How local schools are using Artificial Intelligence

BY MADELINE DOLBY SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

In multiple north metro area schools, there is no official written school board policy regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), yet various restrictions can be in place to limit the usage of AI. Each school district has different regulations and rules when it comes to utilizing AI. But AI can also be used to help create lesson plans, grade students’ homework and help students study for upcoming tests or quizzes.

“Our district mission acknowledges the importance of providing students with opportunities to lead and thrive in a dynamic world,” said Duffrin. “Our Portrait of a Graduate, which outlines the skills we want for graduates of Mahtomedi Public Schools, includes utilizing AI and technology responsibly while staying current on trends for success.”

The district acknowledges that AI can improve efficiency and invite innovative learning experiences for students.

Duffrin also stated that students must learn to use generative AI tools responsibly and ethically to successfully navigate a future where these technologies will play a crucial role in job markets SEE AI, PAGE 10

Small business owners keeping spirits alive

“If you build it, they will come.”

Although Kevin Costner’s line in “Field of Dreams” is famous in baseball culture, it also illustrates what someone from a different country can accomplish in America. That is what White Bear Lake resident Hardik Patel is looking to accomplish as the owner of the new White Bear Wine and Spirits store downtown.

“To me, the American Dream is putting in the hours and tough labor,” said Patel. “It’s also about being transparent with others, which is to respect and welcome them like a family.”

his wife Selena, and Sam’s sister Ann, the ownership of the store passed to Sam and Selena’s daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Rich Bohaty, in 1972. Both owned and ran the store until 2015. That year, Controneo’s bought Ciresi’s and, in 2019, Patel bought Controneo’s. This fall, he renamed the store and moved it into the former Fraser Automotive location.

Patel himself is originally from New Jersey, and his grandparents come from India. Initially a technology consultant for India-based company Infosys, Patel moved to Minnesota in 2015, where he became fascinated with the

Though White Bear Wine and Spirits is in a new location, it is rooted in a much older, iconic business from the city’s past.

High school mountain bike team shares success and bonding For a group of young, local bike riders, no trail is too intense, and no competition is without a headstrong determination to succeed. Those two elements are what fuels the power of the White Bear Lake Mountain Bike Team.

The team officially wrapped up its season with the state championship, which was held October 12 and

some friends who were encouraging me to start biking. I did it for the first time in Whistler, Canada, and immediately fell in love with it.”

Since becoming captain, Lindholm has earned his fair share of rewards, including placing second at the 2022 State Championship.

However, the fun he has had biking with his fellow riders is what has brought him the most love. “I love riding, but I also love the community aspect,” said Lindholm.

“The people I bike with here are amazing, and I love them all.”

Captains Grace Conroy and Gretchen Blankenship, also seniors, share similar sentiments about their biking experiences. “It’s always fun for me to hang out with my teammates and cheer them on at the races,” said Conroy. “It’s super fun.”

“I always look forward to all the girls I race with,” added Blankenship. “They’re are so many amazing

people from different teams. It’s fun to learn about them and how they came into the sport.”

Although Blankenship and Conroy have biked recreationally since childhood, both admitted they needed persuasion to join the team. “My parents encouraged me,” said Blankenship, whose father, Tren, coaches the team. “I was a little too scared to join by myself.

I needed a community; thankfully, they were there for me.”

Conroy said, “One of my friends suggested that I join. I already knew some other people on the team, too.”

Team season, according to Coach Tren Blankenship, is held in early July (generally after the Fourth) and runs through midOctober. Practice is held two days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. Tuesday practices are held on tracks including Sunfish Lake Park in Lake Elmo and Carver Lake Park in Woodbury.

Thursdays are reserved for farther away, including Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Eagan; Whitetail Ridge in River Falls, Wisconsin; and Elm Creek Park

Reserve in Champlain.

“We try to vary it to keep the kids interested and try new things,” said Blankenship. “On Thursdays, we’ll try to go a bit farther away. It helps to expose riders to new places because there’s so much good riding in Minnesota.

It builds excitement, engagement and exposure.” Blankenship has led the team as head coach for five years, succeeding previous coach Andrew Engen.

Twenty five riders participated at state this year. Five of the team’s riders placed within the top 25 of different divisions. They include: • Senior Marshall Hawks placed 25th in the Senior Open Boys Division.

• Sophomore James Wallek placed 19th in the Junior Varsity Three Boys Division.

• Senior Captain Grace Conroy placed 23rd in the D1 Junior Varsity Three Girls Division.

• Senior Captain Gretchen Blankenship placed 18th in the D1 Varsity Girls Division.

• Freshman Cason Juergens placed 21st in the Junior Varsity Two Boys Division One.

EMERGING ARTIST: ARIANNA VANN-COOK

P

eople are often sorted into two categories: followers and leaders.

Recent White Bear Lake graduate Arianna VannCook, however, belongs in a third category—trailblazer.

School Board Student Liaison, Black Student Union coleader, Women Empowerment Seminar founder—VannCook has long been bursting with ideas. Only in the last few years, though, has she realized the power her ideas had.

“I had notebooks and books lined up in every corner of my room, and I didn’t realize … until a teacher drew it out of me, like, ‘Honey this is poetry,” Vann-Cook recalls. Because she had so much content, her teacher

encouraged her to submit to White Bear Center for the Arts’ WriteNow! Contest. She won four awards her freshman year.

Vann-Cook describes poetry

and writing as “my deepest emotions and thoughts. It’ll be something small, and then it’ll kind of snowball into something bigger. … It’s really just pouring everything out.” Vann-Cook’s process led her to write the piece “Monochromatic”—a poem about Vann-Cook’s experience

growing up mixed race. For this, she received an Award of Merit from WBCA, who also featured the work in their first issue of “Repose,” an art collective magazine.

Vann-Cook’s relationship with WBCA proved critical when the center looked to establish a high-school internship program.

There, she used the shape and power of her words to appeal to the State House of Representatives: “I have witnessed a great deal of passion with no outlet, having nowhere to fulfill their dreams … Talent is something that can often be overlooked if there is nowhere to apply it.” Earlier this year, VannCook completed WBCA’s inaugural students-in-resident internship.

She also handed the reins of the Women Empowerment

HISTORICAL SOCIETY RETRACES MINNESOTA’S TRAIL OF TEARS

BY LOGAN GION CONTRIBUTING WRITER

O

n Nov. 7, 1862, between two of The Civil War’s most brutal battles, Minnesota governor Alexander Ramsey demanded that the Dakota “be exterminated or driven forever beyond the borders of the State.” This was decreed in retribution for the deaths caused by Little Crow’s Rebellion earlier that year. The vast majority of the Dakota population had opposed the war, refused to fight and condemned the fighting party’s leader, Little Crow, for his actions. Nevertheless, that winter, 1,658 non-combatant Dakota were forcibly marched for 150 miles from the land on which they’d lived for hundreds of years—currently termed “unceded lands”— to an internment camp in Fort Snelling en route to a reservation near Omaha, Nebraska. Only 1,000 reached their destination. This event is now known as Minnesota’s Trail of Tears.

A Google search of “MN Trail of Tears” yields a handful of local and state articles before switching to “Trail

of Tears” with a note underneath that reads “Missing: MN.” While writing this very article, autocorrect “helpfully” changed “unceded lands” to “unneeded lands.” Rob Thomas, Development Director for the History Theater and current Board President for the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, believes two factors are behind the low awareness of this atrocity. The first is that Minnesota only allowed Dakota to reenter under strict terms beginning in 1889.

Thomas’ own family only returned in the late 1940s. The second reason hits upon a universal human difficulty.

“We don't mind talking about the concentration camps in Germany because it happened in Germany; somebody else did it. We get a little more hesitant to share real history when we're talking about ourselves,” Thomas states. To help remedy this, Thomas will be giving a historical presentation of these events through the eyes of his great-great-greatgrandparents, Pazaheyayewin (She radiates in her path like the sun) and Mazaadidi (Walks on iron).

When Thomas talks about this

subject, he sometimes gets a little pushback. “The most common thing I hear is, ‘You know, the Indians killed white people too,’” he says. “Yes. But we're talking about systemic issues of our educators not having either the education themselves or the power to tell, you know, true stories. These are big, big problems that everyone should be upset about.”

To be clear, though, Thomas’ aim is not to make anyone feel ashamed or guilty about Minnesota history.

“You don't have any control over it. …

I don't think anyone should have to feel bad about that specifically. But we can feel bad about not doing enough to acknowledge people want to see themselves represented in history,” he says. “There were, and are, burial mounds [in White Bear Lake], which means this was a significant place to Dakota people at some point. So Dakota history has to be a part of White Bear history too."

One Family’s Journey on MN’s Trail of Tears takes place from 6-7 p.m. Nov. 18 at the White Bear Lake Library. No advance registration is necessary.

WHITE BEAR DYES FUR ‘BLONDE’ FOR FALL MUSICAL

BY LOGAN GION CONTRIBUTING WRITER

C

hoir Teacher and Musical Theater Director Wendy Suoja has directed 27 shows for White Bear Lake Area High School Theater. However, this fall’s musical, “Legally Blonde,” has a special distinction: It will be the last show performed in the high school’s theater. The Performing Arts Center, a new 850-seat auditorium complete with a fly system and changeable screens, will open in early December.

“It’s super nostalgic for me personally,” says Suoja, “'cause I've been here since 1999. Then for the kids, their world has been jostled so much over the past five years … For them [the space is] like their favorite pair of shoes.” Suoja also believes that this show will be invigorating for all who see it. Between COVID and construction on the 9-12 high school, “Legally Blonde” will be the first show since 2019 that will

feel normal to produce.

Then again, Suoja promises that “Legally Blonde” will be tweaked “the White Bear way.” Elle Woods, the musical’s lead part, will be played by Yahaira Nok-Chidana, who is Afro-Latina. Nok-Chidana’s hair will be specially interwoven and braided to achieve the signature blonde color and look. Suoja assures that those who see the show, though, will recognize Nok-Chidana as Elle Woods almost immediately. “We are not changing the vibe of the character,” Suoja explains. “You see her for the character in about 30 seconds in her performance. It's so good.” As for the reason behind the casting, Suoja says. “You know, Elle Woods’ story is anybody’s story.”

Elle Woods’ story will be everybody’s story when White Bear Lake High School’s production of “Legally Blonde” opens at 7 p.m. Nov. 15.

Seminar, a student-interest club that Vann-Cook founded, to her successor. “I do a lot of spoken word at the seminars and try to relate to the crowd … you know, self love and the battle with confidence. I’m glad that I took the initiative to start it. Now it’s like an actual big club. You can letter in it now, which is super cool.

It’s in the yearbook.”

Even with these accomplishments to her name, Vann-Cook is still amazed that her ideas have turned into concrete accomplishments. “I created [the seminar] out of thin air, and it’s real now. It’s the same thing for writing.

You create something; it can be real.”

OPINION www.presspubs.com

OCTOBER 30, 2024

Friendship recession

recent issue of Rotary magazine draws attention to the decline in friendships due to death, moving to a new community, job transfers, and generally speaking, the reality of getting older.

It’s easy for one’s close friends to grow apart, and replacing them seems overwhelming.

It’s obvious that being part of an organization like Rotary enhances and grows friendships like many other organizations in which you can participate.

Research has shown how important friendships can be to our mental and physical health.

Some suggest you may even live longer.

For Kathy and I, friends offer help on major decisions.

Sometimes they are even more helpful than family. Many times friends have helped us clarify About the with objectivity.

It seems like in all cultures of Town the world this friendship recession Gene Johnson is growing and not improving.

The author of the Rotary article, Kate Silver, starts off the article with “You’ve got a friend.” She relates how some people have found ways to make connections.

I’m sure you’ve discovered that if you walk a dog, that’s a good way to bring up conversation with others who are walking their pets. It takes a common ground. You have to smile and talk to people.

Over the years Kathy and I have hosted over 20 foreign exhange students and adults through different programs like Rotary. Those friendships in many cases have continued and we’ve even met some of them in their home countries.

“Here to Make Friends”, a book by Hope Kelaher, suggests that everyone have an anchor institution, whether it’s a place of worship, schools, clubs, or a café.

Think about people in your social network whom you already know and like. Be sure you reach out to them with a birthday message or an invitation to dinner, and when you do that, ask them to bring a friend that you haven’t met.

Discover what you like about a new person you have met and engage them. Ask how they spend leisure time, where they vacation, what they like about certain shopping opportunities.

All this takes time and it will not necessarily be easy, but the end result is rewarding.

In the newspaper business, I have often said we have to make new friends because we lose so many through column and editorial writing.

Whether you agree or disagree, I’m always pleased to hear from you with a letter, a note, or a call.

Share your opinions, your thoughts, your ideas. We’re all different, but we bring a lot of thoughtful information to the table.

The red flag

Scams today are so prevalent and it’s so easy to be caught up with them, whatever your age.

A good warning I heard recently is if someone is trying to make you frightened or threatened, the red flag should go up. It’s very likely a scam.

Scammers are getting more and more clever and finding new ways to catch people off guard.

There are many premium offers that look good and some are even told will be complimentary, but you can’t trust them. I think retailers and promotional people that are legitimate are losing out because of all the scamming. Remember local businesses can be trusted and are here to serve you.

It might not be too late to plant tulips

s it too late to plant my tulip bulbs? The answer might surprise you!

While the ideal time to plant hardy spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils and tulips is generally considered to be from mid-September to mid-October in Minnesota, tardy gardeners may still have time during this warmer than usual autumn.

If planted right, hardy tulip bulbs will provide a bright, cheery welcome to the springtime garden.

Gardener’s According to University Grapevine the of Minnesota, tulips can be Lora Berg planted as late as gardeners can get them into the soil. Bulbs grow best in rich, well-drained soils.

Bulbs will need ample light for spring growth and to help leaves generate energy even after the flowering process is complete.

Hardy bulbs such as tulips can be planted underneath or near deciduous trees and shrubs because the bulbs will be done blooming by the time the leaves

on deciduous trees become dense enough to produce shade.

Prepare the planting site by removing rocks, sticks and weeds. Use a garden fork or tiller to work compost, shredded leaf mulch or peat moss into the planting area. This organic matter will help improve soil structure and create a good growing environment for the bulbs. Avoid planting in areas with standing water.

While there are special bulbplanting tools available, digging a trench or larger hole is an efficient and acceptable way to plant multiple bulbs of the same type in a larger area.

Tips for Planting Tulip Bulbs: • Follow planting directions from the bulb package.

Generally, plant bulbs two to three times deeper than their diameter. With light, sandy soils, plant bulbs 1 or 2 in. deeper, and consider planting bulbs 1 to 2 in. shallower in heavier clay soils.

• Plant tulip bulbs with the pointed end facing up. The base of the bulb should be resting onthe prepared soil.

• Once bulbs are all in-place, cover with half of the soil and thoroughly soak the area with

water. Then add the remaining soil and rake to smooth and level the surface of the bed.

• Water and cover the soil surface with 2-3 in. of leaf mulch, wood mulch, or clean straw that is free of weed seeds to help hold in moisture and maintain a more consistent soil temperature as the seasons change.

• Squirrels and chipmunks may dig up and eat tulip bulbs after planting. To protect newly planted bulbs, lay a piece of chicken wire flat over the planted areas and anchor with U-shaped staples normally used with landscape fabric.

Cover the wire with mulch.

While the wire will make it difficult for the critters to dig up the bulbs, the emerging plants will easily grow through the wire holes.

• Remember to label the areas where bulbs are planted to avoid accidentally digging them up while doing spring garden work.

We received some much needed rain last week, October 24. I totaled 0.49” which went in line with other reports. It settled the dust and I mowed my yard for the first time in almost two months. This past weekend’s weather was spectacular and this week started off with near or record highs. It’s hard to tell how much longer this is going to last but the days are getting shorter and they will bring in cooler overnights and eventually cooler highs. In the meantime enjoy the pleasant weather. Don’t forget Daylight Saving time ends on Sunday.

White Bear Lake master bird bander widens Scouts’ outdoor world

BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It’s not often adults get a chance at a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with wild birds of prey. For youth involved with Scouts BSA, on the other hand, it could be any old Saturday.

On one recent weekend, 18 Scouts from BSA Troop 639 held a “bird banding campout” in northern Minnesota. The experience was a first for all involved, and made possible by one Scout’s grandfather, master bander and White Bear Lake resident Frank Taylor.

Taylor greeted the troop at the banding site with the day’s first capture already in hand: a sharp-shinned hawk. He proceeded to tell all about that species’ physical features, diet and migration. He then enlisted the Scouts to help him record the bird’s measurements and information from its newly attached band. One fortunate Scout, Declan Johnson, was chosen to release it back onto its journey south.

As he worked, Taylor showed the Scouts his equipment, talked about the banding process and shared more about raptors and their migration through northwestern Minnesota.

He explained that since the vast water of Lake Superior doesn’t produce the warm air thermals the birds need to make their long migrations, they are funneled down the North Shore. As a result, they

Troop 639 Scout Owen Tollefson releases a freshly banded sharp-shinned hawk to continue its migration.

pass his banding station— and Duluth’s famous Hawk Ridge—in large numbers each fall.

If anyone could teach a bunch of Scouts about all these things, it would be Taylor. This is the 55th year he has banded raptors in the same location in St. Louis County. In that time, he has banded over 5,000 birds on a volunteer basis under the U.S. Geological Survey’s rigorous oversight. Sharp-shinned hawks, like the one Johnson released, are the most captured in Taylor’s nets year after year. He had a simple explanation for that.

“Because there’s more of them!” he laughed. “Actually, there are two birds that come through Duluth in big numbers: the sharp-shinned hawks and the broad-winged hawks. Well, most of the adult broad-winged hawks stop eating when they migrate, so

every once in a while we’ll catch an immature broad wing that is hungry. But most of the sharp-shinned hawks are real hungry, real aggressive, so we catch more of those.”

After the first bird release, Taylor and the Scouts hunkered down to wait for the next raptor. While they waited, a “kettle” of broadwinged hawks gathered on a thermal overhead. An eagle made a thrilling fly-by and, at least twice, red-tailed hawks circled and swooped, but did not make contact with the net. Within an hour, another sharp-shinned hawk was in hand.

Taylor again asked Scouts to help him with measuring and banding the bird. When all the paperwork was done, Owen Tollefson picked the lucky number and was allowed to release it.

“It was very cool,” recalled

Tollefson, his face lighting up.

“He taught me how to hold it and stuff. So I had to hold it in my hand, and on the count of three I released it and it went straight back into the woods.”

It is no coincidence that Taylor has provided experiences like Tollefson’s for decades. Education has been at the center of his involvement with raptors for years, including his time as curator of education birds at The Raptor Center. He and his wife Trudi, a retired professor of education, have hosted many visitors to the banding station over the years. Taylor cited groups associated with the National Eagle Center, DNR, Minnesota Zoo and many college biology departments.

“I love talking about it and showing people, and what’s there and why it goes on, ” he said.

According to Troop 639

Scoutmaster Kurt Then, tapping into Taylor’s expertise was a no-brainer. “We are always looking for unique and fun experiences for the Scouts,” he said. “Through events like these, the Scouts are learning and experiencing things you can’t get through other activities.”

He said that thanks to Frank Taylor’s knowledge and generous spirit, the Scouts who ventured north for an up-close encounter with raptors will remember it for a lifetime.

Owen Tollefson would likely agree. “It was just so cool. I felt like I wouldn’t have an experience like this, probably never in my life again,” he said.

Financial tips for young professionals

CONTRIBUTED

and Time-bound, and can serve as a roadmap to achieving various goals, including those related to money.

Develop a clear plan for your money, which can make it easier to budget and achieve savings-related goals. · Minimize debt. The Education Data Initiative says university graduates owe an average of $28,244 on student loans after they leave school, with a monthly payment between $200 and $299. Some graduates have even more debt and higher payments.

Managing debt is vital to anyone’s finances. Create a debt repayment plan at the earliest opportunity. With

a “snowball” strategy, borrowers pay off their smallest debts first. Once a debt is paid off, the payment amount for that debt is then applied to the next smallest debt, gaining momentum with each payment. The “avalanche” approach involves paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first. · Aim to pay with cash more often.

Unless you can afford to pay off the balance in full every month, using credit cards a lot can contribute to debt accumulation. LendingTree says that, as of September 2024, the average APR on all new card offers was 24.92%. Buying items with cash

or debit will reduce the likelihood of spending what you don’t have, offers Investopedia. · Set up an emergency fund. It might be challenging to set aside a lot of money right now when you have an entry-level position and some debt.

But setting aside as little as $1,000 for unexpected life events separate from your own personal savings can shield you from issues that arise from unexpected expenses. · Participate in employer benefit plans.

Look for the various ways that your employer can help you save money.

This may include participating in retirement plans (including those with employer contribution matches), health spending accounts, gym memberships, and additional opportunities. · Start saving and investing now.

According to SmartAsset, if you start investing $150 a paycheck at age 25 and your investments have an average annualized return of 8%, after 40 years you’ll have about $1.1 million in your account. Investing the same at age 35 means cutting nearly half of that total simply by procrastinating.

There are many ways young professionals can develop strong financial skills. Working with a certified financial planner also can help young professionals grow wealth over the course of their lives.

Young adults confront something of a juggling act once they begin their professional lives. For many, that challenge begins with landing and starting a first job, arranging a payment plan for student loans, finding a place to live, and determining savings and personal finance goals. Although entering the workforce and taking a big step toward financial independence can be exciting, it also comes with financial responsibility. Setting a strong financial foundation as early as possible helps establish long-term financial security. These tips can help young professionals manage their money more effectively. · Take a money management course.

Young professionals may be tired of heading to class or making the grade at this point in life, but educating oneself about some of the basic rules of personal finance can help bridge knowledge gaps in this arena. Many young adults have never been taught the basics of applying for credit and staying out of debt. If you’ve been riding your parents’ financial coattails throughout school, now is the time to learn more, whether it’s through an online course or reading up on the subject. · Set SMART goals. The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant,

AI: Schools navigate benefits of new technology

White Bear Lake Schools

Included in the White Bear Lake Area Schools’ Technology Department’s Strategic Plan is the facilitation of districtwide conversations about AI to develop board policy. Also included in the plan is training and guidelines for teachers, administrators and students.

According to staff members within the district, these conversations stem from a belief in leveraging AI as a collaborative partner and transformative tool that enhances learning and cultivates flexible, critical thinking and a commitment to ethical AI practices that promote privacy, security, access, equity, integrity,

because we want to catch them doing it, more because we want to guide them on what not to do.”

According to the student handbook, staff may use AI detection tools as part of their grading process.

Once students demonstrate the ability to consistently move their critical thinking to a paper, be able to make claims and support them with evidence, Reetz said then the conversation should move to how AI can be used to support or enhance critical thinking.

“I don’t want it to replace student work before they know how to write and think critically,” Reetz added. “Your writing is essentially the communication of this critical thinking that you’ve been engaged in.”

He also added that students need to be taught how to ensure the research provided to them by AI is accurate. Teachers are also helping students understand that not everything AI produces is a reliable resource.

Mounds View High School

The district addresses the topic of AI in its student handbook. Under “Academic Dishonesty,” it reads that at Mounds View High School “we are committed to guiding responsible, safe and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through the development of clear AI guidelines that support both teachers and students to engage with, innovate and make informed decisions.”

“We created this based on our understanding on how kids are using it and wanting to create more clarity for them,” said Mounds View High School Principal Rob Reetz. “Less

“By instilling a strong ethical foundation now, we have the opportunity to support students to take academic risks while harnessing the potential of AI,” she explained.

This work falls within the district’s strategy of ensuring the district’s organization continuously transforms to fulfill its mission, and will continue this school year.

IN THE MATTER OF THE CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN LAND

www.presspubs.com

TO: THE DISTRICT COURT ABOVE NAMED The County of Ramsey brings this Petition and respectfully states and alleges: I. That this proceeding is taken pursuant to law in the name of and on behalf of the County of Ramsey, State of Minnesota, by John J. Choi, the duly elected, qualified and acting County Attorney, at the request of the Board of County Commissioners of Ramsey County, as shown by County Board Resolution No. B2021-040, dated February 16, 2021, a certified copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof.

II. That the County of Ramsey also deems it necessary, expedient, and for a public use and purpose to obtain by “quick take” condemnation under the right of eminent domain the permanent easements and temporary construction easements in the lands as described in this Petition, together with all structures, trees, shrubs, grass and herbage to be damaged thereby.

III. In the attached Exhibit B, where “fee title” is identified, the interest being conveyed is fee simple title.

IV. In the attached Exhibit B, where a “permanent easement” is identified, the interests being conveyed include all rights necessary for the construction, operation, and maintenance of all public right-of-way and utility uses now known or adopted in the future. Such rights include, but are not limited to, the right: to remove and use all plants, trees, ground cover, and natural growth now existing, or later planted or grown; to permanently grade or alter the grade of the land, and to remove and use all earth and other material not reasonably necessary for lateral and subjacent support; to limit or allow the location, number, and related characteristics of access from the remainder property to the public right-of-way; to store equipment or supplies; to access, both ingress and egress, from the most reasonably convenient rights-of-way; to remove any physical improvements or fixtures that interfere with its use as a public right-of-way; and to exclude from the area any use or improvement that conflicts with the rights conveyed herein. Reasonable and convenient access to the remainder will be maintained.

V. In the attached Exhibit B, where a “temporary easement” is identified, the interests being conveyed include all rights of possession and use, for a limited period of time, necessary or incidental to support the related construction project, including the right: to stage equipment or supplies; to access other portions of the construction project; to make minimal permanent alterations to the grade of the land that do not substantially impact the remainder; to remove (and restore in substantially similar condition) any plants, ground cover, or physical improvements; to access, both ingress and egress, from the most reasonably convenient rights-of-way; and to install any temporary improvements. Reasonable and convenient access to the remainder will be maintained. The term of the temporary easement shall be for 24 months beginning on March 1, 2025 and ending March 1, 2027, or for 24 months from the date when granted pursuant to order of the district court, whichever is later. In addition, the interests identified in this paragraph include the option of the Petitioner to extend the temporary easement for up to two six-month terms to be held consecutive to the original term and to each other at the monthly rate determined for the initial term.

VI. Personal property not specifically identified as being acquired, including, but not limited to, fencing, irrigation systems, pavement, curbing, or signage, or trees, shrubs, plants, or ground covering, is not included in this petition, except to the extent the above rights provide for the removal, replacement, use, or repair of such property. It is the intention of the Petitioner to address any claim of damage related to personal property destroyed, removed, lost, or otherwise damaged, but not repaired or replaced in substantially similar condition, in accordance with applicable relocation laws, including Minn. Stat. § 117.50 - .56 or the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and any regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

VII. That the purpose for which said interests in land described in this Petition are being acquired is for the widening, addition to and realignment of County Road D for the purpose of public travel and transportation and related uses.

VIII. The taking in this matter is to obtain rights sufficient to support the construction and maintenance of a public highway, including related facilities.

Unless specifically identified, pre-existing utility, pipeline, access, and other easements or interests shall remain in full force and effect and shall only be impaired to the extent necessary for the County of Ramsey to construct and maintain a public highway, and related uses, on the land being acquired.

For any parcel being taken by this condemnation proceeding that is subject to pre-existing utility, pipeline, access, or other easements or interests, the County of Ramsey shall work as needed with the easement holder to adjust facilities to accommodate the construction or to adjust construction plans to minimize related damages.

IX. It is the intent of the Petitioner that reasonable access, in at least one direction, to the main thoroughfare will be maintained for any remaining interest of a property from which a permanent or temporary easement is taken.

X. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, should tests or evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of the County of Ramsey indicate the possible presence of pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous substances on any of the property described in this Petition, the County of Ramsey reserves the right to defer effecting the transfer of the interest to any of the property as described herein for a reasonable time until the County of Ramsey can evaluate whether it wishes to proceed with the taking, abandon these proceedings and dismiss the Petition as to said property, or otherwise respond to such information.

Further, the County of Ramsey reserves the right to recover costs of cleanup and testing and all other damages resulting from the presence of pollutants, contaminates, or hazardous substances on the property described herein, from all potentially responsible parties in a separate legal action.

Stat.

Section 549.211 to the party against whom the allegations in this pleading are asserted. /s/ Scott Schwahn Scott Schwahn EXHIBIT A RAMSEY COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION B2021-040 Sponsor: Public Works Meeting Date: 2/16/2021 Title: 2021 - 2025 Transportation Improvement Program File Number: 2021-037 Background and Rationale: In order to qualify for state and federal funding and to proceed with construction projects, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners must approve the Public Works 5-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a planning document and funding estimates identified in the TIP are reflected in the County’s Capital Improvements Program Budget. Similar programs havebeen developed each year since 1988.

The Public Works Department, annually, prepares the TIP using a collaborative process whereby the County solicits projects and input from area municipalities. Project inclusion in the TIP is based on a cooperative dialogue with municipal and state partners, along with technical analysis and consideration of funding opportunities. While funding limits will continue to challenge program delivery, communication and engagement with municipal partners ensures local needs and prioritiesare examined and addressed to the extent possible.

Projects included in the TIP are also looked at through the lens of the Ramsey County All Abilities Transportation Network (AATN) policy, which prioritizes the most vulnerable users (i.e. pedestrians, bicyclists, people with disabilities) first.

The design, construction and right of way costs identified in the TIP are estimates based on best practices in the industry. The funding landscape for transportation projects can be volatile and the ultimate delivery of the TIP is dependent on future funding levels. Partnering on projects with area communities, bordering counties, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and other state agencies will continue to be a critical way for Ramsey County to get the most from our available funds.

Recommendation: The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners resolved to: 1. Adopt the 2021-2025 Public Works Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

2. Authorize the County Engineer to prepare plans and agreements for all projects identified in the TIP, and to issue solicitations in accordance with County policies and procedures and the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s list of “Pre-Qualified Vendors by Work Type”.

3. Authorize the County Engineer to execute Right of Way Plats and Certificate of Surveys for Highway projects that require the determination of existing right of way for the delineation and /oracquisition of property, for planning studies or disposition of excess County property.

4. Authorize the County Manager to enter into contracts and agreements, and execute change orders and amendments to contracts, supplemental agreements, and agreements related to theexpenditure of TIP Project Funds utilizing County State Aid, Federal, and participating funding associated with the construction of the approved projects in the 2021-2025 or a previously approved TIP in accordance with the County’s procurement policies and procedures.

5. Authorize the County Engineer and County Attorney to acquire temporary easements, permanent easements, fee title, and enter into Limited Use Permits with the State of Minnesota for projects in the 2021-2025 TIP, or previously approved TIP, by negotiation or condemnation.

6. Authorize the County Engineer to approve negotiated settlements for up to $100,000 over the County’s appraised value per parcel for temporary and permanent easements and fee title.

7. Authorize the County Manager to approve and execute purchase agreements, settlements, closing documents, Limited Use Permits, and other related real estate documentation associated with County Board approved acquisitions of real property.

8. Authorize the County Manager to approve and execute cooperative agreements and maintenance agreements with cities, counties, the State, and other governmental agencies for their participation in projects listed in the 2021-2025 Public Works TIP or previously approved TIP. 9. Authorize temporary cash loans from the County General Fund to the Road and Bridge Capital Improvement Program fund and the Wheelage Tax fund for costs of projects listed in the 2021-2025 Public Works Transportation Program, or previously approved TIP, and for maintenance project expenditures occurring before bond or wheelage tax proceeds are received pending receipt of Federal, County State Aid Highway, State, participating funds.

A motion to approve was made by Commissioner McGuire, seconded by Commissioner MatasCastillo.

Motion passed.

Bear girls XC team wins close section, heads for state

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

After White Bear Lake girls cross county won an extremely close section meet, their coach Bear alum Audrey Kirschlng, was asked how long it’s been since that happened — a question she could easily answer.

“The last time White Bear won sections was in 2017, my senior year on the team! This was RON ENGH | CONTRIBUTED also the last time White Bear The section champs, from left: Isla Bloomquist, Amelia Nachtsheim, Logan has come in first at a meet,” Bailey, Brynn Heinsohn, Anna Rogers, Clara Kolstad, and Erika Milhofer.

Kirschling said. and Tartan 214. tabulated the results.

So the Bears, who placed Kirschling said the Bears “Then they just all started third in their conference a week prevailed by “working as a screaming and cheering,” said earlier, had not won a meet in team and using each other Logan Bailey, the Bears’ lead seven years but figured they as a momentum.

Bears have 4 qualifiers for boys x-country

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake had three of the top eight runners and four state qualifiers, but just missed qualifying as a team in the Section 4AAA cross country meet.

Vaughn Larson, the Bears senior leader, placed second in 15:57.8, just behind Stillwater senior Dylan Riniker in 15:55.7, to earn his fourth state trip.

Bear junior Max Popp was seventh in 16:24, junior Isaac Kolstad eighth in 16:24.9, and senior Andrew Greene 15th in 16:38, all qualifying for the state run Saturday at 1 p.m., at the University of Minnesota Golf Course.

Their fifth score was sophomore Graham Newlander in 21st in 17:08.

Stillwater had four of the top ten runners and won with 30 points. Two Rivers scored 47 and the Bears 53. The top two advance.

“Two Rivers just

had more depth than us at the five through seven spots,” assessed Dan Kovacich, Bears coach. “The boys gave it everything they had.

We were just beaten by two better teams.”

The Section 4AAA field was quite strong with Stillwater ranked fifth, Two Rivers seventh and the Bears ninth. The state meet has 16 teams. “Being ranked, and not be in the state meet as a team, is a hard pill to swallow, but I was

proud of the boys today,” Kovacich said.

Larson, who placed sixth last year, battled Riniker, a familiar rival, all 5,000 meters.

“We were off and on in the last track season,” Larson said. “He got me the first two meets this year. I beat him last week in the conference.

I thought I was going to kind of sit back and kick at the end like I did at the conference, but he just had more than me at the end.”

BRUCE STRAND | CONTRIBUTED

Long-striding Vaughn Larson (393) bolted away from the starting line on the way to a second-place section finish. He will run in his fourth state meet.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Amelia Nachtsheim White Bear Lake Cross Country Amelia Nachtsheim is a White Bear Lake captain in three sports and she’s going to the state meet with one of those teams, cross country, on Saturday. The lone senior in the top seven, Nachtsheim helped the Bears win a close Section 4AAA meet by placing 11th a week after making all-conference, placing 17th in the strong SEC field. She is also co-captain in Nordic Ski and track-and-field. “I’ve seen a dramatic change in our team culture because of her ability to reach younger athletes and make them feel a part of the team,” said Audrey Kirschling, her coach in CC and track. As a runner, she “ worked extremely hard to get to where she is now.”

Amelia Nachtsheim

The Bears will be one of 16 teams running in the Class 3A girls meet starting 12:15 p.m.

Saturday at the University of Minnesota Golf Course.

Bailey, a freshman, placed second in 18:43 behind East Ridge senior Lydia Franson (18:36). Bailey is turning in the Bears’ best times since allstater Maggie Blanding in 2017.

She is daughter of former Bear standout Brian Bailey, now the coach of the Roseville Area boys.

She is also a hockey player.

The Bears got a big boost from seventh-grader Isla Bloomquist finishing ninth in 19:37. “She is just learning how to run the race, the whole race,” Kirschling said. Following were senior Amelia Nachtsheim, 11th in 19:45; sophomore Clara Kolstad, 17th in 20:39.8; sophomore Erika Milhofer, 21st in 21:01.2; seventh-grader Anna Rogers, 28th in 21:26; and junior Brynn Heinsohn, 31st in 21:32.

The Zephyr trio will run Saturday at the University of Minnesota Golf Course, with girls at 10 a.m. and boys at 10:45 a.m.

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

It was a rough year for Mahtomedi football.

The Zephyrs finished 3-7 after last week’s sectionals when they beat St. Paul Central 2824 at home Tuesday and lost to Cretin-Derham Hall 40-7 in St. Paul on Saturday.

This marked just the second losing season in the last four decades for Mahtomedi. One of the reasons was at least a half-dozen dingedup players watching in street clothes, five of them on crutches.

Asked how many starters were out, coach Dave Muetzel said, “I don’t know, I’ve lost count. A lot.”

In the win over Central, extra points and interceptions were the keys. Each team had four touchdowns, but the Zephyrs were 4-for-4 on conversions by their female kicker Harlow Berger, while Central was 0-for-4.

The Zephyrs stopped a kick (blocked by Jacob Sokoll), two runs and a pass. Meanwhile, interceptions by Joey Pipes, Mark Graff, and Luke Torgrude slowed down Central’s air game that produced 203 yards and two TD’s.

Mahtomedi’s highlight was a 66yard score on a perfect deep pass from Connor Finn to a wide-open Pipes. The other TD’s were runs by Moseh Mouacheupao (one yard), Gavin Kruse (two yards) and Graff (nine yards). Kruse gained 95 yards in 21 carries. Central’s Allan Lankford passed to Rayon Grigsby and Charles Logan for TD’s, and Lankford and Lavonte Cox scored on runs.

Cretin-Derham Hall (5-4), which beat the Zephyrs 33-7 in conference, led 33-0 at halftime in the rematch. Trevor Rogosheske got Mahtomedi’s TD on a late one-yard run.

The Zephyrs had 66 yards rushing and 64 passing. Finn was 3-for-18 for 39 yards.

Mouacheupao gained 30 yards on nine rushes.

Graff intercepted a pass and Zach Halvorson recovered a fumble.

Bears done after first round of playoffs

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake’s football season ended with a 47-19 loss to No. 3 ranked Edina in the first round of state Class 6A playoffs. The Bears had a final 3-6 record.

Edina (7-2) rolled up 537 yards, including a 99-yard drive after Malik Doumbia of the Bears deftly downed a punt just outside the goal line, and later a 99-yard pass play from Mason West to Meyer Swinney.

The Bears got a seven-yard touchdown by Porter Cleary after trailing 27-0. They scored the last

Zephyrs in section volleyball finals Mahtomedi has reached the Section 4AAA volleyball finals for the fourth straight season after defeating St. Paul Johnson 25-10, 25-4, 25-8 and Chisago Lakes 25-22, 25-9, 25-14. The top-seeded Zephyrs (24-4), aiming for their third straight trip to state, will host No. 6 seed Hill-Murray in the finals Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Hill-Murray (5-21) upset St. Anthony Village 25-23, 26-24, 25-19 in the semifinals.

POLITICAL BRIEF Minnesota voters can vote on state constitutional amendment

On November 5, Minnesota voters will have the opportunity to vote on a new state constitutional amendment. The amendment will extend the transfer of proceeds from the state-operated lottery to the state’s Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund through December 31, 2050. It will also increase the amount of money spent each year from 5.5 to 7% of the fund’s market value; the remaining 1.5% will fund a grant program. Additionally, the amendment would repeal language that authorized loans of up to 5% of the fund principal for water system improvements and add language to prohibit fund use to repay the principal or interest of any bonds or costs related to the construction, repair, improvement or operation of any facility or system that processes wastewater.

Funds for research related to wastewater will also be authorized.

Annual Scarecrow Trail a fixture of family-friendly, Halloween fun

BY ERIK SUCHY STAFF WRITER

Vadnais Heights residents in the mood for family-friendly Halloween delight can look no further than Community Park. That fun comes in the form of the city’s annual Scarecrow Trail, currently being featured from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1 in the park.

The trail has been an ongoing fall tradition in the city for four years. Attendance is free to residents and local businesses, as is contributing an entry.

Both residents and businesses that wish to contribute a scarecrow entry must submit a form to the city that details the scarecrow’s intended design. All participants must set up their scarecrow designs on site; entries must also labeled with a name tag listing the name of the person/organization behind the entry.

Residents can also vote for online for the entry they think is the best.

According to Recreation and Facilities Manager Katie Everett, the trail was initially created during the COVID-19 pandemic after the city’s annual Halloween Party was canceled.

“It was a nice way to celebrate fall festivities while people could be out safely to do it on their own,” said Everett.

“They liked doing it, so it stuck.”

This year’s trail will involve many entries from returning local businesses, including Gable Pines Senior Living, the Vadnais Heights Lions Club, Merrick Inc. and Boy Scout troops 9212 and 7212. New businesses this year include Oak Grove Knowledge Beginnings and Frandsen Bank and Trust.

“It’s all about what you have to use and your imagination,” said Vadnais Heights Lions Club member Eileen Schirer. The club has participated in designing scarecrows for the trail since the beginning; their current submission is called The Sisters, featuring both a jack-o’-lantern and Frankenstein mock-up.

Both scarecrows are made from numerous household items and clothing to make up the final product.

“The dresses we got from a garage sale,” said Schirer, “and added the sweaters for their flesh. The hands are salad tongs, and the hats are from my children when they

were much younger!”

According to Schirer, both scarecrows are reused from the club’s 2023 submission. Last year’s design, described by Schirer as “more elaborate,” involved a wooden house containing three pigs, with both scarecrows dressed as farmers. Fellow club member Kathy Hellen is excited about the current trail’s setup. “This is the fun of being part of a community that’s larger than yourself,” noted Hellen.

Merrick Inc., a nonprofit organization that works with adults with developmental disabilities, is another returning business. “The clients really enjoy being a part of the community this way,” said Elizabeth Wolf, “so we’re back

again this year!”

Wolf works as the company’s greenhouse coordinator and leads classes on horticulture and agriculture, among other topics. In designing this year’s scarecrow, Wolf enlisted fellow worker Alyssa Mercado, a direct support professional (DSP) trainer, and several adults with whom the two work one-on-one at the organization.

Like the Lions Club, Merrick Inc.’s design is a scaled-back setup from previous years.

The organization’s 2022 submission featured a mock-up of Shaggy, Scooby-Doo and ScrappyDoo being chased by a scarecrow. This year, the design features a headless scarecrow with

a pumpkin head. “Seeing the different submissions is so much fun,” said Wolf. “To go on a walk and see all the creativity in the community is pretty awesome.”

After doing so for the first time last year, Gables Pines Senior Living will also participate in the trail.

“Last year was our learning year,” joked Memory Care Director Kassie Pyka, who is working with Life Enrichment Director Carey Shilts to bring the company’s submission to life. While the group’s previous submission merely featured a female scarecrow with a pumpkin head, Pyka said this year’s design was created to match a favorite senior activity more closely. “One of the most loved activities at Gable Pines is cribbage,” said Pyka, “so that is what we have here.”

One of the two scarecrows will also be wearing an Alzheimer’s Awareness T-shirt.

The organization has previously sold the T-shirts, and participated in this year’s Walk To End Alzheimer’s in Minneapolis. “I didn’t get a chance to walk the trail last year, so this year, I will definitely be doing that!” said Pyka.

The trail officially opened on October 24 and will run through November 1 at Community Park at 641 East County Road F.

Sailor writes novel based on experiences

The Press recently spoke with local author and sailor, Marlin Bree. Bree’s latest book “fangssS” will be his 26th and part of the Climate Change Chronicles.

Q: Tell me about yourself.

A: I’m a former editor with the Minneapolis Tribune and an amateur boat builder. I built a woodveneer and epoxy sailboat (that) took seven years.

The sailboat was for many decades a familiar sight, merrily bounding about on White Bear Lake. I have just turned 91.

Q: What inspired you to write ‘fangssS’ A: It began with an incident on Lake Superior. As I sailed my 20-foot wooden sloop across the U.S./

LIQUOR STORE: Customers, community members help business relocate history of Ciresi’s.

“White Bear Lake is such a nice little town,” said Patel. “The history of the business, when I looked into it, is that it’s been there for over 70 years.

That’s what got me into buying it.”

When Patel moved locations, he received help from no fewer than 35 customers and members of the community, all of whom were eager to help him move. “We all got it moved in about six to seven hours,” noted Patel.

“One of my clients had a forklift they put everything into, which they drove

to the lot. I don’t have the correct vocabulary to describe that feeling.”

One notable voice of support Patel has received came from Anna and Rich’s daughter Jennifer Bohaty, ERIK SUCHY | PRESS PPUBLICATION who has noted Hardik Patel parallels in Patel’s journey to her grandparents’ original founding of Ciresi’s.

“Both my grandparents and Hardik had dreams of opening their own business,” said Bohaty. “Hardik is living it out like my parents and grandparents did. He knows that hard work, dedication, community and connection will make him successful in the end.”

Patel said that he hopes his store can help keep the spirit of Ciresi’s alive for new generations. “I want this to continue for the next 100 years,” said Patel. “I’d like to pass it down to my kids, too. The history of White Bear Lake should be passed on from one generation to the next.”

Erik Suchy is a staff writer at Press Publications. To reach him, please contact him by phone at 651-407-1229 or email at whitebearnews@presspubs. com.
