Public safety contract: Attorney suggests ‘possibility of litigation’ said City Manager Lindy Crawford. “The city’s position, which is supported by the contract, is simply that all jurisdictions within the fire service area should pay an equitable share of the costs required to provide the high-quality, effective fire services that White Bear Lake offers.”

The city of White Bear Lake’s fire service area includes approximately 38,000 people from the city, township, Birchwood Village, Dellwood and Gem Lake. The city also provides police services to Gem Lake.

The total bond issue (principal and interest) for the new public safety building amounts to $25,864,966 to be paid over a 20-year period. Of that, the

The city of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township are in the middle of a contract dispute dealing with what the township is expected to pay for the new public safety building.

“Pursuant to the city’s longstanding service contract with White Bear Township, the city invoices the township annually for its proportionate share of costs associated with operating the city’s fire department, which includes emergency medical services (EMS).

Those invoices include the township’s fair share of fire department building costs,”

five communities will be responsible for approximately $12.8 million.

Each year, the city of White Bear Lake is required to provide notice about what the following year’s cost of services will be to each community.

On Aug. 29, 2023, the city of White Bear Lake mailed a letter and breakdown of the 2024 budget to the township. Per the letter, the calculation of what the township owes takes half of the total bond principal and interest for the project attributed to the fire operations, reduces the total by $100,000 (already collected during the 2023 contract payments) and

‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ comes to Mahtomedi High School

BY ERIK SUCHY STAFF WRITER

What do you get when you mix ancient Greece, an enchanted fairy-inhabited forest and big laughs from one of the most renowned playwrights of the 16th century? You get William Shakespeare’s classic comedic tale, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which will be performed at Mahtomedi High School later this month.

The play, set in Athens, focuses on different subplots surrounding the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers.

Another follows a group of six actors rehearsing a play to be performed before the wedding, only to find themselves in the company of magical fairies who manipulate them for their own desires.

“Shakespeare wrote for all of us,” said Dennis Joslyn, who has been the

Local wildlife on the move PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Some young deer were recently spotted around sunset grazing in a yard near Highway 244 in Mahtomedi. The start of the Minnesota firearm deer hunting season has added an additional reason to drive with caution on area roads.

With more deer being spotted on the move and crossing roadways at this time of year, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety offers some tips that include; drive at safe speeds and be especially cautious from 6 - 9 p.m., when deer are most active. Use high beams as much as possible at night, especially in deer-active areas and don’t swerve to avoid a deer.

OPINION www.presspubs.com

NOVEMBER 13, 2024

y husband and I recently welcomed another four-legged member into our family. Meet Tinsel, a 4-year-old shepherd mix, from FaerieLand Rescue. Although I haven’t adopted a dog from the organization before, the rescue has always had a special place in my heart because it focuses on German shepherds and corgis, two of my favorite breeds. My mother’s dog Princess, who just celebrated her 7th birthday, is from FaerieLand.

I’ve been following Tinsel’s rescue story since she arrived at the rescue last January, a month after we had to say goodbye to our beloved Frosty who had degenerative myelopathy. Tinsel was rescued from a reservation. Shortly after her arrival, it was discovered that she was pregnant. She had her puppies, and her puppies were all adopted, Shannon’s but she was still waiting patiently Shenanigans for a home she could call her own.

In mid-October the rescue posted Shannon on its social media that Tinsel was still available and looking for Granholm her “furever” home. She stole my heart from the minute I saw her.

But my husband Patrick and I already have our hands full with a toddler and two other pups. I kept trying to find reasons why it wouldn’t work: What if she doesn’t’ get along with our dogs? What if she doesn’t like an unpredictable one-and-a-half year old following her around everywhere? What if she doesn’t like going to car shows?

But then I started thinking… What if she does?

What if the mama in her loves looking out for my little boy? What if she does get along with Twinkie and Tundra and they become best pals? What if she does like riding around in a VW bus and going to car shows and dog-friendly events?

I asked my husband if we could have her and he said, “I’m not saying no, but there is a lot we would have to figure out.”

Unbeknownst to my husband, I decided to meet up with her with my son Royce to see how she would do and she did great.

Then I met up with her again at a local park to see how she did with the pups and that went well too. I told him about it right after. He eventually warmed up to the idea of trying it out to see how it goes. Then he met her and fell in love too like I knew he would.

We agreed to foster Tinsel with the intent of adopting her. It took less than a week to know she was going to fit into our family just fine.

I can’t help but feel like she was meant for us.

Something about her just drew me to her and I knew we had to have her. That happened with Tundra too.

Too perfect to pass up.

I can’t explain it because there have been several other dogs who have crossed my social media feed that I thought were adorable, but I never had the urge to figure out how to make them a part of our family. Perhaps our sweet angel Frosty sent her to us.

One day while I was working, Tinsel sat down beside me and placed her paw right over my hand on top of the paw print ring I have made of Frosty’s ashes. If that’s not a sign I don’t know what is.

I never thought we would have three dogs again, but it sure is nice to see a shepherd in our home again. Twinkie, Tundra and Tinsel sure is a tonguetwister though.

O

Talking deer collisions with U of M

n the first Sunday of November each year in the United States, clocks “fall back” one hour with the end of daylight saving time and usher in the shorter, darker days of the winter months.

This adjustment has serious implications beyond the loss of sunlight: research shows that the end of daylight saving time brings a 16% rise in vehicle and deer Movers & collisions in the week following.

Shakers Ron Moen, a wildlife biologist Ron Moen at the Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI), associate professor in UMD’s Swenson College of Science and Engineering and scholar in the Center for Transportation Studies, discusses how deer collisions affect Minnesota drivers and how we can all stay safer as the seasons change.

the true number of DVCs in Minnesota is at least 10 times higher, and maybe up to 20 times higher. The cost of time and money for repairs to the vehicle after a collision is high, but — particularly when injuries or fatalities happen — there is a significant emotional cost on top of the financial costs of a DVC.

Q: What contributes to the rise in deer collisions with the end of daylight saving time?

A: The rise in DVCs observed

at the end of daylight saving time is likely a combination of three main factors. On the deer behavior side, deer are typically more active around dusk and dawn, and deer also move more in the fall than at other times of the year. On the human side, when we end daylight savings time, the peak commute hour coincides with dusk, which means there are a lot of people driving right at the time that there are a lot of active deer.

Q: What steps can drivers take to Q: How do deer collisions affect avoid deer collisions?

Minnesota drivers?

A: Driver speed and driver awareness are key. If you drive A: The effect of a deer-vehicle collision (DVC) on drivers varies.

While most DVCs only cause property damage, collisions can cause an injury or, even worse, a fatality. About 1,300 DVCs have been reported to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety in recent years, but our data, and data from insurance claims, suggests

at the speed limit, particularly in areas where you commonly see deer, you’ll have more time to react if you see a deer and therefore more time to avoid hitting the deer. It is also important for drivers to maintain awareness of your surroundings. You should consciously watch for deer as you’re driv-

ing, and if you see a deer, anticipate that it could move into the roadway. Especially if one deer crosses the road, a second or third deer may follow.

Q: How is the U of M improving knowledge on deer collisions?

A: Deer-vehicle collisions have

a tremendous financial and emotional cost for the citizens of Minnesota. My team at the U of M has been working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to gather data on all the DVCs reported in the past 20 years to predict roadway corridors and specific sections of those corridors that are particularly risky for DVCs. This provides insight into what factors — such as adjacent land use and speed limit — along with other roadway characteristics are particularly risky for DVCs. This project was a first step to evaluate the overall effect of DVCs on Minnesota drivers — the last study created from Minnesota data was published in 2003. Since then we’ve had over 40,000 DVCs reported to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, which, given our estimates of the reporting rate, add up to several hundred thousand DVCs in actuality. If our project helps reduce DVCs by even one half of a percent, it would more than pay for itself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Managing our food waste

A big shout-out to the Vadnais Heights Lions, who conducted their fall waffle breakfast as a “wastefree” event. In partnership with the Vadnais Heights Green Team, Scout Troops 7212 and 9212 and the city of Vadnais Heights, the event was able to divert over 200 lbs of organic waste from going into a landfill.

By using compostable plates and utensils, all the food and waste could be composted! The city provided the composting and recycling stations; the Scouts cleared the tables, ensuring the waste items were disposed of properly; and the Green Team provided the guidance and education to attendees on what was compostable, recyclable versus trash.

We heard many positive comments from attendees who were appreciative of the efforts of the Lions to be sustainable at the event. The event served 775 people, showing all of us that we too can hold waste-free events. And with the holidays coming up, we should all be thinking about how we will manage our food waste.

A big thank you to election volunteer, first responders

My wife and I arrived at the White Bear Lake City Hall to vote on Election Day morning. After waiting in the line outside, we were inside, at the head of the line and about to start voting when my wife became faint and collapsed.

A volunteer election worker named Carol immediately intervened and gave great assistance until the White Bear Lake first responders arrived. A young man of the first responders team immediately began taking vital signs in the City Hall and more in the emergency vehicle.

When it was determined that my wife’s condition was not serious, Carol took me back to the head of the line and personally escorted me through the voting process and then took me out to the emergency vehicle where my wife was waiting.

We should all be thankful and proud of the volunteers we have like Carol, and of the first responders we have in White Bear Lake.

Richard Dostal White Bear Lake

Thank you, Mayor Krachmer

Craig Johnson wrote that those who serve in public office should not be worried about how much they earn.

I disagree. Money does help attract those who we want to serve on City Council and as Mayor. Craig wrote that the mayor spends 3.5 hours for Council meetings and that same amount to prepare, twice a month.

Also noted: Mayor Mike is available on the 4th Monday at Perkins to have breakfast with any constituents who want to discuss an issue. Mayor Mike has office hours on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month to hear people’s concerns. I would like to add that Mayor Mike came

to the Halloween Party for the kids on Friday, in costume and thanked all of the volunteers. He attended the Scarecrow Walk and chose the Mayor’s Award. He attended the Green Team’s Adopt-A-Drain event on Saturday, Oct. 26 and spent over 1.5 hours cleaning drains. He has adopted a drain in his neighborhood and checks on it consistently. Mike was seen walking on Koehler Road to check out the construction project and chat with homeowners. Mayor Mike shared this much time just in October and is given only $625 per month. Yes, he deserves a raise.

This is public service

I don’t know how past Council Members and Mayors have done the job, but I do know how the current Mayor (Mike Krachmer) serves Vadnais Heights. For twice-monthly Council meetings, he reads 300+ pages of material and researches all the topics well enough to ask pertinent questions and lead and make decisions. He meets 2-3 times per month with the City Administrator and other staff.

Monthly, he attends the Planning Commission and Regional Council of Mayors meetings. Bimonthly, he meets with 7 local Mayors. He also meets about development projects and the hiring and managing of consultants.

During his first two years, he attended 30 hours of emergency preparedness training, 120 hours of training and two 3-day League of Minnesota Cities conferences to understand the role of local government.

He creates access to local government for all residents through a monthly Breakfast with the Mayor event, twice-monthly office hours, conversation time before each Music in the Park event, and attendance at quarterly Senior Lunches, Vadnais Heights Days, and Scarecrow Trail events. In addition to scheduled meetings and education, the Mayor receives notification about fires, crimes, and other emergencies and he researches and responds to all calls and letters from residents.

The current Mayor and City Council members are trying to recover from past inadequate funding for infrastructure. They are focused on the needs of Vadnais Heights and its residents (housing, homelessness, safe and professional public safety services, environmental safety, property and business development) over the next 50 years, not their next paycheck or next election.

The description I’ve provided here is how I personally define public service, rather than by the salary paid for this part-time role. By the way, even with the upcoming raise, the time the Mayor invests in this role will still pay less than the hourly wage of a newly hired staffer at McDonalds!

CONTRACT DISPUTE: City hopes to resolve promptly, continue services FROM PAGE 1

divides the remaining amount by 20 years.

For 2024, the township is expected to pay $516,670 — $182,316 of that for the building and $334,354 for fire and EMS services.

Per the city’s contract with the township, the fire services formula considers nine items, including “the cost of fire department buildings depreciated over the asset’s useful life.”

The township does not agree that it has to pay the interest portion on the debt service.

Township Attorney Chad Lemmons said, “Considering the distinct possibility of litigation— actually, more than distinct—there’s no comment we can make at this time.” Lemmons added that Gem Lake, Birchwood and Dellwood “are talking.”

Back in August, Lemmons told the town board that interest is calculated “in a straight-line depreciation of equipment and buildings over their useful life.”

The dispute largely centers around whether the new public safety building is included in that depreciation. If it is not, he says township residents will have to pay roughly $4 million extra over the next 20 years. Town Supervisor Steve Ruzek noted the township was not “dissatisfied with the service” but rather just wanted to discuss the contract.

The city and township currently have a five-year contract that runs through Jan. 1, 2028. Per

the contract, if the contracting jurisdiction “fails to timely pay” for fire services, the city can terminate the contract as long as it provides 120-days notice.

Crawford said the city has not served a notice of termination, but it has “reminded the township” of its contract obligations. “We have no desire to stop serving them,” she said. “We have always enjoyed a good relationship with them. We want to continue to do that. We want to keep serving them.”

As of last week, Crawford confirmed that the township has agreed to pay the principal portion of what it owes for 2024, which equates to $118,506, leaving $63,810 of interest outstanding. Gem Lake has paid only the principal portion, $5,812, while Dellwood and Birchwood have each paid their total bill for 2024.

“The city takes its responsibility to provide fire and EMS services very seriously, and has traditionally enjoyed a positive relationship with each community it serves,” Crawford said. “We hope to resolve this dispute promptly and continue providing the highest quality service to our neighbors in White Bear Township because when it comes to a fire or medical emergency, every second counts, and there is no fire department in the area better prepared than White Bear Lake Fire to respond.”

IN THE MATTER OF THE CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN LAND

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.

XI. That a party wishing to challenge the public use or public purpose, necessity, or authority for a taking must appear at the hearing of this Court at which the County of Ramsey, as Petitioner, shall present this Petition to the Court and state the objection or must appeal within 60 days of a Court order.

XII. That the land in these proceedings to be taken are situated in Ramsey County, Minnesota and are more particularly described in attached Exhibit B which is made a part hereof.

XIII. The County of Ramsey hereby moves the court for an order transferring title and possession of the parcels described herein prior to filing of an award by the court appointed commissioners, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 117.042.

WHEREFORE, the County of Ramsey prays for an order of this Court as follows: 1. Adjudging that said taking is for a public purpose, is necessary, and is authorized by law; and 2. It be further adjudged that the County of Ramsey is entitled to take and hold such property for the public use pursuant to the Notice of Intent to Take Possession, on file with this Court; and 3.

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.

having been selected for the ninth and 10th Grade Honor Choirs in previous years. In addition to her achievements as a vocalist, she serves as the student assistant director for Zephyr Express, Mahtomedi High School’s a cappella ensemble. Her commitment to music education is also evident in her attendance at a recent conference aimed at inspiring future music educators.

“Ada’s selection for the National Honor Choir is a remarkable achievement that highlights her dedication and talent,” said Chad Garrels, director of choral activities at Mahtomedi High School. “We are incredibly proud of her, and look forward to seeing her shine on this national stage.”

The Honor Choir will rehearse in Dallas, Texas, during the National ACDA Conference on March 20 and 21, for a performance on Ada Thompson Saturday, March 22, under the direction of renowned conductor Chris Maunu.

Weather Tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com

Frank Watson

We’ve had a mixed bag of weather events the past week. Some sun, some clouds and some rain. A few weather events that we’re missing out on are snow and cold. I don’t think too many people are complaining. I totaled 0.34” of rain on Nov. 4 and picked up an additional 0.25” over this weekend. It wasn’t a total washout this past weekend as much of Saturday was dry before a slowmoving surface sat on top of us much of Sunday, bringing us light rain through much of the daytime. White Bear Lake level update: September 1, 923.2 feet. November 11, 922.5 feet. Recent rains haven’t had much of an impact. Forecast calls for more of the same.

Some sun, some light rains and no snow or cold.

Although Shadrack has been acting since childhood, she admitted to not having mastered the “art of acting” until seventh grade, when she acted in a production of the Junie B. Jones book series.

Shadrack has performed in multiple different plays since then, such as “12 Angry Jurors,” “The Little Mermaid” and “Mean Girls”.

“I hope people can have a really good laugh when they see this,” said Shadrack. “Even if they don’t understand all the words being said, I hope they can get the gist of it through everyone’s body language, and I hope they laugh a lot.”

But the director and actors aren’t the only ones who regard the play highly. Junior Eve Porter, the assistant stage manager, marveled at

how hard the actors have practiced the material. “The actors are doing amazing jobs,” said Porter. “It’s Shakespeare, and it’s hard, but they’ve done so well with it. I think it’s a really awesome show altogether.”

Although Porter has been acting since first grade, she chose to take on her current role because of difficulty finding a balance between acting and production work.

“It’s hard for me to balance sometimes between acting and crew,” said Porter. “But I kind of just go with the flow on that one.”

As assistant stage manager, Porter focuses on helping actors with lines in case they are said incorrectly or forgotten.

Additionally, Porter is the props coordinator, where she will work backstage during performances to ensure that

props and other technical aspects of the show run smoothly.

Porter will also be featured in the school’s upcoming one-act play, “Soundscapes,” which will debut next February. The play will focus on a girl with synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon where the brain causes a person to experience more than one sense simultaneously. The play will also feature Shadrack, although Porter admits she does not yet know if she will be acting in it or reprising her position of assistant stage manager.

Joslyn said he hopes attendees will have a great time watching the play. “I hope the audience comes in a great mood and is ready to see the students and that they’re supportive,” said Joslyn.

“Once they sit down, they’re going to laugh and love the show. It’s going to be a fun night!”

The school’s performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 15 and 16 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 17. Tickets can be purchased at www. zephyrfinearts.ludus.com. ​Erik Suchy is a staff writer for Press Publications.

Local White Bear Lake skater performs in ‘Disney on Ice’

Q: Tell us about yourself.

A: My name is Izzi Gorowsky, I’m 23 years old and I

grew up on Coon Lake in Minnesota. I graduated from Mounds View High School in 2019. I skated at the White Bear Lake Sports Center and Parade Ice Garden in Minneapolis. Some of my other interests include traveling and exploring new cities, and painting and dancing!

Q: How long have you been skating?

A: I started skating when I was 4 years old and

took my first glide on the lake I grew up on. My parents keep an outdoor rink every winter. I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years now!

Q: What made you want to try figure skating?

A: A family tradition during Christmas was to have all my cousins over to skate and play hockey. I joined in and loved it! After that, I went out on the lake to skate as much as I could! One of my very first competitions was the White Bear Lake Holiday Open in 2009.

Spotlight, Dramatic and Interpretive. At age 12, I started choreographing all my own programs and the annual spring ice show was the highlight of every year. I’ve always been passionate about performing for an audience!

Q: Who will you play in the show?

A: I’m an ensemble skater, aerialist and understudy

for the roles of Belle and Elsa. I’m in the highenergy opening number of our show. I fly up to 30 feet in the air on aerial silks in the “Beauty and the Beast” segment. I’m also featured in the ensemble of “Aladdin” and as a Sea Anemone in “The Little Mermaid.” Our costumes are so unique and vibrant that you won’t be able to miss me out there!

Q: What has been your toughest challenge while performing for Disney?

A: Being away from home for months at a time can

Q: What part of the show are you most looking forward to?

the past 5 years I’ve had the amazing opportunity to see the world and perform in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland.

Q: What originally made you want to try out?

A: When I was 6 years old, I went to see my first

“Disney on Ice” show. I was so inspired that I would go every year when they came through town. I’ve always enjoyed the artistic side of skating, competing in events called Character

The Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation will recognize award winners at its annual dinner Nov. 14 at the Vadnais Commons.

Brian Deuel will receive the Keith Warner Standard of Excellence Award. Deuel is an audit director at the Roseville office of Olsen Thielen & Co. Ltd. The company is this year’s recipient of the Keith Warner Standard of Excellence Award.

“I feel very honored,” said Deuel of receiving the award. “We’ve been connected with the VHEDC since its inception in 1984. It’s good to be recognized for what our firm has been doing in the communities for years and years. It’s great as a first-time winner to be getting this award.”

Angela Lewis-Dmello

Angela Lewis-Dmello will receive the Community Partnership Award. Lewis-Dmello is the president and CEO of Northeast Youth and Family Services. The company is this year’s recipient of the Community Partnership Award. “I’m really honored,” said Lewis-Dmello of winning the award. “Northeast Youth and Family Services has a core value around being community-driven. We want to ensure that our services meet the needs of our community and that we’re constantly evolving to be more attuned and responsive to them.”

VADNAIS HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL NOTES • The city hired Michael Hannon, Jesse Heaton, Aiden Morris-Karl, Brandon Magliocco and Chase Smith as probationary paid-on-call (POC) firefighters. The five individuals will serve up to a 24-month probationary period, where they will be required to complete all necessary firefighter and emergency medical technician training. The individual’s compensation will be set at a probationary POC firefighter rate, with the potential to be moved to regular POC firefighter pay upon completing a satisfactory performance review.

• The city hired Sierra Hietala as its new program and event specialist. Hietala previously held several relevant positions, including recreation coordinator for the city of Little Canada and program lead and farmers market supervisor for the city of Elk River. Additionally, Hietala served as an outdoor education specialist at Glacier National Park in Montana. Hietala also holds a bachelor’s degree in recreation, parks and leisure services from Mankato State University, and has a Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) accreditation.

Hietala will serve a six-month introductory period, with compensation set at Grade 8, Step D. • The council approved city staff to use funds from the 425 Fund to purchase an infrared sauna for the city’s fire department. The fund was created to accept financial donations from the Vadnais Heights Fire Department Relief Association’s charitable gambling to the city.

These donations support the fire department by purchasing equipment that improves its efforts to better serve the city and its residents.

The department is requesting to purchase an infrared sauna, as it has been shown to have some health benefits for heart disease and high blood pressure. The total cost for the sauna will be $7,000; an additional $2,000 in installation costs will cover electrical work and fire sprinkler modifications.

• The city hired Andrew Horgan for the position of public service worker I. Horgan, who holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from St. John’s University, had previously worked in a seasonal capacity with White Bear Township’s Public Works Division for five years. Horgan will serve a six-month introductory period, with compensation set per the city’s union compensation plan, PSW I, Step A. • The council approved a five-year contract

agreement with Ramsey County to provide law enforcement services from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2029. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office currently provides law enforcement and public safety services to several municipalities that lack police departments. The Sheriff’s Office offers these services to Arden Hills, Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township; Falcon Heights contracts separately. All contracts between the office and these cities will expire on Dec. 31, 2024.

• The council approved a request from the Vadnais Heights Firefighters’ Relief Association to increase the city’s firefighter pension benefit level from $7,300 to $7,800 per year of service.

This increase comes after the PERA MN Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan conducted a cost analysis on July 29, 2024.

This analysis determined that an increase in this amount will have no estimated required contribution by the city in 2025. This increase will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025.

• The council authorized staff to reclassify the fire department’s open fire technician position to a full-time captain position. The council also authorized staff to advertise for and fill the full-time captain position. The department currently operates with a minimum threeperson duty crew staffing (officer, engineer and firefighter). Reclassifying the technician position, according to Fire Chief Chris Hearden, will reduce the responsibilities that are currently placed on part-time staff. This new position will be structured as a 24-hour rotating shift, which will also require three full-time positions to fill in the roles of officer, engineer and firefighter. The city intends to fill up to two of these positions from existing full-time staff openings in 2024 and 2025. A full-time captain will be responsible for managing fire, emergency medical services and other training for the department, as well as assisting in overall employee development, which includes the field training program for the duty crew staff. The current fire technician position salary ranges from $74,609 to $89,502, while the planned captain position’s salary will range from $83,200 to $99,840 with similar benefits.

Erik Suchy

Jill Funck

Jill Funck will receive the Inclusive Employer Champion Award. Funck is the talent development principal for H.B. Fuller. The company is this year’s recipient of the Inclusive Employer Champion Award.

“We’re proud to be recongized for this award from the Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation,” said Funck.

“It’s nice to be recognized for all the hard work we’ve put into inclusive leadership and diversity.”

Athletes take ‘championship walk’ at Wildwood Elementary

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Kaili Malvey Mahtomedi Volleyball Kaili Malvey, Mahtomedi’s soaring, 5-foot-11 outside hitter, was a big factor in the Zephyrs winning two of three state matches to place fifth in Class 3A. Malvey generated 44 kills in 95 attempts with just 13 errors and made the alltournament team. The third-year starter worked hard on attacking with Zephyr coaches for her senior season. “I hated getting blocked and dug, and I wanted to do everything I could to prevent that,” said Malvey. She added a volleyball state medal to those she’s earned in track for sixth place in long jump and seventh in high jump.
