickets online at tasteofwhitebearlake. com/ or ask someone from Rotary if you can purchase tickets from them.

Donovan noted the goal this year is to have 30 different local restaurants, specialty shops, breweries and distilleries. So far, 20 vendors have signed up.

Back this year is the traditional cork pull fundraiser and live music by country singer Ben Nelson.

“This year, the Taste of White Bear returns to just a one-day event,” Donavan said. “We are not doing our passport that was done in the past.”

Last year, the September event generated approximately $50,000 for Rotary.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Handmade books filled with messages Above: A handmade book Erica Spitzer Rasmussen created in the shape of a ceramic teapot contains quotes from her late stepfather Warren MacKenzie, who was internationally acclaimed for the simple, wheel-thrown, functional pottery he produced.

Above: Warren Mackenzie at work in the studio he maintained in Grant until his death in 2018 at the age of 94. Along with his tenure as a professor at the University of Minnesota, he was also involved locally as a founding member of the arts council which later evolved into what is now the White Bear Center for the Arts.

At left: The books feature quotes that illustrate the underlying philosophy of continued learning and discovery that inspired MacKenzie to keep working at the craft he loved for most of his life. The books are currently on display at Grand Hand gallery in St. Paul.

Find more information about the artist at ericaspitzerrasmussen.com.

At right: Rasmussen used fibers from overalls Warren MacKenzie wore in his studio to make paper for the tribute series of pottery shaped books.

District showcases expanded activity spaces

CONTRIBUTED

The courts on Bald Eagle Avenue have been lined for tennis and pickleball.

SCHOOL BRIEF

Recently, a popular topic of conversation has been the expanded indoor and outdoor spaces for student and community activities. The White Bear Lake Area High School Field House has seen its share of action: the indoor walking track was opened to community members last spring, the boys’ and girls’ track teams are hosting season-opening indoor track and field meets, and a variety of camps and activities are taking place at the five-court indoor space.

The stadium and turf fields surrounding the current North Campus have seen practices and contests, along with community use when the spaces are not reserved for activities. The new courts on Bald Eagle Avenue, which are painted and lined for both tennis and pickleball, were completed in mid-August to be used for the fall sports season.

They are available for community use.

Welcome Wednesdays

Drop in any Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Magnuson Christian School to see the educational opportunities that could be the place for your child or children. Magnuson Christian School is a faith-based school offering a strong curriculum, small class sizes and leadership opportunities for students in grades K-8. Prospective families can also coordinate a private tour by calling 651478-7317 or sending an email to hello@ magnusonschool.org.

Magnuson Christian School is located at 4000 Linden Street, White Bear Lake, inside the Community of Grace Building.

“I

SEPTEMBER EVENTS

EMERGING ARTIST SANYU MWASSA

don’t think I would have a sliver of the confidence I do today without the arts, especially speech,” says 2024 senior Sanyu Mwassa. These are bold words, yet they are backed by a groundbreaking achievement: Sanyu Mwassa is the first person from White Bear Lake to reach the last round in the National Speech and Debate Association tournament, the United States’ premiere interscholastic speech meet.

Mwassa’s category, Dramatic Interpretation (DI), involves performing a 10-minute-or-less excerpt of a publicly available play, novel, or short story. Sanyu made the final cut, placing fourth in the country! In order to reach that level, Mwassa had to be intimately familiar with the sound of her own voice.

“My voice is on the more lyrical side but is mixed with a fuller sound,” Sanyu explains, “My inspirations… are definitely a lot of the sopranos that have been on Broadway, such as Laura Benati and Cynthia Erivo.” Mwassa’s musical approach to her voice stems from her participation in choir and musical theatre, which “have helped me grow immensely.” “I think [they’ve] also helped me see the world

through the same lens as the characters I have portrayed.

Helping me better understand the complexity of life…” Sanyu adds.

While extracurriculars have played a major part in Sanyu’s success, Mwassa also credits her

5B

sister, Nambi, for inspiration strength. “Seeing my sister perform on the stage inspired me to pursue music…” Sanyu recalls, “…She has constantly been one of my main supporters, and she is now one of my coaches for Speech!”

Explore upcoming Avenue of the Arts events with CPA, LPT and WBCA

One look at Sanyu’s upcoming senior Speech season explains the need for multiple coaches.

Not only is Mwassa once again participating in DI, but she is also double entering in Original Oratory as well. Additionally, Sanyu is looking forward to this year’s fall musical at White Bear Lake.

Beyond high school, Mwassa sees herself continuing her craft.

Says Sanyu, “I plan on doing Speech in college competitively.

I would like to incorporate the arts into my post college life and try coaching speech students myself !” Mwassa also has impressive ambition on where she wants to compete. “I plan to attend a university on the East Coast and hopefully major in journalism or communications in order to become a Creative Director,” Sanyu reports.

To achieve these goals, Mwassa intends on following simple-yet-profound advice: “Don’t think; just do.” Faith in her performing abilities will help Sanyu apply that advice.

“Performing has taught me how to wear my heart on my sleeve and above all be vulnerable…”

Mwassa concludes, “Performing is an extension of oneself, and it allows me to convey and express myself in ways I never thought were possible.”

MIGHTY SWORDS AND MIGHTY PENS FOR LAKESHORE PLAYERS IN SEPTEMBER

T

he Three Musketeers Comic books and stage theatre may seem an odd pairing at first glance, but Lakeshore Players’ upcoming production smelts the two concepts together with The Three Musketeers, their 71st season’s inaugural play running September 15th to October 1st.

“We’re used to reading The Three Musketeers as one book,” explains Megan Pence, Lakeshore Players’ executive director, “but Alexandre Dumas originally published it as a serial adventure in a newspaper.” This gave show director Eric Morris the idea to “Marvel”-ize the show.

“It’ll feel like a comic book come to life!” Pence exclaims.

Such a distinct take on the material makes sense because of the timing. Kids will be firmly back in school, and families will be back from their summer trips.

“We wanted a really fun show to kick off the year,” Pence states, “It’s very family friendly.” Longtime theatre fans will also delight in a script written by fan favorite Ken Ludwig.

“When Ludwig writes a show, you know it’s gonna be fun, funny, and energetic,” grins Pence.

Of course, no adventure comic-book is complete without fight scenes. Here, Megan Pence’s eyes gleam in excitement.

“There’s very stylized stage combat. Everyone’s gonna pick up a sword at some point!”

What the Constitution Means to Me September 17th is National Constitution Day, so Lakeshore Players will be performing one of their most ambitious shows yet—What the Constitution Means to Me. Appropriately, the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the American Civil Liberty Union will give a preshow talk an hour before curtains go up.

“This show is not safe in any way,” Megan Pence, executive director of Lakeshore Players advises, “It’s intended for 14 plus. There are heavy topics and heavy language.” With such a discretionary warning, Pence’s

summation of the show is surprising.

“It’s humorous,” Pence shrugs, “Yes, it’s upfront and honest, but just because this show has a ‘trigger warning’ doesn’t mean people should automatically be against it.”

According to Pence, the show also take pains to familiarize the audience with complex governmental concepts. The ninth amendment and its vague uses, for instance, receive verbal jabs from the play’s characters.

Pence also stresses that the show is not motivated by a political agenda, but does have a defined viewpoint. “That’s what makes the show so engaging and accessible,” Pence explains, “It’s one woman’s perspective in her own life.”

In the next breath, Pence points out that the show is not one person preaching her viewpoints. “The second act is really fun because it’s a debate with perspectives of different generations. Because of that, each character gives unexpected generational views. Certain audience members even get to vote for the winner of the debate at the end!”

CHILDREN’S PERFORMING ARTS BREWING SOMETHING MAGICAL FOR OCTOBER’S MASQUE All ticket holders are treated to an evening program and entertainment. Should one miss the RSVP date, they can still register to attend the evening program through October 14th dependent upon availability.

Everyone in attendance will also have access to silent-auction viewing 30 minutes before the program begins.

The aim of the fundraiser is twofold: to provide scholarships for CPA camps and to keep tickets affordable for the community.

“The scholarships are so important,” HaniflLee remarks, “We have kids that want to take our classes and learn these skills, but their parents maybe can’t afford it. We can

say, ‘Hey, come anyway. We want you here.’”

The other feature CPA offers is “Pay What You Can” performances. “Families are still not fully going out yet after COVID,” HaniflLee explains, “So many say to themselves, ‘Why should we? Let’s just watch a movie or a streaming service at home with the kids.

Let’s stay in.’” Pay-What-You-Can pricing, then, allows members of the community to remove cost as a factor when considering which shows to attend.

While Pay-What-You-Can performances solves an audience problem, it creates a pricing issue backstage. “[Artists] cost more these days,” Hanifl-Lee points out, “and they

should! Look at the price of gas—general cost of living. If you’re traveling to our center to help these kids put on a show, you deserve to be fairly compensated.” The Masque fundraiser’s enchanting touch, therefore, is needed to make sure everyone has the opportunity to be transported by the magic of theatre.

“The arts should be accessible to everyone,” Hanifl-Lee states emphatically, “not just those who aren’t concerned about inflation.”

To register, visit childrensperformingartsmn.org/support/ masque-gala

“M

agical Attire is something to which we aspire but not something which we require,” Sharon HaniflLee says of this year’s Masque—Children’s Performing Arts’ (CPA) annual fundraiser.

Though the event takes place October 14th, registration is open throughout September with an RSVP of October 1st.

VIP tickets come with special early access, an all-night open bar, reserved seating, and an afterparty complete with goodie bag. The regular admission includes drink tickets, heavy appetizers, and late-night snacks.

Work slowed in all areas as crews waited for concrete to cure. Concrete curb and gutter work was completed in all areas.

Looking ahead

Alpine Avenue and Horizon Street: • Reclaiming the street may begin late this week. Reclamation is a process that grinds the asphalt and gravel base together, creating a stronger base material for the road. Crews will be stockpiling “windrows” in the roadway.

Windrows are piles of excess material that will be collected by the milling

machine later in the week. Please do not attempt to drive over windrows.

Crews will be instructed to maintain access for all residents. Residents may lose access shortly as work is taking place, but it will be reinstated in a timely manner.

• Milling of excess material will likely take place late this week.

• An increase in equipment and construction traffic will be present this week. Please reduce speed and follow all traffic control direction.

CORRECTION In the Aug. 23 issue of the Vadnais Heights Press, the article “Vadnais Heights plans new natural resource position,” incorrectly states the position will pay $41,787. The pay range for the position is $85,000-$102,000/yr. The $41,787 was a requested budget amendment to fund the position for the remainder of 2023. The Press apologizes for the error.

Mike Schlosser’s handmade lures.

Fishing lures made locally every winter

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

For the last four years, Mike Schlosser of White Bear Lake has made fishing lures to give out to his friends and family.

Around 10 years ago, Schlosser saw some handmade muskie lures at an art fair. He did not purchase one at the time, because he thought it was too expensive. He looked around later to see if he could buy one, but he never really found one.

“I figured when I retired, I could start making them as something to do in the wintertime,” Schlosser said.

He begins to make them at the end of December and the beginning of January, because it is a slower time of year.

In the first year, he made about eight to 10 lures. Last year, he managed to create 109 of them. It takes about four hours to make a single lure. His designs change every year based on what is on the market. When he first started, he made them out of broom

handles and hockey sticks. Now, he uses Bockler wood because it is harder and the hardware to attach the hooks to stays in better.

“No two lures are alike,” Schlosser added.

Schlosser makes muskie, northern bass and walleye lures. They range anywhere from 2 to 10 inches, but he finds that lures around 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches work the best when used out on the water.

“It is more of a hobby,” Schlosser said. “And truthfully, I don’t think I’ve gotten to the quality where I feel good about selling them.”

But his brother does flea markets, and Schlosser is considering giving him a handful and seeing how they sell.

Schlosser mainly likes to give his lures away. If he sees a kid fishing he will hand them one; he also likes to give them to friends and family members.

“I know I am going to do them again next year,” he added. There are new designs he wants to try out.
